Chapter 109: Alone
Jiang Tangtang couldn't sleep after returning to her room, and she didn't want to keep thinking about what Lu Shiyan had just said, so she finally started thinking about the decoration of the shop.
Anyway, judging from Lu Shiyan's expression, even if she wanted to leave, it would not be arranged in a short time.
Let’s make money first!
Nothing matters more than making money.
When Lu Shiyan came in, he saw Jiang Tangtang sitting in front of a simple square table, holding a sharpened stick and writing and drawing on paper with ink.
Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment and walked over without saying a word. But looking at the pattern on the paper, he knew what she was doing.
This was not the first time he had seen such a strange way of painting, but it was the first time he had seen her painting process.
Under the light, she looks gentle and peaceful.
Jiang Tangtang is a person who is not easily disturbed by the outside world when she is concentrating. She was indeed worried about Lu Shiyan's words at first, but once she concentrated, she completely forgot about herself.
At this moment, he didn't notice Lu Shiyan. He pursed his lips in thought for a while, and then calculated the data he had recorded before...
Lu Shiyan just watched her writing and drawing, and when he came to his senses, he had been staring at her for half an hour.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang put down her pen and stretched out her arms. She had already finished drawing the shop's decoration drawings.
"Does this indicate the size?" After seeing her finish drawing, Lu Shiyan couldn't help but point at the Arabic numerals and letters on the drawing.
Jiang Tangtang half-opened her lips and stared at him with wide eyes, not knowing how to fool him.
He said he just wrote it casually, but I wonder if he believes it?
But before she could think of how to answer him, Lu Shiyan had already taken the initiative to change the subject, "Is this the blueprint for the shop renovation? Have you found the manpower for the renovation?"
Jiang Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm going to ask Mrs. Chu if the construction team working on her property is available. Her silver shop has been renovated quite nicely!"
"Okay, then. If the work team over there is not suitable, remember to tell me." Lu Shiyan looked away and turned around and said, "I've warmed up the water on the stove. I was afraid to disturb you just now, but I'm afraid it's cold now. I'll go check it out. You can come over and wash up later."
After Lu Shiyan left, Jiang Tangtang pulled at her hair a little irritably. But thinking about Lu Shiyan's reaction, she quickly calmed down.
He is not a stupid person, and no matter how careful he is, if the two of them live together for a long time, the signs will show.
Not to mention that most of the time, she didn't hide her true nature at all.
A man as smart and perceptive as him should have noticed that something was wrong with her long ago!
Should she do as in novels and have a god appear in her dream or something to explain it?
But thinking about how he had never said anything and even took the initiative to change the subject today, she shook her head again and thought, forget it, she was too lazy to care.
He won't do anything to me anyway.
Jiang Tangtang put away the drawings and turned to go to the kitchen.
It was just as Lu Shiyan said, the hot water in the big pot had already cooled down a bit, and he was adding firewood to the stove.
Jiang Tangtang went to brush her teeth first. By the time she was done, the water in the pot was almost full. Since the conditions were inconvenient, the two of them didn't shower. They simply washed their faces and feet and returned to their rooms.
But when they returned to the room and looked at the not-so-big bed, they both felt uncomfortable.
The road to exile was full of chaos and the two of them slept in the wild most of the time. After settling down in Zhounan Village, they both had children in the room, so they still slept in separate beds. This was the first time that Jiang Tangtang had slept in a room alone with him since she had traveled through time.
And depending on the situation, you need to sleep in a bed.
Looking at his handsome face, her cheeks felt hot and her mind was dizzy...
Lu Shiyan is not much better than Jiang Tangtang at this moment.
Although the two had had an intimate relationship, it was when he was not fully aware of the situation. Then his wife came home pregnant, and then he was at the border. And then something happened to the Lu family...
After a long while, Lu Shiyan asked, "Are you used to sleeping inside or outside?"
"I can do anything!"
"Then I'll sleep outside. I'll get up early tomorrow morning so as not to disturb you!"
Jiang Tangtang climbed onto the bed, lay down against the wall, and hid herself in the quilt.
She didn't know if it was because the night was too quiet, but even though she was wrapped in the quilt, she could clearly sense what Lu Shiyan was doing.
Listening to him taking off his coat, extinguishing the candle, and lying on the bed, Jiang Tangtang felt sweat all over her body.
Just as she was getting extremely nervous, the blanket was gently pulled back. A deep, rich, and magnetic voice rang out in her ears, "You're not afraid of being bored."
"It will warm up faster this way!" Jiang Tangtang said sternly.
"Is that warm?"
Jiang Tangtang clearly felt him chuckle in the darkness. She thought angrily, why is she so nervous! She is a young person from the 21st century, what has she not seen?
Is she afraid of him, a primary school kid from ancient times?
She held her breath and said calmly, "It's warm!"
Lu Shiyan pressed the quilt over her, then lay down and said, "Then go to sleep!"
There was some distance between the two of them, but Jiang Tangtang could clearly smell the light scent on him.
She felt inexplicably at ease and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
When she woke up the next day, Lu Shiyan was no longer in bed.
Jiang Tangtang got dressed and went to wash up.
Today she had to go to Jiuxia Silver Shop. In addition to asking Chu Mingyu to introduce workers to renovate the shop, she also had to deal with the opening of the silver shop.
At that time, the silver shop had been scheduled to reopen on the 18th, but it was delayed because of the pirate incident and had to be rescheduled.
Jiang Tangtang was too lazy to eat at home, so she took Guo Yu out and bought some buns for breakfast. After eating, they went to Jiuxia Silver Shop.
Chu Mingyu has been in a bad mood these days.
If the jewelry store is closed for one day, there will be no income, but the shop employs so many people and there are places to spend money everywhere.
Although the pirates did not attack the county town, it was in chaos. Coupled with the conscription, Raoying County has long lost its former prosperity.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Chu family's fate?"
"Miss, please don't think like that!" Grandma Duan anxiously advised, "This is just an accident. If God really didn't want to help the Chu family, how could he send someone as talented as Madam Jiang to you?"
Thinking of the incredibly talented Jiang Tangtang, a smile appeared on Chu Mingyu's distressed face.
Grandma Duan said again, "How about I go get Madam Jiang and let her think of a solution?"
Chu Mingyu was about to nod when a servant came to report that Jiang Tangtang had arrived. Chu Mingyu immediately stood up happily and went out to greet her, saying, "Sister Jiang, I was just saying I'd send someone to pick you up, and you're here before I knew it. We're truly close."
Jiang Tangtang said, "I actually wanted to come here a while ago, but it was so chaotic outside a few days ago that I didn't dare come."
