"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Cheng Si raised his hand and knocked on the car window. Cheng Si originally wanted to chat with Miss Qumu through the car window.

"Are you looking for me?"

Cheng Si knocked on the window and listened to the movement in the car, and suddenly felt hot air coming from his ears.

Cheng Si suddenly took a big step back and turned to look at the car window. He saw Miss Qumu holding the car curtain with one hand and waving her other hand to say hello to Cheng Si.

Artu's eyebrows were bright and his smile was contagious. He greeted Cheng Si openly through the car window.

Looking at Qumu Atu's smile, Cheng Si suddenly felt his ears feel hot.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Cheng Si immediately lowered his eyes and stopped staring at Miss Qumu.

Cheng Si suddenly despised himself. Just now he...

Qumu Atu suddenly heard Cheng Si knocking on the car window, and then... he reached the car window and opened the curtain.

Seeing Cheng Si's reaction, Atu realized that she should imitate the ladies from the Central Plains Han people and talk softly to Cheng Si through the car window.

Atu originally wanted to lower the car curtains immediately, but when he saw Cheng Si lowering his head and not looking at him, the arrogance of the eldest daughter of the Qumu family suddenly emerged again.

Qumu Atu stepped out of the carriage in two steps, jumped down and walked to Cheng Si.

"You knocked on the window to say something!"

Cheng Si felt that he just blinked, and why did this little girl appear in front of him from the carriage.

"I know, you didn't spread the rumor intentionally! Dianzhou City is unsafe recently, you shouldn't go out alone!"

Cheng Si gathered his thoughts and remembered what he just wanted to say.

Qumu Atu suddenly smiled sweetly when he heard the concern in Cheng Si's words.

"I'm afraid you will misunderstand... that you will think... I want to marry you in this way!"

Cheng Si...

"Miss Qumu, it's better not to say such things again, lest it affect your reputation!"

"Miss Qumu, you'd better get on the carriage first! I'll take you back on the way back."

Cheng Si didn't want to continue this topic with Miss Qumu now. He was really afraid that Miss Qumu would say something shocking again.

Qumu Atu didn't quite understand whether Cheng Si really believed her, but it seemed that he still had a good attitude towards him and even said that he would send him home.

Then... Atu thought about whether he could say another thing?

"Cheng Si!"

Qumu Atu suddenly raised his voice and shouted Cheng Si!

"Ok?"

Cheng Si raised his head in confusion, glanced at Qumu Atu, and found that the girl Qumu seemed to have taken another big step in his direction.

Cheng Si looked at the girl Qumu who was a little too close to him, and reason told him that he should take a step back at this moment.

But...Cheng Si didn't move!

"They say that Han Chinese men in the Central Plains don't like women who are good at martial arts. My kung fu is very poor, so...it's all just tricks!"

"Miss Qumu, that's not a showmanship, it's a showmanship!"

"Besides, don't listen to those rumors! You have good martial arts and can protect yourself... very good!"

Cheng Si lowered his head when he spoke. Qumu Atu couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was no disgust in Cheng Si's tone.

Qumu Atu was so happy all of a sudden that he even wanted to sing a song loudly immediately, but Atu still controlled his emotions.

Artu suppressed his smile and said to Cheng Si.

"Then I'll go back to the carriage and wait. You can take me home in a moment!"

Without waiting for Cheng Si's response, Qumu Atu turned around and walked towards the carriage. Just after taking two steps, Atu seemed to remember something again, and he turned around suddenly.

The girl's smiling bright eyes happened to meet with Cheng Si's somewhat deep eyes that he had just raised.

"Then you have to stay by the carriage!"

"Ok!"

In the carriage going back, Qumu Atu continued chatting with Granny Yan in Chinese that he was not fluent in.

"Grandma Yan, what's the difference between the flower pattern and the flower stand? Aren't they the same kind of flower?"

Granny Yan didn't understand what Qumu Atu's question was for a moment, so Qumu recounted the conversation he had just had with Cheng Si to Granny Yan.

Cheng Si sat outside the carriage and it was too late to stop him.

Mrs. Yan, who figured out the problem, quickly explained to Atu what was a pretense and what was a pretense.

As a result, the conversation in the carriage successfully turned to the difference between the embroidery patterns in the Central Plains and those of the Baiyi people.

Cheng Si sat outside and breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. Cheng Si drove the carriage to the home of the Qumu clan leader. He planned to send Miss Qumu home first.

In fact, he should have sent Mrs. Yan and the midwife back to the government office first, but Cheng Si was a little frightened to send Miss Qumu home alone.

Mrs. Yan opened the car curtain and took a look outside. She lowered the curtain without saying anything and continued chatting with Miss Qumu.

In the study room in the front yard of Dianzhou Prefecture, Da Liu has been resting for a few days and has been watching Cheng Si and Cheng Wen busy. Da Liu is coming to pick up some errands today.

Mingjia has not yet received a reply from her master Xie Boyuan, and the Chinese New Year is coming in ten days, so she can only put aside the caravan affairs for the time being.

"Uncle Liu, there is something I want you to check for me."

Da Liu knew that Cheng Si and the others were very busy recently, "Master Mingjia, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions!"

Mingjia reached out and pulled out a piece of letter paper, and wrote a name on the paper with a pen.

"I would like to ask Uncle Liu to help me keep an eye on this person's family. It doesn't take too long, just before the Chinese New Year!"

Although Da Liu had just arrived in Dianzhou three to five days ago, Da Liu still knew about several officials in the Dianzhou government office.

Da Liu was a little surprised by the name Ming Jia wrote down, but Da Liu didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, my people have settled in the city. We will keep an eye on this person's family."

Mingjia asked Shuang'er to hand the purse she had prepared in advance to Da Liu. Da Liu and the others had always received their money from their master, Xie Boyuan, but now that they were working for themselves, Mingjia would also prepare one.

"This money is my New Year's gift to all my uncles. Uncle Liu also knows my family's situation, so I really don't have time to prepare New Year's gifts for everyone."

Seeing that Da Liu wanted to refuse the purse, Ming Jia quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

Hearing this, Da Liu had to swallow his rejection and reached out to take the purse.

"Master Mingjia, I heard from the fourth brother Cheng that Yan Niang is also a gangster. Do we need to investigate this matter?"

Da Liu was still thinking about the errand that Cheng Si had mentioned before, and asked Ming Jia worriedly.

"No, Yang Tingxuan's people are investigating, it's better for us to stay away!"

This is also what Ming Jia wants to tell Liu, to stay away from the people in Dingyuan Hou Mansion and not to expose himself until necessary.

Mingjia is still thinking about discussing cooperation with Yang Tingxuan next year, so Yang Tingxuan cannot be wary in advance.

Da Liu understood and stood up to walk out, but suddenly turned around and walked back.

"Master Mingjia, this is the middle of the twelfth lunar month. Didn't Shen Qi or the Duke's Mansion send someone to deliver New Year's gifts?"

Mingjia suddenly raised his head, yes!
