Tang Chen snorted and said solemnly, "I can see a hint of deceit in your eyes."
Wang Yanzhou raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Two taels of silver every month."
"Deal!" Oh my god, two taels of silver! That's not bad! The kitchen manager's fixed monthly salary is one tael and eight qian of silver. If she keeps this up, she'll be a wealthy woman in no time!
At Wang Yanzhou's request, Tang Chen washed herself thoroughly and then sat in front of the bronze mirror. She allowed the maids, whom she had never seen before, along with Lian Qiao, to style her hair and face. After an agonizing hour, Tang Chen looked at herself in the mirror and was momentarily shocked. After "driving" everyone out, Tang Chen squatted on a chair in front of the mirror and began to indulge in her ego.
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, do you prefer my flawless left face or my stunning right face?"
Before Tang Chen could finish his words about the bronze mirror, Wang Yanzhou, who had come running in out of nowhere, beat him to the punch: "I think it likes your shamelessness the most."
"......" I say, this person, can you please stop arguing with me all the time? It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat if you praise yourself according to God's will. If it weren't for you being such a big shot, humph!
Wang Yanzhou circled around Tang Chen a few times, looked her up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "You've dressed up well, you don't look like you can't go out." Her face was acceptable, but her sitting posture was still a little wild, but it didn't matter, she always behaved well in public.
"Hehe," Tang Chen said, I won't be happy even if you praise me now.
"Come in."
Tang Chen, who had been rolling his eyes at Wang Yanzhou, suddenly started to fawn over him when he saw rows of maids holding beautiful dresses in front of him: "Fuck, rich man, please support me!"
Wang Yanzhou pointed at the clothes and explained, "These are your 'costumes'. Pick out a few that you like and keep them."
"How many?" What? They weren't all for her. Shocking! Also, "costumes" mean they have to be returned after the show. In other words, they weren't for her, they were just borrowed! Oh my god, I'm so angry!
Wang Yanzhou said, "It's good to have these. You don't need too much to wear when going out. You can just wear them casually at home."
After Tang Chen picked out his clothes, he looked at the boss in front of him who always wore white clothes and walked with a flutter, and asked, "Speaking of clothes, boss, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"Aren't you a mysophobe? Why do I feel like you've only had these two pieces of clothing since I first met you? Don't you usually change them?"
Wang Yanzhou looked himself up and down, then said with disdain, "...Follow me."
Tang Chen followed Wang Yanzhou into his bedroom. She often visited the study, but this was her first time in the bedroom. The decor was simple and bright, with a few pots of golden chrysanthemums placed in season, adding a touch of elegance to the simple room. The most eye-catching thing in the room, besides the bookshelves filled with books, was the large wardrobe.
The wardrobe was all white. The clothes were similar in style, the biggest difference probably being the material. The thickness of clothes varies depending on the season. If there were any other differences, they'd probably be the patterns on the clothes. Some had paintings of bamboo or flowers; some had what looked like writing on them; and some had just different cuff patterns.
"Wow, my straight boss is amazing! How come all your clothes are of the same style and color?"
Tang Chen originally wanted to feel the material of these clothes to see if it was the legendary silk. But before she could reach into the closet, Wang Yanzhou slammed the door shut: "It's just personal preference."
Tang Chen awkwardly withdrew his hand that was floating in the air and couldn't help but nod, "Of course, of course, but compared to your elegant style, I prefer dressing up like the flashy Luo Bei."
"vulgar."
Tang Chen smiled and shrugged: "As a human being, sometimes it's okay to be a little vulgar, hehe."
Just as Wang Yanzhou had said, a few days later, he actually took Tang Chen out. However, they had no one accompanying them, and they went through the back door.
Tang Chen was walking on the road when she turned around and looked at the house in the distance. She was a little confused. If she remembered the time correctly, they didn't seem to have walked for long. How could they be so far away from the house? When she came here by carriage before, it took her a long time to walk.
Tang Chen kicked the fallen leaves on the stone path while chatting with Wang Yanzhou: "Why do you still want to collect rent, boss? Aren't you a businessman? Oh, and you're also involved in real estate, that's fine."
Wang Yanzhou didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he pretended she had asked some other questions and said in a nonsensical way, "You've been in Qingliang Valley for a while now. By the way, I'll take you around to familiarize you with the environment. You just need to remember the path we've taken now."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen quickly stopped and waited for Wang Yanzhou: "Okay, boss, no problem, boss. Anyway, I just need to sit on the small stool, keep a smiling face and eat melons, and I don't have to do anything else, right?"
"Well, the boy is teachable."
"The boss taught me well."
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, Wang Yanzhou suddenly pulled up the hood of her cloak to cover her head: "Do you know that the way you flatter others is very funny."
"Lululu", do you know that it is very annoying when you say this seriously?
After Wang Yanzhou brought Tang Chen to the mountainside town, he decided to part ways with her. After the experience of being hunted down for acting alone, Tang Chen said that being so beautiful and graceful like her was very insecure here. "Didn't you just tell me to remember the way? Why are we going our separate ways now?"
Wang Yanzhou explained: "Just remember the path we just took. Lianqiao will be here soon. Stand here and don't move. I..."
After hearing this familiar phrase, Tang Chen, who was good at surfing the Internet and reading jokes, subconsciously added: "You want to buy me oranges?"
"...I have my own place to go, so you can just wander around."
Tang Chen sighed in disappointment. Never mind. These were people who could do great things. As a little girl, she should not cause trouble. She should just stand there obediently and wait for Lian Qiao to come.
Lian Qiao didn't know her origins, but she knew almost every shop in Qingliang Town by heart, as if she lived there.
