Chapter 19 Are You Happy with Me?
After getting on the carriage, Lu Yunyang stared at Jiang Jiu with burning eyes.
Jiang Jiu finally felt uncomfortable from staring at him, and she raised her eyelids.
"You didn't get cold, did you? Mingyue didn't do it on purpose. She loves you, but she doesn't want to go against her parents' wishes..."
Jiang Jiu seemed to be explaining why Lu Yunyang ran into Jiang Mingyue while playing in the pavilion...
Lu Yunyang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Do you have feelings for me?"
Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes and remained silent. What do you think?
Lu Yunyang sneered: "So, you don't care or ask how I fell into the water..."
Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and stared at Lu Yunyang's burning eyes for a long time before speaking.
"I don't ask, of course I believe you, Mingyue has feelings for you, that's why she wants to be with you when no one else is around..."
Lu Yunyang: "So, you asked me to wait at the pavilion...but the person I was waiting for was not you..."
Jiang Jiu frowned: "Didn't I go there too..."
She felt a little guilty, after all, she was the first one to find out that her husband was having an affair with another woman when she returned home.
Lu Yunyang just felt angry. What kind of trash was he? She actually looked down on him.
"Do you have feelings for that Chang?"
Jiang Jiu suddenly raised his eyes: "Chang Xiucai? How is that possible? I have never seen him before we got married..."
Lu Yunyang asked again: "If Jiang Mingyue hadn't been fickle before marriage, wouldn't it be you who would have married Chang... would you still divorce him?"
Jiang Jiu remained silent.
If according to what Jiang Mingyue said about her previous life, she did not seem to divorce Chang Zhili.
Besides, she chose Chang Zhili to marry in order to go to the capital...
Seeing Jiang Jiu remained silent and avoided his gaze, Lu Yunyang clenched his fists in anger.
Not only did his woman not love him, she even despised him.
"Jiang Jiu, you are my woman, who allows you to think about other men?"
Jiang Jiu looked at him incredulously with eyes wide open: "I'm not thinking of anyone, wasn't it you who brought it up? Besides, we agreed that as long as I can get three thousand taels, we'll get divorced."
I have already collected one thousand taels, and have two thousand taels left.
Speaking of divorce, Lu Yunyang became even angrier, but a gentleman's word is as good as gold.
"Okay. All up to you." Suddenly, Lu Yunyang raised the corners of his lips and revealed a slight smile. He turned around and sat next to Jiang Jiu.
He stretched out his fingers and gently lifted Jiang Jiu's chin.
"Tonight, when I finish our wedding, you will change your mind."
Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment. He had to admit that although Lu Yunyang was useless, she was really good-looking, with a pair of tender peach blossom eyes, a face as smooth as a peeled egg, a straight nose, and thin lips. She was a feast for the eyes.
"Lu Yunyang, are you seducing me?"
Lu Yunyang curled his lips and smiled lazily: "Don't you think that I, Lu Yunyang, am nothing but a pretty face? Besides, we are husband and wife..."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyang stared at Jiang Jiu's red lips, and his mind reappeared on the jar of honey he had stolen. Because he knew how sweet she was, he always missed her in his heart.
Don’t tell me, really don’t tell me, Lu Yunyang is really good-looking, Jiang Jiu almost stunned.
But just when Lu Yunyang was about to kiss Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu pushed him away.
"Even though I don't like you, you've never liked me either, so why force yourself..."
I don’t know what’s going on, but Lu Yunyang feels empty inside. The honey is right in front of him, but he can’t eat it. He feels anxious and angry.
But when he heard Jiang Jiu say that he didn't like her either, Lu Yunyang finally lost his moral bottom line.
Yes, since you don't like her, why bother to provoke her.
"Boring..." Lu Yunyang lifted the car curtain and saw Hua Man Lou.
"Stop."
Lu Yunyang jumped out of the car and left in a leisurely manner.
Jiang Jiu, who was sitting in the car, took a long time before he slowly exhaled.
She felt that Lu Yunyang today was different in some way.
Just as I was thinking about it, Chunxiao's complaining voice came over: "Girl, why did you make your aunt angry again? You haven't been home for three nights after getting married. You will be laughed at by others."
Jiang Jiu didn't want to pay attention to her and instructed the driver: "Go to the store."
I wanted to check the store yesterday but couldn't go. Today I have some free time, so I'll stop by and take a look.
As soon as Lu Yunyang arrived at Hua Man Lou, he asked for a pot of wine.
"Nichang, come and have a drink with me."
Unexpectedly, Nichang came to Lu Yunyang holding a pipa.
"Master, please don't be anxious. Let me play a song for you."
"The birds are nesting together, the butterflies are flying together, the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating..."
The melody is melodious, gentle and affectionate, expressing the woman's desire for love.
Even Lu Yunyang, who was full of resentment, felt a lingering feeling in his heart after hearing this.
"Who composed this song? It's very nice..."
Nichang's eyes lit up: "Here is one of the songs sent by Mr. Xiao. I haven't mastered the others yet, but they all sound good."
"Master, these songs and dance moves will definitely help our Hua Man Lou regain its glory and surpass the Hong Xiu Zhao on the other side."
Mr. Xiao? Xiao Yimo? Did he send these songs to me?
When I thought of Xiao Yimo, I thought of Jiang Jiu. Lu Yunyang went back to her parents' home with Jiang Jiu today, but she schemed against him to meet Jiang Mingyue and push her man to someone else. How unbearable he was.
"Show it to me. When did Xiao Yimo become so multi-talented?"
Nichang handed the music score to Lu Yunyang, but then said, "The music is very nice, and Mr. Xiao can send more later, but the price... is a bit expensive."
"How expensive?" Lu Yunyang asked casually.
Nichang stretched out two fingers in embarrassment.
Lu Yunyang: "Twenty taels per poem..."
Nishang: "Two hundred taels..."
Lu Yunyang was furious: "Why doesn't he just go and rob it?"
Nishang: "He said if we can't afford it, he'll take it to Hongxiuzhao across the street, they'll definitely be able to afford it..."
"Swindler." Lu Yunyang cursed angrily, "If Master were still here, he would definitely not let him succeed..."
One song costs two hundred, three songs costs six hundred, and this is just for the songs. If you add choreography, you have to pay more.
Fortunately, Nichang’s dance is good and it won’t be needed for the time being.
Even so, Lu Yunyang felt extremely distressed.
"Master, then...shall we buy it?"
Lu Yunyang rubbed his brows speechlessly and gritted his teeth: "Buy."
What can I do if I don’t buy it?
The Hong Xiu Zhao across the street got some advice from some expert and released two songs in succession, becoming famous all over Xiang County overnight. Even the provincial government knew that there was a Hong Xiu Zhao in Xiang County.
Their flower-filled house was so crowded that there were almost no customers in the evening.
Even the mainland's wealth cannot afford six months of continuous losses.
Besides, Lu Yunyang is now out of money after his family was divided.
"But, go tell Xiao Yimo that if the song he gives us doesn't become popular and doesn't make us a fortune, I'll make him pay."
Nichang brought the wine to Lu Yunyang, and Lu Yunyang drank it in one gulp. The spicy taste made him feel even more depressed.
"By the way, did you find the guy called Brother Nine?"
Nichang looked embarrassed and said, "No, Master, Ninth Brother's information is here with Master Xiao. It's my incompetence that I didn't get any clues from Xiao Yimo."
Is that Xiao Yimo?
Lu Yunyang's eyebrows twitched: "Tonight, please invite him here, and I will meet him in person."
Unexpectedly, an hour later, his men came hurriedly to report.
"Master, it's bad. Master Xiao got hurt in a fight and can't come."
Lu Yunyang laughed contemptuously and said, "The profiteer deserves to be beaten..."
Unexpectedly, the next sentence made Lu Yunyang instantly lose his composure.
"Sir, the one who fought with Master Xiao was also the young lady..."
