The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

At this time, many people watching the excitement gradually gathered nearby.

Boss Zhang glanced around guiltily, thinking that if he continued to make trouble like this, it would affect his business, he secretly bit his back teeth.

"This is all a misunderstanding. I will calculate the wages for you."

In just one cup of tea, the evil boss Zhang gave Qi Tianyi his wages.

One day's wages are twelve cents, and the total for seven days is 84 cents. Although it is not much, it is still the income of one's own labor.

Qi Tianyi happily held the money in his hand.

"Miss Yan, do you have time? I would like to treat you to dinner, but the money is not much, so I may not be able to eat anything good."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Oh, if I had known you were going to treat me to dinner, I shouldn't have bought two big meat buns just now. It seems I have to wait until next time."

She knew that Qi Tianyi wanted to thank her. It was not easy for him to earn such a small amount of money. She didn't want him to spend money and could only say that she had eaten.

Qi Tianyi nodded sincerely: "When are you free? I'm available at any time."

"There is nothing delicious in the town. My uncle will go home tomorrow. If you are free, you can come to my house as a guest. I will personally prepare delicious food for you to try."

Qi Tianyi was really flattered, but then he felt a little tangled in his heart.

"I'm supposed to be thanking you, why should I bother you at home again?"

"Tomorrow is the Moon Festival. Even if you don't go, we still have to celebrate the festival. If you treat me as a friend, you don't have to be too polite. Reciprocate. How about you treat me next time?"

Qi Tianyi felt a little relieved after hearing what Yan Shu said.

"Okay, it's a deal."

"I'll go first if I have something to do."

Yan Shu drove the donkey cart away, and Qi Tianyi stood on the roadside, watching her leaving.

noon

Several men dressed as scholars walked outside a pastry shop.

Yang Huai pointed to the three gilded characters "Guiyunzhai" hanging on the shop.

"This is it. There are still many people queuing up to buy their mooncakes. I know the shopkeeper well, so we can just go in."

Cai Wenjie said: "Today I have benefited from Brother Yang, otherwise we would all have to queue up."

Yang Huai took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's go in quickly, it's too hot outside."

Jiang Ci inadvertently glanced at the people waiting in line, and suddenly saw a familiar figure driving a donkey cart into an alley.

His deep eyes suddenly lit up.

"You go first."

"Brother Mubai, where are you going?"

Jiang Ci didn't answer, and walked straight away through the crowd.

He came to the entrance of the alley and saw that familiar figure.

"Sister-in-law."

Yan Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she heard the boss's voice.

Could it be that he was hallucinating due to heatstroke?

She was really exposed to the sun along the way, and she was still a little dizzy now. Fortunately, she applied a thick layer of sunscreen when she went out, and drank some spiritual spring water on the way, otherwise she would have suffered from heat stroke.

Yan Shu drove the donkey cart forward, and Jiang Ci's voice came from behind again.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

He heard it very clearly this time. Yan Shu hurriedly reined in the reins and turned around to look.

Then she saw that graceful figure walking towards her.

"Uncle? It's really you. I thought I was hallucinating."

Jiang Ci walked up to her and glanced at the donkey cart.

There were several empty baskets stacked together on the cart, and three baskets were placed neatly, covered with a layer of cheesecloth, and the fragrance of pastries came to the nostrils.

Jiang Ci vaguely guessed something.

"I heard that Guiyunzhai has recently released several mooncakes with unique flavors. I wanted to buy some for my sister-in-law to try."

"you buy it?"

"Not yet. I was about to enter the shop when I accidentally saw my sister-in-law and hurriedly chased after her."

Yan Shu let out a sigh of relief, jumped off the donkey cart, and lifted the cloth off the basket.

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "It turns out that my sister-in-law did it."

Yan Shu chuckled.

"I have nothing to do, thinking that the Moon Festival is coming soon, so I took my second brother and third brother to earn some pocket money."

Jiang Ci thought to himself, they all sold it to Chiyang County, and they made a lot of pocket money.

"Sister-in-law is here to deliver goods?"

An anxious look suddenly appeared on Yan Shu's face.

"Oh, it's already too late. I have to send the mooncakes over quickly."

"Don't worry, I'll go with you."

Jiang Ci sat in front of the carriage and took the initiative to take over the task of driving the donkey carriage.

Yan Shu consciously sat on the other side.

Arriving at the back door of Guiyunzhai shop, Yan Shu went in and called a few people over, and worked together to carry the mooncakes in.

After delivering the mooncakes, the two drove the empty car away from Guiyunzhai and stopped in the shade of a tree nearby.

"Sister-in-law, are you going back soon?"

Yan Shu nodded: "I'm planning to go back. Tomorrow is the Moon Festival. When will my uncle have a holiday?"

"Tonight, the county magistrate has chartered a boat and invited the masters and students from Hongle Academy to go out for a cruise on the lake to admire the moon. I'm afraid I won't be able to rush back until early tomorrow morning."

After finishing his words, Jiang Ci looked deeply at Yan Shu.

"I heard that there is a lantern festival in Xicheng tonight. Sister-in-law, do you want to join in the fun?"

Yan Shu's eyes brightened slightly. She had been living in the countryside since she entered the book, and she had never seen what the night in the city looked like.

Seeing her interest, Jiang Ci smiled and said: "There is no curfew in Chiyang City tonight, and the streets are brightly lit and lively. Why don't you stay here for one night? It won't be too late by the time I finish attending the banquet. I can take you with me." Sister-in-law, let’s go take a look around.”

Yan Shu was successfully fooled, and she really wanted to see with her own eyes how the ancients celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Then I'll stay at a nearby inn."

Jiang Ci curled his lips and smiled with satisfaction.

"I know a good inn, I'll take you there."

"Thank you for your help, uncle."

The two drove the donkey cart to an inn called Yunhe Tower, which was adjacent to Feiyue Lake. From the upper floor, they could overlook the entire sparkling lake.

Jiang Ci chose a bedchamber and still called Yan Shu his wife.

The two came to the room, and Yan Shu took a look around the environment. It was indeed the most famous inn in Chiyang County, and the environment was naturally not comparable to that of a small inn in Furong Town.

Jiang Ci walked to the window and raised his hand to gently push open the sash.

"It faces Feiyue Lake. At night, lanterns are lit and fireworks are set off on the lake. Many boats will also dock nearby. The night view is pretty good."

Yan Shu stood beside him and glanced outside.

It is indeed a good place with cool breeze and beautiful scenery.

"How much does it cost to live here for a day?"

Jiang Ci paid for it last time, but he can't let it go out again this time.

He was in poor health and had to make money by copying books. Although he earned more than the average person, it was still hard money earned during his spare time after studying.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about the money. I've already paid it."

"When?" She kept following, but why didn't she see him pay?

Seeing her confused look, Jiang Ci smiled.

"I gave the waiter money when I sent him out just now."

Yan Shu originally wanted to return the money to him, but then he thought it was inappropriate.

All the money Jiang Ci earned was given to her for safekeeping. If she divided it so clearly, he would definitely feel uncomfortable as a man.

It would be more appropriate to convert the money into a gift and give it to him.

"Sister-in-law, rest for a while. I'll take you out if it's late."

"Okay, uncle, go get busy."
