Chapter 217 My name is Ji Ruyan
"And there's more..."
Feng Xiaowan's matchmaker traits are on full display again.
"Ever since Young Master Xu led his men into the mountains to rescue people, the village girls have been secretly gossiping that if they were to marry, they'd want to marry someone like Young Master Xu, even if he were an ugly monster..."
"I wonder why the magistrate's son is still not married?"
After saying that, Feng Xiaowan secretly glanced at Lu Qingqing.
"Sister-in-law, your eyes are so furtive, can you not be so obvious about it?" Lu Qingqing said, amused.
Feng Xiaowan straightened her face. "What do you mean?"
"Okay, you don't have any. I'm leaving now."
Lu Qingqing bent down and pinched Xibao's cheek before leaving the workshop.
“Absolutely.” Mrs. Feng nodded with considerable experience.
"I used to be a matchmaker for two couples, but I only acted as a go-between for both of them."
Based on my mother's experience in judging people, this magistrate's son has taken a liking to Qingqing.
Feng Xiaowan's eyes lit up, "Mother, I think so too!"
I just don't know what's wrong with his face. Is he really an ugly monster?
"Tsk tsk, I told you you don't know any better. What's so important about your face? Wearing a mask can be quite charming. The most important thing is to be healthy and have a good temperament."
Look at that magistrate's son, so straight and upright, with a proper waist and hips, even his mouth is beautiful... cough cough..." Madam Feng blushed.
Oops, I've said too much!
Feng Xiaowan looked at her mother in surprise.
Is this still her mother, who couldn't be more proper than the most proper person she is?
Why do people's eyes light up like those young girls when they talk about Young Master Xu?
"Well, in short, you won't find anyone more prominent than the magistrate's son in the entire Ming'an County! It all depends on what Qingqing thinks."
Feng Xiaowan thought for a moment.
A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good woman deserves a good man. Young Master Xu is the only son of the county magistrate, so he probably won't come to their door. If Qingqing marries out, then their family can't be too lowly.
"Yes! Sell seasonings like crazy, make it a big and strong business, and become the richest businessman in Ming'an County!"
Save up a huge dowry for your younger sister, and support her!
that's all!
!! !! !!
Feng Xiaowan was right after all.
When Lu Qingqing went outside, she saw a girl standing next to Xu Rui.
Lu Qingqing didn't go over immediately, but hid to the side so as not to scare the girl away, since the girl was already very nervous.
Holding two eggs in her hands as if making a confession, she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
Xu Rui waited outside for a while, and his eyes showed a hint of anxiety and trepidation.
His gaze kept drifting towards the workshop, then he would lower his head and ponder again.
The girl behind him mustered her courage and said, "Young Master Xu... you've worked hard. These are eggs my mother cooked..."
"No need."
Xu Rui turned around and looked at her, his voice indifferent and aloof. He took a step back and then turned his back again.
The girl bit her lip, her face turning as red as a cloth.
Like any girl who is heartbroken after a failed confession, she ran away with her head down.
Lu Qingqing walked over.
Xu Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Can we go now?"
Lu Qingqing suddenly felt conflicted.
She didn't want to go to the mountains with Xu Rui anymore.
His attitude towards her and others was too obvious.
If you don't want to develop a romantic relationship with someone, don't give them hope.
Lu Qingqing's hesitation made Xu Rui nervous.
"Is it Uncle Lu who disagrees?"
"No, it's that I don't want to go. I don't feel comfortable with a lone man and woman like that."
Lu Qingqing saw that Xu Rui's eyes dimmed after she said those words.
A complex mix of discomfort and bewilderment permeated the air.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing. His shoulders slumped, like a lush summer suddenly turning into autumn, with fallen leaves drifting by, revealing a sense of loneliness for no reason.
I just didn't go to the mountain with him, why does it seem like I've wronged him!
Lu Qingqing scratched her head in frustration.
"I'm leaving now!"
After walking about ten steps, Xu Rui caught up with him.
"Qingqing, go ahead, it's just to find herbs."
"If you feel it's inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together, you can bring Sixi along."
"Or, I'll stay three steps away from you."
"Those mountains are completely different from the forests here. They're very beautiful. There's a flower patch, a clear pond, and many birds that I've never seen before..."
Xu Rui became incessantly talkative, pushing the product aggressively.
They walked and talked together.
Lu Qingqing finally stopped. "Who taught you to be so clingy?"
If you don't pester people, you won't have a chance!
We must fight, we must seize, we must persevere, we must be shameless...
Clearly, Gu Chengzhou's method worked!
Lu Qingqing said, "This is so annoying, fine, let's go!"
It's not a big deal to go once.
Xu Rui clenched his fist and gave himself a silent pep talk.
Lu Qingqing thought Xu Rui was just taking her to dig for medicinal herbs, but she didn't expect him to have a big surprise up his sleeve!
No wonder he insisted on having her come.
After passing the outer edge of the mountain, a group of people suddenly appeared and knelt down to greet us.
"Disperse." Xu Rui waved his hand.
The group quickly dispersed and hid in various parts of the jungle.
"them……"
"Yes, this mountain forest is sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter. There are guards in all directions."
But you can come in.
Come on, I'll show you the safe route.
The safe route Xu Rui mentioned wasn't on flat ground, but rather via an aerial cableway!
In such a short time, they managed to connect several sections of two-way cableway between the mountain peaks.
The cableway has an iron bucket that can hold three or four people, and it is pulled back and forth by manpower.
It's not very high, but it's high enough to save time and effort to pull people and rocks across rugged peaks and rivers.
To get on the cable car, you need to climb a suspended ladder.
Xu Rui walked over and asked, "Are you brave enough to go?"
Although his voice wasn't provocative, Lu Qingqing still scoffed and raised an eyebrow: "Who do you think you are! What's there for this little thing to be afraid of!"
Xu Rui laughed: "Some people are afraid of heights, that's why I'm asking you!"
Lu Qingqing tugged at the suspended ladder nailed to the ground, then stepped onto it and began to climb.
Xu Rui followed closely behind.
The two quickly climbed into the iron bucket.
"The place up there is so different from the place down there, the wind is so fierce, hahaha..."
Lu Qingqing lay down and looked down.
Xu Rui pulled the rope, and the iron bucket slowly slid forward.
"Is that the flower field you're talking about? It's beautiful, with its vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, and blues!"
"Hey? Look, look! There's a wild goat drinking water by the river!"
“That’s a deer, a red deer, a young deer. Its antlers haven’t forked yet, so it looks like a sheep,” Xu Rui said in a clear, melodious voice.
"Oh, you know quite a lot."
Xu Rui smiled faintly.
Because this type of deer is abundant in the royal hunting grounds.
"Wow! I saw a monkey! A macaque! Not just one, but several!"
Lu Qingqing was overjoyed. This place was indeed different. It was a live broadcast from the wildlife park, featuring rare and precious species!
"A golden pheasant, is that a golden pheasant? A red-bellied golden pheasant! My goodness! It's so beautiful!"
Xu Rui had stopped sliding, and the iron bucket was stopped between the two mountains.
Lu Qingqing was so excited, so vibrant and lively.
That smiling face shone like the sun shimmering between heaven and earth.
"Xu Rui, this place must not be destroyed, understand? Iron ore can be mined, but do not kill the animals!"
This is their home!
"Okay, I won't destroy it."
"We need a telescope, so I'll make one! Xu Rui..."
“Ji Ruyan. My name is Ji Ruyan.”
"What?" Lu Qingqing turned around.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly.
The sun was so bright that it made her vision blur.
Good heavens, what did she see?
