Although Si Ya didn't know the goods, she also knew that this bracelet was a good thing, and she would never have dared to accept it if she had left it alone in the past.
But since her sister asked her to accept it, she didn't want to be stingy. She blushed and thanked her, calling her Sister Chu - it can be seen that the relationship between her sister and Sister Chu is very good, otherwise she would not have given her such a precious move.
meeting gift.
Chu Ningyan asked Si Ya's name again, and Ye Zhenzhen answered: "The overlapping character Peng is taken from the poem 'Peng Peng and his wheat, and I walk in the wild' in The Book of Songs. The lush vegetation is the sustenance of good health."
Starting from Ye Zhenzhen, the names of the girls in the Ye family were all taken from the Book of Songs. After Erya was named Ye Jiajia, Aunt Ye asked Ye Zhenzhen to name Fourth Ya. She chose Pengpeng
It's just that everyone is used to it, and they haven't changed it. Now that she has reached the age of going out to socialize, it's time for her to call her by her first name.
Chu Ningyan nodded and praised Ye Zhenzhen for getting the name well, but she praised Ye Zhenzhen so much that her tail was raised. She pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Chu Ningyan: "I can't let you take advantage of being a sister in vain. The fourth sister is rare.
When I came to the capital, I originally wanted to take her out to play. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed as pregnant just after she arrived. I could only let her stay at home, which was almost suffocating. Since you have become a sister, go out and play.
Don't leave her behind."
Siya, no, Pengpeng's temperament is a bit boring. It's not good to have little social interaction in Linxi County on weekdays. Now that she has come to the capital, she must broaden her horizons so that she won't be bullied because of her limited knowledge in the future.
Chu Ningyan is a popular person in Beijing's social circle. People she brings out will always give her some respect. Coupled with Ye Zhenzhen's good popularity under her long-term management, Pengpeng, as her younger sister, will always be given some respect.
Face-saving.
It was just taking people out to socialize. Chu Ningyan was not afraid at all, and her attitude was very positive: "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. I think the fourth sister is very lucky. You will have it as soon as she comes."
If she gets pregnant, if I spend more time with her, I might be able to get pregnant."
Ye Zhenzhen had a dark look on her face and said angrily: "It's your husband who can make you pregnant, not my sister. You can't mess around."
Ye Pengpeng's face turned red with embarrassment due to the dirty talk between married women. Ye Zhenzhen coughed slightly in embarrassment, realizing that these words were a bit harsh for a girl who had not yet left the court in ancient times. She couldn't help but touch her nose angrily and began to shift.
topic.
"Fourth sister, your sister Chu is the best at playing, so just go along and have fun. I've already had your clothes and headdress prepared, and they should be delivered to your house today. You don't have to worry about showing off your timidity. My sister is here to take care of everything."
Ye Pengpeng was touched and uneasy at the same time. She was moved by her sister to make plans for her, but she was also afraid that she would be short-sighted and lose her sister's face when she went out to socialize. She was extremely torn for a while.
The girl's thoughts were easy to guess, and her innocence was written all over her face. Both Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan found it funny.
Chu Ningyan comforted her: "Don't worry, the social circle in the capital is not a dragon's den, everyone is very harmonious. No matter how bad things are, you have to believe in your sister's ability. The women's club she opened is even praised by Her Majesty the Queen.
It’s true, the ladies in the capital flock to you, and it’s even difficult to make an appointment. Naturally, they won’t laugh at you because they don’t know your taste. On the contrary, they are more willing to deal with you, so that they can take advantage of you and get a VIP seat from your sister.”
Ye Pengpeng heard about this for the first time, and she immediately looked at her sister with surprise and reverence. In her opinion, being able to be a handkerchief with the young lady of the Lisi Qing family was already very impressive. She didn't expect that her sister would actually do it.
In the eyes of the Emperor and the Queen, this was something she could not even imagine.
Ye Zhenzhen enjoyed her sister's adoring eyes very much. In her previous life, she was the youngest in the family and was always pampered. She really hoped that her mother would give birth to a younger brother or sister to be her little tail. Who knows, she has never been able to do so, and now she finally gets her long-cherished wish.
, my heart was already dancing the tango with joy.
She smiled very reservedly: "Sister, I do have two women's clubs. One of them was just opened for women's beauty and beauty care. The effect is not bad. They are our own businesses. Whenever you have some leisure time, you can go and take care of yourself.
If you have any new little sisters, you can also bring them over."
Although it was difficult to get an appointment at the Guose Women's Club, Ye Zhenzhen still reserved a fixed place for her family and a few close friends. As long as they wanted to go, they could always enjoy the service.
Chu Ningyan is one of them. Because of this permanent position, she is more popular in the capital than before. If she is happy, she can invite her friends to the club for beauty treatments, and everyone can take advantage of it and enjoy it.
The beauty service was praised highly by both the Queen and Princess Wei.
Ye Zhenzhen had been prepared to be followed before. Unexpectedly, it had been almost two months and she hadn't even seen her. She told Cui Weizhen about her doubts, but she was laughed at again - by
Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world to follow the trend of a club recognized by the queen?
This shows the cultural differences between modern and ancient times. If it were left to future generations, no one would miss such a business opportunity to make a fortune. As long as it is driven by trends, a bunch of followers will surely spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
Marx said in "Das Kapital": When profits reach 10%, they will be ready to take action; when profits reach 50%, they will take desperate risks; when profits reach 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world;
When profits reached 300%, they dared to risk hanging.
It was different in ancient times. The imperial power was greater than the sky, and the status of merchants was the lowest. It would be useless without some ceremonial guards behind them. Especially in the capital city where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, it was even more difficult to do business. What about a shop without the support of intricate relationships?
Therefore, businessmen were not pure and had the most worries. Those people did not dare to commit taboos because of their pursuit of profit. This small amount of profit was not worth the risk of being impeached by the censor. This was why the Ye Zhenzhen family was dominated by the family.
As a future generation, Ye Zhenzhen still has to learn the wisdom and rules of ancient survival.
Of course, these are all digressions. With the guarantees of Ye Zhenzhen and Chu Ningyan, Ye Pengpeng finally overcame the timidity in his heart and agreed. It happened that Chu Ningyan would have a banquet tomorrow, which was all about getting close to others, so she brought Ye Pengpeng with her.
There is nothing better than showing your face.
After Chu Ningyan returned, Aunt Cui learned that Ye Pengpeng was going to a banquet tomorrow, so she took a set of pearls and noodle from her dowry and sent it as a support. As a dowry for the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, the set of pearls and noodle must be extraordinary. Aunt Ye
After learning about it, Ye Pengpeng did not dare to accept it and quickly declined, but was suppressed by Aunt Cui. In the end, she could only accept it with fear.
Just as her mother-in-law said, when Pengpeng goes out to socialize, she represents Zhenzhen's face, but she cannot show her timidity in front of others. When outsiders see this appearance, they can also realize that the Cui family attaches great importance to her, and they dare not despise her.
Although it is ironic to say that you should respect your clothes before others, to a large extent, a person's clothing is also a symbol of his or her status. This is an unspoken and unspoken rule in upper-class society.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
