Chapter 45 A Chicken Flies and an Egg is Hidden



The mountain wind blew up the car curtains, and the villagers in Shanghe Village, who were in the fields, saw Meng Yun'er leaning against the young man, and an uproar ensued.

"My goodness! This...this girl in the carriage is Meng's Yun?"

"Didn't Yun girl get together with Feng Zicai? How come she's with such a handsome young man again? And in broad daylight, a man and a woman alone in a car, acting so affectionate, doesn't she know any shame!"

"Yun'er and Feng Zicai are not engaged yet, who knows if they will end up together. Tsk tsk tsk, the outside of this carriage box is wrapped in silk, and the white horse pulling the carriage looks even more majestic than the chestnut horse of the Meng family. No wonder Yun'er likes it."

"The important person in this carriage must be someone of great importance. Let's go take a look. When did the Meng family quietly get in touch with such a distinguished person..."

After saying that, they stopped planting rice seedlings and immediately pulled themselves out of the field to run after the carriage.

Meng Yun'er caught a glimpse of the boy's slightly furrowed brow out of the corner of her eye, and quickly apologized softly.

"Please don't be offended, young master. It's all my fault for not sitting properly. I'll go out now so as not to disturb you... Ah..."

But as soon as he stood up, his legs suddenly went weak.

She then gracefully lay back down.

Qin Yucheng dodged quickly, leaping to sit by the other side of the car window, not forgetting to roll up the window to avoid suspicion.

"Since the young lady has injured her ankle, there is no need for her to move around any further. Let's talk about it when we get to the Su family."

Strangely enough, although Miss Su was rather robust, she was extremely calm and intelligent.

This close friend, however, seemed to have not fully developed.

He can't even walk steadily.

That's really strange!

Because of the excessive force, Meng Yun'er suddenly lost her support and was thrown to the ground.

The carriage was padded with soft fur, so he didn't get hurt from the fall.

But Meng Yun'er felt a sudden pang of grievance for no reason.

She considered herself a million times prettier than Su Hua, so why wouldn't this young master even glance at her?

Because of the horse stepping on the stone, Ah Cai outside slowed down the carriage a little, and the tinkling sound of the jade ornaments on the carriage ceiling became louder, gradually drawing Meng Yun'er's attention back to the present.

She used her hands to support herself on the fur and climbed up.

Through the window of the coffin, she glanced at the villagers following behind the carriage.

Immediately, she bit her lip lightly, "Young master, Yun'er's home and Hua'er's home are on the same route. Could you please take Yun'er home first? After all, Yun'er's foot is injured, and Yun'er needs to tell her parents so they won't worry."

"Okay." Qin Yucheng nodded.

He then took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.

"The young lady's leg injury was caused by my horse being frightened. Here's some money for you to call a doctor."

Meng Yun'er looked up and saw that he had given her five taels of silver in one go, which confirmed that this young man must be someone of extraordinary status.

She shook her head and pushed the silver back, saying, "Young master is Hua'er's friend, so he is also Yun'er's friend. Why should friends talk about money? It's been so long, and I still don't know your name, young master."

Having said that, Qin Yucheng had no choice but to put the silver away.

"My surname is Qin."

“Qin?” Meng Yun’er murmured.

The surname 'Qin' is quite rare, and she seemed to have heard of it somewhere before.

Before she could think it through, the carriage had already approached the Meng family mansion.

Meng Yun'er called for Ah Cai to stop the carriage.

As she was about to step out of the carriage, she smiled and invited Qin Yucheng, "Young Master Qin, why don't you come to my humble abode for a cup of tea and rest before you continue? My sister Hua'er has gone out in an oxcart today, and I'm afraid she won't be back for a while."

"Miss Su is not here today?" Qin Yucheng frowned.

He came specifically to see Su Hua; if he missed her this time, he didn't know when he would be able to come out again.

Seeing this, Meng Yun'er spoke even more gently, "Young Master Qin, why don't we go to Yun'er's house and have some tea first? Yun'er will tell you some funny stories about Hua'er's childhood. Hua'er went there this morning and will probably be back around noon."

She got up very early today, knowing that Su Hua and Su Dahu had driven the oxcart out as soon as it was light.

There was also a bulging basket on the cart, and you could vaguely see some dark wild boar meat on top.

The Su family's snail business has always been in the afternoon.

I'm afraid these two people went to Qingshui County to deliver something to the eldest daughter of the Su family.

Fortunately, by the time Su Hua returned, her relationship with this young master Qin had improved considerably.

"You brat, where have you been all morning? There are so many clothes in the house and you haven't even washed them. Do you expect me to serve you?!"

Mencius' mother came out when she heard the clattering of horse hooves.

Seeing Meng Yun'er standing on the carriage shaft, he immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

He scolded Meng Yun'er until her eyes filled with tears and her eyes turned red.

She bit her lip and glanced at Qin Yucheng. Before Meng's mother could lash out again, she staggered off the carriage. "Mother, this is Young Master Qin! I twisted my ankle, and it was Young Master Qin who brought me back!"

Following the direction Meng Yun'er pointed, Meng's mother looked and saw Qin Yucheng's face, finally realizing that the carriage in front of her was not her own.

And the people on the bus were no ordinary people either!

"Oh my, Young Master Qin has arrived! Quickly, please come inside!" Madam Meng was overjoyed. She half-pulled, half-dragged Qin Yucheng down from the carriage and led him towards the Meng family residence. "Young Master Qin has finally come to Shanghe Village. You must stay for lunch at the Meng family's house today. I'll kill a chicken for you later. Would you prefer it braised or stewed..."

Meng Yun'er smiled slightly. Although her mother had a sharp tongue, it was still somewhat useful.

When the villagers from Shanghe Village arrived at the Meng family's house, they saw Meng's mother familiarly leading the young man into the courtyard.

They were all instantly stunned.

"The Meng family has really prospered these days, to the point of having such an ethereal young master!"

"Yes, we used to think the youngest daughter of the Su family was lucky, but now it seems that this Yun girl is really capable. Even a single hair from such a wealthy family is thicker than our waist. The Su family probably couldn't earn that much even if they sold snails their whole lives!"

"Meng Yongfu was just a minor official before, but now, with the help of this benefactor, his noodle shop will probably rise to a higher level, and in the future, he will be a proper official!"

"It's a pity about Feng Zicai. He was so devoted to Yun'er, but in the end, he lost everything..."

Ah Cai led Xiao Bai a little further away, both of them stunned.

Are these people talking about his young master?

But why can't he understand a single word?
