Chapter 46: Visitors from Beijing
"What's wrong with your head?" Mr. Lin was really impressed by Ye Mingzhu.
Most brides are extremely nervous on their wedding day and can hardly speak, but Ye Mingzhu still wants to do business with them.
Ye Mingzhu smiled with some intelligence: "Wasn't it Sister Lin who brought it up first? You can talk to my third uncle later and ask him to buy a batch of salted fish in the village first. Sister Lin will check the quality and if she thinks it's okay, we can talk to her later."
Mr. Lin nodded, thinking in his mind how to make the best use of these salted fish and cured fish.
There is certainly no shortage of fresh fish in the capital, but as the weather turns from autumn to winter, the price will rise rapidly.
In Yuanshan Village, the cost of salting fish is only salt and labor. If you buy more delicious sea fish, you can give them as gifts or send them to restaurants.
At this time of year, we can catch a lot of fish almost every time we go out to sea, and it is not difficult to make salted fish.
When Ye Mingzhu saw the salted fish at Uncle Ye's house that day, she was thinking about finding an opportunity to sell it, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Mr. Lin lowered his head and tasted the salted fish again, and finally nodded.
Ye Mingzhu immediately went to the door with a smile and asked someone to find Fang. She asked Fang to prepare some pickled salted fish and cured fish as soon as possible and have Uncle Ye send them to Linglong Pavilion tomorrow.
Fang's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "Salted fish can also be sold for money?"
They used to deliver fish to the town, but the town only wanted fresh fish, no one wanted salted fish.
Originally, the salted fish was just pickled at home, but today there were many people coming, and I was afraid that there would not be enough fresh fish, so I steamed some salted fish.
Ye Mingzhu reminded Fang not to tell anyone about this matter and returned to the main room.
The three maids had finished eating and came back. The Lin family members also put down their chopsticks and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Lin Dongjia reminded Ye Mingzhu to remember to send her the picture.
Ye Mingzhu thought about it in her mind and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you are lying to me. I have already submitted enough drawings for this month."
Lin Dongjia raised his eyebrows: "I have already agreed to sell fish to you, and you don't draw more pictures. That money is not just mine."
Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to agree to draw two more pictures in the next few days, and then Lin Dongjia left with a smile.
By the time everyone left, it was almost dark.
Jiang Hongyu returned to the house, his face flushed. He took Ye Mingzhu's hand and said, "Mingzhu, were you full just now?"
Ye Mingzhu handed him the handkerchief in her hand: "You are full, wipe the sweat off your face, I will go get you some water."
Jiang Hongyu accepted everyone who came today and drank a lot of wine, so he was a little tipsy.
He pulled Ye Mingzhu to sit down: "I'm not thirsty, sit down and let's talk."
"I'm thinking of digging a door in the wall between our two houses. This way, Yun An can come here more easily without having to go outside. We can also raise the wall on the other side. It will be safer this way."
When he was welcoming the bride today, he deliberately showed off his boxing skills and broke a piece of wood with his bare hands. Anyone with a sound mind would generally not cause trouble for them.
Ye Mingzhu nodded, this is very necessary.
"These three rooms are for us to live in, and the other three are for mother to live in."
The Jiang family built a main house with six rooms. Aunt Jiang lived in the three east rooms, and Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu lived in the three west rooms.
There is only an east wing in the yard, one used as a kitchen and the other as a warehouse. The yard is very spacious.
Ye Mingzhu looked out the window and saw two or three women washing dishes outside the door. Aunt Jiang walked in with a bowl of noodles.
"Mingzhu, there are a lot of people at home today, and I see you haven't eaten much. Have a bowl of noodles first."
"Thank you, mother." Ye Mingzhu took the bowl and asked, "Is it just mine? Are you and Hongyu full?"
Seeing Ye Mingzhu thinking about her, Aunt Jiang's face was full of smiles: "We have all eaten, you can eat, there is enough food at home, just tell me if you want to eat noodles."
Jiang Hongyu was a little confused at first, but he suddenly sobered up after hearing this: "Mom, don't I cook for everyone in our family?"
Aunt Jiang patted him and said, "Kid, it's not like I haven't done this before."
Jiang Hongyu stood up with a smile: "I feel sorry for my mother, don't I? Yun Anke said that starting tomorrow, he will be responsible for cooking at home, and asked me not to compete with him."
Aunt Jiang waved her hand: "Alright, I know you think my cooking is not tasty, you can do whatever you want from now on."
Ye Mingzhu also understood what Jiang Hongyu meant. She took Aunt Jiang's arm and sniffed: "Mom, Yun An also dislikes my cooking because it's not tasty. She won't let me cook."
Jiang Hongyu waved his hand and said, "From now on, Yun An and I will cook for our family. Tonight, I'll let you taste our cooking skills."
Aunt Jiang thought Jiang Hongyu felt sorry for his wife, so she simply waved her hand. She was not the kind of mother-in-law who would torture her daughter-in-law, and it was not her who cooked anyway.
At this time, the woman who was helping with work in the yard came to find her. She went out to distribute the vegetables that she had specially reserved for today to several people, and then sent a few people to the door before closing the door and going back to the house.
"Mingzhu, let me take your pulse." Aunt Jiang asked Ye Mingzhu to put her arm on the table. After examining one hand, she asked her to stretch out the other hand.
"Mingzhu, you've recovered well," Aunt Jiang said with a smile, "It seems you've been taking the medicinal bath on time."
"However, you caught a severe cold earlier. I estimate it will take at least a year for you to recover."
Aunt Jiang paused.
Ye Mingzhu smiled indifferently. She had experienced bone marrow transplants, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in modern times. Now it was just a matter of soaking in a medicinal bath for a year. She didn't feel any pressure at all.
"I've been the most obedient patient this year."
Ye Mingzhu assured with a smile.
"I want to tell you that your body hasn't recovered yet and you can't get pregnant. Even if you're lucky enough to have a child, it could be a miscarriage or a premature birth. That's not good for you or the child. So, I want you and Brother Yu to consummate your marriage in a year."
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised. The Jiang family knew that she had a cold but still married her. Now they are even waiting for her to recover before consummating the marriage. What kind of angelic in-laws are they?
Aunt Jiang misunderstood Ye Mingzhu's meaning and spoke faster: "Mingzhu, you are entering the family today. All the ceremonies have been completed in Beijing. You are the daughter-in-law of my Jiang family. Nothing will change. I am really doing this for your own good."
Ye Mingzhu put away the surprise on her face: "I believe mother is doing this for my own good."
"Mingzhu, you are still young. Even if you don't have a cold, it's not advisable for you to get pregnant too early. The daughters of our Zhou family are all engaged at the age of sixteen or seventeen and get married after the age of eighteen. This way, there will be no harm to their bodies." Aunt Jiang's face was a little sad when she mentioned her mother's family.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that there was such a sensible family in ancient times. It seems that Aunt Jiang's family is a medical family.
"Mingzhu, someone from my mother's family is here to watch the ceremony today." Aunt Jiang said while observing Ye Mingzhu's expression.
"Hmm, hmm?" Ye Mingzhu was really surprised. Aunt Jiang meant that the capital would send someone to attend the wedding of Jiang Hongyu and her?
But their wedding was arranged in a hurry, how come the person from Beijing came so quickly?
