Chapter 437 - 157: Incident_3
Yueyao placed the book on her lap, smiling as she nodded and said, "Ah, I never knew those flowers and herbs could actually be used in medicine. Only after reading these books did I realize, and I couldn’t help wanting to know more. Understanding more always has its benefits."
Bai Yi glanced at Yueyao and laughed, "Miss Lian’s interests really are broad." Apart from practicing martial arts, Yueyao spent all her time on painting and calligraphy, and she read during her spare moments. Her diligence was so remarkable that it impressed Bai Yi. However, the only thing that puzzled Bai Yi was the variety of books Yueyao read; she had them of every kind.
Yueyao chuckled lightly, "The master said I have superficial knowledge, little experience, and limited insights. I cannot go out, so I can only learn about the outside world through books to broaden my perspective," she really wished she could go out and explore!
Bai Yi laughed softly. This young lady actually thought about learning from Mr. Yu Shan. Mr. Yu Shan was someone who often went out to wander and frequently gathered friends for dinners. Her goals were indeed unique. A thought crossed Bai Yi’s mind—Yueyao’s current martial arts training might be preparation for that day. Bai Yi felt he was overthinking and shook his head on his own.
After her nap, Yueyao went to the main house.
Ruo Lan noticed Yueyao’s complexion had darkened; Yueyao’s daily practice under the Apricot Tree, constantly exposed to the sun, had definitely made her tan.
Ruo Lan said, "Yueyao, someone is willing to take over your shop on East Street. As for me, I plan to open another fabric shop. I think the location of your shop is just right for selling fabrics, what do you think?" The location for the second shop wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was surrounded by rouge and jewelry shops, typically women’s goods, making it an ideal spot for a fabric shop.
Yueyao laughed, "That would be fine."
Seeing that Yueyao did not even ask about the rent, Ruo Lan immediately shook her head and laughed, "You child, if you deal with outsiders like this without caring or asking, you wouldn’t even know if you were being cheated."
Yueyao chuckled lightly, "Cousin-in-law is hardly an outsider."
Zhuang Ruo Lan laughed and said, "The other party wants to rent it first for five years, paying the rent once a year, with an annual rent of three thousand six hundred taels. If you decide on it, I will reply to them. We might need to sign the contract soon."
