Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reading? Levice
and Yan Zhiheng met Ista's mother Ruiding, but it was completely because of a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On December 4th, He Yanxin slept lazily at night, but He Yan Zhiheng got up very early. When he had nothing to do, he wanted to wander around the city of Saktin.
He Yan Zhiheng didn't know Lei Tingwen, so he could only judge what each store was doing through analysis. Places such as taverns, restaurants, tailors, blacksmiths, theaters, bookstores, etc., can be analyzed by the patterns on the signs, or the atmosphere of the shops, but other places are not so easy to judge.
For example, the famous "Popular Lover's Street" in the 6th arrondissement, where the signature pattern here is a colorful dress. He Yan Zhiheng didn't know the meaning of colorful clothes in Leiting culture, and thought that this was a place to sell clothes. He saw that it was quite lively, so he stupidly went in. There are all kinds of women soliciting customers along the way, and as soon as they attract customers, they will temporarily close their shops and open them after the customers have finished their purchases.
The more he Yan Zhiheng went inside, the more he felt that something was wrong. At this moment, two Magic Academy students who had just finished spending their money walked out of Reading's shop, giggling and commenting on each other's performance. These two students actually liked Retin, partly because Reettin was beautiful and feminine, and partly because they really liked the taste.
They abuse Ridin simply because they are Daisy's cronies and must obey Dais's orders. At first, they were really cruel, but then they became more and more unbearable to torture Retin, and the last few times they were abused almost just went through the motions, and even then they felt uncomfortable.
In order to make her conscience feel better, these two people often recommend Retin's shop to others after leaving, and solicit business for her, which is the real reason why Retin's store business has improved.
As soon as the two went out, they bumped into He Yan Zhiheng, who had rich experience, and at a glance saw that He Yan Zhiheng was the first time to come, so they walked directly forward and recommended Ruiting's shop to him. As soon as He Yan Zhiheng heard that this was actually a place for fun, he wanted to leave, and when those people saw him wearing brocade clothes and speaking with a Tairong accent, they knew that he was a fat sheep for Riding, how could he let him run away?
So they immediately surrounded him "enthusiastically", and then involuntarily threw him into Retin's store, and closed the door for Retin. When He Yan Zhiheng was thrown in, Rytin just changed into a set of clothes and was about to go out to pick up customers, she saw He Yan Zhiheng who fell to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
He Yan Zhiheng just wanted to run away after getting up, but found that his left foot was twisted, so he could only let Rising walk to the edge of the bed and sit down. It was the first time for He Yan Zhiheng to enter this kind of place, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
"That'...... That one...... Declare it in advance...... I, I, I, ...... I...... I am...... I was ...... Someone threw it in...... No...... Not trying to ...... I...... I...... That ......"
He Yan Zhiheng's panicked appearance made Ruiding feel funny, but years of life as a public lover made her learn to quickly adjust her emotions and change her expression as she wanted, so she quickly suppressed her smile and didn't laugh out loud.
"I see what you mean." Ridin smiled gently at He Yan Zhiheng, "I won't force you to do anything, but you seem to have twisted your foot now, please allow me to check it for a while, and then boil a pot of hot water for you, and warm your injury with a towel, which may make you feel better." If you feel like you can go, do it yourself. ”
He Yan Zhiheng saw that Rising did not "take advantage of others' danger" and forced him to do this or that thing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and let Rising take off his shoes and socks and check the injury for himself.
"Hmm...... The injury doesn't seem to be serious...... I'm sorry, but I don't really understand it, but I just judge it by feeling. ”
Ratin looked up, an apologetic smile on his face.
"I have a daughter who twisted her foot when she was a kid and I only had that one experience. You seem to be hurting like my daughter, and she will be able to walk the next day. ”
He Yan Zhiheng didn't know anything about medical skills, so he could only nod helplessly, which was regarded as agreeing with Ruiting's statement. After that, Rising went to the water tank in the back room and filled a pot of water and lit a fire to boil the water.
Taking advantage of Ruiting's work, he and Yan Zhiheng carefully looked at her shop. In his opinion, this is an ordinary people's residence, not like a place to do a leather business. He had calmed down, and he couldn't help but talk to Reading.
"How long have you been in this business?"
Rui Ding didn't expect He Yan Zhiheng to take the initiative to say to himself, so he immediately raised his head and replied with a smile.
"It's been about ten years."
"Ten years?!"
He Yan Zhiheng was taken aback by this answer, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Rui Ding saw He Yan Zhiheng's embarrassed expression and smiled helplessly.
"You may not believe it, but in fact, I was originally the wife of a serious family."
He Yan Zhiheng belongs to the kind of stupid person who is not easy to doubt others, so he believed Reading's words without thinking about it.
"Your husband died?"
Reading shook his head helplessly, revealing a wry smile.
"I was divorced by my husband - but I can swear I never betrayed my husband. Listening to the accent, you should be a Taerong person, I once received a few Taeyong guests, and they said that Taeyong people believe in heaven and can swear to heaven poisonously, so that people will believe you. We Leyting people can't do it, because we don't have God, and no one will believe us even if we swear an oath. ”
When it came to the topic of faith, He Yan Zhiheng wrinkled the corner of his left eye, because he was not good at this kind of topic.
"If you talk about God, I have a friend who is very good, but I don't understand it very well. You might laugh at me if you say it, but as a Taeyong person, I didn't even know what the sky was until I met this friend. Later, I learned that the gods of the Taeyong people, the apocalyptic gods of the Ira people, and the god of light abandoned by the Letin people are the same existence. ”
Riding listened to He Yan Zhiheng's words, and his eyes lit up.
"You know the God of Light, too?"
"Well, I just know." He Yan Zhiheng scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I can't even understand the heaven of our Tairong people, and the gods of other nations can't understand it." ”
"But didn't you just say—"
"That's what my friend told me."
He Yan Zhiheng paused, and turned his gaze to the direction where the Leting-Sackin School of Magic was located.
"He's in that Leitin-Sackin School of Magic right now, and I want to go there to see him, but I don't know how."
The fact that Mel went to school at the Leting-Sackin School of Magic was not a secret, and he had no intention of hiding his relationship with the Yan siblings. People with a little bit of identity in these years will definitely have a few acquaintances of foreign races, and if they don't, they will look very different. However, Maier's surname is classified and must not be said to the outside world, which is known to Yan Zhiheng.
"What a coincidence, my daughter attends the Leitin-Saktin School of Magic, and if you don't dislike it, I can take you there."
"Huh? Your daughter? ”
As a Taeyong person, he naturally didn't know that the popular lover in the Leiding culture was capable of supporting his children to attend the magic academy - of course, provided that you had a child with a talent for magic.
But the income of the mass lover is not as high as people think. For example, the shops in the popular lover street in Sakding City are rented, and the monthly rent is at least 1,000 fatas, and people who don't have the ability don't dare to make money here, because they can't even earn back their capital.
In addition to the rent of the shop, the public lovers also had to decorate the shop, prepare the props or materials needed for colorful clothes and various special services, and eat a herb that can prevent pregnancy, all of which cost money. In addition to rent, taxes and other expenses, when the business is good, the net income of Reading will rarely exceed 3000 Falta, and when the business is bad, the net income of 2000 Falta a month is good, which is still because of the beautiful and well-run Ruiding people.
Of course, lately, thanks to the two Magic Academy students who were ravaging Ryding at Daisy's behest, Rising has made a lot more money than before.
If you use your own store to make a store, the rent is saved, but the customer flow is not as good as the public lover street, you can only accumulate customers little by little, and the business is not very easy to do. The most important thing is that if you use your own shop as a store, you will be looked down upon by your neighbors, and if your neighbor's wife is suspicious and thinks that her husband has been seduced by a public lover, she will get into trouble. Even if the other party doesn't know what to do, he will secretly interfere with their business and find a way to force them to leave.
When it comes to his daughter, Reading is proud and helpless. She was proud because Ista had a talent for magicians, but she was helpless because of her husband, who didn't believe that Ista was his own daughter.
In fact, Rising really didn't betray her husband, and Ista was indeed her and her husband's biological daughter. Ista's parents were not gifted with magic, but she had an excellent talent for magic. This is extremely rare among the Letin people, and is usually thought to be a woman and a certain Letin magician*** because it does happen in reality.
Rising briefly explained the reason for his dismissal, and when she saw that He Yan Zhiheng seemed willing to believe her words, she told him the truth about her experience of raising her daughter alone.
After being divorced by her husband, Ridin took Ista back to her parents' home and reverted to her original surname "Levist". The mother's family also felt that Rytin and the Rytin Magician were **, but they did not despise Rytin because of this, but encouraged her to go to the Rytin Wizard and make him responsible for Rytin and Ista.
Ratin wanted to find a man to support herself and Ista, but the problem was that the so-called "Lytin Magician" did not exist at all, and after being divorced, Reading's reputation suffered, and no man wanted to marry her. It's not a long-term solution to always stay at her mother's house, so Reading can only find a way to support herself.
At first, Retine wanted to work as a waitress in a noble or wealthy businessman, but when she was looking for a job, she heard that the income of a public lover was very high, and it was not a problem for a good-looking person to earn twenty or thirty thousand Falta a year.
If he could earn twenty or thirty thousand Falta a year, Rising would be able to send Ista to the Leitin-Saktin Academy of Magic. Ridin was only 24 years old when she was divorced, and as long as Ista graduated from the Leting-Sackin School of Magic before she became old, she would become a Ryding magician, from a commoner to a nobleman, and her fate would be fundamentally changed.
For the happiness of her daughter, she borrowed a sum of money from her mother's family, rented a shop in the public lover street, and became a public lover. Because of her first-class appearance and good personality, her business has been booming, and it didn't take long for the store to have regular customers.
After paying back the money and saving enough for the referral and the first year's tuition, Reading took Ista back from her parents' home. She followed the instructions of one of the store's regulars, found a recommender, and after delivering the favor and sleeping with him for another night, that person sent Ista to the Leting-Sackin Academy of Magic and Magic.
On the way to tell about his experience, the water boiled. So Rytin used a hot towel to wrap his feet with Yan Zhiheng while telling him his experience. The more He Yan Zhiheng listened, the more moved he became, and finally he cried. Rytin comforted him like a child for a while before he stopped crying and took a money bag from the inside pocket of his jacket, which contained the pocket money that He Yan Xinye gave him. He shoved the money bag into Ridding's hand and wanted to help Rytin.
Although Reettin is short of money, she never accepts favors from others in vain. She is not a woman who chases fame and fortune, otherwise she would not have politely rejected Ima's proposal. So she refused to accept He Yan Zhiheng's money, and threatened him that if he insisted, she could only sleep with him.
As soon as He Yan Zhiheng heard this, he immediately became honest, and could only put the money back into the pocket on the inside of his jacket. After the hot compress ended, He Yan Zhiheng found that his feet no longer hurt. Seeing this, Rui Ding let He Yan Zhiheng leave on the grounds that he still had to do business.
But she hadn't forgotten what she had just said, she was going to the Leting-Sackin Academy of Magic to send living expenses to Ista recently, and she could take Yan Zhiheng to see his friends. He Yan Zhiheng was even more moved after hearing this, patting his chest and promising that he would come to Ruiding tomorrow.
As for what happened after that, I don't need to go into details. It's nothing more than telling Yan Zhiheng about his experience to He Yan Xinye, and after that, He Yan Xinye said that he wanted to go with him. As for whether she really wanted to go to see Maier with her brother, or whether she wanted to see if He Yan Zhiheng had gone to look for flowers and ask Liu, no one other than herself was unknown.
