Chapter 109 She Became the Oiran
Chapter 109 She Became the Oiran
The courtesan sitting on the sedan chair was his half-sister Jiang Yaoyao. Ning Huaizhi seemed to have seen the person clearly, so he frowned and said:
"Is that your sister?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded:
"She actually became an oiran. It seems that she is doing well in Yihong Courtyard. Maybe my father selling her to Yihong Courtyard was the right path for her, just like he married me to your family to pay off the debt."
Jiang Yuwei said, shaking her head helplessly and smiled.
Jiang Yaoyao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, also saw Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi. At that time, she was so naive that she even envied Jiang Yuwei for marrying this cripple and living a good life. Now she can earn hundreds of taels a night, and all the prominent figures in Ping'an Town are at her feet. As long as she beckons her fingers, these stinky men will come one after another to satisfy her desires.
Jiang Yaoyao smiled gently and ordered the sedan bearer to stop the sedan, then signaled the maid serving beside her to help her get out of the sedan.
"Oh, this is the oiran."
"Why did she come down? She looks so pretty."
"It's really good. Even I, a woman, am moved by it."
Jiang Yaoyao asked the maid to help her walk to Jiang Yuwei, glanced at Ning Huaizhi, then looked at Jiang Yuwei and said disdainfully:
"Tsk tsk, you found a lame guy and didn't forget to show him off. I don't know what you like about him that you follow him so wholeheartedly."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Jiang Yaoyao, who was dressed gorgeously and charmingly, and snorted coldly:
"Hey, I see you're quite proud of being a prostitute now, shouldn't you thank your gambling father for helping you find a career that suits you? Just be a good courtesan and don't come and fool around in front of us, it's unlucky to see you."
Jiang Yaoyao originally wanted to disgust Jiang Yuwei, but she didn't expect that she would call her a prostitute and an otaku. At this moment, Jiang Yaoyao felt very upset, but she had no way to refute it. She could only curse with a red face:
"You, don't talk nonsense here!"
Jiang Yuwei raised her eyebrows and smiled:
"Did I say anything wrong? Aren't you quite proud of your current status? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so ostentatious in public."
Jiang Yaoyao stamped her feet angrily and said in a sharp voice:
"Hmph, Jiang Yuwei, don't go too far. You don't have to show off in front of me. I earn more money than you do now!"
Jiang Yuwei burst out laughing when she saw this, and repeated in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, I earn more money now than you do..."
Jiang Yaoyao was choked by Jiang Yuwei and couldn't speak. Her face turned red and white. The maidservant beside her said in her ear:
"Miss Yao, Master Ge is still waiting for you at the mansion. If you don't leave now, you might be late."
After hearing this, Jiang Yaoyao glared at Jiang Yuwei, threw away her handkerchief, turned around and got back into the sedan chair.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Jiang Yaoyao's departing back, shook her head helplessly and said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, just now, I made you suffer with me. Don't take what she said to heart. She was deliberately trying to piss me off."
Ning Huaizhi looked worried and spoke slowly:
"Yuwei, it's my legs that are holding you back."
Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Huaizhi on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Your leg will definitely get better. Believe me, I have already figured out something about the thousand-year-old ginseng. Just wait for my good news."
Ning Huaizhi was not very happy after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yuwei worriedly and said:
"Yuwei, I said I don't want you to take risks in the mountains anymore. The thousand-year-old ginseng you mentioned..."
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and smiled;
"I know. Don't worry about it. Just wait for my good news."
Jiang Yuwei went to the space a few days ago to check on the growth of ginseng. She believed that it would not take long for the thousand-year-old ginseng to grow. Then she would take Ning Huaizhi to see Doctor Lin to treat his legs. Combined with the nourishment of spiritual spring water, medicinal bath and acupuncture, Ning Huaizhi's legs would definitely be cured.
Jiang Yuwei was sitting on the ox cart and accidentally caught a glimpse of a jewelry store. She hurriedly called Ning Huaizhi to stop:
"Huaizhi, please stop the car here and wait for me for a while. I'm going to the jewelry store."
Ning Huaizhi nodded and stopped the ox cart.
Jiang Yuwei asked the shopkeeper as soon as she entered the shop:
"I see there are a lot of gold jewelry in our store. Are they all handmade by the craftsmen in the store?"
When the shopkeeper heard that Jiang Yuwei came in and asked about gold jewelry, he thought she was a big customer and greeted her warmly:
"Yes, yes, my dear guest, please come in. Our jewelry is all handmade by professionals. Please take a look at what you like and I will help you choose."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"I'm not here to buy jewelry today."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's face turned colder and he said indifferently:
"This customer is really joking. If you don't buy jewelry in a jewelry store, what else can you buy?
Jiang Yuwei was not annoyed when she saw this, and still said with a smile:
"I was thinking that the gold powder left over from the wear and tear of our master making gold jewelry could be sold to me? I need it in large quantities for a long time. Can you give me a cheaper price based on the current gold price?"
The shopkeeper looked puzzled:
"Why do you want to buy that gold powder? Do you know how to make jewelry yourself?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled:
"The jewelry made from gold powder is naturally not as pure as that made from gold. I don't use it to make jewelry, I use it for painting."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded in relief and motioned Jiang Yuwei to go with him to the backyard to get the gold powder. He went to the master to collect an ounce of gold powder and handed it to Jiang Yuwei:
"Here is an ounce of gold dust. It's not as pure as gold, but it's definitely from gold."
Jiang Yuwei took the gold powder, looked at it, paid the money and left the shop.
Ning Huaizhi smiled and said:
"Wife, what jewelry did you buy? Why don't you wear it?"
Jiang Yuwei waved her hand:
"I'm not going to buy jewelry. I'm going to buy gold powder. I'm going to research a new kind of paper for the nobles to use."
Ning Huaizhi nodded and smiled:
"Okay, wife, I support you."
Ning Huaizhi drove the ox cart to the vegetable market again. Jiang Yuwei bought some things, and then they got on the ox cart and headed for Ningjia Village. After meeting Mrs. Ge today, Jiang Yuwei's determination to make money became even stronger. She wanted to make a lot of money and then own a shop of her own in Ping'an Town. It would be best if she could bring down Ge's Paper Shop, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve her anger.
Jiang Yuwei was thinking about something and didn't notice that the ox cart had arrived at the gate of the courtyard. It was not until she raised her eyes and saw Ning Chunlin squatting outside the gate of her courtyard, looking like a stray dog, that she frowned and said:
"What are you doing here again?"
Ning Chunlin saw Ning Huaizhi and Jiang Yuwei coming back, and hurriedly stood up, scratched his head and smiled;
"Sister-in-law, I came here today specifically to ask you for money."
