Chapter 321 It’s hard to be a good person
Back at Nanhonglou, Liu Yunxiang asked the guy who stayed here if the rest of the goods had been delivered.
"The clothes are ready and have been delivered to the guests, but many guests asked us if we can open the door."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the night of the Red Mansions in Central and Southern China. Other houses were brightly lit, but they were deserted.
"If any customer asks you, you will tell them that the Nanhonglou will definitely open the door again."
After sending the guy away, Liu Yunxiang entered the house and saw Zijin lying in a chair, with her legs raised and eating beef jerky, looking comfortable.
"Have you changed the dressing today?" Liu Yunxiang walked over, lifted Zi Jin's clothes, and looked at the wound on her abdomen. The fine cloth had been removed and the wound had scabbed.
"It's already healed. Hongzhu said that as long as I don't climb the wall and jump high for the time being, I won't break my wounds, it's fine."
"Well, then you pay attention."
Zi Jin sat upright and picked up a letter from the table next to him to Liu Yunxiang.
"Miss, sent by Xizhou."
"Xizhou?"
Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, and thought of who it was, so she hurriedly took the letter. The sender was Lingyu, that is, Lu Chang'an. She opened the letter and first he had some concerns.
"Spring goes and autumn comes, and it has been more than two years in a blink of an eye. I heard that Miss Liu has arrived in Beijin. Although I know that the girl is smart, I still have great worries and I hope to take care of her."
Next, he wrote about the situation in Xizhou in the past two years. His words were worried about the country and the people, but they were mostly helpless. He also mentioned the current riots, natural disasters are not terrible, but what is terrible is the hearts of the people.
"I used to take my father as an example. Although I could not go to the battlefield like him, I hope to support the country and benefit the people like him. But is it because I didn't see my father clearly before, or has he changed? When the people were in dire straits, he only wanted to fight for power and even for the sake of achievements, the slaughtered people who were powerless."
When Liu Yunxiang read this, she couldn't help but sigh. In Darong's current situation, the court's party struggles are serious, civil strife is everywhere, and the people are suffering.
The situation in Darong was indeed not optimistic, and she also did her part to do her best to seize the three northern states, protecting the people of the three states from being affected by riots and living a stable life.
In the letter, Lu Chang'an was painful, confused, and unsuccessful. Perhaps no one could understand him, so he wrote this letter to her.
Liu Yunxiang thought about it and wrote a reply to Lu Chang'an.
"Criminal, if you really want to change all this, then take practical actions and don't talk about sadness. The scoundrels are shaking the tree. You don't think it's possible, but don't forget that you are not the scoundrels. You are the prince of Suping, and you are Lu Chang'an. You can do more than you think. Just like me, I used to dare not think that I could go thousands of miles to a completely unfamiliar place, but when I come, I will definitely be able to hold my feet. So what's scary is not the predicament in front of you, but you don't have the courage to take this step."
After writing the letter, she put it in the envelope and handed it to Zijin, asking her to send it to Xizhou.
Liu Yunxiang only had a few words, and she would not have thought of the changes that these words had made Lu Changan, and even at that time, she regretted brushing away the clouds in front of him.
The autumn examination is coming soon, and many people have gone to Nanmozhai to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone these days.
When Liu Yunxiang passed by, several students in the shop were choosing what they had to bring before entering the examination room. The student who was thin and wearing a plain robe was arguing with Chen Chong.
"I haven't used this inkstone yet, you must refund it to me the original price!"
Chen Chong looked helpless: "How many times do this young master want me to say it? We can refund you the original price, but at that time it was sold to you four taels of silver, so of course we can only refund you four taels of silver."
"Nonsense, I have asked other families that the best Duan inkstone costs at least ten taels of silver. It's really hateful that you are a study in such a big size!" the scholar shouted.
"The prices of Duan inkstones are different. Because your inkstone is simple, it is cheaper. Besides, our boss saw that the woman he bought that day was not enough, so he gave her one or four taels to sell her. You came up and said ten taels, but I asked the woman what she said?" Chen Chong explained patiently.
The scholar took the inkstone to the counter, "She told me it was just ten taels!"
Chen Chong frowned, "Then please ask that woman to come and confront us!"
The scholar's eyes were weak, but when he thought of something, his expression became firm again and shouted: "Look, everyone, this Nanmozhai shop is bullying customers. I bought his inkstone and thought it was not useful, so I returned it to them. They actually wanted to lose more than half of my money! Is there anyone doing business like this? This is obviously a fraud. Don't buy it here. If you can't buy good things, you have to be as reasonable as me and have nowhere to say it!"
When the students who were originally selected heard this, they looked at me, looked at you, put down their things and hurriedly left.
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief and then saw that the troublemaker's face looked white and clean, with only triangular eyes, single eyelids, and a mean and polite face. At this moment, his eyes were rolling around, obviously feeling guilty.
As he walked by, Liu Yunxiang smelled a slightly bitter smell, which was coming from this scholar.
She didn't care much, so she walked to Chen Chong, looked at the scholar and said, "The woman who sells rice cakes is your wife, right?"
The scholar frowned, "She...is my servant."
"Sister?" Liu Yunxiang frowned and continued, "Then you invite her. If she said it was ten taels, we will immediately withdraw your ten taels and never bother you."
"I'll retreat immediately? Ten taels?" The scholar's eyes shone.
"yes."
The scholar saw Liu Yunxiang nodding and hurried out.
"Boss, these two must have agreed to cheat money together. This is the first time we have encountered such a thing. It looks like a scholar, but why is he so bad in character?" Chen Chong said angrily.
Liu Yunxiang laughed, "The character of scholars may not be good, and those who do not study may not be bad. If you encounter such disputes in the future, you must first invite people to talk to them, and you cannot ruin the reputation of Nanmozhai."
"Yes, the little one remembers."
Not long after, the scholar ran in with sweat, and the woman followed him. The woman was carrying a basket. When she came into contact with Liu Yunxiang's gaze, she quickly lowered her head.
"Why are you going to be slow? Come in!" The scholar drank to the woman.
The woman hesitated for a moment and walked in.
"Tell them quickly that the inkstone you bought that day was only ten taels of silver, so let them quickly return ten taels of gold." The scholar urged the woman and said.
The woman was carrying a load, putting rice cakes and planting vegetables, which made her waist unable to straighten. She was probably urged by the scholar to run all the way, and her forehead was sweating and panting at this moment.
Liu Yunxiang walked over and poured a cup of tea, "Put down the shoulder pole first, come and have a drink of tea."
The woman still didn't dare to look up, slowly put down the shoulder pole, shook her head, "I'm not thirsty, I won't drink anymore."
Liu Yunxiang still stuffed the teacup into the woman's hand, "Don't worry, drink a little tea first to take a few breaths."
"What tea should I drink? Don't be too slow for me, tell them quickly!" The scholar pushed the woman anxiously.
The woman was holding a teacup in her hand. Because of this, the water in the cup spilled on the ground. She quickly bent over and wiped dry with a veil.
"I……"
