Chapter 154 Miss Wu Ruoyan has taken a fancy to Brother 2!
Shen Ruyi and her younger brother knew that their second brother did not like the girl from the merchant's shop, as the girl was indeed thinner.
In this era, if a girl is too thin, she will seem unlucky. It is normal for her second brother to look down on her. Alas!
In fact, some girls are thin before marriage, but become fat after marriage and giving birth to children. My second brother is probably too immature.
After walking a little further, Uncle Wang Wu said in front of us: "The lady in front holding an oil-paper umbrella is the lady of the Wu family!"
This time, Shen Ruyi brought her brother to the shop selling oil paper, and Wei Wanshan had no choice but to follow them.
Shen Ruyi squeezed over with her brother, took a light blue oil-paper umbrella, opened it, and asked her brother: "Wanqian, is this umbrella suitable for me?"
Wei Wanqian looked up at his beautiful sister who was opening a sky-blue oil-paper umbrella. She looked like a beauty in a painting under the elegant umbrella. The little guy said happily, "It suits... Sister, shall we buy it?"
Wei Wanshan was also amazed. He took out his wallet and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is the oil-paper umbrella my sister is holding?"
The vendor smiled and said, "Oh, sir, you like this oil-paper umbrella. It's a good umbrella. It's not expensive at all, only fifty-five coins!"
Shen Ruyi nodded when she thought the price was reasonable. Wei Wanshan took out a dime, and the vendor smiled and said, "Ouch! The silver you hold is a bit too big. Do you have any loose change? How about letting you choose something else?"
The little girl Wu Ruoyan turned her head and saw a tall and handsome young man buying oil-paper umbrellas for her sister and brother. When she looked at the man's appearance again, she was instantly frozen. This man was handsome and had a sense of fortitude. It was obvious that he had served in the army!
Considering what her mother said at home, that she was going to arrange a marriage for her with the second young master of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, could it be him?
Shen Ruyi saw the little girl looking at her, and she smiled: "Where have I seen this little girl before?"
Wu Ruoyan smiled shyly: "You are the young county lady, right? I saw you at the palace banquet before!"
Shen Ruyi smiled: "Oh, so you must be the daughter of the Wu family. You look so beautiful today. I didn't recognize you!"
Wu Ruoyan was praised by the beautiful young county lady, and she instantly felt embarrassed. She said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, young county lady. I am Wu Ruoyan from the Wu family, Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Personnel. The umbrella you chose is really beautiful. My light pink one can't even compare to yours!"
Shen Ruyi smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. If Miss Wu likes it, I will give it to you!"
Wu Ruoyan blushed and said, "No need, I should let you go, little county lady. It's just that you may not like my umbrella!"
Shen Ruyi happily chatted with the little girl for a few words, and suddenly saw her second brother holding a fan, so she said: "Second brother, buy a fan! This fan is suitable for you!"
There is an ink-and-wash landscape painting on the fan. As soon as you open it, you will see the dark blue bookish air, which looks particularly elegant!
Wei Wanshan turned the fan over and looked at it carefully, with appreciation in his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at his sister: "Ruyi, if you like the fan that your second brother is holding, then buy it!"
The vendor said happily, "Oh! That's great! You are taking care of my business. I am very rich today!"
Little Wei Wanqian wrinkled his nose and said unhappily, "Humph! My elder sister bought an umbrella, my second brother bought a fan, but I didn't buy anything. I'm not happy!"
The two little girls and Wei Wanshan all laughed. Wei Wanshan coaxed his little brother: "Then Wanqian, choose whatever you want. I'll buy it for you!"
The little guy looked at them and saw a straw hat that caught his eye. Shen Ruyi smiled and picked up a bigger one: "Then buy this straw hat for Wanqian. Wanqian always gets tanned when he goes out to play in the spring. With this straw hat to block the sun, he won't get tanned!"
Wei Wanqian took the beautiful straw hat with a sky-blue scholar's ribbon tied on it. He looked quite elegant. The little guy couldn't help laughing. He looked like his father, but his glowing white skin made him particularly lovable!
Wei Wanshan saw that his little brother was happy. He didn't need to give him a change for his dime. The vendor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Wu Ruoyan stole a glance at Wei Wanshan and was really satisfied...
Shen Ruyi was born with the ability to read people's expressions. She smiled and said, "Miss Wu, let's go shopping together. Let my second brother take my younger brother with us, and we can go shopping together!"
Wu Ruoyan was flattered and said, "Thank you, little county lady, for inviting me. I will respectfully obey your order!"
The two little girls were walking in front, talking and laughing, while Wei Wanshan was walking behind holding his younger brother's hand. The little guy wanted to buy some food and some toys at the next moment. The two brothers were having a great time!
Soon they arrived at a teahouse not far from the City God Temple. In front of the teahouse was a large circle with several rows of large wooden racks. There were cloth strips with riddles and word puzzles written on them, hanging in strings, thousands of them, in all kinds of colors!
Many young men and women were there picking up cloth strips, then paying money and redeeming their prizes. It was said that today's prizes were generous, so there were quite a few people here!
Shen Ruyi looked back at her second and third brothers, smiled and pointed at the circle: "Let's go! Second brother, you pay me, let's go in there and guess some riddles to win some prizes!"
Wei Wanshan looked at his sister lovingly, and his brother jumped up high: "Okay, okay! Wanqian likes this game the most..."
Wei Wanshan took his brother and followed the two girls into the room. They were all looking at the riddles written on the strips of cloth. There were all kinds of riddles!
When Shen Ruyi saw these riddles, she instantly felt that the prizes here were too easy to get, right?
Shen Ruyi quickly took down more than ten or twenty pieces of cloth, which stunned Wu Ruoyan. She looked for a long time and only saw two pieces of cloth that could answer the riddle and held them in her hands. She turned around and saw the young county lady taking more than twenty pieces of cloth and walking forward, looking like she was walking on flat ground!
Wei Wanshan paid several dozen coins for Shen Ruyi's strips of cloth, and Shen Ruyi took his brother to the place to redeem the prize.
She wrote down the answers to all the riddles on the slips, and the old man at the prize redemption office was dumbfounded.
But I wasn't surprised to hear that it was the young county lady Shen Ruyi. This young county lady was famous in the capital for her intelligence and wit!
Shen Ruyi took her brother to look at the prize redemption rules, and was delighted when she saw that if she collected 19 strips, she could choose a golden apple!
The golden apple is not big, but it is as big as a pigeon egg. Such a big golden apple is really tempting!
If I exchange this for a golden apple, it would be suitable for my younger brother, but what should I do with myself?
Without saying a word, Shen Ruyi turned around and took her brother to the riddle strips to pick up some, and exchanged them for four golden apples!
The old merchant was completely dumbfounded. Little county lady, are you here to cause trouble?
"Oh! My dear little princess, our family only bought six golden apples, and you took four. Please be merciful and leave two for me!
If it weren't for those two golden apples, no one would come to play this afternoon!"
Shen Ruyi also understood that these merchants relied on this to make money. Everyone was guessing the answers to riddles here, and young men and women were buying things here. Moreover, the riddle slips had to be purchased with money. Although each slip only cost a few cents, they could make a considerable income in just this afternoon!
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep a low profile and I won't tell anyone."
Shen Ruyi carried all the golden apples with her. She planned to wear one for herself, give one to her younger brother Wanqian, and one each for her mother and her unborn brother!
Wei Wanshan and Wu Ruoyan, who were standing behind, were very happy to see that Shen Ruyi and her brother were very happy. Wu Ruoyan looked up at Wei Wanshan with affection.
"Second Master Wei, I'm Wu Ruoyan, and I'm glad to meet you. This is the scented purse I bought just now, I'll give it to you!"
Wei Wanshan hesitated for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes of the little girl, and somehow took the purse. The little girl's face flushed immediately, and she lowered her head and said, "Second Master, my servant is here to look for me, I'm leaving first!
"Little county lady, I'm leaving first. The servants are here to look for me!"
Shen Ruyi happily held her younger brother Wanqian's hand and waved goodbye. Shen Ruyi saw that the little girl was blushing and talking to her second brother. It seemed that she had taken a fancy to her second brother!
