Chapter 30 Betting
Jiusu stared at him for a few seconds, then sneered.
Qian Junjie rubbed his arms and frowned, "What are you laughing at? It's scary. Hey, where are you going?"
Jiusu was seen walking away quickly and running outside, as if there were some jackals, tigers or leopards behind him. Qian Junjie hurriedly blocked the way in front of him, with his hands open and a puzzled look on his face.
"where did you go?"
"I'll report it to the police."
Qian Junjie was dumbfounded and quickly stopped him. Thinking that he hadn't done anything bad, he stammered excitedly: "What do you mean?"
"I, I mean, you want me to be your concubine? Go and have some fun." Jiusu was speechless. A concubine? She imitated his stuttering and replied.
She couldn't stand serving the same man with other women. It was dirty and disgusting. If that was the case, she would rather not get married.
It’s not like a person can’t support himself if he lives a carefree life.
Qian Junjie sat aside dejectedly, full of anger. He had also been to brothels to play with many women. As soon as he got close, those people would pounce on him, and their eyes were full of disgust like Jiusu.
He asked, "I just can't understand. I, Qian Junjie, am a wealthy and handsome man, but you don't want to live a carefree life as a concubine?"
He remained silent for a long time.
Instead, he said, "Mr. Qian, if you really want to become a better person, it's not something you can do aimlessly. Within seven days, choose one of the three arts of ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, and I will teach you."
"You know all of them?" Qian Junjie asked doubtfully.
Jiusu nodded slightly, "I know a little bit."
Qian Junjie sneered, "I won't mention the first five of these: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. As for the last one, numerology, you're not good at any of them. So stop trying to show off. If you really are good, why don't you go to Boss Qiu and win the shop back?"
He folded his arms across his chest and spoke to himself.
"But don't waste your energy. That shop already has a genius who can answer those three questions correctly. That's the real master in my mind! What does a country girl like you know?"
Jiusu paused, then chuckled. Was he praising her or scolding her?
"Okay, then I'll give you seven days. Go ahead and learn. Then we'll have a competition. If I lose, I'll promise you anything."
"Okay." Qian Junjie said fiercely, "If I lose, from now on you will be my sister and I will be your little brother!"
Qian Junjie went to find the accountant and learned for a while, then got mad and messed up his hair.
"It's damn hard to learn. It tastes worse than pig shit."
When he returned to the mansion, he was caught by Master Qian and scolded, "Where have you been fooling around again? Did you get into a fight?"
"No." Qian Junjie was sulking, so he shook off his father's hand and went back to the house.
Lu He advised, "Master, please don't scold him without knowing the truth in the future. Didn't Miss Jiu say that you should take things step by step and not just criticize him blindly?"
"His hair is a mess, like a bird's nest?" Mr. Qian sighed deeply. "How can I deal with him step by step? When I hated him the most, I really wanted to beat him to death."
at this time.
Jiusu came over with a basket and nodded to the two of them.
"Master Qian, Aunt Lu."
"Miss Jiu is here. By the way, did that brat cause you any trouble just now? His hair and temper are so messy." Master Qian asked politely.
Jiusu thought about it and realized that Qian Junjie was indeed in the yard, grabbing his hair in frustration. It looked like he had an afro... "I made a bet with Master Qian on a magic competition. Maybe he's trying to learn."
A look of surprise appeared on Mr. Qian's face.
"Numerology? Miss Jiu knows it?"
"A little bit." Jiusu didn't reveal that she had answered those three questions correctly. "I'll go check on the lady to see if she's feeling better."
The two men took her to the main courtyard.
Jiusu sat beside the bed and took her pulse. "It's much better now. Madam, you must hold on. When the sun is strong at noon, you can walk around in the yard and bask in the sun."
"Okay." Mrs. Xie smiled weakly.
Jiusu usually feels pity for a sick beauty like this.
She left some vitamin tablets and asked the maid to give them to Madam Xie on time. Then, she followed Master Qian to the front hall.
Mr. Qian asked in surprise, "Are you going to discuss business?"
"Yes." Jiusu said, "I plan to go to Gan County to discuss the wine business, but I don't know if it will be successful."
Master Qian lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Lu He to stay with him. He went to the study, got something, and came back. He handed it over and said.
“Mr. Du from Gan County is a good friend of mine and is also in the wine business.
When you arrive, you can go directly to him and say that I introduced him."
Jiusu took it and thanked him: "Thank you for your trust, Master Qian. I am very grateful. When I return from Gan County, I will make sure you have a good rest."
Mr. Qian said sincerely, "Miss Jiu is the most hardworking and motivated of all the young people I have ever met. Moreover, you are still a woman. Just do your business well. I believe you can do it. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. I have said that you are the benefactor of the Qian family."

The sky was gloomy. Early in the morning, Jiang Jing went to the yard. He looked at the carriage absent-mindedly, his hand unconsciously touching the horse. The prosperity of the past was all in his eyes.
Jiusu came forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Give me the whip." Jiang Jing held out his hand. "I'll drive the carriage. You go in and rest."
Jiusu nodded, put her hand on his, and climbed onto the carriage. Feeling the hard seat, she murmured, "It's too tiring to sit like this. Let me modify it."
Folding up the benches on both sides creates a lot more space.
I took out bedding, pillow, and thin blanket from the system, took off my shoes and socks, lay down, closed my eyes and fell asleep sweetly. It was only 5:30 in the morning, so I could still take a nap.
Behind the wall, the woman watched the carriage go away, then walked out slowly, her tone filled with anger.
"You little bitch, you have so many men around you, yet you still want to compete with me? Don't you think about your status? Are you worthy enough? I swear I won't be a human being if I don't kill you!"
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Jing noticed that there was no movement inside. He called out softly a few times, but there was no response.
“Whoa—”
He stopped, lifted the curtain and looked inside, his pupils trembling slightly. The woman's white feet were exposed outside the blanket, her sleeping face was cute and innocent, and her arms hung comfortably at her sides.
she.
Aren’t you afraid?
She is already married, but she still exposes her feet in front of other men and sleeps so confidently.
He covered her feet considerately, but the woman kicked it away in dissatisfaction and pressed the blanket under her feet. Jiang Jing was worried now. He took a deep breath and didn't care anymore.
Continue driving the carriage.
The shadows of the trees rustled, and Jiusu was awakened by the wind. She lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the man who was driving seriously, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How long have you been going?"
"We've been walking for three hours." Jiang Jing stretched his aching legs and said in a deep voice, "In another stick of incense, we'll reach the shore."
There is a place to send carriages here.
It was like a luggage storage place. Jiusu was worried, so she said, "I'll go store the carriage, and you go find the boatman."
Many boats were booked because people had to take a boat to go somewhere else. At this time, a boatman called out, "Are you two? We only need two people to go to the other side of the river. I'll give you a discount. Leave now."
After paying three cents, Jiusu and Jiang Jing boarded the boat.
Suddenly, it started to rain heavily. All the boats turned back, but their boat kept going forward. Jiusu asked worriedly, "Do we need to go back?"
