Sister-in-law Chen said to Chu Yue: "Sister, I'm in the lotus, old Chen's house. If you have anything to do, come to me."
Chu Yue said in surprise: "Sister, aren't you from Lao Yangjiatun?"
Auntie Chen smiled and said: "Sister, I was short of time just now, so I didn't tell you that my family has moved to the county town. I have opened a blacksmith shop here. I make some iron cavalry, horse shoes and so on for people."
Jiangyang City's strength is not small, comparable to some local state capitals, but it is an important county around the capital.
Chu Yue memorized the route and then said goodbye to Mrs. Chen.
Chu Yue thought about it and went to a small tea shop first, where she sat down to rest and inquire about something.
The tea shop set up an extra shed on the street. It was a bit crowded, but it was very clean. There were two children in colorful clothes who were dedicated to shooing away flies so as not to disturb the customers and delay business.
Chu Yue ordered a pot of tea, a plate of fennel beans, a plate of fried sesame oil fruits, and a bowl of noodles.
She ate slowly and listened to the people around her.
"You have heard that the general is extremely powerful now. I heard that he even brought a group of beauties with him when he went to the battlefield."
"Yes, I feel so carefree hugging you from left to right."
"His princess died suddenly, maybe how she died suddenly, look at this situation, tsk tsk..."
"Stop talking nonsense, be careful. There are ears across the street. If the patrolmen find out, they won't invite you to the squad room for tea."
"Yes, let's talk about something else. I heard that there is another oiran in Cuihua House. That figure, that appearance, that... she is simply a rare beauty in the world."
"You can't sell yourself."
"Screw you, I'm a fairy. Naturally, I'm just a showman, not my body. A rude person like you doesn't even have to look at her."
"cut--"
"I heard that the painting studio is going to be opened tonight, and everyone will be delighted."
Chu Yue looked over.
The man glanced at her and said, "Hey, my sister-in-law is also interested in this."
Chu Yue's face was dirty, and he was a little contemptuous.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "What is a painting hall?"
The man curled his lips.
Another person said: "Sister-in-law, it's useless for you to go. That's Miss Zhao Feixian's special place. It's sensational. The money is like running water, and the beauty is like flowers and jade..."
That posture meant that Chu Yue would die of embarrassment if he left.
