Chapter 194 My Guess
Chapter 193 Speaking Human Language—— "Yes." Xinghe agreed, but he was a little confused, "But why does the young master know that his family is poor?"
Would a person from a poor family stay in this inn? The room rate in this inn is not cheap.
"I bought this set of clothes specifically to pretend to be poor. Song Jingyun is wearing the same clothes as me. Isn't he very poor?" Jiang Junli replied.
Xinghe, "..."
For the first time, I learned that people who wore cloth that cost fifteen taels per piece were called poor.
But it's true. Jiang Junli has been living a life of luxury since he was a child. Even the fabric for making shoe soles is better than this material. So naturally he would think that this fabric is extremely bad.
Moreover, in the eyes of the young master, no matter how poor a person is, he can only be this poor...
This is such a sad story.
Xinghe silently wiped away a tear for himself as a poor man, and then according to Jiang Junli's instructions, he took the cut jade to the inn and asked the shopkeeper to pass it on.
After finishing this matter, I went out to have dinner with Jiang Junli.
Here, Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia had a delicious and very down-to-earth dinner in the alley.
Spring rolls are made of thin rice wrappers filled with shredded carrots, potatoes, and white radish, and dipped in sweet vinegar. They are crispy and delicious, and you will never get tired of eating them.
The noodles are sauerkraut noodles, which are extremely sour and refreshing, and are topped with three slices of duck breast. The saltiness is just right and it tastes very comfortable.
The fried cakes are soft, glutinous and sweet, and the crispy potatoes are also fragrant...
The two men came out of the alley burping and returned to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, the innkeeper came up to Song Jingyun, handed him the box of stones, and told him a lie he had made up, "Someone left this box here and asked me to give it to you. He only said that he hoped it would bring good luck and help you pass the college entrance examination. The person did not leave his name, so I don't know who he is, but please rest assured that he has no ill intentions and only wants to make a good relationship with you."
The shopkeeper just laughed and tried to gloss over the issue.
He was even more cautious about how he should respond if Song Jingyun refuted or declined.
"In that case, thank you very much." Song Jingyun accepted it with a smile, and together with Jiang Mixia, they carried the box into the house to check the contents.
Jiang Mixia's eyes widened when she saw that there was a piece of cut jade inside.
"This piece of jade is rich in water content, large in size, with very few impurities and a very bright color. It can be called top-grade jade. Such jade is also very valuable..."
Jiang Mixia was suspicious, "So you can just give it away just like that?"
"Maybe..." Song Jingyun thought for a while, his face serious, "There's too much money at home and no place to put it?"
Jiang Mixia, "..."
That makes a lot of sense.
Because she didn't know who sent the jade, Jiang Mixia put it away first.
The two were very tired after a busy day. After washing up, they went to bed.
The two of them slept very soundly and woke up at dawn the next day.
The two were awakened by a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was rapid and powerful, making the door clang loudly. It was obviously not the waiter knocking on the door.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun hurriedly got dressed and went to open the door.
After opening the door, I saw a very familiar face.
"Young Master." Xun Yuanbai's face was full of excitement. "Hello, young lady."
"Master Xun?"
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun were both stunned. They invited Xun Yuanbo into the house and asked the waiter to bring some tea.
"Why did Master Xun come here?" Song Jingyun asked, "and how did he know that my wife and I live here?"
"Hehe, I was passing by here and stayed at this inn. I heard from the waiter that there were candidates from Fengyang County staying in the inn. I guessed it was you, young master, so I came to take a look. It turned out to be you two."
Xun Yuanbai stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Is this true?" Song Jingyun expressed his doubt.
Of course it's fake.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world? But it was very easy for him to find the young master. As long as he followed the luck, the stronger the luck, the closer he would be to the young master. There was no way he could escape.
"Look at you, I'm already quite old, why am I still pursuing this?" Xun Yuanbai laughed, "Since you and your wife are staying here, I will book the guest room next door and stay with you for a few days."
Xun Yuanbai called the waiter over and booked the room next door.
"Why did Master Xun want to accompany us?" Song Jingyun asked again.
"Young Master, you are going to take part in the Autumn Examination. This is a big deal. Your future prospects all depend on today. Young Master has always had strong luck. I am afraid that someone with ulterior motives will target you, so I have come here specially to protect you and prevent those with ill intentions from ruining your luck..."
"Speak human language."
"There is something strange in the sky in the capital. The emperor asked me about it, but I didn't dare to say much. I just said that I couldn't figure it out. I had to chase the purple light to get rid of the bad luck, so..."
Come and find the young master quickly.
As long as I stay with the young master for a few more days, my luck will get better and I will have fewer troubles in the future.
Song Jingyun, "..."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
I know it! Xun Yuanbai scratched his head and laughed, "Young Master and Young Lady, just do what you need to do, and don't worry about me, an old man."
"That won't do. Since Master Xun is here, there's no reason not to entertain him well. It's still early, has Master Xun had breakfast?"
Xun Yuanbai was a kind person and treated their family very well. In particular, he helped the porcelain kiln and even Jiangjia Village when the servants of the brother-in-law of the former county magistrate of Fengyang County attempted to take over the porcelain kiln business.
In Jiang Mixia's opinion, Xun Yuanbo needs to be treated well.
"I came here in a hurry and just arrived, so I haven't eaten yet." Xun Yuanbo said, "There's a bun shop on the street. They sell steamed buns stuffed with shrimp. Each bun has a whole big shrimp in it. It's paired with chives and eggs. It tastes really good."
"The most important thing is the red bean porridge cooked in that shop. It has a thick texture and a delicate taste. Add some sugar to it and it tastes very good. Yes, yes, yes, the pickled vegetables there are also delicious, with a crisp texture, and are not worse than those pickled vegetables in the palace..."
"Master Xun, did you really just arrive this morning?" Song Jingyun asked suspiciously.
"Ahem..." Xun Yuanbai scratched his head again, "I arrived at noon the other day."
The young man's luck can be tracked, but it is not so easy. Following the direction all the way here, Xun Yuanbai calculated that Song Jingyun would take part in the autumn examination this year, so he waited here.
When he noticed that the luck was getting stronger and guessed that the young man had already entered the city, he followed him all the way here and found out from the waiter which guest room Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia were staying in.
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Song Jingyun, "..."
Just sit here and wait for something to happen!
