Chapter 15 The Maid
"I heard that there is a maid named Sophie in your room?" Unexpectedly, when Min Yue came to the Ye family yard early the next morning, he took Ye Tao to greet the princess, the first sentence Princess Zhaohua said to Ye Tao was actually this problem.
"That's right, he was so cute in the golden house at a young age. He knew about this in half of Yicheng." Before Ye Tao could speak, Min Yue responded with fun. Peng Detian, who had been waiting in Xunfeng Pavilion for a while, lowered his head, as if he was hiding his smirking expression.
"Report to Your Highness, there is indeed a maid named Sophie... But it can't be said to be a hiding girl in the golden house, right?" Ye Tao glanced at Min Yue, who was gloating, and said, "It's too much to say half of Yicheng, right?"
Peng Detian was so angry that he took a sip of tea and said, "But it's just. This is what happened..."
"Mr. Peng!" As Peng Detian was about to expose his old secrets, Ye Tao didn't care about the politeness. If the current scene was not suitable, he might have jumped up and covered Peng Detian's mouth. Min Yue grabbed Ye Tao and said, "Just talk. You can't tell me that you have such a beautiful maid? In Yicheng, this is also a good story."
Peng Detian nodded repeatedly and said, "Indeed, this is the case..."
Two years ago, Hu merchant Muhammad, who had been traveling to Yicheng to Nanyang, prepared gifts in Yicheng and was preparing to return home to celebrate the king's 50th birthday. Usually, outstanding contributors of the gifts will get a chance to make a wish, and as long as they are not too excessive, the king will agree. This is also a local tradition. The gifts received by the king are very precious and will not suffer any loss. At that time, Muhammad got a huge piece of white mutton fat, which was more than one person tall, so Muhammad moved to carve the white jade.
The idea of becoming a beautiful portrait. But the matter was hasty, and the carving style of the Dongping craftsmen was far from that of the Hu people. The things that came out might not be liked by the king. To the west of the country to which Muhammad belonged, there were sculptors who advocated realistic style. However, the journey of the sea was too far away, and it would be too late to make such a breakthrough. Muhammad knew that Ye Tao, who was 12 years old at that time, had a vague reputation as the first carving worker in Yicheng. In addition, he had previously purchased real estate in Yicheng and had many contacts with the Ye family workshop, so he found Ye Tao and asked him to help.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Muhammad's concerns, Ye Tao said disrespectfully: "It's just to be exactly the same as the real person? What's the difficulty?" Ye Tao quickly used a few wooden blocks to make a small example of a standing statue of a girl wearing a veil holding a water bottle. Muhammad was surprised and immediately made a decision to let Ye Tao take charge of the statue.
Ye Tao was a little happy to see such good materials, while Mohamed felt that his future was bright because he met a sculptor like Ye Tao. Both sides did not negotiate the compensation in advance.
Less than a month, Ye Tao handed over a beautiful statue of a girl to Muhammad. The gauze on the statue seemed to be floating in the air, and every fold was so real. The girl was lifelike and happy with a picture. The bun and hanging hair were visible one by one. The posture of holding the huge Aquarius slightly sideways depicted the girl's slim figure to the fullest. According to Eastern ethics, this girl dressed very coolly was inevitably said to be depressed by Taoist gentlemen.
But in the situation of the Hu people, and even in countries of all sizes, this was just a little thinner than normal clothes. Putting the statue in the hall and passing by a day as the sunlight turned around in all directions, Muhammad and his followers looked at the statue foolishly for a day. The statue that seemed to have really taken steps at any time turned into a real person. His beautiful face and figure made Muhammad feel that he was really reluctant to give it to the statue as a gift.
After being excited, he remembered that he had not paid the reward. Even though the Hu people were always generous with work pay, Muhammad couldn't think of what kind of reward was worthy of Ye Tao's magical skills and worthy of the statue of this girl. In the end, Muhammad actually gave Ye Tao a group of dancers who had not grown up who had been trained a few years ago, a total of 12 people, as rewards. Among these dancers were Franks, Greeks, Persians, Lombards, Romans, Babylonians, Persians, and mixed-race children born to Hu people who came to the East in the early years and local women. Each of them was beautiful in appearance. The dance and rhythm for several consecutive years
Training with languages and characters in various countries makes these dancers not just vases. Dancers and the like are not just dances. In the Hu people's land, dancers who are attracted by guests often have to sleep. Muhammad, who knows this, naturally will not miss this training. Although these dancers are still virgins, they have been applying sesame oil every day since they were 10 years old. When they are in a strong mood, the heat of their bodies will stimulate the fragrance. Mixing the body fragrance of girls is more effective than any aphrodisiac. And these dancers, although the oldest is 16 years old and the youngest is 11 years old, have seen real men and women perform various intercourses in front of them, and are not shy about men and women.
Such "reward" also caused panic at that time. Ye Tao was worried about it. However, Muhammad had already set sail to return to China, but the reward could not be refunded. After more than half a year, he would return the reward to him. Ye Tao felt unbearable. So, after learning Chinese for a while, the dancers gathered to study Chinese for a while, they asked them to find a way out in the framework of Ye's family. Two older men, or who had good Chinese, were sent to IKEA Home Furnishings and Yi Zhan Buildings to be clerks. It really caused a sensation back then. People in Yicheng made a special trip to see the beauty, but in order to leave an impression in front of the beauty, there were many young people who were foolishly buying a lot of things that they couldn't use. The mixed-race boy who had encountered the princess and the maid in the Yi Zhan shop was also one of them.
Ye Tao gave these dancers complete freedom and respect. They lived together in a separate courtyard. Those who were willing to work in a few shops could go, and those who didn't want to go could also choose some things within their ability in various institutions of Ye's family. The youngest Roman girl at that time was now the only female student in Ye's workshop, and she was also a good at drawing patterns and designing pottery and porcelain. The oldest Persian girl at that time married Ye Tao's senior brother. Now every time Ye Tao saw her, she would respectfully call her "sister-in-law". Because of Ye Tao, these dancers got rid of the tragic fate of being sent as items.
But among these dancers, there is only one who has been learning all kinds of knowledge and is unwilling to work, and just wants to follow Ye Tao. Ye Tao actually left this dancer as his maid. Almost all the maids of wealthy families live in the same room with the master of their service, and even sleep in the same bed before the master has a wife. Another responsibility of this type of maid is to let his master complete the transformation from a boy to a man on himself.
Min Yue's eyes were quite poisonous, and it was naturally obvious that Ye Tao had not yet touched the stunning beauty named Sophie. Sophie, whose figure was gradually growing, was more attractive almost every month than the previous month. Min Yue couldn't help but maliciously guess that Ye Tao was preparing to pick this beautiful flower when it was the most perfect.
But although he knew this, I'm afraid many people knew this, but saying that Ye Tao "hidden beauty in the golden house" and saying that half of Yicheng knows it, it's not an exaggeration.
Peng Detian was ups and downs and roughly explained the process in an extremely playful tone, which really made Ye Tao a little embarrassed. However, being teased by two real-time figures in Yicheng, the venue was not so easy to get back. For a moment, Ye Tao could only look at Peng Detian and Min Yue viciously, as if he was angry.
"That's something interesting," the princess said with a smile, "Sophie... is a good name. Sophie is really as beautiful as you said?"
"Reporting to the princess, the appearance of those dancers is all for a while, and Sophie saw that it was just ordinary and not outstanding, but after the past two years, the charmingness of his appearance is simply impossible to look at. Ye Tao's eyesight for choosing beauties back then, in the eyes of Bei Zhi, was more amazing than his carpentry work." Ignoring Ye Tao's already a little blue face, Min Yue slightly damaged Ye Tao.
The princess has always been so calm and pleasant. These anecdotes just add a smile to the corner of her lips. But Sisi and Qiao'er both covered their mouths and smiled happily.
"Mr. Ye, is this Sophie's name the original name of your maid?" asked the princess.
"No, I'm giving it a name." Although Ye Tao felt a little embarrassed to be involved in this matter, he had to find a way to get through it.
The princess's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh? Why is she named such a name?"
Ye Tao sighed in his heart and said, "Report to His Highness the Princess, there are some books brought by the Hu people in his house. One of them describes a beautiful Western woman, which is not less than a thousand words. At that time, I saw that the maid was also from Frank. Rong Zi and the beautiful woman described in the book were quite similar to the beautiful woman in Marceau, so I simply named it." Ye Tao said in his heart, now you understand, I guess you must go and read it back...
Sophie Marceau... The princess' eyes were brighter, but she didn't expect that there would be such interesting things. She didn't believe that there was really any Sophie Marceau described in Western books. It was obviously Ye Tao's nonsense. Time travel can indeed satisfy a person's diverse possibilities. He made up his mind to go and see that Sophie Marceau, but the princess changed the topic. "It's getting late. How about we go to Ye's workshop now?"
