Chapter 302: Female Bully
"You asked me for money?" Huo Yaoxing looked at Wen Ruyue in surprise.
In his previous life, Wen Yan earned money for him to spend.
Since marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, Wen Yan has never spent a penny of the Mansion's money. Even the money she earned was used by him to manage relationships.
There has never been a complaint for more than ten years.
Now, less than a year after Wen Ruyue got married, she started asking him for money.
He now felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have given up Wen Yan and chosen her just because Wen Ruyue was stupid and easy to control.
The more he thought about Wen Yan's care and protection for Ying Zhilin, the more uncomfortable he felt.
However, he did not fall out with her because of this.
He forced a smile and asked Wen Ruyue, "How much do you want?"
Wen Ruyue blinked her eyes and said, "As a girl, the more the better."
Huo Yaoxing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to look at her pretentious appearance. He asked someone to give her a thousand taels of silver notes and said, "Whatever jewelry or head ornaments you like, just buy them."
How come it’s only one thousand taels!
Wen Ruyue pouted, secretly disliking Huo Yaoxing for being stingy.
In her previous life, the amount she was given was usually four, five, or even tens of thousands of taels.
But she still took it with a happy look on her face.
"Thank you, husband." Wen Ruyue gave Huo Yaoxing a big kiss on the face and ran away happily.
Huo Yaoxing didn't gain much, so Wen Ruyue turned around and had someone harness the carriage to go back to her parents' home.
Good things should be kept within the family. With such a good opportunity to make money, of course I should bring my family along.
As long as she holds most of the charcoal in her hands, she can become the new king of the capital.
The price of charcoal varies depending on its quality, burning time, and smoke production.
The charcoal that Wen Yan transported from thousands of miles away was of the highest quality.
Depending on the type, the price ranges from ten to one hundred coins per catty.
All the goods shipped this time are high-end goods, and the ordinary charcoal is being shipped slowly at the back.
Three days later, Wen Yan's first batch of charcoal was snatched away from Jing Mingmei by Wen Ruyue.
The charcoal merchants took the opportunity to raise prices.
Twenty thousand kilograms of charcoal were exchanged for 1,150 taels of silver and delivered to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan collected the money and gave each person a reward of one or two taels of silver. Then he asked the leader of the charcoal transporters, "How much charcoal is left? What's your plan? Are you going back to transport the rest now?"
The 'charcoal merchant' knew that the seemingly weak girl in front of him was their real boss.
It was she who gave life to these poor people in Jinyang Prefecture.
Many families barely survive because of their charcoal collection.
"Yidianmo" has become the most trusted store by the people in Jinyang Prefecture.
He immediately answered in detail: "Manager Lin has collected nearly one million kilograms of charcoal. He told us not to rush back after delivering the goods, but to wait until the main force reunites and then leave together."
"So much charcoal! How can it be delivered?" Wen Yan couldn't imagine how big a warehouse would be needed to store one million kilograms of charcoal.
The charcoal merchant said, "For the sake of speed, our first few batches were brought here by ox-drawn carts. The rest were brought here by hired carts, led by Manager Lin himself."
"Push them over here on a cart!" Pei'er was surprised. "Thousands of miles, how long will it take them to push the cart? Will the people be willing?"
The charcoal merchant said, "Why wouldn't I want to? Each person can get 150 kilograms of grains, or 300 kilograms of grain cakes, per trip. If a family lives frugally, it can last for more than half a year."
Everyone rushed to do it.
Those who didn’t get one were miserable.”
When I think about the fact that the people in Jinyang Prefecture couldn't even afford to eat, it seems reasonable that they would respond to such questions.
Since Uncle Lin and the others had already made arrangements, Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions.
Let them stay temporarily at the Meng family's farm, and everything will be discussed after the other charcoal arrives.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Meng Chifei and his friends arrived in Beijing.
Ying Zhilin asked for leave from the academy one day in advance and accompanied Wen Yan to meet Meng Chifei.
Arrival day.
Ying Zhilin got up very early.
He took out all his clothes and picked and chose, but still couldn't find anything he was satisfied with.
Finally, he asked Wen Yan to give him advice.
Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin, then at the other clothes, and first picked out those with intricate designs and patterns: "Your appearance is already stunning. If you wear fancy clothes, you will appear too delicate and feminine."
She picked out a plain-woven dark green long gown, changed the inner garment to black, and chose a Danxia red palace belt as her belt, and paired it with a jade pendant.
"Here, this is it. Change it and show it to me. I can change it if it doesn't fit."
"Okay." Ying Zhilin held the clothes and went behind the screen.
Soon, the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other could be heard from behind the screen.
Wen Yan was sitting by the window drinking tea. When she heard the sound, she looked over and saw white skin, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and long arms and legs faintly visible behind the translucent screen.
He draped his clothes over the screen, leaning forward, his chest pressed against the thin silk of the screen.
The blurry chest suddenly became clear.
The plump chest muscles are about to burst out, as if they will break through the confinement of the silk cloth in the next second.
This scene is really erotic.
Wen Yan felt a heat on the tip of her nose and touched it. Fortunately, she was not bleeding.
Realizing that his behavior was like a group of scoundrels watching a widow taking a bath, Wen Yan quickly looked away, tilted his head to look out the window, and stuffed a large piece of dessert into his mouth.
As a result, she choked because she ate too fast.
“Ahem…”
Wen Yan started to cough.
"What's wrong with you?" Ying Zhilin ran out in a hurry without even putting on his clothes.
Seeing her cheeks flushed, she looked very flustered.
"Are you choking? Stand up quickly and bend over. I'll press your stomach to help you spit out the food."
Ying Zhilin moved very quickly. Before Wen Yan could react, he pressed her abdomen with one hand and patted her back with the other to help her breathe more smoothly.
“It hurts, it hurts…” Wen Yan danced with joy and grabbed his clothes to stop him, “I’m not choking, let me go.”
Ying Zhilin stopped suddenly and stepped back awkwardly, only for Wen Yan to pull at his clothes.
He could only walk back.
Wen Yan's hand slid into his arms, touched his warm skin, and slid down to the bottom.
Ying Zhilin suddenly closed his legs and grabbed her wrist.
It was a close call!
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah...that..." Although Wen Yan was embarrassed, she still plucked up the courage to take a look at the scenery under her clothes.
Ying Zhilin caught the movement of her gaze, and his shoulders widened, and his collar naturally loosened to the sides, revealing more of what Wen Yan was looking at.
It wasn't the first time Wen Yan saw his body, and she still thought he had a great figure.
I have to say that Ying Zhilin has perfect appearance, beautiful face and a strong and well-proportioned body.
If he weren't a scholar...
Wen Yan forced herself to look away: "Sorry, I didn't mean to be frivolous with you."
"I'm the one who should be apologizing. It's my fault for not dressing properly..." Ying Zhilin quickly pulled his clothes straight and turned around, looking aggrieved as if Wen Yan had taken advantage of him.
Wen Yan's mouth twitched. How could she be treated like that bully who molested decent women?
