In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 8 How do you know she is not the original owner?

"My foot injury has almost healed today. Can I go out for a walk?" Su Yueyao asked Yang Qian, who was very happy.

"I'll have the servants harness the carriage. After Yueyao finishes drinking the medicine, I'll go out with you."

"no problem."

Half an hour later, Su Yueyao, who was sitting in the carriage, was lifting the curtain and looking at the streets on both sides, thinking that the county town was quite prosperous.

Most of the people on the street were men, with very few women. The few women who did appear were surrounded by a group of men, and some even had bodyguards.

Thinking about how the original owner always brought four or five attendants with her every time she went out, doing all kinds of sneaky things, and sometimes even flirting with young men on the street, every time the original owner came out, the merchants in the county town wanted to close their doors when they saw her.

"Yueyao, I heard from my sister that there is a teahouse in the county town. The snacks are very good and there are storytellers. How about we go there?"

"Yes you can!"

Su Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Qianqian, do you have a handkerchief? I want to cover my face. I've been to the Heyi Teahouse you mentioned before, but I'm afraid the people there wouldn't let me in!"

What a sin the original owner committed! Such an elegant place, I heard it was the property of the county magistrate’s husband. Fortunately the original owner was a woman, not a woman! I’m afraid the grave is overgrown with grass!

"It's okay. Heyi Teahouse is the property of my aunt and master. They won't say anything. And I heard from my sister that my aunt and her family are going to give the teahouse to me as my dowry, and it will belong to Yueyao in the future." Yang Qianxun said with a smile.

"What? That teahouse will be yours in the future?" Su Yueyao asked in surprise.

The county magistrate's master is so generous! The county magistrate is so good to Yang Qianxun!

"It will be ours from now on."

"No need, you can take care of the dowry they prepared for you! I won't covet your dowry." Su Yueyao said.

When Yang Qianxun heard this, he looked directly at Su Yueyao. He was sure that this person was no longer the same Su Yueyao as before.

Su Yueyao was kicked out because she lost her family's shop in gambling. The Heyi Teahouse is not the largest in the county, but it is also a shop with good business.

There was only surprise in her eyes but not a trace of greed.

"I will find a way to get the betrothal gift later. And after we get married, I won't let you support me alone. I will find a way to make money." Su Yueyao said.

She really wouldn't put all the pressure on anyone, even though she felt Yang Qianxun was good to her.

This place is very friendly to women, but it is all based on giving birth to girls and children. She doesn't want to be a breeding machine. She is afraid that she will go crazy if she thinks about being trapped in the backyard for her whole life and giving birth to children all the time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Yueyao asked Yang Qian who was staring at her.

"If you are not Su Yueyao, who are you?" Yang Qianxun asked, looking into Su Yueyao's eyes.

Su Yueyao was startled, her eyes a little flustered. Did this guy find out? No, he had never been with Su Yueyao, how did he know that she was not the original owner?

"What does Qianqian mean? Who else could I be if not Su Yueyao?" Su Yueyao said immediately calmly.

Yang Qianxun looked at the person in front of him who just showed a hint of panic, and he also felt suspicious but did not say anything else.

"Yueyao is so different from the person in the rumors. I was wrong at the moment. Yueyao, don't be angry." Yang Qianxun apologized with a smile.

"I was indeed very bad in the past, but I will be better in the future. Can you put aside the rumors?"

"Okay! It's true that I haven't seen the Yueyao from the past. I shouldn't be affected by the rumors. It's my fault. I won't do this again in the future." Yang Qianxun said in a low voice.

"It's okay. Everyone is curious. I'm not angry." Su Yueyao said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I finally passed this level.

The influence of the original owner! In this county, it might not be possible to change people's views in a short time, and she couldn't stand out too much, otherwise people would be suspicious. I think people here are also very afraid of demons and ghosts resurrecting from corpses.

If she was burned to death, wouldn't she be even more wronged?

"Sir, we're here at the teahouse." said the coachman outside.

"Yueyao, let's go down!" Yang Qianxun said.

"I really don't need to cover my face?" Su Yueyao was a little hesitant at this moment. Yang Qianxun's question just now made her feel a sense of crisis. She was afraid that other people would also notice that she had changed too much.

"What are you afraid of, Yueyao? Even if the people here don't like you, the court's laws are there! They will be punished for attacking a woman, so they don't dare to do that."

"Oh, that's right! I was wrong. Let's go downstairs!" Su Yueyao realized then. There were so few women here, what was she afraid of? Otherwise, when the original owner came to make trouble, the shopkeeper and his servants here did not dare to do anything.

Yang Qianxun got off the carriage first and waited at the door for Su Yueyao to come down with his hand out.

Su Yueyao took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, put her hand into Yang Qianxun's hand, and got out of the carriage step by step.

The people outside watched as a luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of Heyi Teahouse, and saw a stunning man getting out with his hand outstretched. They were all curious about what kind of woman was in the carriage.

When Su Yueyao's full face was revealed, everyone who recognized her gasped. Some even felt it was bad luck and turned away.

When the waiter at Heyi Teahouse saw Su Yueyao, his face suddenly turned pale.

Yang Qianxun didn't care about the waiter's expression but directly took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the waiter.

When the waiter saw the jade pendant, he immediately bowed to Yang Qianxun and Su Yueyao and said tremblingly, "I didn't know you were coming. I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come over."

"Yueyao, let's go in!" Yang Qianxun said to Su Yueyao with a smile.

"Okay!"

"I am the owner of Renyi Teahouse, greeting the young master, Miss Su." A middle-aged man appeared at the door and saluted politely.

"Please, boss, prepare a private room for me and Miss Su."

"Okay, please follow me."

Yang Qianxun and Su Yueyao entered the Heyi Teahouse.

The people watching the excitement outside whispered, "Who is that young master? Has Su Yueyao found a backer?"

"Isn't that young master from Yi County? He is so handsome, how come he falls in love with Su Yueyao?"

"I don't know what means Su Yueyao used. I'm afraid this young master will not have a good ending after being deceived."

"It seems that the new family is related to the county magistrate. They live in the house at the entrance of the third alley."

"Were they the ones who saved Su Yueyao two days ago?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion outside, and rumors were spreading all over the place in an instant.

At this moment, Su Yueyao and Yang Qianxun were already sitting in the outer room of the private room on the third floor of the teahouse.

"Sir, the master has already told us that from now on you and Miss Su will be the owners of this teahouse. Our indentures will also be transferred to your hands. Do you have any instructions today?" The shopkeeper said respectfully.

Su Yueyao said nothing on the surface, but she was shocked in her heart. Did Yang Qian come to their house so quickly? Didn't he say he was going to prepare a dowry?

Is there any other county magistrate who can do things so quickly? He gave me a teahouse just like that? He even got the indenture done?

It would be great if this efficiency was used in modern times, so that people wouldn’t have to run back and forth just for one thing.

It seems that the county magistrate likes Yang Qianxun very much! He is such a powerful backer!

"I understand. Today I am just accompanying Miss Su for a stroll. Just serve some refreshments as usual."

"Good son."

"What is Yueyao thinking about?" After the shopkeeper left, Yang Qianxun saw Su Yueyao in deep thought and asked.

She seems to like to meditate very much!

"I didn't think much of it. I just felt that the county magistrate was really good to you. He gave you such a big teahouse just like that."

"My aunt's mother's family is a well-known wealthy family in Yangfu City. After marrying my aunt, she received a generous dowry. She had shops all over Yangcheng Prefecture. It was no problem for her to have more than a dozen shops in the county. When my father was still alive, my aunt would send us gifts every year, and we would visit her every year."

"No wonder, it's great to have an elder who loves you." Su Yueyao said with some envy.

In her impression, the county magistrate has always been very majestic, but she didn't expect that she would love the younger generation so much.

I heard that the county magistrate was also a remarkable woman. She was recommended by her family, appreciated by the empress, and was specially approved to be the county magistrate.

Although women can become officials, it is still more difficult for them than for other men.

Fengluan Kingdom does not have an imperial examination system, but a hereditary recommendation system. People with knowledge and learning are very popular here, especially the great scholars.

"We will live in Yi County in the future, and my aunt will be considered your elder." Yang Qianxun said to Su Yueyao who was a little envious.

"I'd better give up! The county magistrate punished me with a few strokes of the stick last time! I'm afraid my legs will go weak when I see her." Su Yueyao said helplessly.

Last time, the original owner molested a young man in the street and accidentally injured a woman. When the case went to court, the original owner's mother had already paid compensation, but the county magistrate fined Su Yueyao five strokes of the cane to teach her a lesson.

"Were you okay at that time? Does it still hurt?" Yang Qianxun asked immediately after hearing this.

"It happened at the beginning of this year! I was beaten with five boards and it was fine after a few days of rest. I was really a bad boy at that time and I deserved the beating." Su Yueyao sighed and said helplessly.

"Sir, the tea is ready." When Yang Qianxun was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Afterwards, the waiter of the teahouse lowered his head and served some snacks one by one.

There is a special waiter outside to make tea.

"There is a storyteller today. Yueyao and we would like to have some snacks and we can listen to him later." Yang Qianxun said after signaling the waiter to leave.

"Okay!"

Haruhi went into the inner room, opened the window, and placed the snacks near the window.

Su Yueyao walked to the window and found that she could see the desk in the middle. She had just gone up the stairs and didn't notice that there was a round stage in the hall.

Not long after, a man in a green robe sat down at the desk and began to talk about the benevolent rule of the current empress.

Su Yueyao herself didn't know much about this place, but she listened with great interest and was able to learn more about this era.
