Chapter 42 Song Wu Shao Discovered
Xu Miaomiao cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I have made up my mind."
As she said this, the woman shook her head helplessly.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the huge house, then at the lonely figure of the woman and said, "My lady, you have nowhere to go now. Why don't you be a maid in charge of the front hall here?"
The two women's eyes glowed and then dimmed: "Thank you for your kindness, ma'am, but I'm old now, so I'd better not get involved in these things."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly. This world was too prejudiced against women. Even though she had many people around her who supported her, there were still some who held ambiguous views on gender.
After looking at the store inside and out, Xu Miaomiao clapped her hands in satisfaction. The store was quite tidy inside and out, and the facilities on the second floor were also complete. The most important thing was that the surroundings of the house were intact and there would be no collapse like before.
After deciding on the store, Xu Miaomiao called Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei to check it out the next day.
"This store is really good, but it's a pity that it's not in the center of the street, it's a bit out of the way."
Song Weiwei said while touching the pillar.
"Madam Song is surprised by what you said. Miaomiao wants to build a quiet building for scholars to study. A more remote location may make it more peaceful. For us, it is just right."
As she spoke, Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao meaningfully.
Xu Miaomiao's mouth curled up into an arc: "The one who understands me best is Liu Niang."
After spending the past few days together, she discovered that Gu Yuanniang’s ideas mostly coincided with hers, and she was truly worthy of being her best friend.
After some discussion and hanging up the plaque of Qing Lou, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and hired a few more people to do the decoration. Then she went home with them. According to the schedule, their Qing Lou would be open in three days.
After getting ready, the three women drove the ox cart back home. Xu Miaomiao felt very happy. This was the wonderful life she had always imagined. It was wonderful to have family and friends around her.
"Hahaha, Song Wushao, you still have the nerve to come here."
Passing by a shop, Xu Miaomiao saw Song Wushao buying a book, but a man next to him snatched the book from his hand, muttering something.
Xu Miaomiao was shocked. Her instinct made her feel that the man was not saying anything good. After sending Song Weiwei and Gu Yuanniang away, Xu Miaomiao heard these words as she approached.
Song Wu Shao's long eyelashes hid all the emotions in his eyes, but the downturned corners of his mouth let Xu Miaomiao know that he was in a bad mood.
"What are you doing!?"
How could she miss the opportunity to help her boss out of trouble? She immediately stepped forward and questioned the people in front of her.
Hearing the voice, Song Wu Shao turned around curiously and saw that it was Xu Miaomiao. His heart skipped a beat. Why was she here?
Before Song Wu Shao could even ask, the man opposite him spoke with a sneer.
"Hey, your merchant wife is here."
As soon as the man said this, the readers who were buying books nearby started laughing and pointing at Song Wushao.
Xu Miaomiao was embarrassed for a moment. It turned out that these people made fun of Song Wushao because of her identity as a businessman. She felt that it would be better if she didn't come.
"Why are you all making fun of my husband?"
"Hahahaha." The man at the side laughed and waved his folding fan, "Why else? Because you are a good wife who can show your face outside and make money to support the family."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao's face was full of black lines, her tone was cold without a trace of warmth, and her eyes were also very sharp: "From what you said, you look down on women, and even more so on businessmen?"
Everyone was frightened by her appearance and took two steps back. Only the man who had taken the lead stepped forward and stammered, "So what?"
"Everything you eat and wear is sold by merchants. Your mother who gave birth to you and raised you is also a woman. The emperor today values filial piety. You discriminate against women like this, which makes you unfaithful and unfilial. How can you still have the face to study?" Xu Miaomiao turned her head to the side and said, "I think you should give up as soon as possible. You won't pass the exam anyway."
"you!"
Everyone was speechless after being rebuked by her. They stared at Xu Miaomiao for a long time without being able to say a word in defense, and could only leave in anger.
On the way, the sky gradually darkened and it seemed cold with light rain.
Song Wu Shao was holding an umbrella, and to prevent Xu Miaomiao from getting wet he even threw some water towards her.
The woman lowered her head and looked unhappy.
"You're angry."
Song Wu Shao suddenly spoke, his tone was cold but his eyes were extremely gentle. He stared at the woman's hairy head and uttered a word.
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head and shook it, sobbing a little. Ever since she came to this world, she could always pick up rabbits when things were going well, but everyone was displeased with her when things were not going well. She also had a husband who wanted to kill her all the time. She was so aggrieved that she had no one to cry to. After what happened just now, she felt even more aggrieved and couldn't control her tears.
Suddenly, a snow-white jade hand appeared in front of me, holding a handkerchief.
Xu Miaomiao slowly raised her head, only to see Song Wushao's thin lips slightly parted as he uttered a few words: "Don't cry."
But just these two short words made Xu Miaomiao unable to hold back. Song Wushao had obviously tried his best to make his tone gentle, but Xu Miaomiao still felt it was a threat. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they burst out.
"Wow, I just helped you, why are you so fierce?"
The thoughts about the big boss’s cruelty in her mind were completely wiped out, and Xu Miaomiao just wanted to cry.
Song Wu Shao frowned, wondering, was he fierce? He was clearly comforting the woman.
Seeing that talking didn't work, Song Wu Shao tried patting her on the back.
But the moment he raised his hand, Xu Miaomiao jumped away into the rain, looking at the man in front of her vigilantly. He still wanted to hit her?
Xu Miaomiao opened the space, ready to spread the psychedelic powder and escape as soon as Song Wushao made a move.
The plan kept turning over in his mind, but Song Wu Shao did nothing.
He just put the oil-paper umbrella in his hand over the woman's head, letting himself get wet in the rain, and then spoke for a long time: "You are afraid of me."
Xu Miaomiao was a little confused. Why did she hear grievance in the big boss's tone?
"You are not Xu Miaomiao."
Just one sentence made Xu Miaomiao feel cold in her heart, and she immediately explained: "What can I do? I am Xu Miaomiao, same face and same body."
Her name was Xu Miaomiao before she traveled into the book, so why isn't she that name anymore?
"You don't have to lie to me. I already knew it."
Song Wu Shao looked serious, and looked at her seriously: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Xu Miaomiao lowered her head. She thought that the big boss would be suspicious, but she didn't expect that the big boss would tell her directly: "Then when did you know it?"
