Chapter 316: 316 is inconvenient to go out Chapter 316: 316 is inconvenient to go out “Master, Fengyang City is right ahead,” Si Rong reminded.
It had not been easy to come back. Would it not be ungrateful not to revisit, considering her careful planning for him?
“Now that we are here, let’s go have a look. It has been a long time since I came back, and I’m sure my mother has missed me very much.” A cold light gathered in Sikong Mo’s eyes as he spoke, and he spurred his horse to quicken the pace.
Si Rong was expressionless.
She would probably rather the Prince died sooner so that she could bring that sickly member of the Rong Family into her residence earlier!
The main street of Fengyang City was a display of opulence.
Ye Jiu, accompanied by a few men borrowed from Lu Biaotou, led two horse-drawn carriages forward.
Ye Wenzheng hurried from behind and caught up to Ye Jiu, “Little aunt, I’ve found out that this is the main street of Fengyang City, where all the reputable and well-known figures of the city reside.”
“Then let’s set up here,” Ye Jiu decided. “Park the carriages on the roadside, don’t block the way. Be careful when you take out the furs, don’t damage them.”
With Ye Jiu’s arrangements, a lively scene emerged on the main street of Fengyang City.
Two carriages were parked by the roadside, and between two trees a long rope was strung, from which hung various types of precious furs, guarded by several strong men, which drew noticeable attention.
Ye Jiu had specifically borrowed a few men from Lu Biaotou to guard the area, for without them just her, a young girl, along with Ye Wenzheng, a frail young man, it would not only be impossible to sell goods, but they might also be robbed by those tempted by the sight of wealth.
The furs, either fiery red or pure white in fox pelts, or the two to three meters long white and yellow tiger skins, each piece was breathtaking and irresistible.
The passing maids and servants all ran back to their residences to report. Such fine furs were rare, and by bringing good news, they might even receive a reward from their masters.
If someone else got there first, then they would miss out on the opportunity.
Soon, a well-dressed steward from the nearest household approached quickly, “Merchants, where is your principal? My lady asked you to bring the goods inside for the young ladies to choose from.”
Ye Wenzheng looked surprised, “Steward, all our goods are out here. If you wish to buy, please come and choose yourselves. We are not making house calls.”
Taking the goods inside could lead to them being swindled, receiving the goods without payment, which would mean a loss of both money and goods with nowhere to seek justice.
After all, Ye Jiu had just priced these furs; each was priced differently according to size, quality, and type. Ye Wenzheng felt he was guarding assets worth about a hundred thousand taels of silver, which made him more than cautious–it felt nerve-wracking just looking at them.
Ye Jiu, however, was not as overly cautious as Ye Wenzheng. From what she had seen in television shows in her previous life, she knew that people from large households never went out for shopping; they always had items brought to them. Thus this situation was not unexpected.
Touching Ye Wenzheng’s arm, Ye Jiu said, “The lady finds it inconvenient to go out; just take a couple of people and a few good pieces to show her ladyship.”
Since Ye Jiu had said so, even though Ye Wenzheng was still worried, he did as she had instructed.
The steward curiously glanced at Ye Jiu.
The world is indeed full of wonders.
It was surprising; this merchant’s principal turned out to be a somewhat ugly young master!
