As the man finished speaking, he saw that Wei Yan looked a little flustered.
At this time, a servant in the crowd smiled and said to the man, "It seems that you are also a frequent visitor of our Tingyu Pavilion!"
After the servant's reminder, the man suddenly remembered.
He said to Wei Yan, "Why does he look so familiar? Is he Miss Yurou's guest?"
The man's words instantly changed Wei Yan's expression.
He didn't expect that he would be recognized.
When Jiang Meimei heard this, her face turned pale instantly.
Tingyu Pavilion, Yurou.
These two words are unknown in this county.
The three words "Tingyu Pavilion" sound like a teahouse, but it actually does business as a brothel. Yu Rou is the top courtesan here. She is very beautiful, but she only sells her art and body. The more this is the case, the more those men will think she is a nobody, and they will do anything to win her favor.
Not only people from their town, but also guests from several nearby towns often come here to listen to her music.
It is said that some time ago, a man wanted to marry her and gave tens of thousands of taels to the shopkeeper of Tingyu Pavilion, but he still failed to get Miss Yu Rou's nod. I really don't know what kind of man she wants to marry.
Jiang Meimei said in a trembling voice: "Are you really going to Tingyu Pavilion to look for Miss Yurou? Are you breaking off your engagement with me because of a cheap prostitute?" The further she spoke, the sharper Jiang Meimei's voice became.
"Wei Yan, she is just a prostitute. How could you humiliate me like this for a woman like that?" Her tears burst out instantly and she shouted angrily: "The friendship between you and me since childhood for so many years is actually more than that of a prostitute. It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"
Wei Yan stood there, his face gloomy, as if he was suppressing his anger. After a while, he whispered, "Yu Rou is the kind of person you think she is. She is deeply trapped in this, and her fate is up to her."
Shang Ruoyi sneered: "What a fate that depends on oneself. Master Wei really knows how to be considerate of others."
The obviously sarcastic words made Wei Yan's face change slightly.
However, when he set his eyes on Shang Ruoyi's face, which was much more beautiful than Yu Rou's, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
There are still such iconic people in this world.
Shang Ruoyi felt particularly sick of his gaze and coughed heavily: "Master Wei, Miss Jiang, now that the facts are clear, do you know how Miss Jiang plans to compensate for the losses in my shop?" She smiled and said, "I have been delayed by you for so long, and I don't know how much money I have lost."
Jiang Meimei's face flushed, and she took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and put them on the table: "Is this enough?" Although there was still arrogance in her eyes, the aura around her had been extinguished.
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It's enough. There's still some left." Shang Ruoyi took the banknote and flicked it a few times: "In this case, I will say a few words to you, young lady!"
"What?"
"These people are good people. Even if they are forced to get together, they will still waste their lives. A person's life can be long or short. It is just one day after another. But how to live your life is up to you. Women must rely on men. Only by relying on yourself can you gain a foothold between heaven and earth." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "That's all I have to say. Miss Jiang, please take care of yourself."
The people queuing behind her were shocked to hear her words.
Do women have to depend on men?
How is that possible?
Which woman in this world obeys her father at home, obeys her husband after marriage, and obeys her son after her husband's death?
This is the rule passed down by our ancestors.
The woman who had just started the commotion sneered when she heard this: "I said you are a very strange woman. Which woman would listen to her husband? This is what our ancestors decided, and we should obey it."
"Are all the rules set by our ancestors correct?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "The ancestors you mentioned used to eat raw meat in the beginning! How did you learn from them?"
"What do you mean by eating raw meat? You are just talking nonsense!"
Shang Ruoyi glanced at her, too lazy to argue with her: "Since you said that you would follow the rules of our ancestors and put your husband first in everything and listen to him, then why did you come to me today to make trouble? It can be seen that the rules of our ancestors are not necessarily correct."
Shang Ruoyi's words left her speechless.
Jiang Meimei felt that her back was soaked with sweat.
Only by relying on herself can a woman stand between heaven and earth.
Rely on yourself.
She looked at Shang Ruoyi in front of her, and her heart suddenly calmed down, as if she had found her backbone.
When Jiang Meimei looked at Wei Yan again, the desolate look in her eyes had completely disappeared.
"Wei Yan, today it is your Wei family that made the first mistake. You, Wei Yan, are blind and chose to break off the engagement with my Jiang family for a mere prostitute. Since you have made up your mind, I will accept it." She tore off a piece of her skirt and threw it on the ground: "From now on, you and I will sever our ties and ties. Tomorrow, someone from my clan will come to cancel the engagement and take back the token."
Jiang Meimei turned around and bowed deeply to Shang Ruoyi.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Jiang Meimei said softly, "Thank you for your frank words today, I am very grateful. I will definitely bring a valuable gift to thank you in the future."
After saying this, she turned and left without even looking at Wei Yan again.
Shang Ruoyi didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect that the next day, the Jiang family would send the housekeeper to pick her up in person.
"Madam Shang, my lady and my lady are in love with you."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Jiang Meimei would actually do what she said.
She arrived at the Jiang family. Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were standing at the door. When they saw her coming down from above, Mrs. Jiang hurried forward and said, "This must be Madam Shang! She is indeed a very iconic person."
"Greetings, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang." Shang Ruoyi was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the couple would greet her at the door.
Jiang Meimei walked up to her and put her arm around her in a familiar manner: "Mom, let me tell you! Madam Shang is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
Shang Ruoyi was very pleased with Jiang Meimei's quick change of expression. She pulled her arm out of her hand and said with a smile, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too kind."
"Come into the mansion quickly!" Master Jiang said, "It's very cold outside, don't catch a cold."
After entering the mansion, Shang Ruoyi handed her cloak to Xunmei. She was wearing a warm satin robe of sky blue.
Seeing this, Jiang Meimei said enviously: "Sister Shang's dress is so beautiful. The material looks like the one sold in our cloth shop." The Jiang family started out in the clothing business and later entered officialdom, so they are extremely sensitive to these things.
This material is warm satin produced in Jiangnan. He Jingheng knew that she didn't like to wear thick clothes, so he specially asked Yunqi to find it.
The warm season is rare, and abundant rice is produced throughout the year, most of which will be tributed to the palace.
All the produce this year was secretly transported here by He Jingheng.
