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

Chapter 54

Ye Xi despised the other person in her heart. Why did she always meet shameless people? Thinking of this, she stole a glance at Pei Zhu. Although she felt that Pei Zhu's behavior on the couch was also quite shameless, but... she seemed to like it quite a lot. Her old face turned red unconsciously. It seemed that she still had to get points.

The next day, Pei Zhu and Ye Xi went to Yunmoju to visit Yang Jian. Yunmoju was indeed as grand as Pei Zhu said, which made Ye Xi even more uneasy. Yang Jian didn't look like a temporary stay, so she had to be careful in the future.

The servant led them to the main hall, where Yang Jian was already waiting for them outside the door. This surprised Pei Zhu and Ye Xi. When they visited Yang's house before, Yang Jian had a different attitude. Could it be that this change was because Pei Zhu had "made something of himself"? Pei Zhu and Ye Xi were guessing in their hearts.

Yang Jian saw someone coming and went forward to greet them. The three of them exchanged greetings outside the door for a while, and then Yang Jian invited the person to the guest seat in the main hall. Not long after, Kuang Zhen and his wife also came, as well as several other unfamiliar merchants, all of whom came with their wives. Ye Xi then realized that it was a family-oriented banquet.

Ever since Pei Zhu hooked up with Kuang Zhen, banquets of this nature have been held from time to time. However, because Pei Zhu was often in Yangzhou, Ye Xi either couldn't attend or couldn't attend at all. All the invitations sent to her home were politely declined by Ye Xi.

In order to facilitate communication, the seating arrangement is that each couple sits next to the couple of the same sex. For example, on Ye Xi's left is Pei Zhu, on the right is the wife of another couple, and on Pei Zhu's left is the husband of another couple. Sitting next to Ye Xi is the wife of Li Sheng, a famous local merchant in Suzhou City. She calls her Madam Li.

The banquet was quite lively, and Yang Jian arranged many dancers to dance or play music to liven up the atmosphere. Ye Xi thought these performances were amazing. Even as an outsider, she knew that it would take a long time to practice to such a level, and she was very excited to watch. Ye Xi didn't understand business, so she hardly paid attention to what the men talked about.

Mrs. Li was similar to her. She even thought that the topics of men were boring. Seeing Ye Xi watching the singing and dancing with relish, she couldn't help but talk to Ye Xi. Ye Xi was actually not used to this kind of social occasion. There were too many rules. She decided to just come here to eat and drink, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to socialize.

Mrs. Li's topics were nothing more than needlework and raising children. After all, Mrs. Li was a few years older than Ye Xi and had two children. Ye Xi was not good at needlework, so she could only respond casually to Mrs. Li's topics. Seeing that Ye Xi was not interested, Mrs. Li changed the topic to raising children, which made Ye Xi even more at a loss.

Mrs. Li then realized that Ye Xi and Pei Zhu had been married for more than a year and a half but still had no children, so she reminded Ye Xi that she should give birth to a son as soon as possible to marry him, so as not to be seduced by a seductress outside. Ye Xi felt that Mrs. Li in front of her was really a social bull, talking about these things to someone she met for the first time, so in order to avoid embarrassment, she left on the pretext of going to the toilet.

When Ye Xi followed the maid of Yunmoju out, she suddenly felt that this scene was familiar. Why did she have to go to the toilet every time she went to Yang Jian's place? She remembered that she heard a secret on the way back from the toilet last time. I wonder if it will be the same this time? But after a while, she shook her head. What was she thinking? How could there be so many secrets for her to know? As the saying goes, the more you know, the faster you die. Even if there is, it is better for her not to know.
