Chapter 480 Visit 2
The guard hall at the door said that the young master of the Tang family was here to visit. Although I had never met the young master, the gifts brought back by the butler last time were gifts given to the ladies by the young master of the Tang family.
At that time, the housekeeper also told them that the young master of the Tang family was their lady's friend.
As the concierge, the housekeeper told them so much just to let them know that in addition to relatives, the Ye family also had this friend of the Tang family. In the future, when the young master of the Tang family came to Kyoto to study, the concierge would know about it and welcome him in without hesitation.
.
The guard at the concierge let them in and asked the second partner, who was also on duty, to tell the ladies and Butler Li.
Tang Shunyan walked in front, followed by the bookboy. As they walked, they observed that this house was quite big. If the Ye family could afford it, it must have cost a lot of money.
I guess there may be some kind of relationship that makes it so cheap.
Tang Weixing arranged for the guards to help bring the carriage and horse into the house, and then asked people to carry the gifts.
Tang Weixing also secretly observed this place. He heard that the house bought by his brother-in-law was very big. Later, he heard from his wife that his nieces lived in rented houses in Kyoto, but he did not expose this lie.
She must be on guard against something happening to her aunt and father-in-law at home!
He also did not tell his wife this secret. As for whether his wife would react when she came here and learned about this situation in the future, she would not help the aunt to cause trouble.
The house is so big and grand, and 10,000 taels of silver is really a bargain.
The house they live in now is still the property of the Tang family and belongs to them.
To have such a big house in such a luxurious area requires less than hundreds of thousands of silver.
What's more, so many guards and butlers are still half sold and half given away.
This should be another level of relationship!
Tang Weixing can know so much because of the Tang family's network. Although they live in a rural county, they can still understand some things in Kyoto.
What made the Tang family pay so much attention was, of course, the dozens of distinguished guests who came to visit the Ye family some time ago.
There are also gifts given by the emperor and empress. These are the biggest things in Kyoto and are the focus of gossip behind people's backs.
As for why the emperor and the queen gave gifts to the Ye family, was it because of General Ye's relationship or because of the Ye family sisters?
No one dares to ask what the emperor and empress are doing, and no one dares to ask what gifts they receive.
Who knows why this couple, with such a noble status, would look up to the peasant girl of the Ye family? According to others' speculation, General Ye and his family have been living outside the customs for these years, and it seems that they are going to get ahead!
The queen and the emperor both gave gifts secretly, and then there was the matter of a young daughter of the Ye family traveling with Butler Ye. Not many people knew about it at first. Later, some murderous incidents occurred, and there were several explosions at sea.
Well-informed businessmen and officials have also received private messages.
People from the Tang family in those places also had property and were very well-informed and knew a lot of things.
The eldest sister Ye Luoqi has been worried about the safety of her younger sister these days. There is no good news or other news coming from far away. She and her younger sisters have breakfast, lunch and dinner together every day.
Apart from getting together for meals, they usually continue to make some female celebrities.
She is embroidering a wedding dress and may get married soon. She is making the wedding dress and underwear, and will also make some clothes for her husband.
In addition to wedding dresses, she also makes some ordinary clothes. In fact, you can ask a tailor to make other things. She thinks that she has something to do and won't think too much.
The other two younger sisters are also accompanying her in her work as a dressmaker. In addition to daily wear, she also makes some clothes for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
A few of them would even make clothes for their parents or their two younger sisters and younger brother who live far away.
As for the two elderly people at home, these things are left to the maids around them.
The eldest sister Ye Luoqi and the two younger sisters have just finished dinner and have not gone back to the yard to sleep. They will also use their time to work as female celebrities in the evening. Although they work late in the day, their eyesight and mental strength are not so good.
In order to gain more time, they did rougher work at night, and continued to make simple clothes and underwear for the soldiers and relatives in distant places.
These are clothes made in several sizes: large, medium, small, extra large, and will be distributed according to those people's physiques.
I had made a batch of clothes before, and it was Wu Mei who suggested that we make them in this way. Underwear, singles, and panties cannot be made in one size, and we don’t know what everyone’s body shape is, so we should make a batch of several sizes together.
In this way, no fabric is wasted, and it can take care of everyone's physique.
People in the north are different from people in the south. Their physiques are thicker.
Especially people who exercise on horseback wear wider clothes and pants.
I wear different clothes than people who don't usually do much exercise.
"The eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady, there are distinguished guests coming to visit!"
Someone came to the eldest lady Ye Luoqi's yard to report. They knew that the three ladies would be in the eldest lady's yard and report to Ye Luoqi's maid Qinxian.
Qin Xian comes in to report.
"What kind of guest is he? Coming to visit so late?" The second young lady Ye Meiqi put down the needlework in her hands, and her maid Maidong quickly helped clean it up.
"I heard that the young master of the Tang family is here to visit!" Qinxian continued to report.
"Two sisters, since we are distinguished guests, there must be something important. Let's go and meet!" The eldest lady Ye Luoqi also put down the things in her hands. A maid helped her pack them. She took the strings beside her and prepared the chess spirit.
Go to the reception hall.
The second young lady Ye Meiqi also took Ophiopogon japonicus and Ganoderma lucidum out of the eldest sister's yard.
Third Miss Ye Xinqi called Xiaoju and Yueji, and the other maids returned to the courtyard first.
Li Zhihao and his son Li Anning had dinner together in the evening. After finishing the meal, they considered their son's homework. His son Li Anning studied with Mr. Mo, the accountant, and also learned some Chinese characters and poems and the Five Classics under his guidance.
He knew that his son was not good at studying, and hoped that he could learn some accounting skills and learn more under the guidance of this gentleman.
Recently, my son is still young, eleven or twelve years old, and he can't do anything big at such a young age. I can help him read the account books at night and point out loopholes.
The father and son heard the report in the yard. They knew that the guests were coming, and they were male guests. Of course, the relative's lady could not go to see them alone.
As uncles, housekeepers, and cousins, they want to meet relatives, relatives, and friends.
When the eldest lady Ye Luoqi came to the reception room with her two maids and two younger sisters, the guests had already been served tea, snacks and fruits by the maids of the house.
"Master Tang, uncle, why are you here in Kyoto!"
Third Miss Ye Xinqi asked first.
They knew that Master Tang had come to Kyoto to study, but it was still some time before the academy started, so they didn't know why he came early.
