The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Chapter 9 Encountering a Scumbag While Out and About

The next morning, the servant brought several craftsmen to dismantle the original kitchen and renovate it. With many hands making light work, by lunchtime, when Lian'er returned with the food, everything was almost ready. The corresponding pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were also prepared, so they could cook dinner themselves.

"Miss, the meat I bought the day before yesterday, since we didn't have a pot, I salted it and hung it in the well. We can cook it tonight, and I'll stew it for you!" Lian'er said excitedly, her eyes shining.

"Okay!" Mo Liuyun replied casually. Today's lunch actually included a fish, a stew of bones and radish, and a stir-fried pickled vegetable dish that resembled winter melon. It was much better than the previous meals, and the steamed buns were warm too. But for Mo Liuyun, who loves rice, even the most delicious steamed buns were impossible to swallow! Sigh! Another day of craving white rice!

Thinking this to herself, she ate half a steamed bun and drank some soup before putting it down. She decided to eat it in her space later. The fish was a bit fishy, ​​which was completely unpalatable for a food blogger.

Lian'er was eating with relish when she saw Mo Liuyun put down her bowl and asked, "Miss, why are you not eating? Are you feeling unwell? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm just not very hungry and don't have much of an appetite. You eat more! I'm going for a walk in the yard."

"Oh!"

Mo Liuyun came out of the room. Everything outside was ready; the weeds in the yard had been cut, and the ground had been turned over. A servant came to report:

"Young Miss, your small kitchen has been renovated. What kind of flowers would you like to plant in this empty space in the yard? Would you like a gardener to come over?"

Mo Liuyun looked at the empty space and said, "Leave the tools. We don't need a gardener. You can leave once you're done. Don't let anyone come to my yard unless it's important. I like peace and quiet!"

Mo Liuyun didn't tell the servant what she planned to plant. The servant bowed and led the craftsmen away. Actually, she planned to plant some medicinal herbs and seasonings, such as chili peppers and ginger. She had asked Lian'er during the meal, but ginger and chili peppers didn't exist in this era; the basic cooking methods were steaming, boiling, stewing, and braising, with braising only involving salt and soybean paste. For a foodie, life without seasonings was unbearable! She had some in her spatial storage, but she couldn't openly use it! She needed to plant some to conceal it!

Thinking of this, I'll go take a look; otherwise, where will I get the seeds? At this moment, Lian'er finished her meal and was clearing away the dishes. Mo Liuyun said to Lian'er:

"Lian'er, I'm going out for a walk in a little while to buy some things. You stay here and watch the gate in the yard. If anyone comes, just tell them I just went to bed and that I've told them I don't want to see anyone!"

"But Miss, you're just starting to feel better. Are you alright all by yourself?" Lian'er asked worriedly.

"I'm fine now, I'll go change my clothes." Turning around, she went inside, found the men's clothing Lianji had bought, changed, and looked at her face in the bronze mirror. She thought she still needed to put on some makeup, otherwise, her true appearance would be exposed as soon as she went out! She took out her makeup bag, and after a short while, a scholar's face appeared in the mirror, with delicate features. Mo Liuyun looked at his face in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. This smile gave people the feeling of a friendly neighbor!

When Mo Liuyun came out, Lian'er was stunned. She couldn't believe it. The freckles on her young lady's face were gone, and she looked so beautiful!

"Miss, look at me carefully," Lian'er murmured.

Mo Liuyun held a folding fan and used it to lift Lian'er's chin, looking every bit like a rogue harassing an innocent young girl.

"No, it's young master!"

"Miss~" Lian'er stamped her foot, her face turning bright red. She looked embarrassed and annoyed after being teased.

"Take good care of the house. Young Master will bring you candied hawthorns when he comes back!"

As she walked towards the side gate, little did she know that the entire scene of Mo Liuyun emerging from the room and harassing Lian'er had been witnessed. From shock to embarrassment, the person who witnessed it was none other than Wushuang. At this moment, Wushuang simply couldn't equate the ugliest woman in Beili with this elegant young man. They were practically two different people! Besides knowing martial arts, he was also proficient in disguise! Wushuang watched Mo Liuyun walk away and could only follow at a distance. An Yi had told her not to get too close; Miss Mo was very vigilant.

Mo Liuyun walked through the waist-high thatch for about seven or eight minutes and saw a forest. Deep in the forest were high mountains, and at the foot of the mountains was a small path. At the end of the path, he could vaguely see a group of houses, which must be a street. After about half a cup of tea's time, he passed through the forest.

"Steamed buns and mantou, piping hot, freshly baked steamed buns and mantou."

"Fresh pork, slaughtered on the same day, 15 coins for fatty meat and 13 coins for lean meat."

"Candied hawthorn berries! Candied hawthorn berries! Five coins a skewer!"

Mo Liuyun stood in front of the old man selling candied hawthorns and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'll have two candied hawthorns."

The old man chuckled and said, "Alright, young master, would you like to eat it now or take it home?"

"Take one skewer back, and eat the other now," Mo Liuyun replied. The old man wrapped one skewer and handed the other to Mo Liuyun. Mo Liuyun took out a copper coin and gave it to the old man, thanked him, and then took a bite of the candied hawthorn skewer in his right hand. The crisp sugar coating the sour hawthorn was just like the song said, sweet with a hint of sourness! It tasted better than the modern ones, probably because it was naturally ripened. Not bad.

Seeing this, Wushuang, who was following behind, was once again stunned. Miss Mo was eating candied hawthorns while walking down the street. The manners and upbringing she had received from a young age were ingrained in her bones, and she had rarely seen anyone act so casually! Wushuang couldn't find the words to describe it; "casual" was the only word to describe it. And she was eating with a completely satisfied expression!

Mo Liuyun ate as she walked, casual yet not rude. Coupled with her delicate features, many young girls and women stole glances at her along the way. The bolder ones smiled at her. In her modern life, Mo Liuyun often encountered interns at the hospital who wanted to greet her but hesitated to approach. She would simply nod and smile. Noticing the stares, she grew accustomed to the polite smiles. But this smile didn't last long before she realized something was amiss. The women were blushing shyly, and the men were glaring at her, as if she owed them money! Only then did she realize she was dressed as a man!

Mo Liuyun's inner monologue was a classic Chinese idiom: "Holy crap!! A mistake! A mistake!"

She quickly stopped smiling, stopped eating, and walked towards the restaurant with her head held high and a serious expression. She planned to go to the restaurant to check things out. Right now, making money was her priority, and as a food blogger, her specialty was definitely food.

Wushuang, standing behind her, was utterly speechless: "I never expected you to be this kind of young lady, attracting attention from men and women alike! Is this Miss Mo even a fake?!"

Just as Mo Liuyun reached the street corner, a loud shout rang out: "You little bitch, stop right there!" A woman dressed as a peasant was running ahead, followed by a man and an elderly woman. The woman in front turned around and accidentally knocked the unsuspecting Mo Liuyun to the ground, falling down herself as well. As Mo Liuyun fell, she didn't forget to turn to her side, lying on her right, her left hand still holding the uneaten candied hawthorn!

This scene was truly astounding. The surroundings were quiet, and even the person chasing and cursing fell silent, all staring at the candied hawthorn she held high!

Mo Liuyun turned around and got up. Seeing that they were all staring at his candied hawthorn, he blurted out, "Do you really want to eat it?" "Tch!" A chorus of sighs rang out from all around.

"Oh, it's just a candied hawthorn."

"Yeah, they even held it up when it fell, like it was some kind of treasure!"

By then, the woman who had fallen was too late to get up. The old woman behind her caught up and slapped her across the face. "I told you to run! Why didn't you run?! You worthless woman who can't bear a son, you dare to talk back after I say a few words to you? I hit you a couple of times and you still run away?!" The man behind her meekly pulled at the old woman, "Mother, don't hit her! Don't hit her." The woman covered her face with her hands and sobbed. The man then said to the woman, "Just listen to what Mother is saying. She hasn't had it easy all these years!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Liuyun was furious! He patted the dust off his clothes with his right hand and asked the man, "May I ask, brother, you said your mother has had a hard time all these years, how exactly has she had a hard time?"

The man was taken aback, not expecting anyone to ask this, but still replied, "There are three siblings in my family. My father goes out to sell goods, and my mother takes care of us while doing laundry to supplement the family income. It's really hard for her!"

The onlookers nodded in agreement, expressing their admiration for the mother-in-law's hard work and the son's filial piety.

Mo Liuyun: "So?"

The man froze again: "What, so?"

Mo Liuyun pointed at the woman on the ground and said, "Was your mother's hardship caused by her?"

The man was taken aback, clearly not expecting Mo Liuyun to say such a thing, and was momentarily at a loss for words. The onlookers also seemed to be considering the same question, and for a time no one answered.

Mo Liuyun continued, "Your mother's hardships when she was young were caused by your father. He was incapable of raising three children, and his income couldn't cover his expenses, which led to your mother having to take care of you and work odd jobs to make ends meet. You should hold your father accountable. After you grew up, your mother's continued hardships were caused by you siblings. As children, you couldn't share the responsibility with your parents and earn money to support the family. Why are you blaming your wives?! And I'd like to ask if everyone in your family has something wrong with their eyes?"

The old woman and the man, enraged and embarrassed, shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Who's blind?!"

Mo Liuyun continued, "So you're saying your eyesight is good? Then why couldn't you see how hard your mother worked before your wife married into the family? Is your wife some kind of miracle doctor? The moment she married in, all your eyesight was cured, and you all suddenly saw how hard your mother worked?!"

The onlookers were amused by Mo Liuyun's words, and a burst of laughter filled the air!

The old woman put her hands on her hips and said, "What are you all laughing at?" Pointing at the woman on the ground, she continued, "Back in the day, there were plenty of girls who wanted to marry into our family. Which one of them wasn't prettier and from a better family than you?..."

Mo Liuyun: "Then why didn't it work out? Was it because they didn't like you, their mother-in-law?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"She married into our family and gave birth to two daughters, but she didn't even have a grandson?"

"How can you look down on yourself? You're a woman too! Why should women make things difficult for each other? I've studied medicine since I was young, and my teacher once told me that whether a child is a boy or a girl depends on the man, not the woman. Haven't you heard that? You reap what you sow. You've never heard of planting beans and expecting them to produce melons, only to find that the beans you planted didn't produce any. Don't blame the seeds; blame the soil for not being fertile!"

In the distance, with a thud, Wushuang fell from the tree. "Miss Mo, did you smear poison on your lips? It's more poisonous than arsenic!" Seeing no one around, Wushuang quickly scrambled to his feet, but dared not climb the tree again, afraid of falling again!

A burst of laughter erupted around them. The old woman pointed at Mo Liuyun: "You...you..."

Mo Liuyun pushed her hand away and said to the man:

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Your wife also grew up with the love of her parents. Before she married into the family, she didn't eat or drink anything from your family. After she married into the family, she took care of the housework, was filial to her parents, and bore children for you. She doesn't owe you anything. You also have sisters and daughters. If your daughters and sisters were treated like this by your husband's family, how would you feel?"

He then said to the old woman, “Auntie, human nature is inherently good. Think about how sad you must be to have your daughter treated like this. Why should your wife suffer the same pain you have endured?! Harmony in the family brings prosperity! Think about how you treat your wife now. When you get old, your son can’t always be by your side. Wouldn’t it be easy for him to abuse you then?! You reap what you sow! Isn’t that the truth?”

The man and the old woman exchanged a glance, then walked together toward the woman on the ground and reached out their hands to her. The woman fearfully moved behind Mo Liuyun. The man coughed awkwardly and said, "Yunniang, I was wrong. Let's live a good life together from now on. I will treat you well!" The woman looked at her mother-in-law, who also said, "Alright, just live a good life together from now on."

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears, turned around, and kowtowed to Mo Liuyun: "Yunniang thanks you for speaking up for me today, young master!!"

Mo Liuyun: "Get up quickly! Women must learn to be strong at all times. Self-reliance is the foundation!"

After the family of three left, the crowd gradually dispersed, and they were just about to continue walking forward.

"Congratulations, Master! Your Space Faith Value has increased by 150!"

As Mo Liuyun stood there in a daze, a familiar voice came from above:

"What you just said was quite interesting. Would you mind coming upstairs for a chat?"

Mo Liuyun looked up and saw two men standing by an open window on the second floor of a building along the street. One was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, and the other in a moon-white brocade robe; their attire clearly indicated wealth and nobility. Mo Liuyun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's really unfortunate for you two gentlemen. I had an appointment with some friends today, and I've already been up quite a bit of time. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll be impolite!" At the same time, he thought to himself: You scumbag, it's been a long time!

The man upstairs said again, "That's really unfortunate. May I ask your name, young man? Hope we can meet again another day!"

Mo Liuyun casually replied, "My surname is Li, and my given name is Dayan! I am a shameless and boastful person!" After he finished speaking, two "pfft" sounds came from upstairs, followed by coughing and intermittent laughter.

The man in the blue brocade robe said, "Brother Li, what a fine name! What a fine name! Haha... haha, he truly lives up to his name!"

"I think so too, farewell!" Mo Liuyun left quickly, not wanting to reveal her identity now.

Wushuang felt there was something strange about the name, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
