Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 121 Part 4: Setting Off
Uncle Ming Xuan, this time its really thanks to Uncle Ming Yus help. Jiang Li smiled. I hope Uncle Ming Yu can go together to Yanjing. I feel more at ease with him around. Ye Ming Yu was a very good relative. He never asked a lot, boorish, but able to understand Jiang Li thoroughly. WIth Ye Ming Yu around, many things became easier to do.
Ye Ming Yu heard Jiang Li speak for him and promptly straightened his body in pride. He gave Ye Ming Xuan a have you seen it look.
Ye Ming Xuan still wanted to retort, but old madam Ye spoke first. She said, Okay, since Ah Li wants old third to go, then old third, go and follow. Ah Li is a girl after all, although there are bodyguards, Im not relieved. Old third, Ill leave Ah Li to you, if Ah Li met with something unexpected, Ill question you when you return.
Dont worry, mother, Ye Ming Yu smiled radiantly, Be at ease with my handling!
Old madam Ye turned her head again to look at Jiang Li, reluctance in her eyes, Ah Li, you havent stayed in Xiangyang for long, but soon have to leave.. Dont know when you can come again.
Jiang Lis heart softened, she pulled old madam Yes hand and said, Grandmother, its okay, after I return to Yanjing and report the matter, I will find a chance to go to Xingyang again. Wait for your health to get better, then ask uncles and aunts to take you to Yanjing together. Old cousin Ye is now staying in Yanjing as an official in the Ministry of Revenue. When hes stable, its good that our Ye family also gains a foothold in Yanjing.
The sentence, our Ye family, made old madam Ye feel extremely comfortable and the smile on her face could not stop. She said, Okay, good, then I will stay in Xiangyang and nurse my health carefully. When I can walk, Ill go with your uncles and aunts to Yanjing to see Shijie and you.
Ye Ming Hui and the others at the side felt grateful. Before Jiang Li came to the Ye residence, old madam Ye was sick all the time and could not even get out of bed, not brimming with vitality like now. It had not been long since Jiang Li came to the Ye residence, nevertheless, the old ladys health was getting better day by day.
In the end, its better for people to have desire, with desire, everything is hopeful.
The Ye family members chatted for a while, until it was late in the evening and only after they had eaten their meals did everyone disperse.
Xue Huai Yuan had fallen asleep. Jiang Li took a look at him and exhorted the surrounding guards to look after him carefully before returning to her room. She did not expect to see Ye Jia Er in her room.
Tonger steeped tea and gave a cup of warm tea to Ye Jia Er. Jiang Li entered and called her, Elder cousin.
Younger cousin. Ye Jia Er stood up.
Jiang Li asked, Its so late already, is Miss Jia Er looking for me for something?
Ye Jia Er pointed to a small box on the table with embarrassment and said, Give you.
Jiang Li opened the box to take a look and saw that it was a piece of clothing. It was a long, wide-sleeved skirt with narrow sleeves, gentle and white as pearl. However, under the lights, it produced a clear luster, like the ripple of seawater, sparkling tiny blue lights.
We took out and processed those peacock feathers that my third uncle brought back. We first made sample cloths and came up with a few bolts of materials, yes, roughly the material will look like this. Ye Jia Er said, Because we are still exploring, there are many defects. So far, only this piece was successful. My father, uncle and I have agreed to turn this cloth into clothes and give it to you. This is the idea you came up with, the ancient fragrant satin cannot be done anymore, we have to make a new material that is comparable to ancient fragrant satin.. Younger cousin, what do you think of this material?
Jiang Li said, Very beautiful.
Really? Ye Jia Ers expectation seemed to have come true all of a sudden, her eyes looking at Jiang Li was packed with uncontainable happiness.
I never tell lies.
Im assured after hearing you say so. Younger cousin, in Yanjing, you have seen many good things, since you said that its good, then its definitely okay. I believe you. Ye Jia Er was very happy, We had a discussion, the pattern of this material is just like the water in the ocean, so it will be called ripple pattern.
Ripple pattern.. Jiang Li contemplated for a while, then looked at her, This name is very nice.
I came up with it. Ye Jia Er bashfully pinched the corner of her skirt. This usually natural and unrestrained girl showed a bit of shyness. She said, I was thinking, younger cousin is the chief assistants daughter, so you must know many noble ladies. If younger cousin wear this to go out and people like the clothes you are wearing, then they will naturally inquire about the materials and where to make it. That will be an opportune time to introduce the ripple pattern. She paused before continuing, Younger cousin, dont think that we as merchants value money and profits like this, its just that the current Ye family will not be able to get up if we dont quickly put out something that could replace ancient fragrant satin. The Ye familys business will sooner or later collapse. I dont want to let grandmother and grandfathers sweat and blood be wasted. Since my surname is Ye, I must carry this responsibility.
She hesitatingly said, I know my request is too much..
Not too much. Jiang Li said.
Ye Jia Er looked at her.
Although my surname is not Ye, my mothers surname is Ye. The blood of the Ye family flows in half of my body, so naturally I also have to assume the Ye familys duty. Jiang Li smiled and said, Moreover, I dont think theres anything bad with this. Now theres merely this one ripple pattern cloth, presumably its not easy to produce. The rare something is, the greater is its value. The rarer ripple pattern cloth is, the heavier peoples thirst for it will be.
This is the Ye familys opportunity. Elder cousin, grab the chance, I believe, the Ye familys business does not have to worry about not having a qualified successor to carry on.
These were Jiang Lis sincere words. Supposed that Ye Jia Er did not understand the Ye familys industry at all, no matter how wealthy the Ye family was, after a generation, when the Ye familys three brothers grew old, sooner or later, the family properties would fall apart.
However, Ye Jia Er was clearly very clever and she inherited the Ye familys business acumen. It had shown since she was at a young age.
Elder cousin, hand this matter to me, Jiang Li gently caressed the clothes in the small box and said, I will definitely wear this at a suitable time, when many peoples eyes can focus on it.
Ye Jia Er stared blankly at Jiang Li. After a while, she suddenly laughed and nodded vigorously.
Mm!
