The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 220 Jealousy

"Of course that's good!"

Shopkeeper Wan nodded repeatedly, "This is the bookstore with the best business in western Beijing.

Besides, the owner of the bookstore is not short of money. When the owner wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the place of the bookstore, the shopkeeper Lin refused to agree. "

"As long as the business is good, it can also boost our business!" said Ye Xinran.

With the help of Manager Wan, Ye Xinran's progress was relatively smooth.

Decorating the store, setting up the counter, displaying the goods, hiring people, custom-making packaging boxes... everything went smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Manager Wan also asked someone to calculate the date. The 28th of next month is a good day for breaking ground and opening the business.

There is still plenty of time, so Ye Xinran plans to prepare more thoroughly.

Training should be conducted before opening the business so that all employees can understand the basic information about the products and will not be stumped by questions from customers when selling.

During this period, she received letters from Leng Qingxin and Li Mo.

Leng Qingxin's letter mainly talked about the child's situation, so that Ye Xinran could rest assured.

Changsheng, Changan, and Changping each added their own words at the end of the letter.

Changsheng and Changping talked about their studies and asked Ye Xinran to take care of her health.

Changan wrote a page of paper in a fluent manner, recording how much he had grown recently, how many candies he had eaten, and how many times he had been scolded by the teacher...

Ye Xinran was so happy watching this that she missed them from the bottom of her heart.

Li Mo's letter was all about business.

The sales of Snow Cream and Facial Soap are both good, and the store in the city has been renovated and is waiting to open after Ye Xinran returns.

Everything is going well in the workshops in the village. Now everyone's skills are more sophisticated and the daily output is getting higher and higher.

At the end of the letter, Li Mo also mentioned that the head of the village and the villagers missed her very much and asked her when she would go back...

Ye Xinran gently folded the letter and prepared to reply to them later.

Things here have not been settled yet, and it will take a long time for her to go back.

……

Soon the day arrived when the Lu family announced Ye Xinran's identity.

Leng Qingyu spent a long time preparing for this banquet and sent invitations to all the famous nobles who had connections in the capital.

Many people came to the Lu family.

Many of them were on good terms with Lu Zhiyi and were prepared to come and watch the fun.

I wonder how vulgar a girl who grew up in the countryside could be!

You won’t be so shy as to be afraid to see people, right?

They speculated secretly.

But as soon as Ye Xinran came out, it was like a dazzling light appeared in front of everyone.

It was so bright that everyone could hardly open their eyes.

She was wearing a lavender Liuxian dress and a cloak made of floating brocade.

The silk threads on the brocade sparkled in the sunlight, reflecting different rays of light with every step she took.

She had delicate eyebrows and eyes like ripples on autumn water, and a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, as if she was a fairy from heaven descended to earth.

"Is this the Lu family's newly found daughter? She looks so noble!"

"Don't you even look at what she's wearing?"

"That's right. She's the daughter of the Leng family, so naturally she can wear whatever she wants." Someone in the crowd said sarcastically.

But someone immediately refuted:

"The key is that she's good-looking. Didn't you see that her luxurious decorations didn't suppress her aura at all?"

"Indeed, that dress looks even better against her!"

People congratulated Leng Qingyu and Lu Tingen.

In comparison, Lu Zhiyi, who was standing next to Leng Qingyu, was wearing much simpler clothes.

Leng Qingyu was wearing a maroon silk dress, while Lu Zhiyi was wearing a cherry red brocade skirt.

Last time, Ye Xinran outshined her by wearing a skirt of this color, and she thought she could make a comeback today.

But she never expected that her mother would use the rarest floating brocade to make clothes for Ye Xinran.

Lu Zhiyi was so angry that she was about to explode, but in front of everyone, she had to maintain her usual dignified image.

After all, Ye Xinran was not familiar with such an environment. After meeting each other, everyone took their seats.

However, during the meal, people's attention was always unconsciously attracted to Ye Xinran at the main table.

Some young men in particular even secretly had some thoughts about it.

"Don't think about it!"

The younger sister who came with him said to her brother, "I heard from Zhiyi that her elder sister was married when she was in the countryside, and her husband has been dead for less than half a year."

"She's actually a widow?" After hearing this, the young man's beating heart immediately calmed down.

Some curious girls secretly asked Lu Zhiyi: "Didn't you say your sister is rustic? She doesn't look like that now!"

Lu Zhiyi gritted her teeth and said, "My mother was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she made this floating brocade specially! If this floating brocade was worn by someone else, it would definitely look more noble!"

After hearing this, the sisters agreed with it deeply.

After the banquet, the Lu family prepared gifts for every guest present, which were facial cleansing soaps carefully packed by Ye Xinran.

Four bars of facial soap were put into a box with the words "Yun Zhong Xian" written on it.

This is also the packaging box designed by Ye Xinran for the store.

I made some specially for this banquet.

Everyone was a little surprised when they took the facial soap.

I've seen people giving gifts, but I've never seen anyone giving something like this.

The maid who was in charge of distributing the gifts said, "This is something our young lady researched and made herself in Yunbian Village. It washes your face very cleanly and comfortably."

Everyone accepted the gifts, but didn't take them seriously.

It's just a face-washing device, so it's not much different.

After the banquet, Lu Zhiyi went to the backyard to find the old lady.

"Grandma, isn't my mother too partial? She made such beautiful clothes for my sister, but I've never seen her be so generous to me."

Old Madam Lu lived in the backyard, but she knew everything that happened in the past.

She had no objection to Ye Xinran's popularity; instead, she thought it was a good thing.

In this way, Prince Rui will not feel that the Lu family is marrying above their station.

But she wouldn't say that to Lu Zhiyi, "Your mother has always been selfish, even when Ye Xinran wasn't around, she was partial to Changqing.

Fortunately, you can see clearly. You don't need to worry too much about these things. Just keep it in mind."

"But it's obvious that I've been filial to her for a longer time, so mother doesn't remember anything at all?"

Lu Zhiyi just couldn't accept it. Why should she be outdone by Ye Xinran?

"Don't worry, you are the child who grew up in our Lu family. Even if your mother doesn't remember, your grandmother will always remember!

That girl is only in glory for a few days. In terms of talent, intelligence and knowledge, how can she compare with you?

You are going to have a great future, so don't bother with this country girl.

You lost your own identity.”

After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Zhiyi finally agreed reluctantly.
