Chapter 147 Let’s go shopping
Lian Ming and several other guards of King Jin had fought with Jiang Sheng and others before, so when they wanted to go in with the wedding crowd, they were recognized and stopped outside the door by Jiang Sheng and others. As they were not as skilled as others, they could only stand in front of the door and watch the fun helplessly.
Xia Weiwei arrived at Yang Biao's house and saw Lian Ming and others standing at the door. She was afraid of being discovered, so she hurriedly returned to the carriage.
"Miss, let's go in through the back door." In order to avoid being discovered by Prince Jin's men and causing trouble, Xia Weiwei followed Pan Cao in a carriage and entered through the back door. Then she changed her headdress with Pang Ya in the house. She couldn't wear Pang Ya's dress, so the one she was wearing was the one Jin Rong had brought from the Xia Mansion and put in her dowry box.
"Yang Biao, it's really not easy for us." Xia Weiwei leaned over and observed his eyebrows carefully. She couldn't help but reach out to touch his eyebrows and stroke his face repeatedly.
She took off all the jewelry on her head, took off her wedding dress, washed up, covered Yang Biao with a quilt, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
"Hmm," Yang Biao woke up in the middle of the night and heard a sound on the roof. Was it that the gentleman on the roof knew that there was a happy event in his family and came to visit?
"Thieves, where are you running to?" The sound of Ji Lang and Dong Quan going up to the roof was heard, and soon after, the sound of fierce fighting was heard.
He sat up and saw Xia Weiwei sleeping soundly. He got up and lifted the quilt to go outside to see what was going on. He saw that the bed was still covered with white cloth. At this age, what else could he not understand? After thinking for a while, he picked it up and went into the inner room.
"Hey, what's wrong with your finger?" When Xia Weiwei woke up in the morning and was about to get up, she found that the left index finger of Yang Biao, who was sleeping next to her, was broken.
"Well, this." He took out the white wedding veil, which was already stained with blood.
"Oh," Xia Weiwei's face turned red instantly and she lowered her head shyly. Although she had never experienced this, she still understood what it meant.
"Miss," Hongling heard the young lady's voice outside the house and knocked on the door. She and Jinrong were going to help the young lady wash up.
"Come in." Xia Weiwei sat up quickly, looking at the person on the bed who was still motionless. Didn't he have to go to the academy today? "Do you have anything to do today?"
"No, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Yang Biao spoke lazily. It was still unknown when the results of the college entrance examination would be announced. He had plenty of time and could take her out to play.
"Okay," Xia Weiwei agreed immediately without hesitation.
"You agreed so readily!" Yang Biao said with a smile. He also got up, took his own change of clothes from the closet, went to the inner room to change and came out. "I'll wait for you in the lobby."
"Okay," Xia Weiwei turned around to look at him, but only saw his back. She frowned, "So fast?"
As soon as Xia Weiwei left the room, Lian Ming pried open the window. He walked straight to the bed, lifted the quilt, and found a blood-stained white wedding veil on the bed. He reached out and took it, then escaped through the window.
"Master," Yang Biao was standing on the second floor opposite and watching all this. Ji Lang didn't quite understand his intention of asking him to deliberately let Lian Ming into the bridal chamber.
"Let's go shopping!" This is not a easy thing to say. Yang Biao smiled and patted Ji Lang's shoulder, then turned around to find Xia Weiwei.
"These are the two silk shops I opened. You will be in charge of them from now on." Yang Biao handed the title deeds of the two shops to Xia Weiwei and introduced the shops to her.
"This is Xiangyunsha, dyed with yam juice." Yang Biao asked her to touch the cloth. "Making Xiangyunsha requires applying mud. The reverse side is darker, usually black, and looks shiny black."
The iron in the river mud reacts chemically with the elements in the yam juice to produce black. There is no need to tell her this, because she won't have to make it herself in the future anyway.
"I bought this, but it will fade." Xia Weiwei came close to him and whispered to him that his fabric was not made well and he needed to find a good dyeing master to teach him.
"Yes, it will fade." Yang Biao was amused by her cautiousness. Xiangyunsha is dyed with yam and is a silk fabric with pure plant dyes. "The color of Xiangyunsha fades mainly from the yam paste. If you wash it many times, the fading will be much better in the future."
"This is light and breathable, very comfortable to wear in summer, and is one of the better-selling fabrics in the shop right now."
"Oh," Xia Weiwei touched the Xiangyunsha, which felt very soft.
"Come on, I'll take you to another place." Seeing that she had a good business sense and the questions she asked were all on point, Yang Biao took her to Yuanyang Golden Tower.
"This is Shen Chuan," he excitedly introduced these people from Jinlou to Xia Weiwei, intending to let her manage them.
"Master, this is..." Shen Chuan saw Xia Weiwei, dressed in rich clothes and being led by Yang Biao, and he thought she must have a close relationship with the master.
"Oh, this is my new wife who got married yesterday. She will be in charge of this Jinlou from now on." Yang Biao introduced Xia Weiwei to Shen Chuan with a smile, and he would be much more relaxed in the future.
He remembered someone had told him that Anhetang was Xia Weiwei's family's ancestral property. Now that she was married, it would not be good for her to manage her parents' business. If they wanted her to be busy, they would give her three shops that would earn a lot of money without being tiring.
"Master!" Lian Ming knelt on the ground and presented the white wedding veil with trembling hands.
"Ahhh..." Jin Wangqian looked at the blinding red and felt it was an insult to him, a declaration of war against him. He stabbed the white cloth with his sword frantically, wanting to kill all the humiliation and contempt.
Lian Ming held her hands up and dared not move, allowing him to stab her accidentally several times until the white veil was torn to pieces.
"Yang Biao, I'm going to kill you!" The white veil had been shattered, but Prince Qian of Jin had not yet finished venting his anger and kept yelling towards the sky.
"What?" The people Liu sent to Songbaiyuan came to report the prince's every move. When they heard that Lian Ming had brought the bloody white wedding handkerchief from Yang Biao's house, they couldn't help but feel sad. It's over, it's all over. "My daughter, what a miserable life!"
"Madam, this is inevitable." Seeing Liu's crazy state, Liu Nan'en was scared to death, and hurried to the government office to find Xia Zhaofeng to report the matter. Xia Zhaofeng was afraid that Liu could not accept it and would do something stupid, so he put aside all his affairs and rushed home from the government office to comfort her.
"Yang Biao is not a bad match for our daughter. As you can see, he is handsome and most importantly, he is talented in writing. He is a promising talent. I have personally tested this." Xia Zhaofeng hugged the distraught Liu and patted her back gently.
Liu still didn't react, she just sat there, tears constantly flowing, dripping on Xia Zhaofeng's shoulders and also hurting his heart.
But he still cheered up, "When I retire, I will accompany my wife to travel all over the world and eat all the delicacies in the world. Let me tell you, the snacks in the south of the Yangtze River are delicious...."
"...Do you still remember when we first got married?" Xia Zhaofeng recalled the beauty of his first meeting with Liu. He suddenly felt a palpitation as he hugged her body. The two kissed each other, reliving the beauty of the past.
