"I see."
Hua Qingcheng nodded slightly. Compared to those who think that men who comb their hair are weird, she thinks that if one has not met someone they truly love, there is nothing wrong with living a quiet life.
"Let's go, Xiaotian."
Hua Qingcheng held Yu Xiaotian's hand and continued forward, but their path was blocked by a group of what Yu Xiaotian called "self-combed men" in front of them. They were gathered at the entrance of a paper-making shop. It turned out that the shop owner and her husband had been arguing. More precisely, the shop owner's husband was verbally abusing and beating her in broad daylight, in full view of everyone.
"Tian Shi, you're a coward. You can't even do the smallest things. You're so clumsy. I was really blind to fall for you and marry a useless thing like you..."
What caught Hua Qingcheng's eye was a man dressed in gold and silver. He was not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he had a handsome face, his expression was very mean. At this moment, he was cursing at the shopkeeper non-stop, and he kept poking her forehead with his fingers, and occasionally pinching her face or body.
The Tian Shi he was talking about was about twenty years old. She was a loyal and honest woman. Even when her husband beat and scolded her until she was almost thrown into the ground, she did not dare to say a word.
It turned out that Tian Shi was a son-in-law of Cen Ning's family. He felt inferior to others and usually obeyed his husband's orders without hesitation. He was probably so used to such insults that he was numb.
"I'm talking, are you listening?"
Cen Ning pushed Tian Shi angrily, and the owner of the paper-making shop suddenly fell to the side, just bumping into Yu Xiaotian's feet.
"Are you okay?"
Yu Xiaotian opened his beautiful, bright eyes and looked curiously at Tian Shi, who fell to the ground in a mess.
"No, nothing."
Seeing that it was a handsome young man in blue clothes and indigo auspicious cloud cloth shoes, Tian Shi's eyes flashed slightly. He struggled to get up from the ground, glanced at Yu Xiaotian dimly, turned around, and staggered back to the paper-making shop.
"Sir, this is the ingot candle you requested!"
Tian Shi handed a large stack of gold ingot candles to Ruobai, and after taking the money, he continued to make paper figures.
After slinging the shopping items onto a mule's back, Ruo Bai called his companions back. A group of men with identical hairstyles and clothing, along with seven or eight mules, headed back towards Qibao Mountain, the same direction Hua Qingcheng had taken to the horse market. Within the crowd, a single gaze repeatedly darted towards Hua Qingcheng.
"Are you okay, Xiaotian? Did that person bump into you just now?"
"No, my wife, I'm fine. It's getting late, let's go buy a carriage and go back as soon as possible. My brothers and others must be waiting anxiously at home."
"good."
After a short walk, Hua Qingcheng and Yu Xiaotian boarded their Xiangyun horses and rode off towards the horse market. They eventually found a well-made carriage that was neither too big nor too small. After paying ten taels of silver, Hua Qingcheng had the carriage harnessed to the Xiangyun horses.
After ordering Xiangyunma to return to Huaqiao Village, Hua Qingcheng took Yu Xiaotian into the carriage. She was seen holding Yu Xiaotian's arm, her eyes slightly closed, looking very comfortable and relaxed.
"My dear wife, there's no one at the shaft to drive the carriage. Is that really all right?"
"Don't worry, Xiaotian, this horse knows the way."
Not only Yu Xiaotian, Hua Qingcheng was also very shocked. The Xiangyun horse she picked up seemed to be particularly smart.
So, on their way back to Huaqiao Village, passers-by stopped to watch, looking at their carriage, which had no one driving it, was pulled by horses with strange skin colors, and could drive automatically, as it whizzed past them in a leisurely manner.
