WLAEF 27ii




After the door was closed, Yang Sheng turned to Shen Feng Ming, "What should we do?"

Searching the mountain? That Wang Bin can really stir a fuss.

It wasn't that Wang Bin can stir a fuss. He was really afraid of Shen Feng Ming.

"The more he is like this, the more we can’t reveal ourselves. Let him mess up." Shen Feng Ming responded.

"I think so too." Yang Sheng replied, "Then what are we doing now?"

"Leave here first." To avoid implicating Jiang Family.

"Leave here?" Yang Sheng frowned. He didn't want to leave at all.

"Feng Ming." He looked at Shen Feng Ming, wanting to say a lot to him.

Shen Feng Ming looked at him, his gaze was still cold.

Yang Sheng let out a sigh. He didn't want to say anything. Forget it, let's leave first. It was better to finish this matter quickly. He can come back when the time comes.

Jiang Yun Zhu made two bowls of noodles for Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming today. The soup was set aside from the pot of bone soup in the morning. The dough was perfectly kneaded, rolled into sheets, cut into strips of uniform thickness, and boiled in the soup pot.

Then some fresh and tender green vegetables were added. Once out of the pan, it was sprinkled with chopped green onion and a few drops of sesame oil. This bowl of noodles had endless flavors.

Yang Sheng gulped down the noodles. The noodles were firm and the soup was mellow. He was really reluctant to leave.

Shen Feng Ming didn't gobble up like him, nor did he eat slowly either.

At this time, Mrs. Chen had made Jiang Family's breakfast. The family sat around together. Although they ate coarse cakes and miscellaneous grains, the whole family smiled when talking about how much money they made at the market today.

After the meal, Mrs. Chen cleaned up the dishes, while Jiang Yun Zhu was about to go to the town to buy vegetables. At this time, Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming came out of the side room, carrying bundles in their hands.

"Two merchants?" Mrs. Chen was surprised.

"We’re going to other villages to see the situation. When our guys come, we can collect grain together." Yang Sheng continued his lie about harvesting grain. It sounded quite reasonable.

Mrs. Chen nodded. It should be like this, "Then are you coming back?"

"We will. I paid a deposit for the grain in the village. I haven't collected them. When everything is settled, I will naturally come back to collect it." Yang Sheng jollily replied.

That's right.

"Then be careful on the road. If you don't have a place to stay when you come back, you can stay at my house." Mrs. Chen said politely.

"Okay." That was exactly whatYang Sheng thought.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn’t treat himself as a stranger.

Jiang Yun Zhu raised her eyebrows. Come back? What were they coming back for? Did he really want to collect a few carts of grain to return to the capital? Was Qilin Guards so meticulous in their work?

Then she remembered one thing and hurried back to the room. She took out something and handed it to Yang Sheng, "You are leaving now. I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future, so I'd better return this money to you."

It was Yang Sheng who gave her the five liang silver earlier. He said that it was food. Calculating everything, the meals and accommodation only cost about three hundred wen. How could she keep their five liang silver.

As for change, Jiang Family's entire net worth wasn't enough to give four liang and seven coin

"There will be a chance to meet again. At that time, continue to cook for us." Yang Sheng refused to accept the money.

"Then give it to me then." Jiang Yun Zhu directly put the money into his hand.

"No..." Holding the money, Yang Sheng hesitated. Why did he feel like she didn't want them to come back? Must be his illusion!

Also, "We've already eaten so much of your food."

"This gentleman had taught us how to read and write. Let's call it even." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

The two of them kept on arguing. Mrs. Chen spoke, "Stop arguing. Let's just leave it at this. If the two gentlemen come back later, we'll settle the money."

Yang Sheng found the words ‘come back’ pleasant to hear. Since it was like this, he will take the money back.

With Jiang Yun Zhu's personality, she can also be stubborn.

Yang Cheng and Shen Feng Ming rode away on their horses. Mrs. Chen stood there, letting out a sigh of relief. These two gentlemen were too good. She was really afraid that Jiang Yun Zhu girl would be ignorant and fall in love with them. Their background wasn’t a match, so it wasn’t good.

But Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't relax at all. She still had to think about how to lure the villagers to the county on the day of winter start.

She and Mrs. Chen went to town to buy things for today.

When they came back, a large group of soldiers entered the village to search. Jiang's family had a household registration in Wuling County, so they weren’t afraid of the checks. The soldiers searched around, but found nothing. So they went to someone else's house.

At noon, Jiang Yun Zhu cooked and delivered meals as usual. But this account...

In the afternoon, when it was time to learn characters, Jiang Lin sat there feeling a little regretful. Jiang Yun Xue frowned. She liked learning characters the most. Jiang Wu ran around cheerfully. He was very happy when he didn't need to learn characters.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked at the brushes and papers on the table, thinking that when she had money, she still had to get the few children educated. She doesn't ask them to get a ranking on the gold list, but at least be able to understand.

As for the accounts, she was a little irked. It was really impossible to do takeout without keeping accounts. But Shen Feng Ming only taught numbers and the first few chapters of the hundred family surnames. She couldn't write at all. It was fine for her to secretly jot it down, but how can she explain it to Mrs. Chen?

Request Gu Yan Zhou? As long as he teaches her casually for a few days, she had reason to say that she had learned it.

Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming have already left. Her contact with him shouldn’t affect anything.

Just don't know if he was busy studying now. She didn't want to delay his imperial examination.

Just as her mind was wildly wandering, someone outside asked, "Auntie Chen, Yun Zhu, are you at home?"

Jiang Yun Zhu stood up and looked out. It was Xu Qing Shan. And Gu Yan Zhou was standing next to him.

Gu Yan Zhou noticed her gaze, and nodded toward her. Like the snow in March, he was clean and pure.

"Qing Shan and Yan Zhou has come. Come in and sit down." Mrs. Chen greeted them with a smile and ushered them into the room.

When the two entered the room, Xu Qing Shan looked into the yard, "Where are the two merchants?" He asked.

"Gone. They’re occupied with business." Mrs. Chen replied.

Xu Qing Shan was stunned for a moment. Gone? Left so quickly and easily? He thought they were going to trick Jiang Yun Zhu. Who would have thought... Maybe he was wrong and accused a good person!

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.

"You guys are?" Mrs. Chen asked Xu Qing Shan.

Xu Qing Shan remembered his reason for coming. Since Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming had left, it was perfect. He asked Jiang Yun Zhu, "Do you still want to study? If you want to, you can let Yan Zhou teach you."

In this way, Gu Yan Zhou can get in touch with Jiang Yun Zhu more. Maybe it will turn into a good thing.

As for him, he had already let it go.

Jiang Yun Zhu was hesitating whether to ask Gu Yan Zhou or not, "I'm afraid it will delay your studies. You will have a big exam next year." She said to Gu Yan Zhou.

Gu Yan Zhou smiled, "Didn't I say yesterday that I can revise the past and refresh the knowledge. What’s more, I'm very tired from studying all day long. I can relax by teaching you."

Jiang Yun Zhu pondered about it. In fact, she didn't need to learn for a long time. She only needed to pretend for a few days.

"Really?" she asked.

Gu Yan Zhou nodded affirmatively. In fact, he had already learned everything he could learn. Now he was just reviewing old books in the academy or at home. Teaching a few people how to read wasn't a matter at all.

"Then I will trouble you. I really don't know how to thank you." Jiang Yun Zhu responded.

Gu Yan Zhou coughed, "Father and Mother like your cooking very much. If it’s convenient for you..." He didn't mention buying.

It can be said that Gu Yong De and his wife were reminiscing since they ate that meal at Jiang's house last and often mentioned it at home.

Gu Yan Zhou heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

Of course, he too liked Jiang Yun Zhu's cooking.

Jiang Yun Zhu smiled. This wasn't a problem. Treat it as repayment. In this way, she felt at ease.

Listening at the side, Mrs. Chen couldn't catch on. Xu Qing Shan liked Yun Zhu. What was he doing now? Putting Gu Yan Zhou and Jiang Yun Zhu together. Gu Yan Zhou was indeed very good, but would Gu Family agree to him marrying Yun Zhu?

Things changed too fast...

Push together? Gu Yan Zhou was indeed very good, but will the Gu family agree with him marrying Yun Zhu?

Things changed too fast...

Gu Yan Zhou put his words to action. Now that he was free, he started teaching Jiang Yun Zhu and the others.

It was still the same square table, but the people sitting there were different this time.

Gu Yan Zhou's voice was like spring water. And he was very patient when teaching people. If Shen Feng Ming was a strict teacher, he was unintentionally a good friend.

On the mountain not far away. Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming didn't go far at all. Looking down from a height, they happened to be able to see a small square table. Gu Yan Zhou taught with care. Jiang Yun Zhu studied hard. Two person, one of them looked like a bright moon, while one was like a bright pearl. If one looked at it from one angle, it was like a beautiful picture scroll.

Irked, Yang Sheng rode his horse around twice. He really wanted to go back immediately. Off with those whatever mine, whatever Sixth Prince, or whatever order!

However, he couldn't deny that Gu Yan Zhou was really outstanding. According to his previous thinking, it wouldn't be a pity if Jiang Yun Zhu married him.
