Chapter 102 - 101: The Second Visit to the Little Shop
Jinrong, who had slandered Jiang Yifan, was indifferent to the other’s attitude and remained languid, "How can it not be related? After you heard the great idea from someone else, you immediately wanted to shirk them off and start your own cattle farm to earn silver and achieve political merits. Isn’t that shameless?"
Jiang Yifan, holding his teacup, paused for a moment and said with a frown, "Ye Xinyan has already said that she only wants cow’s milk. Once the cattle farm is set up, we can just supply her family’s shop directly with it. Why force her to do something unnecessary? Moreover, that is not something a woman of her standing should be handling. If she messes it up and loses silver, that’s a minor issue, but it would be a complete waste of valuable time."
Jinrong burst into laughter, "So, are you considering your ex-wife’s interest now?"
Hearing Jinrong speak like this, Jiang Yifan felt uncomfortable all over. Thinking about the future cultivation of Qingyuan County and how it couldn’t proceed without the cattle managed by Ye Xinyan, he felt even more displeased.
"Forget it, since you, Sixth Master, have already decided to let Ye Xinyan set up the cattle farm, just treat it as one of Sixth Master’s enterprises and manage it well. I came here planning to serve the court with my abilities, with or without large-scale cattle breeding, I can still be recognized for excellence within three years. As for you, Sixth Master, thinking about the prosperity of Yuyuan Prefecture in the future, you really have taken on a lot of work."
"Is that really necessary? So petty," Jinrong said with a slant of his eye, giving Jiang Yifan a cutting comment.
Jiang Yifan lowered his head to drink his tea and no longer bothered with him.
After some thought, Jinrong reached out to nudge Jiang Yifan and asked, "Hey, don’t you find it strange about Ye Xinyan? In the capital, she was really thoughtless and arrogant. How is it that since she left Duke An’s Mansion, she’s suddenly become so astute after her circumstances worsened? Could the luxurious life in the capital really make people that daft?"
