Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 94 Part 4: Brothel

Chapter 94 Part 4: Brothel


The young lady of the Ye family had started to learn business since young. Ye Shijie took the path of officialdom. Such a big family business, couldn’t always count on only one generation to manage. The remaining grandchildren of the Ye family were only Ye Ru Feng and Ye Jia Er. However, from what the servant girls in the Ye residence said, Ye Ru Feng, probably to his young age, was somewhat impetuous, his way of handling things wasn’t as appropriate as Ye Jia Er. At present, the Ye family started to let Ye Jia Er take care of some of the businesses in Li Zheng Tang.


The two people looked at each other before looking at Ye Jia Er and said: “Indeed, there’s something. Since your father and the others are not here, we’ll talk to you first, Jia Er.”


When they talked to Ye Jia Er, they did not pay attention to Jiang Li. Perhaps they thought Jiang Li was a good friend of Jia Er, an insignificant person. However, Jiang Li took note that these two people’s tone of speaking wasn’t light, seemingly they’d run into a problem.


Ye Jia Er nodded and said: “Okay.” Then she smiled apologetically at Jiang Li and said: “Younger cousin, I’m going to chat with uncle Zhuang and uncle Zhao, please wait for a bit…..”


“No matter.” Jiang Li interrupted her gently, “just chat without any worries. Originally, today I was about to stroll around anyway, it’s already a nice surprise to see Li Zheng Tang. In a while I’m going to stroll around with Tong’er and Bai Xue, won’t walk very far, it will be fine.”


“You are by yourself…….”


“It’s okay,” Jiang Li said: “the city defense guards are everywhere, I’m not afraid.”


Seeing Jiang Li insisting, it’s not good for Ye Jia Er to say anything further. Moreover, it’s unknown how long this chat was going to take. Asking Jiang Li to wait outside by herself would also be weird and boring. Thus she nodded at Jiang Li and followed the two people to go inside and have a discussion. Jiang Li immediately took her leave from shopkeeper Qian and took Tong’er and Bai Xue away.


On the way, Tong’er asked: “Miss, why didn’t you wait for miss cousin to come out? We haven’t yet seen that antique fragrant satin?”


Jiang Li teased her: “It’s not as if you haven’t seen antique fragrant satin in Yanjing, why does it seem as if it’s your first time seeing it? Aren’t you embarra.s.sed, what does the antique fragrant satin look like, all forgotten already?”


“But the antique fragrant satin in Yanjing is imported, perhaps the Ye family’s antique fragrant satin is even more unusual.” Tong’er grieved. She also pulled Bai Xue and said: “Besides, although I have seen antique fragrant satin, Bai Xue hasn’t seen it yet, right Bai Xue?”


Bai Xue replied to her seriously: “I’ve seen it, the last time miss entered the palace and was awarded by His Majesty, on the second day, old madam sent many clothing materials. There is antique fragrant satin among them and you still let me touch it.”


Tong’er: “…….”


Jiang Li broke into laughter: “Okay, I have my own things to do, which is more important compared with antique fragrant satin, okay?!” In fact, she really wanted to stay in Li Zheng Tang. Those two people called “uncle Zhuang” and “uncle Zhao” seemed to have something important to consult with Ye Jia Er. In addition, shopkeeper Qian’s stammering and not taking out the antique fragrant satin seemed to have other reasons. Jiang Li reckoned it had something to do with what Tong’er mentioned before, about “the Ye family’s small troubles”. She also thought of asking about the matter, but on second thought, even if she inquired, Ye Jia Er might not necessarily be willing to say.


This young lady of the Ye family’s age was still young, but her conduct was already very orderly. Truly an honest and sincere person. However, she was not without brains, probably she would be even more cautious when dealing with the Ye family’s business.


Since staying in Li Zheng Tang would not gain anything, it’s better to leave. What’s more, what was to be known would always be known, it’s not worthwhile to be in a hurry. At this moment, she still had an even more important thing to do.


“Miss, where are we going now? Don’t walk too far, it’s the first time you return to Xiangyang. If we got lost later, we would not know how to go back. We didn’t take the carriage when we went out just now.”


Xiangyang was not like Yanjing. When the n.o.ble ladies in Yanjing went out, they would definitely ride on a carriage. But in Xiangyang, whether to ride a carriage or not depended entirely on what one preferred. It’s a normal thing for the young ladies to go shopping on the streets, the customs could be said as simple and honest. Even though it would be ridiculed in Yanjing, over here, Jiang Li was still very fond of this feeling.


Very much unrestricted.


“Doesn’t matter.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “We’ll just roam around as we wish following this strip of road.”


Tong’er had no doubt but Bai Xue felt something was amiss. Although the mouth said to simply walk around as they wished, Jiang Li’s steps were clearly very resolute, as if she had determined where she was going. Furthermore, Bai Xue sensed that Jiang Li seemed to be very familiar with Xiangyang. Just like their farmhouse looking after their crops, knowing where to plant grain and where to plant fruits, and wouldn’t be confused.


However, Tong’er had said that this was the first time Jiang Li returned to Xiangyang. Others said the same thing too. Therefore, she had probably thought wrongly. Bai Xue shook her head and flung the strange feeling she had in her mind away.


But soon, the intuition she had was verified.


After walking for a while, Jiang Li stopped walking.


“Miss?” Tong’er also stopped and thought that Jiang Li got tired from walking. She hurriedly said: “Are you tired? This servant will help you to take a break.”


“No need,” Jiang Li said: “let’s go in.”
