I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Li Renyi was astonished to find a woman with celestial beauty standing before him, her appearance resembling that of a fairy from his dreams. At that moment, his eyes revealed a look of reverence.

"What's next? Tell me already! What are you staring at?"

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, did the fox demon end up with the scholar?"

"Hey bro, that's really not fair of you. You only say half of what you mean, leaving me all curious!"

The prisoners squatting around him had just been listening to him tell a story about a fox spirit repaying a debt of gratitude. But when the story reached a crucial point, the man seemed to be bewitched by the fox spirit and remained silent for a long time.

This made the already bored prisoners even more itchy to get rid of their tempers.

Li Renyi was still not in the mood to continue telling the story. His eyes were fixed on the fairy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. He was thinking about how to get her to take him away.

Fang Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was also looking at the man.

The constable beside him urged him on.

"My lady, you should hurry up and choose a good man. Don't delay too long. Otherwise, if others find out that I secretly brought you to the prison to choose a man myself, they might say something against me."

He had chatted with the woman on his way here, assuring her that he could easily handle even if she chose a burly, strong prisoner as her husband.

But if that's the case, he still needs to find a way to cover it up.

If this person were to see him, he would surely be stripped of his rags. For fifty coins, it was really not worth it, but he was in dire straits and had no choice but to take the risk.

Fang Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and softly agreed. Without thinking, she pointed to the handsome, sunny-looking man.

"Just him!"

"Hey……"

The constable wanted to say, "Madam, why don't you consider the burly men around her anymore? Why choose that seemingly frail one?" But he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he originally thought that if this woman had chosen someone who was not a good match for her at the time, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to change the person's name.

At this moment, upon learning that he had been chosen, Li Renyi lowered his head and revealed a smug smile.

He was still wondering how to attract the fairy to choose him, but he never expected that the fairy would choose him.

As the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an's family, he naturally disliked the idea of ​​his family being sold off as a bargaining chip through a marriage alliance, so he fled the capital in a fit of anger and came here.

Who would have thought that he would be arrested by the authorities simply because he was single?

After completing the formalities, Fang Xiaoxiao left with the man who had been keeping his head down and remaining silent.

Throughout the journey, Li Renyi feigned fear and dared not look up at the person in front of him.

He wanted to speak, but then hesitated, fearing he might say the wrong thing and offend the fairy.

After leaving the yamen, Fang Xiaoxiao took a few steps and noticed that the person behind her kept his head down and remained silent. Could he be mute?

If that's the case, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?

I just spent a full five taels of silver, and I even gave the constable fifty coins as a bonus.

She stopped, turned around, and looked him up. He was as handsome as Pan An, but his age gave him a childlike appearance, so he must not be very old.

"Hey Li Renyi, are you mute?"

"!"

Li Renyi stopped in his tracks when asked the question, immediately shook his head, and said.

"No, no, I'm not mute! My wife, please don't despise me. I can do many things."

Ah!

Fang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Then tell me, what can you do? Let me make this clear first, I don't keep idle people in my household."

As she said this, she felt slightly displeased, after all, she had several idle people in her family who couldn't earn money and just lay around at home all day.

Li Renyi quickly revealed the identity he had previously fabricated.

"I am the son of a merchant. I followed my father in business in my early years and learned a little about the ways of business."

Doing business, that's a good option.

I'm in charge of Wenyue Pavilion, and I'm lacking a capable person like this.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the person in front of her again and said slowly.

"How should I trust you?"

Li Renyi smiled slightly upon hearing this. He had noticed something important while following his wife earlier: she was carrying a bamboo basket, but it was empty of any shopping items.

Logically speaking, how could an ordinary woman carry an empty bamboo basket and casually take out several taels of silver?

In addition, as the woman walked, there was a faint jingling sound of bottles and jars clinking around her. Combined with what he had heard people talking about in prison these past few days, he realized that a kind of medicine called pills was now being sold in the county town, supposedly for women and old men.

The woman usually carried a bamboo basket, but there was nothing in the basket that she had bought.

Combining this with the fact that the pills were packaged in medicine bottles, Li Renyi had a general idea in mind.

he smiled.

“My lady, I know you are a businesswoman, so you must need someone like me.”

"!"

Fang Xiaoxiao looked surprised; she hadn't told him anything.

Li Renyi continued.

"So you really are in the pill business!"

Before he could even reply, he voiced his guess, adding his personal talent as a bonus.

This stunned Fang Xiaoxiao, who looked at the other party with the expression of a little fangirl.

"Then, can you help me earn more money?"

"It's a small matter, just making money. I'm not afraid to tell you, my wife, that I'm not interested in money. But if you like it, I will do my best to help you earn gold and silver."

Wow...so arrogant. I feel like I've heard that phrase somewhere before.

Fang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, then slapped her thigh, her excitement evident on her face, and made her way.

"Okay, let's do it this way! From now on, when we make money, we can live a life of luxury."

"..."

Li Renyi smiled slightly, as long as his wife was happy.

The two then got up again.

Fang Xiaoxiao planned to take the other person to buy a new set of clothes first.

Although it will cost money again, she now feels that this small amount of money is necessary.

What is this called? This is called investment.

From her conversation with Li Renyi, she learned that he was a rare sales genius.

At the age of ten, she was able to sell a wooden comb to a bald monk. Keep in mind that the monk had no hair. She was able to sell it, and she sold a comb that cost less than two coins to him for twenty coins. For this ability alone, she had to admire him.

Fang Xiaoxiao was very happy, finally she had found a husband who wasn't just sitting around doing nothing.

As for the rest of the family, let them do as they please!

As the sun gradually sets, the long street is bathed in a red glow, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Li Renyi looked at the pedestrians around him; all he saw was money.

With my silver tongue, I'm sure I can get the money out of everyone's pockets.

Fang Xiaoxiao walked ahead, her small steps appearing very cheerful and light.

She led Li Renyi to a shop that sells ready-made clothes.

In ancient times, very few families could afford to buy ready-made clothing.

After all, a piece of cloth can buy new clothes for everyone in the family.

A single garment would cost the price of a bolt of cloth, which was unaffordable for ordinary families and could only be afforded by wealthy young men.

However, Fang Xiaoxiao wasn't worried. The finished clothes would only cost about five taels of silver, which she could still invest in.

Besides, clothes make the man, and a good appearance is essential for sales.
