Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 102 Part 4: End of the Play Hiya, I’m sorry for missing a chapter part on Thursday, something came up and I had to go out of town.
An advance warning, there’s a word at the end that’s not translated as there’s no English equivalent to it. It seemed to be a made up plant / flower. No worry, there’s an explanation in the .
Tong Zhi Yang was stunned and Tang Fan glanced at Jiang Li in surprise. He laughed and said: “Miss Jiang second thought very thoroughly.”
“Master Tang should be asking those people to examine where the problems of the ancient fragrant satin lay. Aside from this, all the things in the Ye family’s weaving place have not been moved so as to make it easier for Master Tang’s people to check.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “If you need the Ye family to do something, the Ye family will help with full strength. In case Master Tang discovers something, can write a letter to report to the Weaving Unit. Once the Weaving Unit in the capital gets the news, if the Ye family is the cause, then the Ye family’s weaving industry will be sealed, if it’s not because of the Ye family, this matter will be complicated. Afraid there’s another conspiracy in the middle, which must be handed over to Master to investigate.”
She spoke neither too fast nor too slow, Ye Ming Yu did not understand matters in officialdom and was confused as he listened. Tong Zhi Yang frowned, faintly sensing that Jiang Li was not the naive and ignorant little girl that he had imagined. The one most astonished was Tang Fan. Everything that Jiang Li said was actually the official sequence of workflow. Could Jiang Yuan Bai be instructing his daughter on these official matters at home? If not, how could she speak about this affair so clearly and logically? Seemingly familiar, as if she had kept everything in mind from the beginning.
Of course they would not know that as early as when she married Shen Yurong, the girl in front of them had read the government sequence of workflow. At that time, Xue Fang Fei did not know how she could help Shen Yurong. She only had the ability of retentive memory, thus she simply read through all the official documents, which included the official sequence of workflow. She knew the position of the Weaving Unit and knew what they did. Saying all these to Tang Fan was nothing else but to let him be clear that it’s not good to deceive her, at least on the matter of the Ye family, Tang Fan must work conscientiously.
It could be said that Tang Fan had no choice but to be polite to the Ye family before because of Jiang Yuan Bai’s name. But now, Jiang Li’s words gave birth to a tiny admiration in Tang Fan’s heart. Everyone spurned this Jiang second miss who had harmed her mother and killed her younger brother when she returned to Yanjing. However, she unexpectedly relied on Ming Yi Hall’s examinations to make a name for herself in one move. Not just that, she also received a personal gift from His Majesty. It was said that people with ability would not lack anything wherever they go. Even if they were in a plight, just relying on themselves, they could find a way out for themselves.
Tang Fan respectfully said: “In that case, let’s not delay the time and go to the weaving place now.”
Jiang Li, together with her party and Tang Fan left. Tong Zhi Yang looked at their departing back, a trace of unease flashed in his mind. He paused, then asked somewhat nervously to the person next to him: “There’s still no reply from Yanjing?”
“Returning to the master, not yet.”
“Really a bunch of trash!” Tong Zhi Yang said while swearing: “Quickly go and ask, also,” he lowered his voice, “don’t blame me for being rude if the madam and young master’s whereabouts are still unknown!”
His outer room and son’s whereabouts were still unknown to this day. Tong Zhi Yang doubted they’d been taken outside Xiangyang. However, the time in between was too long, so investigating at this time was really too difficult.
Everything does not go well! He angrily slammed the cup on the table.
……
The Ye family’s weaving place was located at an open space at the bottom of the mountain.
There was no one inside the weaving place. Ever since problems occurred with the ancient fragrant satin, the Ye family’s manufacture was suspended and no longer weave any fabrics. The previous ancient fragrant satin had already circulated in the entire Northern Yan. On this side, in Xiangyang, the affairs of the Ye family was abuzz, but it was unknown how about in other parts of Northern Yan.
The weaving looms were covered by a faint layer of ash. Walking in from the doorway, the large weaving place appeared especially desolate. Ye Jia Er and Ye Ru Feng were waiting in the weaving place. Upon the arrival of Jiang Li and her party, they immediately got up to welcome them.
“Younger cousin, you’ve finally arrived,” said Ye Jia Er. Hoping for the stars and the moon, eventually, the awaited people from the Weaving Unit had come. These days, the people of the Ye family had not been sleeping well. Ye Ming Hui two brothers were still locked in the government office, Li Zheng Tang was also closed, in the entire Xiangyang, it’s circulated that the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin cause people’s deaths. If it was someone else, they would also not be able to eat and sleep well, worrying all day long.
Now that the Weaving Unit official had come, they could investigate, in the end, where the problem lay. If there really was a problem, they would know where to correct and wouldn’t be like a headless fly, running around in confusion with their hands tied and without any plans, staying in their original place and not knowing what they should do to make it better and looked on helplessly as the situation became more and more terrible.
“Older cousin, where’s the ancient fragrant satin?” Jiang Li asked.
Ye Jia Er hurriedly said: “Over here.” She moved her body, exposing a deck behind her where a neat row of wooden boxes were located.
The subordinates opened the boxes and Tang Fan brought his people over to the wooden boxes.
The patterns on the ancient fragrant satin were dark and simple. What’s rare was the faint fragrance emitting from the fabric. Only the Ye family had the ability to produce this kind of fabric, no one else could. In the two years when ancient fragrant satin was just produced, it was difficult to get even one bolt. Those nobilities wrangled endlessly just to get a bolt of the fabric.
Yet, the current ancient fragrant satin had become the target of scorn that everyone scolded. Ye Jia Er and Ye Rufeng’s eyes showed a trace of sadness.
“We did not move these ancient fragrant satin after they had been received from the customers.” Jiang Li smiled and said, “if there’s really something that causes illness in the ancient fragrant satin, at this time, it should still be there.”
Tang Fan reached out and picked a piece of fabric, using his hand to rub a few times, probably to identify . After a while, he leaned close to lightly smell the fabric.
Ye Jia Er held Jiang Li’s hand nervously. Jiang Li smiled at her to comfort her and Ye Jia Er felt a bit relieved.
Tang Fan mulled over for a while then asked his subordinate to come closer and repeat his movements as if to verify something.
Jiang Li noticed that he seemed to have made something out and immediately asked: “Master Tang, did you find something?”
Tang Fan did not dare to neglect when facing Jiang Li. He hurriedly said: “Can’t say that we’ve found something, but there’s something strange.”
“What’s strange?” Ye Jia Er asked anxiously.
“On this ancient fragrant satin, why is there a tuóluó smell?”
