Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 371 Wu Haoran’s True Identity

Just as the two little ones were dreaming of a bright future.

The scholar who had just stepped into Changchunzhai came out with a look of disgust on his face, cursing, "I thought there would be something good in a shop next to Jingguzhai, it's just a show!"

After the scholar finished cursing, he turned around and walked into Jingguzhai.

Xiao Yining: ...

Liu Zhenying: …

Guest-1

Disillusionment

The two kids looked at each other and hurried into Changchunzhai together.

In order to save face, Liu Zhenying pulled the shopkeeper aside and secretly asked about the situation.

Little Yining looked at the interior. She had to admit that Liu Zhenying had put a lot of effort into it. The layout was similar to the Wangyue Study she had been to. However, the books here were very serious, and there were no miscellaneous notes that she liked. For this reason, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this moment, Liu Zhenying's voice almost broke from behind, "What are you talking about? I haven't made any money in these days. No one buys things in my shop?"

The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face and quickly explained, "My dear aunt, this Jingguzhai is right next to us, and the things here are better than ours, so naturally those scholars won't come in here."

Liu Zhenying continued to ask, "But, but this is a bargain for me!"

The shopkeeper replied without hiding anything: "This kind of cheap stuff, poor students go to Jingguzhai to copy books, and they will be given to them there, there is no need to buy it, eh..."

Then, he advised: "Boss, you should change your business. I think the teahouse here is very good."

"But..." Liu Zhenying's eyes turned red, she really couldn't stand such a blow.

Xiao Yining walked up to her and comforted her, "It's okay, Sister Liu. We are just not well-known. In a few days, maybe many people will come to buy."

"Sister Yining is right. How could I not make money?" Liu Zhenying said again with full enthusiasm.

Only the old shopkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, then returned to his post and continued to read some books to kill time.

After visiting the first floor, Xiao Yining asked Liu Zhenying to take her upstairs.

The second floor was much narrower than the first floor. Liu Zhenying turned half of it into a warehouse and the other half into a tea room.

She also introduced, "This is what my father said. If there are a few friends who want to read books, rest, and appreciate calligraphy and paintings here, there will be a place for them to do so."

"But Sister Liu, I didn't see any calligraphy or paintings!" Little Yining swept the bare wall.

After saying this, Liu Zhenying smiled mysteriously and whispered her plan in the little kid's ear, "My father has an authentic painting by a master of the previous dynasty, and two rare copies. I plan to ask him to bring it to me and keep it for a few days. Then someone will definitely come to buy it."

The little boy also hurriedly said, "Sister Liu, when my father and uncle come back, I will ask them to draw a few pictures and write a few words to decorate this teahouse more elegantly, so that those literati will want to come again."

"Good sister."

"Good sister."

The two little ones looked at each other, with a determined light flashing in their eyes. They knew they would definitely make this money.

Perhaps the two people's firm belief touched the heavens, for before they had finished speaking, a man's voice was heard downstairs.

The two little ones' eyes suddenly lit up.

Downstairs, Wu Haoran covered his throbbing right eyelid, hurriedly walked to the shopkeeper, threw down a small piece of silver, and said anxiously: "Quickly bring me a piece of paper, I need to put on my eyelid!"

After saying that, he carefully looked out the door and saw a carriage with the word "Pei" on it parked opposite Jingguzhai. Then, the curtain was gently lifted, revealing an extremely familiar face.

Wu Haoran hurriedly picked up the fan to cover his face, muttering, "No wonder my eyelids were twitching when I went out. I actually ran into Junior Brother Pei. Junior Brother Lin's daughter is probably here too."

As he said this, he took a few steps back to avoid being discovered.

Let me make it clear that he was not afraid of these two people, he just felt that it would be bad if he met them both at the same time.

Pei Yi glanced at Changchunzhai in confusion. He saw clearly the look on Wu Haoran's face just now, as if he was a guilty thief.

"Young Master, are you going to come down?" Ah Da had opened an oil-paper umbrella to shield him from the scorching sun.

Pei Yi nodded and said, "I'll go to Jingguzhai first to see why my cousin said that Qingjie won't be able to do this for long."

Wan Niang had already followed Madam Liu to take a close look at the shop that the two children were tinkering with, and the two of them came to the same conclusion and shook their heads helplessly.

Therefore, she did not come with him today, but went to Guoan Temple with Mrs. Liu to pray for her family, so that her daughter would not ask her and she would not be able to control her mouth and undermine her daughter's confidence.

At this time, Wu Haoran, who was hiding from Pei Yi, had officially met the child he least wanted to see.

Xiao Yining looked at the man downstairs with great surprise, but the man was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

"Sister Liu, my godfather is here." The little kid pulled the little girl next to him and said excitedly.

The familiar red color on Wu Haoran's face appeared, and he thought to himself that something was wrong, so he wanted to turn around and run away.

Just then, the old shopkeeper blocked his way with the cut paper and said, "Sir, look at the size of this paper. Is it suitable for eyelids?"

Wu Haoran: ..., I guess it won’t be useful.

The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from behind made him laugh dryly and turn around, "Miss Lin, why are you here? I saw Junior Brother Pei go to Jingguzhai just now."

"My cousin should just go there to take a look and come over soon."

"What? Uncle Pei doesn't come to my store to buy things either."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Liu Zhenying brushed past Wu Haoran like a gust of wind, ran to the door and took a look. She shed two tears as if she had been abandoned, and said in disbelief, "Sister Yining, Uncle Pei really went in..."

Xiao Yining: "..., shall I go call my uncle over?"

"It's okay. It's the same even if your godfather comes here to warm up the atmosphere." Liu Zhenying said dejectedly.

Lin Yining’s “godfather”——Wu Haoran: ???, I was just passing by.

Wu Haoran stayed reluctantly because of the word "godfather". God knows how much he regretted going out without checking the almanac.

He stuck the note on his right eyelid which was still twitching violently, in an attempt to ease the symptom. He glanced at the two children whose faces were full of expectation, and his face became even redder than before.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, cupped his hands and bowed to Liu Zhenying, "Are you the daughter of Censor Liu Yang? I am honored to meet you."

"You know me?" Liu Zhenying asked in surprise, and then looked at little Yining, "Sister Yining, have you told your godfather about me?"

"I'm not familiar with my godfather. We've only met twice." Xiao Yining answered truthfully. She also looked at the man curiously.

Come to think of it, her father had never mentioned this man in front of her, but she only knew his name and that he was a local rich man.

Wu Haoran explained, "We've only met once. I'm Wu Haoran, the third son of Marquis Wu'an. Last year, you came to my house as a guest and were frightened by my eldest brother. You mistakenly entered my courtyard and cried for a long time."

After hearing this, Liu Zhenying immediately recalled the dark history that she could not bear to look back on, and greeted him stiffly, "It turns out to be you, Mr. Wu San."

Then, she lowered her eyes to look at little Yining and continued to explain to her, "Sister Yining, at that time, Prince Wu chased me all the way like a madman. It was only because the Third Master Wu closed the gate that I was able to escape."

Xiao Yining looked back and forth between the two of them with a puzzled look. Although she really wanted to know what Liu Zhenying had done to be pursued, she was tactful enough not to mention this dark history. She changed the subject and asked, "Sister Liu, why is Prince Wu so crazy?"

"Hey, don't you know? After the marriage ceremony between Wu'an Marquis' son and Princess Anping, he inexplicably fell into the lake and became stupid after being rescued."

Xiao Yining: ...How could she possibly know this old news?

But the little kid's focus was somewhere else.

Wu Haoran is the third son of Marquis Wu'an and he is so rich, so wouldn't Marquis Wu'an be even richer?
