Chen Qingxuan was amused by her and smiled: "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Oh, I want to ask you how to get to the market here?" Ah Chou said hurriedly. After a pause, he continued, "If the market is too far, forget it. Is there a clinic nearby?"
"The market is not far away," Chen Qingxuan said. He led Ah Chou out of the fenced yard and pointed the way for her, "Look, young lady, just keep going along this road. You will reach the market in less than half an hour. There is a clinic in the market."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Chen." Ah Chou was busy bowing to express his gratitude. He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Qingxuan.
"I haven't asked the young lady's name yet," Chen Qingxuan said, looking at Ah Chou's alert face. Chen Qingxuan hurriedly explained. "We don't have strangers in Chenjiatun all year round. I saw that the young lady didn't look familiar, so I asked one more question. Please don't be so polite."
"I... I moved here with my family..." Ah Chou felt a little guilty, and his cheeks felt a little hot when he spoke. He didn't say anything more and turned around and left.
Chen Qingxuan looked at her back and didn't ask any more questions. But he understood everything in his heart. Ningguta often sent exiled criminals here. The good ones had a place to live and lived as commoners, while the bad ones had to wear handcuffs and leg shackles and do hard labor all year round. This girl might be a relative of an exiled criminal. She didn't want to say more, and he didn't have the habit of asking questions.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh softly, then turned around and went back to his room.
"Qingxuan, who are you talking to?" An old woman came out from the backyard.
"No one, just asking for directions," Chen Qingxuan said as he hurried over to take the broom from the old woman. "Grandma, I've told you so many times that you don't need to clean! Please stop!"
"I'm happy to sweep the floor for my eldest grandson!" Granny Chen said to Chen Qingxuan with a smile. While handing him the broom, she added, "Qingxuan, we need to find someone to fix the kang. I just saw that the chimney outside has cracked."
"Yes, I'll make a note of it, grandma," Chen Qingxuan agreed hurriedly, "I'll ask Uncle Chen to come and take a look in a few days."
"By the way, Qingxuan, I've never asked you what you really think." Grandma Chen suddenly stopped, put her hands on her waist and stared at Chen Qingxuan, "Old Wang's daughter is so good, and I watched her grow up, why are you unwilling? Are you planning to marry a fairy?"
Chen Qingxuan was so confused that he bowed to Grandma Chen again and again: "Grandma! I am still studying hard! I finally passed the exam and became a scholar, so I naturally want to go further. How can I have time to think about marriage?"
"I understand now. You look down on the girls in the village because you have studied for a degree," said Grandma Chen, but her tone was much softer. She sat down, paused, and said to Chen Qingxuan seriously, "Qingxuan, don't think I am always controlling you. Your parents died early, and I raised you up by myself. Now you are an old man, and you may not be able to get up one day. After all, I have found a wife for you. Only when I go to the underworld can I give an explanation to your parents, right?"
"Grandma! What are you talking about? You still have to wait to enjoy the blessing of your grandson! In the future, your grandson will also rely on you to take care of my children!" Chen Qingxuan couldn't stand her saying this the most. He squatted in front of Grandma Chen, hugged Grandma Chen's legs and said coquettishly, "Grandma, you will definitely live a long life!"
