Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 21 The drunkard in my memory
Yang Yuan carried his bag and returned to the Song family snack shop.

This period of time is the quietest time of the day for the snack shop.

Song Luxi was humming "Flower Fairy", a song that had recently become popular in Lin'an, in the kitchen while preparing fish soup.

She likes to try making different kinds of food, and what she is trying to improve now is a new kind of fish soup.

The ingredients would not be wasted. In the end, they would either be eaten by Dad or belong to Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan tiptoed into the snack bar and didn't see Old Man Song, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Old Man Song often takes advantage of the free time in the morning to play chess at a nearby friend's shop.

He didn't think much of me in the first place, and if he saw me coming back so early, he would definitely scold me again.

"Luxi." Yang Yuan walked quickly to the kitchen door.

"Second brother? Where did you go this morning? Why are you back so soon?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I went to contact the business, so please remember to keep it a secret from my eldest brother and your father."

Lu Xi pouted and said coquettishly, "I don't know what kind of drug you gave me to make me do this! If my father knew the truth, he would definitely not let me off easily."

Yang Yuan comforted her, "You said you would give me a year, don't worry, after a year, I want you to be the most envied girl in Qingshi Lane."

Lu Xi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm already on your pirate ship, so you can brag as you please."

Yang Yuan laughed: "You don't believe it? Here!"

Yang Yuan snapped his fingers and turned his wrist.

Luxi said: "What did you pick today...ah!"

Lu Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Yang Yuan's hand, which was holding a hairpin between his fingers.

The three-flower gold hairpin has three small golden flowers clustered together, which is very exquisite.

Yang Yuan shook the hairpin and asked with a smile, "Do you want it?"

Lu Xi hesitated and asked, "It's very expensive, right?"

"It's gilded and not valuable." Yang Yuan replied with a smile.

Of course, the hairpin could not be gilded. It was a gift from the Song court to Ugulun Yingge.

But... Lu Xi had never touched gold, and this hairpin was hollow for ease of wearing, and its weight was not much different from a solid copper hairpin. How could Lu Xi possibly tell the difference?

Lu Xi reluctantly looked away and sneered at Yang Yuan: "Even if it's worthless, you can't spend it carelessly. If you make money, you have to save it!"

Yang Yuan blinked and said, "Why, you want to be in charge of the household before you even get married? Are you worried that I won't be able to save enough money to pay the betrothal gift?"

Lu Xi blushed and said proudly, "If you really don't have the money to propose marriage, I'll see how you'll explain it to my father."

Yang Yuan turned the golden hairpin in his hand and said with a smile: "Do you want this hairpin? Let me make it clear first, if you accept it, even if I can't afford the betrothal gift, you will have to marry me."

The young cook made a face at him and said, "I won't marry. If you have the guts, you can take me away and marry me."

Having said that, she turned her back.

Yang Yuan understood, walked behind her, took off her bamboo hairpin, and gently inserted the hairpin with three golden flowers into her bun.

Luxi's breathing suddenly became rapid, as if a silent promise had entered her heart at this moment.

Yang Yuan suddenly leaned over and gently kissed her jelly-like cheek.

It was not until Yang Yuan, who had successfully stolen a kiss, returned to the backyard that the dizzy Lu Xi seemed to wake up. He pressed his chest and felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"Bad second brother, he actually... kissed me!"

Lu Xi walked to the water tank in a daze, wanting to continue her work of developing delicious food, but her hands were so weak that she seemed unable to even hold the ladle.

Her face was reflected in the water, and ripples were forming on the water.

Blurred eyes, rosy face, glittering golden hairpins...

Luxi couldn't help but smile at himself in the water.

She is in the water, 28 years old, as beautiful as a blooming flower, and extremely pretty!

……

Yang Yuan took out the key, opened the door, bolted it, and hurried to the storage room on the second floor. He first opened the bundle on a box, and the jewels and treasures rushed to his face.

The light filtered in through the window lattice and reflected on the pile of pearls and jade objects, filling the air with a precious aura.

The glittering jewels are reflected on the gabled roof, like shining stars.

hiss~~
That noble lady from the Jin Kingdom probably has no idea how much such a batch of jewels are worth, right?

If I sell these pearls and jade, even if I can't become extremely rich, I can at least live a comfortable life...

However, this thought only flashed through his mind.

Yang Yuan is not the type of person who would be content with a small fortune or live off his wealth.

Besides, the noble lady of the Jin Kingdom could be like a kitten that you could pet when she was happy, but when she was unhappy, she was a man-eating tigress. How could Yang Yuan dare to offend her?

Yang Yuan picked up a piece of jewelry from time to time and admired it carefully. Finally, he picked out five round and smooth top-quality South Pearls and put them in his arms.

These are easy to cash in, so they can be sold first to earn the money as start-up capital, while the other jewellery can be repackaged.

Yang Yuan moved away the pile of debris in the corner of the room, pushed the bag to the innermost part, and stuffed the debris back in.

Although the burden was lifted from his shoulders, his heart felt heavy and at ease.

A piece of unpolished jade by the river can have its edges and corners worn away by the flowing water, and its appearance becomes as round as a pebble, but the cores of the two are ultimately different.

A person who has seen the future will never be willing to live a life of obscurity.

He wanted to stand out, he wanted to be rich and glorious, he wanted to bring honor to his family...

He wanted to repay his elder brother, he wanted to give Luxi a good life...

He wanted to leave his name in history, so that his relatives and friends in his original world could see it, to make up for the emptiness and melancholy of being forever lost...

Yang Yuan rubbed his face, calmed himself down, and began to think seriously about the implementation of the plan.

Yang Yuan's plan was simple: use a beauty trap to make the self-proclaimed playboy Wanyan Quxing fall in love with her. While pursuing her, he would personally express his disgust for Yingge and the purpose of the marriage between the two families, and he would let the interested party hear it with their own ears.

This era is completely different from later generations in some aspects. In later generations, prostitution was punished but adultery was not, but in this era, adultery was punished but prostitution was not.

Wanyan Quxing indulged in wine and women and frequented red-light districts, but in that era that was not a big deal and could not be considered a stain.

However, seducing a girl from a decent family is not tolerated by ethics and morals.

Yingge will occupy the moral position.

Of course, this is not the key to canceling the engagement. The key is to make Wanyan Quxing reveal the purpose of the marriage himself.

In fact, everyone knew the purpose of the marriage between the Ugurun clan and the Wanyan Zheng family. The problem was that as long as this layer of window paper was not revealed, even the Jin Dynasty emperor Wanyan Liang would have no reason to stop it.

However, if Wanyan Quxing himself revealed the purpose of the marriage and made it known to everyone, the marriage would never be successful.

Yang Yuan thought about it several times and felt that it was completely feasible.

Now, he needs to find the first key person in the plan, a beautiful woman.

Jade waist slave?
Yang Che first thought of the beautiful woman who was made the top singer in Lin'an by his song and story.

No, she is not from a good family and she is already famous, so her identity will be easily discovered.

What's more, it costs a lot of money to package such a woman.

Yang Yuan didn't want to make a one-time deal. After this incident, his "Youqiu PR" should be officially launched, and this woman had to become his right-hand man.

But Yuyao Slave, he couldn't control himself.

After thinking for a long time, another person suddenly popped up in Yang Yuan's mind.

It was just a fleeting glimpse of her at the time, but when I think of her now, I can hardly remember her facial features, eyebrows, eyes, body shape and posture.

But the charm that emanated from her was still clearly imprinted in his heart.

That was a woman he met by chance two months ago when he went to the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant to deliver snacks.

She is a wine girl in "Shuiyunjian"...
