Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 60 Part 2: Covering the Capital with Flowers

“Too little?” Jiang Jing Rui touched his nose. “This is already everything that I possess. My mother doesn’t usually give me much money, if you really need, I can still look for my older brother. But a few tens of banknotes is too difficult.”

Jiang Li shook her head. The people who’d entered Ming Yi Hall were daughters of government officials, how could they lack this bit of silver. Moreover, the current issue was not about silver. In Ming Yi Hall, apart from Liu Xu, practically all the people attending Ming Yi Hall were all enemies. Whoever helped Jiang Li would be the enemy of the entire Ming Yi hall. Except for Liu Xu, the silly girl, who would do such a thing?

Furthermore, she would certainly lose very miserably. This was a fact that all the people in Yanjing had tacitly agreed to.

“Miss,” From the side, Tong’er’s eyes suddenly brightened: “If talking about silver, young master Ye surely has a lot. How about we ask him?”

Jiang Li was stumped for words while Jiang Jing Rui from the other side also reacted. He spoke excitedly, “Not bad, that elder cousin of yours is a person from the Ye family, should not be lacking in silver. Didn’t you just help him recently? If you look for him, he certainly won’t refuse your request.”

Tong’er and Jiang Jing Rui simultaneously looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li was silent for a while before she said: “Let it go, he is also going to take part in the Imperial College’s examination. At this time, being bothered with my affair is not a sensible thing to do.”

If Jiang Li requested help from Ye Shijie at this time, Ye Shijie would look down on her. In addition, the matter between Ye Shijie and Li Lian had not been made clear. Jiang Li truly didn’t wish to expose the good relationship she had with Ye Shijie now.

In fact, the best method was to pass the exam this time around. Ye Shijie amazed the world with a single brilliant feat while she equally became famous in one move. Whatever things happened afterwards, let nature take its course. When conditions are right, success will follow naturally, it couldn’t be better.

Jiang Li said: “The six arts, calligraphy, music, etiquette, mathematics, riding, and shooting. To get the top spot, it’s best to be first in all of them.”

Jiang Jing Rui said: “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Jiang Li calculated, calligraphy should be writing documents. It’s something that she was good at since young. Music should be playing the guqin. In her previous life, her seven notes qin was about the same as Xiao Deyin, so it’s not too difficult. Etiquette would be even simpler with her outstanding memory. Besides, she had gone through it before. Mathematics should be business calculations. There was no female in the house since she was young so she was the housekeeper and managed the household. Riding would be horse riding, she had also practiced this with Xue Zhao before and was applauded. Shooting would be archery, she had gone hunting, shot a sparrow and ate game.

These things were once integrated into her life and became a common thing in everyday life. But at Ming Yi Hall, at Yanjing, these were plated with a layer of gold and became the noble ladies’ grand “assignments”

In her previous life, when she arrived at Yanjing she thought that she must not act ostentatiously and exercise restraint as much as possible. Still she received the reputation of the number one talented woman and the first beauty. In this lifetime, having the Jiang family’s shield and an honorable identity, she was naturally secure in the knowledge that she had a backing.

Covering the capital with flowers was just a common saying, but she planned to achieve that.

This battle, she was sure to become famous in this land under heaven.
