The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 64 Aunt Li's Pillow Talk

Li Xiaolan still wanted to show off, but Chunnuan didn't give her the chance at all and turned around to get into the birthday carriage.

Whose is it?

Li Xiaolan asked, unconvinced.

“Auntie, it’s the carriage of Young Master Zhao from Baicaotang.” The maid next to her quickly said, “Young Master Zhao’s mother, Madam Zhao, is Seventh Master’s cousin.”

"..."

"Aunt Li, what do you think of this rouge..."

"I don't want it anymore. You're giving me things that other people have already seen. Do you think I'm a junk collector?"

She was furious but had no outlet for her anger, so she took it out on the waiter.

Watching her turn and leave, the waiter couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Why did you provoke her? She's Master Zhou's most beloved concubine," the accountant said with a smile.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, when have I ever offended her?" The waiter was truly wronged: "It was clearly that young lady who came first, and when she got it, she just snatched it away and started causing trouble."

"I know, she just can't stand anyone being prettier than her." The waiter said disdainfully, "It's said that she's the most beautiful of all of Master Zhou's concubines, and she was brought back from Jiangnan by Master Zhou. She must feel ashamed of herself after seeing that girl today. She's just looking for trouble."

"That's true to a little extent, but she is definitely the most generous customer in our shop."

In the past, I would always spend a sum of money when I came here, but today I won't buy anything worth a penny.

"Why don't you risk offending her for someone who doesn't spend a penny?"

"In business, we must always uphold integrity and respect the principle of first come, first served."

"You, why are you still a waiter after all these years? You're just stubborn, clumsy with words and not good at thinking."

Waiter... Fine, fine, say whatever you want!
Anyway, just stop bullying people.

On the carriage, Qingsheng also told Chunnuan who had bullied her that day.

"Master Zhou is very famous in Changzhou. He owns several caravans and travels all over the country. He likes to head towards the capital in the summer and south in the winter," Qingsheng said. "Master Zhou is also famous for another thing..."

Qingsheng suddenly shut up; this wasn't something he should say to a girl.

Sigh, spending too much time with the young master and those rascals has made me lose my sense of propriety.

"Celebrating your birthday, tell me, what's the other famous place you've been to?"

After learning that Master Zhou's caravan traveled north and south, Chunnuan had a thought in her mind, but Zhao Minghua was unwilling to introduce her, so she hoped to get some useful information from Qingsheng.

"Um..." Qingsheng hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Tell me, and I'll pack some pastries for you to take back to your mother."

After eating the pastries, Qingsheng said they were delicious, even his mother had never tasted such fragrant pastries. Chunnuan knew then that he was a filial son.

All you need to control is a mother to raise a dutiful child.

Okay, it's not like I can't say it.

"Master Zhou is a womanizer. He has a large number of wives and concubines at home, and he has nineteen officially taken concubines." Qingsheng said directly, "With his wealth, he doesn't need to travel with his caravan at all, but he still goes because he likes to find beauties outside."

He wouldn't be Master Zhou if he didn't bring back a beautiful woman every time.

Spring is here... Just as there are stories in dramas, there are also stories in real life. We really shouldn't underestimate the wealthy in remote areas.

Even among the wealthy families in the capital, those young masters and noblemen who were fond of beautiful women did not live as carefree as him. After all, they still had to abide by family rules and care about their reputation, so as not to tarnish the reputation of their aristocratic families.

This Master Zhou really lives a carefree life!
In that instant, Chunnuan remembered why Zhao Minghua was unwilling to introduce her to Master Zhou.

It turns out it was a form of self-protection.

This person, though not young, is quite thoughtful in handling matters.

He felt a surge of admiration. "Young lady, you have a grudge against Seventh Master's concubine, Li. In the future, don't travel alone, especially in Changzhou, be extra careful."

"Is she very powerful?" Chunnuan didn't think she had offended anyone, but she also knew very well that a mad dog bites without a reason.

“She’s from Jiangnan, so she doesn’t have much influence, but she’s good at whispering in someone’s ear.” Qingsheng laughed, “The power of whispering in someone’s ear is immense; it can create a level 10 tidal wave.”

Indeed, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.

If this villain is a woman, then we must be even more cautious.

Spring is warm... What Qingsheng said makes a lot of sense.

If she were to cause trouble and say a few words to Master Zhou, Chunnuan might not be able to escape unscathed.

"I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome," Qingsheng said. "Fortunately, we're using my young master's carriage today, so it's relatively safe."

"why?"

"Because my wife is a young lady from the Zhou family, and in terms of seniority, she is Zhou Qiye's cousin. My young master calls Zhou Qiye 'uncle'." Qingsheng added to his own imagination, "Once you get into the carriage, and it's driven by me, Aunt Li will only think that you are someone our young master values ​​and won't do anything. But if one day you are alone, then there might be trouble."

Spring warmth brings only a sigh!
"I must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out, how did I end up running into her?"

When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can bring bad luck.

However, she wasn't afraid.

Fear won't solve the problem.

Only when you become powerful enough can you make the other party wary.

Back in town, everyone at home asked how Chunnuan was doing.

"Why didn't you let Chun Ning go with you?" Mother Xu was still a little worried: "What if something happens to her going to such a far place alone?"

"Mother, it's alright. What could possibly happen in broad daylight? Besides, I'll be picked up and dropped off by carriage for my birthday celebration. Nothing will happen."

"How much do you know about that Young Master Zhao?"

There are differences between men and women, so we should still be on guard. It seems that my daughter is completely unguarded around Zhao Minghua.

Thinking of Zhao Minghua... never mind, that young man is too impulsive, not suited for the warmth of spring.

Sigh, Chunnuan will be eighteen after three years of mourning. What kind of family should she marry into then?
I'm so worried!

"Mother, where are Chun Ning and the others?"

I've been home for about half an hour, and the house feels quiet.

“Chunqiang and Chunxin are sleeping and haven’t woken up yet,” Xu said. “Chuning, Chunan, and Chunyan have gone back to the village.”

Why go back to the village?

"Let's go find Luo Xiaogang and Luo Sanya to play with."

Xu didn't know either.

The village children might play with it, but Chun Ning and the others wouldn't.

It must be said that Chunnuan understands them.

At this moment, Chun Ning was working hard in the sandy fields with her younger siblings, sweating profusely.

Chunyan and Chunshu were cutting rice stalks, Chuning was digging in the soil, and Chun'an was vigorously pulling the rice stalks into a corner.

"Brother Ning, will Sister praise us?" Chun'an had run back and forth several times, her face flushed red. "If Sister asks what the reward is, I want to eat pastries."

Chunyan and Chunshu looked at each other and smiled: No one can resist the temptation of the pastries made by their elder sister.
