Jiang Ran covered her cheek again, shook her head with a smile, and said, "I'm fine."
But in the eyes of everyone, this beautiful girl wearing a pure white pleated skirt looked so pitiful at this moment.
Li Yu took a small step forward, patted his chest and said: "Sister-in-law...ahem, Miss Jiang, don't be afraid, just tell me if you have anything, I will make the decision for you!"
"Yes, sister, look what this tender little face has become, and who did it. Tell your sister, and she will help you get revenge." Yue Shuhua held Jiang Ran's hand, and her words were clear.
To express distress.
Tang Ji stayed there for a moment, until Jiu'er's shouts came from the kitchen. He came back to his senses, sighed, and led Jiang Ran to the master bedroom: "Okay, let's apply ice to reduce swelling first. I'll be busy later.
Say it again."
Jiang Ran didn't resist and let him lead her.
In the room, Tang Ji wrapped ice cubes in a handkerchief and wanted to apply it on her.
"I'll do it myself." Jiang Ran spread his hands towards him.
Tang Ji glanced up and put the handkerchief in her hand.
After Jiang Ran took it, he put the cold handkerchief against his cheek, and groaned in response to the sudden chill, but he also felt that his burning skin had improved.
Soon, Jiu'er rushed in from outside the house, pursed her lips and said angrily: "Miss, who did this, I'll deal with him!"
Tang Ji watched the red marks on her face disappear, stood up, and said, "The food is ready, let's talk while eating."
Today's lunch was very sumptuous, and the long kitchen table was filled with food, but no one sitting around moved their chopsticks, and their eyes were all focused on Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran flipped up his broken hair, not wanting to waste everyone's time anymore. He sighed and roughly explained what happened today.
After a while, everyone roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. The simple summary was that the new oiran of Yuexian Tower felt that Jiang Ran had stolen her limelight, so she deliberately made things difficult for her.
Li Yu picked up a chicken leg from the bowl in front of him and held it in his hand. He waved his hand and said: "A mere Jizi is so arrogant. Don't worry, Miss Jiang. I will send someone to slap her in the face soon."
You relieve your anger."
Jiang Ran quickly shook his head and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It's really no need. Although Luo Qingqing slapped me, I returned it at the time."
Yue Shuhua sat next to her, patted her hand, and said comfortingly: "Why don't you go there in the future? Anyway, my good little brother is so capable, it's not difficult to support you two little girls."
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded hurriedly and added: "Yes, this guy is rich now. He just accepted money from Magistrate Yan."
Jiang Ran secretly looked at Tang Ji, only to find that the other party was also staring at him. He quickly looked away and lowered his head: "No, no need."
You and he are just friends, what's the point of letting him support you, and...
Tang Ji knew that she was still bound by Yuexian Tower's sky-high price contract, so she didn't say much. Anyway, she was on leave for the past two days due to injury, and planned to go to Yuexian Tower with her tomorrow to have a look. Then she thought about it and said, "Why don't you bring the wine with you in the future?"
More protection.”
When there were guests, wine was not served on the table, but with the permission of Li Yu and Yue Shuhua, she sat down next to Jiang Ran. When she heard Tang Ji's words, she nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Ms.
, just let Jiu'er follow you."
After Jiang Ran thought about it for a while, he finally agreed: "Okay!"
Seeing that the matter was discussed, Li Yu pointed to the food on the table and said: "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will be cold!"
Everyone quickly stopped discussing and picked up their bowls and chopsticks to start the luncheon.
At the same time, in the largest room on the third floor of Yuexian Building.
This room is very delicately decorated. There is a jade-colored screen at the entrance, with a candlestick on each side. Further inside, there are several beautiful landscape paintings, shelves with antique porcelain bottles, and the innermost part is covered by a light gauze curtain.
Separated, there is a dressing table next to the pink bed, with various rouges and gouache on it. The girl's face is reflected in the bronze mirror.
Luo Qingqing, who was wearing a long blue gauze dress, covered her neck and touched the five marks scratched by Jiang Ran through the bronze mirror. She gasped in pain and gritted her teeth: "Damn it, Jiang Ran.
Dare to fight back!"
The maid in pink clothes standing behind her took out a small amount of milky white ointment from the porcelain bottle in her hand, applied it evenly on the wound, and reminded: "Miss, you should be gentler, you should cut Jiang Ran's face directly, if the appearance is
If she is destroyed, no man will be happy with her in the future."
Luo Qingqing clenched her hands tightly. Although Yang's mother was praising her, most of the guests in the building came for Jiang Ran. Some even thought that the oiran of Yuexian Building was Jiang Ran.
After she pondered for a while, her eyes under Liu Yeye's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and a hint of ferocity revealed: "You are a has-been oiran, why should you argue with me again!"
Immediately, she lowered her head and glanced at her sharp nails before making a decision in her mind.
...
The next day, Tang Ji took a carriage and dropped Jiang Ran and Jiu'er down in the alley near Yuexian Tower. After walking around the East City, he quietly slipped into Yuexian Tower with Li Yu.
The two quickly went to the stands on the second floor. The coquettishly dressed Mother Yang walked over with her fat bucket waist and said with a smile: "Ah, these two young masters are so handsome. These damn girls don't even bother to come to accompany you. Xiaozhu
,Ayu..."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Li Yu raised his hand and said, "No, we only listen to music and don't order girls. If you have tea and cakes, you can bring some over."
"This...Okay, you two young masters, please wait a moment." I heard that many young people nowadays have the habit of Longyang. Mother Yang immediately included the two of them, feeling a little chilly in her heart, and stretched out her hand to rub it.
With goosebumps, I walked towards the stairs.
Watching the other party leave, Li Yu also imitated Tang Ji and sat down on the cushions. He just heard Tang Ji talk about the contract between Jiang Ran and Yuexian Tower, and he also lost his favor for this broken brothel and asked
He said, "How about I lend you ten thousand taels first, and you can redeem Miss Jiang back home."
Tang Ji shook his head. Even if Li Yu was willing to borrow it, Jiang Ran might not be willing to accept it. This matter had to be done slowly.
Li Yu was very anxious and added: "The total taxes paid by Huaizhou last year were only a few hundred thousand taels. Even the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce's annual net profit is estimated to be only about a hundred thousand taels of silver at most. You are just a bookkeeper."
I want to save up to ten thousand taels... Haha, I think it’s better to let Miss Jiang get through the seven years!”
After hearing this, Tang Ji fell into deep thought. Now that he had some savings and the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce was considered stable, it was time for him to consider opening a store and developing his own business.
Seeing that he was distracted, Li Yu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and continued: "How about it? Use mine first!"
Tang Ji came back to his senses, slapped his hand away, and asked casually: "Do you have so much money?"
"I'm just kidding. Although I was demoted to Huaizhou, my position as prince is still there. I also have several shops in Kyoto. Besides, Huaizhou is my fiefdom. It's not easy to pay for ten thousand taels of silver!" Li Yuao
She raised her head delicately, like a big goose.
Tang Ji sighed lightly, this is a feudal society. Capital is always in the hands of a very small number of people. The people at the bottom can't even have enough to eat, but the upper-class officials and wealthy businessmen can spend as much as they want. No wonder there is the song "The wine and meat of the rich family are smelly, and the roads are freezing."
Dead bones.”
At this moment, Li Yu noticed something unusual upstairs and quickly grabbed Tang Ji's sleeve.
"Don't hold me back. I'll ask you to borrow it when I really need it later." Tang Ji waved his sleeves and shook off his hand, but Li Yu pinched his neck. Just as he was about to resist, he saw Jiang Ran
He was blocked in the third-floor aisle.
He jumped up from his seat and ran after him.
Li Yu picked up a piece of cake that had just been served and quickly caught up with Tang Ji, muttering something in his mouth.
"Okay, I just bullied my sister-in-law yesterday, and you still dare to come here today. Let's see how I deal with you!"
