Chapter 251 How can there be so many things in the world that can be known in advance?
The clerk didn't expect her to buy anything, but since everyone was a customer, he still had to do his job. When he saw that she chose four pieces of soap, he stuttered and told her the price again, fearing that she would misunderstand.
"Miss, this is five cents of silver."
"I know. Please pack these four pieces separately for me." Then he took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to him.
The waiter was a little dazed when he took the silver. Even if she was a lady from a wealthy family, she would not be so generous as to buy so many soaps at one time.
Wen Zhenyi can also make scented soap, which is much better than the ones sold in stores now. However, there is no soap for her to use now. However, she can consider it after the pig farm grows to a certain scale.
The waiter wrapped four pieces of fragrant soap for her, tied them with a rope and handed them to her, with a smile on his face that became even brighter: "Take care, girl. Come often when you have time."
Wen Zhenyi was carrying things and walking around here and there. Someone was following him, and no one knew what their purpose was.
She ignored it for the time being. Since the timing was not right, they probably wouldn't take action here.
After figuring out this relationship, she no longer cared about the person following her and returned to the Ma family with her things.
Old Ma and the others had already returned, their faces showing no emotion, which puzzled Wen Zhenyi: "Grandma."
"You're back, are you tired?"
Geng Ru came out of the kitchen: "Yi Yi, have you eaten yet?"
"Aunt, I've already eaten." After saying that, she sat down next to Old Madam Ma and stuffed the fragrant soap in her hand into her arms: "Gift."
Old Ma looked at the thing in her hand and could still smell the fragrance emanating from it: "What is it?"
"Fragrant soap."
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she gasped: "Why did you buy such an expensive thing, kid?"
"well enough."
"This piece is five taels of silver, and you bought so much. Do you think it's too easy to make money?"
Wen Zhen touched his nose and said, "Not bad."
Geng Ru hurried over after hearing this. Seeing the four pieces of fragrant soap in Old Lady Ma's arms, her face turned pale: "This is two taels of silver."
"I made money today."
“How much money can you make?”
"About seven or eight hundred taels."
This sentence stopped Geng Ru and Old Lady Ma from lecturing her. They looked at her in disbelief and asked, "How much?"
"Seven or eight hundred taels."
"Why so many?" Old Mrs. Ma frowned.
"This is an auction banquet, not something I forced you to buy or sell." Wen Zhenyi immediately clarified.
Old Ma remembered that she had to prepare a feast for County Magistrate Lei tomorrow and asked, "How much will you collect tomorrow?"
"One ounce of silver."
Old Mrs. Ma breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was really afraid that Wen Zhenyi would ask for too much money, which would bring her unnecessary trouble.
Wen Zhenyi knew that they were worried about him, so he would do things differently for each person: "Grandma, I won't charge more."
Old Ma looked at the fragrant soap in her arms and said, "Don't buy such expensive things next time. You can buy a stone of refined rice and still have some left over."
"Okay. How about you guys go propose marriage today?"
Old Lady Ma looked at Geng Ru, and they both sighed, "This girl doesn't want to."
"Why?"
"She said she didn't want to drag down your cousin, or anyone else."
Wen Zhenyi could also understand: "What does the eldest cousin mean?"
"Your uncle will talk to him again to see what he means."
Wen Zhenyi felt that her cousin would not give up so easily. If he could give up so easily, he might have compromised on the first day when her aunt and others objected.
Sure enough, just as she thought this, Ma Yuruo came out and said, "Mom, I'm going out for a while." After that, she rushed out of the house without looking back.
Geng Ru looked at Ma Can who came out and asked, "He still won't give up?"
Ma Can nodded vigorously: "If he gave up so easily, he wouldn't be my son."
Geng Ru didn't know what to say.
Wen Zhenyi was not worried, as he knew nothing serious would happen to Axiang over there.
Old Man Ma was sitting under the eaves, tickling Cream, who was lying on his lap: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Old Lady Ma glanced at him and said, "I hope they are all blessed."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Of course I am blessed. As the saying goes, good things take time."
When Ma Yuruo came back, he reeked of alcohol and sat in the yard.
Geng Ru saw this and wanted to leave, but Ma Can stopped her: "Let Yu Ruo be alone for a while."
"But...."
Wen Zhenyi came out of the kitchen with a bowl of food and pushed it in front of Ma Yuruo: "Cousin, have something to drink."
Ma Yuruo's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were a little blurry, and her voice was drunken: "Cousin, why, why did she reject me? I, I just wanted to take care of them."
Wen Zhenyi pushed the bowl in front of him: "Cousin, do you sympathize with her, or do you really like her?"
Ma Yuruo shook her dizzy head and said, "Is there any difference?"
"Of course she does. She doesn't need your sympathy. It would make her feel like a burden. If you really like her, you should express your feelings."
Ma Yuruo seemed to have figured something out: "I, I understand. I, I'll go now."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the man who couldn't even stand up and said: "The city gate is closed today, why don't you go tomorrow."
Ma Yuruo fell on the stool again and almost fell to the ground: "You, you are right, you make sense."
Wen Zhenyi shouted towards the dark place: "Second cousin, don't hide and peek there, come and help send eldest cousin back to his room to rest."
Ma Yushun walked out from the darkness and touched his nose awkwardly: "How did you find me?"
"Is it difficult to find you?"
Ma Yushun's mouth twitched, and he looked at the bowl on the table: "Should I give my brother this hangover soup?"
Wen Zhenyi looked at Ma Yuruo, who was lying unconscious on the table and said, "It's impossible to get it in now."
Ma Yushun bent down and helped Ma Yuruo up, almost causing him to fall down with him: "When did my brother become so heavy?"
"It's more serious when a person is unconscious."
Ma Yushun steadied himself, put one of his arms on his shoulders, put his other arm around his waist, helped him steady, and carried him into the room.
Wen Zhenyi watched the two brothers leave, then returned to the kitchen with the hangover soup: "Looks like I'll have to give it to him tomorrow."
Geng Ru and the others felt sad again when they saw the people leaving the yard: "If we had arranged his marriage earlier, wouldn't there be so much trouble?"
Ma Can patted her shoulder: "How can there be so many things that can be known in advance in this world?"
