C9 Fifth Lady

Just like that, Zhu Rong was forced out of the stall to sell pig heads.

However, Zhu Rong was not able to stay idle. After killing the pigs at home, he met Huahua, Xiaoyu, and the others on the street. Huahua and the others received a few dozen taels of silver from Chu Linlang and decided to work together. Zhu Rong paid a large sum of money and the children came to help.

After sorting out this matter, Chu Linlang took a deep breath and said, "Ah, this is great!"

Huahua and the other children were helping out here. Although the money they earned was not enough, they had a certain amount of protection and no longer had to wander around begging!

"I'll help you too!" The business in the shop was not bad. Zhu Rong's bean curd was melting in their mouths as soon as it entered their mouths. In less than a month's time, it had won the favor of many people.

More and more customers came to eat bean curd here.

Chu Linlang rolled up her sleeves and welcomed the customers. "Aiyo, sit inside! What do you want to eat?"

Zhu Rong's second brother looked at Chu Linlang's expensive clothes and was willing to help here. He thought to himself, "Big brother, is your luck with women coming?"

Zhu Rong carried a bowl of bean curd and placed it in front of the customer. He gently placed the bean curd on the table and wiped the table with a coarse cloth. He saw Chu Linlang staring at him.

Zhu Rong lowered his head and smiled. "Ah. But, miss, after not seeing you for a month, you have indeed become much more voluptuous!" Zhu Rong looked up and down and praised.

Chu Linlang lowered her head to look at her own chest. Hmm, not bad! It was much more plump than a month ago!

Zhu Rong, you can't look at me so brazenly, can you?

Men were indeed men. They were all lustful!

Chu Linglang shouted at Zhu Rong, "What are you looking at?" She rolled her eyes.

Zhu Rong scratched his head and smiled.

Zhu Rong's second brother was anxious when he saw his big brother's silly look. He was too obedient to a girl. How could he chase after a girl like this? He still had to help him.

"Big brother, I'll go out for a while. I'll be back soon." As he spoke, he ran out.

When he arrived at the downtown area, he thought that this girl liked jewelry, rouge, and cosmetics, but his money was limited and he couldn't buy any jewelry. So he chose a piece of rouge.

The top-quality rouge, the princess's rouge, and the young master looked at this rouge! A girl was selling it.

"How much are you selling this rouge?"

"Young master, 30 wen per box, 50 wen per box."

Zhu Rong thought, Damn it, how expensive. This girl really knew how to make money.

Seeing Zhu Rong's hesitation, the girl selling the rouge said, "This rouge is the best rouge in the entire city. The princess and the noble ladies in the city all come here to buy the rouge. Once you put on her rouge, you will know what a real lotus flower looks like."

"Look at you, is there such a magical thing?"

"Young master, you don't know women. Fifth sister is back. Let's give this young master a try."

After saying that, a young girl around the age of fourteen or fifteen walked over, "Sister Three, help me!"

Zhu Rong stared straight at the girl called Fifth Sister and said, "Young Miss Fifth, you are too polite."

"Who is Fifth Sister? I am Jin Yanhong. Your young master is really rude. First, he stared straight at me, and then he randomly called out my name."

Zhu Rong quickly said, "So it's Miss Yanhong. Don't blame me if you don't know. I am not familiar with you, right? Look at how angry she is. Didn't this girl just say that your rouge was the real thing? Who would have thought that she would be so pretty even without makeup? Wouldn't she be the prettiest girl in this street?"

Jin Yanhong was amused by him.

"Sister Three, let's start!" The girl selling thought to herself that Fifth Sister was so pretty that her family's rouge business was doing exceptionally well. In this year, there were already countless men who had been charmed by her.

After Jin Yanhong finished her makeup, Zhu Rong exclaimed, "Amazing. I want this rouge that you painted for me to get a new one. Is twenty-five coins good enough?"

The girl selling said, "Young Master will sell it to you today. I see that you want it so much. The main reason is that you made Fifth Sister laugh. This Fifth Sister of mine is rare."

"If Zhu Rong takes the rouge, then I will come again tomorrow. No, I will come every day. Miss Yanhong, you can smile every day." After saying that, she jumped and left.

Jin Yanhong looked at her third sister and said, "Where did this madman come from?" The third sister shrugged.

Zhu Rong was ecstatic. He was so happy to be able to see such a beautiful lady. This way, I can… Hehehehe, he began to fantasize.

"I'm back."

Zhu Rong hid the rouge in his clothes and waved at Zhu Rong, hinting for him to come over. Zhu Rong put down the work in his hands and walked over.

At this moment, Chu Linglang rolled her eyes at her second brother. She thought to herself, 'He's so busy. It's fine if he doesn't help, but he even called Zhu Rong away. What a weirdo.' Fortunately, Zhu Rong was not like him. He laughed after thinking about it. She was the weirdo, and the two of them were called Zhu Rong.

"What happened, second brother?"

"Big brother, you will give this to that girl later. I see that he has a different look in his eyes when he looks at big brother. As a man, we should take the initiative."

Zhu Rong scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Then thank you, second brother. How much is it? I'll give it to you."

"It hurts our relationship to raise money. That thirty wen, the boss wants forty wen. I used up all my strength to get it."

"Mother said that second brother is smarter than me. Big brother, thank you. I'll buy it for you at night. I'll go to work first."

"Okay, okay. Sigh, big brother, don't go yet. If the girl leaves later, you can give her a gift and find an excuse to buy something to make her wait for you. This way, you can give her. Do you understand?"

"Alright, don't worry. Tonight, we brothers will drink."

"Alright! Big Brother, go and do your work! I'll go back first."

With that, the two Zhu Rong walked in the opposite direction.

"That, you're back? Why didn't your brother come to help?"

"Oh, usually, we have clear division of labor. After he buys the pork, he will go home to help his mother."

"Is that so? Hurry up and go. That table is already being pushed."

Zhu Rong smiled and said, "Alright."

"Thank you for troubling me today."

Chu Linglang stretched her back and said, "Don't worry, I'm very happy." She looked at Zhu Rong sincerely.

Zhu Rong was embarrassed by her gaze and said awkwardly, "Do you want to have a bowl of bean curd and try my cooking?"

"No, I already ate it just now. It's getting late, I should go home."

"Then, then I'll send you off."

Chu Linglang nodded and silently agreed.

"Children, I'm leaving!"

The children came over one after another, "Sister, I can't bear to part with you." The little girl hugged Chu Linglang and said.

"Sister also can't bear to part with you." Chu Linglang patted the little girl's head, "The next time I come, I'll bring you guys delicious snacks."

"Yay!" When the children heard that the next time, they clapped their hands happily and said, "Does that mean that sister will come and see us again?"

"That's right! You guys are so obedient, how could I not come and see you guys!" Chu Linglang smiled gently.

"Then, we'll make a promise! Sister can't lie to children!"

"I will, I will."

"You must take good care of your sister." Chu Linglang said to the boy.

Chu Linglang left, and Zhu Rong followed her for two blocks.

"How long do you want to stay? Can't you come to my side? Can I eat you?"

Zhu Rong quickly caught up to Chu Linglang.

"Are you afraid of me?" Chu Linglang asked playfully.

Zhu Rong shook his head blankly.

"Then why don't you dare to come to my side?"

"That, that, this is for you." Zhu Rong hurriedly stuffed the rouge into Chu Linglang's hands.

Chu Linglang opened it and looked at the rouge. She asked in surprise, "When did you buy it?"

Zhu Rong went back honestly, "My second brother bought it just now."

"He bought it? He wants to give it to me?"

"No, no, it's not like that. He bought it for me."

"He bought it for you? You want to give me the rouge?"

Zhu Rong shook his head.

"Then what do you want to do? He bought it for you, not for you to give me the rouge?"

"Aiya, that, my second brother felt that I was stupid and wouldn't give a woman a present, so he prepared a gift for me. When he sent it to you, he pretended to buy something and then gave it to you. But I didn't want to lie to you."

"Hmm, you are indeed stupid." Chu Linglang laughed.

Zhu Rong looked at her foolishly, "Is it me?"

"Hehehe, hmm, the color of this rouge is very beautiful. I like it very much. Your second brother knows how to choose things very well. Thank you."

Zhu Rong scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Thank you for helping me in the shop today."

"Of course, of course. I'm almost home. Go back first! Otherwise, it won't be good for my family to see a man send me home."

"Okay, then, did you really mean the next time?"

"Of course, it's true. Why? Do you not want me to come?"

"I hope so, I hope so!" Zhu Rong muttered softly.

Chu Linglang happily jumped left and right on the street with the rouge in her hand. Suddenly, she wanted to go, ah! I forgot to change my clothes. She cursed in her heart. It was so difficult for me to go out of the palace. I was clearly above ten thousand people, but I still had to disguise myself. Damn it, when I was free one day, I would never return to that cage again. When I was free one day, I would never go back to that cage again.

Thinking about it, she went back to change her clothes and reluctantly went back to the palace.

"Who is it?" A tall and straight guard with an extraordinary appearance blocked Chu Linglang outside the palace.

Chu Linglang was about to scold who was blind, but when she raised her head to look, she thought to herself that the Great Imperial Palace was amazing. Even a guard was so handsome. She was so happy, so happy. She changed her tone and said, "Brother guard, I am the servant of Xiliang Empress Dowager. My name is Chunhe. I just happened to be back after my visit today."

"A maidservant has a visitation day? Cut the crap. Show me your token."

Chu Linglang pretended to be pitiful and said, "Xiliang Empress Dowager is considerate of her subordinates. Father sent a message to me, informing me, informing me." After saying that, she started to cry. "Informing my grandmother that she is in critical condition and won't live for many days. I am the granddaughter that Grandma loves the most. The Empress Dowager allowed me to go home to see Grandma one last time to fulfill Grandma's wish."
