Chapter 391 More Beautiful Than a Year Ago
Xiao Jiuyue saw from the opened curtains that there were carriage parts scattered all over the road. There was an overturned carriage next to it, and it seemed that they had collided. Next to the carriage, there were several people being crushed. It seemed that they had been scolded?
"Ask them when they can get through." Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the luxurious carriage opposite. The carriage was obviously more spacious and exquisite, with carvings on it, and it exuded nobility everywhere.
"Hey, when will your new frame arrive?" Hua Qing asked after jumping off the carriage. She looked at the broken pieces of carriage scattered on the ground and kicked them aside.
"Hey, this is top-quality elm wood. Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?" The man started yelling as soon as he saw her action.
Hua Qing raised his foot and glanced at it unhappily: "It's broken like that, can it still be connected?"
"Move your things aside, and we can pass." Hua Qing took the initiative. The man rushed forward and attacked directly. Hua Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed the man's wrist directly and exerted a little force.
"Ah..." The man half-knelt down in pain: "It hurts, it hurts."
"Humph." Hua Qing swung the man away with all his strength and said, "Get out of the way!"
Since talking nicely doesn’t work, then just use force!
"You..." The man covered his hand which was almost broken. This woman was too strong.
The man turned around and said, "Brother Zhang"
"Pa." The man known as Brother Zhang raised his hand and slapped the man. The disgust in his eyes could not be hidden: "You really embarrassed the young master!"
Zhang Ping quietly watched the young master resting impatiently in the carriage. He stepped forward, threw a handful of silver and said, "My young master doesn't like noise and never gives way to others. You guys, just wait."
Zhang Ping's silver coins fell to the ground, and he looked so superior that Hua Qing was stunned. "Is your young master a prince or a member of the royal family? And he never gives way to others?"
Hua Qing always had a sharp tongue when she met such people. Listening to Zhang Ping's words, she sneered: "Such a small amount of silver, and you're sending away a beggar?"
"Miss, I see the mark of the Xue family on the carriage. There is no Xue family in Lancang County, right? Are you from Hongdu?" Hua Qing was cursing happily in the front, while Dong Gui told Xiao Jiuyue what she had observed. Dong Gui also knew roughly about some of the rich and powerful families or officials in Lancang County.
"The Xue family?" What popped up in Xiao Jiuyue's mind was the Xue family she met in Hongdu Mansion last year. Whether it was Xue Lingxiao who came from Shengjing, the arrogant Xue Lingchuan, or the unruly daughter Xue Han, she had a bad impression of them.
"There are twelve guards on the other side. Given the downward pressure of the carriage, there should be only one person sitting in it." Dong Gui said in a low voice. On the other side, Hua Qing had already started fighting with the guards of the other side.
"Miss, how about..."
Dong Gui wanted to call Hua Qing back, but Xiao Jiuyue said, "If they think the road is their own, there's no need to be polite!"
Especially when Zhang Ping slapped the servant boy and threw silver coins at Hua Qing, such insulting things would be incomprehensible to Hua Qing, let alone her.
You can clearly give way, but why don’t you give way?
Hua Qing was right in saying that even the royal family members were not as arrogant as the person in front of him.
"I'll teach you how to behave!" Hua Qing gritted her teeth. She raised her hand and sprinkled the powder, and with her increasingly agile skills, these guards were no match for Hua Qing at all.
"ah……"
“It’s itchy.”
"My eyes hurt so much, I can't see."
The guards were howling, and Zhang Ping looked at Hua Qing in shock. How could this tomboyish woman be so powerful?
"What's the commotion?" a male voice came from the carriage. Zhang Ping opened the curtain and bowed to explain, "Master, the other party insisted that we give way."
Unlike the arrogant attitude he had just shown in front of the servant, Zhang Ping seemed particularly servile and fawning in front of the man in the carriage, with a flattering smile that was completely different from just now.
Xue Lingxiao!
Xiao Jiuyue recognized Xue Lingxiao at a glance. He was the same as last year, with an aloof look. People who didn't know him would think he was of noble status.
Xiao Jiuyue lowered the curtain and listened to Hua Qing looking at Xue Lingxiao. Before she could speak, Xue Lingxiao asked, "Is that Miss Xiao in the carriage?"
Hua Qing paused, retreated to the side of the carriage, and stared at Xue Lingxiao with a wary look on his face.
Dong Gui stared at Xue Lingxiao without saying anything. Xiao Jiuyue in the carriage raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Xue Lingxiao even remembered everyone around her?
"Miss Xiao, we met in Hongdu last year, but I didn't expect to meet here again." Xue Lingxiao walked towards Xiao Jiuyue's carriage and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I just bought a new farm here with a thousand acres of land. It has orchards, fish ponds, and everything else you need. Miss Xiao, would you like to take a look?"
Hua Qing opened his arms and blocked Xue Lingxiao's way, fearing that this blind man would get close to the young lady.
"No need." Xiao Jiuyue's cold rejection voice came.
"No, Miss Xiao will definitely be interested. My fiancée Zhuang Xianxian is also waiting at the manor. You are both girls by then, so it would be nice to chat." Xue Lingxiao looked at the carriage with a smile. He didn't care at all about Hua Qing who was blocking his way. He said, "Miss Xiao, very good, right?"
"No." Xiao Jiuyue refused decisively.
Xue Lingxiao stepped back and winked at Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping said, "My young master sincerely invites you. Miss Xiao, please don't refuse. Otherwise, the guards and I will have to find a way to fulfill the young master's wish."
Zhang Ping raised his hand, and except for the five guards who were knocked to the ground, the remaining seven guards directly surrounded the carriage.
"What do you want to do?" Hua Qing shouted.
Donggui pulled out the sword directly from under the carriage. She looked around and saw that those damn guards had surrounded the carriage.
"Miss." Lianxin grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's clothes tightly, regretting not bringing more people with her.
Xiao Jiuyue patted her hand gently. Xiao Jiuyue's calmness made Lianxin feel a lot more at ease. She lifted the curtain and saw Xue Lingxiao. A flash of disgust flashed across her eyes.
A year ago, Xiao Jiuyue's beauty was deeply imprinted in Xue Lingxiao's heart, so much so that even the maidservant beside her remembered her. When she accidentally heard that Xiao Jiuyue was in Lancang County, Xue Lingxiao went directly to Lancang County and purchased a farm and a thousand acres of fertile land.
Many people in Hongdu knew about the bumper harvest in Lancang County. Anyone with some power began to buy houses and fertile land in Lancang County.
"If Miss Xiao were to attend the Lotus Picking Banquet, she would definitely win first place!" Xue Lingxiao's eyes flashed with amazement. Xiao Jiuyue was three times more beautiful than he had imagined!
