pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 25

Zhan Huaichun went into the room to wash his hands, and when he came out, Ayu had already set the table and chopsticks.

It's still steamed buns and white porridge, but today Zhan Huaichun has a lot of appetite. After eating, he said seriously: "I'm going down the mountain in a while, you stay in the house honestly, don't run around anywhere, unless your master tells you, Those senior sisters who want you to help with things, you are not allowed to agree to know?"

A Yu blushed, lowered her head and said, "Benefactor, you, I really don't need you to buy pea yellow..."

She also said that she didn't want to eat it, and when he mentioned going down the mountain, she immediately thought of going up there.

Zhan Huaichun suppressed a smile and deliberately teased her: "Who said that I went down the mountain to buy pea yellow? What else should I buy if you said no? Don't worry, I have other things to do."

It turned out that she was overthinking, and A Yu was very embarrassed, so she quickly got up and packed her things, and went out of the house as if fleeing.

Zhan Huaichun snickered and followed closely behind.

"Benefactor, what are you doing with me?" Hearing footsteps behind him, Ayu asked curiously.

"I didn't follow you, I'm going to discuss things with your host." Zhan Huaichun looked at her with a smile.

He has been laughing all day, Ayu is baffled, always feels that he is laughing at her, but she doesn't seem to do anything funny?Can't figure it out, after A Yu pointed out the room for him, he quickly turned to the kitchen.

Zhan Huaichun followed her back and saw that the little nun seemed to be turning around, so he looked forward and looked for Jingci.

"You're here. You scared our Mingxin to death yesterday. I've raised her for so many years and I've never seen her cry so badly. You're really cruel." Opening the door, Jing Ci smiled and followed Zhan Huaichun jokingly asked him to sit inside.

Zhan Huaichun didn't move at all, and didn't hide the disgust on his face: "No, I just came to tell you that I bought her on the fifteenth day, and I have something to go down the mountain today. You'd better watch her and don't let her get into trouble. Otherwise, you don’t need this nunnery.”

Jingci was amused by him: "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will still look up to their teachers and sisters, and I still count on them to make money!" .

Zhan Huaichun snorted coldly, and was about to leave when he turned around and asked, "If I want to redeem her, how much will it cost?"

Redemption?

Jingci raised her eyebrows in surprise, seeing that Zhan Huaichun looked serious and not joking, she stretched out a hand towards him: "5000 taels, do you want to buy it?"

"Five thousand?" Zhan Huaichun sneered, she thought other people's money was blown by the strong wind?
Jingci didn't take it seriously, and clapped her fingers to explain to him: "It sounds expensive, but you have to figure it out. With Mingxin's appearance, it can become a red card wherever you put it and train it well. Evening guests at least five taels of silver, a year is only counted as a hundred days, that is 500 taels, but this year Mingxin is only fifteen, and ten years later she will still be a pretty girl, right? Your 5000 taels is considered Buy her the best years of ten years, and the rest of those years will be for nothing."

She smiled triumphantly, Zhan Huaichun gritted his teeth in his heart, if he hadn't cared about the little nun's reputation, he would have sent her to prison long ago.

Knowing that Jingci wanted to kill him because he was rich, Zhan Huaichun stopped talking and turned to leave.

Jingci smiled at his back.Over the years, many people have mentioned to her that they want to redeem a few nuns, but these nuns were carefully selected by her, how could she sell them so easily?There are a lot of goods in the brothel, and what she did was a shameful thing. After selling one, it is difficult to make up for a new one in a short time, so naturally be cautious.

When Zhan Huaichun walked out of the backyard, Jingci went back to the house gracefully, lying on the bed thinking about things.Ming Anming's heart is broken, she has to let Gao Chang watch over her carefully in the past two years, and add two little girls.Qingshiqinghua is a bit older, if someone wants to buy it again, she can let go.

On the way down the mountain, Zhan Huaichun was full of worries.

His savings over the years are only 3000 taels of silver, not to mention not enough, even if it is enough, he will not give it to a madam for nothing like a fool.

It's just that the eldest brother will be back at the end of the month. He can't stay in the nunnery for a long time. Even if he keeps Ayu in his arms, who knows if the bustard will secretly force her to pick up guests after he leaves?And that fellow Xiao Ren, who spoke righteously and awe-inspiringly, didn't see him come up with any solution, in the end he had to take action.

Seeing the servant Chang'an, Zhan Huaichun ordered him to go back to the county to buy the best medicine for scar removal, along with a catty of pea yellow and purple sweet potato cake, plus a few other foods he wanted.Chang'an remembered them one by one, and took the order to go.Because it only takes an hour for him to come and go, Zhan Huaichun decided to wait for him in the village and inquire about Jingci's old friend Gao Chang by the way.

Coincidentally, several nearby villages gathered together a market here, which sells everything, including food and vegetables, as well as tea bowls and cloths, of course, they are not good things.Zhan Huaichun looked around, the picture was a fresh one.Passing by a small stall selling flowered handkerchiefs, he casually rummaged through them, thinking that little nuns are very pretty, so he chose a lavender handkerchief from a pile of handkerchiefs. .

Most importantly, this is the best satin material in it.

The stall owner was a white-faced man in his late forties. Seeing that Zhan Huaichun was a son of a wealthy family, he quickly flattered him: "This young master has a good eye. This is embroidered by Li Qiniang in the Baijiazhuang in the east. The family really couldn't get rid of the pot and asked me to do it." For resale, look at this material, this embroidery pattern, even if it is brought to the county, it is a good thing..."

"Come on, just say how much?" Zhan Huaichun interrupted him impatiently.

"Five coins, do you want it, young master?" The stall owner smiled apologetically.

Zhan Huaichun put the handkerchief in his arms, and threw a small piece of broken silver to him, but it was useless for him to look for it.

The stall owner smiled happily, and after thanking Zhan Huaichun, he was busy greeting the guests next to him.Most of the people who came to buy floral handkerchiefs were women, and one of them asked him about Li Qiniang: "How did Li Qiniang end up selling embroidery? Her family is quite rich."

"That was in the past, at the beginning of the year...the one fell in love with Li Qiniang and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Li's father refused, so he was tricked into the casino by that person's design, and the family's fields were all lost. In the end, Father Li saw that it was the man who did it, and couldn't bear to sell his daughter, so he hit the wall and died. Poor Li Qiniang, his father is gone, and sooner or later he will be harmed by that man."

"It's a crime. Before Li Tu's daughter went out to deliver food to her father at noon, she was dragged into the woods halfway and harmed her. He probably did it. It's a pity that even Li Tu dared not offend him. People like us can only endure it." It’s over, luckily we don’t have a daughter…”

A group of women whispered, although they didn't name them, Zhan Huaichun guessed who they were talking about.

No one dares to offend Gao Chang?What if someone is willing to back them up?
An accident happened in Gaochang, will Jingci's bustard be so worried that she can't eat?

Zhan Huaichun smiled and continued to stroll.

After Chang'an came back, Zhan Huaichun got into the carriage directly and asked Chang'an to take him to the foot of the mountain.Before getting out of the car, Zhan Huaichun whispered to him for a while, Chang'an looked dignified, kept nodding, and finally drove towards the county seat at full speed.

Zhan Huaichun carried a few oil-paper bags and went up the mountain with ease.

He said he would come back for lunch, so as soon as the meal time came, Ayu came over with a chopping board.The door of the room was ajar, A Yu yelled, and after getting a response, she opened the door and went in. When she looked up, she saw two packs of pastries on the table, with two big words "Liu Ji" facing her.

It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy, A Yu was so happy that he couldn't help laughing.

The donor treated her very well.

A Yu put the chopping board on the table with a blushing face, and when she heard movement inside, she walked lightly to the door of the inner room and poked her head in.

Zhan Huaichun was applying the ointment with his back to the mirror, and when he saw her, he shouted directly: "It's just in time, you help me put the ointment on." As early as when she called for someone, he was ready to be watched by her.

A Yu walked in obediently, and when he walked in front of Zhan Huaichun, he smelled a faint fragrance, and couldn't help sniffing: "Benefactor, what kind of fragrance is this?"

Zhan Huaichun sat on the chair and handed her the three-inch-high white porcelain bottle in his hand, "Qingyu ointment is used to remove scars, as long as the wounds are not deep and visible, the scars can be removed and the scars will return to normal after half a month of continuous rubbing. I also prepared a bottle for you, you can take it back later, and apply it every night before going to bed."

Ayu carefully looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, smelled it again, and asked uneasily, "Is this expensive?"

Zhan Huaichun was about to shake his head, but suddenly changed his mind, and said casually: "It's not expensive, a bottle of 20 taels of silver, I can only buy two little maids like you."

"It's so expensive? Donor, you should keep it for yourself. I'm not afraid of scars." Ayu shook her head quickly. She didn't know what 20 taels of silver could buy. Since it can buy two big living people, it must be very expensive. up.

Zhan Huaichun looked at her with a smile: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I hurt you, it's only right to buy you medicine. If you fell it yourself, I don't bother to care if you have scars or not." Speak clearly and let the little nun know He treats her well, but he won't misunderstand that he has other thoughts.

A Yu didn't think about those things at all, she just didn't want to accept such expensive things.

"You don't want it? Then I'll drop it now." She didn't pick it up for a long time, Zhan Huaichun lowered his face, and made a gesture to smash the thing on the ground.

"Don't drop it, don't drop it! I, I want it." A Yu felt sorry for the good thing, and snatched the porcelain vase without even thinking about it. After snatching it, she blushed, and mumbled, "I, I will return it to the benefactor after I use it up..."

"It's up to you, but if you are reluctant to use it and the scar on your leg hasn't disappeared after half a month, then I will force you to eat meat."

"you……"

"Okay, hurry up and help me with the medicine, and I'm going to eat after eating." Zhan Huaichun interrupted her complaint coldly, and couldn't help laughing when she turned around.Goofy and really funny to tease.

A Yu bit her lip, stared at him complainingly, and lowered her head to help him.

When he got outside, Zhan Huaichun pointed to the two packs of pastries and said, "You didn't want it for you last time. I bought it again this time. Remember to take it back. If you dare not take it, I won't buy it for you if you want it in the future." As he spoke, he sat down and warned her with a sullen face.

A Yu blushed, looked at the oiled paper bag, and asked in a low voice, "Benefactor, this, how much is this?"

"Don't worry, this one is very cheap, and I won't buy it for you if it's too expensive." Afraid that she wouldn't dare to eat it if she told the price, Zhan Huaichun didn't tell the truth.Things are indeed not expensive, but most people are not willing to buy them easily.

As long as it's cheap, A Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating quietly, Ayu cleared the table and went to the kitchen. When she came back, she found a lavender orchid veil next to the pastry.

That handkerchief looked like it belonged to a girl.

Ayu intuitively felt that it was given to her by the benefactor, but felt that the benefactor had no reason to give it to her, so she picked up the oiled paper bag to leave, and suddenly remembered that she threw away the pastry last time without asking for the benefactor. If you don't take the donor, wouldn't you...

It's not good to take it or not to take it, Ayu picked up the handkerchief and went into the back room.Zhan Huaichun was lying on his side pretending to be asleep, when he heard footsteps, he turned to look at her.

"Benefactor, this handkerchief..." Ayu asked with his head lowered.

"This one, I picked it up on the road, you can take it if you like, I don't need it anyway." Zhan Huaichun made up the reason early, so that she would not be entangled in money again.I really haven't seen the world before, I have to ask the price for anything I send, can I just accept it?
"Ah, isn't the girl who lost her handkerchief very anxious?" A Yu was stunned, and then asked worriedly.

Zhan Huaichun stared at her, couldn't help it, pointed at the door and yelled at her: "Then you go and return the handkerchief! Do you want to love, go out, don't disturb my sleep again!" He turned over on his side, grabbed the quilt and covered his head.

If I give her something in the future, he, he, Zhan Huaichun, is a fool!
