Chapter 19: The toad looks for the frog, the ugly one has fun
Gu Yu looked at Zhao Mingzhu's answer, calculated it again himself, and found that Zhao Mingzhu was actually right.
She snorted, "A blind cat meets a dead mouse."
After all, Zhao Mingzhu didn't even list the formula, so he could only write it randomly.
Zhao Mingzhu looked out at the clear sky with birds flying across it.
"Let's skip school for the good times."
An Yun looked at her stupidly, her heart was moved, but she didn't dare to:
"But Master Lin is the strictest. We've already made him angry. If he knows we're skipping school, won't he punish us to death?"
Zhao Mingzhu pondered for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Gu Yu with a sharp gaze: "Princess."
Gu Yu saw her expression and felt that she was holding her fart in.
"No."
Zhao Mingzhu, who was rejected first, was not discouraged. She came to Gu Yu and smiled:
"Let's skip school and go out and play together during the spring. Princess, your back looks strong, so why don't you take the blame?"
Gu Yu: “…”
She was about to refuse when Zhao Mingzhu winked at An Yun, and the two of them covered her mouth and carried her away.
Zhao Mingzhu grumbled, "Princess, you definitely won't suffer any loss. An Yun will pay for everything later."
An Yun: "Yes! I'll pay!"
She reacted: "Ah, why me?"
Zhao Mingzhu gritted her teeth and smirked, "Who caused me to be kicked out?"
An Yun shrank her neck and muttered that she never expected that all her hard work and thinking would still be wrong.
The bustling streets led to many directions. The three decided to change out of their clothes with the academy's logo. Gu Yu and An Yun came out of the dressing room first, and saw Zhao Mingzhu standing in front of the full-length mirror, staring at something, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What are you looking at?" An Yun moved closer and followed his gaze.
It's nothing strange.
Gu Yu frowned: "Change your clothes, you are possessed by a ghost."
The two people's words made Zhao Mingzhu laugh. She pointed at the face in the mirror with her fingertips and said intoxicatedly:
"I am so beautiful, with a face as beautiful as a flower, as stunning as the moon and the flowers, and so stunning that it can overwhelm an entire nation..."
How can someone’s skin be so smooth and lustrous without any rouge or powder, as if they had eaten a sack of pearls?
Damn, what were all those expensive skincare products she used to use?
An Yun was shocked when he heard this. He touched Zhao Mingzhu's forehead and found that she was not sick.
Gu Yu closed her eyes. She knew this would happen. It was hard not to feel embarrassed being with Zhao Mingzhu.
I can only say that this is not the first time I have felt embarrassed, and it probably won’t be the last.
Gu Yu forced himself to get used to it early.
The two of them dragged the narcissistic person out of the garment shop, and Zhao Mingzhu saw someone carrying candied haws in front of her.
The brightly colored hawthorns are bunched together and covered with crystal clear sugar coating. You can already feel the sour and sweet taste rushing into your mouth before you even put it in your mouth.
Zhao Mingzhu quickly put it into her mouth. The hawthorn brought her happiness, and her eyes curved.
Gu Yu didn't want it and asked doubtfully, "Is it really that delicious?"
She is a royal princess who has lived a life of luxury since childhood. She looks down upon such shoddy folk products.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't even think about it and put it to her lips: "You'll know after you eat it."
Gu Yu was very skeptical. After eating one, she looked down on it and said, "It tastes terrible." But she still chewed it slowly and swallowed it.
An Yun put away her purse. She and Zhao Mingzhu had similar tastes and both liked the snack. In no time, only half of it was left.
Zhao Mingzhu held the handkerchief, hesitant to speak: "Anzi, you..."
Gu Yu also noticed that she was looking at An Yun strangely, and then fell silent.
"What's wrong?" An Yun asked, confused.
Zhao Mingzhu watched her stuff half of the hawthorn into her mouth while she spoke and shook her head:
"nothing."
Better not tell her.
When there are bugs in your food, you either see them beforehand or simply don't know about them. This is the true meaning of happiness.
The three of them continued walking, strolling along the way. Zhao Mingzhu seemed to be buying goods, buying non-stop along the way. Gu Yu looked at the things he was carrying and couldn't help asking:
"How many do you want to buy? Is Donggong so poor that he has to buy his own combs?"
And who should buy it? She is the one who takes the blame.
"Yes, I was the one who chopped the firewood in the dark."
Gu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so she chose to join in. She started buying things like Zhao Mingzhu, and when she couldn't carry all the things she bought, she gave them to An Yun.
An Yun was holding something that was almost drowning her behind them, swaying left and right, her eyes dull as she said:
"Don't buy it, don't buy it, I beg you."
She had never hated herself so much for being bad at math.
Finally, Zhao Mingzhu was tired. She looked at the Chaoyang Restaurant in front of her and said:
"Let's go have lunch. I heard this place has small cabbage for 600 taels a plate."
An Yun heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that she didn't have to suffer anymore.
"Come on, let's go in."
Zhao Mingzhu looked back at her and said, "Anzai, did you bring enough money? Don't let the three of us eat and dine and end up washing dishes in the kitchen for a year to pay off the debt."
An Yun put down her bags, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said casually with a flushed face:
"No need to pay, all the shops on this street belong to me."
Zhao Mingzhu looked back and couldn't see the way she came, then she looked at the endless street ahead.
Zhao Mingzhu:!!!
It is truly the wonderful music of the gods.
Gu Yu walked ahead first, and Zhao Mingzhu asked her if she was hungry because she was walking so fast.
Gu Yu shook his head: "I'm going to order two plates of bok choy, eat one and throw the other away."
Zhao Mingzhu gave a thumbs up: "Exquisite!"
The three of them hurried to the restaurant, but found that there were many people gathered in front of them, so they squeezed in to see.
There was a sign in front of me: Selling myself to bury my father.
Here it is, a classic scene from the novel!
But Zhao Mingzhu looked at the man in white clothes, crying and saying, "?"
She had never read a novel like this before. Aren't the plots always about weak women, waiting for the protagonist to show up and rescue her?
Zhao Mingzhu approached Gu Yu and said, "She's quite pretty. Why not buy her as a lover?" This person looked like someone, but she couldn't quite remember who it was.
Gu Yu glanced at her and said, "Why don't you buy it and take it back to the East Palace to serve your brother?"
Zhao Mingzhu thought about the scene and got goose bumps on her arms. Sorry to bother you.
An Yun touched her chin and said, "I can buy it. I can work during the day and do my homework for me at night."
An Yun's words were neither loud nor soft, but the man happened to hear them. He wiped his tears and said:
"Miss, if you buy me, I will be yours. Just give me some food and a place to stay."
Zhao Mingzhu asked An Yun: "Do you really want to buy it?"
An Yun nodded. It wasn't expensive anyway. She rummaged through her wallet and took out the An family token.
"Here, take this to Sophora japonica Lane outside Suzaku Street to find my servants. They will accommodate you."
The man was wearing mourning clothes, his handsome face flushed, and he thanked her repeatedly:
"I will do my best to repay you from now on. You will never forget my kindness!"
An Yun waved her hand and left with Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Yu. When they entered the restaurant, the aroma of mouth-watering food filled their noses.
Zhao Mingzhu was still shocked that the man came out to sell himself to bury his father. Gu Yu was speechless after hearing this:
"You're so ignorant. You've seen too much in the West Market. There are also men looking to marry into a family, but they require the woman's family to be rich and beautiful, and the family property will belong to him after the father-in-law dies. This is not uncommon."
Gu Yu snorted coldly: "A toad is looking for a frog, the one who looks ugly is the one who plays with it."
An Yun pushed open the door of the room she often went to and turned around and said:
"Princess, this isn't a big deal. My distant cousin was also looking for a husband before, and a man offered himself to her, saying he would never betray her. Later, when I inquired, I found out he had just been released from prison, charged with molesting a decent woman."
"I confronted him and he said that was why he did it and that he would learn his lesson and never do it again. My cousin was so angry that she wanted to kill him with a knife and then have a ghost marriage with him."
