Chapter 21 A Group of Actors

The lights in the Liu family were not out for a long time.

On the second day, Liu Jiqian and Liu Niangzi walked back to Chuntang together.

There were a lot of patients in Huichun Hall, and Liu Jiqian lined up to let his daughter wait aside.

Not long after, Sun Ximei came out of the inner room. Seeing Liu Jiqian, she came up and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to queue up. My grandfather said that she would let Miss Liu follow me into the inner room directly."

"Ah! Go to the inner room," Liu Jiqian was stunned. The registration fee in the inner room was very expensive, and it was three hundred yuan.

Sun Ximei ignored Liu Jiqian and pulled Liu Yuchan into the inner room.

Liu Jiqian felt a little sad. It wasn't because he felt sorry for the medical expenses. He suddenly felt that maybe his daughter's condition was very serious, but it was a woman's hidden disease. He was a big man and could not ask, "Oh, what should I do?"

Liu Jiqian sat anxiously on the bench waiting for the news.

There are patients waiting around, and there are also families of patients.

"Hey, have you heard that Yang's husband was accused yesterday."

"Ah? The Yang family's husband? Who is it?"

"Who else can it be? Yang Huaiyan, one of the four talents who are inferior to beasts. I heard that he was named the four talents of Suzhou because he plagiarized other people's poems. Moreover, I also heard that it was his father who secretly used his relationships that he could pass the state examination and achieve fame."

"It's really a person who knows the face but not the heart."

The two of them were chatting, and another old woman came over to interrupt, "It's not just that, this Yang family man heard that he often harmed his maid. Oh, I've seen that maid. He is only twelve years old and looks so beautiful. No wonder I haven't seen that maid recently. I hope I won't be tortured to death by the beast."

"The life of slaves these days is thinner than paper."

"Tell me, it's fine if he has a Dragon 1 Yang habit, but he also likes to torture little girls. Such beasts are not allowed to punish him."

"Hey, yes, I don't know which girl from a family will marry him, so that would be a big trouble."

"You all whisper, I heard from others that the beast had married a concubine before, but was tortured to death by him..."

The voices of several women became lower and lower. In the end, someone coughed, and the few people stopped talking about this matter and instead talked about family matters.

Liu Jiqian's face turned pale when he heard this. Is this true? No wonder the old housekeeper said that to me yesterday. If Yu Chan married him, it would be great!

He was frightened and Liu Jiqian was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he had not really gotten married yet, so he returned Yang Huaiyan's bride price and said he would give up everything!

Just as she was thinking, Sun Ximei and Liu Yuchan walked out hand in hand.

Sun Ximei waved to Liu Jiqian.

Liu Jiqian came over.

Sun Ximei handed the medicine bag in her hand to Liu Jiqian and ordered expressionlessly: "Shopkeeper Liu, my grandfather said that although Mrs. Liu's condition is not very serious, it will have a great impact on the future. She is mainly in a bad mood and has a stagnant liver qi. If this continues, it will not only affect childbirth, but also have a tendency to commit suicide. My grandfather reminds you not to make Mrs. Liu angry again."

Liu Jiqian was shocked and was about to answer, but a few people came in from the door of Huichuntang.

"It's morning for little princess!" A shop guy greeted those people.

The woman in the lead just nodded and saw Sun Ximei, she ran over intimately, "Sister Mei, have you finished your work? I have something big to come to you."

The identity of this princess is not a secret in Suzhou City. In fact, from the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, for hundreds of years, the emperor has many concubines, more children, and other princes of the opposite sex, resulting in many positions such as princesses, princesses, and father-in-laws. However, these people cannot serve in the court affairs and only enjoy salaries. Therefore, when they see the princess, the people in the city will not feel too strange.

Sun Ximei nodded and smiled, "Why did you come so early?"

The person who came was naturally Li Menghan.

Li Menghan secretly glanced at Liu Jiqian, then pretended not to know each other, and laughed: "Of course there is a good thing, a great thing."

"What, you come and find me happy again." Sun Ximei also handed the remaining medicine bag to Liu Jiqian.

Li Menghan laughed in a low voice and said, "Sister Mei, please listen to me. It's really a good thing, a good thing to make money. I won't come to discuss it for you."

"Tell me, I'm done," Sun Ximei clapped her hands.

"Hehe, Sister Mei, let's open a cloth shop and make money." Li Menghan looked innocent and could not tell that she was acting.

Liu Jiqian and Liu Yuchan were originally planning to leave, but suddenly they heard Li Menghan talk about making money in the cloth shop, and Liu Jiqian was slowing down.

Sun Ximei pouted and reached out to pat Li Menghan's head, "I'm asking you to think a lot! It's so easy to open a cloth shop. If you want to buy hemp, textile, and dye, you have to sell it."

Li Menghan said aggrievedly: "Sister Mei, believe me. This time, it's really OK. Do you know that our Suzhou City needs an extra quota to make royal tribute silk. Think about it, Sister Mei, the imperial court needs a lot of quantity at one time, and the price is still high. We just need to buy a cloth shop and specialize in royal tribute silk, so we can make money and it won't be troublesome, right?"

"This is, but, can you get that quota?" Sun Ximei nodded and asked deliberately.

"Of course, that's true. Yesterday, the Weaver Department drank with my father at my house. I heard secretly that the Weaver Department used to owe my father a favor and was about to pay it back with this quota. He said that my father would recommend one, so I immediately thought of you, hehe, Sister Mei, this time it's a good opportunity," Li Menghan smiled cutely, without any acting.

"Well, let's take the time to make a conclusion. You and I don't have any experience in business management, so you can't be careless," Sun Ximei nodded and walked in.

Li Menghan pulled Sun Ximei's arm and followed her to the clinic, "Then let's go to Hongchen Inn and chat while eating. By the way, we can also call Song Kai to open a cloth shop together. He has many ideas. Since he can bring Hongchen Inn back to life, he will definitely be able to run the cloth shop well..."

In a blink of an eye, Li Menghan, Sun Ximei, Dabao, Erbao and others had already entered the inner room.

Liu Jiqian stood there blankly, feeling very angry. No wonder Yang Huaiyan, this bastard, urged him so hard. He always wanted to get married early. It turned out that he could not get the quota for the imperial tribute at all. He was going to cheat himself! Once he got married to his daughter, he would not get the quota for the imperial tribute at that time, and he would have no place to deal with it even if he cried to death!

I still have three doubts about all the rumors about Yang Huaiyan before, but now there is no doubt at all!

Liu Jiqian's hands trembled a few times, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

At this time, Liu Yuchan stood quietly. Although she didn't have too many expressions on her face, she was surprised. She naturally realized that all this was acting. However, how could Song Kai find so many actors! Song Kai, a nerd, how could he know Sun Ximei, Li Menghan, Sun Tang, and these people would act willingly for their marriage!

Here Liu Jiqian took Liu Yuchan home. As soon as he arrived at home, Yang Huaiyan walked into the door with two servants smiling.

"Uncle Liu, my father said he would treat you tonight," Yang Huaiyan bowed his hand and said to Liu Jiqian with a smile, with a fan in his waist.

"Hmph! Yang Lang, you are here at the right time. I have something to say to you," Liu Jiqian said slowly with a gloomy face.

"Uncle Liu has something to say, even though he is right," Yang Huaiyan felt that Liu Jiqian's tone was a little wrong, but he didn't know why.

"That's right. I regret this marriage. You can take the bride gift away later. In addition, I will compensate you the Yang family with a generous gift," Liu Jiqian said coldly.

"What did you say!" Yang Huaiyan straightened up and looked at Liu Jiqian. Then he realized that this was not good. He quickly laughed again and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, this matter is not a joke. You also know that if you are dismissed from the engagement, it will not only affect my reputation, but also my father's face. My father is in charge of the water transportation, docks, and your goods in the entire Wu County..."

"Enough! Yang Huaiyan! No need to say anything else. I'll use it together, but I'll leave this dear! Come on, bring a generous gift and give away the guests!" After Liu Jiqian said that, he strode into the hall and ignored Yang Huaiyan again.

Yang Huaiyan stood stupidly for a while, then blushed and pointed at Liu Jiqian and said loudly: "My surname is Liu, don't regret it! Do you know that the quota of the imperial tribute is still in my hands!"

"Get out!" Liu Jiqian was furious and scolded. Yang Huaiyan still wanted to deceive himself until now, and his face was really hateful.

The old housekeeper and two servants took the bride price and more than ten scoops of copper coins, and threw them all outside the mansion, and then closed the door tightly.

"What the hell is going on!" Yang Huaiyan said angrily.

The two servants did not dare to speak. After a while, the servant Yang Quan whispered: "Young Master, recently... there are some bad rumors recently. Is it... Is it related to those?"

"What rumor! Say it!" Yang Huaiyan's face turned red and his veins were protruding.

"Yes... are you... you are also tempted by Long 1 Yang, and you wantonly insult the maids in your family, and..." Yang Quan's voice became lower and lower.

"What else!" Yang Huaiyan turned around suddenly, grabbed Yang Quan's collar with both hands, and Yang Yong, who was standing beside him, was so scared that he quickly retreated.

"Also, they said you had married a concubine before, but were tortured to death. They also said that your name as a talented man was plagiarized, and that his fame was obtained by the master's connection," Yang Quan simply told all the rumors.

"What! Who kills me so much!" Yang Huaiyan's hands trembled.

"Young master, don't worry, let's check... check," Yang Quan knelt on the ground and said hurriedly.
