Chapter 10: Get In
I don’t know what those people talked about after Jiang Fei left that day. After that, the old lady ordered her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors.
Since Jiang Rulin was reflecting on her mistakes, she could still wander around the mansion, so Jiang Fei followed suit, strolling around the mansion and observing where she could sneak out.
She has never been out shopping since she came into this world, and she is going crazy if she stays locked up at home all the time.
Jiang Fei sat at the stone table, deep in thought.
What did Yao and Jiang Rulin mean by what they said that day?
Should Jiang Rulin have been the second daughter of the Jiang family? What about her? Could she be the third daughter of the Jiang family? What's the point of switching the order?
Jiang Fei thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this matter was not mentioned in the book.
Is it because of the changes that happened when she traveled through the book, or did the original author feel that she was just a minor supporting character and there was no need to waste time and effort on her?
She tried calling the system twice, but there was no response after waiting for a long time.
She had to find a way to sneak out. Staying stuck in the house like this wasn't a solution. If Wei Mingzhen really didn't plan to marry her and wanted to marry someone else instead, that would be absolutely impossible.
Jiang Fei was thinking while eating snacks, when suddenly a piece of biscuit slipped from her fingers and fell to the ground, rolling a few times.
She was about to bend down to pick it up, but saw a dirty little hand quickly stretched out from behind the rockery, grabbed the pastry and then retracted it.
Jiang Fei deliberately threw another piece to the ground. When the other party reached out to take it, she quickly grabbed the other party's hand and pulled the person out.
It was a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, curled up in the crevice of the rockery behind the stone table, trying hard to swallow the red dates in her mouth.
When she was discovered, she was so scared that she trembled all over and rolled her eyes because she choked on the red dates.
Jiang Fei quickly slapped her hard on the back, and the red dates fell out of the little girl's mouth. She wanted to pick them up again, but was stopped by Jiang Fei.
"Who are you?"
The little girl was shaking like a sieve, "Miss, please spare me, please spare me."
"What's your name? Which courtyard are you from?" Jiang Fei asked.
The little girl's voice was pitifully low. "My name is Jiutao, and I'm a maid in the utility room."
Jiang Fei then noticed the slender arms under her sleeves, as if she had never eaten a full meal. "Are you hungry?"
Jiutao nodded vigorously.
Jiang Fei pinched the snack and asked, "How long have you been at home?"
"I was sold to the Jiang Mansion when I was six years old."
Jiang Fei nodded and waved the snack in front of Jiu Tao, "You have been in the mansion for so many years, I believe you are familiar with everything here."
Jiu Tao's eyes lit up as she looked at the dim sum. She swallowed hard and said, "Very familiar."
"Then let's make a deal." Jiang Fei looked around and lowered her voice, "Do you know where I can sneak out without being noticed?"
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Fei was already walking on the streets of the capital, followed by a chattering follower.
"Miss, it would be terrible if someone found out."
"Then don't let anyone find out." Jiang Fei said.
Jiutao followed behind her with a rope tied around her wrist, extending all the way to Jiang Fei's wrist.
The two of them are now tied to the same rope. Jiang Fei did this, firstly to prevent the two from getting separated and not being able to find the way back, and secondly to prevent Jiutao from secretly reporting the matter.
The two of them wandered around from morning to noon and were already starving. Jiang Fei had the silver she got from pawning two pieces of jewelry in her pocket and went straight to a restaurant.
The window of the private room faced the street. Jiang Fei sat by the window, eating, watching the excitement, and sighing.
She had just seen many shops on the way here. With her current knowledge, it should not be a problem for her to open a shop in the capital and make some money. If she was lucky, she might become a wealthy businessman. It was a pity that she had a short life. In two years, she would die with all the members of the Jiang family. She would have the life to make money but not the life to spend it.
Instead of working hard, it is better to lie down.
Try to marry Wei Mingzhen as soon as possible, get a dowry from the Jiang family, and then spend it all before you die, and enjoy life here for two years.
Jiang Fei was just about to look away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage stopped diagonally opposite. When she saw the people getting off the carriage, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't that "Wei Mingzhen"? I was just wondering how to meet him, and now he's here.
Jiang Fei waved behind her, and Jiutao came forward, holding a bun in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and her mouth was also stuffed full.
Jiang Fei pointed to where the carriage had just stopped and asked, "What is that place?"
Jiu Tao finally swallowed the meat in her mouth and said incoherently: "That's Liufang Garden, it's..."
"I see." Jiang Fei said, "A brothel, right?"
Jiu Tao shook her head repeatedly, "It's a theater, a place to listen to music, only high-ranking officials can go there."
The theater is easier to deal with, there is no need to find a way to sneak in.
Jiang Fei wiped her hands, dragged Jiu Tao along and left. Jiu Tao was still thinking about the table full of delicious food, "What about the food?"
"First things first!"
Jiang Fei pulled Jiutao downstairs in a hurry and headed straight for Liufang Garden opposite.
Without waiting for the burly man at the door to question her, she directly used her money ability, threw out a silver ingot, and successfully entered Liufang Garden.
This place looks simple from the outside, but it's a different world inside.
In the center of the theater is a stage with a gorgeous red and golden caisson ceiling. The carved tables and chairs are already full of people, and there are two layers of elegant seats surrounding it.
Jiang Fei pulled Jiutao and looked for Wei Mingzhen in the crowd.
With his family background, he probably wouldn't be in the lobby, but in a private room upstairs.
Jiang Fei was about to go upstairs when she was stopped by someone at the stairs. "Excuse me, Miss, which private room have you reserved?"
"Second floor." Jiang Fei replied vaguely and was about to leave.
The waiter was standing at the stairs, looking at her suspiciously, with a slightly contemptuous tone in his voice.
"Miss, if you don't have a reservation, you can't come to our private room. It just so happens that the downstairs is full today. Miss, you should come another day."
The tone was like that of the eunuchs in the palace who were talking to Qiao. Jiang Fei only regretted that she did not wear all the jewelry when she went out, so as to blind his eyes that looked down on others with her dazzling jewels.
"I'm looking for someone." Jiang Fei said directly.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Wei Mingzhen." Before the waiter could speak, Jiang Fei said, "I am his fiancée."
The waiter took a breath. The Third Young Master Wei was coming today and had indeed booked a private room on the second floor in advance.
If she really was the fiancée of the Third Young Master Wei, he couldn't afford to offend her. If this woman dared to impersonate her, he couldn't blame her for letting her go.
Thinking of this, the waiter immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "So it's Master Wei's fiancée. Miss, please go to the private room upstairs. The private room of Master Wei San is on the second floor, the fourth room. I won't take you up there."
Jiang Fei nodded, lifted her skirt and went upstairs.
The private rooms on the second floor are arc-shaped and surround the stage downstairs, with the best view. The waiter only said it was the fourth room, but did not say whether to count from the left or the right.
Jiang Fei walked along the corridor and came to the door of the fourth private room. She looked inside and saw that there was no one there, so she counted from the other end.
When I counted to the fourth room, I could faintly hear the sound of a piano.
Jiang Fei leaned on the door and looked through the crack. Sure enough, she saw "Wei Mingzhen" leaning on the couch, holding a folding fan in one hand, with a beauty sitting on each side, and another beauty playing the piano in the room.
The beauty beside him presented him with a glass of wine, which he deflected with his folding fan. He then raised his chin and said, "Drink it."
She really knows how to enjoy herself, and she's shameless. She's seen flirting with other men, but she's enjoying herself here.
Double standard dog! Dog man!
Jiang Fei lay on the crack of the door and scolded him from outside to inside, from top to bottom, with the corners of her mouth twitching like a patient with facial nerve disorder.
Jiu Tao was terrified watching from the side, and kept pulling Jiang Fei's sleeve, "Miss, your expression is getting more and more ferocious..."
In the room, Pei Jing looked over the moment he heard a sound outside the door, then waved his hand holding the folding fan, and the door opened straight to both sides.
"Who are you? Come in!"
