Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields
Chapter 905: splashing waterLi Haitang smiled sarcastically, knowing that Zhang Ruyue was incompetent, thinking that she could avoid anything by pretending to be dizzy, and in the final analysis, at the critical moment, she gave up.
She didn't bother to say too much, so she asked the female clerk to go to the shop and brought out a basin of cold water.
The female buddy didn't know why, so she did as she was told.
"Splash it on her face." Li Haitang ordered in a cold voice, pointing at Zhang Ruyue, who was pretending to be dizzy, and said to the wives and ladies who were watching, "Miss Zhang Ruyue insisted that it was the rouge powder from my Yaohuazhai shop that caused the damage. She ruined her appearance, out of morality, Yao Huazhai compensated 30,000 taels of silver
. "
Thirty thousand taels is also a huge sum of money in Kyoto. The dowry of a high-ranking lady has 18,000 taels in the bottom of the box, which is already very long.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone knew that Zhang Ruyue was framed by Yaohuazhai, but they didn't know that Yaohuazhai actually compensated so much money.
The people present were not stupid, some things were actually not clear, Yao Huazhai's move meant to calm things down, but Zhang Ruyue seemed dissatisfied and didn't want to let go.
At this moment, the way everyone looked at Zhang Ruyue changed.
Just now everyone thought that Yaohuazhai said he would lose money, but the money hadn't reached Zhang Ruyue yet.
Zhang Ruyue was lying on the ground, almost sitting up, but she didn't get up now, nor did she continue to pretend to be dizzy.
In a hurry, the eyeballs under the eyelids rolled, Zhang Ruyue's mind was running fast, thinking hard, trying to resolve the countermeasures.
The hatred in her heart, the usually clever servant girl, if she doesn't say a word now, who will help her block it?
Zhang Ruyue is confident in her skills. On the day she retired, she let the dandy see her face at close range, and the other party immediately ran away in fright. Her disguise can withstand scrutiny, but it may not be able to. Withstood the test of a basin of cold water.
"There is so much peach gum stuck to her face to disguise her pustules, Miss Zhang is really desperate."
Li Haitang directly pointed out that the pus on Zhang Ruyue's face was peach gum.
At this moment, the onlookers screamed even more, especially Mrs. Zhen. After realizing it, she was immediately angry. Was she deceived by the white lotus-like Miss Zhang?
"You bitch, tell me, what's going on?"
Miss Zhen didn't look at Zhang Ruyue, and turned on Zhang Ruyue's maid.
A basin of water was poured down, and the truth came to light. The servant girl was trembling, her face was livid, and she murmured, "Slave... Slave doesn't know!"
In a word, it is tantamount to exposing one's hole cards, and the onlookers are all human beings, what else do you not understand?
Next, before Zhang Ruyue could react, a basin of water was poured down, and the sticky things on Zhang Ruyue's face were washed off one after another, revealing a fair cheek.
The top is smooth as before, how can there be any signs of redness, swelling and pus?
Someone let out an exclamation, and then, more and more ladies and ladies expressed their anger at being tricked.
Zhang Ruyue, Miss Gaomen of Jingdu really lost face, Pengci, this is Pengci!
"Yaohuazhai's new owner, we misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
Upon seeing this, Zhen was the first to apologize to Li Haitang, while the rest of the people around couldn't help but twitched their mouths reluctantly.
"Oh, I can't imagine that Zhang's family is so poor. They have lost their reputation for touching porcelain!"
"You don't know yet, do you? Zhang Ruyue's father is a bastard, or a bad gambler!"
The dandies whistled and spoke humiliating words, making Zhang Ruyue who was lying flat on the ground feel humiliated for the first time, at this moment, she really wanted to hang herself at the gate of Yaohuazhai.
"Miss Zhang's family is only doing it for money, but Yaohuazhai has gone from crowded to empty in a short period of time. The loss cannot be made up for."
Li Haitang talked about the current situation of the shop, and decided to close it for a few days. Whether Yaohua Zhai will change her business in the future, she has other plans.
The main reason is that there is no capable shopkeeper, no one to rely on, and she can't keep an eye on her all the time.
Zhang Ruyue's disturbance just exposed the shortcomings of the shop, which made Li Haitang start to pay more attention to it.
"Is Yaohuazhai closed?"
Facts have proved that the pustules on Zhang Ruyue's face were caused by herself. The ladies and wives, none of them asked for a refund. Instead, they felt extremely ashamed for being led by the nose.
"Let's go in and buy Yaohuazhai's gouache, in case later..."
When Mrs. Zhen proposed, everyone looked at each other and rushed into the shop to buy. The female clerk who was originally staying was busy walking around.
Li Haitang and Fang Shaoyao both went in to help and stood at the counter to collect the money. Yaohuazhai's stock was sold out.
Outside the door, Zhang Ruyue said bitterly, this time, she lost all face, she had to continue thinking about her way out.
It's a pity that before she could think about it, the officials of Jingzhaoyi's Yamen had already come to arrest her, and she and the maid were brought into the Yamen.
Li Haitang was firm. She didn't care how Zhang Zheng resolved the case. Anyway, what happened today will spread throughout the streets and alleys in a short time.
The only requirement is that if you take away her thirty thousand taels of silver, you must spit it out for her!
As for the loss of the shop, she can look at the friendship with the Zhang family, and don't care about it. After all, her identity is not disclosed, and she doesn't want to provoke too many people, so she treats it as a reward for Zhang Zheng's help all the time.
Before Zhen's departure, she took Li Haitang's hand and said seriously, "I never thought that a young lady from a high school in the capital would do something worse than a street rogue. This time, I am narrow-minded."
In order to express her apology, Mrs. Zhen planned to invite Li Haitang to her house as a guest, preparing an apology table and expressing her sincerity.
"You are being polite, in fact, this is also human nature."
In Li Haitang's eyes, Mrs. Zhen was an upright person, so she nodded friendly to her.
"Haitang, you can go. You must know that the cook in her family's house is famous. If you don't want to eat the noodles, don't waste the opportunity. I will go for you!"
Fang Shaoyao blinked and joked to ease the atmosphere.
If you want to gain a foothold in the capital, you must establish your own social circle. The Zhen family is loyal, and if you can get to know each other through this opportunity, the road ahead is bound to be smoother.
Seeing what Fang Shaoyao said, Li Haitang had no choice but to agree, otherwise, if he sincerely admitted his mistake, she would not give face, and would appear to be a small-hearted person instead.
After everyone leaves. A few guys who were still persistent cleaned Yaohua Zhai, even a chair had to be wiped down many times.
This is the place where everyone has worked for a long time, and they are reluctant to leave.
"Don't be downcast, just let you rest for a few days, and you will come back later."
The few people left, whether out of feelings for the shop or other things, at least have a sense of responsibility. It is not easy to invite such guys.
For a while, Li Haitang couldn't find anyone with good character, so he might as well just use these people.
"Are you coming back again?" The eyes of the female guy who went out first brightened, they still have such a chance?
