Chapter 18 Calculating

It will be on Qingyun list next week~o(n_n)o~ I hope everyone can collect and vote for it~

After entering Changhe Hall, even Ye Yuanzhou was much more reserved than before and followed Ye Chengli obediently.

Several cousins ​​were also there. When they saw Ye Yuanzhou, they smiled and nodded, but they were not very warm.

The third family members were all concubines, and because Ye Chengli rarely returned to Beijing during his tenure, he had little contact with the eldest family members and the second family members, so it was inevitable that they would have weak feelings.

After Ye Qinglanle respectfully saluted Chang Yuanbo and his wife, he stood aside quietly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took a few more glances at the picture of Autumn Mountains and Cold Forests, enjoying himself and not feeling lonely at all.

After her eyes were filled with addiction, Ye Qinglan turned her attention to several cousins.

Ye Qingrou, the eighth daughter of the second room, and Ye Qingru, the five-year-old concubine, were standing together, whispering something. Ye Qingning, the sixth daughter of the eldest room, stood alone by herself, looking a little impatient.

Ye Qinglan observed the expressions of these two young girls almost out of instinct.

Ye Qingning's appearance and posture are impeccable, but her expression is a bit arrogant, and her small chin is slightly raised unconsciously. At a glance, it is clear that she has an arrogant temperament and is not easy to deal with.

But she is really beautiful, and her every move exudes innate elegance and nobility. Anyone who sees her for the first time will probably be attracted to her.

Ye Qingrou is completely different. She has a slender figure and a sweet appearance. She always has a sweet smile on her lips, making her appear easy-going and approachable.

Ye Qinglan thought for a while, then took the initiative to talk to Ye Qingrou.

One of the social magic weapons, appropriate compliments and praises can make it easier to get closer.

"Eighth cousin, the dress you are wearing today is so beautiful." What Ye Qinglan was good at in her previous life was dealing with all kinds of strangers, and she was naturally familiar with them.

Sure enough, Ye Qingrou's smile immediately became a lot more affectionate: "Tenth cousin has a good eye, this was specially customized in Jinzhi Workshop!"

Ye Qinglan found the topic without any effort and asked curiously: "Where is Jinzhifang?"

Ye Qingrou smiled and explained Ye Qinglan's doubts: "This Brocade Zhifang is very famous in the capital. Even the concubines in the palace are frequent visitors to Brocade Zhifang!"

Different from ordinary clothing workshops, Nishiki Workshop initially focused on making men's ready-made clothes. It used exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship, and novel styles. In a very short period of time, it became popular among the aristocratic circles of the capital. Almost all aristocratic young men had their own clothes.

Wear ready-made clothes produced by Nishiki Weaving House.

After the name of Nishiki Zhifang became famous, it focused on exploring the women's ready-made clothing market. In just a few years, it became the most famous clothing workshop in Beijing.

Of course, the prices at Nishikoribo are also ridiculously expensive. Just such a thin pink and blue dress costs more than a dozen taels.

How much is a dozen taels approximately?

Ye Qinglan had just arrived and had no idea about money. However, she showed a look of envy at the right time.

Ye Qingrou was secretly proud, but she said casually: "It's nothing, I just made four new clothes, and my sixth cousin ordered eight in one go!"

Ye Qingning had been watching coldly and said nothing, but suddenly he said: "It's so sour. If you like it, just ask the second aunt to order more for you."

Ye Qingrou smiled for a moment, and then said with a nonchalant smile: "Sixth cousin is joking. My eldest aunt has always been generous to you. I am only envious. How dare I make such a request to my mother."

These words sound gentle, but when you taste them carefully, they are soft and yet prickly.

Ye Qingning was not someone to be trifled with either. The corners of his lips curved up in a mocking smile, and he said with a half-smile: "Eighth cousin is indeed obedient and sensible, but I, as a sister, are far behind. I am born to like beautiful people.

Clothes, jewelry, and those frivolous gadgets. We spend too much on daily life, but nothing compares to your frugality."

Ye Qingrou was choked, her teeth were itching with anger, and she had to force out a smile: "No, no, my cousin is so complimentary."

What a wonderful show of sisters fighting against each other! Compared with the two people in front of me, Ye Qingfu’s level is far behind.

Ye Qinglan watched it with gusto, secretly exclaiming that it was wonderful.

Ye Qingning looked over indifferently, and suddenly twitched the corner of his lips and said with a smile: "Tenth cousin, why didn't the ninth cousin come over today?" He clearly knew something about the inside story, but he pretended not to know and asked.

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "I'm probably feeling unwell due to fatigue from the journey. I'll be fine after two days of rest."

What happened last night reached Ye Qingning's ears so quickly. How talkative are the maids and women in the inner house?

This answer was somewhat beyond Ye Qingning's expectations.

From the brief moment they got together yesterday, it was enough to see that the relationship between Ye Qingfu and Ye Qinglan sisters was not harmonious. Ye Qingfu was fined and grounded, which was naturally good news for Ye Qinglan. But Ye Qinglan did not publicize it, but covered it up for Ye Qingfu.

.....He is also a smart man.

There was a subtle change in the way Ye Qingning looked at Ye Qinglan.

This change was not significant, but it could not be hidden from Ye Qinglan's sharp eyes.

Ye Qingning, who thinks she is extremely smart and extremely arrogant, naturally disdains dealing with stupid people. It seems that her performance just now caught Ye Qingning's eyes.

As for why she wanted to have a friendship with Ye Qingning, that was of course the reason.

Whether it was to avoid Ye Yuanzhou or to avoid Mr. Xue and Ye Qingfu, she had to find a way to stay in Changyuan Uncle's Mansion. As long as she could impress cheap dad Ye Chengli, there was a 50% chance of success.

It would of course be better if someone else was willing to speak up for her. Both Chang Yuanbo and his wife are good candidates, but it's a pity that they are not easy to get close to. Among the remaining people, the Zheng family is the only one.

Zheng's status is aloof, and her words are very powerful. As long as she is willing to open her mouth, Xue will be happy to get rid of herself as a hot potato. The question is, why should Zheng stand up for her, a concubine with a third wife?

Just when I was thinking about how to solve this problem, the opportunity came.

Ye Qinglan asked with a seemingly casual smile: "I've heard for a long time that my sixth cousin has outstanding piano skills. Who did she study under?"

The second social magic weapon is to choose the topic that the other party is most interested in when talking.

A hint of pride flashed in Ye Qingning's eyes, and he responded calmly: "The wife who is responsible for teaching me piano skills is named Zeng, and others call her Mrs. Zeng."

The word "other people" is used very wonderfully.

Who are the so-called others? Naturally, they are people who are accomplished in the art of piano. They may even be important people in the aristocratic circle. As a woman, Mrs. Zeng can become famous in the capital. She is by no means an ordinary person.

Thinking about it this way, it is naturally not an easy thing to hire such a luthier to teach the piano art.

Ye Qingrou did not interrupt, but there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

It seems that Mrs. Zeng is only responsible for teaching Ye Qingning's piano skills, and even Ye Qingrou, the second roommate, has no chance to learn with her.

Ye Qingning naturally would not have thought that in just one sentence, Ye Qinglan could infer so much useful information. [e="Zhou Xiaoyun's Happy Life"]
