Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 383 - 382: Buying the Entire Lingyang Street for You

Ah Tao and Ming Yan, seeing there wasn’t much to assist with, also joined the banquet table. This was strongly insisted upon by Ah Zhi.

The Ye Family had no objections and went along with her.

Ah Tao and Ming Yan signed slave contracts with the Ye Mansion, all are death contracts. Slaves hold low status, can be bought and sold, and can be beaten or scolded without it being illegal. In private, Ah Zhi always thought of them with delicious food and drink, for which they were tremendously grateful. When would there ever be a time they could openly sit with the masters at the same table?

Now, it has been realized.

Moreover, to prevent Ah Tao and Ming Yan from feeling awkward, Ah Zhi deliberately arranged for them to sit at the Lingbo Fairy’s table, instead of with her brother and sister-in-law.

Ah Zhi, Huanhuan, Qinglian, Lingbo Fairy, along with Huan’s father, Ji Changzhou... and others sat at one table.

Ah Zhi’s trio of little close friends went to play the wedding games, fewer people joined them.

Yet, this did not affect Lingbo Fairy’s group’s interest; they ate and drank as they pleased~

On the table were crispy fried pork, vinegar-fried ribs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and fragrant lotus root...

Elsewhere, inside the bridal chamber.

On a brand new vibrant red brocade quilt, there were lilies, red dates, peanuts, longans, and melon seeds spread across.

Symbolizing a harmonious union and the early birth of noble children.

The bride covered her head with a red veil and sat properly at the bedside, the veil embroidered with a delicate pattern of mandarin ducks and pomegranates.

Lu He hadn’t learned embroidery, and neither was the Ye Family proficient in it. Yet she wanted Lu He to marry before the year-end, so the wedding dress and veil were prepared by the Jixiu Pavilion, renowned throughout the Capital, ensuring nothing went amiss.

Ah Zhi circled around the bride at the bedside, her gaze lingering on the veil and the radiant wedding attire.

"Sister Lu He, you look beautiful in this outfit. When I get married, I want to wear something like this too."

Shen Chen had a thin skin, embarrassed to be with Ah Zhi and the other young girls in the bridal room. As a man, it was improper to enter and exit the bridal chamber freely in the absence of other men, so he found an excuse to escape.

Inside the room were Ah Zhi and two others along with the bride.

Huanhuan also looked on with admiration, her eyebrows arched in delight: "I also want to have a seamstress from the Jixiu Pavilion make my wedding dress."

"Is it expensive? If it’s not, I want to have one made too." The Thirteenth Princess Qinglian worried about the cost, with only two thousand silver left from what the Noble Princess Consort Xiao gave, wondering if it would suffice?

Though she was a princess, her personal spending money was not as abundant as Ah Zhi and Huanhuan’s.

Almost every princess and prince within the palace had wealthy maternal families to support them; those born to low-status concubines were quite rare.

Even in the worst-case scenario in the palace, there were rewards from the Emperor, or they had their salary based on their rank.

Favored concubines received many gifts from the Emperor, and their position and rank would be promoted accordingly.

The salary was completely insufficient, as for the Noble Princess Consort Xiao, along with the Empress, Princess Consort Hui, Lady, Princess Consort Jia... and others, their families were extraordinarily wealthy and regarded the salary as mere dirt~ 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Ye Zhi couldn’t bear to see the Little Fairy worry about money, and comforted her: "Don’t worry, the State Preceptor is very rich. Not to mention having wedding attire customized by Jixiu Pavilion, if you wanted, he could even buy the entire Lingyang Street for you."

Qinglian’s clear and lovely eyebrows lit up, her brows brushed with a hint of spring surprise, "Buy all of Lingyang Street for me? That’s impossible, the land there is too expensive, renting just one shop there is unaffordable, let alone an entire street."

The Jixiu Pavilion, three stories high, with its flower-decorated windows and green tiles, spacious and bright, was located at the busy center of Lingyang Street in Jingzhao.

Her focus was entirely on buying Lingyang Street, completely neglecting why Ah Zhi mentioned the State Preceptor.

Ye Zhi scratched her head: "I’m not sure why, I just know the State Preceptor has the ability, the rest I don’t quite remember."
