Chapter 48 White Moonlight Liu Ruyun
The woman at the side asked softly, "Brother Yuan, who is this? And what's going on with the silver?"
Li Wanyue looked at her. She had watery almond eyes, fair and delicate skin, a slender figure, and exquisite makeup. She was wearing a pink embroidered cotton skirt and holding a handkerchief of the same color in her hand. What a lovely little white flower. It seemed that she was Yunniang. No wonder Gao Zhiyuan could not forget her.
Gao Zhiyuan was startled, but he couldn't let Yunniang misunderstand anything.
He quickly explained in a low voice: "Yunniang, don't listen to her nonsense. She is just someone who admires me and always finds excuses to pester me. Don't you see what she looks like?"
Liu Ruyun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, but she said, "Brother Yuan, don't say that. She is a girl after all, please give her some face."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Wanyue and said, "Miss, as a woman, you should know how to respect yourself. It is too shameless to harass a man who is already engaged in public. Where is your dignity? My brother Yuan and I are getting married. You should not do such shameful things in the future. If you are seen by the people in your village, how can you stay in the village?"
Li Wanyue smiled. She heard that this person was the daughter of a scholar. Did she think she was superior and looked down on others just because she read so many books? She had never seen such a self-righteous person.
She clenched her hands, but before she could make a move, Li Sandong's fist had already hit Gao Zhiyuan in the face. If he didn't hit a woman, couldn't he vent his anger by hitting a man?
"You little toad, you go out on the street to disgust people. I wanted to beat you last time. If you don't have a mirror, just pee. Look at your face full of pits. I have to vomit the food I ate the night before. Stay away from my sister next time and spit less shit out of your mouth, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you."
In just a few seconds, Gao Zhiyuan's face was swollen, his eyes were black and blue, he was bent over, and gasping for breath in pain.
Liu Ruyun, who was standing by, was so frightened that she reacted and said in a trembling voice, "How could you... be so rude? How dare you hit someone."
Li Wanyue said leisurely: "What the girl said is that people should respect themselves and love themselves, and not interfere in other people's marriages. You did something shameless yourself, and you still have the nerve to criticize others?
You must know that Gao Zhiyuan has been married for more than two years. He designed a plan to divorce his ex-wife for you. I think you have some foxy tricks. If he didn't owe me five taels of silver and refused to pay it back, do you think I would care about him? I feel sick just by looking at him. I don't know if you are a dung beetle who likes to be with dung balls. It's true that birds of a feather flock together, fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles seek tortoises.
Since you like your cuckold so much, please persuade him not to come around me anymore. If you see him, don’t bother me. I don’t know how to show mercy to others.”
Li Wanyue finished speaking quickly and clearly, then turned around and left with Li Sandong, not caring at all about Liu Ruyun's face which turned red and blue.
She had never been so humiliated in her life, especially when many people around her looked at her with strange eyes. She immediately lowered her head, her eyes red, and she was ashamed and angry.
Gao Zhiyuan also felt embarrassed. He stood up, holding his swollen cheek, and supported Liu Ruyun, comforting her softly: "Yunniang, don't take their words to heart. They are just country folk, crude and uncouth. We are childhood sweethearts, destined to be together, but fate made us miss each other temporarily.
Now we are finally married, she is just jealous of us, especially seeing you are so beautiful, so she deliberately said those disgusting things, please don't let these words make you sick. "
He was so angry that he was about to die. She clearly cared about him, but she became jealous when she saw him and Yunniang together, and deliberately said those vicious words. She was a peasant, and if she hadn't come to the county town, why would she have come? He should remember this beating today. When he passed the imperial examination, he would make her cry and beg for mercy at his feet sooner or later.
Liu Ruyun wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Brother Yuan, how are you? Let's go to the clinic."
"I'm fine. I'll come out with you another day. I'll take you home first."
There was a flash of displeasure in Liu Yunniang's eyes. The two were going to get married soon. They had finally come to the county town and wanted to pick out some jewelry to wear at the wedding, but now it had been ruined by that woman.
But she didn't say anything and followed Gao Zhiyuan away.
Moxiangzhai
A man in dark blue clothes walked up to the second floor and saw Xie Yan writing. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm late. When did you arrive? Why are you still practicing calligraphy?"
Seeing the ink, he said with disdain: "What kind of ink is this? If you want to write, just write well. You can also hang it in the store to help me make some money."
"Ayu, I collected a batch of ink sticks for you."
"What?" Shen Yu was surprised. "When did you become interested in business? Besides, we have a fixed supplier, so why would we need to accept someone else's ink? What kind of ink?"
"This is it." Xie Yan pointed to the ink stick on the table.
Shen Yu picked it up, looked at it, and smelled it: "This ink is not good, it can only be said to be average."
"It's ordinary, but the person selling the ink is extraordinary. Besides, this ink is better than the worst ink in your store."
"What do you mean? I'm curious about what could interest you. I've never seen you show this expression to any girl before." Shen Yu smiled with interest.
His cousin was obviously very talented. He passed the imperial examination and won the third place at the age of 18. He could have entered the Six Ministries or the Hanlin Academy, but he asked to leave Beijing. The year before last, he was clearly intended to be promoted to the position of Tongzhi of Linyang Prefecture, and there was a hope that he would be promoted to Beijing in the future, but he asked to come to Anping County.
While others were trying to climb to the top, he was the only one climbing down.
If it weren't for the troubles at home, would he be unwilling to go home?
Xie Yan did not answer, but handed him the calligraphy written by Li Wanyue: "Take a look at this calligraphy."
Shen Yu's expression was slightly interested, and then he looked surprised: "What good calligraphy and poetry! Is the person selling ink a gentleman?"
"It's a young farm girl."
"A young... girl? A farm girl?"
Shen Yu was surprised. "There has only been one successful candidate in the imperial examination in Anping County so far. There aren't many scholars. How could a woman make ink and write such words? It's really extraordinary. But since you want the ink, take it yourself. We don't lack ink in our store."
"Three hundred coins a piece. The cheapest piece in your store is six hundred coins a piece. If you sell it at the lowest price, you can still make three hundred coins per piece."
Shen Yu gave him a sly look and said, "I opened a shop to make money. You are so generous to give me such a high price."
Xie Yan smiled: "For this calligraphy, it's worth it. If Miss Li comes to sell ink again, you can take it too."
"Why? I've suffered enough in this small county. My father cut off my money, and my life depends on these two stores. If the business doesn't go well, will you provide me with food and lodging? The business of the study has not been good in the past two years."
"Your store is not doing well, and you haven't thought of a solution."
"Why didn't I think about it? Isn't it useless to think about it?"
Xie Yan calmly told Shen Yu about Li Wanyue's suggestion, and Shen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
