Epilogue

Jinling in August, 

The scorching hot of the summer heat gradually decreased, the sunlight within the autumn breeze was still the same brilliant as in summer. This kind of weather, Qinhuai River appeared to be even more immeasurably impressive, leading the scholars, officials, fair maidens, noble ladies from the city one after another left the city to go sight-seeing.

Momentarily, the center of Jinling City, each and every major district, once cleared away the scattered under the summer blazing sun scenery, had become a lively and exuberant street. Along the way, the stores' business, compared to normal time was also increased three, four fold.

Feng Shi Shop was a medium-sized cloth store that was not far from the Qinhuai River. At this moment, the boss, Long Shao You, was standing in the courtyard behind the store, watching the prosperous sight of the front-desk shop assistants busily served the madames and young ladies. Upon the thought of on this month's business account book would have not a little increasing digit, on that ordinary mediocre face, a brilliant smile appeared in an instant.

"Feng Young Master...... " While Long Shao You was being happy in the secret, the corner of his eyes caught sight of his cloth shop's manager, Lao* Jiang, hurriedly strode to his place.

(*T/N : the 老 'Lao' here is used as a prefix in terms of address before the surnames to indicate informality.)

"What is it, Lao Jiang?" The business was good, the boss of course would be in a good mood, to the point even talking with his subordinate was also with smile gracing his face.

Lao Jiang unexpectedly couldn't emit a smile, he lowered his voice, whole face with a mysterious look, moved closer to Long Shao You's ear : "Feng Young Master, that person comes again."

In that instant, Long Shao You's complexion changed ---a moment before, it was still the bright sunny sky of the spring in March, in this moment, had become the flying snow in severly cold winter.

"Quick, tell him that I'm not here." In a daze for a while, Long Shao You while whispering in a low voice, was trying to covertly turn his body intended to hide inside the room. However, it was already too late, because the guest already went through the shop in big strides, coming into this backyard where he was standing at the moment.

Be radiant with smiles, refined in manner, young man dressed in grandeur material of silk long robe ---precisely the wealthiest in the world, the heir of Yang Clan of Yangzhou, Yang Zhi Jian, also known as Boss Yang.

"Boss Feng is about to go to where?" Yang Zhi Jian was smiling radiantly while greeting Long Shao You, the pretty features completely couldn't be seen the so called 'Jin Yan Luo', the overlord of the business world character.

"Ha......Haha...... It's nothing, nothing. Just that today's wind is strong, just want to go back to the room to add more layer of clothing...... Brother* Yang how could be so free today, to again come to my humble store......" Long Shao You hiccuped, could be said as swallowing down that impolite "whatever for" two words.

(*T/N : Long Shao You is addressing Yang Zhi Jian as elder brother, due to courtesy since Yang Zhi Jian is actually younger than Long Shao You.)

Ever since that incident on that Qinhuai River Pleasure Boat, the disgraced to the utmost degree Long Shao You felt that he no longer had the face to meet Yang Zhi Jian. Persistently this 'Jin Yan Luo' was not the least bit sensible, to one's surprise after that time still wanted to come to Feng Shi Shop every few days.
