The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu reached out and felt the thickness of the material. It was indeed thicker than the cloth she bought before.

"How can I sell this piece of cloth?"

Seeing Yan Shu asking for a piece of cloth, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became brighter.

"A horse is worth two or three denarii."

"So expensive?" Yan Shu frowned, looking hesitant.

"Girl, our cotton is much thicker than other cottons, and the texture is very soft. It's definitely worth the price."

Yan Shu looked at the shopkeeper: "Two and one, I want four."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.

"how much do you need?"

"Four."

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and pretended to be distressed and said, "Girl, can you raise the price a little more?"

Yan Shu smiled, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Uncle, let's go to the house opposite and have a look."

Jiang Ci stood at the door and looked at her, raising the corners of his lips: "Okay."

Seeing that Yan Shu was leaving, the shopkeeper became anxious.

"Girl, wait a minute, if you really want it, it's two taels."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.

"The shopkeeper is a happy man, help me wrap it up."

"Okay, wait a moment."

After paying eight taels of silver, Jiang Ci carried the cotton cloth onto the donkey cart.

Yan Shu covered the rag on the cart with the cloth and followed him into the donkey cart.

Jiang Ci asked: "Where to go next?"

Yan Shu thought for a while: "Go to the study."

study?

Jiang Ci looked at her with some confusion, but didn't ask any more questions.

Driving the donkey cart all the way to the nearest study room.

When we arrived at the study, because it was not far from Hongle Academy, there were quite a few scholars inside.

After Yan Shu and Jiang Ci walked in, they walked straight towards the bookcase area.

"Brother, let's see if there are any books in the photo?"

Jiang Ci looked sideways at her: "Sister-in-law, did you come to the study to buy me books?"

Yan Shu smiled gently at him.

"Although I am preparing for my escape, my uncle's studies cannot be delayed. Reading more books is definitely a good idea."

Jiang Ci's face remained calm and composed, but there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

"Sister-in-law is very thoughtful."

"Let's see if you can find anything you like? By the way, I want to buy two books for my third brother that are suitable for beginners. Does my uncle have any recommendations?"

Jiang Ci took down two books from the bookcase.

"These two books should be suitable for Brother Yan to read. I also have some books in my room that I bought when I was a beginner. I will give them to Brother Yan when the time comes."

Yan Shu said happily: "That's great. In fact, my third brother is very smart. If he can go to the academy to study like Yan Peng, he will definitely study better than Yan Peng."

Although it is a little late for the third brother to start studying now, as long as the third brother is willing to work hard, even if he cannot obtain a meritorious degree, studying more will benefit him throughout his life.

"Uncle, take your time and watch, I'll go look around."

Yan Shu noticed that the bookshelves in the front row were selling popular painting books.

She hadn't read any picture books from this era, so she wanted to take a look at them.

Walking to the bookshelf, Yan Shu looked at the row of books neatly arranged in front of him.

Something like "Fox Sanniang", "Two or Three Romance Stories between a Scholar and a Female Ghost", "Liao Zhai: The Sophora Girl Repays a Kindness", etc., to sum it up in one sentence: The scholar is very busy, either falling in love with the vixen, or having sex with the female ghost. Erotica.

I glanced at it casually for a few times, decided it was not interesting, and prepared to leave.

At this time, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from the side.

"Ah, so ugly!"

"Are you a human or a ghost? In my entire life, I have never seen a woman as ugly as you."

Yan Shu curiously looked at the woman who was speaking. The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and was wearing a red skirt. She was even elegantly dressed. He could tell at a glance that she was a young lady from a wealthy family.

There was a woman in front of her who fell to the ground. The hat she originally wore fell to the ground, revealing a face covered with acne.

All the guests in the study looked at the woman on the floor in unison. Some scholars turned away in disgust when they saw the woman's ugly appearance.

The woman hurriedly covered her face with her hands, stood up in a hurry, and wanted to escape from here.

The girl behind her had a hint of malicious intent in her eyes, and raised her foot to step on the woman's skirt.

The woman exclaimed, losing her balance and throwing herself towards the ground.

At the critical moment, a slender jade hand grabbed the woman's back collar in time and pulled her back narrowly.

The girl turned pale with fright. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Yan Shu because of her extreme low self-esteem.

"Thank you... thank you girl."

"Miss!"

A maid in a green skirt hurried in, picked up the curtain hat on the ground and hurriedly helped her lady put it on.

"It's all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of the young lady."

The maid choked with sobs and helped the woman straighten her curtain and hat, and glared at the girl in red with angry eyes.

"Miss Gu, my young lady has no enmity with you. Why do you always tease my young lady again and again?"

The girl in red chuckled, her voice was as clear as a silver bell, but the words she spoke were extremely vicious.

"It is said outside that Miss Xu San is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she wears a hat all day long and does not show her true face. I thought she was some kind of fairy, but she turned out to be an extremely ugly monster!"

Yan Shu looked at the girl in red: "Girl, keep your moral integrity when speaking. Ridiculing other people's looks will not do you any good. Instead, it will only make people think you are mean."

Gu Hongying snorted softly and glanced at Yan Shu with her arrogant eyes.

Gu Hongying originally saw that the other party was dressed in coarse clothes and didn't even have a decent headdress in her bun. Gu Hongying didn't take Yan Shu seriously at all. When she saw Yan Shu's appearance clearly, a hint of jealousy appeared on her coquettish and domineering face.

As the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Hongying was not only from a good background, but also had an outstanding appearance, which gave her an arrogant and conceited temperament.

The moment she saw Yan Shu, the jealousy in her heart grew uncontrollably.

Humph, she really wanted to slash this face with a knife.

"Who do you think you are, you dare to teach me a lesson? If you are sensible, just get out of here."

"Girl, thank you for your help. This is a grudge between me and Miss Gu. You don't have to make Miss Gu angry for me."

The Gu family has a big business. Although the Xu family is also a wealthy family in Chiyang, there is still a big gap compared with the Gu family.

She couldn't drag this kind girl down.

Jiang Ci walked to Yan Shu and said, "The books have been selected, let's go."

Yan Shu had no intention of meddling in other people's business. He nodded and followed Jiang Ci towards the front desk, preparing to pay and leave.

When she saw Jiang Ci, Gu Hongying's eyes seemed to be glued to him.

"It's you?"

Jiang Ci glanced at Gu Hongying coldly, made sure he had no impression, and turned around to leave silently.

Gu Hongying rushed in front of Jiang Ci.

"Young Master, don't you remember me? I lost the silk silk outside Hongle Academy last month, and Young Master helped me find it."
