Lin secretly pleased, indeed Liu Li and Ye Jinxuan didn’t get along well with each other. She said on purpose: ” She is a businesswoman and already glib and crafty. Also, she is good at such things unlike us who grow up in a good family. If she cheats us, we will even help her to conceal it.”
Lin also hated Ye Jiayao, because if it weren’t that she said something bad in front of the imperial concubine, would she had been punished? Originally, she had the final say in the inner court of Prince Yu’s Mansion, but now she still had to look at Ruan’s face and lose her princess’s name, which had made her very angry. In short, it was all the harm of a bitch named Ye.
” Others will say, you and she are sisters – in – law, when dessert house opens, she doesn’t inform you, what is this? If she notifies you, you don’t go, this is your mistake. But if she doesn’t inform you, obviously she doesn’t put you in the eye, how will outsiders think? Maybe others think you don’t give her face or that you are mean!It is also too poisonous. ” Lin spared no effort to smear Ye Jiayao.
Liu Li hated her to death, because she didn’t planned to argue with Ye Jinxuan ant more, or she would not move out, but Ye was still calculating her. It was true. How could it be tolerated?
” Ah … I can’t get along with such people. I can understand why you move out now and I can’t stand it.”
” Forget it, don’t mention her, it’s my big mouth. If you don’t know this, you will not have to worry about it. If you know it, it can only be a bad heart. There’s something else in Prince Yu’s mansion, I’ll come back first and see you another day.” Lin’s purpose had been achieved, She would leave first.
Liu Li sent Lin out of the house, and she was too infuriated. She ordered a carriage to be prepared and went to Ye’s Dessert House.
Indeed as expected, as Lin said, Ye’s dessert house was extremely popular, which could be seen from the luxury carriage that had slipped away from the house. People who came here were both rich and noble.
Liu Li looked for a moment and saw a familiar figure coming out, and then ordered the carriage to leave.
Ye Jiayao was sending Zhu and Zhu ‘s sisters-in-law out of the door. A membership card could take three people at a time, with a 20 % discount for each consumption. A hundred members were equal to four hundred to five hundred or more guests, which could motivate sales, because few people came to eat sweet hot drinks by herself. Moreover, owning a membership card was a symbol of identity, bringing people here with it, with a double face, and Ye Jiayao’s abacus was finely crafted.
” What do you want to say?” Ye Jiayao sincerely said because Zhu was her better friend and had insight. Ye Jiayao would like to hear her opinion.
Zhu chuckled and said, ” Don’t embarrass me. I haven’t seen any desserts and hot drinks you made. They’re delicious. What else can I do for you?”
” There are always shortcomings. You must tell me when you think about them.” Ye Jiayao laughed.
” Well, then I’ll go back and think hard,” Zhu joked.
When the carriage came, Ye Jiayao gave a virtual hand and called Zhu’s sisters-in-law and said, ” When you two want to come, just bring her card.”
The two of them were still wanting more. They heard that they could get Zhu’s card with a bright eye: ” Is that ok?”
Ye Jiayao said with a smile: “No one else can do it, but you can just come.”
This was certainly not the first time that Ye Jiayao said that both the members and their friends could come again. Of course, she did not say that to anyone. Doing business depended on her own ability and also on friends’ support. For some friends, this face must be given.
Indeed, they were very happy. Zhu laughed: ” This is all right. Don’t worry about the membership fee.”
After sending Zhu away, Ye Jiayao went back to greet other guests.
Looking at the good business in the store, Ye Jiayao was also in a good mood. At the beginning, she was also a little worried. As Chunyu said: “Feudal ethics are deeply rooted and even can’t open up the situation. Now she looks over-worried .”
She was wondering if she was going to develop some new products. A waiter told her that Young Royal Highness Jing was here ,and he was outside, if she should let him come in?
Ye Jiayao had a basic rule in this Ye’s Dessert House that didn’t receive male guests. The waiters here were all gorgeous and beautiful young girls, all of whom were selected from the thousands of people. After a period of training, the service was in place.
The store rules couldn’t be broken. Men would disturb the ladies here when they came in. Ye Jiayao would go out to see Little Jing.
Little Jing had swollen eyes due to recent night lives. Ye Jiayao could not help but frown: ” What are you doing these days? People who engage in such activities are like ghosts.”
Little Jing looked at the sign of Ye’s Dessert House and said with a smile, ” Is it really not for male guests?”
” Of course, there are a number of darling unmarried daughters,” Ye Jiayao said.
Little Jing wrinkled his nose: ” Will I have no luck with this?”
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes: ” Upon hearing what you say, I know you have not been home these days. I have told princess to bring some delicious food back.”
Little Jing embarrassed: ” I’m busy ! Hey, do you find me the other day for something?”
Ye Jiayao could not help rolling her eyes again: ” When you react at the moment, it’s too late.”
Little Jing became nervous: ” You really have something to do with me? Is brother Chunyu guilty again?”
” Go away, you speak nonsense!” Ye Jiayao was arguing for Chunyu, he didn’t know how honest Chunyu was since Lu Xiaotian’s incident.
” I hear that the old ancestor’s cough has been committed again, and that you have not been able to get home recently. I know you are busy outside, but you shouldn’t ignore the old ancestor and princess.”
In front of Little Jing, Ye Jiayao always claimed to be his elder sister and said whatever she wanted.
Little Jing smiled awkwardly: ” I see, my mother complained to you, does she?”
Ye Jiayao also did not deny it, saying: ” Complaining is also out of concern. No matter what happens, family members are the most important.”
Chunyu said that Little Jing was doing business and refused to tell her anything. It was a secret matter. She was not the kind of person who would asked endlessly. She would never go after the root of things she shouldn’t ask.
” Yes, it must be corrected,” said Little Jing modestly.
Ye Jiayao didn’t say anything about him when she saw that his attitude was correct. It was strange for them to stand outside the door and talk, so she asked Qiao Xi to put some desserts to give to Little Jing.
” Here you are, when will I have something delicious here without your share? If you want to eat, let Pingan come and get it.”
Little Jing cheerfully took over: ” If you say so, I’ll be welcome.”
On her way home, Ye Jiayao was about to get off the carriage when she heard Qiaoxi whispered, ” I seem to see the second lady”
Ye Jiayao poked out her head in a hurry and saw Ye Jinrong’s back in a hurry, as if something was chasing her behind. It was a hurry to leave.
Did she miss Bao? No mother would give up her child.
Seeing Ye Jinrong, Ye Jiayao couldn’t help thinking about Assistant Minister Mu’s case. It had been reviewing for some time. She didn’t know if there was any result. Well, when Chunyu came back, she would ask.
In the main room, You looked at this month’s accounts and looked worried.
Mother Sun said cautiously, ” Second lady is indeed busy, and it is normal for her to fail to attend to her affairs. When the people below see this situation, they will inevitably have some lucky thoughts, or the lady will do it …”
You closed the books and said lightly, ” Since I have handed over this family to her, I will not intervene. You also don’t mind. Today is the end of the month, let the second lady look at the bills first. She can manage the Heavenly Residence and Ye’s dessert house, and it won’t be hard for her to deal with this matter.”
Mother Sun echoed with a smile: ” If the second lady gets up with her heart, what else can escape her eyes?”
You sighed, and said with some envy and helplessness, ” She is really capable. I have been running silks and satin business for many years. The shops in Jin Lin and Hangzhou together are not as good as her dessert house.”
Who else can think of that kind of idea?
The thought of despising Ye Jinxuan at the beginning, and thought of her of no use of being a cook? You didn’t think she could make such a big noise. In another few years, she would even be Jin Lin’s richest person.
Still Chunyu had a vision!A little jealous ,but she was still very happy because her heart turned sour. Ye Jinxuan had not only earned back money but also face. Now everyone boasted that she had found a good daughter – in – law?”
” Call Housekeeper Zhong to pay the bill!” You’s face had recovered. She wouldn’t see the wrong person. Ye Jinxuan could solve this small matter by herself.
As soon as Ye Jiayao returned to her room and changed her clothes, hearing that Housekeeper Zhong was waiting.
Ye Jiayao knew that it was the end of the month to pay the bill, so she came back early. Before dinner time, Ye Jiayao went to the front office to see Housekeeper Zhong.
Both Housekeeper Zhong and the accountant was in the room.
Ye Jiayao quietly leafed through the books.
This month’s expenditure was much higher than that of the previous month. Some of it was used to add items to Chunfeng’s new residence and bought several servants. These expenses had nothing to say and should be. But what about other expenses? For example, food was only slightly less than last month, which wasn’t normal? As she knew, the house was one room less and there were ten servants left. Moreover, there were no guests in the government this month.
Since she took charge of the family, she had not given too many orders and warnings, just to see who was faithful and reliable, who could exercise self-discipline without deterrence, and who was most trustworthy.
Well, it was only a month, then look for another month to see who else couldn’t resist showing his nature.
Ye Jiayao closed the books and said to Housekeeper Zhong, ” No problem, you do very well.”
Housekeeper Zhong frowned his brows obviously, didn’t second lady really find any problem?
” Oh, I hear that the lady intends to let Lin Shu, son of Lin Kun, and Ziming, son of Zhou Xing, take over in the future?” Ye Jiayao seemed to ask at random.
Housekeeper Zhong replied, ” It is true.”
Ye Jiayao said, ” Well, then let Lin Shu go to the silk shop to learn something. There must also be a process for his succession, it’s not easy to succeed.”
