Marriage of the Di Daughter

“It was also a random thought.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “I don’t understand anything about fabric making, just a sudden inspiration. If I speak wrongly, don’t laugh at me. There is tiny phosphorescence on the peacock feather. I once saw an unusual record about fairies roaming around some immortal island in the sea. The clothes they wore have tiny phosphorescence like ripples, yet it wasn’t golden or silver thread embroidered on them, but it was more like pearls. The color was bright but not tacky. I wonder, since the ancient fragrant satin can have its own fragrance, whether or not the peacock feather could also produce gleaming fabrics like the one written in the unusual record. Of course it’s not necessary to use the peacock feather, as long as the raw materials used can produce the same brilliance as the peacock feather.”

“Moreover, with the written note from the unusual record placed on the nobles in Yanjing, it will get the liking from female family members. Although ancient fragrant satin can no longer be produced, the Ye family’s signboard still exists. A new and more attractive fabric than the ancient fragrant satin might slowly create new business.”

Jiang Li spoke unhurriedly, seemingly very confident in her speech. In fact, only she herself knew that she was actually not so clear whether this thing can be done. There were specializations in industries, which could be said as painstaking labor. But under the heavens, many things could only be understood by analogy. If these things were done well by people, then the things produced would not be bad. Either engaging in business or study, neither was useless.

Her idea was obviously surprising. There’s silence for an unknown period of time before Ye Ming Hui abruptly stood up. He said to Ye Ming Yu, “Go and bring the peacock feather over for me to see. Tomorrow we will go to the weaving hall.”

Ye Ming Yu was stunned. Before he came out of his daze, he saw Ye Ming Xuan also moved and said: “I think this is a good idea, also not necessarily something that cannot be done. First go to the weaving hall and examine whether this can be achieved. If it’s possible….. If it’s possible…..” He paused, seemingly suppressing his uncontainable happiness and could only say half of the sentence. “I’m afraid our Ye family is going to usher in a new flourishing scenery.”

Ye Jia Er and Ye Rufeng heard this and eagerly looked forward to it. They looked peculiarly at Jiang Li.

She seemed to know everything, also always able to open up a new road in desperation, leading everyone to walk towards a new direction. She was forever full of hope, making people feel at ease.

Jiang Li felt the gazes of gratitude from the Ye family and smiled slightly.

She did what she could.

Next, there’s still one more thing, but it’s not something that she could accomplish by effort alone.

……

Ye Ming Yu brought everyone to see that peacock feather, but Jiang Li did not follow.

She first went to see old madam Ye and chatted. Old madam Ye’s spirit was very good the past couple of days. Also, after hearing that Jiang Li proposed producing a new fabric using the peacock feather, she praised Jiang Li’s clever and wonderful thought. Jiang Li stayed with her for a while, the grandmother and granddaughter got along harmoniously and became closer.

When old madam Ye got tired and lay down to rest, Jiang Li went out from the old madam Ye’s courtyard. She did not return to her own courtyard, instead she walked towards the outside.

Tong’er asked: “Miss, are you planning to go out?”

Jiang Li nodded: “Go and walk around, the weather is nice today.”

Tong’er and Bai Xue hesitated but soon nodded in response. The Ye family was different from the Jiang family. The gatekeeper of the Jiang family would inquire where Jiang Li was going. Ji Shuran’s people would also watch her every move in the dark. But in the Xiangyang’s Ye family, Jiang Li had absolute freedom. No one would pry into where she was going, what she was doing, at least in the Ye family, no one would do so. Therefore, relatively speaking, it was also convenient for Jiang Li’s own planning.

The three people, Jiang Li, Tong’er and Bai Xue, first directly walked to the center of Xiangyang city. Since people knew her identity as Jiand second miss, Jiang Li also put on a veil. Tong’er and Bai Xue felt it was and bought a few gadgets. Jiang Li looked around but did not find anything interesting.

These were things she had seen many times before, not something she just saw for the first time. Naturally she did not have the feeling of ty.

Unconsciously, didn’t know how long they’d walked, Tong’er faintly felt that the road Jiang Li walked to was somewhat familiar, yet she couldn’t figure out where she had seen it. However, she’s used to Jiang Li recognizing the road accurately and never took the wrong way. Especially in Xiangyang, she was very familiar as if she had been there many times, thus Tong’er and Bai Xue did not think much about it.

Until Jiang Li stopped in front of a mansion.

Tong’er looked at the familiar residence in front of her and her voice trembled as she said: “Miss, this is Xi, Xi…..”

“Xi Hua Lou.” Jiang Li thoughtfully reminded her.

“Xi Hua Lou!” Tong’er abruptly said it out, following which she immediately clamped her mouth, afraid that people would see. In a low voice, she said to Jiang Li: “Miss, why do we come here again?”

After coming back from Xi Hua Lou last time, Tong’er was anxious and afraid for several days. She was afraid that other people had noticed that Jiang Li, an official daughter, had visited the brothel. That period of time had just passed not long ago, but now the nightmare reappeared. Jiang Li came again!

Is it true that her young lady really fancy a girl inside? It’s better for her young lady to just turn around in the mirror ah. Also heard there’s a small child, is there a small child in the brothel?

Tong’er’s mind was imagining wild things when she heard Jiang Li say: “The two of you don’t have to go up, just wait for me here. I will come back soon.”

Before Tong’er and Bai Xue could dissuade her, Jiang Li had moved forwards without turning her head back. They recalled that this was Xi Hua Lou’s “door”.

Jiang Li walked step by step very firmly.

A few days had passed, for the time being, she had solved the Ye family’s matter. But her true purpose of coming to Xiangyang had just begun.

She didn’t know how Qiong Zhi’s inquiries about Tongxiang were at her end?
