Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

Chapter 159 A small dispute

After the meal, several people chatted with Ye Zhengde and his wife for a while, and then went back to their respective courtyards.

"Do you feel that mother seems to have changed?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"A little bit." Ye Quanyong thought about it.

“Now that you say that, it seems like you’ve changed.” Ye Jiaxuan said.

"Change? What changed?" Ye Ziyu thought about it and felt that nothing had changed.

"Just like you were arguing with dad today about bringing gifts. In the past, mom would definitely agree with dad and say that we can't just prepare these, and that grandma and everyone in the other room should prepare one." Ye Jiaxuan said.

"I don't have a lot of money, so why should I prepare anything for them?" Ye Ziyu said.

"But they don't think so. However, this time, Mom interrupted Dad's preaching." Ye Quanyong said.

"Yes, yes, and when Ayu and I went to see the old lady today, my mother even talked back to me."

"Tell me quickly, what happened? Why did mother talk back to her?" Ye Jiaxuan looked gossipy.

Ye Qingyin briefly told what happened at the old lady's place.

"I thought her table manners were not good, but I didn't expect her table manners to be so ugly. She's not even engaged or married yet, but she's already asking for gifts, and she's letting you two juniors send them off." Ye Jiaxuan said with disgust.

"Maybe mother felt that the old lady had gone too far this time, so she talked back." Ye Ziyu said.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. It would be best if mother could see through the old lady's true face herself and stop enduring in silence." Ye Qingyin said.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy. I'll go back and rest first. Sister, brother, and second brother, you should also go to bed early. Good night." Ye Ziyu bowed slightly, then took Lixia back to rest.

After waking up the next day, Ye Ziyu dressed up and went to find Liu Zhizhi. Originally, Ye Ziyu asked Ye Qingyin if she wanted to go with her, but Ye Qingyin said she had to go to Guangfo Temple to get a memorial tablet.

"Zhizhi."

"Ayu, you're here."

The two met at Ye Ziyu's pastry shop.

"Hello, Sister Ayu."

"Erya." Ye Ziyu touched Erya's head, "This is a gift for you."

"Thank you, Sister Ayu." Erya took the gift.

"Miss, you are really generous and you even bring things for Erya." Chunniang brought out the freshly made pastries and placed them in the cupboard.

"This is for you." Ye Ziyu placed it next to Chun Niang.

"Me too?" Chunniang didn't expect that she had it too.

"Yes, all of them. If you follow me, you will get great benefits." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"Thank you, miss."

"Why do they all have it but I don't?" Liu Zhizhi joked.

"How could I forget yours, here." Ye Ziyu took out the box and handed it to Liu Zhizhi.

"I knew you wouldn't forget me." Liu Zhizhi opened the box, "Wow, this pearl hairpin is so beautiful."

"Right, when I saw this pearl hairpin, I thought of you. You don't like flashy jewelry, and too plain ones don't suit you. This one is just right."

"Thank you, Ayu. You have good taste."

"Ahem." Ye Ziyu cleared her throat. "How can you be as good as me? You took a fancy to my second brother and took him down."

"No way, there's no such thing as taking it or not." Liu Zhizhi said shyly.

"But before I left, I saw that you were all hesitant and dragging your feet. I thought this would take a long time, so how come you got engaged so quickly?"

"In fact, it should be considered as a relief for me, so we got engaged."

"Rescue? Did something happen at your house?"

"My father gradually gained the trust of the emperor, and more and more people came to make friends with him. My father didn't want to get involved in these things, and gradually those people set their sights on me, and several families came directly to propose marriage to me."

"At first my mom and dad both refused, saying they wanted to keep me for a few more years, but they couldn't stand those people coming to their house all day long, so my mom and dad wanted to arrange a marriage between me and someone from my mom's hometown."

"Just someone?"

"Ah."

"After Jiaxuan found out, he came to me and asked me about my feelings. The next day after I told him, Mrs. Ye came to propose marriage, and the matter was settled like that." Liu Zhizhi said.

"So that's how it is. I was worried about my second brother being so taciturn and not saying anything for a long time. I kept worrying about him for a long time and was planning to find an opportunity to bring you two together when I came back this time. I didn't expect that you would succeed on your own." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Have you set a wedding date?"

"Not yet. My parents said there's no rush, so the specific time has not been discussed."

"Oh, it's okay. We can't run away now that we've been engaged."

"By the way, this is the shop's account book for this month. Take a look." Liu Zhizhi handed the account book to Ye Ziyu.

"Isn't the shopkeeper responsible for the account book? By the way, where is the shopkeeper?"

"The shopkeeper said he had something to do at home and hasn't come for a while, but I made a record according to the way the shopkeeper taught me before. Take a look, I have kept all the bills and everything."

"Let me see." Ye Ziyu took the things. It wasn't that Ye Ziyu didn't trust Liu Zhizhi, but this was a partnership after all, so the accounts had to be clearer.

Ye Ziyu turned over the account and checked it carefully. "Generally speaking, there are no mistakes. There are just a few small details that need to be modified. Take a look."

Ye Ziyu spread the account book in front of Liu Zhizhi and pointed at a few places, "The records in these places are not like this, they should be changed to this."

"That's it, I understand."

"Now that you know how to keep accounts, you can help your second brother run the shop in the future." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

“I don’t know much yet.”

"It's okay, just learn slowly."

"Boss, please give me some pastries." The two were chatting when a customer arrived.

"What would you like, sir?" Chunniang took out the package.

"This, this, and this."

"Okay." Chunniang wrapped the things and handed them to the man, "Sir, take them."

"The way those people are dressed..." Liu Zhizhi looked at the man.

Ye Ziyu turned her head and looked over. "Isn't this what people in Liangzhou wear?"

"Liangzhou?"

"Well, my sister's hometown is Zhu County, which is close to Liangzhou. I have seen people dressed like this in the market before, and they told me that people dressed like this are from Liangzhou."

"Why would someone from Liangzhou come to the capital?"

"It's not surprising. Didn't Liangzhou already belong to our country? Maybe there are some business dealings."

Liu Zhizhi thought about it and it made sense.

"Okay, I still have to go to Nishangfang to take a look, so I'll leave first." Ye Ziyu stood up.

"it is good."

"Did you buy this dress from you?" asked a maid next to the woman, holding a drawing.

"Yes." Xiaohua took the drawing and looked at it.

"Please make one for my young lady as well." said the maid.

"I'm sorry, these clothes are all custom-made. We sell the ownership of the sample drawings directly to the buyers, so we can't do that," Xiaohua explained.

"Other families' clothes are also custom-made. Why can't you make one based on the same pattern?" The maid looked down on him.

"Since you said other companies can do it, then you can just go there." Ye Ziyu happened to hear this conversation when she arrived.

"Who are you? We are talking about our business, what does it have to do with you?"

Ye Ziyu took a glance.

"Miss." Xiaohua saw Ye Ziyu coming and came out from behind the stage.

Ye Ziyu looked at Xiaohua and smiled.

"What's wrong with you?" the maid said again.

"If you are here to shop, I welcome you. If you are here to cause trouble, I'm sorry, please go away." Ye Ziyu said coldly.

"May I know who this lady is?" the woman opposite asked.

"This is our host." Xiaohua replied.

"We are being presumptuous. It's just that I really like that dress, so I wanted to customize one, and my maid was a little anxious." The woman opposite said gently.

"What's the point of wearing a style that has been worn by others? If you want to customize it, you can wait for next month's style. We release a new style every month." Seeing the woman opposite her talking, Ye Ziyu also had a good attitude.

"A month? So long." The maid blurted out.

"If you can't wait, you can go to other houses." Ye Ziyu smiled.

“I wonder how I can customize it after a month?”

"Take a brand, and after a month the price will be set, and the highest bidder wins."

"It's just a piece of clothing. Whoever offers the highest price gets it?" asked the maid.

"Again, if you feel it's not suitable, you can go somewhere else."

"you……"

"Xiaobai, stop talking." The woman scolded, and the little maidservant shut up reluctantly.

"Then please give me a sign."

Ye Ziyu nodded, and Xiaohua took out a sign and said, "Miss, please leave your message. Someone will come to inform you one day before the new model comes out."

After writing down the message, the woman took the sign, greeted Ye Ziyu politely, and left.

Ye Ziyu glanced at the registrant, "Yuan Mansion..."
