Chapter 378 Extra (Part 2)

Jiang Wan, who had spent two days in Yongzhou enjoying himself, did not forget to do his business.

She was invited to Yongzhou to attend a young lady's coming-of-age banquet. There was nothing she could do about it. Having the title of county lady had both advantages and disadvantages.

I would include her in many invitations, and sometimes it was hard to refuse them.

Because the wealthy family had many rules, Baozhu and Anan didn't want to go, so they stayed in the inn.

Yin Ning was originally going to go with them, but she got her period when she was about to leave, so she couldn't go.

In the end, Jiang Wan could only bring her maid to the banquet.

"Sister Aning, Baozhu and I are going to Huibailou to buy some things. Do you want to buy anything?"

Yin Ning shook her head. Her cousin had arranged everything for her: food, clothing, housing and transportation. There was really nothing she wanted.

"Then we'll bring you some delicious food~"

After Anan and Baozhu finished talking, they went downstairs together. Yin Ning lay down for a while and felt his back and waist ache, so he got up and sat by the window.

Sitting here and looking at the people downstairs is definitely better than lying in bed and staring at the ceiling.

She poured herself some tea and took out some snacks to chew slowly.

Um??

Yin Ning's eyes froze, and he squinted in surprise and took a closer look. It was indeed Lian Yue.

When did he arrive in Yongzhou?

In recent years, the production of oysters raised by Lianyue has exploded, and in the second year, they sold hundreds of taels of oysters. The whole village was shocked.

In the third year, the sales were even higher. The villagers did not know exactly how much, but just by looking at the boatloads of goods, they knew they were making a lot of money.

The villagers thought that Lian Yue would get married or move to the city to become a landlord after making a lot of money, but he still lived in the same house and never moved.

Yin Ning seldom saw Lian Yue, but every time he saw him, his heart would beat fast.

Because Lian Yue looked at her with such passion that she could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

There were other men in the village who liked her, but every time they met her, they were always timid and didn't even dare to talk to her, let alone look her in the eye.

Usually Yin Ning didn't dare to raise his eyes when he saw Lian Yue.

He seemed somewhat self-abased and shy when he first came to the village, but now he is not afraid of himself at all.

Maybe it's because money makes people brave?

That's not right either.

If you have the courage, why don't you come and propose marriage?

Yin Ning couldn't help blushing when she thought about this. The more she thought about it, the more she was going off the track. Maybe Lian Yue didn't mean that...

She looked downstairs and saw that the person who was a little far away just now was almost reaching the bottom of the guest inn.

etc……

The woman who was walking with him...

Yin Ning was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked away.

Did he come all the way to Yongzhou just to see that woman?

No wonder Xiao Yuanzi has been saying recently that his brother is not home and he thought he went to the city.

Yin Ning took a sip of tea in depression. The fragrant tea now tasted much bitter.

She knew that she was probably jealous, and she also knew that she probably liked Lian Yue a little.

But this love couldn't stop her from pursuing her career. Her modesty as a girl also prevented her from taking the initiative.

If Lian Yue really gets together with someone else, then it's probably just not meant to be.

Yin Ning let out a breath slowly, thinking about whether he should just lie down on the bed.

Just then the door rang.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Lian Yue."

Yin Ning's eyes widened in shock. The person who was downstairs just now actually came upstairs. He came to find him!

"You... forget it, the door is not locked, come in."

She looked at the door, wondering if two people would come in together. But when the door opened, she saw only Lian Yue.

"Where's the girl you were walking with?"

As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Yin Ning wanted to bite his tongue to swallow the words back.

Lian Yue seemed a little surprised, couldn't help but smile, and sat down opposite Yin Ning.

"I just met Baozhu and Anan at a small stall. They told me that you were feeling unwell and were alone in the inn. Then they asked me if I wanted to come over. It was my first time in Yongzhou, so I didn't know where your inn was, so the stall owner's daughter showed me the way."

Yin Ning couldn't help but blush.

So that's how it is. I was feeling so sad just now and I'm really speechless.

"I-Is that so..."

"What else do you think?"

Lian Yue saw Yin Ning's ears were red, so he smiled and stopped teasing her. He took out the small gift he bought.

"I bought these from a stall just now because they looked good. One for Xiao Yuanzi and one for you. He kept pestering me and said he wanted to give you a gift, but he never had anything to give you."

After putting the small box on the table, Lian Yue said again: "This thing will look good with a sash, but unfortunately I don't know how to make one. Can you make two for me?"

Yin Ning pursed her lips and smiled without replying immediately. She opened the box on the table, and the things inside were very familiar to her.

She had a lot of them when she was in Kyoto.

This is a small ball for holding incense balls. The entire hollowed-out part is a test of the craftsmanship of the craftsman.

The small balls in the two boxes on the table are shining brightly, and you can tell at a glance that they are made of gold. Which stall would sell them?

This person doesn't speak honestly at all.

Yin Ning picked up the ball and looked at it in her hand. She liked it very much. Because some of the balls were hollowed out with animals, clouds, or words. But hers was flowers and plants. It looked very artistic.

I'm afraid you can't buy it without twenty or thirty taels.

Why did he suddenly start giving expensive gifts?

Yin Ning was a little nervous. In the past few years, Xiao Yuanzi would come to her house from time to time for extra lessons and would give her all kinds of strange things.

They were all nice-looking and inexpensive things, so she usually accepted them.

Some were given by Xiao Yuanzi herself, and some were mixed in with other people.

She knows everything.

Why are you suddenly giving me something so expensive this time?

Yin Ning looked at Lian Yue with big eyes. Lian Yue almost couldn't hold back. When he was about to confess passionately, he heard the person opposite him say that he agreed.

What?

She agreed?!

Lian Yue felt dizzy and was extremely excited.

That’s not right. I haven’t said anything yet. What is she going to promise?

"You said you agreed?"

Yin Ning nodded and put the ball in his hand back into the box.

"Didn't you say you couldn't knit and asked me to help you knit two strings? I agreed. I'll go buy some string in a minute. It should be ready the day after tomorrow. Ask Xiao Yuanzi to come to my house after school to get it."

Lian Yue: “…”

I was so excited.

But there has been progress.

At least she was willing to accept a gift that I gave her openly.

Hehe~

Lian Yue was very happy and felt that this trip to Yongzhou was not in vain.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, are you here in Yongzhou to do business?"

Lian Yue was choked for a moment and turned his head away feeling guilty.

Of course, he was not here to do business. He received inside information and came to take a look.

Hearing that there were many talented people in Yongzhou, he was afraid that the girl would fall in love with someone else.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky that I met someone as soon as I arrived.

We must reward his little inside player when we get back.

"Ayue!! Where did the candy come from under your pillow?!"

Song Wenhui yelled, took a feather duster and went to the yard to catch people.

The four-year-old little A-Yue ran away.

"Mother, I was wrong!"

The little kid kept running but his mouth was still tight.

He is a loyal man and would never betray Brother Feng even if he were beaten to death!
