Arrival in Another World 045, Ye Ci

  As expected, with money, things are easily settled. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I saw the little maid leading Liu's mother hastily out of the courtyard, walking carefully while observing her surroundings, afraid of being seen.

  Liu's mother vaguely saw Su Lianwei's figure and smiled with joy.

  Wang Lao Han was puzzled and turned to ask Old Ma Tou, "When did Liu Mama become so close with Liang Wei? I've never heard of it before."

  Old Horse Head smiled and said, "You old thing, there are still many things you don't know. Our girl Su Lian is not what you think she is." He spoke with great pride, as if Su Lian were his own daughter to boast about.

  Ripples in her heart were transparent, Liu Mama was so happy, not because she saw her, but through her saw the money.

  "Liu Mama came up and said, 'What's the big deal that you have to rush over so late at night? Be careful with your body!'"

  Liu's mother was a shrewd person, having spent her whole life in the backyard, not to mention being sharp-eyed and keen-witted. Seeing that little maid being so diligent, she knew she had taken advantage of it. After questioning her, she found out that she had given 50 copper coins, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Su Lian's generosity!

  Her expression changed from cold to warm, with a gentle smile on her face. "Actually, there are some things I want to talk about, but I also missed Liu's mother and was afraid you would be busy during the day, so I only came at night," she said, turning around, "Uncle Ma, can you take us to Fengyuan Building? I'd like to invite Liu's mother for a midnight snack."

  Lao Ma Tou and Wang Lao Han were both shocked. That Fengshan Building was the best restaurant in the county, and eating a meal there would cost at least a few taels of silver. At this hour, ordinary small shops had long since closed their doors, only such large restaurants remained open to cater to the wealthy who came to indulge in luxury.

  Liu's mother was also taken aback, and her heart was filled with joy. She had never been to Fengyuan Building before, and the complaints she had just made about being pulled out of bed were all gone. "Lianying is really a connoisseur."

  Lianyi smiled and didn't say a word, personally helping Liu's mother onto the donkey cart, then getting on himself. Old Ma knew that Lianyi was doing things with propriety, so he drove the donkey cart to Fengshan Building with peace of mind.

  This space-time is a bit like ancient China, but it's also different in some details. One or two silver coins are equivalent to one string of copper coins, and one string of copper coins is equivalent to 1,000 bronze plates. One or two silver coins seem very little, but the monthly salary of a young maid is only half a silver coin, which is why the young maid was so happy when she just received 50 bronze plates.

  Fengyuan Building, if placed in modern times, would be a five-star hotel. The delicacies of the mountains and seas are all available, and one meal costs at least two taels of silver. I wonder how many people can afford to spend a month's salary on a single meal, which is why Liu Mama is particularly happy.

  Fengyuan Building is a five-story building, the tallest in Yiwang County. The top floor is called "Zhāi Xīng Gé", meaning that the building is so tall that one can reach out and pluck the stars from the sky, which is also one of its selling points.

  In front of the Fēng Shàn Building, there were many horse-drawn carriages stopped. These luxurious carriages used top-notch materials and were pulled by tall and majestic horses. The neatly dressed coachmen sat on the carriages, chatting and waiting for their masters. When they turned their heads, they burst out laughing because they saw a rickety little donkey cart rattling towards the Fēng Shàn Building.

  Under the contrast of these carriages, the small donkey cart of Su Family Brewery was extremely shabby, and the little donkey of the carriage only reached the shoulder of a fine horse nearby.

  The little waiter in front of the Fēng Shàn Building, who was specially welcoming guests, saw him and hurried over. "Deliveries go through the back door, don't come through the front door, do you understand the rules?" It turned out that he had mistaken Lǎo Mǎ Tóu's donkey cart for a delivery vehicle.

  A slender and fair jade-like hand gently supported the carriage, and the teasing carters all stopped their ridicule, staring curiously at who was sitting in this donkey-drawn carriage.

  First to appear was Su Lianwei, whose emerald green dress was tailored to perfection by Chun Yue's skilled hands. Not only did it not make Lianwei look fat, but the richness of the fabric gave off an aura of opulence that was almost overwhelming.

  Her hairstyle was extremely ordinary, a woman's bun with long, thick black hair combed up without a single strand out of place, with only a simple silver hairpin inserted on top.

  Forehead smooth and clean, a pair of big eyes black and bright, though with a faint smile, but if you look closely, there is some chilliness, like the fifteenth moon, transparent and clear, yet it makes people inexplicably eager to watch.

  Her lips are red without lipstick, her eyebrows are green without eyebrow pencil, what a beautiful woman.

  Her beauty is not a seductive appearance, but a clear and cold temperament, gentle and elegant.

  Su Lianwei felt the gaze of these carters, but didn't mind, and instead turned to help Liu Mama, "Liu Mama, be careful." The silvery clear voice was gentle and soothing, touching people's hearts, even Liu Mama, who was used to being served by the young maids, couldn't help but feel delighted.

  "Miss, you must be from out of town, this is Fengshan Building, haven't you heard of it?" Just as Su Lianwei was about to enter the wine house, a waiter rushed up and blocked her way.

  The young waiter didn't want to "look down on people with dog eyes", but this lady came to the Fēng Shàn Building in a donkey cart, and if she couldn't pay after a while, he would also be scolded by the shopkeeper.

  "My family is indeed not from this county, but I also know a thing or two about Fengyuan Building. Don't worry, little brother." Su Lianwei knew what Xiao Er was worried about and explained with a smile, neither arrogant nor humble.

  Since everyone said so, Xiao Er could only lead the old and young into Fengyuan Building.

  The old horse head also stopped the small donkey cart beside Fengyuan Building, lined up with those luxurious horse-drawn carriages in a row, majestic and proud. He took out a small wine to drink, which made other drivers envious, after all they didn't dare to secretly drink during their shift.

  Liu's mother was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, as soon as she entered the Fengyuan Building, she looked around in all directions, and quietly clicked her tongue at its luxury.

  Fengyuan Building didn't have a large hall like ordinary restaurants, only private rooms. The waiter led the two upstairs.

  Su Lianwei glanced at Liu Mama, who was looking around in all directions, and a satisfied smile flashed across her lips.

  She's not just spending money recklessly, there's a story behind her extravagance.

  Everyone has a defensive mentality. Before this defense is broken, it's hard to say anything true. What comes out is often just polite words, especially for someone as cunning as Liu Mama.

  The best way to let a person drop their guard is to take them away from their usual environment, and add some sweet talk, so that they temporarily forget their identity, then the trick will be easily done.

  This move was still learned by Su Lianyi in her previous life at the hospital, as the youngest director-level doctor, it's inevitable to face pharmaceutical representatives, and after seeing a lot of them, she naturally became familiar with their tactics.

  There are many modern entertainment venues, and even invitations to travel abroad can be made, but in this small county of Yuewang, only Fengshan Building has the most grandeur, so it's natural to bring Liu Mama here.

  Even if it were at the Li's residence, no matter how much money was spent, Liu Mama might not have revealed the truth. After all, her questions were extremely sensitive and there were some things she could say and others that she couldn't. But in Fengyuan Building, they could take advantage of her confusion to coax it out of her.

  In fact, she used this method to deal with Liu's mother, it was like using an axe to kill a chicken, but she couldn't bear the thought of Su Hao being heartbroken, no matter what the cost, she vowed to resolve this matter!

  Thinking of this, Su Lianwei's lips curled up at the corners, and her face was filled with a confident self-assurance that added a touch of charm to her calm demeanor.

  Lost in her own thoughts, Ling didn't notice the man approaching from the opposite direction, who was also engaged in a conversation and hadn't seen anyone ahead of him. The two collided with each other.

  "Oh, sorry, sir. This young lady is at fault, you're okay, right?" The waiter was flustered and had been worried that the young lady wouldn't be able to pay for her meal, and hadn't noticed anyone in front of him.

  Lianyi raised her head, and couldn't help but brighten up at the sight of the man who had collided with her. He was indeed handsome, with a pair of thick eyebrows slanting upwards towards his temples, a high nose bridge, and a pair of pale lips that seemed to be smiling yet not quite. His hair was messy and unkempt, with two strands framing his forehead, but it didn't give off a frivolous vibe - instead, it gave people the impression that he was carefree and joyful.

  "Sorry." The ripples fell, and she flashed past him. In her heart, she sighed, this man's peach blossom eyes, don't know how many young women they had charmed, how many girls they had hurt.

  That beautifully dressed handsome man was also stunned, this woman is really strange, she bumped into him but still looked calm and collected, not even a hint of red on her cheeks, did his charm have a problem?

  "Brother Ye, the beauties have all left, can we continue downstairs now?" The young master who was chatting with the handsome man joked. "Really didn't expect that this poor and remote place could produce such a clever girl, unfortunately, she's a bit fat."

  A handsome man shook his folding fan and said, "What do you know? Plumpness and slimness each have their own charm. To be confined to only one kind of beauty is not worth being a man for a lifetime."

  Young Master Ye laughed loudly, "Indeed, indeed, the capital's Young Master Ye with countless ladies at his beck and call."

  A handsome young man furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, "Don't spout nonsense, I'm a gentleman who walks through flowers without touching the petals. Don't spread rumors and stir up trouble." As he spoke, the two of them went downstairs. With a snap, he closed his fan and held it in front of him, bowing to the person in front of him, "Young Master Li, you've kept me waiting for so long."

  The newcomer wore a white robe, with a silver crown tied high, and his black hair fell on the snowy clothes. His face was pale, his eyes were like distant mountains, and his lips were like tender willows. It was Li Yuantang, the second son of the Li family.

  The voice was as gentle as melting ice and snow, "I presume you are Ye Ci, Master Ye the Third. It's a pleasure to meet you."
