Chapter 297

Yuan Yunzhong had arranged for Song Jiyun's accommodation near Xiangfu Temple in Pocket Alley. It was only a Shichen Chinese Time's journey from Chaoyang Gate. However, Yuan Yunzhong's residence in West Jiangmi Alley lay to the east, while hers was to the south; passing through half of Capital City would take at least two Shichen. Traveling to the kiln factories down Diagonal Street No. 2 Alley was even further. Yet, it was very close to the Manufacturing Office where she needed to conduct her business—a mere fifteen minutes by sedan chair.

Wang Hua pointed out the way as he spoke, "You see, over there is the Alcohol and Vinegar Bureau, and next to it, the Weaving and Beam Bureau. Not to mention the Manufacturing Office, The Twenty-Four Yamen are all on this side. Even many Chief Eunuchs' privately purchased properties are mostly located here."
