Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 448 Extra - Wei Jue (15)

After hearing this, Ye Xi addressed him as "Master Pei."

Pei Zhu carefully introduced to Ye Xi several popular styles in Suzhou City. Ye Xi was not stingy and bought them all, letting the guards who followed him take them.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for today." Ye Xi thanked him before leaving.

"You're welcome, Madam. Take care."

Ye Xi took the things she bought home, and when Wei Jue came back, she showed him the patterns of the fabrics.

Wei Jue was not familiar with these things and could not figure out anything. He just listened quietly to her story of how she bought the cloth.

Looking at her beaming with joy, I felt that Ye Xi was really too easy to satisfy. Just spending money could make her happy for a long time.

Wei Jue remembered that Ye Xi in his dream seemed to like watching iron flower performances. He heard that this was popular in Suzhou City, so he planned to ask someone to find out when and where this performance would be held so that he could take her to see it.

"Husband, when are you free? There is a restaurant with delicious food. I want to take you there. It is a delicacy that cannot be missed."

As Ye Xi was talking, she suddenly remembered this and felt that she must let Wei Jue try it as well.

Wei Jue thought for a moment and said, "Wait for my news."

Ye Xi nodded readily.

Wei Jue gave her a reply the next evening, saying that he would accompany her out for dinner in two days and take her to see the iron flower making show that day.

On that day, Wei Jue took her out for a meal in the evening, then abandoned the carriage and walked with her on the street.

Ye Xi didn't expect that he would be so considerate and willing to go shopping with her after dinner.

This day seemed to be a local market day. There were many people on the street and many street vendors.

Although Ye Xi often went out during this period, Wei never allowed her to go out at night.

Worried that something might go wrong and his subordinates wouldn't be able to protect him, Ye Xi behaved well and didn't make a fuss.

So this was Ye Xi's first time going out at night. Looking at the bustling streets full of lanterns, Ye Xi was extremely excited.

"My husband, I think our city of Hangzhou should be like this too, and let the peddlers and hawkers have fun at night. This way the people will be happy, and those who make a living will also be happy."

Ye Xi said something to Wei Jue on a whim.

Because of Suzhou's special political status, its economic development is much better than that of Hangzhou. The government allows businesses to operate at night and the curfew is also later.

This is incomparable to the city of Hangzhou. After nightfall in Hangzhou, except for inns which are allowed to operate, street vendors have to close their stalls in time, mainly because they are worried that they will not be able to leave in time during the curfew.

Ye Xi's unintentional words were remembered by Wei Jue.

His goal is to become the Governor-General of Liangjiang, and he also intends to move the Governor's Office to Hangzhou City, so these things are indeed worth thinking about.

As Ye Xi walked, she took the initiative to hold Wei Jue's hand.

Wei Jue glanced at her calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He enjoyed the way she relied on him.

"Wow, husband, look at that lantern, it's so beautiful." Ye Xi's eyes lit up when she saw the lanterns being sold on the street.

You can't blame her for making a fuss. Not only was the lantern unique in shape, but it also moved. She was staring at it so hard that she couldn't even walk.

Wei Jue laughed: "If you like it, just pick it and buy it directly."

Ye Xi liked every one of them, and she couldn’t pick anything after picking them over and over again.

Wei Jue held his forehead and sighed: "If you like them all, just buy them all."

Ye Xi was waiting for him to say this and agreed readily: "Okay, boss, I want all these lanterns, he will pay!" After saying this, she pointed at Wei Jue.

Wei Jue suddenly realized that she was waiting for him here, to see how he would "teach her a lesson" tonight.
