Marriage of the Di Daughter |LK ADAPTATION|

5. Merchant

Another ten days passed.

Jiang Lisa quickly adapted to the harsh life on the mountain. Although she had endless work to do every day, could not eat her fill, slept in a damp place, and was often bullied, Jiang Lisa quickly adapted to it.

Perhaps she was too quiet and obedient these days. For the first time, the nunnery's head nun, Jing An, took the initiative to come and see her.

Head Nun Jing An was a young woman in her twenties. It was said that she had once been the wife of a rich family. After her husband died, she went to the mountain and had her hair shaved to become a Buddhist nun.

A few days ago, Jiang Lisa had noisily demanded to go back to Yanjing after hearing the matter of Marquis Ning Yuan's young master's marriage, and almost fought with Head Nun Jing An.

Head Nun Jing An came over and glanced at Jiang Lisa, said a few polite words of concern and then left without giving them a single thing.

Tong'er placed her hands on her hips and spat at the departing back of Head Nun Jing An, saying, "Pah! Stingy old woman!"

Jiang Lisa smiled and said, "She is much younger than an old woman."

In reality, Head Nun Jing An was only in her twenties. Although she was wearing a grey robe, it couldn't hide her slender and graceful figure. Furthermore, her appearance was exquisite. It was just that her attitude towards the two of them was somewhat condescending.

"What's the use of being young?" Tong'er pursed her lips, "She's already a nun here. Does she have a choice other than serving Buddha for the rest of her life? Can she eat meat or wear pretty dresses?"

"I don't know if she eats meat, but she definitely eats better meals than the two of us. Whether she wears or doesn't wear pretty dresses, her Buddhist robe is definitely thicker than ours," Jiang Lisa replied.

"Hateful!" Tong'er was furious.

"Not only that," Jiang Lisa continued explaining to her. "Although she wasn't wearing jewelry, she used Yanjing's Apricot Spring workshop's cosmetics, Red Sleeve house's silver case fragrant ointment, also the osmanthus flower hair oil from Fragrant Refined Building."

Tong'er's jaw dropped, and only after a long time did she say, "This is... Isn't it too fancy?! That's not right," she came back to her senses and stared at Jiang Lisa with sparkling eyes, "How did young miss know?"

Jiang Lisa pointed a finger at her nose and said, "Smelled it."

"This servant knows that the young miss smelled it. This servant wants to ask, how did the young miss know that it was the Apricot Spring Workshop's cosmetics, the silver case fragrant ointment of the Red Sleeve house, and the osmanthus flower hair oil of the Fragrant Refined Building?"

Jiang Lisa thought, of course she knew. When she had just married Shen Jeahyun and arrived at Yanjing, the Shen family had despised her because she was a young girl from a small county in Tongxiang. Even a few female relatives1 and Shen Jeahyun's mother had looked down on her. She was afraid that she would embarrass Shen Jeahyun, so she worked hard to learn the popular clothing and accessories of the madams and young ladies in Yanjing, and slowly corrected her accent.

She had always been a fast learner. Xue Huaiyuan once said that if she wasn't a girl, she, together with Xue Taehyung, might be able to bring fame and honor to the Xue family name.

It was not possible for second miss Jiang who hadn't gone down the mountain for 7 years to know these products. However, she was able to accurately distinguish them.
