Chapter 33 When Qin Ren returned to ancient times, he...
When Qin Ren returned to ancient times, he discovered that the door had already been altered by Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue relocated the door to a very good spot, so that no one would notice her even in broad daylight.
Qin Ren came out of the door and went straight back to his shop.
He cleaned the shop thoroughly, then returned to the modern world through the shop door to move supplies.
The first thing he moved was the stuff he wanted to sell, which was quick and easy to do using a small cart.
He made three trips back and forth, and then he had moved all the items.
He then made two more trips, one to transport food and drinks, and the other to deliver things to Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue was controlled by his family, so he couldn't bring too many things back with him.
Now, for Qin Ren's convenience, he probably can't go to Qin Ren's house every day anymore.
Qin Ren thought that he might as well transport some of the things over first, and then find an opportunity to give them to Liu Qingyue.
His situation was different from Liu Qingyue's; for the time being, it was just him and Shen Wanying. The shop was his own, so no one else could interfere with what he put there.
But Liu Qingyue is different. He currently lives at his eldest cousin's house. Even if he moves with his father later, he will still live with his parents. Liu Qingyue also has servants with him, so it's really inconvenient for him to store things there.
Qin Ren thought that if his business grew bigger in the future, he could buy a house outside the city to use as a warehouse.
This way, not only would the people in the city not be suspicious of where his goods came from, but it would also prevent Shen Wanying from knowing more secrets.
Qin Ren transported all the goods over, and most of them were stored in his room. He sorted out some of the goods and then moved them to the shop in front.
This shop used to be a rice shop, so there are shelves inside.
Seeing that the shelves were still relatively new, Qin Ren didn't rush to replace them.
At this time, their shop had not yet officially opened for business.
Qin Ren opened both the front and back doors to allow for ventilation.
People passing by probably saw something in the shop and came in out of curiosity.
Seeing that it was a shop run by foreigners, they only glanced at it and quickly left.
The wig Qin Ren had ordered had arrived, but he wasn't used to wearing wigs, so he hadn't put it on yet.
Seeing this, Qin Ren was not in a hurry. Instead, he calmly and slowly organized the goods in the shop, while also considering whether he should change the layout of the shop in the future.
Just then, a middle-aged man entered his shop and asked with great curiosity, "What do you sell in your shop?"
Qin Ren understood the word "sell" and guessed what the other party wanted to ask.
He was unfamiliar with the Da Nong dialect and it took him a lot of effort to communicate with the other party.
As the middle-aged man admired the items in the shop, he shook his head and said to Qin Ren, "You can't even speak properly; it will be difficult for you to do business."
Qin Ren used a combination of words and gestures to tell the other party that his shop would have a shop assistant in the future.
Middle-aged man: "That won't work either. You still need to learn it quickly, otherwise you'll easily be fooled."
Qin Ren knew the other party meant well, so he thanked them very politely.
After the other person left, Qin Ren learned that the other person also lived on this street and that his family owned a clothing store.
Because Qin Ren bought this shop, and it was unusual for it to be open today, I came over out of curiosity to take a look.
In the evening, Qin Ren saw that the ventilation had been sufficient, and since he didn't plan to open for business immediately, he wanted to close the door and go to the backyard to rest.
He's been quite tired lately. Now that he has a little money in his pocket, he's not as eager to make money as he used to be.
Then, just as he was about to close the door, the middle-aged man who had come earlier arrived with his wife.
As the middle-aged man walked, he said to his wife, "The things in this place are quite interesting. You stay cooped up at home all the time, so why don't you take this opportunity to come out and have a look?"
His wife whispered, "What rare item could it be?"
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper is a foreigner, and the things in his shop are all rare."
As they talked, the two of them went into Qin Ren's shop together.
Seeing this, Qin Ren couldn't close the door, so he could only get up and ask them what they needed.
The middle-aged man said, "Let's take a look first."
Qin Ren understood what he meant, but considering the unusual nature of their goods, he followed them at a respectful distance, just in case they didn't know what they were.
The middle-aged man pointed to a ceramic peony on the shelf and said, "This is ceramic, isn't it? It looks so lifelike, just like a real peony."
Seeing his curiosity, Qin Ren reached out and took the ceramic peony pot down.
The climate of Yuyang Prefecture is not very suitable for growing peonies.
So you don't see many peonies here.
The middle-aged man seemed to like it quite a bit, so he inquired about the price of the Qin Ren flower.
Qin Ren understood that the question concerned price, so he answered confidently, "Three taels of silver."
Buying a fake flower for three taels of silver is obviously too expensive for ordinary people.
However, since the middle-aged man owned a shop, he could still afford to buy things for three taels of silver.
He asked Qin Ren to bring over the other potted plant as well, and then he and his wife chose one together. In the end, they bought the first potted plant that Qin Ren brought over.
The two bought a pot of ceramic peonies and two pretty hairpins, spending a total of five taels of silver before leaving the shop.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside and that no one else would come to buy anything, Qin Ren closed the shop door.
The next morning, Qin Ren did not immediately open the shop to sell his goods, but instead went out through the back door.
He hadn't seen Liu Qingyue for several days and didn't know how she was doing.
He figured he wasn't very familiar with the Yu Yang family, so he decided to go out for a stroll and inquire about the Liu family's situation.
Then Qin Ren found out that Lord Liu, who was a relative of Liu Yushen, had moved away from the Liu family a few days ago.
After Qin Ren understood, he was a little worried. He asked the man if he knew where they had moved to.
That person wasn't sure either, so Qin Ren had to ask other people for information.
After a whole morning of back and forth, Qin Ren finally found out where they were staying.
Liu Qingyue's family moved out of Lord Liu's house three days ago.
They moved to a place in the south of the city. It seemed that Minister Liu didn't want others to know their family's status, so the house they bought was an inconspicuous little courtyard.
Qin Ren wandered around the area, but didn't dare to climb overboard to take a look.
Liu Yushen's house was quite large, and he had entered the backyard earlier, so it was easy for him to avoid being noticed.
But this courtyard is different; it consists of only two small courtyards, one in front and one in back.
The Liu family consisted of more than just Liu Shangshu and Liu Qingyue; it is said that they also had two concubines and four other children.
If you add a few guards and servants, the two courtyards would probably be packed with people.
It's still broad daylight; it would be too obvious for Qin Ren to go in.
Qin Ren strolled around the neighborhood for a while, then decided to come back and check on things again in the evening.
He wanted to go back to the modern world; it was really inconvenient that they couldn't contact each other. If Liu Qingyue had been taken away, he wouldn't know where to find her. He needed to find a way to contact her.
While Qin Ren was worried about Liu Qingyue, Liu Qingyue was also worried about him.
Liu Qingyue hadn't been to the modern world for several days, so he couldn't go to Qin Ren's shop to look for him and didn't know what Qin Ren's current situation was.
And then there's... ever since they moved out, Liu Qingyue has always felt a little uneasy.
The reason they moved out of the main house was because Liu Qingyue didn't want to go on blind dates.
The story begins the day after Liu Qingyue was released. That morning, her aunt took her out for a matchmaking session.
Liu Qingyue had already guessed that they wanted to marry him off to someone else, but she didn't expect it to be in this way.
The man who was introduced to him was from a merchant family.
Not only is he a bit ugly, but he also seems a bit silly.
When Liu Qingyue saw him, she almost collapsed.
He ran back alone and caused a huge scene in the main house.
He simply couldn't understand why they, his own family, would treat him so cruelly.
He only lost it once; he didn't really lose his innocence.
Why do they look like they've become his enemies, trying to push him into a fire pit?
My eldest cousin was very angry about this and had a fight with my grandmother.
Because of this, Grandmother disliked Liu Qingyue even more, so she had Minister Liu move them out.
Liu Qingyue thought the matter was over, but after they actually moved out, he realized it wasn't as simple as he thought.
Nominally, the entire second branch of the family moved out, but in reality, only Liu Qingyue was placed here alone.
This morning, my father even managed to get rid of the two guards that my brother had given him.
Apart from Liu Qingyue, the rest of the people remaining in this courtyard were all her grandmother's people, which made Liu Qingyue feel very uneasy.
Grandmother probably didn't want her eldest cousin to interfere in his marriage, which is why she had Minister Liu move him out.
Without his older cousin's intervention, and with neither his mother nor his brother around, Liu Qingyue was completely helpless.
Liu Qingyue didn't know who to discuss this matter with, and since he hadn't seen Qin Ren for several days, he decided to go to the modern world that evening.
But to his surprise, just as darkness fell outside, a slight noise came from the courtyard.
Like a frightened bird, Liu Qingyue cautiously peeked through the crack in the door.
Then... he was horrified to discover that the fat man he had been looking at had been brought over by his grandmother's people.
They were acting cautiously, as if afraid of being discovered by him.
For a guy like me, this scene was more terrifying than seeing a ghost from a horror story.
Liu Qingyue was terrified and heartbroken.
He was brought here by his father, and he really didn't understand what was so good about such a fat guy.
Why did his father treat him this way?
Liu Qingyue quickly wiped away her tears, then used the key to open the passage and ran inside as fast as she could.
He opened the passage from the inside, so the people outside the door couldn't see it.
So when they entered the room, there was no sign of Liu Qingyue.
Seeing this, the fat man asked with dissatisfaction, "Where is she? Didn't you say the little beauty was here? You... how could you lie to me?"
The two servants were terrified upon hearing this, as they had just seen Young Master Yue inside.
How come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?
They didn't have time to worry about each other's dissatisfaction and immediately began searching the room.
Under the bed, behind the gauze curtains, behind the door... Later, they called several guards and searched the entire courtyard inside and out, but they still couldn't find that Young Master Yue.
At this moment, they all panicked. If the old lady found out that they had lost the person, none of them would have a good outcome.
While they were frantically searching for her, Liu Qingyue had already run to Qin Ren's house crying.
Qin Ren wasn't home at the time. He had come back briefly in the afternoon, bought some things online, and then immediately returned to the shop.
When Liu Qingyue arrived, she saw that his car had returned, so she knew that Qin Ren had also returned.
He figured Qin Ren must be in ancient times, and in order not to miss Qin Ren again, and since he didn't dare to go back now, he played alone in the courtyard.
It's not that he's carefree; it's just that he knows being sad won't help.
His mother was often sad and cried frequently, which caused her eyesight to be poor.
He didn't want to end up like his mother, so he learned to comfort himself.
Whenever he feels sad, he finds something fun to cheer himself up, and once the sadness fades, he won't feel as sad as before.
Liu Qingyue wiped away her tears as she strolled around the courtyard.
There doesn't seem to be anything new or interesting in the yard. Did Qin Ren not buy anything this time?
Thinking this, Liu Qingyue turned and went into the kitchen, and then he had no time to be sad.
Because he discovered that Qin Ren had bought a lot of delicious food this time, all of which were foods he had never seen before.
Qin Ren did buy a lot of delicious food, including many kinds of fruit.
For example: tangerines, grapes, bananas, strawberries, durians, apples...
Liu Qingyue skillfully turned on the water heater and began washing the fruit with hot water.
He washed two strawberries first, tasted them and thought they tasted amazing, so he washed a few more for himself.
While Liu Qingyue was enjoying her meal and drinks, the Liu family members found Qin Ren on the other side.
Among the people who found Qin Ren, two were the guards, A and B, who had escorted Liu Qingyue to Yu Yang Mansion.
Besides the Liu family, Liu Qingyue only knew Qin Ren and Shen Wanying in Yu Yang Mansion.
Shen Wanying left Yu Yang Mansion half a month ago, so Liu Qingyue's disappearance must have nothing to do with him.
The guard had no idea where a young man like Liu Qingyue would go, so he could only try his luck with Qin Ren.
After hearing their purpose, Qin Ren's eyes turned deep and cold.
"I haven't seen him since I entered Yu Yang's residence."
Seemingly sensing their disbelief, Qin Ren raised his hand, indicating that they could search for it.
Anyway... there's absolutely no way Liu Qingyue would appear in his shop.
Because it was obvious that Liu Qingyue had run away from where he lived.
As long as Qin Ren doesn't change the door for him, the only way he can get out is from where he lives.
Qin Ren realized that the Liu family were Liu Qingyue's relatives. If they could force Liu Qingyue to use the passage to escape, they must have done something very outrageous, otherwise they wouldn't have driven her to this point.
Guard A led his men to search the shop, while Guard B led his men to ask the surrounding neighbors if they had seen a young master in the area.
Yes, Guard B is Liu Qingyue's brother's man, and even if he has to find someone, he will try to protect Liu Qingyue's reputation.
At this point, they still didn't know what had happened.
They were sent away by Minister Liu, and then Liu Qingyue suddenly disappeared.
To be honest, Guard B had some suspicions that the Liu family might have been behind it.
Remembering how the young master had gone on a blind date and then caused a scene in the main house upon his return, Guard B felt that something was amiss.
It was confirmed that Liu Qingyue was not with Qin Ren, and the group hurriedly left again.
Seeing this, Qin Ren didn't rush to close the door, nor did he rush back to the modern world to find Liu Qingyue.
If they were to return and discover that Qin Ren was not in the shop, Qin Ren's situation would be extremely dangerous.
As Qin Ren had suspected, Liu Shangshu's men also came later.
They were no longer as polite to Qin Ren as they had been to the others.
Because when they came to search for people, they also broke things in Qin Ren's shop.
Qin Ren looked at the broken things with a helpless and pitiful expression.
After the people looking for someone left, the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion helped tidy up the mess.
Someone spoke up for Qin Ren, saying, "How did you manage to offend this family?"
Qin Ren awkwardly explained to them for a long time in his very broken Yong dialect.
They then realized that Qin Ren had saved one of the young masters of the Liu family.
The young master seemed to be disliked by his family and had been locked up since being sent back.
Now that the person has disappeared, the Liu family suspects that Qin Ren took him away.
One merchant couldn't help but complain, "They locked the person up themselves, and the person got lost in their own home, so how can you blame it on them?"
"That's right. I usually think Lord Liu is a pretty good person, but I never expected his relatives to be so unreasonable."
"Alas, no matter how good Lord Liu is, it doesn't mean that all members of the Liu family are good."
Qin Ren feigned pitifulness for a while, and only after confirming that the Liu family wouldn't come looking for him again did he calmly close the shop.
Instead of immediately returning to the modern world, he switched the portal to his own side.
That way, when Liu Qingyue wants to come back, she won't have to go back to his place.
Liu Qingyue did not return by the evening of the following day.
Qin Ren was a little worried that he might have already returned to the courtyard where he used to live.
To put his mind at ease, Qin Ren frowned as he returned home through the passageway.
Then he came out of the basement and saw Liu Qingyue in her room. Liu Qingyue had the air conditioner on, her long hair was loose, she was wearing a rabbit pajama, and she was eating like a little madwoman, holding a bunch of food and drinks.
Liu Qingyue heard the door open, turned around and glanced at the doorway. Seeing Qin Ren, she lowered her head and continued eating.
Seeing this, Qin Ren asked with some concern, "How much have you eaten since yesterday?"
Liu Qingyue puffed out her cheeks and replied, "The jade bracelet I gave you is very expensive. Is it not worth as much as this food?"
"That's not what I meant. You're eating too much and too many different kinds of food, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Liu Qingyue was taken aback when he heard this. His stomach was indeed a little uncomfortable, but he hadn't thought much of it before, assuming that... he had just eaten too much.
Hearing Qin Ren say this, Liu Qingyue had no choice but to stop reluctantly.
Qin Ren went to the main room and found a medicine box. He took out two digestive tablets from it and gave them to Qin Ren to eat.
What is this?
"Digestive tablets".
What is that?
"It's nothing, just eat it."
"All right."
Seeing that Liu Qingyue was about to swallow it whole, Qin Ren reminded her.
"You can chew it up and eat it; it's not bitter."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue threw the two pills into her mouth and chewed them loudly.
After taking her medicine, Liu Qingyue sighed.
"This medicine tastes pretty good too."
"Medicine is medicine; you can't just take it anywhere."
As Qin Ren spoke, he glanced at the mess he had made of the room with a hint of disdain.
He reached out and lifted Liu Qingyue off the bed, intending to tidy up the things on the bed a little.
Still worried that Liu Qingyue was eating too much, he turned around and glanced at Liu Qingyue's belly.
Qin Ren asked Liu Qingyue to sit down on a chair next to him, then bent down and reached out to touch his stomach.
Liu Qingyue was feeling guilty. He had accidentally made such a mess of Qin Ren's house. Qin Ren must be very angry and disgusted with him now.
Because he was preoccupied with this matter, he didn't notice Qin Ren's actions.
It wasn't until Qin Ren lifted his clothes and reached out to rub his slightly swollen belly that Liu Qingyue cried out as if he had been burned.
Liu Qingyue, her face flushed, exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Qin Ren looked up at him and said, "Let me rub your stomach."
Liu Qingyue: "I, I'm not a child. Even if I need to rub my stomach, it should be me who does it."
A hint of a smile played in Qin Ren's eyes, but he said matter-of-factly, "We're all men, why are you so nervous?"
