Chapter 473: 473 Falling flowers in disarray
Su Qingyue wasn’t influenced at all. She didn’t know Brother Chen well, and even if he didn’t marry her, he could marry someone else. She didn’t care too much about all this. She thought that even though she looked so ugly, she still had some charm with her peach blossom luck.
“Beautiful girl, beautiful girl!” Another male voice called out.
She looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young man selling miscellaneous items at a roadside stall.
Qingyue saw a plain-looking woman walking by and thought the young man wasn’t calling for her, so she didn’t stop.
“Beautiful girl in a pale yellow dress, beautiful girl!” The young man called again, waving his hand.
Su Qingyue pointed at herself with her index finger. Because the plain-looking woman next to her was wearing green clothes.
He nodded, “Yes, you.”
“What’s the matter?” She wondered if it was another marriage proposal. Today, her peach blossom luck really was pouring in!
“Come over, and we’ll talk in detail.” The miscellaneous goods peddler winked at her.
Oh! Su Qingyue felt electrified all over her body. It seemed that he had taken a fancy to her too.
People were admiring her; she couldn’t just simply ignore them. She needed to make it clear that she already had a husband, so they wouldn’t waste their precious youth pining for her.
So she walked over, “Then let’s talk in detail, what’s your idea, young man?” Being constantly confessed to, she didn’t intentionally want to seduce people.
As the saying goes, you don’t have to love others, but others have to love you.
People with too much charm, can’t help it.
“I think the girl has a graceful figure, beautiful as a flower, and elegant. Her skin is as delicate as snowflakes…” He praised her vigorously, “Just think, someone as wonderful as you…”
She was very receptive, “Keep going, keep going.”
“Your skin, it can be even more delicate.” He picked up a box of rouge from his stall, “See this? This is rouge imported from the Western regions. It’s really good. When you put it on your face…”
Wow! After listening for so long, it turned out he was just a salesperson. She had seen his intentions early on, but just now, there was another vendor confessing his love for her. Now another one came along, and she thought her radiant charm had bewitched another person, “Promoting such high-end goods, do I look like someone with money?”
“Uh…” He looked at her clothes and saw the purple embroidery on them, with her air of class, she looked rich. But upon closer inspection, her clothes were made of the cheapest coarse cloth, that meant she was poor.
He had gone through so much trouble; he couldn’t go away without selling something. He quickly switched to a box of the worst quality rouge, “This box of rouge is cheap and practical, suitable for you.”
“You, you, do I look old?”
“You look very young.” He laughed hard, “Beautiful girl, with your ‘outstanding’ appearance, a touch of rouge would hide your flaws… no, enhance your beauty, enhance, enhance definitely.”
“So you think I can’t go out without makeup.” She suddenly understood, “No wonder you stopped me. To be able to call me beautiful, you can be considered a talent.”
“Not at all, not at all.” He shyly smiled, “Will the girl buy it?”
“How much for a box?”
“One tael of silver.” He looked at her, so ugly that even if he went against his conscience and called her beautiful, it wouldn’t change the fact that she looked frightening, “Since you’re so ‘beautiful’, I’ll give it to you for six hundred cents.”
“Wow, you just discounted it by two hundred cents,” She opened the rouge box, “I don’t even want this kind of poor-quality stuff if you give it to me for free.”
