The sunlight after noon is generous and warm, kissing the buildings and pedestrians one by one, so that every corner of the capital is bathed in its favour.
A sound of footsteps came from inside the door of the palace-style “Bao Xiang Zhai” restaurant, and then a young man in official clothes walked out with slightly hooked lips, looking at the sunlight outside the door, stretched his waist with satisfaction, and then slowly stepped into the sunlight.
“What an uneducated nerd!”
The dainty young woman upstairs looked at the figure of the official-suited teenager outside the window, skimmed her rosy little mouth, and rolled her eyes in disdain.
“Dull and uninteresting, empty of the name of Scholar, I really don’t understand, Lan Lan, how do you like this kind of person?”The delicate young woman withdrew her gaze from the official uniformed teenager outside the window and turned to one of the walls of the empty room, her gaze was gentler than when she was looking out the window, and her voice carried a few moments of affectionate rancour.
Creak ……
There was a sudden slamming of the door from the room.
Originally a wooden wall, but suddenly opened a door, from which came out a pretty face a little cold, obviously exasperated young girl to. A gorgeous mauve pleated skirt with red peonies embroidered on the lapel, two ribbons draped around her slender waist, and the skirt embroidered with fluttering flower petals. Her black hair was coiled into a flying fairy bun, and a pair of hairpins with gold phoenixes holding beads dotted both sides of the bun, lining the young girl’s more and more noble temperament.
“Who likes him! Little sister-in-law you must stop talking nonsense!”The young girl’s face reddened with shame, and she exasperatedly blurted out, although she was speaking to the charming young woman, but her puffed up gaze was looking out of the window.
With the young girl came out, inside also came out one after another several maids and old mums, all are a face of puffing appearance, if not afraid of affecting the young lady reputation of the flower, they have long been unable to resist wanting to come out of the room just now a certain ill-advised tart to a scolding!
And what about not wanting to take a concubine? Pah, you think so! You’re not afraid of losing your life if the first-born young lady of our Yan family is given to you as a concubine! A concubine’s daughter would be a grandma to a nobleman or a royal relative!
Let him take off the uneducated village flower, but also pull a bunch of what “seven out”, “three not go”! He’s a nerd!
He’s such a nerd!
You’ve got no eyes! You don’t want a dignified, generous, elegant girl, but a village flower with no upbringing as a treasure! It’s a shame to be a nerd from a mountain village! He’s got eyes like a dog! You don’t even know how to take advantage of the opportunity in front of you! You deserve to be questioned by the Ministry of Justice! Go and read your holy books in the prison!
Especially serving the girl’s several maids, is more puffed up looking out the window, hate to pull open the window loudly scolded him a dog’s head.
“Who likes who knows ……”
Seeing the young girl puffing and puffing out, the delicate young woman snorted and laughed, her bright red lips hooked up a touch of arc, a pair of bright danfeng eyes seemed to be able to see through the young girl’s heart as well.
“Little sister-in-law! Don’t make fun of Lan’er, I, Yan Lan, wouldn’t like that denizen!”The young girl’s eyes widened to meet the delicate young woman’s eyes, as if she wanted to show that what she said had a clear conscience, and her voice also raised a few points.
“Cluck cluck cluck ……If you don’t like this brat, then why did Father Weng die when he betrothed you to Ouyang Zishi.”The delicate young woman’s chipped onion jade finger touched her bright red lips and laughed in a delicate voice.
“It’s not like I like Ouyang Zishi! Father has allowed me to choose my own son-in-law.”Yan Lan raised her voice in defence.
“Besides, just because I didn’t agree to be betrothed to Ouyang Zishi doesn’t mean I like that denizen!”Yan Lan said glaring her gaze out of the window as if there were enemies outside that she deeply hated.
“You can fool yourself, but you can’t fool me.”The charming young woman with a pair of bright danfeng eyes seemed to see through the young girl’s heart, pointing at the young girl and then pointing at herself softly.
“I, Yan Lan, will not like whoever I like, not that insidious and cunning denizen!”Yan Lan huffed and puffed as she walked to the window, looking at someone’s back and said as if she was gambling.
“Insidious and cunning?”
The dainty young woman was stunned for a moment, carefully recalling Zhu Pingan’s speech and behaviour after he came in, how to look at it is a rule-abiding, dull and uninteresting nerd, so she shook her head in disbelief, “That dull and uninteresting nerd, how to look at it can’t be related to the sinister and cunning ah ……”
“Little sister-in-law, you were deceived by that denizen’s naive appearance!”Yan Lan looked at the appearance of the delicate young woman, but could not help but think of the scene where that denizen looked at his own bath but pretended to be drunk with bad light and did not see to deceive himself, hating and gritting his teeth.
“What?”The dainty young woman’s dark eyes lit up.
“That denizen is used to this trick!”The young woman hated it and snapped.
“No?”The dainty young woman muttered to herself before turning her gaze out of the window.
“Huh?”Seeing the scene outside the window, the dainty young woman couldn’t help but eek.
“What’s wrong?”Yan Lan did not have to ask when she saw this.
“You see what that brat is going to do, it seems like he’s going to help that person sell melons?”Delicate young woman looked out of the window and said, a little puzzled softly, “That melon seller has been downstairs for half a day, and not a single melon has been sold ……”
“It’s really ……”
Yan Lan sniffed and could not help but walk to the window, from an angle that could not be seen from the outside to look out the window, in the line of sight Zhu Pingan is standing in front of the old man selling melons to say something, the old man a look of disbelief, looks as if it seems to be really want to help that old man to sell melons.
The other people in the house also came over.
The distance wasn’t far, so if they listened carefully, the voices from outside could be faintly heard, and they vaguely heard Zhu Pingan’s conversation with the old man.
“Old Uncle don’t fret, I have a way to sell your watermelons quickly, and you can also spend according to this method in the following days, then your son’s bride price money will be available.”
Zhu Pingan went downstairs and prepared to buy two watermelons at the old man selling watermelons on the way, seeing that the old man selling watermelons was very laid back and had no business, and seemed to have a stomach full of worries, he chatted with the old man selling watermelons while picking out the watermelons, and then learnt about the old man’s current situation.
The old man’s family had spent a lot of time, energy and money, and had not even gone out to work a short-term job, so they were counting on the watermelons, which had come on the market ahead of schedule, to save up money for their eldest son to talk about his daughter-in-law, and as a result, the watermelons could not be sold.
The watermelon is big and sweet, but just because of the price can not be sold. Just where are all the costs, and the price can not come down!
Helping people is the essence of happiness.
Understanding the old man’s difficulties, Zhu Pingan thought of a way, and said to the old man that there is a way to help him sell his watermelons quickly.
After hearing Zhu Pingan’s voice, not to mention that the old man selling the melons didn’t believe it, a sound of impossibility resounded in the room.
“He’s bluffing, right, and selling it quickly. How can that be, downstairs that is outside of the city grows melons Zhuang family, yesterday I bought a few watermelons in his place, his family watermelon although ripe early, but expensive dead it, than the usual watermelon five or six times more expensive it, expensive no one to buy it.”
“That’s right, it’s so expensive, it’s as expensive as meat. Yesterday, except for a few purchases from our house, the melon seller didn’t sell a single melon for the whole day.”
“That nerd is trying to cheat the old man’s watermelon, right? I saw the old man come to sell melons early this morning, and he hasn’t sold a single one so far.”
“Still a scholar, even a watermelon is cheated, that old man is poor enough, really shameless.”
The room has a few know the inside story of the maids and mums, talking about it.
