Chapter 116: Bamboo Leaf Green
Everyone looked and saw a handsome man in a bamboo green robe walking slowly towards them with a scripture in his hand.
Many girls glanced at him secretly and talked quietly, but he seemed not to hear them.
"My name is Zhuyeqing. May I ask your name, young lady?"
Zhuyeqing bowed his hands neither humbly nor arrogantly and saluted Shen Jinan.
This person is the owner of Qingzhuzhai, also known as Zhuyeqing. He is in charge of the largest study business in the town, and many powerful scholars have to give Zhuyeqing face.
"So you are the owner of Qingzhuzhai. I want to ask you, why do your servants dare to speak so arrogantly?!"
Shen Jinan didn't care about Bamboo Leaf Green or Maple Leaf Red. She came here to buy things, not to be bullied.
It was obvious from her appearance and aura that she was not an ordinary woman. A hint of curiosity flashed across Zhuyeqing's narrow and long phoenix eyes.
"It's true that I failed to discipline her well." Zhuyeqing bowed again, an apologetic look on his face. "How about this, I just heard that the young lady wanted wolf-hair brushes. Would you mind giving me a few?"
His eyes moved across Shen Jinan's beautiful little face, but he had no intention of offending her. When Shen Jinan heard that it didn't cost any money, a smile flashed across her lips.
"Then I will gladly accept it."
She raised her chin slightly, and her arrogance almost stunned Zhuyeqing.
Gu Yanqing saw what the boy was thinking, stepped forward and hugged Shen Jinan's slender waist, "Then I will thank the boss on behalf of my wife."
Zhuyeqing looked at Gu Yanqing's vigilant expression and secretly sighed that this person had an extraordinary aura and identity, but he still did not show it on his face.
"Qizi, go get this girl the red sandalwood wolf hair brush that Master Cao sent a few days ago."
Zhuyeqing put away the folding fan in his hand and gave instructions to the guy named Qizi.
"But……"
The chess piece was obviously dissatisfied. He felt that the owner should keep this good thing for himself, and why let the bumpkin ruin it.
"Why, now my words are useless?"
Zhuyeqing sneered, and his friendly look disappeared. Qizi hurried to the warehouse and took out a few exquisite boxes.
"Miss, this is a wolf-hair brush. I'm so sorry."
Shen Jinan naturally saw the clerk's contemptuous look, glanced at the wolf-hair brush handed to him, and waved his hand.
"I will give him the money, but I want him to apologize to us."
Her voice was firm and her face was serious. Gu Yanqing was happy to see her like this.
Look, my wife is very powerful and she never gives others a good face.
Gu Yanqing became happier and happier as he watched, and his arms around Shen Jinan couldn't help but tighten a little.
Shen Jinan thought Gu Yanqing was nervous, so she reached out and patted Gu Yanqing gently, "Don't be afraid, my husband. I will seek justice for us right away!"
Hearing this, Gu Yanqing's heart softened again, "Okay, let's just let my wife decide."
Zhuyeqing felt uncomfortable seeing the sweet look on their faces. Although he had to admit that Gu Yanqing's complexion was indeed better than his, Zhuyeqing was good at coaxing people with his clever mouth.
He didn't believe that Shen Jinan could escape his sugar-coated bullet.
"Qizi, apologize to the guest family."
Zhuyeqing spoke to the chess piece in a cold voice, with a frightening coldness in his phoenix eyes.
"I'm sorry, I was blind and disturbed your pleasure. I deserve a beating, I deserve a beating!"
The guy lowered his head, looking as if he was sincerely admitting his mistake.
After hearing what he wanted to hear, Shen Jinan didn't pursue the matter any further. He took the wolf-hair brush and put it into Sui Sui's hand.
"Never mind, nothing to do now, we can just go for a walk on our own."
After asking about the price, she took out some silver and gave it to Zhuyeqing, then waved at him, indicating that he could leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhuyeqing came forward and introduced the ink and paper in the store to Shen Jinan attentively.
"What's your name, girl?"
Zhuyeqing pressed the question, and Shen Jinan just wanted to get rid of him quickly.
"Shen."
She answered coldly, but the smile on Zhuyeqing's face did not fade away.
Gu Yanqing's face was so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out. He stared at the Bamboo Leaf Green Ghost, as if he wanted to hollow it out.
Zhuyeqing felt the coldness behind her, so she didn't dare to approach Shen Jinan too presumptuously, but that handsome face was still swaying in front of her.
"I want this to buy a good inkstone for my husband, as well as ink and rice paper. I want the best."
Shen Jinan waved his hand generously and bought a lot of things for Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing's ears turned red, and he quietly held Shen Jinan's little hand.
"My wife is so good to me."
He stuck to her back like a big furry dog, his magnetic voice was so low that Shen Jinan's heart skipped a beat.
"If I don't treat you well, who will treat you well?"
Shen Jinan said seriously, but her rosy cheeks betrayed her emotions.
Gu Yanqing chuckled softly, then considerately took the things from her hand, not wanting her to suffer any more.
Seeing how affectionate they were, Zhuyeqing couldn't stay even if he was thick-skinned, so he found a random excuse to leave, and Shen Jinan didn't care.
After coming out of Qingzhuzhai, Sui Sui Huanhuan felt hungry, so Shen Jinan took his family to Honglangfang for dinner.
Originally, she didn't want to always eat at Hongniangzi's restaurant, but every restaurant in this town was run by Hongniangzi.
“Miss Shen brought her family to dinner today!”
The accountant of the restaurant was already familiar with Shen Jinan. He called the waiter, and the waiter took Shen Jinan and his group to the private room on the second floor.
Gu Yanqing followed behind Shen Jinan, jokingly saying, "Now I finally understand what it means to live off someone who's my wife. Thanks to my wife's help, I can still show off my dignity."
Shen Jinan heard his teasing and glared at him with her beautiful eyes. "When I was in the capital, I always got your invitation wherever I went. Now that you're following me and taking advantage of me, it's just a draw."
Then Shen Jinan ordered five dishes according to the four people's preferences. Sui Sui Huanhuan leaned on the window of the private room, watching the people coming and going downstairs with great curiosity.
"Mother, what are they doing?"
Sui Sui suddenly spoke, his face looking somewhat serious.
Seeing him like this, Shen Jinan also came over and saw that a group of people were ferociously demanding protection money from the old lady selling wontons.
"Old woman, you said last time that you would give it two days, why haven't you paid the money today?!"
The man in the lead was none other than Cao Xingzhu's trusted ruffian Cai, who specialized in doing some shameful things for Cao Xingzhu.
The old lady knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "My dear uncles, I am really penniless. Why don't I give you a few bowls of wontons to warm you up..."
"Bah! You have no money and yet you dare to set up a stall on the street? Brothers, smash it!"
Cai the ruffian had a fierce look on his face, and the few minions around him started to cause trouble after receiving the order.
Shen Jinan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stood up and was about to solve the problem, but was held down by Gu Yanqing.
"You might hurt yourself if you go, so I'll go."
