Ugly girl only wants to farm

She was already in a bad mood, so she took it all out on the maid. The other day, she took a fancy to a scholar and sent him a lot of things. Inadvertently, she stole an inkstone that her father treasured from the study and gave it to the scholar.

The scholar initially dismissed her advances, but as Qin Zhenzhen relentlessly pursued him, she showered him with various valuable gifts.

The scholar glanced at her a few more times. In order to please him, Qin Zhenzhen chose an inkstone that belonged to her father. This time, she had caused a mess that even her mother couldn't protect.

Qin Zhenzhen was not only fined a month's salary by the magistrate, but was also confined to the house for ten days to copy the "Instructions for Women". Because she was the late-life daughter of the elderly couple, and had two older brothers who were pampered by everyone, she developed a spoiled nature. In this county, apart from the magistrate's daughter, she was the most arrogant and domineering.

She had only been released from confinement for a few days when her mother demanded that she buy fresh fish and personally cook some fish soup for her father to appease him. She was woken up early in the morning by the maid, and she was already full of anger. The scholar was only outwardly proud.

After feigning rejection several times, he accepted the valuable gifts she sent. His so-called self-respect and backbone had long since vanished. Originally, she had only noticed that the scholar had some talent and was quite handsome, so she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

In just a few days, the scholar has been clamoring for ancient books, Huizhou ink, and the finest Xuan paper. Each time, his demands have become more and more outlandish. At first, Qin Zhenzhen fulfilled his every request, but gradually she lost patience. This kind of materialistic person is not as appealing as his previous integrity.

She had become very interested in Meng Jiuhe and Zhang Xuyang after bumping into Shen Siheng last time. She had asked that guy to introduce them, but Shen Siheng politely declined, and she still hadn't gotten over that.

Today, she happened to run into him again, and she couldn't contain her joy. After fixing her hair, she swayed her hips and walked over, revealing what she thought was a charming smile.

In fact, Qin Zhenzhen is not bad-looking, but she is more suited to a more elegant style. However, as the only daughter in her family, she likes unique items, such as gold, jade, and gold-inlaid jade gemstones, which she likes to wear in her hair. Wearing bright and colorful clothes makes her look unbearably tacky.

After hearing the woman's voice, Meng Jiuhe did not raise his head, but simply replied in a flat tone: "These sesame seed cakes come in both sesame and savory fillings. How many do you need? I'll wrap them up for you."

Qin Zhenzhen frowned as soon as she heard the word "sesame filling," as sesame filling was her least favorite food.

She smiled charmingly: "Young master, do you remember me? We met briefly a few days ago. Could you please tell me whether the sesame filling or the savory filling is better?"

Meng Jiuhe paused, his hand holding the bamboo tongs furrowing, his expression impatient and his tone becoming much more distant: "I don't know either, just try it yourself."

Qin Zhenzhen pinched the corner of her handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, looking disgusted by the unpleasant smell. She couldn't stand it anymore and, enduring the nausea, continued, "Young master, do you really not remember me?"

Xiaochun quickly handed over the sachet, and Qin Zhenzhen took a gentle sniff before feeling that the air around her nose was a little better.

Meng Jiuhe gently put down the bamboo tongs and glanced at the few people looking behind him. Qin Zhenzhen and her maid directly blocked the stall, and those people dared not speak out in anger.

Meng Jiuhe also lost patience and said in a cold voice: "If you're not going to buy, young lady, leave quickly. Don't block our business. There are other people queuing up behind you."

After Meng Jiuhe spoke up, the group nodded and whispered among themselves, "That's right, we wanted to buy a few more sesame cakes while they were still fresh. How could Miss Qin possibly be interested in such a vulgar thing? Let us buy a couple as soon as possible."

Qin Zhenzhen gave them a fierce look, and the group shrank back in fear, not daring to utter a sound.

Meng Jiuhe completely ignored her presence and asked the people behind her what flavor they wanted, then wrapped it up in oil paper.

Xiaochun looked at her young mistress with a nervous expression, barely daring to breathe, fearing she might lose her temper outside.

Qin Zhenzhen clenched her hands tightly together for a long time before letting go. She smiled and said in a deliberately cheerful voice, "Young master, can you wrap two for me? I'm treating everyone today, so I'll give each person two sesame cakes."

The people behind them, who had initially looked resentful, now all wore satisfied smiles and uttered flattering words.

"Miss Qin is truly kind-hearted. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also incredibly kind. Whoever marries you is truly blessed."

At this point, no one started arguing; they lined up in an orderly fashion to wait for their pancakes.

The aunt selling sesame cakes was all smiles. Xiaochun took out her purse and handed her a piece of silver. At Qin Zhenzhen's prompting, she spoke.

"Keep the change. Two sesame cakes for everyone, and an extra one for those with elderly, weak, or disabled family members."

The crowd started cheering and praising her, and Qin Zhenzhen was being praised to the skies, which satisfied her vanity.

Xu Chaoyan was busy serving food to several people when she saw Qin Zhenzhen talking to Meng Jiuhe around the stall. The aunt was practically swinging a rolling pin around.

Zhang Yueniang looked anxious and said, "Sister, why don't you go and take a look? That woman looks like she has ill intentions. Your husband is so handsome, could someone be eyeing him? I'll keep an eye on the pot for you, you go and take a look quickly."

Xu Chaoyan quickly scooped up a few pieces of crispy pork, added a spoonful of boiling soup, and finally sprinkled on some chopped green onions.

She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiling broadly. "Thank you for your kindness, elder sister, but I know what kind of person my husband is."

Zhang Yueniang kept her eyes glued to the other side, not daring to relax for a moment: "It's hard to say. Look at that girl, she's dressed quite well, so she must come from a wealthy family. We still need to be careful."

Upon seeing the scene before him, Meng Jiuhe clapped his hands and said gently, "Auntie, my wife is a bit overwhelmed. I'll go take a look."

His aunt looked at him with a guilty expression: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

"Wife, shall we set up our stall somewhere else? Didn't you say you wanted to go to the county school area? It's really windy here, let's find a sheltered spot."

Before Xu Chaoyan could speak, Zhang Yueniang quickly asked, "Who is that girl? What does she want with you?"

Meng Jiuhe didn't even look up and immediately started clearing the table: "I don't know them. They came here specifically to do good deeds. Let's quickly find another place to set up our stall. This place is full of vegetable vendors and the like, which is affecting their business."

Zhang Yueniang looked around, puzzled. "Isn't this place pretty good? There's a lot of foot traffic, and almost everyone passes through here. I think it's quite nice."

Meng Jiuhe continued pushing the cart forward without stopping, calling out to Xu Chaoyan, "Wife, let's go quickly."

The woman had a strong smell of rouge on her, which made him dizzy and nauseous. If he stayed any longer, he really wouldn't be able to stand it and would feel like vomiting.

Seeing the person leave, Qin Zhenzhen glared at Xiaochun angrily and pinched her again: "It's all your fault. Did you say something wrong and scare the person away?"

Xiaochun looked aggrieved and said, "Miss, this servant has no idea. Judging from the direction they went, they should be heading towards the county school. Why don't we go find the second young master and bring him some food?"
