Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 78 Zizhan
The person who spoke was a fat middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes. You could tell he was worth a lot of money by looking at the expensive accessories on his body. Now he was rejected by a zither player and felt embarrassed.

As soon as Zhong Chushan finished speaking, several middle-aged men next to Mr. Zhou showed mocking expressions and deliberately said unpleasant words to provoke Mr. Zhou, making him even more embarrassed.

Mr. Zhou slammed the table and shouted, "If you play a tune, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver."

Zhou Wangshu didn't react to this. Su Yaoguang from the Peony Pavilion beside him smacked her lips and said enviously, "You can earn a hundred taels just by playing a piece of music. Why didn't I learn this skill in the first place?"

After all, she had been the wife of the top scholar for several years, and she spent all her time thinking about how to dress herself up and how to please men, but she didn't learn any talents. What a mistake.

The most important thing is that these talents are easy to make money.

Zhou Wangshu heard Su Yaoguang's words clearly.

Although I haven't seen her appearance, it's not difficult to imagine that she is a money-grubber.

If he didn't want to reveal his identity, he would have gone and earned the hundred taels of silver. After all, he knew better than anyone how important silver was. Unfortunately, if he had done it the first time, there would be a second time. If everyone came here to throw silver at him, his identity would be exposed sooner or later. He had to keep a low profile and earn money now, and he couldn't earn those dangerous silvers.

"My dear guest, it's not that I'm unwilling to celebrate your father's birthday. It's simply that I've already established a rule, and I can't go back on my word. So, today, I'll play a piece for your father, as a way of celebrating his birthday in advance. Since you're so filial, I'll present you with the 'Bodhi Heart Sutra' composed by the Buddhist monk 'Wu Yan', to bring you blessings and longevity."

The gentle voice finished speaking, and then the calming Buddhist music flowed like a stream, flowing into everyone's hearts. Mr. Zhou sat down, his originally furious expression calming down.

Su Yaoguang drifted away following the music, as if she saw herself unwilling to die. This song reminded her of many past events.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Jia Chunni asked.

Only then did Su Yaoguang realize that she was already in tears.

She wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay, I'm just so moved."

Jia Chunni said sadly, "I just remembered those days when I was hungry and was beaten and scolded by my grandmother, my father, and my second aunt. But it's strange that those memories seem to have become less important later, as if those people were irrelevant and there was no need to take them to heart."

"This song is soothing, worthy of being composed by a holy monk."

After the song ended, everyone was stunned for a long time. It was not until the shopkeeper came out to speak that the strange silence was broken.

"Dear guests, Master Zizhan has finished his performance today. Please continue to enjoy the other songs and dances."

"Shopkeeper, I have fifty taels here. Please pass it on to Master Zizhan. The music he played for my mother was quite good. Although she didn't hear it, we must accept this blessing."

The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, then said generously, "Today, all drinks are 50% off. Consider it our advance congratulations to the old lady."

A customer disturbance ended just like that, and it was handled perfectly, without offending the customers or ruining the day's business.

Su Yaoguang stood at the door and saw the shopkeeper delivering Mr. Zhou's money to the next room. When he came out, she waved to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper..."

The shopkeeper came over and said with a smile, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"I want to discuss business with you." Su Yaoguang said, "I just saw the girls in your shop. They are all as beautiful as fairies, but they are still a little inferior to those in other dance studios."

"Your Excellency's intention is..."

Su Yaoguang took off her veil, revealing her delicate makeup. She also took off Jia Chunni's veil.

Jia Chunni also put on makeup, but her look was completely different.

"What do you think of our makeup?"

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them and said, "The makeup of the two girls is very special. It can be said to be amazing. I have never seen such makeup before."

"I also know other makeup techniques that can give the girls in your shop a style different from other dance studios. I'll teach you these makeup techniques for two taels of silver each. Do you want it?"

Jia Chunni looked at Su Yaoguang with admiration.

My cousin is so awesome!
I originally thought that she came here to have fun, and was still feeling sorry for the three hundred wen pastries and one hundred wen tea she had just eaten. It turned out that she was wrong. My cousin was simply a money-making saint.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Yaoguang and hesitated again and again. At this time, Chen Buyu's voice came from the next room: "Promise her."

"Young Master, two taels of silver for one type of makeup. From what the girl said, I'm afraid it will cost at least five types, which will cost more than ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper said to Chen Buyu.

"A dance studio as big as ours can't afford a few dozen taels of silver?" Chen Buyu said disdainfully, "This young master wants something unique. Since there is something unique, why wouldn't you agree?"

"Young Master is truly generous. With a young master like you, the dance studio will surely become famous and become the most prosperous dance studio here."

Su Yaoguang followed the shopkeeper to the backstage. As soon as she left, Chen Buyu said, "Brother Wangshu, your young wife is really interesting."

"We have to go back." Zhong Chushan reminded Zhou Wangshu.

Zhou Wangshu was not in a hurry and said, "Wait a little longer."

"You want to see your young wife?" Zhong Chushan asked, "Then don't hide, just go see her directly. The sooner you see her, the sooner we can go back to the academy."

"No," Zhou Wangshu said, "Selling makeup techniques is secondary. Her main purpose should be selling cosmetics. Later, you can use all the money I earn to buy the cosmetics she has. It will be considered as me giving all the money to her."

The shopkeeper came over and said that after Su Yaoguang put on makeup for the dancers, the dancers were very interested in the makeup products in her hands, and eight dancers had already ordered her products.

"You order three sets in the name of the dance studio to use for the makeup of the dancers who need to perform on stage, and then order two sets in my personal name to send to my mother and sister." Chen Buyu said.

Zhong Chushan said: "Order a set for me too!"

Zhou Wangshu did not leave in a hurry, but waited for Su Yaoguang and her sister to leave before packing up and leaving.

He stood in front of the window, looking at Su Yaoguang's happy figure.

She is really brave. In order to make money, she dares to go anywhere and earn any money.

However, if she wasn't such a person, she wouldn't have risked saving him from death. He owed her a life, and one day he would repay her. Now, let him borrow her place to hide from the disaster!
Sister? If that's what she wants, then it's not impossible. When he gets his revenge and is lucky enough to still be alive, he'll recognize her as his sister and let her enjoy all the glory.
