22. Repay the favor

Waiting for the footsteps outside to go away, Jiang Wan took the basin and went back to the house with some annoyance.

When Xu Fenggu saw Jiang Wan going and returning, she said strangely: "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Wan said: "I'll see if there's anything to wash, and I'll take it together." ”

Xu Fenggu was not suspicious, nodded and entered the kitchen.

Jiang Wan stayed in her room for a while, estimating the time it would take for Pei You to finish washing his clothes, and gave him half more time before getting up and walking out.

When she came to the brook and saw that he was indeed gone, she quickly squatted down and washed her clothes and went home before the other women came.

At noon, when Jiang Gu went home for dinner, he quietly said to Jiang Wan while his father and mother were not paying attention: "Sister, today I heard from my little cousin that people in the village are rumoring that Xu Tucai was beaten by the enemy last night, and now he is bedridden!" ”

Jiang Wan nodded: "That's good." ”

Since it is such a rumor, it means that Xu Tucai is still an acquaintance, and he has not leaked a trace of tone.

She told Jiang Gu: "The matter has passed, and none of us should mention it again in the future." ”

"Got it, sister! My mouth is the tightest! Jiang Gu almost patted his chest and promised.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere has just dissipated, and the autumn harvest has arrived.

This year, the wind and rain are good, and the land in Yamashita Village is fertile, and it is estimated that the harvest is not far off. Jiang Wan traveled to ancient times is a misfortune, but dressing as the daughter of the Jiang family may be a blessing in misfortune, Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu have both children, and they have no bias towards a pair of children, and even pity her even more because of Jiang Wan's bumpy marriage, and rarely let her do farm work in the past. This time, too, Jiang Wan wanted to go to the field to help, but Xu Fenggu didn't let her.

"Our land is so big, your father and I are enough, and we don't even need the second child, what are you going to make a mess of?" Xu Fenggu said angrily.

Jiang Wan pulled Xu Fenggu's sleeve and shook it: "But mother, isn't it faster for me to help with Xiao Er?" Hurry up, let's do something else early! When it comes to making money, Jiang Wan's eyes are shining.

Xu Fenggu couldn't cry or laugh: "I don't understand, how did your father and I give birth to you and Xiao Er, two little money fans?" ”

Recently, driven by Jiang Wan, Jiang Gu also has a very strong desire to make a fortune, and he often mentions it, and Xu Fenggu just laughs and scolds a few words.

"This shows that our family will develop sooner or later!" Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Mother, let me help you together!" I really want to start a small business now! ”

"Okay, since you have to come, my mother will depend on you, but if you break the skin for a while, don't complain." Xu Fenggu's ugly words are ahead.

The Jiang family later moved into Shanxia Village, and there was not much land allocated, before Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu were in the prime of life, and there was still a surplus of labor, so Jiang Wan had never done much farm work since she was a child, and they all helped at home. But Xu Fenggu is also a good hand at housework, and she dotes on Jiang Wan, and she doesn't let her do many things, so she has almost no calluses on her hands, and she still has fine skin and tender meat. If you participate in the autumn harvest, I am afraid that the skin will be worn out.

"Then I'll do something easy that won't wear out the skin!" Jiang Wan said with a grin.

Xu Fenggu poked her head lightly, and there was nothing she could do about it: "You! "If she is not allowed to do farm work, she will not do it, let her do heavy work and tiring work, and she will say that she will only do light work, which is really ...... But who called this her daughter, she loves to spoil her daughter, what do others do?

So, Jiang Wan's family went to the field. There were other people next to him, and when he saw that Jiang Wan actually came to the field, he couldn't help but wonder: "Aunt Feng, why did your family Wanwan come, it's really strange!" ”

"I asked her not to come, she wanted to come, saying that she could help some of them, and I couldn't do anything about her." Xu Fenggu said helplessly.

The man looked envious: "Your daughter is quite filial!" ”

"It's not, I rush to do all the work at home, I don't let her do it, she still messes with me." Xu Fenggu said with a smile.

Hearing her mother boasting about herself so recklessly outside, Jiang Wan couldn't help but blush. Although it is true that she often helps with household chores at home, she ...... I didn't rush to work. She suddenly remembered that when she was still in modern times, she met some strange parents, who buried their daughters in front of outsiders, and she didn't know what her thoughts were...... Therefore, her mother is her own mother, and she is embarrassed to praise herself so much in front of outsiders.

In the days that followed, it was always sunny. Jiang Wan pulled Jiang Gu to help in the field, and taught him to memorize ancient poems or something during the break, and corrected his pronunciation and mistakes. After a few days of being so busy and going out early and returning late, although Jiang Wan didn't do any heavy work, her legs and feet were still sore.

When she was lying in bed and sleeping, Jiang Wan thought, she really can't be a farmer, and she is so tired that she dies of life after doing so little work, so how can she do it? Sure enough, she still has to try to get as close to mental work as possible.

Because of the relationship between leaving early and returning late, Jiang Wan almost never saw Pei You again, that is, the family came back from the field in the evening and saw him studying under the plane tree from a distance.

One day, Jiang Gushen mysteriously came to Jiang Wan and bit her ear: "Sister, I just saw Mr. Pei walking around our door like a thief, do you think he is going to do something bad?" ”

Jiang Gu was still worried about what Pei You saw that day, and he was afraid that he would talk nonsense everywhere.

Jiang Wan said: "He's a scholar anyway, and he can't do it if he spreads rumors." ”

"Oh......" Jiang Gu. Road.

Jiang Wan looked at him strangely: "What did you do?" ”

Jiang Gu said a little embarrassedly: "I saw that he was tired of wandering in front of our house, so I drove him away." ”

Jiang Wan chuckled: "Do you really dare to drive him?" Aren't you afraid that he will come back to take revenge on our family when he becomes an official in the future? ”

"What?" Jiang Gu's eyes widened, his face full of panic, "Then, what should I do?!" I drove him away with a broom! ”

Jiang Wan's mind immediately appeared that Pei You was driven away by a broom, and she couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Gu said with a bitter face: "Sister, don't laugh, tell me quickly, should I go and accompany him?" ”

"No need." Jiang Wan finally couldn't hold back a smile and touched his head, "Well done!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Gu looked dazed.

Jiang Wan said: "Don't pay attention to him. Even if he becomes an official in the future, we are good citizens, what are we afraid of him? Scholars are all embarrassed, because this kind of trivial matter of turning the dog skin down has been remembered for so many years and still comes to take revenge, such a stingy person who will be repaid, and people in the officialdom may not be able to afford him, and it is a fatal blow to his official reputation. ”

"Oh......" Jiang Gu was confused when he heard this, but after he understood that he didn't need to take the matter of driving people to heart, he was relieved. Anyway, he doesn't understand a lot of what his sister said, just listen to it!

After all the grain in the field was harvested, Jiang Wan couldn't wait to pull Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu, who were full of joy because of this year's good harvest, to sit down, and bring another Jiang Gu to have a family meeting.

Jiang Wan thought that she had little experience in ancient society, and although she had the idea of making money, she didn't know what to do, so she asked Jiang Funian: "Dad, what kind of business do you say we should do?" ”

Jiang Funian has always been an honest man, although he promised Xu Fenggu to do a small business before, but when it came to the end, he felt that he had made a difficulty: "Wanwan, we have planted this field well, what kind of business are we doing?" ”

Xu Fenggu glanced at him: "Boss, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you agree when I told you before, and now you regret it? That's not going to work! ”

Xu Fenggu has long been full of expectations for doing a small business, making money and saving money to leave Shanxia Village, and she is naturally unhappy when she sees Jiang Funian pouring cold water at this time.

Jiang Gu also said: "Yes, Dad, the eldest husband wants to be true to his word!" You can't go back! ”

Jiang Wan quietly gave Jiang Gu a thumbs up, he had learned a lot of words recently, but he didn't expect to use it on his own father at this time.

Jiang Gu winked at Jiang Wan and smiled.

"Dad, you see that our family also has extra income this year, even if we lose it, we are not afraid. Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and I don't think I can afford it. The way of this world is to support the bold and starve the faint-hearted. Those who sell illicit salt will be killed if they are caught, but so many people still do it, isn't it because they can make a lot of money? We don't have to make a lot of money, a small amount of money is enough, do some small business, no one will come to catch us, diligent and diligent business, we can always get better and better. Jiang Wan said seriously.

A family of four, all three of them thought that they wanted to do a small business, and Jiang Funian, as the head of the family, had no choice but to agree. He thought, the dozen taels of silver were still earned back by Wanwan, she wanted to do a small business, so she took it and did it, it didn't hurt if she lost it, he could always continue to farm to feed the family.

Once the family agreed, they began to struggle with what to do.

Like the kind of business that needs to be bought and sold from south to north, they don't have enough capital, and they can't go too far, so they definitely can't do it. With the ability and capital of the Jiang family, they can indeed only do some small business.

"Why don't you sell some snacks?" Xu Fenggu said, "My craftsmanship is passable, if I can't sell it, it won't cost much money, and I can eat it myself." ”

Jiang Gu agreed: "Okay, good! Mother, I can help you eat! ”

Xu Fenggu glared at Jiang Gu, and couldn't help but laugh after glaring at herself.

Jiang Wan said: "Little Er, how do you know to eat now?" If we really open a food stall, I think we will all be eaten by you, where is there anything to sell? ”

Jiang Gu muttered aggrievedly, "How much have I eaten......"

Jiang Wan glanced at him, but seriously thought about Xu Fenggu's suggestion. In ancient times, unlike modern times, the level of labor was low, people were mostly self-sufficient, and there was no extra money to play, so commerce was naturally not as prosperous as in later generations. Rich people have a lot of silver, but they can't do business at this time, and they can't do business on the heads of those rich people, just a dozen taels of capital, which rich person can put it in his eyes? As her mother said, the cost of opening a food stall is small, and she can stop at any time, and she can't lose a few dollars...... Of course, it is relatively unprofitable.

If her golden finger can be made public, she will definitely be able to make a fortune by setting up a stall - but she thinks that it is better to hide this kind of golden finger as much as possible, she is afraid that if she is not careful, public opinion will favor her by a ghost or something, and be caught to exorcise evil spirits or something. Moreover, she will feel uncomfortable after using the gold finger every time, and she is a little worried that she will die quickly if she uses too much, so it is better to use it as little as possible.

"It's okay to be a merchant on the streets." Jiang Funian said, "Aunt Feng, you go to set up a stall, I'll get some groceries to sell around, and I can sell a lot of them if I think about it." ”

Jiang Wan listened silently, and did not express her opinion for the time being, she wanted to do business, but she didn't want her father and mother to work too hard. In fact, they don't have to make a rash decision, they always go to the county seat first and then have a look to understand the market.

Xu Fenggu was discussing with Jiang Funian what to sell and what groceries, Jiang Gu's eyes lit up and he made suggestions, Jiang Wan suddenly said: "Daddy, let's go to the county seat first." In the past, our family has always been farming, and we don't know what business is good to do now, so we have to go and see it. ”

Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu both thought so. They have been farmers for most of their lives, and their annual harvest is so small, they can't save money to think about other things, and they have never thought of changing careers.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the county seat together!" Jiang Gu clapped his hands and laughed. Now that the family also has silver, going to the county seat means that you can buy delicious food, so every time you go to the county seat, Jiang Gu is very happy.

"You stay and look after the house." Jiang Wan said.

Jiang Gu's eyes widened, his face in disbelief.

Xu Fenggu slapped Jiang Wan's hand funny: "Okay, don't tease your brother, let's go together." ”

"Sister, you're so bad!" Jiang Gu said angrily.

Jiang Wan poked Jiang Gu's cheek and covered her mouth and smiled.

Early in the morning of the second day, the family of four had breakfast, locked the door and set off.

It was still early, but the Pei family next door had already moved, as if he heard the sound outside, Pei You walked out of the yard, saw that the Jiang family of four was there, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, are you going to Changping County?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Pei." Jiang Funian said, "Does Mr. Pei have anything to bring?" ”

“…… No need. Pei You shook his head, his gaze couldn't help but sweep to Jiang Wan, and when he saw her turn her head to look at the other side, he sighed in his heart when he didn't save it.

Xu Fenggu said: "Mr. Pei doesn't need to be polite to us, if you have anything to bring, just say it, and it doesn't take much effort." ”

"This ......" Pei You hesitated for a moment, took out an indigo purse from his arms, and handed it over, "Then ask Uncle Jiang and Aunt Feng to help me buy some raw rice paper and come back." ”

Xu Fenggu and Jiang Funian glanced at each other, with hesitation, it's okay to talk about other things, such a thing as bringing paper......

"Mr. Pei, we are all rough people, and we don't know much about paper, so I'm afraid it will break you." Xu Fenggu said apologetically.

Pei You said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's Shengxuan." ”

Pei You said so, and Xu Fenggu had no choice but to respond, she didn't take Pei You's purse, and only smiled: "Then I'll be bold enough to buy it, and when I buy it back, it's not too late for Mr. to give the money." ”

"Thank you very much." Pei You didn't insist and took back his purse.

After the four members of the Jiang family left, Pei You still stood under his plane tree and sighed deeply.

Miss Jiang Wan didn't even look at him, as if she didn't have him. He remembered the way she had always smiled at him in the past, and his heart was stunned. Now his favorite poems have changed from "A man's thousand-year-old chronicles, I have no end in my life", "I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone" to "Sijun is like a full moon, and the night is less bright", "But when I see the tears wet, I don't know who I hate", and he didn't dare to chant to his mother, lest she hear something strange.

In the past few days, he has spent more time reading, but he has not written down much, and his mind is not on reading at all. He always stood under the plane tree and read, but from time to time he looked in the direction of the Jiang family, and when he saw the slender figure, he felt happy in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it felt like to be full of swelling. But as she said that night, there was no longer him in her eyes, even if she accidentally saw it, she should not see it, he felt lost, but he didn't know what to do.

He wanted to tell her that she had misunderstood him that night, but there were always so many scruples in his heart. What if he did, but she didn't believe him? even thought that he was not only a coward, but also lied to her...... Knowing that she looked down on him now, he didn't want her to think of herself worse. But even if she believed him, what about after that? She said...... She said that she had been interested in him, so what should he do if she showed that she believed him? She is interested in him, and he is also happy with her, and the two are happy, so should he come to the door to propose? But his mother would never agree to him marrying her, as well as the families of the first two families who were married to her but died, and Xu Daniu, who broke his leg......

In the earliest days, he must have stayed away from the people of "Kefu". But now, the person is still the same person, but his state of mind has changed. He was still a little afraid of Nakov's life, the two families had died too tragically, but ...... Is Kev really real? What if it's just a coincidence? That Jiang Wan also suffered an unwarranted disaster.

After thinking about it a lot, Pei You's expression changed, and finally let out a long sigh. Now that he and her have no courage to make it clear, where can we talk about what happens next?

After the four members of the Jiang family walked out of the village, Jiang Gu leaned over to Jiang Wan and whispered, "Sister, did you see it just now?" Mr. Pei looks at you strangely! ”

"What does he see me doing?" Jiang Wan also whispered, "Why do you always pay attention to him?" His business has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about him. ”

"Yes...... But it's weird for him to look at you like that! Jiang Gu was not angry, "Sister, didn't you say that the scholars are more knowledgeable than everyone else in our village?" I can't see it, he must be like everyone else who listens to rumors and thinks you're not good! ”

"What does it matter to me if he thinks I'm okay or not?" Jiang Wan poked Jiang Gu's cheek, "Just leave him alone, we have our own things to do, where do we have so much spare time to care about others?" ”

Jiang Gu said with a wobble, "Okay, I know. ”

Jiang Wan rubbed the top of his hair and smiled softly. Now what Pei You thinks of her, she doesn't care, anyway, what's the love, she wants to go out of the village to be a rich man, let him stay in that village and be poor to death!

After the four members of the Jiang family came to the county seat, Xu Fenggu handed over the matter of buying paper to Jiang Wan: "Wanwan, didn't you come to buy paper before?" It's up to you to buy it this time, your father and mother are rough people, if you can't buy it well, you can help Mr. Pei pick it. ”

Jiang Wan responded obediently: "Okay, then let's separate as before, I'll take a walk with Xiao Ersi, and you and your father will also go and have a look." ”

"Okay." Xu Fenggu nodded and gave Jiang Wan three hundred dollars.

Jiang Wan took Jiang Gu to walk around the market first, Jiang Gu wanted to eat delicious food when he saw it, and Jiang Wan's attention was on the shops around him.

If you want to do business, you naturally have to come to the county seat, who loves to spend money in the poor countryside? They can't barter for anything. But there is some distance between the county seat and the village under the mountain, and according to her footsteps, it takes three hours to walk, and if she carries something, it is even slower. In this way, if you go back and forth to the village and the county seat every day, it is too time-consuming and too hard. Then, the best way is to live in the county, but the house in the county is too expensive for them to buy, and they can't afford to buy, so they can only rent it, but they don't know how much the rent will be. Moreover, she felt that her father and mother might not agree to live in the county seat. Because in this way, the people of Shanxia Village have said - since your Jiang family has moved to the city, the fields in the village should be returned to the village, so that they can be planted by others, right? Even if Li Zheng is related to their family, it is unreasonable to occupy the land but make a living in the county. really made her father and mother gamble a lot and give up the land in the village to make a living in the county, and it is estimated that they are not happy. Without land, the two who have been farmers all their lives have no sense of security, just like they have no house and no sense of security in modern times.

Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, it was easy to make up her mind to do business, but if she really wanted to plan, it was a lot of trouble, so she had to put aside her worries for the time being, and slowly discussed with her family.

It happened that there was a book and paper seller next to her, Jiang Wan stopped and said to Jiang Gu, "I'll go in and buy paper, and you can play outside for a while." As she spoke, she gave him twenty cents and let him play in the neighborhood by himself.

"Sister, do you really want to buy it for Mr. Pei?" Jiang Gu said unhappily, "Let's just say that we didn't buy it, okay?" He didn't want to help Pei You at all.

Jiang Wan smiled: "Our father and mother promised others, and we can't go back on our word." Do you remember to be a man of your word? ”

"Remember......" Jiang Gu said reluctantly.

Jiang Wan pointed ahead: "What do you think is that?" ”

Jiang Gu looked back and exclaimed, "Sugar gourd!" He had already stepped out, seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "Then sister, you can just buy some!" When you come out to me, I'll be around here, and I'm not going anywhere!" ”

"Okay, I'll come out to you in a moment." Jiang Wan smiled, turned around and entered the store.

She deliberately branched Jiang Gu apart, but she had her careful thoughts.

There was no one in the shop, so Jiang Wan went directly to the guy in the store and asked, "Do you have any bad shengxuan here?" ”

The guy was a little surprised: "Worse? ”

Jiang Wan nodded affirmatively: "That's right." My family is poor and can't afford to buy good ones, so you can get me some poor shengxuan, the kind of ink that will smudge everywhere. ”

Now the guy was a little dumbfounded: "You want this?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Wan was very resolute.

The guy blinked, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that I had a batch of very poor Shengxuan earlier, and I couldn't sell it at all, and then I lost a lot of it, and I don't know if there are any more." ”

"Please help me find it, thank you." Jiang Wan said.

The guy was also kind enough to ask her to wait, and he rummaged under the counter for a while, and pulled out a stack of rice paper full of ashes: "This is it...... Do you really want to? Even he hated the stack of papers.

"Yes." Jiang Wan said very firmly, "Please give me some good birth announcements again." ”

After paying the money and holding the two stacks of paper in her hands, Jiang Wan began to do her hands and feet in front of the guys, interspersing the bad batch into the good ones.

The guy was dumbfounded: "Girl, what are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Wan smiled: "...... And guess what? ”

The guy honestly said, "I really can't guess. ”

Jiang Wan said: "I think so." ”

After saying that, she didn't think there was anything wrong with leaving this guy a mystery to force OCD to death, so she took the re-bundled paper and turned to leave. When he returned to Shanxia Village, he received Pei You's money for the stacked rice paper, and the stack of bad paper was given to him by her, and he didn't want a penny, as for when he wrote, he suddenly found that some paper was easy to write and some paper was a ball of ink when he wrote...... That's none of her business. Her mother said that they were rough candidates and couldn't choose paper, and he still had to let them choose, who was to blame? Blame himself!

After completing this small act of revenge, Jiang Wan was in a good mood until she was stopped when she was about to walk out of the shop.

"Girl, please stay!"

It was a voice that was very unfamiliar to Jiang Wan, but there was excitement in that voice.

She subconsciously turned around, and saw a graceful man in a gorgeous costume walking up to her with excitement on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Girl, I finally found you here!" ”

This person is Xie Chengchou, the son of the magistrate!

A few days ago, Xie Chengchou received Jiang Wan's warning, and he didn't take it to heart, but just two days later, when he finally saw Liu Ruyue, a new girl from Baihualou who immediately became an Oiran, he had a dispute with a strange son-in-law. He calmed down, and in the face of the boy who was cold to him, he apologized unexpectedly, and gave up the opportunity to see Miss Liu Ruyue with a smile. Seeing that he had such a good attitude and was in a sunny mood, the boy invited him to have fun together. Xie Chengchou did not shirk it, after the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, when the other party was drunk and hazy, he tried to find out the identity of the other party several times, and he was scared into a cold sweat at that time.

This unremarkable son-in-law is actually from the capital, and it is Li Mao, the youngest son of Li Shixian, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers and the first assistant of the cabinet, who is now covering the sky in the court! At that time, if he continued to argue with him, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not beat the other party violently with the many small servants under him, after all, this is the Changping territory, and his father is the magistrate, who is he afraid of? And once you do it, the consequences are ...... He remembered that the head of the cabinet was not a good person, and for decades, the people who opposed him had died properly!

After that, Xie Chengchou thought about the girl who saved him, and perhaps his whole family. He didn't know where she came from or where she was going, and sometimes he even thought that maybe she was a goddess in heaven who had come down to save his family's life, otherwise, how could she be a prophet? He painted her portrait and watched it every day, and his father thought he was hurting Acacia, and vigilantly asked him which girl he was so fascinated by, after all, although he loved beauty in the past, as long as he painted it, he would frame it and hang it high, and he would not stare at it all the time and sigh as he does now. According to his father's meaning, if it is a girl from a good family in the portrait, he should hurry up and marry it back, so as not to be snatched away, if it is just a Qinglou woman, then go more, and if you see more, you won't miss it so much.

Xie Chengchou didn't tell his father about the unpredictable prophet, he felt that he might not believe what he said, so it was better to keep it as a secret for him and the girl. Today he was bored, and he felt that he could not find anyone and was bored, so he came to the market to wander around casually, to see if there were any beauties in the people passing by on the road, and whether there was a chance for him to paint a picture. When he happened to pass by this bookstore, he wanted to see if there were any interesting paintings and calligraphy, and he happened to pass by a girl at the door of the shop, and he instinctively turned his head sideways to see the other person's face, and he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic. There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Jiang Wan was stunned.

In fact, she told Xie Chengchou what Goldfinger saw at the beginning, and she regretted it a little afterwards, she didn't know if she would give Xie Chengchou a warning after careful consideration. But since she had already done it at that time, she felt at ease when she thought that she might have saved a lot of lives because of this. Just like when he helped Xu Tucai testify, although he later misunderstood her and made her feel disgusting, if time goes back, she won't stop doing what she should do, but just ask for peace of mind. Moreover, when she gave Xie Chengchou a warning, she felt that it was not as bad as she imagined, Changping County is not small, how easy is it for the two to meet in the vast sea of people?

didn't expect it to be so unlucky, she just helped Pei You buy a piece of paper, and she could meet Xie Chengchou! If Pei You hadn't come out when the four of her family went out and didn't let them help buy paper, she wouldn't have come here, and she would definitely not have been able to meet Xie Chengchou, it's all Pei You's fault!

But now it is useless to throw the pot to anyone, Xie Chengchou is in front of him, and looking at his expression, her golden finger probably worked, he successfully escaped the catastrophe, and then remembered her.

"This son, you recognized the wrong person." Jiang Wan looked at him with a completely unfamiliar gaze, in fact, she really couldn't remember his appearance, if it weren't for this dress, his tone and demeanor, she might not have recognized him.

Xie Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and then said politely: "It's rude." In Xia is Xie Chengchou, the son of the magistrate of Changping County, we met in this market a few days ago, when you ...... girl" He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Give it to you...... Warning saved his life. I can't thank you enough! ”

Without waiting for Jiang Wan to answer, he said with a straight face: "Dare to ask the girl's name, where does the family live, and are the parents still alive?" As the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, this life-saving grace must naturally be promised by body! I see that the girl is not married yet, and it is also below! Please let the girl repay her kindness and go to the house to propose! ”

Jiang Wan: "......"

The little guy next to Xie Chengchou saw that his son-in-law was actually begging to marry on the street, and the other party looked like a peasant girl, so he was immediately not good. He hurriedly tugged at Xie Chengchou's sleeve, and persuaded in a low voice with a bitter face: "Young Master, don't be impulsive!" This marriage is a big matter, but the parents have to decide! Let's go back and talk to the master first! Otherwise, if the master knows, he may have to move the family law! ”

"Shut up, it's none of your business here!" Xie Chengchou felt that he had lost face by the little guy, and reprimanded him unhappily.

The little guy flinched and lamented that he had stopped talking.

Xie Chengchou straightened his clothes, looked at Jiang Wan again, and said sincerely: "Girl, I am sincere, my father will not interfere, please rest assured." ”

“…… But I don't know you. Jiang Wan continued to pretend to be stupid with a blank expression. What's going on with this county magistrate, he begged for relatives on the street, and he was still a person who had just met for the second time, even if it was really because of the grace of saving his life, he was not so hasty, right? If she is a saltless woman, could it be that he will also marry her in order to repay the favor? Maybe it will be said that the grass rank will be reciprocated in the next life......

No, what she had to think about now was how to escape...... Now Xie Chengchou said that he was asking for a kiss, I'm afraid it's just to find out her information, right? When he finds out, he will arrest her with a golden finger to study or work for him or something, and think about the future is really dark enough. In short, she didn't believe that he really wanted to marry her.

"Girl, here is the son of the magistrate, Xie Chengchou." Xie Chengchou said it seriously word by word, firstly, hoping that she could remember the conversation between the two at the beginning, and secondly, hoping that she would notice that he was the son of the magistrate.

"Hello, Gongzi Xie." Jiang Wan said, "It's nice to meet you, but I really don't know what you're talking about, it's time for me to go home." ”

Xie Chengchou was stunned for a moment, could it be that he recognized the wrong person? No, with his memory, it is impossible to recognize the wrong person, that is, the girl in front of him, not only has the same appearance, but even the voice is the same.

"Then let's send the girl home!" Xie Chengchou said, he thought, no matter what, let's find out the identity of the other person first.

"I'm not related to my son, so I still don't bother my son." Jiang Wan said, glancing out of the corner of her eye. She is now a little worried that Jiang Gu will suddenly appear, and when the two of them are seen, it will be even more troublesome, and she can't explain to Jiang Gu what she is doing with this son afterwards. However, what is more troublesome is that she can't get out now.

"Don't bother, it's not been peaceful here lately, what if something happens when the girl comes home? Why don't you tell me where your house is, and I can find a carriage to take her back. Xie Chengchou did not give up on getting her identity information from Jiang Wan.

Just when Jiang Wan was worrying about how to escape, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and she heard a man shouting, speaking what seemed to be her hometown, Help or something, I don't know what it meant. Her eyes couldn't help but glance out, only to see a circle of people in front of her, many of whom were pointing and watching the excitement, but what was going on inside, but she didn't know what was going on.

Because of Jiang Wan's shift in gaze, Xie Chengchou also turned his head to look outside.

At the moment when Xie Chengchou shifted his gaze, Jiang Wan suddenly lifted her skirt and strode out of the store!

Xie Chengchou was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him: "Girl, girl!" ”

His little servant also followed closely behind: "Young master, young master, slow down!" ”

Jiang Wan carried the stack of rice paper in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other, and drilled into the crowd like a loach, and quickly got into the center of the circle. When her vision widened, she suddenly found that there were actually two people surrounded in the middle, a man who looked like a butcher was kicking and beating a blonde ...... Huh? Foreigner?!

But Jiang Wan didn't have time to think too much, she was still chasing Xie Chengchou behind her, she hurriedly twisted her body, blended into the crowd again, and finally got out and came to a small vendor who bought an umbrella, and said while taking out five cents and stuffing it over: "I'm sorry, I'm a little dizzy, can you let me squat for a while?" ”

After collecting the money, it was just for people to squat for a while, and the small stall owner naturally had no opinion, and he didn't care about Jiang Wan, so Jiang Wan hid behind an open umbrella.

Xie Chengchou finally squeezed out of the crowd, but when he came out, he found that the girl's figure was gone, he looked around anxiously, and chased forward after a while. His little servant followed closely behind, screaming and drifting away.

Jiang Wan heard the sound of the two drifting apart, so she came out of the hiding place and stroked her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

On the other side, the beaters had stopped and left, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, revealing a blonde man half-lying on the ground and sobbing and accosting.

Jiang Wan looked at this foreigner with some curiosity, she understood that the "Helpu" he said just now turned out to be "help". It's not uncommon to see foreigners in modern times, but this is ancient times, and foreigners are rare after all, so she was really a little curious when she saw this. Moreover, thanks to the riot caused by his beating just now, she was able to get out safely.

She got a little closer and heard the man say in English, "I'm just hungry, I just want a hamburger......

Although I don't know how this foreigner came to the Great Song Dynasty, I know that he is not doing well at all when I see that he is disheveled and his head and face are dirty. She thought for a while, stepped forward and handed out thirty yuan: "Here you go, buy buns." ”

The foreigner understood what the copper money was for, hurriedly took it, gave Jiang Wan a thumbs up, and said in stumbling Chinese: "You are!" Live Guanyin! I, by example, you! ”

Jiang Wan: "......"
