Chapter 556: Whose Funeral?
fe, we must also bear those responsibilities. 。"But don't worry, I'll definitely come back to find you. And you're welcome to visit us at Gu Yue!"She finally let go of him, crossed her arms in front..."What is it" Ye Wen asked him. 。Then Nan Tian said, “These things probably won't be learned in a day or two. It would be too much trouble for Master to always run outside the city.” 。It's better if the disciple goes back to the inner city with the master and learns all these skills before returning. 。"Well," Ye Wen nodded, "that's good. This way I won't have to run to the outer city every day. Back and forth wastes a lot of time." 。Let's go to Xiaoya together! Two people learn together, and after learning, we will teach others. 。“Having said that, he turned to the other eight skilled artisans and continued, “This time, we can’t bring so many people. Next time there are new designs, I will also take turns bringing you along and giving you pointers personally.” 。Besides, the jewelry store was also tied down and had to keep someone at home. 。When the eight skilled artisans heard they would have another chance, they were all delighted and nodded in agreement, promising to take good care of the shop and work hard on the jewelry. 。"Someone just raised a question: 'We're currently running a jewelry shop. Selling things like bicycle pendants wouldn't be a problem, but would it be appropriate to sell watches, music boxes, and fountain pens here' "Ye Wenyan shook his head. “Inappropriate. That’s why I’ve been thinking, we’ll need to find another shop later on..." 。No, I should check out two more places. I also want to open a fragrance shop. 。"
Zhui'er reminded her, "Miss, don't always think about the board. You have to see what you have in your hands first." 。" She didn't understand for a moment, “What do I have in my hand” Zhuier stomped her feet anxiously, “Miss, now you’re holding a bunch of property deeds in your hands. Haven’t you forgotten” Ye Wenyan patted her head, she had truly forgotten. 。"Well then, there's no need to go to the shop. Let's just see if we have any suitable noodles in our hands." 。I'm just wondering if those shops might be engaged in other businesses. If they've already been rented out to others, we wouldn't want to disturb their business. We'll have to come up with another plan then. 。"Maybe we should consider a shop inside the city walls Didn't the Emperor say he wanted to swap the people between the inner and outer cities If we want to sell our goods to commoners, then an inner city shop would make more sense now." 。Yè Wēn yán felt that changing people actually didn't need to be on a large scale. The outer city was so big, how could everyone possibly move to the inner city It simply wouldn't fit. 。So even if we were to make a change, it would only be to replace a portion of the people, or perhaps directly expel those whom Shi Liyuan deems unsuitable for living within the Inner City. 。So even then, the outer city will still be the outer city. Although some people might move to the inner city, overall, there will definitely be fewer people living in the inner city. 。She told Ye Chuchen this idea, and Ye Chuchen followed her train of thought and felt it made sense. 。At this time, Ying Nantong spoke: “The two shops next to us seem to be about to be sold. The other day, I heard that the owner over there said he was going back home and wouldn't be living in Lin'an anymore.” 。If the shop is sold, it can bring in a large sum of money. Taking that money back home, one could buy land and even build a grand three-entry courtyard house, more comfortable than living in Lin'an. 。If the master wants to set up a shop, it's better to take down these two first. Then, the three shops will be next to each other, and it will be much easier for us to take care of them. People who come to buy things can also visit all three stores together. 。“That’s great,” Ye Wen said with a smile. “However, I’m not very good at discussing pawn shops. Besides, if I were to come forward, it wouldn't seem right for me to ask for a specific amount of silver.” 。I won't go and add to the mental burden of that household. You guys arrange someone here to send a suitable person over to inquire about it. 。The price should be what it is, we shouldn't be ripped off, and we shouldn't take advantage of others. 。" I'll follow your instructions. Here is the translation: “ Master, please rest assured, nothing like that will happen." 。The disciples in the outer city are well taken care of, and they all know that the master doesn't expect them to repay him. Therefore, our interactions with the people are very smooth. 。We can leave this matter to the former shopkeeper. He will definitely handle it well. 。"At this point, he suddenly remembered that the previous hall master hadn't introduced Ye Wenyan yet, so he quickly added: "The master of the previous hall is a woman named Jie Qiaoan. She is thirty-seven years old this year. She is an elder sister-in-law whom I have known for a long time." 。This sister-in-law was also born into a wealthy family when she was young, and later married a man from another region. 。To her surprise, her in-laws had fallen into poverty and her husband had died. She had no choice but to return to her maiden home in Lin'an City. 。Unfortunately, her parents were frail and passed away early. Her elder brothers and sisters ruled the household, leaving no room for her, making life very difficult. 。My wife's husband and I are old acquaintances. When I heard about this, I invited her to be the manager, partly to help her out, and partly because she was raised in a pampered way at home and is very knowledgeable about jewelry and accessories. 。In the shop, all the customers are women. If it's a male shopkeeper who is trying to attract business, talking to them always feels awkward. 。"
Ye Wen didn't have any opinion on this. She had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the front hall and left everything to Ying Nantian to decide. 。When they came out of the shop, it was long past lunchtime. 。A few people decisively found a restaurant and reserved a private room, then had a meal. 。Around the time of Shen, as he was heading back towards the inner city, Zhou Shang's carriage stopped again in a small alleyway. 。"Miss 。He peeked his head in and said, "We've walked down this same alley again, I've seen that child again." 。Ye Wen listened to Zhou Shang's words and immediately remembered his long conversation with the Fourth Prince. He recalled what the prince had said about Li Fei, and about his own childhood. 。Now that Lady Li is still at the Prince's Mansion, she knows this matter is a bit tricky for the Third Prince and rather difficult for the Fourth Prince to face. 。But what has happened has happened, and what needs to be faced must eventually be faced. 。She lifted the curtain and looked out. Sure enough, she saw the child who had cried last time and begged her father not to hit her mother. I think his name was Huzi. 。He just stood at the entrance of a small courtyard, staring intently at the ground ahead, wondering what he was thinking. 。This time, he was alone without his father or mother. He wore a coarse hemp mourning garment and had a filial cap on his head, clearly in mourning. 。Could this little child be mourning for someone For their grandparentsA woman in her thirties walked out from a small courtyard and saw the child standing at the door, lost in thought. She pushed him aside and said, "What are you daydreaming about Go back inside quickly!" 。Those paper money, you don't burn them and wait for someone else to burn them for you I tell you, your own parents' paper money has to be burned by their own son. Others burning it, they won't accept it. 。As he was speaking, another man came out and stood beside the woman. 。The man glanced at the child and grunted, "Crying and whining for your mother What's there to want from her Besides doing those scandalous things, what else can she do Your father brought her home for you, but what happened She's even more brazen than before, stealing people right under our roof!" 。If it wasn't for being ridden roughshod by others, could your father have killed her in a fit of anger Now that she's dead, and your father has hanged himself, are you satisfied You got what you wanted, didn't you For the sake of a useless woman, your father lost his life. Is this what you really wantedTiger, I'm telling you, once this funeral is over, if you want to leave, go ahead and leave. This house won't keep someone like you, who brings nothing but bad luck! What good could have possibly come from a mother like that Who knows what she will turn out to be when she grows up Maybe just as much of a troublemaker as her mother!"The woman nodded in agreement, "Yes, once the funeral is over, get out of here and don't ever look back." 。Technically, this funeral shouldn't be our family's responsibility, but your second uncle and your father are brothers. Since they've both lost their father, we still have to send him off one last time. 。But that's all we can do, don't blame your uncle and aunt. Blame your shameless mother instead, she's the one who made you lose your home. 。Alright, hurry inside and burn some paper, tomorrow we'll leave the city for the burial. We'll fill in the grave and set up a tombstone, then you don't have to come back with us. 。After they finished speaking, they turned and went back into the yard, leaving the child alone standing at the door. 。Zhou Shang sighed after reading, saying straight up that this child was truly pitiful. 。Ye Wen also felt sorry for him, and at the same time, she remembered what Quan Qinghua had told her about those things, and the words Quan Qinghua said when he pointed his sword at Huzi's mother's throat. 。He said that such a woman was impossible to reform, that if she did it once, she would do it countless times. Continuing to live would only shame her husband and her children. 。He said that the child is still young and only knows that he can't be without his mother. But when he grows up, he will regret why he kept this mother when he was a child. Having such a mother will make him unable to hold his head high for life. 。She didn't know what Tiger was feeling now, but she understood why Quanqing had drawn it. 。Even she was thinking, if the Eldest Princess hadn't died, and General Ye hadn't died either, if one day the Eldest Princess exposed General Ye's affairs in front of many people, maybe she would also feel ashamed. Ye Feiyu and his brothers would be even more embarrassed to have such a father. 。She agrees that parents should have their own lives, and even if their relationship ends, she supports them getting divorced. 。But she absolutely refused to see one party being unfaithful to the other during their marriage. 。As long as their relationship is still that of husband and wife, then the future life can only be a shared life. 。If you want to have your own lives, then please end your existing marriage first. 。Even though men in this era can have three wives and four concubines, please let the concubines be accepted openly and honestly, instead of setting up a persona of deep affection while having a bunch of women and children outside. 。All are trash, but even trash should be genuine, don't treat people like fools. 。"Fourth Sister 。"Seeing her speechless, Ye Chulian gently called out to her, “Sister, what’s wrong” Ye Wenyan came back to her senses and realized she had overthought things. 。Then go and look at that tiger cub, but there is no one left at the gate of the courtyard. 。Zhou Shang said, “That child went into the courtyard.” 。Oh, what a pity. What a shame to have such a... 。His father is the same, if he doesn't want to live, just don't live. A big stick beats him out, why kill someone Killing someone and then committing suicide, what about this little child Just now his second uncle and aunt meant not to keep him, I don't know how this child will live in the future. 。Footsteps sounded behind them. Ye Wen heard Ye Chu Lian take a sharp gasp, and knew instantly who had arrived...s Then I don’t know, I only know that it must be this one who brought him somewhere now. I also asked, but he…” 。Li Xiaohan secretly let out a breath. In fact, she didn't want to ask about Quan Qingl...
