Chapter 401 Pretending to be yourself
Yu Ren was shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Sangu had already known his identity. But how did she know her identity? Could it be that she was entrusted by Liang Zongyi or Cao Wenzhao and others to find herself? But this is not right!
If this is true, why would she behave like this to herself? If this is true, not to mention how she would treat herself with courtesy, at least she wouldn't let herself sleep in that little woodshed last night!
Yu Ren was guessing there, and the fifth girl had already spoken. She said to her sister-in-law in a firm tone, "Impossible. I heard that he helped the Ming Dynasty to quell the Shandong Rebellion, and then went back to the south. After all, his home was in the south, and his foundation was in the south. It was impossible for him to stay in the north for a long time, let alone come to Liaodong. What's more, we are still North Korea.
"Sister-in-law, don't lie to me."
Liu Sangu laughed. "Sister-in-law didn't lie to you. This person is named Yu Ren! But he is Yu Ren from Liaoyang, not Yu Ren from Quanzhou. If you don't believe me, please ask him."
At this time, Li Liang had already quietly walked to Yu Ren and whispered in his ear, "Miss Five wants to ask your name, and you say you are Yu Ren."
Yu Ren smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't expect someone to pretend to be him.
The fifth girl did not come forward to ask Yu Ren's name.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you think I will believe it if you find such a fake guy with the same appearance as him?"
Liu Sangu jumped off the horse and hugged the shoulders of the fifth girl who had already dismounted. She did not distinguish between Yu Ren's identity and the fifth girl. This is a very obvious thing. At this time, the world is in a turbulent state. With Yu Ren's current identity, he has no reason to come here. Even if he comes, he can't just bring one woman without the guard. Liu Sangu is very clear about this, and she knows that the fifth girl in her family is also very clear. So she bypassed the topic.
"Fifth sister! Tell us our family! Since your grandfather passed away, the situation has been getting worse. Now we have finally found such a place, and it has been settled. Your brother left early. I have to take care of such a family.
It’s not easy for my sister-in-law! Moreover, your brother repeatedly told me before leaving, asking me to take good care of you and not allow you to go out, for fear that you will bring disaster to our family again.
If we say that our family has been glorious and wealthy, we have lived a wealthy life. Now our family has nothing to lack. As long as life is peaceful and the family can be together every day, it will be the greatest happiness. This is also your brother’s wish.
So, your brother told me to find a young man for you, recruit him into our family, and let you stay in the village. But you have to think about the person you have never even met.
I also admit that Yu Ren is excellent, outstanding, and a talent that has never been seen in a century. But so what! He treats us like the moon in the sky, and we can't reach it!
Girl, listen to my sister-in-law’s advice. Don’t leave!
Don’t say that he is thousands of miles away from us now, what can you do if you find him? I heard from others that he has married three wives, and one of them is the Princess of the Ming Dynasty.”
The fifth girl quietly listened to her sister-in-law's words and stopped talking.
At this time, the small Li Liang walked up.
"Miss Five. I think this kid is pretty good. He looks good, almost exactly the same as the painting you collected."
The fifth girl glared at Li Liang, "No matter how good she looks, she is just a fake!"
After saying that, the fifth girl turned around and left.
Liu Sangu looked at Yu Ren and hurriedly chased after him. Li Liang wanted to please the fifth girl, but unexpectedly he was ridiculed. Li Liang's anger was naturally transferred to Yu Ren. At this time, Yu Ren was still very ignorant of the current affairs and chuckled. Li Liang glared at Yu Ren fiercely.
"What's funny? What's so proud of you, a fake."
After saying that, Li Liang left Yu Ren and left alone.
Yu Ren didn't care about Li Liang as much as he was. Seeing that Li Liang had actually left him, Yu Ren was secretly happy and was about to sneak down the mountain and then find a way to go back to Zhenjiang. At this time, the previous little girl Xueqin appeared again.
"The young lady called you."
Yu Ren had no choice but to follow Xueqin to meet Liu Sangu.
Liu Sangu called Yu Ren into the study and took a painting from the bookshelf. When he expanded it, he found that the person painting on it was actually similar to Yu Ren. Yu Ren was confused. Although he had heard that Liu Sangu was discussing himself with the fifth girl before, he had obviously never seen the fifth girl. This made Yu Ren secretly strange. At this time, he saw that Liu Sangu actually took out such a painting, which made Yu Ren even more puzzled.
"This is……"
"This is a painting I have made by someone imitating the room of my fifth girl. The person in the painting is Yu Ren. He is a pirate in the Ming Dynasty. Don't you think he is a pirate, but he is a pirate who is unique in ancient and modern times. He is talented and values love and righteousness. I can no exaggeration to say that this person has now become the dream lover in the hearts of countless girls who are waiting to be written in the Ming Dynasty. And our five girls are one of them."
Yu Ren picked up the painting, but he didn't expect that the painting was really me. No wonder it looked so similar.
"I seem to have heard of this person, but he seems to have only been in Southeast and Shandong! How could his reputation spread to the whole country so quickly!" Yu Ren asked calmly. He was not stupid enough to admit that he was Yu Ren. He knew very well that with his current situation, even if he said he was Yu Ren, others would not believe it, and would only make others think that he had ulterior motives. He might even think that he deliberately pretended to be in order to get to the Li family's marriage, and was looked down upon by others.
"It's all the blame for those storytellers who are walking around the streets! Our family originally lived in Tieling. Because of some reasons from his ancestors, the Jurchens were still polite to our family after they captured Tieling. But we didn't want to live there anymore, so we moved our family here.
After coming here, a market gradually formed here. The market was held every ten days. Once, my five girls heard a storyteller from the south telling a legend about Yu Ren at the market, and became fascinated by it. She invited the storyteller to her home and told her the story of Yu Ren. It took a month to tell her.
I also asked someone to draw a picture.
At first we didn't know. Later, we learned from one of her close maids that she had seen Yu Ren. A few years ago, she and one of her cousins went to Hangzhou and met Yu Ren once. Since then, she has planted love for this kid. After returning from Jiangnan, our family suffered a lot of disaster, and she probably didn't care about it.
Life has settled down now, and she has put this thought aside, but the storyteller has stirred it up again.
Only then did we realize the reason why she refused to get married, and everyone began to worry.
So we began to persuade her to get married soon. But after all, no one she could see. Either the parents were too ugly, or they thought that their martial arts were too poor, and they could not compare with this Yu Ren. Originally, she clamored to find this Yu Ren in the pass. But I kept her for more than a year on the grounds that her brother had been in a new life for less than three years.
Now that the mourning period is coming, I am worried about how to use how to keep her. It happened that we met you at this time.
If you can keep my fifth sister, you can not only marry her, but our Li family will also give you a lot of wealth."
After Liu Sangu finished speaking, she put away the paintings and took off several books from the bookshelf.
"These books were compiled by me based on the story of the storyteller. You should take a closer look. If you want to catch up with my fifth sister, you must start with these books and use your appearance to be similar to those of Yu Renchang from Jiangnan. Only in this way can you attract her. I will try my best to create opportunities for you, but whether you can succeed depends on your own.
Although the fifth sister didn't seem to care about you at all, I guessed from her expression when she first saw you that your face was still touching her. Of course, she must have just regarded you as the shadow of the person in her heart. But don't mind. As long as you can marry her, I believe she will be able to slowly transfer her thoughts on that person to you in the future.
Now, you should prepare first and memorize the things in this book. This way, there will be topics to discuss when talking to Wu Mei. As long as my Wu Mei discusses Yu Ren's affairs with others, she often forgets to eat and sleep. This just gives you the opportunity to get close to her. Otherwise, with you, the son of a butcher, she will definitely disdain to answer you."
