There are many absurd things in this world, but this is the first time Su Ruyan has encountered something so absurd.
Who borrows money from their wife right after getting married?
The thought that this absurd act would spread throughout the world, making her a laughingstock, brought a resolute glint to Su Ruyan's eyes, as if she had become even more determined in her resolve...
Seeing that Su Ruyan remained silent, Qin Chuan realized that he had been presumptuous and should not have asked for money in front of so many people.
If you're going to borrow, borrow it privately...
So he lowered his head and said, "Wife, I was just kidding, hehe..."
Seeing that the situation was about to become too awkward to handle, he simply pretended to be stupid and chuckled like his predecessor.
Whether it was due to muscle memory or his exceptional acting talent, his smile made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and they no longer found the matter surprising.
"What's so strange about borrowing money from your own wife!"
"I never thought he would actually marry Miss Su. I almost forgot he was Qin the Fool!"
"A fool is a fool; nothing he does is surprising!"
While everyone was discussing this, Su Ruyan slowly spoke to Qin Chuan, "What do you need money for?"
Qin Chuan pointed to a flower stall in the market and said sincerely, "Today is my wedding day with my wife. I want to buy her a lotus flower. My wife is so charming, she will look even more beautiful with fresh flowers."
He spoke with such sincerity that even the onlookers were somewhat moved.
"This fool may be a bit simple-minded, but he's also incredibly devoted..."
"That's right, this fool is a bit pitiful, but he's not a bad person at heart..."
"Yes, I've never seen him hurt anyone, he's just annoying because of his silly appearance!"
Su Ruyan seemed not to hear the whispers around her. She smiled helplessly, then took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Chuan: "Take it."
So many?
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised. He only wanted Su Ruyan to lend him two coins, but he didn't expect Su Ruyan to give him a piece of silver directly. Although Qin Chuan didn't know how much this piece of silver was worth based on his current understanding of this world, he felt that it could definitely be exchanged for a few strings of copper coins.
"Thank you, my wife!"
Qin Chuan took the loose silver coins to the flower shop, where the flower seller was an old man dressed as the God of Love.
When the old man saw someone coming to buy flowers, he quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "Congratulations, groom! Are you here to buy flowers?"
The stall in front of me displayed beautiful lotus flowers, all freshly picked. The pink blossoms were adorned with green leaves, making them look delicate and lovely.
"Old man, could you please check if this little bit of silver is enough to buy all the flowers you have here?"
Qin Chuan handed over the loose silver he had just borrowed from Su Ruyan. At this moment, the onlookers also gathered around, eager to see the excitement.
Su Ruyan was also drawn to Qin Chuan's actions and followed him.
The old flower seller smiled and took the piece of silver. He held it in his palm and examined it carefully. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, this piece of silver is worth about seven qian. I spend two wen a flower. This piece of silver is more than enough to buy my flowers. I'll even need to give you change!"
"Grandpa, no need to look anymore, I'll take all these flowers," Qin Chuan said, pointing to the entire flower stall.
The old man hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you so much, young master! You are such a kind person! To be honest, I got up before dawn to pick flowers, but I haven't sold a single one yet. None of the women will buy flowers to give to the groom..."
Qin Chuan was curious after hearing the old man's words. Why was it a woman buying flowers for a man?
He then went out and asked the old man.
The old man said, "In this day and age, there are more women than men, so it's natural for women to buy flowers for men. I've never seen anyone like you before, young master..."
Qin Chuan was somewhat taken aback, but he didn't say anything. He simply picked up a handful of lotus flowers, walked up to Su Ruyan, and handed the flowers to her.
"My wife, these flowers are for you. I hope they will make you happy."
Su Ruyan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise. This fool was actually willing to buy flowers for her. Although it was her money, as a man, he was willing to buy flowers for a woman, which showed his thoughtfulness.
Thinking of all this, Su Ruyan did not refuse and silently accepted the lotus flower.
She buried her head and smelled a faint fragrance of lotus, and for a moment she had a feeling that she couldn't quite describe...
Is it joy or relief?
It doesn't seem to be either of those, but my mood seems to have inexplicably improved.
"good!"
"good!"
Someone started clapping and cheering.
This scene aroused jealousy in several female onlookers, who whispered among themselves.
"It's always been women who give flowers to men, but seeing this fool giving flowers to Miss Su, I'm actually a little envious..."
"That's right, we women are all afraid of not being able to get married. Even if the men in our families have countless concubines, we still have to coax them..."
"Last month, I gave my husband a bouquet of flowers. He asked what was the use of buying them, whether they could be eaten or drunk, and asked me why I didn't work harder so that he could live in a bigger house!"
"Alas, we women have such a hard life..."
As Qin Chuan listened to the whispers around him, his heart was already churning with turmoil.
Has this society, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:5, really become like this?
That sounds absolutely amazing!
Holding a lotus flower in one hand, Su Ruyan's mood inexplicably improved, and she couldn't help but tug at Qin Chuan's sleeve: "Don't waste money on me anymore..."
Qin Chuan directly refused, saying, "You are my wife, so naturally I must pamper you. From now on, I will spend even more money on you..."
Su Ruyan paused, then said, "But you're spending my money..."
Qin Chuan: "..."
After a moment of silence, Qin Chuan questioned the system in his mind:
"Why hasn't the money arrived yet? Could it be because I didn't spend my own money, and they're not honoring my payment?"
"System! System! Give me an explanation!"
Just then, the system's voice sounded.
[The host spent 0.72 taels of silver on his wife this time, and now he is getting a 100-fold return, which can be withdrawn as 72 taels of silver.]
[It can also be converted into modern goods]
[Would you prefer ancient silver or modern goods?]
Qin Chuan listened to the system's report and realized that the old flower seller hadn't lied to him; the piece of silver was indeed worth about seven qian.
After receiving a 100x cashback, you can actually get 72 taels of silver.
Converted to modern goods, the goods were worth more than 280,000 yuan.
"System, show me what modern supplies are available?"
The system quickly displayed a modern goods mall, just like Taobao and Pinduoduo, where everything that can be bought online is available.
"Wow! They have everything! We can even save on shipping!" Qin Chuan exclaimed in amazement.
