Chapter 120 Coincidentally
Who in the neighborhood didn't know that Miss Shen was Magistrate Xue's maid? Especially since their relationship was so unclear.
According to rumors, when Miss Shen went to the garrison for a banquet, she sat at the main table, just like County Magistrate Xue! The truth behind this was self-evident.
If you dare to set your sights on her in Honglu County, wouldn't that be like challenging the emperor?
Too arrogant!
The man was short, had sesame-shaped eyes, an upturned nose, and behaved in a vulgar manner. It was difficult for him to give people a good impression.
"Where did this rascal come from? How shameless! Get out of here now! Don't dirty my place."
Ge Daniu was setting up a stall diagonally opposite. This area was originally his territory. He had stopped there for a while because of the Jichang Pharmacy. Later, he heard from his daughter that the Shen family was planning to set up a stall in the south of the city, so he came back.
Most of the stall owners nearby were old acquaintances with him, and upon hearing what he said, they all looked at the man unkindly.
"Oh, you're so arrogant! Are you going to buy this place?" The man glanced at Chen Chunxing furtively. Seeing that the situation was not right, he pretended to be weak and shrank his neck in grievance. "Just leave if you want to. You are worthy of being a girl from the county magistrate's family. There are many men protecting you! I'm leaving now! Don't hit me!"
Ge Daniu almost lost his breath and smashed the pestle in his hand directly.
The old men and women were also quite disgusted.
Everyone loves to hear gossip, but if it's obvious slander, all you'll get in return is contempt.
They were all old people from the south of the city. They were more familiar with Ge Baoer than Shen Chunxing, so they could naturally guess why Ge Daniu offered to help.
Even if Ge Daniu didn't say anything, they would still curse!
The girl from the Shen family is so likable. She has never put on airs. Everyone can see that she comes from a poor family, so naturally, everyone will feel more identified with her.
You are an old man in your thirties, and you come here to tease a young girl. Aren't you asking for trouble?
The pestle didn't hit the man, but he was hit on the head with a broom. He covered his face and ran away.
"Hey, that bitch!"
"Great, it's no wonder we're in the county, helping the county magistrate!"
"Very good!"
The Tofu Beauty, wearing a moon-white dress, said with a pout, "I just look down on rascals like you! Do you really think we women are easy to bully? Don't you think this is the Northern Territory?"
The people are tough, and it's not just talk.
Chen Chunxing made a gesture of holding his heart, pulled and tugged, and gave the pickles to the heroine.
She was really impressed by the sisters from the north! Each one was more generous than the other!
Although Chen Chunxing is not afraid of trouble, it is always different when someone is willing to stand up for you.
Before Tofu Xishi made her move, she never thought about asking for anything in return. Unable to refuse this clingy little sister, she simply threw down two bowls of tofu pudding as an exchange.
Chen Chunxing couldn't help it and wanted to catch Zhixia and learn how to fight wolves from the female knight! But when he turned around, there was no one there.
The old man couldn't stand the loneliness and slipped away quietly without knowing when.
She was depressed and looked to the right, and found that there was one person missing there too.
Only Baoer was standing behind the stall, Yang Yi was nowhere to be seen.
Well, I can’t leave at all.
Chen Chunxing pulled his hair in frustration, slammed the chopping board, and shouted, "Who wants more pickles? A quack doctor for a bowl!"
Everyone laughed, thinking she was joking. How could there be any quack doctors in Honglu County? The few remaining doctors had long been secretly squeezed out by the Jichang Pharmacy.
The stall lasts until noon.
Baoer went to a nearby store and bought two bowls of clear soup noodles. He brought them back and greedily added pickles into them.
Why did she stay at the Shen family? It was just for the good food!
Although the Xue family never treated their servants harshly, the taste was no match for the food at the Shen family.
Baoer had seen Aunt Shen cooking. She didn't seem to have any special skills, but the food tasted incredibly good. Later, she learned from several young masters and young ladies that the dishes of the Shen family were personally selected by Miss Shen, and she had also instructed on the seasoning.
Although he didn't know where Miss Shen got the secret recipe, it didn't stop Baoer from admiring her.
After slurping down the noodles in a few mouthfuls, Baoer wiped her mouth and noticed that Chen Chunxing had only taken a few bites, and her eating was erratic and lacking interest. She thought she didn't like it and hurriedly advised her, "Girl, eat more. Eating more will help you grow meat. Your body...is not fully grown yet."
She said it tactfully, but Chen Chunxing understood immediately. He pinched Baoer's cheek with a smile and said, "Where did you learn this from?"
I glanced down and saw that it was indeed much taller than me.
"It's the aunts in the alley. They took pity on my mother not being around and taught me a lot..."
Baoer rubbed his face, and suddenly an idea came to him. He put his round face close to Chen Chunxing's hand.
"Actually, I also feel that the food sold on the street isn't as delicious as Aunt Shen's. Since you have no appetite, why don't you set up your own food stall? That way, you won't have to worry about making a living, and you won't have to put yourself in a difficult position."
Chen Chunxing used both hands this time and looked at her with a slanting look: "You are really doing something else."
Baoer grinned with a flattering expression.
“…”
Chen Chunxing: "Okay, I'll think about it."
Pickles don't sell well here because the market is limited and there's only so much we can eat. It's time to find another way to make a living.
After they finished eating, while Bao'er was sending the bowl back, Chen Chunxing went around soliciting business.
"Uncle, would you like to buy some pickles? Please spare me a quack doctor and give me an extra pound."
"Auntie, I just want a little girl with me!"
"Yes! He's just walking around with a fake name, looking like a traveling doctor selling fake medicine!"
After a while.
Everyone nearby knew it.
Miss Shen is looking for someone. They were trying to recall whether they had seen an old man and a young man who looked like that in the market.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still have no impression, so I guess there is no such thing.
So he strolled to another place. If not for the pickles, just for Miss Shen's face, it was worth strolling a few more times.
This side.
Chen Chunxing shouted for a while before being stopped by someone.
"Miss, someone is coming from the mansion and wants to see you." Mao Ping ran over with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chen Chunxing was surprised: "Why don't you take a carriage?"
Mao Ping shook his head: "My Lord is out on business, and there are no carriages in the mansion right now."
He looked up and said cautiously, "Lord Wei has come to the mansion."
"Come if you want..."
"He said he wanted to buy pickles." Mao Ping said in a strange tone, "The military order."
Hey!
It's not an isolated case.
Don’t miss out on a deal that comes to your doorstep.
Chen Chunxing pondered for a moment, his expression normal. He told Bao'er to wait for someone to come back, and then he got into the mule cart and said, "You drive the cart."
Maoping sat in the driver's seat swiftly.
Galloping all the way.
When he arrived at the county government office, there were several yamen runners standing at the door. Chen Chunxing recognized one of them as the head of the militia squad, who had chased him all the way to the narrow village. He was wondering whether he should say hello when he heard the other party speak enthusiastically.
"I heard that the young lady has been selling pickles recently? Cheng has always liked this. I came here uninvited today. I hope I didn't disturb the young lady?"
