County town, street.
It was Ke Xin’s first time shopping. She looked at this and touched that, just like a little kid, curious about everything.
Jiang Yongfa was extremely hungry, so he pulled Xiaojiu aside and said, "There's a bun shop up ahead. I see quite a few people are buying buns. Shall we go get some?"
Jiang Xin hadn't eaten meat buns for a long time, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "Jiu'er, let's go eat buns? The kind with meat."
Jiang Fu touched his stomach and said a little embarrassedly: "I can eat five big meat buns and drink a bowl of wontons today."
In fact, it is not a problem to eat seven or eight, but I was afraid that my younger sister would spend money, so I said two or three less.
On the other hand, Liu Feiyang on the side was not interested in the things in the small shops outside, but when he saw Ke Xin had taken them to the bun shop, he thought that it was Ke Xin who was treating them, and if he didn't charge her a big meal, he would feel sorry for the 700 kilograms of medicinal materials he had spent.
After thinking about it, he turned around and followed him in.
Liu Feiyang sat on the stool like a big boss and started talking: "Broiled pork, a plate of steamed crabs, and a plate of pork elbows..."
In the small room of less than five square meters, everyone looked at Liu Feiyang, and everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
The boss came over with a smile and interrupted him while he was ordering: "Sir, we sell steamed buns, wontons and millet porridge here. We don't have the dishes you mentioned."
Liu Feiyang: "...then give me a hundred meat buns and ten bowls of wontons."
The boss's face darkened: "...No."
This doesn't seem like someone coming to eat, but rather to pick a fight. Who is so kind as to eat a hundred steamed buns in one meal? Two bowls of wontons are enough to fill their stomach.
Ke Xin wanted to laugh when she saw Liu Feiyang getting slapped in the face for his failed attempt at pretense. She called out to the boss, "First, give us thirty large meat buns and five bowls of wontons."
When the boss heard this, he immediately smiled again: "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Ke Xin: "Uncles and brothers, if it's not enough, we can add more. We must eat enough. We will go back to work in the afternoon."
Working was secondary. She was afraid that her uncles and brothers would feel bad about spending money and not want to eat, so she used this lame excuse.
Jiang Yongfa nodded frequently: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to eat my fill."
Family members don’t need to express too much, they all understand each other.
In the shop, Liu Feiyang looked at the harmonious scene of the Jiang family and his eyes turned red. He turned his head to look at the sunny sky outside. He wondered how his parents were doing. They had been separated for two years and they didn't even come back to see him.
He sighed and turned his head back, only to see Kexin grabbing some buns. He grabbed one before her, showed off to her, and took a big bite: "Mm, delicious."
Ke Xin rolled her eyes, childish.
At that time, a luxurious carriage passed by the shop, and a corner of the curtain of the carriage was blown up by the wind.
The beautiful woman took Aunt Qiao's hand and pointed at what she saw outside in shock: "Is that my son eating the buns?"
"Is the girl next to him the one who killed her husband?"
Aunt Qiao smiled and patted the beautiful woman's hand, comforting her, "Madam, how could the young master, who is so picky about food, eat here? And how could the young master be here in Jinping Town?"
The beautiful woman agreed with this. Her son was indeed picky about food. "Ah, his marriage is a source of worry for me."
It's not just your concern, it's also my concern.
When the couple heard about the young master's affairs, one rushed back from the capital, and the other rushed back from the border, both hoping that he would get married soon so as to continue the family line.
As long as the girl is not killed by bad luck, their family will treat her as a guest of honor even if she is a beggar.
The carriage did not stop in the county town, but passed through the county directly and left with a roar.
After dinner, Ke Xin started shopping. After walking for an hour, everyone else was tired, but she was still enjoying it. The people in front of her were shopping tirelessly, and the people behind her wished there were a few more pairs of hands.
Finally she reached the entrance of the county town, had browsed around most of the shops, and bought all the gifts for her family. Only then did she get on the carriage and head back with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
When they came, the carriage had some space for people, but now... it's full. Liu Feiyang shook his head helplessly. Do all women like to go shopping?
My mother is like this, and so is Jiang Kexin. If they meet up, they can probably buy everything from all the shops in the town.
After more than an hour, the carriage finally returned to Jinping Town. Only Liu Feiyang got off. He instructed Xiaowu: "Send the person back safely, and then go home."
Although Xiaowu was reluctant, he dared not complain about what the young master had told him to do. He flicked the whip and the horse raised its hooves and galloped away.
The small and quiet village became lively again with the arrival of the carriage.
Everyone saw Kexin getting off the carriage and carrying out the things one by one. Everyone envied her: "Jiu'er, how much money did your family make from selling food? These things must be worth a lot of money, how wonderful!"
Ke Xin saw that it was Grandma Zhang Ju who was talking, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I made some money, enough for the family to eat and drink."
Zhang Ju smiled and said, "You are just being modest. That carriage just now brought a lot of things. Don't worry, no matter how much money you make, Grandma Zhang won't ask you for a single penny."
Although Zhang Ju is a widow living with a grandson, she is very strong-willed and would rather tighten her belt than ask anyone for help.
Ke Xin: "Grandma Zhang, the things that the carriage carried were all from the town. They were sent by the owner of Liuji. They were all some medicinal herbs. We didn't spend any money."
She explained it not only to Grandma Zhang, but also to the people around who were watching the fun. They didn't want her family to make a lot of money by selling food. What if all the villagers went to sell their food, and then came to her house to make trouble after losing money? She really didn't have the time to deal with such a mess.
As soon as Ke Xin arrived home, she was dragged away by Ge Shuzhen, and the mother and daughter went into the house to talk in a low voice.
"Hey, my dear, the matchmaker brought a man to our house today. This young man is from the village next door. He just passed the imperial examination last year. He's a bit old, twenty-five this year, and still unmarried. He's handsome and I think he's a good match."
Propose marriage?
Ke Xin couldn't believe what she heard. With such a reputation as hers, there was actually someone who was not afraid of death and fell in love with her?
"Mom, Xiucai... is quite old. In our village, children as old as him are already five or six years old."
She wanted to say that if he hadn't found a wife at his age, there might be something wrong with his brain, but there must be something wrong with him physically. Otherwise, how could she, who was a jinx, take such a popular scholar as her to marry?
Ge Shuzhen waved her hands. "That young man is just about the same height as your father. Otherwise, I think he's fine. He speaks slowly and has a good temper. Although he's older, he knows how to be caring."
The more she talked, the more excited she became: "Besides, people don't mind you being unlucky at all. It's better to say that those people are unlucky. Look, people who have attended private schools speak differently."
If this guy is so good, why hasn't he married yet?
