Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Surrounded by a group of people, Master Guan lowered his head shyly, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

Luo Yu helped Miss Qin dry her hair and face. Seeing that the Third Master Guan wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, Miss Qin grabbed his wrist with her backhand.

"Mr. Guan, are you planning to shirk your responsibility and just walk away? I just saved you. Even if you don't want to marry me, you should at least give me an explanation."

Luo Yu covered his mouth and laughed secretly, not forgetting to add fuel to the fire.

"Miss Qin, you've had physical contact with a man today. What are you going to do in the future? Master Guan is so shameless. If he doesn't marry you, how will you face the world and marry again in the future?"

Qin Bingrui silently held Luo Yu's hand, feeling aggrieved: "Sister Bai, you won't blame me for taking away your future husband, will you?"

"Miss Qin, although I am engaged to the Third Master Guan, he and you are more compatible. If he doesn't want to marry you, I will let the Fang family make the decision for you and will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

"That's good."

Qin Bingrui threatened Guan Sangongzi with a loving look: "Guan Sangongzi, I will go to Guan Mansion to look for you tomorrow. If you dare to refuse me, I will hang myself in front of your Guan Mansion."

The onlookers were talking about it.

"It's not logical for a woman to save a man, and there was already physical contact in the water. This has ruined a girl's reputation. How will she live her life from now on?"

"Yes, the Guan family is also a wealthy and powerful family. Logically, they would not do anything to break the engagement. I'm afraid Miss Qin will not be able to enter the Guan family."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the Bai family's eldest branch has established its own household, and the Bai family's eldest wife's family, the Fang family, has almost fallen on hard times. The Guan family might use this incident as an excuse to cancel the engagement. Perhaps, this Miss Qin was simply sent by the Guan family to put on a show."

Young Master Guan San couldn't bear to listen any longer and was dragged away by his gang of cronies.

Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui smiled at each other and walked towards the carriage with ease. Master Murong followed behind and shook his head. Although Miss Qin did not care about a woman's reputation, this was really unbelievable. How could it be something a woman would do?

After getting on the carriage, Master Murong offered to drive it.

There were ready-made clothes in the carriage, so Qin Bingrui took the opportunity to change into a set of clothes. While changing, he said to Luo Yu, "Sister, what do you think of my figure? My breasts are absolutely top-notch, completely different from your skinny figure."

Luo Yu glanced at her and said in a cold tone: "How do you know I'm shriveled when you haven't seen me? But can you not be so frivolous? Where are you grabbing your hands?"

"Can't I grab my own breasts?"

Murong Huaijin just wanted to cover his ears.

When Wu Xiucai left the city and arrived in town, his eyes widened when he heard about the free library.

"Miss Bai, did Mr. Wu hear correctly? You're running a library with free borrowing. Aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation and not return the books?"

This is exactly what Murong had thought. Although it is a good thing to have a free library, there is no guarantee that everyone is a gentleman.

Luo Yu smiled softly: "Of course a deposit is required, but since we are a poor family, we certainly don't have much money to spend, so we can use the house deeds, household registration or valuables as collateral. As long as you return the books within the specified time, we can take the collateral back. If you don't return the books, don't blame us for being rude.

Of course, there are time limits for borrowing books. The maximum period is 30 days, which is the minimum. You can borrow books for any length of time.

By the way, anyone using a property deed or household registration as collateral, and whose family is confirmed to be poor, will be free of charge. However, for those who can pay the deposit, or whose family is relatively well-off, we will charge one penny per book per day. If the deposit is not returned within the specified time, the corresponding deposit will be deducted."

"Miss Bai's method is very good. As long as poor children are willing to study, they basically don't have to spend a penny to buy books."

Wu Xiucai didn't want to associate with profit-driven businessmen, but when he heard that Miss Bai was indeed working for the interests of the people, he wanted to rush over overnight to do his part.

After hearing this, Master Murong thought this method was very good and not too harsh even for rich people.

What exactly is she trying to achieve by doing this?

When I returned to the Fang Mansion, I happened to meet Bai Lingyi and the two brothers of the Fang family.

Xiaoyi handed the draft to Luo Yu, who had been working on it for the past few days and the first chapter was almost finished.

Luo Yu flipped through the book and said with a smile: "In just two days, Xiaoyi's painting style has improved rapidly. Cousin Fang's painting skills have directly become a painting god."

The two people who said this had red faces and were secretly pleased with themselves.

Young Master Murong took the drawing he had never seen before, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

This, a carriage that doesn't need horses and can be driven on four wheels? And there's also a two-wheeled carriage that looks like a horse-drawn carriage? What kind of vehicle is this?

Seeing his surprised face, Bai Lingyi explained, "My sister said that this kind of car might appear in the future. It won't need horses or mules to pull it, it only needs some kind of petroleum fuel to run it."

Luo Yu gave a perfunctory smile: "It's just imagination anyway. The images in this story are meant to broaden people's horizons, allowing everyone to boldly imagine the time and space eight hundred years in the future."

Fortunately, she had not yet drawn all kinds of machine guns and cannons. Luo Yu wanted to take her time. She did not dare to draw such weapons casually. If the dictator noticed, she and Qin Bingrui would be in danger.

On the second day, Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu went to Prince Rui's Mansion with the draft drawings and the ten thousand whys that Qin Bingrui had been working on for the past few days.

"Sister, are you sure these 100,000 whys can convince Princess Rui?"

"I'm not sure. The storybook isn't finished yet. Besides, it would be so boring for the two of us to just sit around and wait for them to review a long story."

"Our chess and card room is mainly for profit, I believe the princess will be interested."

Inside Prince Rui’s Palace.

More than a dozen people, including retainers, were waiting for their arrival.

When King Rui saw Miss Qin, he was as enthusiastic as if he were his own daughter.

"Miss Qin, please tell us quickly what happened to Monkey King after he was trapped in the Five Finger Mountain?"

"This time, it will be five hundred years later."

There was nothing Luo Yu could do, as he did not want to interrupt King Rui's interest, so he had to let Qin Bingrui continue to tell everyone the rest of the story of the Journey to the West.

Luo Yu was bored, so he left the main hall and wandered around the huge Rui Wang Mansion.

The Prince Rui's Mansion is indeed the most luxurious mansion in Liangzhou City. The Fang family's house was originally big enough, but when Luo Yu walked into the Prince Rui's Mansion, he found that the Fang family's house was just a drop in the bucket.

When she has such a big mansion, she will definitely make it the most attractive tourist attraction, charging tickets only for rich people.

As he walked, Luo Yu found a large lady sighing in the yard, with two maids fanning her behind her.

"I, Bai Feng, have just met the princess."

"Oh, it's you."

"Why is the princess sighing?"

Although the Princess of Rui is plump, her facial features are delicate and her skin is fair and tender, making her look very kind.

According to folk rumors, the Prince of Rui has only one wife, the Princess, and no concubines. When the Princess first married the Prince of Rui, she wasn't overweight and was a rare beauty in the capital. Later, after giving birth to the young prince and the princess, she became incredibly overweight. Fortunately, the Prince of Rui didn't despise her. It seems a woman still has to have some skills.

In order to get in on the business with the princess, Luo E had to find out more about her life experience and gossip. From this, Luo E analyzed that there was nothing wrong with the princess of King Rui, and she had her own way of controlling her husband. This woman was smart and worth cooperating with.

"Miss Bai, please take a seat. Are you here to discuss cooperation with me?"

"That's right. I'm going to delay the princess for half a minute."

"That's what you say."
