Chapter 184 Who is It
Who would it be in the early morning?
They didn't know many people in Niutou town. Although Su Jiuyue was surprised, she still stood up and walked towards the door.
"I'm coming."
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a strange man standing outside the door. He was dressed as a Taoist and his hair was wrapped by a dark wooden hairpin.
He looked at Su Jiuyue so deeply that she felt seen through.
She was stunned for a moment, then calmed herself and asked, "who are you looking for?"
The Taoist stopped his gaze, handed over a water bag, and said very politely, "miss, I'm passing by here, and I want to find a nice person such as you to buy a pot of water to drink. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
Su Jiuyue saw that he was a passer-by, and she let her guard down a lot, so she took the kettle he handed over. "Please wait here for a moment, Taoist priest. It's not convenient for an unknown man to enter the home."
Liu Qing hurriedly replied, "it doesn't matter. It was really nice of you to just help me. I'll wait for you to come out at the door."
Su Jiuyue returned to the kitchen and filled the kettle with water she boiled before.
She opened the door again. The Taoist priest was still standing outside the door. She handed over the kettle.
Liu Qingshi hurriedly took some copper coins and handed them to her, "thank you very much, good lady."
Su Jiujiu didn't reach for it. "Taoist priest, you're too polite, but you don't have to pay for a pot of water."
Liu Qing looked at the money in his hand, thought about it, and nodded, "well. If so, let's just take it as a gesture of a kind relationship!"
Su Jiuyue nodded, and as she was about to close the door, Liu Qingshi stopped her.
He handed a peace talisman tied with a red line and said to Su Jiuyue, "since you don't want money, I will give this peace talisman to you, good lady. Someday when you come to the capital, you can also come to Changqing temple to find me. At that time, if you are in trouble, I will certainly help you."
Su Jiuyue took the peace talisman. It looked no different from the peace talisman she sought in the Taoist temple normally.
She took a look and accepted it. "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist priest, but I won't be going to the capital in recent years."
It was not that she didn't believe her husband. It was just that Wu Xiyuan's health had just improved. If he missed the imperial examination held in autumn this year, the next one would be three years later.
However, the Taoist priest before her looked at her and smiled meaningfully, "good lady, you're sure to go to the capital."
After saying that, he didn't stay long, and just said goodbye and left here.
Surprise filled Su Jiuyue' heart. She shook her head and closed the door.
Before she could finish washing a piece of clothes, there was another knock on the door.
"What is it with today? Why are so many people coming to my home?"
She wondered and ran to the door and asked, "who is it?"
"It's me, Yang Liu."
Su Jiuyue was stunned and immediately opened the door.
Standing at the door was still Yang Liu from before, but she dressed up completely differently from the way she used to.
She was dressed in men's clothes, with her hair tied up high, without makeup or jewelry, but it was inexplicable that people can't take their eyes off her.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she vaguely felt that the Yang Liu seemed to have changed.
"Why are you... dressed like this?"
Yang Liu grinned at her, laughing very loudly, "how about it? Is it nice?"
Su Jiuyue looked at her from head to toe, and then nodded cautiously, "nice!"
Yang Liu was happy and reached out her hand and pinched her face.
Su Jiuyue knocked off her hand dissatisfied, and Yang Liu said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you this time. I'm leaving."
Su Jiuyue widened her eyes. "You are leaving? Where else can you go? Where's Mr. Cui? Does he want you to go with you?"
Seeing that she didn't know anything, Yang Liu immediately laughed very happily, "Jiuyye, I found that you are like my blessing doll. Since I met you, my life has always kept getting better."
Su Jiuyue didn't understand. In her opinion, in all of Yang Liu's life, she was first dominated by her parents, then tortured by her husband's family, and ran away and fell into another hellhole. Besides, Mrs. Cui hurt her and made her infertile for a life time.
Her life being so miserable, how could she still say that it has always kept getting better?
She was really optimistic.
"I'm no blessing doll." She retorted subconsciously.
Yang Liu just shook her head, "do you think I'm pitiful?"
Su Jiuyue nodded, and Yang Liu continued, "I used to feel sorry for myself, but the Cui family somehow offended the nobles. Although I was driven out of Yongzhou, I left this sad place by accident."
She looked at Su Jiuyue, who had an innocent look, and her was vaguely envious, but then she was relieved. She smiled freely and freely, "don't feel sorry for me. From now on, I will be the real Yang Liu. Since they forced me to take that permanent contraception soup, I have gradually understood that a woman can live her without bearing children, and without being an accessory to anyone. Life is short, and I will live only for myself from now on."
When she said these words, Su Jiuyue looked at her and felt that her whole body was shining.
She suddenly felt that she was a little ridiculous. Many people were ignorant all their lives, and they didn't know the meaning of their lives. Now that Yang Liu could find the meaning of her life, she should be happy for her.
"Wait for me." Su Jiuyue said.
Yang Liu didn't understand. Su Jiuyue hurried back to the house and came out in a moment.
She held two pieces of silver in her hand. It looked like there were about three liang of silver.
She stuffed the silver into Yang Liu's hand, "dear sister, take this money. It's said that one should save at home and travel with wealth. I don't have much money left. Consider this my blessing to you."
She said sincerely, but Yang Liu was shocked.
She came from the countryside, so naturally she knew the condition of the Wu family in the past.
Maybe they had a good life in their village, but three liang of silver was definitely a big expense for them.
And now Su Jiuyue just gave this money to a woman she might never see again. How naive she was.
She took Su Jiuyue's hand, put the silver back in her hand, and then clenched her fist for her.
Su Jiuyue was really a wonderful person. When she didn't like Yang Liu, she called her name directly without disguise. But now she called her sister, which sounded adorable.
"My dear sister, I didn't spent half a year in Cui's house for nothing. I don't need money. You'd better keep it for yourself! I heard that Wu Xiyuan has recovered, and you will be needing money for many circumstances in the future!"
Seeing that she couldn't take the money, Su Jiuyue thought for a while and took something out of her purse and handed it to her.
"Since you are not short of money, just take this."
Yang Liu looked down and saw that what she held in her hand was a peace talisman.
