Chapter 485: It was a great performance
Without waiting for her to ask in detail, the young boy just said "Ouch!" and ran away in a hurry.
The back view looks like a wild bird in the mountains.
Bei Jingchu: “…”
The painting style of your Zhaixinglou is so weird...
She wondered how powerful the handsome charlatan was, so she picked up a copper coin and put it on her wrist.
Luck is important.
Jiazhou is not far from the capital, and we arrived there soon by riding at full speed.
The person who came to pick them up was a big and strong woman.
The woman was very enthusiastic and immediately explained, "My father is not feeling well today, so I am here to welcome you. I hope you two don't mind. May I ask your name?"
Before coming here, I knew that the family that sells grains was named Nian. Bei Jingchu nodded and said, "Ms. Nian, you are too polite. My surname is Lei, and my given name is Yang."
She pointed at Jiang Longshou and introduced him, "This is my husband."
The woman knew at a glance that this woman was the leader of this team. After nodding to him, she started chatting with Bei Jingchu.
"Everyone else was surprised by my figure when they saw me for the first time, but Miss Lei acted as if it was nothing special."
Bei Jingchu said calmly: "What's the big deal?"
"In more affluent places, there are many strong and sturdy men on the road, and no one is surprised to see them."
"Didn't someone just pass by? Who looked sideways?"
The young lady threw away the ladylike demeanor she had just maintained and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
He excitedly patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
Looking at her physique, you can tell she's quite strong.
If Bei Jingchu hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood and had a solid foundation, he would have been knocked to the ground with just one slap.
Thinking of this, she wanted to avoid exposing her martial arts skills, so she staggered due to the force of the slap.
The old lady held him in panic.
"Oh my, sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I was so excited, sister. It's so rare to meet a true friend in life. I forgot that you are so weak."
Bei Jingchu's mouth twitched.
This was the first time in her life that someone said she was weak!
But in a short time, the two had become close friends.
The old lady asked, "It seems that it wasn't you who came to negotiate last time?"
"Yes, she is dead."
This short sentence brought such a great shock to her that she stammered and was unable to speak.
"Is that so? Are there bandits on the way back to Beijing?"
Bei Jingchu sighed, and felt really sad when she thought of that young life.
"It's a pity. He was just not good at horse riding and lost control and fell to his death."
Madam Nian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It's okay. As long as the contract is still there, our Nian family and company will recognize it."
"It's getting late today, Madam Lei, why don't you stay in my humble abode for one night? I'll take you to count the goods tomorrow."
Bei Jingchu smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Merchants value profit, so their houses are naturally magnificent. They would like to have the word "rich" slapped to their faces.
One of the buildings in particular is Lanxiyuan, which is so magnificent that it stands out from the surroundings.
Seeing her staring at the plaque, Madam Nian smiled.
"This Lanxiyuan is named after my mother."
"After my mother passed away, my father moved his house and built a yard as a memorial, which is also your guest room."
Bei Jingchu was a little confused. If they had a good relationship and wanted to commemorate his deceased wife, why would the yard be used as a guest room?
But her expression remained unchanged, she only sighed: "Your father and mother have such a good relationship."
At the same time, he kept an eye on Madam Nian's reaction.
The corner of the young lady's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, but it only lasted for a moment before being suppressed.
If Bei Jingchu had not been prepared and observed closely, he would not have discovered it.
There is a secret in the family this year.
Then her people were killed, was it because they discovered the secret of the Nian family and were silenced?
Bei Jingchu just hoped that it wasn't because her affairs were discovered, otherwise she would keep silent.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, the money on my wrist started to heat up.
Could this be the bad luck that the national teacher was talking about?
Bei Jingchu settled down calmly. After the people left, she grabbed Jiang Longshou's wrist to try to find the mountain ghost money in his hand.
It was hot as expected.
It's different from the temperature warmed by the skin, and it's a little hotter.
Bei Jingchu, who had never encountered such a situation before, felt a chill down her spine. Human hearts are unpredictable, but ghosts are scarier, right?
"No, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Help, she wants to go home.
Thinking of what the charlatan said, that those dirty things could not hurt her, Bei Jingchu inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again.
Well, I still can't calm down.
It was rare for her to be afraid of something, and Jiang Longshou was very surprised.
He said with a smile: "It's alright, madam. Your husband will protect you."
......I think you enjoyed the performance, didn’t you?
At this time, the investigation has made some progress, and the man's death seems to be related to the Nian family.
Okay, now I really can’t leave.
