Her voice was exceptionally beautiful, and her words made sense. A man said, “Indeed, an umbrella is useful in the rain and under the sun. I’ll buy one for my wife.”
“Don’t forget your old mother…”
“Right, I’ll buy two.”
“They’re very cheap, I’ll buy one too…”
There were several people who went over to pay and buy umbrellas.
A group of young girls and women were looking at the umbrella in Su Qingyue’s hand, “That umbrella she’s using seems very nice…”
“Indeed, I didn’t realize that walking with an umbrella could be so attractive. I’ll buy one too, the one she’s holding…”
“I want one too…”
Before long, it turned into a rush to buy umbrellas.
A carriage stopped on the street. Jin Xun, the owner of Drunken Immortal Pavilion who was in the carriage, was just passing by. Coincidentally, he saw Su Qingyue for the third time today and called for the driver to stop.
He knew she was the ugliest girl in town, but he found her umbrella selling pretty interesting.
Seeing the crowd rushing to buy umbrellas, he intuitively knew that the woman had some ulterior motives.
A while later, the crowd dispersed.
Jin Xun’s carriage was still standing on the side of the road. His follower asked, “Master, there’s no longer a spectacle to watch, can we leave now?”
“Wait a little longer.”
Su Qingyue rode a short distance in her carriage, asked Wang Crippled to wait for a moment, casually saying that she wanted to buy some things.
Wang Crippled obediently waited by the roadside.
Su Qingyue, holding her umbrella, returned to the umbrella-selling vendor. The umbrella seller had already prepared the copper coins to hand to her. She quickly took them, counted, and said, “One hundred cents, the count is wrong. Only forty-seven umbrellas were sold, it should be ninety-four cents. You’ve given me six cents too much.”
The umbrella vendor looked at her face. Although her face was covered in green medicated ointment, her eyes were extraordinarily bright and shiny, which made his heart flutter, and he stammered, “Don’t laugh at me… I… I haven’t sold a single umbrella for three days. You helped me sell forty-seven at once, giving me six extra cents is only right.”
“Alright then.” She took the money. Having earned one hundred cents, she felt a bit better.
Their conversation was quiet, and the crowd had dispersed. No one noticed the two’s actions. With Su Qingyue holding the umbrella facing the stall, passers-by only thought she was a customer buying an umbrella.
Su Qingyue left after counting the money. The vendor called from behind, “Su… Miss Su…”
She turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I… My name is Chen Er Shuan.”
“Oh.” Su Qingyue couldn’t understand why he was telling her his name. She looked back at him with a puzzled face, he gave a silly smile.
Qingyue was skeptical. Could this umbrella vendor, Brother Chen, have taken a liking to her?
She had initially wanted to tell him that she has a husband. But thinking about it, in case he wasn’t interested in her and she said such a thing, she would be embarrassed, so she shrugged and headed towards where the carriage was parked.
Chen Er Shuan watched her leave. The neighbouring shoe stall owner said enviously, “Er Shuan, you did great business today. Must have sold over 1 tael worth of goods. Even if you don’t do business for the next half month, it doesn’t matter.”
“Yes, all thanks to Miss Su.” Er Shuan nodded.
“I saw that woman named Su Qingyue. She speaks so well and seems very smart. But she’s really scary ugly, no one would dare to marry her no matter how smart she is…”
“Who said that?” Chen Ershuan retorted, “I dare to marry her.”
“Really?” The shoe stall owner took another look at him.
“Of course it’s true… But I fear she wouldn’t want to marry me…”
