It is said that the eldest daughter of the Yan family in the south of the Yangtze River is as beautiful as a flower, as gentle as water, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Li country.
I heard that the owner of Congyue Villa near Fengcheng, Yi Yijin, was extremely ugly, had a bad temper, and had a huge fortune. He was the richest man in the world.
The matchmaker of the Yi family came to propose marriage, but Master Yan was about to refuse when the maid Yan Piannu came running out of breath and said that her young lady had accepted the marriage. Master Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he put on a smile and agreed to the marriage.
Afterwards, the door of Qingjing Pavilion was kicked open, and an angry Mr. Yan walked in and looked at Yan Xianxian, who was eating grapes leisurely and said: "Look at the good things you have done, you have the nerve to say that you are proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting. Do you know how to write the four characters of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Yan Xianxi threw up a grape and opened her mouth to catch it, then pointed to the stone bench beside her. Mr. Yan sat down with a cold snort and said with a bitter face: "Daughter! My father's life is miserable! The business is getting worse and worse. My precious daughter will be living on the street as a beggar. My father is useless!"
Yan Xianlong glanced sideways at her old man and said, "Young cat is pretending to be merciful. I'm really worried about me living on the street. You wouldn't want to harm me just now. Do you know how much money I spent to spread my good reputation to the world? Since you are my father, I will give you a discount. You only need to compensate me fifteen taels of silver. Of course, my pretty travel expenses have to be calculated separately."
The maid in a pink skirt on the side smiled and said: "Master, you are not my father, so I won't give you a discount. Two taels of silver, thank you for your patronage." When Master Yan heard this, he fainted.
Motto: It's great to have money
