Chapter 69 The Fairy Who Spreads Wealth
Xiao Jiuyue directly handed him five taels of silver and said, "Pay five taels first. Once you have delivered the letter safely and received the reply, I will give you the remaining five taels."
"Thank you, young lady. Then, when should I leave?" Chu Ang took the five taels of silver and thought that with the remaining five taels of silver, he could get married when he came back this time!
"I'll give you the letter tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and said, "You can leave anytime."
"Then I will set off tomorrow." Chu Ang said excitedly. He could earn two taels of silver a month in the escort agency, but he also had to endure Qian Xin's bullying. Qian Xin relied on the fact that he was the godson of the head coach and made trouble for him everywhere!
After getting Xiao Jiuyue's approval, Chu Ang immediately ran outside and pulled Qu Qingshu aside, saying, "Qingshu, how do you know such a beautiful girl?"
"I don't recognize him." Qu Qingchu thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember that he knew Xiao Jiuyue.
"Don't lie to me. If you really don't recognize me, why would you ask me to deliver the letter?" Chu Ang took the silver and bit it into his mouth, grinning and said, "The silver is real. So, hurry up and buy medicine for Auntie."
"I have it." Qu Qingshu took out the twenty taels of silver in his hand and said, "She lent it to me."
"Wow!" Chu Ang stuffed the five taels of silver into his arms like a treasure. Looking at Qu Qingshu's handsome face, he said, "Could it be, like in the storybooks, that a rich young lady has taken a fancy to a poor scholar? She has good taste! Qingshu, you will definitely pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future."
"Chu Ang!" Qu Qingshu covered his mouth with his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Don't talk nonsense and ruin other people's reputation. Do you want to die?"
"Hehe." Chu Ang closed his mouth and said happily: "Don't say it, don't say it, I said this girl is a money-giving boy!"
"The boy who gives away money is a boy." Qu Qingshu reminded.
Chu Ang said: "That's the Money-Giving Girl, no, no, no, the Money-Giving Fairy!" He had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Lianxin stayed beside Xiao Jiuyue, feeling confused. She had already added one hundred taels of silver and asked the people from Shunan Escort Agency to deliver the letter, supplies and silver, so why did she have to ask Chu Ang to go again?
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Xiao Jiuyue looked into the distance and her gaze fell on Chu Ang who entered the pharmacy with Qu Qingshu. Her eyes flashed slightly, hoping that he would not let her down.
Teahouse.
"Master, your cousin is too much. She threw you into the teahouse, and now it's been two hours. It's almost noon, and you still haven't shown up." Shang Ming spoke up for his young master. He had refilled the tea three times, but his cousin still hadn't shown up.
"Maybe my cousin has something important to tell me." Qi Yunsheng interrupted him and said, "Just listen to the book."
Shang Ming curled his lips and didn't dare to say anything more. He looked at the storyteller on the stage. He had just heard this twice.
Jin Wen was standing at the entrance of the teahouse. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue's carriage approaching, he immediately said, "Young Master, the eldest lady is back."
Qi Yunsheng stood up and just as he reached the door, Xiao Jiuyue said apologetically, "Cousin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. To apologize, I'll treat you to a meal at the best restaurant in Lancang County. I guarantee you'll like their dishes."
"Okay." Qi Yunsheng got on the carriage and asked, "Is my cousin's matter settled? Do you need my help?"
"No, no, I just thought that my aunt is coming back, so I have to prepare some food to entertain her." Xiao Jiuyue replied with a smile, and they soon arrived at Fengchun Tower.
Shang Ming looked at the restaurant. It didn't seem as grand as the one in Yizhou, but it had a lot of customers.
"Miss Xiao!" The waiter was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Xiao Jiuyue.
"Is there a private room?" Xiao Jiuyue interrupted the waiter.
The waiter glanced at the young man next to him and said, "Yes, Miss Xiao, please go upstairs."
"Please come in, cousin." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Qi Yunsheng standing beside her.
Qi Yunsheng started walking upstairs. After taking a few steps, the person in front of him lost her balance and almost fell down. Qi Yunsheng used his arm to help her stand, then immediately took it back and reminded her, "Be careful."
"Thank you." The woman turned around and thanked him politely. When she saw Qi Yunsheng, her eyes lit up, then drooped again. She turned around and left quickly with her maid.
"Baocui, go and ask who this belongs to." The woman entered the box and through the open door saw Qi Yunsheng's graceful figure flash by.
"Yes." Baocui responded.
"Cousin, what are your dietary restrictions?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Qi Yunsheng replied: "Except for the coriander, everything else is fine."
Xiao Jiuyue ordered a meal straight away, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a small cold dish for dessert. She smiled and jokingly said, "Cousin, are you engaged in Yizhou? From what I saw just now, I'm afraid that girl is secretly in love with you."
"We're not engaged." Qi Yunsheng's ears turned red, and he said with a stern face, "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. If I hadn't helped her just now, she would have fallen down the stairs."
"My cousin is right." Xiao Jiuyue admitted her mistake and said, "My cousin is very elegant. If you get engaged in the future, I will definitely give him a generous gift."
"..." Qi Yunsheng's eyes flickered. Did she really not know what her mother meant? Or was she doing it on purpose?
"Cousin, are you all doing well in Yizhou? Has the incident at the Xiao family affected you?" Xiao Jiuyue's voice rang out again, and Qi Yunsheng snapped back to his thoughts. "Everything is fine."
Isn’t this too simple?
Xiao Jiuyue started chatting about family matters, such as how many children his cousin Yun Xiao had, and what he was busy with now.
After the meal, Xiao Jiuyue roughly understood the attitude of the Qi family. Except for her aunt and two cousins, her uncle's family didn't want to be close to the Xiao family, for fear of being implicated by the Xiao family.
Xiao Ying fell seriously ill because of something that happened in the Xiao family. In addition, there were many complicated affairs at home, so it was not until the end of the year that she traveled to Hongdu to see her grandmother.
"Cousin, can't you handle spicy food?" Xiao Jiuyue saw Qi Yunsheng's face flushed red from the spiciness, with a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead. She said, "People in Hongdu love spicy food. Next time, use less chili. Cousin, you can try this."
The boiled cabbage soup looked bland, but after Qi Yunsheng took a sip, he couldn't help but praise, "Hongdu actually has such a delicious dish!"
When it was time to pay, the waiter said enthusiastically, "Miss Xiao, the shopkeeper said that he thanks you for your care in the past. This meal today is yours."
"Well, thank you very much for your kindness, Manager Zeng." Xiao Jiuyue did not force anyone to pay. Seeing that the restaurant was full, it was all her credit, and she felt at ease.
"I helped the shopkeeper with a small favor before, but I never thought he would be so polite." Xiao Jiuyue looked back and explained.
Qi Yunsheng took out a silver ingot and threw it to the waiter, saying, "Today's meal is on me."
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
The waiter held the silver, and for a moment he didn't know whether to accept it or not.
"Miss, they are cousins. It seems that they are not locals." Bao Cui's words obviously did not satisfy the woman. She threw the teacup in her hand directly at him: "Useless thing!"
