Take him out for fun
"Mr. Chen, please take a seat."
Madam Tong regained her usual composure.
"You guys continue."
It turned out that Chen Yu came to Ganzhou this time to purchase medicinal materials needed for the army.
Hearing this, Madam Tong asked the question in her heart,
"Sir, are you from the Feng Family Army?"
Chen Yu nodded in surprise.
"How does the lady know?"
Madam Tong took a sip of the teacup and then pointed at the jade pendant on his waist.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be something only the Feng Family Army has."
Indeed, this jade pendant was made for the Feng family army.
But not everyone has it, only those who reach a certain level can have it.
"Madam, do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Chen Yu was curious. Unless Duan had come into contact with someone of higher rank in the Feng Family Army, he would not know the significance of this jade pendant.
Mrs. Tong raised her head and spoke calmly.
“I’ve only heard people say it before.
But regarding the Feng Family Army, I think everyone in the world should know about it."
After a brief silence, she continued,
“When foreign enemies invaded, if it weren’t for General Feng leading the soldiers to fight bravely, how could we have kept our country intact and our people safe?
Furthermore, the Feng Family Army is still guarding the border, protecting our territory and our people. This is truly our good fortune."
Chen Yu could feel that Madam Tong seemed unwilling to answer his question directly, so he did not want to ask any more questions. He just said politely,
"It's my duty."
Fuyao was so bored in the yard that she called Uncle Yu to practice martial arts with her.
Although she is a girl, she has become very skilled under the training of Uncle Yu.
Even though Madam Tong didn't like Fuyao practicing martial arts, she turned a blind eye to it because she thought it would protect her.
Although I sweated a little, it was still a refreshing experience.
Fuyao, who was originally planning to take a bath, was informed by her maid that the eldest lady had returned and asked her to go to the front yard for lunch.
"Mother, you're back so early today!"
The voice arrived but the person didn't show up yet. Fuyao ran in shouting while wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand.
Seeing her trotting in so unrestrainedly, Madam Tong's smiling face drooped.
"Still not careful."
"Why is he here?"
When Fuyao saw clearly the person sitting opposite A Niang, her jaw dropped in surprise.
"Madam Shangguan."
Chen Yu stood up and a barely perceptible smile spread across his lips like ripples.
"Mr. Chen, there's no need to be so reserved."
Madam Tong said, motioning him to sit down.
"Do you know each other?"
"I've met Madam Shangguan a few times."
Chen Yu lowered his head and replied.
Fuyao nodded and sat down on the stool.
"Why hasn't Second Aunt come back yet?"
"There are some things in the shop that she needs to take care of."
Mrs. Tong said this as she naturally put some food on her daughter's plate.
When Fuyao was nine years old, her second uncle passed away, and her second aunt Xu and her cousin Shangguan Qi have been living with them ever since.
Xu will help Madam Tong manage the pharmacy.
"Mr. Chen came to Ganzhou from Yu'an to purchase medicinal materials."
Mrs. Tong was greeting the guests while talking to her daughter.
"oh."
Fuyao understood that Chen Yu should be purchasing medicinal materials in his own pharmacy.
However, although we do business with our family many times, this is the first time that a customer has been brought home for dinner.
Could it be that this Chen Yu has some extraordinary qualities, Fuyao wondered in her heart.
“My daughter lost her father at a young age, and I was busy with business.
Therefore, I have been a little lax in my discipline of her. I hope Mr. Chen will forgive me."
It was rare for Madam Tong to speak ill of her daughter in front of outsiders.
This surprised Fuyao so much that she couldn't help but mutter,
"Mother, why should I ask him to forgive me?
If he doesn’t feel well, there’s no need for him to come home.”
"Madam Shangguan, you are smart, quick-witted, and helpful. You are truly a distinguished person from a distinguished family."
Chen Yu praised.
"Mr. Chen, you are very kind. You are not bad either.
I admire your kindness from the bottom of my heart."
Fuyao replied without giving in.
"Mr. Chen has just arrived in Ganzhou and may not be familiar with the place yet.
If you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can let Fuyao take you out for a walk."
Mrs. Tong suggested.
How is it possible if I am not familiar with you!
How could an old acquaintance of Liufeng Pavilion not be familiar with this place?
While eating, Fuyao couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Madam Shangguan."
Chen Yu, who was expected to refuse, agreed immediately.
Probably knowing that they were going out to play, the weather today was also very supportive.
The weather is sunny and the sky is clear.
As soon as Fuyao and Qingning walked out of the hospital, they saw the tall and graceful Chen Yu waiting outside the house.
There was a man standing behind him, and Fuyao recognized him as the coachman from before.
She was impressed by him because he had a slightly curved sword at his waist.
It is understandable that a businessman would bring a subordinate with a sword when he goes out.
"Where do you want to go, sir?"
Fuyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Yu who was standing with his hands behind his back.
Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and there seemed to be starlight flowing in her clear autumn pupils.
"All up to you." He lowered his head and replied softly.
In that case, Fuyao planned to take him for a stroll through the streets.
"Are Madam Shangguan and Xu Yanei familiar with each other?"
Chen Yu suddenly asked while walking on the road.
"The one from Xu Mansion?"
Fuyao looked at the street performance not far away and said without turning back,
"What's the difference between a gangster and a scoundrel?"
"Madam Shangguan is really not shy about what she says."
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile.
Fuyao stopped and looked back.
"If you find what I say unpleasant, you can choose to leave."
Being asked by her mother to accompany him shopping was not what she wanted to do. She would rather go home and copy books.
But just as she finished her words, Chen Yu suddenly reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, spun her around quickly, and took her across the street.
Then I saw a cold arrow flying by. What was going on?
Fu Yao couldn't help but frown. Was someone trying to shoot her with an arrow just now?
And you didn't notice it beforehand?
But when I think about it, I don’t think I have offended anyone.
Just as she was thinking, Qing Ning's voice came from not far away.
"Young lady?"
At this time, Chen Yu was still holding her waist, and the man with the sword beside him had disappeared.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Yu's voice brought her back to her senses.
Fuyao was startled at first, then she pushed away his arm and said unhappily,
"No problem."
"Forgive me for being so presumptuous, I was in a hurry just now..."
Chen Yu lowered his head, his gaze moving from her eyes to her red lips, and then back to her displeased gaze.
"Thank you, but no need next time."
Fuyao interrupted him abruptly.
His brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth drooped.
Just as the two were talking, Qing Ning walked through the crowd and came to them.
"How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight."
Fuyao looked at Chen Yu in front of her with eyes like two small flames.
"Did you offend someone?"
Chen Yu raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose.
"I'm just a herbal medicine seller, who would dislike me?
But it was indeed my fault that Madam Shangguan was frightened today.
It's getting late, why don't I treat Madam Shangguan to lunch?"
Fuyao did not refuse and took them to her favorite restaurant.
After a while, all the dishes were served.
"What do you think, Mr. Chen?
Here you can eat and listen to music.
Although it is not as good as Liufeng Pavilion, it also has its own unique flavor."
Fuyao spoke, with an imperceptible smile in her starry eyes.
Chen Yu picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip.
“I thought I recognized the wrong person last time!
In fact, Madam Shangguan's beauty doesn't need to be covered by a veil."
Fuyao snorted lightly, why are you pretending?
If she hadn't seen him save Sister Xianning last time, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him!
Thinking about it, I picked up a piece of fish, put it in my mouth, and started chewing it hard.
"Young lady."
Qing Ning, who was sitting beside him, whispered,
"Be careful of fish bones."
Chen Yu looked at Fuyao, smiled lightly and shook his head without saying anything.
"Fuyao."
Fuyao, who only wanted to finish her meal quickly, heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw a tall figure standing on her right. She stood up and shouted with unconcealed joy,
"Brother Shao, why are you here?
It’s been a while since we last met.”
"I went to Yu'an for something, and just came back and said I was going to see you when I met you."
As he spoke, Shao Hansu took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him, saying with a gentle look,
"I saw it on the street and thought it would suit you, so I bought it for you."
Fuyao happily reached out to take it. It was a crescent-shaped jade pendant with a vibrant emerald green.
"Thank you. I like it very much."
Watching the two people's enthusiastic interaction, Chen Yu, who was sitting, just ate quietly.
"Who is this?"
Shao Hansu actually saw Chen Yu sitting across the table as soon as he came over.
"A customer of A Niang's shop."
Fuyao replied casually while playing with the jade pendant in her hand.
Seeing that he was mentioned, Chen Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
"Chen Yu."
Shao Hansu also responded with compliments, then chatted with Fuyao for a few more words before leaving.
Chen Yu sat down and continued to eat. Seeing Fuyao still holding the jade pendant, he took a bite of food and joked,
"It's obvious that Madam Shangguan is very satisfied. I wonder if she's satisfied with the gift or something else?"
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Fuyao took the jade pendant in her hand, then looked at him with a sidelong smile.
"Don't bother your Excellency with that.
We've walked around the street and eaten, and I'm a little tired. Qingning will go and settle the bill.
Thank you again for helping Sister Xian Ning. Please enjoy your time."
After saying that, he walked towards the door with light steps.
Watching her departing figure, a faint smile slowly spread across Chen Yu's sunny and charming face.
Just as he was about to enter the yard, Uncle Yu saw his young wife walking towards him with a smile on her face.
"It's so fun to go shopping with Mr. Chen!"
He lowered his head and asked softly, with a smile in his eyes.
"How is that possible!"
Fuyao stopped and pouted and replied,
"Look at this, isn't it beautiful!"
She opened her palm and showed the jade.
"oh."
Uncle Yu looked over with his small eyes.
“This is of good quality.”
"That was given to me by Brother Shao."
Fuyao clenched his palms, looking very proud.
Uncle Yu looked down at her.
"It seems that the young lady has some feelings for Mr. Shao?"
Upon hearing this, Fuyao opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, and walked straight towards his courtyard gate.
In the room, she leaned against the windowsill, her crystal clear eyes looking at the blue sky outside the window.
In her eyes, Shao Hansu is indeed a reliable person.
He became the magistrate of Ganzhou at a young age. Most importantly, he was kind and upright, and seemed to be someone worthy of entrusting one's life to.
