Shen Fengming has an upright figure and handsome face. There seems to be a faint sense of oppression around him, which makes people dare not look at him closely.
Yang Sheng was not much inferior to him, with a pair of eyes slightly longer than peach blossom eyes, which were moving even though they were heartless.
Xu Qingshan recognized that the two people were the ones he met in the small restaurant on the way to escape the famine. He was very surprised. How did they get here
They took Jiang Yunzhu to town? They and Jiang Yunzhu...
"These two are grain merchants who are staying in my house." Chen explained quickly.
So that's how it is. Xu Qingshan knew that Chen had talked to Gu Yongde yesterday about her family having a grain merchant, but he didn't expect that the grain merchant was these two people.
Yang Sheng got off the horse and looked at Jiang Yunzhu, "Miss Jiang, are you going to town?"
Jiang Yunzhu really wanted to say that she would not go. It would be fine if she did not go! But if she did not go, what would happen to the business? The most fearful thing for a newly established business is to lose credibility.
She nodded and said "hmm".
"We are going to town too and can take you with us," Yang Sheng said.
"Sir, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. You only have two horses..." Chen didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant. Jiang Yunzhu was a girl, and they were two men with two horses. How were they going to take care of her
A man and a woman riding together? Jiang Yunzhu is a girl. How would she look if she was seen by others
It was better for the two men to ride one horse and Jiang Yunzhu to ride the other.
It doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.
Yang Sheng was choked. He had never really thought about this question. He just saw Xu Qingshan was about to take Jiang Yunzhu away again, and he said that on impulse.
Now, he looked at Shen Fengming and asked, "Would you like to ride a horse with me?"
Shen Fengming looked at him quietly.
Yang Sheng shrank his neck. But this little thing was not difficult for him. He said to Chen, "If one of us goes, we can get it done. In this way, let Miss Jiang ride my horse while I rest at home."
"But Yunzhu can't ride a horse." Chen was worried. She didn't know Shen Fengming's background, so how could she let a girl like Jiang Yunzhu go out with him? "Let Yunzhu ride in a donkey cart, it's more stable.
I won't bother you anymore, sir." She said.
"Yes, just take my donkey cart." Xu Qingshan also spoke.
"It's not a big deal. Donkey carts are so slow. My horse can travel 800 miles a day. We'll be in town in no time. It doesn't matter if Miss Jiang doesn't know how to ride. My horse is smart and docile and won't hurt anyone.
If you don't believe me, just watch." Yang Sheng said, turning around and whistling at his black horse, shouting, "Yue Ying."
The black horse seemed to know that he was calling it, and it trotted over and rubbed his hand with its head.
What a great horse! Everyone was amazed.
Half a minute later, Jiang Yunzhu sat on the horse, still feeling a strange sense of unreality.
Yang Sheng insisted that she ride his horse. Chen was worried, and Xu Qingshan said he wanted to go to the town too.
In the end, it became that she was riding Yang Sheng's horse, Xu Qingshan was driving a donkey cart behind, and Yang Sheng was sitting on the donkey cart
Jiang Yunzhu looked back and saw Yang Sheng sitting on the donkey cart in a brocade robe with his long legs slung across his body. It looked so out of place no matter how you looked at it.
Feeling Jiang Yunzhu looking at him, Yang Sheng smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
Jiang Yunzhu silently withdrew her gaze and looked to the side.
Next to him was Shen Fengming. Yang Sheng said that although his horse was docile, he was afraid that it might be frightened and get into danger, so he put the reins in Shen Fengming's hands and asked him to help hold the horse, so that there would be no risk of error.
Shen Fengming helped her lead the horse, and the two walked side by side. Because the reins were so long, Jiang Yunzhu was very close to him, so close that sometimes their hair would get tangled in the wind.
"Otherwise, I'll do it myself. This horse is really docile." Jiang Yunzhu was afraid that she would accidentally bump into him, so she moved to the side and said.
Shen Fengming looked at her. Because of his height, she looked up at him with her eyes as red as water and her lips as red as roses.
"Let me do it," he heard himself say.
Arriving in the town, Jiang Yunzhu still had a lot of things to buy today. Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming followed her, and she pretended to be illiterate and asked them to help her read the names of the dishes on the note, and then she went straight to the market.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly realized that Xu Qingshan, Yang Sheng and even Shen Fengming were following her.
Aren't they going to do any work? She turned her head and looked at them.
"I'll just buy some tobacco leaves, and when I go back I can just buy some from the tobacco shop I pass by." Xu Qingshan said.
"We don't have anything to do either." Yang Sheng said with a smile.
Jiang Yunzhu stopped and decided to make her point clear.
"Brother Xu, can you come over here for a moment?" she said to Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan took a few steps towards her.
Jiang Yunzhu walked forward a few steps, found an empty corner, thought seriously for a while, and said to him, "Brother Xu, you don't have to wait for me, I can go back by myself. Also, tomorrow morning, if you want to eat spicy soup, come to our stall, I will save a bowl for you.
If you want to help us move things, then that's fine. I don't want to trouble you too much."
"No..." Xu Qingshan wanted to say, it's no trouble, he is willing to help her. But suddenly, he understood something.
He looked at her in a daze. Was that what she meant
"I just want to make money now, not anything else." Jiang Yunzhu felt that she had made it clear enough.
Xu Qingshan felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and his mind went blank. After a while, he gave a bitter smile. Jiang Yunzhu was beautiful and smart, and to him, she was like the moon in the sky. He knew that he was not worthy of her, but he always had a little hope in his heart, what if!
Now that she had made her point clear, his heart, which had been wandering, finally settled down.
"Is it because of those two..." He wanted to ask if it was because of Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming.
"No." Jiang Yunzhu said.
Xu Qingshan actually had a lot more to say, such as he didn't know the background of those two people, and he was afraid that she was being cheated, etc.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at him with clear eyes.
Xu Qingshan was suddenly speechless. As a smart girl, she should know everything.
"I understand." He just said.
Jiang Yunzhu nodded and said, that’s good.
She looked at Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming again. In fact, it was mainly Yang Sheng. It was his idea to bring her to the town, and it was also him who followed her. She didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Like her? She didn't feel that way at all.
Yang Sheng just didn't want Jiang Yunzhu to be with Xu Qingshan. Jiang Yunzhu and Xu Qingshan were talking just now, and although he didn't hear clearly what she said, he could guess something by looking at the two of them, especially Xu Qingshan's expression.
If Xu Qingshan didn't follow Jiang Yunzhu, he wouldn't care.
"Let's go to the teahouse to have some tea and breakfast." Yang Sheng said with a smile, "You haven't had breakfast either, come with us. You've been cooking for us these past two days, now it's my turn to treat you."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary. You guys go ahead. I have something else to do. Besides, you paid me for cooking for you." Jiang Yunzhu spoke very politely, and her refusal was obvious.
Yang Sheng didn't force her and watched her leave with a smile.
Jiang Yunzhu quickly bought everything she needed for the day. She thought about hiring a donkey cart to go back.
There were so many things that she couldn't carry them all.
It seems that when I save money in the future, I will have to buy a donkey first.
Just as she was thinking about it, a big hand took the food from her hand.
Jiang Yunzhu looked up and saw that it was Xu Qingshan. He hadn’t gone back yet
Xu Qingshan smiled and said, "I just thought a lot." After a pause, he said, "Since you call me Brother Xu, I will treat you as my sister from now on.
We escaped from famine together, so we shouldn't become estranged from each other.
I want to play footwork with Uncle Jiang in the future.
You are so smart, you will definitely come up with good ideas, maybe I can make a lot of money with Uncle Jiang in the future. " He said the last sentence jokingly.
Jiang Yunzhu was slightly startled and looked at him.
Xu Qingshan tried to avoid her gaze at first, but then he raised his eyes and looked back at her with a sincere look.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled.
When Xu Qingshan saw her smile, he smiled too, and the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared.
"Get on the car, I'll take you back. I can take you back today, but not necessarily tomorrow. I'll have to carry a few more people tomorrow and save up money to buy a donkey as soon as possible." Xu Qingshan said in a loud voice.
"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu agreed with a smile and got on the donkey cart.
Soon, they arrived at Changshi Village.
Chen was sitting at the door picking vegetables with worry. When she saw Jiang Yunzhu coming back in Xu Qingshan's donkey cart, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After unloading the things, Xu Qingshan returned home.
When I reached the door, I saw a man coming out. The man was holding a scroll of painting in his hand. His eyebrows were like mountains, his eyes were like rivers, and his whole body was like clouds and water when he moved. He was indescribably handsome and elegant.
This person was his cousin Gu Yanzhou.
Looking at him, Xu Qingshan suddenly thought of Yang Sheng, Shen Fengming, and... Jiang Yunzhu.
