The scholar had a beautiful dream.
Long Yuan was trembling with rage. These people, these people actually said such things about Ning Qiao'er.
A sudden, inexplicable anger surged within him. Before he could regain his senses, the chopsticks in his hand flew out and embedded themselves in the scholar's palm. The scholar stared at his hand, now only holding a chopstick, and was momentarily stunned.
Unexpectedly, Ning Qiao'er affected his mood. He put down his chopsticks, threw down a silver ingot, and left the inn.
Just as the scholar was speaking with great pride, a sudden pain caused his voice to change abruptly, and he screamed in agony.
"Ahhh, my hand, my hand?"
Why is there a chopstick stuck in his palm? Why is that?
The chopsticks pierced his palm, causing excruciating pain with every touch. The scholar, who was already afraid of pain, was now sobbing uncontrollably.
"This man is highly skilled in martial arts. Fortunately, he still left you with your right hand," another scholar comforted him.
If the chopsticks pierce through the scholar's right hand, his path to the imperial examinations will come to an end.
The scholar felt he was incredibly unlucky, as if a calamity had struck him from the heavens.
After his hand was pierced by the chopsticks, he searched everywhere for the culprit. Unfortunately, there was only one chopstick stuck in the next table, but the people at that table had already left.
In this vast sea of people, where is he supposed to find this person?
Ning Hong had never been so frantic before.
This client clearly wished to become the most dazzling person, but looking at her inconsistent exercise routine, when will she ever lose weight?
He originally thought that the person who could make such a request must be very hardworking.
However, Ning Qiao'er tried her best to rest more.
He has done his best.
Unfortunately, this younger sister isn't cooperating.
“Brother, I’ve actually lost a lot of weight.” Ning Qiao’er pinched the fat on her stomach. “Look, I’ve lost a layer of fat.”
"But you're still fat." You've only lost a little bit of weight, how can that be considered thin?
"Brother, you're really annoying."
Other brothers would do their best to encourage their sisters and make them more confident, but her own brother always discouraged her.
"Can't you learn from other people's older brothers?"
"But other people's sisters aren't as fat as you. I'd like to do what other people's brothers do and compliment you, but do you believe me?"
If the older brother keeps praising how good-looking I am...
Yeah, that's way too fake.
Ning Qiao'er thought to herself sullenly.
"But I really feel very tired."
"Nonsense, beauty always comes at a price." Ning Hong suddenly became serious. "Tell me, do you really want to become beautiful, charming, and make that scumbag regret it?"
"I???????"
"Don't rush to answer me. Answer me first. If you don't want to, then the weight loss plan ends here, and I won't force you anymore."
Seeing her brother's serious expression, Ning Qiao'er lowered her head and thought for a while.
Although she kept saying that it was too tiring, she really wanted to lose weight.
She wanted to become more beautiful and more dazzling.
"But brother, what if I lose weight and still look just as ugly?"
Ning Qiao'er is actually very insecure.
"Look at me, what do you think of my looks?"
"My brother is naturally the most handsome."
"That settles it then. Your brother is such a distinguished and handsome butcher, so how could you be anything less than my own sister?"
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely become the most beautiful woman in Hu County."
Ning Hong then held Ning Qiao'er's shoulders and drew her a big pie in the sky.
"Thinking this way does give me motivation, but brother, you're really shameless." Ning Qiao'er stuck out her tongue at Ning Hongze and made a face.
Just as Ning Hong was about to lose her temper, she turned and ran away.
She didn't want to be chased by dogs again.
At the market, Ning Hong was tidying up the pork on the counter.
He was dressed much more elegantly today, a far cry from his usual self.
Ning Hong carefully wrapped up the piece of pork belly he had specially reserved, then took off her apron and cleaned the table.
"Why."
"Longyuan shouted."
Ning Hong ignored it.
"Why."
Long Yuan shouted again, and seeing that Ning Hongze still refused to listen, Long Yuan drew his longsword and held it directly to Ning Hongze's neck.
Ning Hong immediately tensed up and turned to look over.
"What are you trying to do?" Murder in the marketplace? "The laws of this dynasty are strict, and the magistrate of our Hu County is quite honest. If you kill someone in the street, you will not escape punishment."
"You don't need to worry about that. Even if I kill you, I won't be punished at all," Long Yuan said confidently. "Not only will I not be punished, but I will be praised. All I need to do is pin a crime on you."
Long Yuan said calmly.
“You can’t kill me.” Ning Hong then used two fingers to deflect the longsword slightly.
"You want to try?" The longsword moved even closer to his neck.
"I don't want to try it out." Seriously, going to provoke someone with a weapon is either brain-dead or you forgot to bring your brain with you.
"Since you don't want to try, how about we have a chat between the two of you?"
"I'm busy today, I have to deliver meat." Ning Hong waved the meat wrapped in large leaves in her hand.
"Delivering meat?" Long Yuan looked Ning Hongze up and down. "You're dressed really strangely today."
To be honest, it's not that strange, but it just looks odd that a butcher like him is selling meat here in a long robe.
"Isn't there something I need to do?" He usually wears a long robe at home, but when he sells meat, he wears shorts. Today is an exception. "I specially wore a long robe today because I'm going to see Matchmaker Liu."
"Are you getting engaged?" Ning Hong is already quite old, so it's normal for her to want to get engaged.
"It wasn't me, I was asking for my sister."
"..."
"You know my sister is a bit overweight and is getting married for the second time. I'm not really sure what the market value of men in the city is, so I'd feel more at ease asking Matchmaker Liu for help."
"Don't go," Long Yuan said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't we go?" Ning Hong raised an eyebrow at Long Yuan's expression and attitude. Something seemed off about this man.
Could it be that this person has fallen for Qiao'er?
Seriously? Qiao'er can actually have that much charm?
With such a fat body, how could such a "person" be moved?
“I said don’t go, so you can’t go,” Long Yuan said domineeringly.
"Your attitude is quite firm, but what exactly do you want to do?"
