Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

Yu Tang didn't think much about it. This was her place for business and anyone could come.

After the ink was ground, Yu Tang threw one or two taels of silver to his servant Cheng Chang and sent him out to play.

Cheng Chang is only fifteen years old this year, and Yu Tang has always treated him as a child.

He followed Yu Tang in and out, and knowing what she meant, he nodded obediently and went out without saying a word.

The room faces the back alley, and occasionally the cries of hawkers can be heard from afar.

Yu Tang picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. The ink spread on the paper. She stared at her own handwriting, which was still passable, in a trance.

I remember when I first started writing with a brush, my poorly written simplified characters shocked my subordinates.

Now after practicing for a few months, I have become quite decent and upright.

“Knock, knock, knock.” Before I could write a few words, there was a knock on the door from outside. It was the shop assistant. “Sir, there is a lady who wants to see you.”

"Come in."

"Did you say what it was about?" Yu Tang asked.

The clerk shook his head and said, "I just said that I am the wife of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Fang Li, and that it's okay if you are too busy to meet me."

Fang Li? Li Qing'er?

Li Qing'er wanted to see her for what, Yu Tang was confused. "Please ask Madam Fang to go to the private room of Yuzihao and wait for a while."

The waiter left after hearing the words. Yu Tang put the things on the table in order, tidied his appearance, and walked towards the private room.

After knocking gently on the door of the private room, Yu Tang pushed it open and went in.

Sitting at the round table in the private room was the woman in green seen in the lobby before, Li Qing'er, and standing behind her was a little maid in light green clothes.

Yu Tang stood at the door, bowed politely and asked, "Madam, do you want to see me? Is there anything we have done to not entertain you well?"

"Ah, no, no..."

Li Qing'er seemed a little restrained. She stood up, saluted, and pointed to the seat opposite.

"Sir, why don't you sit down and talk?"

"Excuse me sir, I am sorry for being abrupt, but there is something I really want to verify with you."

Yu Tang sat down at the table, which was already filled with some pastries and a pot of hot tea.

Li Qing'er signaled the little girl behind her to pour tea for Yu Tang and spoke softly.

She was very pretty and elegant, with a pale and bloodless face, looking as weak as a willow in the wind.

She has a calm and peaceful temperament, and is a woman who makes people have no disgusted thoughts at first sight.

"What's the matter?" Yu Tang asked with a smile, but also a bit curious in his heart.

"This..." Li Qing'er hesitated for a moment and looked at the little girl beside her.

The little girl bowed silently and left the private room sensibly.

The door of the private room was not closed. Yu Tang felt a little uncomfortable and looked at Li Qing'er strangely.

"Sir, are you a girl?"

Yu Tang was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He still smiled and asked, "Why did Madam Fang say that?"

Li Qing'er was a little embarrassed. "I thought your voice was a little strange before, and your steps were a little delicate and not like a man's."

"If such a strange person as you were a woman, I would really like to make friends with her, so I am being rude."

As she spoke, she seemed a little excited, and her words showed great admiration for Tang.

Faced with Li Qing'er's sudden enthusiasm, Yu Tang felt a little embarrassed.

She is very confident that she dresses like an ordinary man, but because she has no idea how to change her voice, she always speaks in a low voice when she is out, which may sound a little strange.

And her walking posture, she has been walking this way for several lifetimes and can't change it in a short time.

I originally thought that no one would be able to see clearly because of the long robe, but I didn't expect Li Qing'er to be so perceptive. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.

Now am I going to say that I am just more feminine, not a woman?

This is too clumsy, but what if I admit it?

The person in front of him was Li Qing'er, who had a close relationship with Fang Zhien. Yu Tang was unable to weigh the pros and cons and did not speak.

In Li Qing'er's opinion, Mr. Yu had a difficult expression on his face, and he might have something to hide, so she hurriedly said considerately, "If you have any difficulties, it's okay if you don't say it."

Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Yu Tang no longer concealed it.

"It's okay. I am indeed a woman. I just disguised myself as a man for convenience when I go out. I hope Madam Fang can keep it a secret for me."

Li Qing'er was so excited that her blood boiled. A blush appeared on her pale face. She stared at Yu Tang with sparkling eyes and nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, of course. Since you are a woman, you can just call me Qing'er."

"My surname is Yu, and my given name is Tang, which means "Tang" in "haitang". Qing'er, don't call me Mr., just call me Yu Tang."

The two exchanged names and had a conversation, which was basically Li Qing'er's one-sided praising of Tang.

Li Qing'er was afraid of wasting Yu Tang's time so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She was reluctant to leave.

"Meeting Sister Tang today has put my mind at ease. I just don't know when I can meet her again and express my true feelings."

Li Qing'er looked very lonely. Yu Tang felt embarrassed to appear too cold after hearing so many nice things from others.

"I may not come to Zhehualou often. Qing'er, if you have anything to ask, you can write a letter and give it to the clerk at the counter."

When Li Qing'er heard this, she happily agreed.

Looking at the person's receding back, Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. This Li Qing'er was really unexpected. She looked weak and swaying in the wind, but she acted in a rather heroic manner.

It's this enthusiasm that is really a bit too much to handle.

Feeling inexplicably exhausted, Yu Tang returned to his study, where he did some accounting, wrote a plan, and drew a few new drawings.

After mid-afternoon, Cheng Chang returned, carrying a variety of cheap snacks and a string of candied haws.

Every time Cheng Chang came back, he would bring some street snacks, but Yu Tang thought those snacks had no taste and never ate them.

Once in a while, a string of candied haws that Cheng brought back was eaten by Yu Tang. From then on, there was always a string of candied haws among the things Cheng bought.

Yu Tang naturally took the candied haws from his hand, took a bite and almost had his teeth choked by the sour taste.

In ancient times, refined sugar was very expensive, so people generally used homemade sugar, which was not sweet enough and the color was not good.

She chewed twice to get used to the sour taste, stood up and said, "Let's go back."

When I went downstairs, there were far fewer people in the store than when I first arrived.

Cheng Chang was carrying something and walking silently behind. He was young, but very mature.

After staying with Yu Tang for a few months, he has become much more active.

At first, Yu Tang even suspected that he had autism and never communicated with others much.

After walking out of Zhehua Tower, the two of them walked leisurely on the street, one in front of the other.

Yu Tang was eating a candied haws when he suddenly saw a few people on horseback, walking slowly towards him.

The leader held his head high, his face full of satisfaction.

The two people on the left and right, with flattering smiles on their faces, kept saying "Master Fang is really a talented person."

I don’t know whether to say it is fate or not. She has been in Beijing for several months, but this is the first time she has run into Fang Zhien.

Yu Tang snorted coldly and walked past as if he didn't see it.

Fang Zhien was riding a horse, feeling very proud when listening to the flattery from the people around him. He caught a glimpse of a face out of the corner of his eye, and instantly shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.
