Chen Simin acted like a female tyrant. Anyone could see that the calligraphy was damaged intentionally. She wanted to see the scholar get angry, but the scholar just smiled good-naturedly, then took the pen and wrote a few more pieces of calligraphy on the spot.
"Since you have chosen these paintings, I cannot get any other paintings for you. I can only write more. I hope you will forgive me."
Chen Simin finally suppressed the mockery in her heart and found that the size and number of the characters written by the scholar were basically the same as those in the calligraphy she had just torn up.
This scholar is so amazing?
Thinking of this, Chen Simin instantly became interested and immediately asked the scholar a few questions.
The scholar was only slightly stunned, then expressed his opinion calmly.
Listening to his answer, Chen Simin's eyes became brighter and brighter. After the scholar finished speaking in an orderly manner, she couldn't help but admire him a little.
Judging from his appearance, he has read a lot of books!
"I heard that you have a very sharp understanding. With your talent, I don't think you should sell calligraphy and paintings here."
Upon hearing this, the scholar finally smiled bitterly and lowered his brows to hide the helplessness in his eyes.
"Miss, you are too kind. I don't deserve it! My family is poor. I wanted to study hard and take the imperial examinations, but I failed for many years. In order to take care of the elderly at home, I have to sell calligraphy and paintings for a living."
Hearing this, Chen Simin couldn't help feeling guilty for deliberately destroying other people's calligraphy and paintings, and also had an inexplicable admiration in his heart. He quickly took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the scholar.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but I'm sorry I can't accept it."
The scholar firmly refused and refused to take so much money. Chen Simin was helpless, but from then on, she couldn't explain why, she would come to the scholar's bookstall every day. As they got to know each other better, she realized that she had already fallen into it.
Trapped in that strange love net.
…
After the story was over, Chen Simin was still a little dazed, but Jiang Xueying always remembered the shy look on Chen Simin's face when she was talking about the scholar just now. It can be seen that she had deep feelings for the scholar.
"You...you like that scholar?"
Jiang Xueying sighed. She had never experienced what it meant to be in love, but she understood it after seeing it so many times.
"Yes, I... I have fallen in love with him. Now I understand why I deliberately tore up the calligraphy before. It was because he didn't see me, which made me feel annoyed. Just like the poem I saw when I first met him, when I looked back, he was already in the dimming lights... It's a pity that you don't know how much I miss him."
Jiang Xueying didn't understand. Just because she couldn't marry the person she loved, Chen Simin would rather die to show her determination? And the other party might not even like her.
Whether in her past life or this life, she has never loved anyone. In her opinion, life is more important than anything else. Only by being alive can there be hope, so Chen Simin’s choice puzzled her.
Chen Simin seemed to see Jiang Xueying's confusion and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Sister Jiang, I know you may think I'm making a big deal out of nothing. You just haven't met that person yet. When you meet him, you'll find that being with anyone else besides him is just a compromise. I'd rather end my life than live a life of compromise."
"Si Min, Master Chen has already arranged a marriage for you. When I came here just now, I saw that the mansion has been decorated with everything. I'm afraid your father has made up his mind. Even if you want to commit suicide, I'm afraid you can't change your father's mind. You... why are you doing this?"
"Sister Jiang, I beg you, I beg you to help me, okay? I only want to marry him in this life. If I can't marry him, then I would rather die to make my will clear. Otherwise, such a life is worse than death for me. I might as well get rid of it as soon as possible."
Chen Simin's eyes were filled with sorrow and her tone was sad. She looked at Jiang Xueying pleadingly.
What can I do? Jiang Xueying could only nod helplessly. Seeing the haggard Chen Simin, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but sigh. Love is really a tormenting thing. Fortunately, she has never fallen in love with anyone.
But Jiang Xueying didn't know at that time that love knows no past or future, no order. It is so natural when it appears, so natural that when you look back on it, it is not obvious but already profound.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang."
With Jiang Xueying's promise, Chen Simin finally felt relieved. She believed that Jiang Xueying would definitely find a solution.
"Okay, Simin, you should take good care of yourself first. I will find a way for you. Don't do anything to hurt yourself again in the future, understand?"
Jiang Xueying patted Chen Simin's hand soothingly. In her opinion, nothing was more important than life. If one lost one's life, everything was gone.
"Okay, I got it!"
After leaving Chen's house, Jiang Xueying had an idea in her mind. She returned to the shop, and before she walked in, she was hugged tightly by a pair of small hands.
"Mom, why did you come back just now? Xiaojin missed you."
Ye Xiaojin leaned against her and spoke in a sullen, complaining voice.
Jiang Xueying's heart softened immediately. She died unexpectedly at a young age in her previous life. She had never had children and had never thought about having children.
In her previous life, she was free and unrestrained. She only thought that children were constraints and lives that would make her uncomfortable and irritated, and were not suitable for someone like her who lived on the edge of a knife.
But now she has already experienced this feeling of concern. Every time she returns home, having two little ones calling her "Mom" and running to hug her feels so good. It is so good that sometimes she even doubts whether her current life is real. This feeling of worry and loss is too unfamiliar to her.
"Little Jin, be good. Sleep with mom tonight."
When Ye Xiaojin heard this, his face turned red. He looked up at Jiang Xueying and said softly, "Mom, I'm a man. This... isn't good!"
"Well, since you don't want to, then I will..."
Jiang Xueying turned her face away pretending to be indifferent, but was interrupted by the little guy who suddenly shouted halfway through her words.
"No, no, no, mom, I'm not a man, I'm not grown up, I can sleep with you!"
"You're so good. Let's not go back today. We'll find an inn to rest later. Oh, and you have to do your mother a favor tomorrow!"
Looking at the backs of the two people, one big and one small, leaving, the clerk sighed again, "Oh, our boss is really kind and nice. She is so kind to a child who is not her biological child. If no one else told her, who would have known that the child was not her biological child?"
A clerk nearby quickly pulled him back, looked outside again and again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Jiang Xueying and the other person had left. "Don't talk nonsense. If the boss hears you saying this, you're done. The young master is the boss's biological son."
The man finally reacted and quickly covered his mouth and walked away guiltily.
