Chapter 384 Reward Again
Ye Family——
Ye Caiping's family and the Shen family were kneeling on the ground to receive the order.
Eunuch Yu took the imperial edict and read it:
"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, declares that Ye Caiping has a unique vision and has built a new well that benefits the people. I am very pleased and I will reward you with three thousand taels of silver and confer the title of Third Rank Lady. I hope you will stick to your original intention and make new contributions to the prosperity of our country and the welfare of the people. I decree this."
After reading it, Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Please accept my order, Ye Shuren."
Ye Caiping quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Lord."
After everyone got up, Jin'er and Huan'er came over excitedly, "I didn't expect that mother was promoted to the third rank!"
Shen Manman said: "Of course. Aunt must have known about the bullying of Auntie at the last Plum Blossom Banquet, and now she has caught a credit. Of course, I will get as much promotion as I can!"
Shen Zhiyan flicked her forehead and smiled, "Shut up. It's not too much for your aunt to be promoted to the first rank."
Shen Manman’s eyes lit up: “Dad is still smart, I will go and act like a spoiled child with my aunt now, so that Sheng… um!”
Ye Caiping was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hands: "You unlucky child..." Then she turned around and laughed at her father-in-law: "Hahaha, children are ignorant."
Eunuch Yu chuckled, “Miss Shen is still as cute as ever.
Everyone present started laughing.
Old Madam Shen stuffed a purse into Eunuch Yu's pocket and said with a smile, "Let's see who dares to say that my Shen family has bad taste in the future."
Mrs. Shen said, "That's right."
Shen Zhiyan watched them celebrating, then took Ye Caiping for a walk in the back garden.
Shen Zhiyan said: "Thank you for your hard work, you still have to earn your own imperial decree."
He felt a little guilty.
In other families, the husbands fought for their wives to obtain titles and imperial decrees, but in his family, she had to earn them on her own.
Ye Caiping smiled at him and said, "You look sad? Has your self-esteem been hit? Do you want to do something big? Well, you are still young and in your prime. Do you want to encourage yourself?"
Shen Zhiyan smiled: "You want me to serve as an official in the court?"
Ye Caiping shook her head: "To be honest, I don't want to."
She wanted him to accompany her back to Nanzhou, run the business together, and go fishing in her spare time.
Ye Caiping stopped and looked back at him: "But... you should do what you like. Although I like the tranquility of villages and small towns, I also like the prosperity of the capital. I can live anywhere."
"Also, the three girls are not young anymore. At least Manman will definitely marry in the capital. If Manman marries in the capital, then Jin'er and Huan'er should also try to marry here. It will be easier to take care of the three girls together."
"Also, I plan to open glass and furniture workshops in the suburbs of Beijing. We will live in Beijing for at least a dozen years."
Shen Zhiyan smiled: "You think long-term!"
"Well, of course. After all, you have a lifetime to live! So if you have any regrets, don't worry too much."
Shen Zhiyan said: "When I was young, I felt regretful, but now that I am old, I feel that the present is the best."
Ye Caiping said, "How can you be old? You are still young!"
In modern times, there are a lot of top male actors of this age who perform ancient costume dramas.
Shen Zhiyan held her hand and smiled: "Yes, I'm still young. Fortunately, I can still meet you at this age."
Ye Caiping said sweetly: "I haven't fished for a long time, do you want to go fishing?"
"good."
He didn't seem to like fishing as much since he'd been with her.
But fishing with her doubles the fun!
......
When the Lin Yaxian sisters learned that Ye Caiping had invented the water pressurized well and was awarded the third-rank imperial title, they almost vomited blood.
Especially Lin Yating, she donated more than ten thousand taels!
He bought a good reputation in this way, but in the end, before he could enjoy the fame for a few days, the limelight was snatched away by Ye Caiping.
Those more than ten thousand taels seemed to be wasted!
Because that money was spent on food and fodder, while Ye Caiping's water pressurized well was used for the people.
People are all praising Ye Caiping.
This is not the most exciting part.
The next day, the Shen family's large ship docked.
Batch after batch of glass products shipped from Qinghe Village in Nanzhou were unloaded from the ship.
These are all glass lampshades.
Because the workshop had just started and was in a hurry to go to Beijing, all its efforts were focused on making doors, windows and lights for the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.
After Ye Caiping left, the workshop did not stop and continued to operate and produce.
This time we rushed out a large number of lampshades, more than 30,000 pieces, and they finally arrived today.
Ye Caiping picked a few grocery stores with good reputation in the capital and put the lampshades there for sale.
A small lampshade only cost fifty cents, and even the poorest people could buy one if they gritted their teeth.
The vendor said, "Ye Shuren didn't make a penny from this batch of lampshades. The New Year is coming soon, and these lampshades are good for fire prevention."
When the people heard this, they went crazy scrambling for the lampshades.
Everyone knows that among the nobles there is a thing called glass, which is more transparent than colored glaze.
I originally thought that it was a precious item that only nobles could use, but I never thought that they could also buy it.
Moreover, the glass lampshade is transparent. When put over the candle flame, it is both windproof and fireproof. It is brighter and safer than paper or cloth lampshades.
There are many that were not available, and Ye Caiping said that there will be supplies next year.
This is obviously a business that can be dominated by one person, but Ye Caiping took the low-end route, making lampshades affordable for ordinary people and reducing the risk of water leakage.
Lin Yating felt that she was slapped in the face again.
She used to secretly curse Ye Caiping for making glass that ordinary people couldn't afford, and said that her work to benefit the people was just a way to gain fame and reputation, and that she could only make money from the nobles.
Who would have thought that Ye Caiping actually produced a batch of such cheap goods that ordinary people could afford.
Does she know that she will lose a lot of money this way?
If it were her, with such a secret recipe, she would sell it for as much as possible! Focus on making it a business for the nobility, rather than allowing the lower class to use it!
......
Duke Ping's Mansion——
Li Jiaojiao was almost mad to death when she heard that her enemy was in glory again.
But what matters to her right now is not Ye Caiping's situation, but Gu Han!
But Li Jiaojiao was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of her mouth, but she still couldn't find a solution.
Is this how her life will be? Since I can't marry into a rich family, am I going to rot in this superficial Duke's Mansion?
Li Jiaojiao changed her clothes and ran to the Taoist temple she had been to last time.
But I was told that the master of the temple went out traveling yesterday.
Li Jiaojiao was anxious and disappointed, so she could only go home in disappointment.
