8. Reciprocity

At this time, an eleven or two-year-old boy walked to the matchmaker: "Sister Matchmaker, are you really going to get married?"

The boy was an orphan, and thanks to the matchmaker taking him in the opera troupe, he would have died long ago.

His nickname is Ahu, and he always regards the matchmaker as his biological sister.

When he heard that the matchmaker was leaving, Ah Hu looked at her nervously.

The matchmaker was about to speak when she saw a thin boy about ten years old coming over and said pitifully: "Sister, can you take me with you?"

The thin boy is called Monkey, he is smart and an orphan, and stays in the opera troupe with Ah Hu.

He knew that the people in the opera troupe, except for the matchmaker, regarded themselves and Ah Hu as burdens. If the matchmaker left, those people would drive them away from the opera troupe if they didn't bully them.

Then several people came to ask the matchmaker if she was going to get married and why she left?

They are all vulnerable in the opera troupe, and if they leave the matchmaker, they will be helpless and have difficulty gaining a foothold.

The matchmaker looked at them: "I'm tired and don't want to sell my skills anymore. Please understand!"

After a moment of pause, she said again: "If you are not afraid of hardship, you can go out with me."

The matchmaker did not say that she left the troupe to go to business. Whether everyone would risk following her depends on how they chose.

In the end, except for Ah Hu and Monkey, there were only two women with young children who expressed their willingness to follow the matchmaker, and the others chose to stay in the troupe and continue to hang out to keep warm.

The matchmaker distributed the two ingots of silver that Li Yu gave her to the people who stayed, and then left with Ah Hu and others.

Li Yu looked at the matchmaker and came over with a few people, so he came forward: "You're all hungry, go for dinner first!"

Although the matchmaker brought everyone to women and children, Li Yu did not dislike him at all; as long as he was sincere and able to do things, there would be no problem.

"good!"

The matchmaker agreed and led everyone to an inn.

In fact, she was also very nervous, not knowing whether what Li Yu said was true or not. If she lies, they would fall into a desperate situation.

After a few people had a good meal, the matchmaker asked for two rooms in the inn, and she and two women and children were one room, Li Yu, Ahu, and Monkey lived in another room.

Although Li Yu was not used to it, he had no choice but to save money.

Who asked him to tell the story to give all the silver matchmakers to the troupe, and the matchmaker and others didn't have much savings, so they could only save as much as possible.

When he woke up the next morning, Li and Yu asked the monkey to call the matchmaker and some people to their room to discuss the matter.

He took out three mirrors, four boxes of soap, ten lighters, five bags of sugar and salt each, and said to the matchmaker and others: "I will go to the Chongwang Mansion to tell stories in the past two days. You can find a way to sell these things!"

Li Yu explained their purpose in detail and asked everyone to try their best to sell to merchants, because merchants are rich but have no status, so it is unlikely that they will make a moth.

What he was most worried about was not that he could not sell the things, but that he was worried that someone would deprive them of power. This was also the reason why Li Yu did not intend to sell the things to the Chong Prince's Mansion.

When the matchmaker and others saw what they took out, their eyes lit up.

After listening to Li Yu's introduction, they couldn't help but feel full of expectations.

Originally, the matchmaker was worried that Li Yu would fool her, but when she saw these new things in front of her, she finally had more confidence in him.

In order to make his fame famous, Li Yu agreed to the matchmaker's proposal and sold it publicly in the bustling street market.

First gather people together, then try the example, and then sell them at the right time.

There are many people watching the fun and are also interested in things, but few people buy them.

We worked hard for a long time and only sold a few lighters together to get hundreds of dollars. The matchmaker and others were inevitably a little depressed.

“The harvest is pretty good, keep working hard!”

So Li Yu encouraged everyone: "It's just now that it's just started, and it's not good to sell well, so don't worry. After a long time, if everyone knows these things, people will naturally buy them."

He had no hope for public sale, so he just used it as an advertisement to let everyone know that there is this thing first. Once the road is paved, the road ahead will be easier.

After hearing this, the matchmaker and others nodded repeatedly.

They can see that many people are interested, but the price is expensive and not many people are willing to spend money to buy it.

Besides, after leaving the troupe, they had no better way out, so they could only walk forward with a tough bullet.

Li Yu stayed for a while and then went to the royal palace to tell stories as agreed.

What he didn't know was that in addition to King Chong Zhu Youtu, there was an additional listener next to him, Zhu Suwan, Princess Anning who met Li Yu yesterday.

Yesterday, after Li Yu left, Zhu Suwan happily returned to the room with the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt satisfied. For some reason, Li Yu kept appearing in her mind.

Zhu Suwan was very curious about where Li Yu got this mirror and why she gave it to her. Logically speaking, Li Yu should have read a lot of books, so why did he go to the royal palace to tell stories?

She was full of curiosity and wanted to know about Li Yu, so when she heard that Li Yu had arrived at the palace, Zhu Suwan quietly took her personal maid Xiaohong and Xiaocui to the side for eavesdropping.

Listening to Li Yu's words, Zhu Suwan was quickly attracted by the gripping story and felt that she had become the beautiful, kind and noble princess in the story. She met the handsome and talented prince charming in her dream, and unfolded a lingering, heart-wrenching and earth-shaking love myth.

When Li Yu finished telling the story and left the palace, Zhu Suwan, who came to her senses, immediately stopped him with Xiaohong and Xiaocui.

"The Caomin has met the princess!"

Li Yu looked at Zhu Suwan in surprise: "I wonder what the princess has to give?"

If it was a coincidence that the royal palace encountered yesterday, it was impossible to bump into it so by chance today; it was not a coincidence, it was Zhu Suwan who wanted to find him.

"I like the mirror you gave yesterday. It was too hasty and there was nothing for you!"

Zhu Suwan asked Xiaohong to call the guards in the royal palace who led the way aside, and smiled and said to Li Yu: "I don't care about the importance of giving gifts, but about my heart. I have always carried this jade pendant, I hope you like it!"

After saying that, she took off a very exquisite jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Li Yu.

"this……"

Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned. It was neither right to answer, nor was it not to answer.

Although he was very thick-skinned, he felt really sorry for changing the mirror that cost two yuan each and the jade pendant that was worth a lot of money; he felt like he was using the so-called martial arts secrets to replace all the children's wealth.

"Everyone says that you have a good relationship. If you don't accept it, do you look down on me?"

Zhu Suwan put the jade pendant into Li Yu's hands without saying a word. In order to avoid accidentally breaking the jade pendant, the two of them would inevitably come into contact with each other.

She thought that Li Yu's family must be in bad condition, so she would perform. But she knew that he was not only outstanding in appearance, extraordinary in temperament, but also had a decent manner. He should have received a good education, so no wonder he could tell such a moving story.
