I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 244: Foodie's Wish

When Qiaozhen was eight years old, her mother died of illness, and after that, Grandma Rong lived alone with her two granddaughters.

Now that Qiaozhen and Qiaoxiu have grown up, our family is living a better and better life.”

Granny Rong has poor eyesight and now only looks after the shops and stalls. The embroidery is done by the two sisters.

Su Zhen suddenly had an idea, "Ling'er, take me to stay at Granny Rong's house tomorrow."

"We have relatives and friends visiting recently, so it's not convenient to arrange for male guests to come over, but since you are a girl, you can stay at her house for the time being."

There are only women in the house, so Granny Rong is very wary of strangers, but if a neighbor leads them there, she will give them some face.

*

The next afternoon, Hua Ling'er took Su Zhen to Rong's house.

Granny Rong's small shop is not far from the painter. It only has one storefront. In addition to accepting embroidery products, it also helps make clothes and other items.

Hua Ling'er said, "Granny Rong, we have several relatives coming to our house, all of them are men. My mother asked Miss Guan to stay at your house for a while."

"A relative is coming? Okay, okay, it's okay, she can stay in my guest room."

Granny Rong agreed with a smile.

Su Zhen stayed at Rong's house that night.

There is only a shop in front of the Rong family's house and a very small courtyard in the back. There are only two main rooms, and the flower hall is divided into two parts. The front is the flower hall, and there is a small room in the back which is the inner room where Grandma Rong lives. The room at the east end is the small ancestral hall of the Rong family.

There is a kitchen in the east wing, which is half kitchen and half storage room.

The Rong sisters live in the embroidery room. The front part is the embroidery room and the back part is the bedroom.

The guest room is very small, with a partition in the middle, the bathroom at the back and the guest room at the front. There is a bed in the guest room and a desk by the window.

There is no door on the wall between the bathroom and the guest room. The small door of the bathroom is on the side. It is a doorway with a curtain hanging above it. People go to the toilet and take a bath there.

Fox Two and Fox Three stayed with the painter, and Su Zhen moved to another house. The reason was that at noon that day, three of the painter's relatives and friends came, all of them were male guests, and it was not appropriate for them to stay with the painter. Even Hua Ronger had to share a room with her sister-in-law.

One of them was Hua Dalang's uncle, and he lived in the same room with Hua Dalang. The room left by Su Zhen was occupied by two male guests.

Su Zhen entered the space to practice after nightfall. That night, his cultivation level advanced by one level, to the fourth level of Nascent Soul.

The next day, she went to the snack shop and bought some steamed buns, meat patties and porridge.

Granny Rong asked, "Miss Guan, why are you spending money so recklessly?"

"Before I came here, I vowed to eat at all the food shops and restaurants in Wumeng City. How could I eat at all of them if I didn't eat there three times a day?"

Your family doesn't care?

He also brought them some food.

Granny Rong and her grandchildren are reluctant to eat it.

Su Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Qiaozhen, can you help me embroider a screen? I saw a screen at my friend's house. The front of the screen is a picture of a beauty dressing up, and the back is a picture of a beauty dressing up. Isn't it amazing?"

Qiaozhen smiled a little nervously.

Qiao Xiu said, "Such a screen is not cheap."

"how much is it?"

Qiao Xiu said, "If it's a decorative screen, we won't accept it if it's less than five thousand taels of silver. If it's a partition screen, one like this would cost twelve thousand taels of silver."

Qiao Zhen wanted to stop it, saying the price was too high.

This is clearly a ten-fold increase. In the past, a decorative screen, even one with double-sided embroidery, would cost at most five hundred taels.

"I'm paying you now. How long will it take you sisters to finish the work together?"

"At the fastest, it will take half a month, at the slowest, it will take a month."

Su Zhen gave the banknotes readily.

"Ladies, I don't want pictures of beauties dressing themselves up, I want pictures of beauties reading books. Thank you for your help." After Su Zhen said this, he made an excuse to go and watch the competition at the martial arts conference.

Rong Qiaozhen called out, "Qiaoxiu, you really want such a high price."

"Sister, she is a rich person. These days, Sister Hua has been spreading the word that a rich girl has come to her family. She was generous and asked Uncle Hua to paint six folding screens for her. She paid 30,000 taels of silver. Listen to the price. It is really an outrageous price."

Three days is more than enough to paint a folding screen, no matter how good it is. The screens for the sisters cost five thousand taels, which was really cheap.

Su Zhen stood under the ring, watching the people on the stage fighting. Experts watched the details, while laymen watched the excitement. Swords against swords, knives against knives. She had seen all the swordsmen on the ring today, and they were together with the mighty and handsome young man.

Yes, this young man is very good-looking, but he has the same problem as Xia Yang. When he hears her reciting poems, he turns into an idiot with his eyes wide open.

Bah, what does she want to do to Xia Yang?

Now that Jiaxing is gone, he doesn’t know how he will be doing now.

Hu Erlang stood beside Su Zhen, "How is the Rong family doing?"

"It feels good to absorb the spiritual energy." Su Zhen replied.

Hu Erlang covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Second Uncle Hua and Hua Ling'er are in seclusion. They are in seclusion in the ancestral hall. Although they want to comprehend the painting, the other three screens you owe can only be painted for you after they come out of seclusion."

"I'm not in a hurry. There's still more than half a month left."

Just as Fox Sanlang was about to squeeze through, he met a mighty young man and couldn't push through. He pushed, but the other person was like an iron pillar, sticking to Su Zhen's side. He pushed again, but the mighty young man didn't move at all.

Fox Saburo exclaimed, "I didn't realize you're a great martial artist. Haha, are you going to challenge me to a duel?"

Su Zhen looked back. It was the man who would become stupid when he heard her reciting poems. She suddenly felt playful: "The road to the pavilion is lined with green willows and fragrant grass. It is easy for young people to leave. The dream on the top of the building is lingering in the five o'clock in the morning, and the flowers are under the love in the March rain. Being heartless is not as painful as being affectionate. One inch can be turned into thousands of strands. The ends of the earth have their limits, but the lovesickness has no end..."

Hu Sanlang was unable to push him away. Seeing that the man got hurt when he heard Su Zhen reciting a poem, he used his finger to hit him, and the mighty and handsome young man fell to the ground. Hu Sanlang laughed: "So weak, he fell down with just one hit?"

A young girl ran over, "Big Brother!"

The eldest senior brother is the most powerful disciple among all the disciples. He is half a step away from becoming a martial master. How can he be weak? He must have been caught off guard and that’s why he fell.

Su Zhen smiled and looked at the man who was helped up. "How interesting! I have only seen one idiot who becomes stupid when listening to people reciting poems. How come there is another one in this world?"

So that’s it!

What kind of weirdos are these.

Fox Sanlang followed and chanted: "Being heartless is not as painful as being affectionate, an inch is enough..."

boom--

A punch was thrown out, and Fox Saburo was hit in the left eye. Immediately, the entire left eye circle turned into a panda eye, and the whole person was knocked ten feet away.

The mighty young man shouted, "Shut up! Her poetry is poetic, but yours is simply unbearable to the ears."

He was strangely obsessed with that voice and couldn't help but get closer. He had been observing it for the past few days, but the rules of Wumeng City were very strict and no thieves were allowed to appear after entering the city.

He could only follow her secretly, inquire, and observe for a few days. He found that except for the different appearance, the woman's manners, words, actions, and every smile were quite similar to Princess Jiaxing.

Same voice, same mannerisms, different look.

Fox Sanlang felt a lot of pain, "You reckless man! If you dare to come to the ring, your Fox Grandpa will beat you up so hard that you will cry for your parents today."

There happened to be an empty spot on the square arena, and the two men jumped onto the arena one after the other.

Su Zhen asked, "Hu Erlang, can your third brother handle a beating? This guy is obviously a martial artist."

"It's time for the third brother to learn a lesson."

On the ring, Fox Saburo and an unknown man fought fiercely. Fox Saburo was dodging the whole time, which was not like his character.

Su Zhen was suspicious.

Fox Erlang said in a secret voice: "Third brother's spiritual power has been sealed."

"Martial Alliance City has existed for thousands of years. In this city, spiritual power and immortal arts are suppressed, especially in the arena."
