Chapter 72
The next morning, when Jiang Yun Zhu woke up, He Ying had already prepared hot water for her.
Jiang Yun Zhu brushed her teeth. He Ying took advantage of this time to tidy up her room. She washed her face and He Ying handed her a towel...
Soon, Jiang Yun Zhu felt that it was nice to have someone to help with the work.
She acquiesced that He Ying stayed by her side.
He Ying regarded Jiang Yun Zhu as her savior and put her whole heart in her every matter .It went without saying she took care of her in every possible way.
At Chabuliang. Jiang Yun Zhu had got someone to frame the words from Magistrate Meng and hung them in the most conspicuous place in the store.
At this moment, she was leaning on the counter, looking at these words.
At this time, He Ying brought her a cup of tea. The tea was neither hot nor cold. The temperature was right.
He Ying was thoughtful. Jiang Yun Zhu had been a maid for several years in her dreams. Of course she knew the difference between doing her best and passive slacking.
At this time, Shen Feng Ming came in from the back. He also stood behind the counter, seemingly enclosing Jiang Yun Zhu inside again.
Jiang Yun Zhu had gotten used to the fact that he liked to stand at the counter in the past two days.
While drinking the tea in her hand, she suddenly thought how Shen Feng Ming must have been served in Shen's manor. When he came to her place, he had to do everything by himself?
Now she had a maid…
"Do you need someone?" She asked him.
She leaned there leisurely, sipping tea. The tea touched her lips, making them moist.
Shen Feng Ming stared at her lips and suddenly wanted to drink tea.
Jiang Yun Zhu seemed to have sensed it and said to He Ying, "Pour another cup of tea."
He Ying quickly poured another cup of tea and brought it to Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming took it, but didn't drink it. Holding the teacup, he leaned against the counter with Jiang Yun Zhu. He understood what Jiang Yun Zhu meant by this question. In fact, he didn't need anyone to serve him. But looking at He Hong...
He Hong was cleaning the table at this moment. After Jiang Yun Zhu bought him and He Ying back yesterday, she bought a new set of clothes for each of them. He Hong's body wais clad in indigo blue. This kind of dark-colored clothes made him appear weaker than he looked. Coupled with his gorgeous appearance, it was easy for people to lower their defenses against him.
However, Shen Feng Ming knew that he had killed someone before.
Yesterday Jiang Yun Zhu brought the two of them back. He Ying was fine. As for He Hong. Based on his intuition, he felt that there was something wrong with him. Immediately, he got someone to check the two siblings.
This morning, the guard reported that these two people were originally the children of a wealthy family in Raoquan County, Changfeng Prefecture. There was a local drought. A few days ago, the refugees rioted, robbed He's house, and killed Master He. The two had no choice but to escape with their mother.
The two of them, including their mother, have never suffered much. It could be said that they have seen all the hardships of the world and suffered countless setbacks on the way from fleeing disaster.
And because of their outstanding looks, when they were about to leave Changfeng Manor, they encountered a group of robbers who wanted to rob both financially and sexually.
In the bedroom, He Hong killed the leader of the robbers, set fire to the robbers' lair, and directly and indirectly killed more than a dozen people.
Those robbers deserved to die, but He Hong's hands were stained with blood... Truthfully Shen Feng Ming didn't want him to stay by Jiang Yun Zhu's side. Now that Jiang Yun Zhu brought it up, he pondered for a while and replied, "Need."
Jiang Yun Zhu was stunned for a moment. She called He Hong over and then asked him, "Are you willing to follow Gentleman Shen?"
He Hong was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at Shen Feng Ming at all. Yesterday he and Shen Feng Ming briefly looked at each other. That feeling made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice abyss until now. It was as if Shen Feng Ming had seen through all of his dirty and despicable past.
Should he follow Shen Feng Ming?
"Miss." At this moment, He Ying came over and said worriedly. This Gentleman Shen seemed much more difficult to get along with than Jiang Yun Zhu. She was afraid that He Hong wouldn't be able to serve him well.
But He Hong suddenly fell to his knees and stated, "I am willing."
To be honest, he didn't want to stay in the store to do these chores. After so many things happening… how should he put it? Although Qishanju's life was very comfortable, he found that he didn't seem to like these. Nor did he want these things.
Shen Feng Ming was different. He was dangerous, making him tremble from the bottom of his heart. Still, he liked it!
"Younger Brother." He Ying was puzzled.
He Hong looked up at her. She was different from him. She should stay by Miss Jiang's side.
"Elder Sister, I'm willing to follow Gentleman Shen." He Hong's voice was very firm, even faintly agitated.
He Ying stared at him for a long time and responded, "Then you take good care of Gentleman Shen."
She had already seen that Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming seem to have a close relationship. Serving Shen Feng Ming well was repaying Jiang Yun Zhu's kindness. He Hong understood, "I would sacrifice my life for repayment!"
Him putting it like that seemed a little too much. As a servant, there was no need to risk his life. He Ying smiled awkwardly, feeling that her younger brother had changed a bit along the way. Sometimes she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
He Hong officially followed Shen Feng Ming. Shen Feng Ming felt that he was quite suitable to be an agent of the Qilin Guard. After that kind of thing happened, he wasn’t devastated nor did he become psycho. He only fell in love with the feeling of being on the tip of a knife. This kind of person was naturally suitable to be a secret agent.
Walking beside the abyss all the time, one would be exposed by others and may never be able to recover at the slight carelessness.
He was going to observe He Hong for a period of time. If he had that kind of quality, he wouldn't mind giving him a chance.
At this moment, Qin Yao and Lin Yu Bai walked in. Seeing Jiang Yun Zhu there, the two walked straight over. After getting along these days, they found that Jiang Yun Zhu was a very good person and became friends with her.
They naturally noticed He Ying and He Hong. Then everyone naturally talked about the disaster refugees outside.
"Is there no disaster relief in Changfeng Manor?" Qin Yao asked.
"Changfeng Manor had been suffering from severe drought for two consecutive years. This has mostly exhausted the people's money. Now the whole manor is full of refugees waiting for relief. Even if the imperial court wants to save them, it would be very difficult!" Lin Yu Bai glanced at Shen Feng Ming quietly and said.
He remembered that last year when the other party went to Changfeng Manor and killed a lot of people.
This year, the officials of Changfeng Manor were doing their best. Still, the disaster was too serious.
"Then what should we do now?" Qin Yao frowned.
"We could only save as much as possible and then let the people fend for themselves. Haven't you noticed that there are many refugees in Lu Prefecture now? It might not be the reason for the imperial court's acquiescence." Lin Yu Bai said.
Qin Yao sighed. These days, she had seen many disaster refugees. Simply too tragic!
Speaking of this matter, Jiang Yun Zhu had been contemplating these past few days. These disaster refugees.. Now was jsut the beginning. Don't know how it will be in the future.
Due to the recent soaring food prices, the number of customers who came to her restaurant had decreased a lot. Everyone seemed to have to tighten their belts to live.
While a few people were chatting, a man wearing brown embroidered brocade and dark embroidered blessing patterns came in from outside. He was followed by a man who looked like a housekeeper.
When the man saw Qin Yao, he strode over.
"Ah Yao!" he called.
Qin Yao turned her head and saw him. Her body froze immediately. She didn't call out until the man was in front of her, "Father."
"Follow me back to Lu Prefecture." Qin Zhen said with a sullen face.
"Father, I..." Of course Qin Yao was reluctant to leave. Xie Chen was going to the capital in eight days. She didn't want to go anywhere in these eight days, so she changed the topic.
"Why did you come in person?" She asked.
"Two days ago, Subprefectural Magistrate He sent someone to propose a marriage. I'll take you home. You've had enough fun outside. It's time to get married."
After Qin Yao heard this, her mind went blank. She felt angry and aggrieved, "Father, I said before that I don't like He Qing. That person is a jerk. He had once, once harassed me. How could I marry him!"
Lin Yu Bai was listening at the side and spoke out, "Uncle Qin, I could testify to this. That He Qing isn't a good person."
"Then who do you want to marry?" Qin Zhen asked.
Qin Yao bit her lips and remained silent.
"You want to marry that poor scholar?" Qin Zhen suddenly shouted, "Don't even think about it. I raised you so much, not for you to stick to a man."
What he said was a little overboard. Qin Yao opened her eyes wide and stared at him in disbelief. Instantly, tears rolled down her face. Then why did he raise her? In order to push her into the fire pit and make the Qin Family richer?
Qin Zhen felt that what he said now was a bit too much. These days, a large number of disaster refugees flooded into Lu Prefecture. As one of the top grain merchants in Lu Prefecture, he endured a lot of pressure. Making money, of course he would. However, he had no one in the court. Making so much money, he was like a piece of delicious fatty meat. Everyone wanted to take a bite.
These days, he had often sent money to various yamen, seeking for safety.
Why didn't Qin Yao understand? Only when she marries He Qing could their family continue to be rich.
"I won't marry. I won't marry even if I die." Qin Yao said suddenly.
Qin Zhen got angry, "It's not up to you."
Then, he winked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper clapped his hands. Immediately, a few servants with big arms and round waists came in. They directed to Qin Yao, "Miss, excuse us."
After saying that, they went to pull Qin Yao.
A little girl like Qin Yao wasn’t their opponent and was quickly restrained.
"Uncle Qin, don't be like this. Let go of Ah Yao. We can talk it out." Lin Yu Bai wanted to save Qin Yao, but he was no match for those strong servants. At this moment, he regretted again that he hadn't practiced martial arts in his early years. Otherwise, he could be like Chief Shen. With a punch and a kick, who would dare to bully Qin Yao.
"This matter is a family matter. Gentleman Lin should leave it alone." Qin Zhen didn't want to offend Lin Yu Bai or the Lin Family. So he gave Lin Yu Bai some face.
"But Ah Yao is my friend." Lin Yu Bai couldn't ignore it.
Qin Zhen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and led Qin Yao out.
"Let go of me! Father, do you want to do this? Alright then, the He Family can only marry my corpse." Qin Yao cried.
Qin Zhen's expression was serious. He paused before waving his hand to let people continue to take Qin Yao out.
Lin Yu Bai latched on Qin Yao, almost dying of anxiety. He thought that this kind of situation would happen, but he didn't expect it to come so soon!
What to do? He actually wanted to say, let Qin Yao marry him. Maybe Qin Zhen would agree, but would Qin Yao agree?
He was in a state of panic when suddenly a clear female voice sounded, "Wait a minute, Boss Qin, are you interested in negotiating a deal?"
Qin Zhen turned his head and saw that it was a beautiful girl who was speaking. A gentleman was standing next to her. The young man just glanced at him casually and he felt great pressure. And this miss standing next to this gentleman, her calmness and composure weren't inferior to this gentleman's in the slightest.
Qin Zhen had been in business for many years and had met countless people. Of course, he had a certain judgment. He stood there and asked, "What kind of business do you want to discuss, Miss?"
Did she know who he was? And dares to discuss business with him.
Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to talk to him only because she knew his identity. It concerned all the disaster refugees. This was a big business, right?
The next morning, when Jiang Yun Zhu woke up, He Ying had already prepared hot water for her.
Jiang Yun Zhu brushed her teeth. He Ying took advantage of this time to tidy up her room. She washed her face and He Ying handed her a towel...
