Chapter 7 - 7 6 Xuanbao Sells Persimmons
Chapter 7: Chapter 6 Xuanbao Sells Persimmons Chapter 7: Chapter 6 Xuanbao Sells Persimmons “Brother Ruo Shui, long time no see, are you well? Are you heading into town to buy something?” Yang Qixiang hurried out and stopped Ruo Shui in his tracks, asking with a knowing smile.
The elder of the Ruo Family had died in battle, Ruo Hai had gone mad, no longer a Chiliarch, and the Ruo Family had fallen into decline. Ruo Shui had dropped out of school and was so poor that he resorted to hunting and copying books for a living.
How could he possibly have the silver to buy such fine persimmons? He must be coming into town to sell them.
First, he glanced at the two baskets of persimmons on the cart, then his gaze brushed over Madam Liu’s face and body.
Time seemed to have left no traces on her, and she possessed a distinct elegance even in her coarse clothes.
He had been stunned by her beauty at first sight back then!
He just wondered whether she regretted rejecting his marriage proposal back then to marry the penniless Ruo Shui?
He took another look at Xuanbao, the child really was lovely, with a complexion as delicate as jade and snow, but he heard she was simple-minded?
Fortunately, Madam Liu had refused him back then; having a simple-minded child would have been a disgrace he couldn’t afford.
Now his own daughter was lively and endearing, bringing him joy. He hurriedly beckoned to his wife and daughter, “Qiqi, come over and pay your respects to your Uncle Ruo Shui and Auntie.”
Hen Lan walked out with her daughter, glancing at the clothes on Madam Liu and feeling secretly relieved that she had resolutely broken off the engagement with Ruo Shui. Otherwise, she would be the one wearing coarse clothes today, enduring hardship selling persimmons on the street!
Yang Qiqi took one look at the three of them and then turned to hug Hen Lan’s leg shyly.
She didn’t want to call a pauper uncle; their clothes were worse than those of the servants in her house.
Hen Lan said with a smile, “The child is shy, please don’t mind.”
What do you think?
