Su Qingyue wasnât influenced at all. She didnât know Brother Chen well, and even if he didnât marry her, he could marry someone else. She didnât care too much about all this. She thought that even though she looked so ugly, she still had some charm with her peach blossom luck.
âBeautiful girl, beautiful girl!â Another male voice called out.
She looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young man selling miscellaneous items at a roadside stall.
Qingyue saw a plain-looking woman walking by and thought the young man wasnât calling for her, so she didnât stop.
âBeautiful girl in a pale yellow dress, beautiful girl!â The young man called again, waving his hand.
Su Qingyue pointed at herself with her index finger. Because the plain-looking woman next to her was wearing green clothes.
He nodded, âYes, you.â
âWhatâs the matter?â She wondered if it was another marriage proposal. Today, her peach blossom luck really was pouring in!
âCome over, and weâll talk in detail.â The miscellaneous goods peddler winked at her.
Oh! Su Qingyue felt electrified all over her body. It seemed that he had taken a fancy to her too. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
People were admiring her; she couldnât just simply ignore them. She needed to make it clear that she already had a husband, so they wouldnât waste their precious youth pining for her.
So she walked over, âThen letâs talk in detail, whatâs your idea, young man?â Being constantly confessed to, she didnât intentionally want to seduce people.
As the saying goes, you donât have to love others, but others have to love you.
People with too much charm, canât help it.
âI think the girl has a graceful figure, beautiful as a flower, and elegant. Her skin is as delicate as snowflakesâ¦â He praised her vigorously, âJust think, someone as wonderful as youâ¦â
She was very receptive, âKeep going, keep going.â
âYour skin, it can be even more delicate.â He picked up a box of rouge from his stall, âSee this? This is rouge imported from the Western regions. Itâs really good. When you put it on your faceâ¦â
Wow! After listening for so long, it turned out he was just a salesperson. She had seen his intentions early on, but just now, there was another vendor confessing his love for her. Now another one came along, and she thought her radiant charm had bewitched another person, âPromoting such high-end goods, do I look like someone with money?â
âUhâ¦â He looked at her clothes and saw the purple embroidery on them, with her air of class, she looked rich. But upon closer inspection, her clothes were made of the cheapest coarse cloth, that meant she was poor.
He had gone through so much trouble; he couldnât go away without selling something. He quickly switched to a box of the worst quality rouge, âThis box of rouge is cheap and practical, suitable for you.â
âYou, you, do I look old?â
âYou look very young.â He laughed hard, âBeautiful girl, with your âoutstandingâ appearance, a touch of rouge would hide your flaws⦠no, enhance your beauty, enhance, enhance definitely.â
âSo you think I canât go out without makeup.â She suddenly understood, âNo wonder you stopped me. To be able to call me beautiful, you can be considered a talent.â
âNot at all, not at all.â He shyly smiled, âWill the girl buy it?â
âHow much for a box?â
âOne tael of silver.â He looked at her, so ugly that even if he went against his conscience and called her beautiful, it wouldnât change the fact that she looked frightening, âSince youâre so âbeautifulâ, Iâll give it to you for six hundred cents.â
âWow, you just discounted it by two hundred cents,â She opened the rouge box, âI donât even want this kind of poor-quality stuff if you give it to me for free.â
