Chapter 110 Getting to Know the Magistrate's Family's Gold

“Going to the county town? Then I want to go too! I can act as your bodyguard!” When Liu Ziyun heard Ruan Mumu say that she was going to the county town, he quickly expressed his desire to go with her.

However, at that moment, Qiao Tinghao straightened his face and replied seriously, "No, you absolutely cannot go. You have training to do tomorrow."

Qiao Tinghao's firm opposition to Liu Ziyun's trip was not without reason.

In fact, he had always harbored resentment towards Liu Ziyun, especially when he saw Liu Ziyun always circling around Ruan Mumu, which made him even more jealous.

After all, he had so many things to do and hardly had time to spend with Ruan Mumu. He was worried that Ruan Mumu would develop feelings for Liu Ziyun.

In Qiao Tinghao's eyes, Liu Ziyun was practically perfect—born into royalty, handsome and dashing, and what was even more infuriating was that Liu Ziyun's voice was far more pleasant than his own.

Which woman wouldn't fall for such a man?

Faced with such an almost impeccable competitor, Qiao Tinghao increasingly realized that his own conditions were really not advantageous, and he couldn't help but feel secretly worried.

"Young Master Liu, why don't you stay in the village and help my third brother train the guard team?" Ruan Mumu stopped Liu Ziyun from following Qiao Tinghao just as he was about to lose control of his raging anger.

Liu Ziyun was initially unwilling to stay, but he reluctantly agreed when Ruan Mumu offered to give him a large bag of snacks in exchange.

Ruan Mumu found it funny to think that someone this old could be satisfied with just a bag of snacks.

Master Wuwei had already taken the phone, so even if he didn't want to go train the guards, he couldn't back out now and could only stay in the village to help out, feeling rather unhappy.

After making all the preparations, Ruan Mumu led Chen Donghua and the others to the county town. This time, Xiaochun was also with them, and she drove the carriage.

Because they set off quite late, it was almost dinnertime when they arrived in the county town.

However, even though there was still half an hour before the store closed, people were still flocking to the Qingyaxuan Daily Necessities Store.

"Mumu, how come your shop is doing so well?" Jin Hua was so surprised by the scene that her jaw almost dropped.

Ruan Mumu chuckled: "There are many wealthy families in the county town. Although our products are a little pricey, most well-off families can afford them."

Moreover, our products are good, and everyone has a tendency to compare themselves to others—if you can afford it, then I can afford it too—so everyone is rushing to buy it.”

“It’s really good. Rich people aren’t stupid. These things are indeed useful. My parents are reluctant to use the ones you gave us, and I’m reluctant to use them every day either. It’s mainly because it’s all money, and it hurts my heart to think about it,” Jin Hua said with a smile.

“These things are meant to be used, so don’t be stingy,” Ruan Mumu advised, then whispered in her ear, “Actually, the cost isn’t high, so feel free to use them.”

"Hehe, just thinking about how I can use the same things as those rich young ladies makes me so happy!" Jin Hua smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking quite beautiful.

When Ruan Mumu woke up the next day, it was already 9:30 in the morning.

The night before, she chatted with Jinhua until late at night. Before going to sleep, she specifically told Jinhua not to wake her up in the morning, as she wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally.

Jin Hua felt sorry for her, having to travel around all day at such a young age, and naturally couldn't bear to wake her up. So when Ruan Mumu woke up naturally, everyone had already eaten breakfast.

After Ruan Mumu had finished her leisurely breakfast, Xiao Chun drove the carriage carrying Ruan Mumu and her daughter, as well as Jin Hua and her daughter, towards the bustling Chang'an Avenue.

When the group stood in front of the "Linglongge" jewelry shop, Yang Fang and Jin Hua both tried their best to pull Ruan Mumu away. Jin Hua refused, saying, "Mumu, there's no need to buy jewelry. It's not worth the money."

Even if they don't buy jewelry, the jewelry from "Linglongge" jewelry shop is famous in their county. Famous jewelry certainly won't be cheap.

They didn't want Ruan Mumu to spend that money.

However, Ruan Mumu still held onto Jin Hua and said, "Sister Jin Hua, you've married into our Ruan family, so we can't let you suffer."

If you were still with your grandma and the others, I definitely wouldn't buy it for you, because even if I did, you wouldn't wear it.

But things are different now. You can think of those new brides, you can dress up beautifully.

"Mumu, you really don't need to buy it. This stuff can't be eaten as a meal..." Jin Hua was about to refuse again when Ruan Mumu dragged her into the shop. Chen Donghua also pulled Yang Fang in with her.

"What kind of jewelry would you two ladies like to buy?" The shop assistant greeted them warmly as they entered the store.

Although their clothes were a bit shabby, the shopkeeper had emphasized to the waiters before they started working that one should not judge a book by its cover and that they should not underestimate those who were not well-dressed. As long as they could afford to buy something, they were all their VIP customers.

"Brother, is your better jewelry on the second floor?" Ruan Mumu had noticed as soon as she entered that the people coming down from the second floor were all dressed quite well, so she guessed that the better items should be on the second floor.

"Yes, young lady, if you're interested, you can go upstairs and take a look; perhaps you'll find a style you like there." The waiter finished speaking and walked ahead, leading them to the second floor.

Just as they reached the entrance to the second-floor lobby, a young woman hurriedly prepared to leave and bumped into Ruan Mumu's shoulder, causing her some pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to, so..." The girl's face flushed slightly as she kept apologizing.

Ruan Mumu waved her hand and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, he was about to pull Jinhua into the hall when he suddenly turned around and saw a small red stain on the back of the girl's skirt.

Because she was wearing a rather plain white outfit, Ruan Mumu noticed her at a glance.

"Miss, wait a moment." Ruan Mumu called out to the girl who was about to leave, then pointed to the red figure behind her. "Does the young lady need any help?"

The maidservant beside the girl asked cautiously, "Could this young lady please help our young lady?"

Ruan Mumu gestured to Jin Hua, Jin's mother, and her own mother to help the girl hold her off for a while, while she went to ask the waiter if she could borrow a room for a short time.

Ruan Mumu returned quickly and led the girl and the maid to a reception room next door.

"Miss, please have your maid stand guard outside the door. I'll take you in to handle this." Ruan Mumu opened the door and let the girl in.

"Xiao Lian, you stay outside and keep watch. I'll go in and take care of this." The girl said, then turned and closed the door.

Ruan Mumu was carrying a bundle containing a horse-face skirt, two pairs of underwear, and a pack of sanitary napkins.

She took out underwear and sanitary napkins and handed them to the girl. "Miss, this is called underwear, also known as underpants, and this is called sanitary napkin, which is similar to the menstrual belt you usually use."

You usually wash and reuse your menstrual pads after use, but this toilet pad can't be reused; you have to throw it away after use.

Now I'll teach you how to use sanitary napkins. This underwear, remember this side is in front, then like this...like this..."

After teaching the girl step by step, Ruan Mumu left the room and told the girl to change her soiled underwear, put on the underwear Ruan Mumu had given her, and then put the horse-face skirt over her soiled skirt.

After the girl had tidied herself up, all her previous discomfort had completely disappeared.

"Hey, girl, where can I buy those underpants—oh, no, I mean underwear—and those sanitary napkins you just gave me?" the girl whispered to Ruan Mumu.

When Ruan Mumu heard the girl asking about this, she knew what the girl meant.

Hey, she hadn't thought about going into the business of these women's products before, but now that the girl asked her, she had a new idea.

She wanted to clean out a storage room at the back of the shop and turn it into a dedicated space for selling women's products.

In this dynasty, people were quite careful about protecting their privacy, so she did not intend to sell them publicly.

"From tomorrow onwards, you can go to Qingyaxuan Daily Necessities Store on Changhua Street and find Aunt Li. You can buy it there." Ruan Mumu thought that she would arrange this matter with Aunt Li when she got back today, and have Aunt Li and her daughter take charge of this part together.

"Huh? Is it that shop that sells shampoo, soap and stuff that's really popular?"

"Okay, okay, may I ask your surname, young lady?" "My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Wanfeng. My father is the magistrate of Xiyang County," the young woman introduced herself happily.

When Ruan Mumu heard that the girl was actually the county magistrate's daughter, she was overjoyed. If she could get this girl's help to promote her products, she wouldn't have to worry about finding a market for her women's products!

She quickly replied with a smile, "My surname is Ruan, and my name is Ruan Mumu. If Miss Lin doesn't mind, you can just call me Mumu."

Upon hearing Ruan Mumu's words, Lin Wanfeng smiled and called out, "Mumu."

Lin Wanfeng has a round face that looks like it has been sculpted from jade, making her look charming and lovely.

Especially when she smiles, a shallow dimple appears at the corner of her mouth, like a twinkling star in the night sky, dazzling and adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her whole being.

This charming smile seems to possess a magical power, capable of instantly dispelling the gloom in people's hearts and making them feel happy.

Ruan Mumu couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister, you're so beautiful!"

Hearing Ruan Mumu's praise, Lin Wanfeng blushed slightly and said, "Thank you! I'm fifteen this year, so I should be a little older than you. You can just call me Sister Feng from now on!"

Ruan Mumu thought of the modern-day Sister Feng, then looked at the pretty young lady in front of her, and decided to just forget about it! The modern-day Sister Feng is none of our business.

The pretty young woman in front of me can't be called Sister Feng. Calling her Sister Feng immediately brings to mind the image of the modern-day Sister Feng, so let's use a different name.

Ruan Mumu smiled and said to Lin Wanfeng, "I'll just call you 'Sister Wan'! It sounds nicer that way, and more importantly, I think you're so beautiful, calling you 'Sister Wan' sounds more intimate."

Lin Wanfeng felt a sweet warmth in her heart when she heard Ruan Mumu praise her beauty, and quickly replied, "You have such a sweet tongue."

"Sister Wan is already very beautiful, I'm just stating the facts," Ruan Mumu praised sincerely.

"Mumu, are you from Qingyaxuan? If I want to buy something, can I just come to you?" Lin Wanfeng asked tentatively.

When Ruan Mumu heard Lin Wanfeng say she wanted to buy things from Qingyaxuan, she quickly said, "Sister Wan, what do you like to use? I'll have someone send it to you. Why are you talking about buying it?"

In modern times, people try every means to send gifts to the leaders' homes. Now that the county magistrate's daughter wants something, this is the most sincere time to send it.

In this society where power reigns supreme, Ruan Mumu was fortunate enough to meet the daughter of the most powerful magistrate in Xiyang County, so naturally she wanted to find a way to win her over.

"Mumu, that won't do. My father said we can't just take things from ordinary people," Lin Wanfeng declined.

Ruan Mumu thought to herself, "Surely a county magistrate who can say such things and so strictly discipline his children should be considered a good official."

Although Ruan Mumu wanted to win over the powerful and influential people here, she couldn't force them to break the law, could she?

So he stopped insisting on giving away any gifts.

"Sister Wan, since you've said so, I won't insist anymore."

Although Qingyaxuan now offers limited quantities daily, since Sister Wan is willing to acknowledge me as her younger sister, I can be considered family.

"We're family, so we shouldn't be bound by those rules!" Ruan Mumu said affectionately, linking arms with Lin Wanfeng.

She was hoping to have someone powerful protecting her while she was doing business in the county town!

This is when the opportunity comes.

As long as you maintain a good relationship with Lin Wanfeng, at least the magistrate won't show favoritism if other powerful people cause trouble.

Seeing that Lin Wanfeng was not in a hurry to leave, Ruan Mumu decided to further solidify their relationship to prevent it from becoming superficial at a crucial moment.

"Sister Wan, you're so beautiful, and your skin is so good, it's really enviable." Ruan Mumu pulled Lin Wanfeng to sit down.

"Is your mouth always this sweet?" Lin Wanfeng originally wanted to leave, but because she was feeling a little uncomfortable due to her period, she sat down to rest for a while.

"I'm telling the truth, your skin is so delicate it's almost translucent. Look at my skin, compared to yours, it's still a little bit lacking." After saying that, Ruan Mumu grabbed Lin Wanfeng's hand and touched her face.

Lin Wanfeng didn't hesitate and actually pinched Ruan Mumu's face with her hand.

The moment she touched it, she felt that Ruan Mumu's face was not only smooth, but also clean and refreshing. When she touched her own face, she felt that there was something oily on it.

"Mumu, your face looks so clean. Do you use that soap to wash your face?" Lin Wanfeng asked curiously.

Ruan Mumu smiled mysteriously: "Sister, do you want to know?"

Lin Wanfeng nodded in response, "Mhm."

"Remember to come find me at Qingyaxuan, I'll tell you then, hehe..." Ruan Mumu smiled mischievously.
