Countryside Romance

He had been sizing up these three ever since they entered the room. Other than the young man in the cyan robe who was right at the back, the other two were dressed in plain clothes. They looked just like those lucky fellows from the countryside who came to the capital to try their luck. The shopkeeper had seen a lot of people who wanted to create a new world in the capital, but most of them were unable to open a shop because the land deed or rent was too expensive. Thus, after hearing Mu Yun's question, the storekeeper didn't hide the fact that he had directly stated the highest price.

He didn't believe that these people had enough silver to buy any of his shops.

Mu Yun didn't care about the indifferent attitude of the boss. From her point of view, this storekeeper was indeed a "hidden dragon" and a "tiger". He should indeed have some temper.

However, 362 yuan was a bit too much for Mu Yun.

"Aiya, it's you guys!"

Just as she was hesitating, a surprised voice sounded from her right.

She turned her head and saw that it was the old woman who had saved her last night.

The old lady had already changed into a new set of equipment, looking very radiant. She looked more than ten years younger than last night's panicked appearance. When Mu Yun saw her, she actually didn't recognize her for a moment.

She was very happy to see Mu Yun, so she pulled her hand and said:

"I had forgotten to react to yesterday's events because I was too panicked. By the time I regained my senses, I was already in my residence. I was thinking of finding you and thanking you in person. " As the old woman spoke, she saw the detailed information of a shop in her hands and asked, "Lady, are you looking to buy a shop?"

Mu Yun had already recovered from her shock. She nodded and said,

"Yes."

The old woman then asked her what kind of shop she wanted to open, and Mu Yun told her thoughts to the madame.

The two of them asked and answered each other passionately.

The shopkeeper was stunned. He never thought that the customer he neglected would actually be the boss' savior. For a moment, his heart was beating like a drum.

At this point, the madame turned to him and asked,

"What's the lowest price for this shop?"

The shopkeeper replied with cold sweat dripping down his back:

"Mn, one …" "One thousand eight hundred."

The old woman frowned as she thought about it. Then, she stretched out her five fingers and counted. She smiled at Mu Yun and said,

"How about this, little girl. This store of mine is worth eight hundred taels of silver." However, this shop seems to have been set by someone. The appointed time is before noon tomorrow. If you bring any silver now, I can give you the land deed right away. If you don't have enough silver now, you must pay the money by noon tomorrow.

After the old woman told Mu Yun in detail about the matter of the shop, she added with a bit of shame.

Mu Yun was extremely grateful towards this. Even though the location was not bad, there wasn't a lot of people. Even a single store like this could only be bought with a price of a thousand taels of silver in a small town. At that time, their Lin Clan had to bitterly chew wild vegetables for a long time. "In a place like the capital city where every inch of land was extremely expensive, she only needed 800 taels of silver to buy a shop that occupied a large area of land. She simply could not be more satisfied.

She took hold of the old woman's hand and said:

"I was the one who took advantage of this matter in the first place. If I were to argue with you about this, it would seem that I am being stingy."

As she spoke, she said to Zerg:

"Then let's go back and get the silver now."

Ji Ge and Lin Jinyan turned around and walked out.

Mu Yun bade farewell to the madame and left.

On the way, the three of them felt very comfortable, thinking to order their dishes first and settle the matter with Pu Zi after they ate.

Before they reached the door of the inn, they saw someone pointing at them.

They were all thinking about something in their hearts and did not pay attention to it. Only when they arrived at the entrance of the inn did they clearly see what had happened.

In the inn, there was a young man surrounded by many stars in the sky. He was dressed inappropriately and looked extremely dishonest. He held the daughter of the inn owner close to her, smiling sinisterly as he spoke.

The shopkeeper's daughter was so angry that her face turned red and her eyes almost spouted fire.

What Mu Yun couldn't stand to see the most was men bullying women.

Since men were born with an advantage over women in terms of physical strength, they should rely on their advantage to punish evil and do good deeds, rather than aiming their fists at the woman who was helpless against them.

She took a big step forward and entered the inn as she roared:

"Stop!"

Even though Ziggy had already grabbed her arm. But he had stopped her, and failed to save her clever tongue.

"You men actually dare to bully a weak girl. Wouldn't it be a joke if others saw it?"

When the man saw Mu Yun's angry face dyed with a thin layer of clouds, his pretty face was exceptionally alluring due to the shallow blush. Compared to the average girl beside him, his face was extremely beautiful. He immediately let go of the manager's daughter and reached out to pull Mu Yun away.

His mouth was not idle as he said:

"Aiyo, whose wife is she? "She's so pretty. Since you don't want me to bully her, then I'll bully you first."

But Lin Jinyan was still standing by Mu Yun's side.

When he saw that man reach out to grab Mu Yun, he didn't even think before slapping the man's hand away and even pushed him back.

The man almost fell to the ground when he couldn't stand properly. Seeing that he was in such a sorry state and had lost his face in front of a beauty, he didn't care about anything else but to wave his hands to suppress Lin Jinyan.

Although Lin Jing had been captured, Ji Ge was still there.

He raised his hand to stop the bully's hand and said:

"How dare you! How dare you steal a woman from the capital?"

That bully didn't budge an inch and tightly held onto Mu Yun's hand. Although he couldn't pull her into his embrace and love her, he still held onto her and didn't let her dodge.

He stared into Ziggy's eyes and asked:

"And who are you?"

Zerg sneered.

"Top scholar of the imperial court, Ji Ge."

When he finished speaking, the bully was about to push away Ziggy's blocking hand.

He looked Ziggy up and down and said,

"Good boy, since you want to live safely in the capital, don't stop me from doing my work. Otherwise, before you even get a position of one and a half officials, your life will be lost."

Ziggy continued to sneer.

"I didn't know that the lives of the common folk in the capital were in your hands. "Since you are so capable, don't tell me you are from the Ministry of Justice."

Ziggy looked serious, but his eyes were mocking.

That bully felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that this kid had someone in the Ministry of Justice?

Even though his family had a bit of power, they still had a lot of power in the capital. However, the people he killed were all commoners, and they did not have much of a background. "If this kid had a big background and provoked himself, he might get a bit embarrassed.

As the bully thought this, he said stubbornly:

"What does it have to do with you where I come from? If you want to live well, then move away. "

"I've been studying in the capital for ten years, but I've never met anyone who talks to me like you did."

In that instant, Zerg's momentum was fully unleashed.

The bully was shocked. He thought, "This kid has been studying in the capital for ten years. Even if he were to meet some young men from influential families, he wouldn't be able to fight them." And from his tone, it seemed that he wasn't an ordinary student.

His heart was pounding.

When he first heard Ziggy say that he was the current champion, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there were only a few top scholar were able to become a champion every year, but in the end, only a few could become a champion under a single person and above tens of thousands of others. He had never worried that the person he would offend would be such a character, but now that he thought about it, this Minister Yuan seemed to have an extraordinary background. With this background, he would definitely be able to soar into the sky.

That bully thought of many things in that instant and loosened his grip on Mu Yun's arm.

When Jigger saw that he had picked up the subject, he too put down the action of obstructing him.

The man still pretended to be evil and said:

"Humph!" Today is your lucky day, so Yours Truly will let you off. "Let's go!"

The last word he said was to his men.

Although the subordinates were unwilling, they did not stop their steps when they saw their boss walk out of the inn.

The innkeeper was grateful that the three of them came over to help. He held his daughter's hand and bowed repeatedly as he said,

"Thank you …" Thank you, my three benefactors, for helping me escape this calamity. In the future, if there is anything you need my help with, I will do my best. Ah, that's right. It is inconvenient for you to stay in the capital. "I have a house in my house that I haven't used for many years. Although it may be a little rundown, it can still be considered as someone who can live in it. I can rent it at a low price, and it will be convenient for you all to do business in the capital."

He could already see that Giggle was a man of extraordinary power and literary prowess, and that he would be able to make his way through the world; and that the little girl who stood beside him, though she looked gentle and harmless, was the one who had overheard their request to buy a shop, and that this woman was the owner of the shop, and that they had said in their conversation that she already had two shops, but was not in the capital.

There were also a few times where he saw this man almost being hit by a pedestrian when he was walking down the road. However, the man only needed to slightly move his shoulder to avoid being hit, and if he didn't have a proper figure, then it would be impossible for him to do that. It was obvious that this man was hiding his strength.

The three of them were so powerful that he treated them as honored guests. In addition, they had helped him today. No matter what, he should have extended his hand to help them.

Mu Yun was pleasantly surprised and quickly agreed.

The three of them followed the attendant assigned by the shopkeeper to look at the mansion. They felt that the mansion was very agreeable to them and rented it out.

The house was very big, and it only cost them one or two taels of silver each month. It was about the same as the cost of staying in the inn for the night. It was really worth it.

That afternoon, the three of them moved their luggage to the mansion.

Mu Yun and the two men cleaned up the room together. In less than two hours, the room looked completely new.

He felt as if he had done nothing, as if in the blink of an eye the room had been newly built.

He could not help but laugh and say:

"Mu Yun, your actions are really nimble and capable. I just brought two buckets of water, wiped the table, and you cleaned up the entire room.

Seeing him tease her, Mu Yun was slightly annoyed and said:

"Wasn't it because you two men were so slow that you couldn't do anything well? That's why I worked so hard."

As Mu Yun said this, her eyes were filled with a smile. Although she said she was scolding, it seemed more like she was teasing.

The three of them burst out laughing.

Just as Mu Yun was about to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, he heard Ji Ge say:

"Mu Yun, your actions this afternoon were too reckless. That inn was already one of the best in the capital. Since that hoodlum dressed up like a hoodlum dared to act like that in the inn, his power must not be underestimated. It's good that you didn't hurt him when you rushed forward recklessly. That kind of person would definitely bite you for the rest of your life. Do you really want to hide away and hide away for the rest of your life? "

Mu Yun also knew what had happened today. She was a bit reckless, but she just couldn't bear to see the bullies in such a state, so she said:

"I will pay attention to it in the future."

Giggle nodded and said nothing more.
