“Boatman, is there a silk warehouse or a clothing shop on the island?” the nobleman asked.

The boatman replied, “I’m afraid there’s nothing of that sorts on the island. There is a philanthropist, though, who opened a charity shop. Usually, if someone fell into the lake, they can change their clothes there.”

After the boat touched down the shore, the nobleman went straight to the charity shop and Ye Jiayao followed him aimlessly. Her delicious meal plan depended on him, so naturally, she followed him closely.

It wasn’t long after before the nobleman had transformed into an average civilian dude in yellow linen clothes. Since he has long legs, the pants were too short for him. The cropped pants look was too hilarious, Ye Jiayao couldn’t stop laughing uncontrollably after seeing him.

The son of nobility was terribly disgusted. “What a terrible charity shop! It costs 500 grams of coppers just to get this ragged clothing,” he said depressingly.

Thinking about the cheap clothes that only cost her a few hundred copper coins, she felt proud of herself. She didn’t need good clothing if it was going to cost that much.

“It’s all your fault! If you didn’t tear my clothes, I wouldn’t have any reason to wear this garbage,” the nobleman complained. Hell, even my horse-keeper wears better clothes than this.

“For such a big man, you sure are such a sissy! Don’t you get frustrated from talking about these tiny little insignificant details? All you toffs are so squeamish and spoilt! One tiny little thing that doesn’t go your way and you think that the sky has fallen apart! What if, one day, you can’t depend on your family anymore? What would you do then, huh?” Ye Jiayao ranted angrily. Although the kid was a lot taller than her, he looked very much younger than her. He doesn’t even have a full beard!

“A true man needs to know when to yield. What is wrong with wearing linen clothing? Does it really kill you to wear it? There are so many people in the world that don’t even have linen clothes to wear! There are families who make do with one pants for all of them. You are quite lucky compared to them, so stop whining about it!” Ye Jiayao was fully aware that she was acting like a big sister, but she couldn’t help it. She just couldn’t bear how rotten this young man was acting.

It was the first time that the nobleman had heard of such things. “I don’t think that’s true. Only one pants to wear for the whole family? How could they even wear it?”

Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows, challenging him. “How? The person who needs to go out wears it and the others just hide in the bed sheets.”

“You must be making that up.” The son of nobility could not picture such a scene.

“That’s because there are only a few places that you have been. You haven’t seen much of the world. Just because you haven’t seen it, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

The pretty phoenix eyes of the nobleman lost its fire as he grudgingly said, “You talk as if you’ve seen many parts of the world. You look the same age as me, how much experience could you possibly have had?”

“Of course, I haven’t had more experience than you in the rich families, but I certainly understand more about the poor families,” Ye Jiayao said haughtily.

As they talked, they made their way inside an eight-sided, grandeur ancient pavilion. Ye Jiayao raised her head and saw ‘Li Xia Pavilion’ written on the awning and a feeling of historical significance washed over her. She thought of the poem that was left as the old Du drank here with the protector of the north sea, Li Yongyan.  Please, let the sea protect this pavilion. There are many famous people in Ji Nan. Although, I don’t think there’s an old Du yet at this time.
