Chapter 147: The Familiar Old Lady Shen
Gao Zhiyuan and Gao Conghui's expressions changed immediately.
Li Wanyue continued, "You can use a horse-drawn carriage and go to the county to study, so you shouldn't be short of money. You won't be jealous of my family's business and come here to make rumors and slander us, right? If something like this happens again, I will go to the gate of the academy in the county and have a good talk with the students who come and go."
Another knife.
The people in the carriage looked even worse.
Gao Conghui gritted her teeth and said, "This carriage is rented, not bought. Besides, what did we mean by slandering you? My brother's book was lost, and your family happened to be doing business at this time. It is reasonable for us to be suspicious. Didn't we apologize to you in the end? Do you have to keep bringing it up?"
"As for that, after all, you have no credibility with me, so I can only remind you more often so that you don't forget it the moment you turn around."
When several people were speechless due to Li Wanyue's blocking, another carriage stopped and just blocked Gao Zhiyuan's carriage.
Gao Zhiyuan and his sister were very upset at this time and wanted to leave, but their carriage was blocked by someone, which made them even angrier.
Gao Conghui stuck his head out and said, "Whose carriage is blocking our way? Why don't you get out of the way?"
After Li Wanyue stabbed them twice, she turned around to leave but was stopped by someone.
"Miss Li, Brother Sandong."
Xie Yan got off the carriage and called them.
Gao Conghui's eyes widened when she saw Xie Yan.
He has a handsome face and a slender figure, and he is completely different from Young Master Zhu.
How did that bitch know such a nice guy?
Li Wanyue turned around and saw Xie Yan helping the two old people get off the carriage.
One was the old man she rescued that day, and the elegant old lady next to him was probably his wife.
Old man Shen stepped forward with a big smile on his face: "Little girl, do you still recognize me? I am the old man you saved... helped that day."
He almost let the cat out of the bag and winked at Li Wanyue.
Li Wanyue understood and said, "I recognize you. Are you doing well?"
"Okay, okay. I haven't brought my wife to the county town for a while. Today, I took the opportunity to get her some tonic medicine, so we went for a walk together. I always said I would come to thank you in person, but A Yan said you were a little busy recently and would take us to your house in a few days. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"It's just a small favor. You're welcome."
Xie Yan reminded: "Grandfather, this is not the place to talk, why don't we go into the car first and talk?"
"Yes, yes, look at me, little girl and little brother, if you don't mind, you can take our carriage."
Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Wanyue had no choice but to agree.
Several people got on the carriage and drove away.
Gao Conghui didn't come to his senses until the shadow of the carriage disappeared.
Gao Zhiyuan pushed her before she responded.
"Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, brother, let's go."
Gao Conghui lowered her head, thinking about Xie Yan's appearance, and she no longer had the mood to meet Zhu Guangyao.
Liu Ruyun naturally knew what she looked like. Not to mention Gao Conghui, even she almost stared at her.
Such a handsome young man is actually better than the young master of the Qin residence.
Thinking of the young master of the Qin Mansion, her eyes darkened.
If she hadn't made a mistake at the beginning, she would have been the young lady of the Qin Mansion, living a life of luxury and having servants at her disposal.
…
On the other side, in the carriage, Old Man Shen made up a story about a thief who stole money and almost hurt him, but was praised by Li Wanyue and her brother for their heroic deeds.
Old Lady Shen already had a good impression of Li Wanyue and her brother because of their friendly appearance, and after hearing these words, she admired them even more.
Besides, my grandson has never been so proactive towards any girl before. I think the person he takes the initiative to make friends with must have good character.
When he heard that Li Wanyue wanted to buy clothes, he immediately sent a carriage to Jinxiufang.
She said, "Wanyue, the clothes at Jinxiufang in this county are pretty good. I have nothing to do anyway, so if you don't mind, I'll go with you to have a look."
"I'm sorry to bother you. We are just strolling around. We have already wasted your time by taking a carriage."
Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's no trouble. We old couple don't have many people to talk to on weekdays. It's just right for me to accompany you for a walk to relieve boredom."
"Well, thank you, ma'am."
"It's too formal to call me old lady. You helped my old man and you know A-Yan, so just follow him and call me grandma."
Li Wanyue's face froze. Is the old lady so familiar?
She smiled and said nothing.
Xie Yan lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.
Old Lady Shen continued, "My grandson and granddaughter are very filial. A-Yan is usually very busy, but he often comes to have meals with us. He also remembers how long I have to take my medicine. He knows that I need to take my pulse and prescribe medicine today, so he specially went to the town to pick us up."
"Mr. Xie is a nice person." Li Wanyue agreed.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Xie Yan slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Old Lady Shen glanced at Xie Yan, then turned and asked, "Wanyue, how old are you? Are you married?"
Xie Yan immediately said, "Grandma, we've arrived at Jinxiufang."
"You're here so soon?" Old Mrs. Shen was interrupted by him and forgot what she asked. Li Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.
After several people got off the carriage, Old Man Shen said to Xie Yan, "Leave this carriage to us. You can go and do your work first. We can ask the driver to take us back later."
"It's a day off today, and there's nothing else to do, so I'll accompany grandpa and grandma."
Old man Shen glanced at him. If Shen Yu said this, it wouldn't be strange. Why did he say it so strangely?
His grandson was actually willing to accompany them for a stroll? In the past, he was always rejected when he asked.
"Then let's go together." Old Mrs. Shen took Li Wanyue and walked into the store first.
This is the best embroidery workshop in the county. It has two floors. The upstairs sells silk brocade, while the downstairs sells silk, cotton, gauze and other fabrics and ready-made clothes. The lowest quality fabric is fine cotton.
Downstairs, the items are divided according to the fabric, making it easy to see at a glance.
When the people in the store saw Old Lady Shen, they immediately greeted her with smiles. It seemed that Old Lady Shen often came here.
"What would you like to choose today, old lady?"
"Pick two dresses for this girl."
"Young lady, please come this way. The clothes here are suitable for young people." The shopkeeper led the two to the display cabinet on the right.
Old Lady Shen asked, "Wanyue, what occasion are you going to wear it for?"
"Attending a birthday party for a good friend's grandmother."
Old Lady Shen nodded: "For an elder's birthday banquet, the attire should be elegant and dignified."
Li Wanyue agreed. She took a look and then pointed to a goose yellow cotton-padded garment embroidered with a crabapple flower pattern.
Old Lady Shen nodded in appreciation: "You have a good eye."
Although the silk and cotton material is better, this one suits her better.
The shopkeeper quickly took down the clothes.
"Girls can try it on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, we'll modify it."
Old Lady Shen said, "That's where you try on clothes. I'll take you there."
Then he took people to the fitting room behind the display cabinet.
The fitting room is not small, and is separated into two small rooms by a gauze curtain.
There was a larger bronze mirror outside. Li Wanyue changed her clothes and turned in front of the bronze mirror. The clothes looked good on her body and the material was comfortable.
"Wanyue, are you okay?"
Li Wanyue opened the door. Old Lady Shen looked her up and down and nodded with a smile: "Not bad, more beautiful now."
Then he asked, "Can you wear your hair in a bun?"
