Chapter 6 Rouge
Jinling City.

Wen Ruyan looked at the whole city carefully, trying to find some traces of his previous life, but as he had thought in advance, the two cities only had the same name, but there was no trace of the same thing. The degree of prosperity is not ordinary.

Looking around, there is a lot of traffic, and there is an endless stream of businessmen.On the main street, there are neatly placed stalls selling various things.Selling fruits and vegetables, rouge gouache, sugar people, candied gourds, hawking, bargaining, the whole Jinling City is full of excitement.

Wei Xiaoxiao seemed to like the atmosphere here very much. As soon as he entered the city, he was attracted by the bustle inside. He grabbed Wen Ruyan's arm and ran east and west.You have to stop for a while in front of any booth and take a good look at the various objects placed on it.

Looking at Wei Xiaoxiao's appearance, Wen Ruyan didn't say anything, after all, it's just a girl's natural instinct to let go, there's nothing wrong with it.So Wen Ruyan just followed her closely to prevent too many people from getting lost.

Fortunately, Wei Xiaoxiao hasn't forgotten his purpose of coming here. After wandering around for a while, he led Wen Ruyan to the restaurant of Lin's family.

Along the way, Wei Xiaoxiao had already made it clear to Wen Ruyan that the fish that Father Wei caught every month would be sent to the restaurant opened by the Lin family, and at the end of the month, he could come over and settle the bill.

The Lin family is considered a big family in Jinling City. It has been in business for generations and has always had a good reputation.But nowadays, some people always say that the Lin family has begun to decline, because the members of the Lin family are old and childless, and only one daughter manages all the business of the Lin family.

In such a feudal society, when a woman shows up in public, she will always provoke gossip from outsiders.However, Miss Lin doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, and manages the whole family conscientiously.Whenever Wei Xiao talked about this young miss of the Lin family, there would always be a hint of admiration on his face.Who said women are inferior to men?

However, according to Wei Xiaoxiao's novel, the current situation of the Lin family is indeed a little bit bad. There is only one woman to maintain such a big family, which will always attract others' covetousness.For example, another big family in Jinling City, the eldest son of the Wang family, wanted to marry Ms. Lin. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the reason why the prince wanted to marry Ms. Lin was just to plot the Lin family's property.

The young man of the Wang family is not a good guy, he is frivolous, he fights cocks and dogs during the day, molested good women in the street, and always hangs around in romantic places at night, so the Wang family came to propose marriage repeatedly, but even Miss Lin's Can't even see each other.Then, when she became angry from embarrassment, she began to trip up the Lin family secretly.

In addition to running a restaurant, the Lin family also runs several cloth shops.As for the Wang family, they sent people to make trouble in restaurants all day long, or to slander the Lin family's cloth shop with inferior fabrics, so as to hit the Lin family's business.

Although this method is shameless, the Lin family's business has declined sharply because of this.Miss Lin knew that the Wang family was playing tricks, but there was nothing she could do.

There should be a lot of people eating at this hour, but Wen Ruyan could see that there were only a few people sitting sparsely in the whole restaurant, and the business was quite deserted.

But even so, when the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Wei Xiaoxiao coming, he didn't make things difficult for her, and simply settled the bill for this month.

Wen Ruyan saw it and nodded secretly.It seems that this young lady of the Lin family is very principled and has a bottom line.

Seeing that Wei Xiaoxiao took the three liang of silver given by the shopkeeper, then took out a very delicate purse from his bosom, carefully put the silver into it, and put it in his bosom.

Wen Ruyan sighed again, remembering that when he was in Yanjing, those rich kids would probably spend hundreds of taels of silver for a meal.But Wei Xiaoxiao regards this mere three taels of silver as a treasure.

No matter in which era, there is always a clear gap between rich and poor.

However, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. Some people will feel sorry for themselves every day because of this, and will have a strong hatred of the rich in their hearts, but some people do not have this feeling at all. Together, we still live happily every day.

In fact, everyone has their own story, in which we cry and laugh, you can't go into other people's stories, you can only see the surface of the story.But if you are put in other people's stories as the protagonist, you may find that, oh, so their lives are just like this.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wei Xiaoxiao planned to take Wen Ruyan back to the village, but when she passed by a small stall selling rouge and gouache, she stopped in her tracks.

Looking at the exquisite bottles and jars on the stall, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"The little girl is so beautiful, buy some rouge and gouache. The ones I have here are all top-quality. I guarantee that you can dress up like a fairy." The peddler saw the girl in front of him struggling, and persuaded her.

Hearing the hawker's words, Wei Xiaoxiao's eyes became more hopeful, everyone has the love of beauty.But she frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Seeing this, Wen Ruyan said, "If you want to buy it, just buy it. Girls also need these things to dress up."

But Wei Xiaoxiao still shook his head and said, "I still don't want to buy it. It's ten cents, it's too expensive. Save the ten cents and buy some pork and a pot of rice bar for dad."

After saying this, Wei Xiaoxiao seemed to think about it all of a sudden, without frowning, she turned around with a smile and was ready to leave.

What a filial and good girl.

"Boss, pass this to me."

Wen Ruyan's voice came from behind Wei Xiaoxiao.After she turned her head, she realized that Wen Ruyan did not follow her, but stood in front of the small stall, took out some scraps of silver from the purse and handed it to the boss, and then took two exquisite small boxes from the boss. .

"Well, here it is for you."

Wen Ruyan walked up to Wei Xiaoxiao, and handed over the two boxes in his hand.

Wei Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while before she realized, although Wen Ruyan's actions made her feel very warm, she waved her hands quickly and said, "Brother Liu, I can't want this, my father taught me since I was a child, not to take other people's money easily. thing."

Wen Ruyan had black lines on his face, no matter how Wei Xiaoxiao made himself look like a liar who deceived underage girls.

So he hurriedly said: "This is the first time I give something to a girl. If you refuse, it will hurt my heart too much."

Hearing Wen Ruyan say that this is the first time to send something to a girl, Wei Xiaoxiao didn't know why, but she was very happy, but she still shook her head and said, "Brother Liu, you should hurry up and return it, I really don't know why." I can't want it."

Seeing this, Wen Ruyan turned his head and blinked at the boss, and asked, "Boss, can this thing be refunded?"

The two of them were only a few steps away from the stall, and the boss heard the conversation between the two of them very clearly. Now that he heard Wen Ruyan winking at him, he said very politely: "My little brother, you have already taken the things. I accepted it too, but I can’t return it.”

"You see, I can't return it anymore, and I don't need this thing. Since you don't want it, I'll throw it away." After saying this, Wen Ruyan made a gesture to throw away the thing in his hand.

Wei Xiaoxiao saw it, and quickly reached out to snatch the two boxes over, and said, "I want it, can't I? Throw away the things you spend money on, you rich sons are such a waste. But Brother Liu, go back Afterwards, I will give you a small gift, you can't refuse!"

"Okay, okay, I won't refuse, let's go, let's go back."

Wei Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ruyan whose mouth was slightly raised, and couldn't help thinking that he was really warm.

Just as the two of them were about to go back, there was a sudden burst of laughter behind them.

"Ah, isn't this the little lady of the Wei family? I'm buying rouge powder. Do you want me to buy all the products from this stall and give them to you?"
