Chapter 281 Meeting Qian Kun
After Xue Qing and Wu Yu walked out of the mountains, they saw a farmer's house. They exchanged their silver clothes for the old couple's clothes, dressed up, and finally returned to Longze Town safely.
Xue Qing took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the counter: "Open two rooms, boil some hot water, and stir-fry a few signature dishes and send them up in an hour."
Jiang Yi, who was upstairs, was about to go downstairs when he heard the voice he had been thinking about day and night. He ran down and saw two ragged old men standing by the counter.
When he met the old woman's eyes, he didn't dare to go forward and recognize her.
Xue Qing saw Jiang Yi's urgent eyes and walked forward slowly: "Go up"
Jiang Yi lowered his head to hide his red eyes, turned around and followed him upstairs.
An hour later, Xue Qing and Jiang Yi sat together. Jiang Yi held Xue Qing's hand and said, "Qing'er, I'm so glad you're okay! It's all my fault for not protecting you well."
Jiang Yi looked at her in confusion.
Xue Qing: "It was Wu Yu who saved me, so Wu Yu and I also..."
"Let's talk it out"
Jiang Yi: "What do you mean by speaking out?"
"It means that from now on we are just friends, not an unmarried couple anymore."
After hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but say, "That's great!"
Xue Qing looked at her and said, "So you are so pessimistic about our marriage."
Jiang Yi knew that something was wrong, so he said, "I just think you two are not suitable."
The sound of their conversation reached Wu Yu's ears next door very clearly, and the fingertips that were tightly gripping the water cup had already turned white.
Cheng Niu came to find Jiang Yi, but was very excited when he saw Xue Qing coming back.
I couldn't help but blurt out: "Qing'er, I'm so glad you're okay!"
Xue Qing looked at Cheng Niu in surprise: "Brother Cheng, I'm fine, not hurt at all, thanks to Wu Yu for saving me"
At this time, Wu Yu, who was standing outside the door, finally looked better.
"Wu Yu, come in." Xue Qing motioned Wu Yu who was standing at the door to come in.
Cheng Niu and Jiang Yi looked at Wu Yu who walked in at the same time. At this time, Wu Yu was wearing a dark brocade robe and a belt of the same color.
The ink-black long hair was tied up high.
When Jiang Yi saw Wu Yu at this moment, he suddenly had a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't tell whether it was because he had seen him before or it was just an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Wu Yu, this is Brother Cheng, the guard of the Western Region caravan." They had met before, so this was a formal acquaintance.
"Captain Wu"
"Guardian Cheng"
Jiang Yi looked at the two men greeting each other, but why did he always feel something was weird?
After Xue Qing and Wu Yu discussed it, they decided that Gao Yi should be safe as long as he was not with her, so they decided to take Cheng Niu and Jiu Jiang back to Anyang County.
Go check on the Xia couple first.
Three days later, the four men left Longze Town in disguise.
Cheng Niu acted as the coachman, and Wu Yu acted as the servant and drove the carriage with Cheng Niu.
Xue Qing dressed up as a maid, and Jiang Yi dressed up as a lady.
Before they left Runquan County, they met an acquaintance, Qian Kun, the owner of Youran Ju.
Just as they were about to leave Runquan County, a pair of horse-drawn carriages slowly came towards them.
At this time, Xue Qing and his group were resting here. Jiang Yi was a young lady, and the little maid Xue Qing was cooking lunch on the ground.
Cheng Niu went to pick up some dry firewood nearby, while Wu Yu helped Xue Qing. The two of them worked together very well to cook.
"Brother Cheng, we have enough firewood. Let's take a rest and then have dinner." Xue Qing saw Cheng Niu put down the firewood and was about to collect more firewood.
Cheng Niu replied in a loud voice: "Hey"
Jiang Yi walked over quickly and sat down on the ground.
Xue Qing looked at her with amusement: "Mrs. Jiang, you have to pay attention to your manners."
Jiang Yi burst out laughing: "So I can't be a wife in this life, or..."
Xue Qing took over and said: "Be yourself, be Jiang Yi, don't be anyone's wife, don't be anyone's mother, just be yourself"
Wu Yu listened to Xue Qing's words and seemed to be thinking about something.
Cheng Niu chuckled and said, "How can a woman not get married? Wouldn't she become a nun in the temple?"
While a few people were chatting, a man in gorgeous clothes came towards them.
His eyes were bright and sharp. This man was Qian Kun, the owner of Youranju.
When he saw Xue Qing and the others, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Qian Kun walked up and said with a smile: "Miss Wu, I didn't expect to meet you here"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Qing's eyes: "Mr. Qian, why are you here?"
Qian Kun: "I've always heard that the scenery here is beautiful, and that trade here is very prosperous, so I came here specially to take a look."
Xue Qing: "It seems that Mr. Qian is trying to steal my business!"
Qian Kun clasped his hands together and said, "You and I are business partners, how can there be any talk of stealing business?"
Xue Qing said inwardly: A profiteer.
Wu Yu watched the two chatting and felt a little impatient.
Qian Kun had already seen Wu Yu dressed as a servant. He just glanced at him and continued talking to Xue Qing.
Jiang Yi was very tactful and sat aside without saying a word.
Cheng Niu looked at the man. It turned out that he was the owner of Youranju. His demeanor was indeed extraordinary.
Xue Qing smiled, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "Oh, Mr. Qian is so polite, are you going to treat me to a meal to celebrate our cooperation?" She looked at Qian Kun provocatively, as if testing his reaction.
Qian Kun smiled and shook his head. "How could that be, Miss Wu? I just came to see the scenery here. I heard that you followed the caravan to the Western Regions, so I came to see if there are any new dishes."
Xue Qing smiled without comment. She knew that Qian Kun was no simple person. Although he appeared polite on the surface, he had a sharp business mind in his heart.
"My business has always been smooth, and I haven't encountered any problems." She deliberately emphasized "always been smooth", as if showing her strength to Qian Kun.
Qian Kun smiled slightly, "That's great, I also hope that our cooperation will always be smooth."
"Qing'er, it's time to eat," Wu Yu said with a hint of intimacy in his tone.
"Okay." Xue Qing looked at Qian Kun. His carriage was parked not far away.
"Do you want to eat together?"
Qian Kun showed a gentle smile: "Sorry to bother you then."
At this time, Xue Qing and Qian Kun were sitting at the small table next to them. Jiang Yi very naturally took out the bowls and chopsticks, filled them, and placed them in front of Xue Qing and Qian Kun.
Wu Yu took his bowl and sat down next to Xue Qing. When Cheng Niu came over, he saw a small square table. Xue Qing was sitting at the main seat, and Qian Kun and Wu Yu were sitting on both sides.
He took a look, took the bowl and walked to the horse and started eating.
Lunch was eaten in a very strange atmosphere.
Before getting on the carriage, Xue Qing said goodbye to Qian Kun: "Mr. Qian, we'll see you later!"
But Qian Kun said, "No need to meet again, we can go the same way."
Xue Qing: "Are you going home now?"
"Well, let's go back." Qian Kun turned around and walked towards his carriage.
