Chapter 204 Cold War
Su Wan turned back and went to the yard next door with his uncle to take a look. He thought it was good, so he gave his uncle a banknote and asked him to buy the yard and then take care of the connection.
After asking some questions, Su Wan was actually afraid to see Jiang Yu again because she wanted to know what his answers were.
Girls are prone to worrying about gains and losses. If they don't think about all those messy things when encountering love matters, that would be abnormal. Either they don't like the person enough, or they don't understand what love means.
Su Wan then went to Yuyan Hall and went back after a busy day. Yesterday's gift boxes had been sold out, and today's business was not as good as yesterday, but there were still quite a few customers.
When she returned home at night, she entered the house with trepidation, only to find that the guy had moved out and no longer lived in the Su family.
Su Wan began to reflect on whether what he said in the morning was too harsh?
But what she feared more was her own self-indulgence.
Su's mother was puzzled as to why Jiang Yu left without saying goodbye. She should have cooked him a good meal before leaving.
But if the guards guarding the door were not still there, they would really think he was gone. Su's mother asked Su Wan to ask the reason and whether there was something urgent, but as proud as Su Wan was, she would not take the initiative to ask.
Su Chen went to ask later, and the guards only said that they had not left Xiangzhou, which meant they were still in the city, so they must be in the Moon Full West Tower.
Su Wan did not regret making things clear with him. If he was sincere, he would think it through and then explain.
The next day, she went to a pawnshop and bought two maids to do the cleaning, two servants to guard the door, and two maids in the kitchen who would be responsible for cooking and washing clothes in the future. She also planned to choose a maid that she liked to serve herself.
She asked the maid at the pawnshop if there was anyone who knew some martial arts. As a woman in this ancient and strange world, she always had to have a maid to serve her when she went out to do business. Knowing some martial arts would not put her at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately, the slave trader only sells slaves. But what if these slaves learn kung fu and it backfires on them in the future?
Each of them is full of resentment, but they just look obedient. If we teach them martial arts and encounter bad kids, wouldn't that be helping the evil?
Forget it, if I can’t find one that suits me, I might as well not choose.
However, she suddenly remembered that in the original novel, the heroine also needed a maid who knew kung fu to protect her personally, so she went to the black market slave market to buy slaves. The slaves there were of all kinds of backgrounds, and some were specially trained to be thugs, just to cater to the needs of the rich and sell them at a high price.
However, the female slaves who came from those places had survived the dire straits, so their minds would not be absolutely pure, and therefore they were difficult to tame. But once tamed, they would be loyal to the king.
Of course she didn't dare go to the black market alone, let alone the slave market, so she planned to ask her third brother to accompany her.
When Su Chen heard that his sister was going to the slave market, he was very shocked. It was better not to get involved in such a place, and he didn't want his sister to get involved.
But I also heard that she wanted two maids who knew martial arts to protect her closely, so I came up with what I thought was a good idea:
"How about this? You wait at home. If you trust Third Brother, I'll go pick one for you. I'm a martial artist, so I'll make sure to pick out the best for you."
This is also fine. In fact, Su Wan trusted his third brother very much, so he nodded and handed the matter over to him. He also gave him two hundred taels of silver notes and asked him to make sure to choose the best one. For the sake of quality, even if there is only one, it will be fine.
Su Chen took the money and went to do the work without any hesitation.
At the same time, Su Wan also settled the newly bought slaves and servants. They were all considered as menial workers, so they didn't cost much money to buy.
There were usually not many guests at home, so the two maids not only had to take care of the courtyard, but were also responsible for making tea.
In the afternoon, Su Wan went to Yuyan Hall. Yang Qingqing was looking at the account book and learning to do it for her. However, this was just a draft for practice, and the real account book could not be made for her yet.
After reading it, Su Wan was quite satisfied. Probably because her uncle had taught her at home, she remembered every stroke clearly and her handwriting was very neat.
However, Su Wan herself didn't understand the abacus, so she gave her the multiplication table and asked her to memorize it.
Yang Qingqing felt that the multiplication table was really interesting. It actually made people suddenly enlightened when it came to arithmetic. After memorizing it, it was as if the formulas were remembered in her mind, making her mental arithmetic faster.
She had something else to tell Su Wan, that is, the marriage that her family had asked the matchmaker to arrange for her had already been finalized. They had found several families in Xiangzhou City that were well-matched. Each family had its own business and a simple family structure. After Yang Qingqing got married, she would not have to maintain those messy relationships, nor would she have to worry about her livelihood.
"The matchmaker has arranged two marriages for me. They've already seen my portrait and thought I'd be suitable, so they've arranged for a meeting. I want you to go with me and help me look."
She asked Su Wan to accompany her. Su Wan should be happy, but the problem was that she was an unmarried girl and it was not appropriate for her to go to such an occasion, but she couldn't refuse Yang Qingqing.
"Where are you guys meeting?"
"At Chen's Tavern." Yang Qingqing replied.
"Are you alone?"
"There are also matchmakers who are trying to bring us together, but they are all very eloquent and can even make someone dead come alive. I'm afraid they'll be tricked into doing so."
Yang Qingqing was also smart and knew to find an outsider to check.
She had been to Chen's Tavern before. There were bamboo curtains separating each seat, making it quite private.
"Well, I won't show up with you. Instead, I'll eavesdrop from the table next to you. After all, I'm not engaged yet, so it's not appropriate for me to show up in this kind of situation."
Yang Qingqing nodded quickly, and the two sisters reached an agreement.
This was already the fourth day that Jiang Yu had been hiding, and he hadn't shown up. Although Su Wan tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, making herself even more anxious, she felt that she had said something too harsh, and hesitated whether she should take the initiative to find him and talk to him again.
But then she felt that she was not wrong. She just wanted a definite answer. Was it that difficult?
After thinking about it, she only became more depressed. She secretly swore in her heart that if he didn't show up in half a month, he would be out.
In the past few days, the dark circles under Su Wan's eyes have become deeper. Su's mother thought that she was too busy recently and therefore had trouble sleeping. She got a medicinal pillow from somewhere for her to sleep on at night. But Su Wan was not tired at all. She was indeed busy, busy with wild thoughts, and in reality she did not do much physical work.
Su Wan used powder to cover her dark circles, and put on lip balm to improve her complexion before going to the place where Yang Qingqing was going on a blind date.
