Chapter 131: Waste of Talent
After a brief hesitation, Zhou Yunshu walked in with Chunque and Zhanchuan.
Not to mention that Kang Jingyu is severely myopic, even if he is not, with her current dress and makeup, even Ji Sheng might not recognize her if she stood in front of him, let alone Kang Jingyu.
I don’t know how Kang Jingyu had the courage to say to He Nian Zhang, “Chasing his brother’s wife.”
Another reason why Zhou Yunshu came in was that she didn't know whether Jiang Rusi had told He Nian Zhang about her meeting.
If I tell them, running away at this time may make people more suspicious than facing them.
Thanks to Zhan Chuan, they were seen by He Nian Zhang and Jiang Rushi as soon as they entered Zuixianlou.
Jiang Rusi looked at Zhou Yunshu and the other two who had arrived, and said to the man in front of her who always treated her rudely, "Brother-in-law, my guests are here."
He Nian Zhang nodded, and his eyes inevitably fell on Zhan Chuan behind Zhou Yunshu.
There's no way around it. His height and build are quite conspicuous in this place in the river, so the term "bear standing out among chickens" is just the right word.
Especially when the two looked at each other, He Nian Zhang felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast in the mountains. He frowned slightly, and when he looked at Zhou Yunshu again, he felt a little curious about her identity.
At this time, Zhou Yunshu also came to the stairs. She looked at He Nianzhang and the other two who were blocking the middle of the stairs and said, "Please make way."
He Nianzhang and Kang Jingyu took a step back. Jiang Rusi smiled at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Madam Wu."
She glanced at He Nianzhang beside her and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is the eldest son of the He family, He Nianzhang."
He Nian Zhang nodded to the woman wearing a veil, and Zhou Yunshu responded politely.
"The person next to him is Master Kang."
Zhou Yunshu glanced at Kang Jingyu, who always had a smile on his face no matter who he was talking to, and suddenly remembered that several young ladies from official families in Beijing had been vying for Kang Jingyu's favor. They all said that they were in love with Kang Jingyu and all they had to do was propose marriage to him.
Later, when the matter became a big deal, it was discovered that Kang Jingyu didn't even know who they were. He just looked at the figure and habitually gave his standard smile.
What followed was that Kang Jingyu was put in a sack and beaten in the capital. From that time on, he basically had to rely on servants.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Rusi continued to introduce to He Nianzhang: "This is Miss Wu, who saved Zizhen and me from the pirates on the passenger ship."
He Nian Zhang nodded. Although he couldn't see Zhou Yunshu's face, he inexplicably felt that there must be a peerless beauty under the veil.
Kang Jingyu looked at Zhou Yunshu curiously. After staring at her for a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "Madam, have we met somewhere before?"
Chunque looked at Kang Jingyu and saw his brows furrowed, feeling a little panicked.
Could it be that he recognized his master?
Zhou Yunshu raised her head slightly, and the veil slowly rose with her movement.
"Sir, I'm married and have children. More than one."
Kang Jingyu: “…”
Doesn't he look like a playboy who would use such a lame excuse to pick up a girl!
He really just felt that the woman in front of him looked a little familiar!
"May I know the name of your husband?"
"No need to worry about your surname being Wu."
"Really? I..."
"Ahem!" He Nian Zhang glanced at Kang Jingyu, hoping he would stop.
This was the eighteenth woman Kang Jingyu had questioned since arriving in Jiangzhong.
Although Kang Jingyu said that he wanted to pursue a wife for his brother, he couldn't see the person clearly and couldn't remember the person's voice. It would take him a long time to recognize the person just by saying "you look familiar".
He Nian Zhang was afraid that Kang Jingyu had not been found yet, so he "tease" all the girls of marriageable age in the river first.
Kang Jingyu was really wronged. He really felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember what was familiar about her.
He turned his head to glance at the servant who had been following him, and the servant shook his head at him.
Sometimes the servant beside him would act as his eyes.
But Kang Jingyu still felt familiar, and he said without giving up: "I wonder if I can see my wife's beautiful face."
Before Kang Jingyu could finish his words, Zhan Chuan, who had been standing behind Zhou Yunshu, suddenly jumped up and stretched out his hand to strangle him by the neck.
"How dare you, a scoundrel, insult my lady!"
Kang Jingyu was forced to take a step back by Zhan Chuan's violent aura. His servant stepped forward to protect him behind him, and his arm was against Zhan Chuan's hand.
As soon as the two men collided, the servant was knocked back two steps by Zhan Chuan. He Nian Zhang was about to stop him when he heard a soft voice speaking in front of him.
"Zhanchuan, come back."
Zhan Chuan looked at the men opposite him fiercely. Although he was a little reluctant, he still came behind Zhou Yunshu.
"Misunderstanding." He Nian Zhang was also shocked by Zhan Chuan's actions just now.
He Nian Zhang, the servant who had always been with Kang Jingyu, knew about this. This was a gift that the Kang family had specially brought with them to Kang Jingyu because he had good martial arts skills and could protect Kang Jingyu at critical moments.
But even so, he was still defeated by Zhanchuan.
He Nian Zhang looked at Zhan Chuan, who was standing behind Zhou Yunshu with a stern face, and was somewhat curious about the origins of Zhou Yunshu and the others.
Anyone who can make such a person willingly serve as a slave is definitely not an unknown person.
"Brother Kang was just eager to find someone, so he accidentally offended Madam Wu. I apologize to you on Brother Kang's behalf."
Kang Jingyu, clutching his chest, calmed down a bit. He also looked at Zhan Chuan, who was standing behind Zhou Yunshu, but he didn't look angry after being offended. Instead, he looked at him with interest and said, "You have good skills. Have you ever thought about joining the army?"
"If you want, I can redeem you from this Lady Wu and send you to the northern border to serve under the King of Wei. Don't worry, with me here, you definitely won't start as a soldier!"
He Niazhang: "..."
This reminded him of the first time they met, when Kang Jingyu wanted him to work as an accountant for the King of Wei.
After all these years, why is he still so keen on poaching people for the King of Wei?
Zhou Yunshu: “…”
Is he starting to undermine his own girlfriend right in front of him?
Let Ji Sheng dig it!
Zhou Yunshu lifted the veil on her head and looked at Kang Jingyu opposite her with a pretty and cold face.
When Zhou Yunshu lifted the veil, Kang Jingyu took half a step forward and narrowed his eyes to see Zhou Yunshu's face clearly.
Not her.
"Isn't it too natural for Master Kang to poach people?"
Kang Jingyu said, "I think it's a bit of a waste of talent for him, a man of great stature and integrity, to follow a woman."
"Oh!"
He Nian Zhang turned his head helplessly, and Zhou Yunshu was so angry that she laughed out loud.
"A waste of talent? If that's what Master Kang said, why don't you go to the front lines and serve? Even though you have no special talents, you can still be cannon fodder for the soldiers on the front lines."
"It's better than being a scoundrel all day long and just taking pleasure in teasing decent women."
