Chapter 21 Shopping with Xu Zhinian
At that same time, Cheng Wan appeared at the door of Jia Sheng's courtyard, waiting for Jia Sheng to take the bullock cart out of his courtyard.
"Cheng Wan, our village will start harvesting wheat tomorrow. My family has to use an oxcart to pull the wheat, so..."
Cheng Wan smiled at Jia Sheng and said, "I understand, Grandpa Sheng."
"Cheng Wan."
Cheng Wan, who was driving the bullock cart with his back to Jia Sheng, turned around in confusion, "Grandpa Sheng?"
Jia Sheng walked to the side of the bullock cart and looked at Cheng Wan.
"Cheng Wan, you are a good boy and a good girl. If you hear any unpleasant gossip in the village, don't talk to them."
Cheng Wan was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Jia Sheng turned around and went home.
Cheng Wan turned to look at Jia Sheng's back as he returned home, and said to himself, "Whether it's because he really thinks I'm good, or because he wants the village to live in peace, this village chief's brother is a person he can often hang out with."
county seat.
Xu Zhinian sat in the carriage and watched through the window that Cheng Wan had finally finished his work, got off the carriage and walked towards Cheng Wan.
"Cheng Wan."
Cheng Wan smiled at Xu Zhinian, "Are you anxious about waiting? I told you to go home a long time ago, so you have to wait here."
Xu Zhinian's voice was soft, "I came out late today, and you said that you might not come to the county for a while. I didn't think that after you finish your work, we can go shopping in the county together, or I welcome you to my home if you wish."
Speaking of visiting as a guest, Xu Zhinian's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Xu Zhinian didn't know how to explain her identity to Cheng Wan. He couldn't just tell her out of nowhere that she was the daughter of the county magistrate.
If Cheng Wan is willing to visit her home, she can introduce herself by the way.
"Let's go shopping for a while."
Cheng Wan is still self-aware.
Xu Zhinian likes her and is willing to be friends with her, but that doesn't mean Xu Zhinian's family will welcome her.
Moreover, Cheng Wan simply liked Xu Zhinian.
Ever since Xu Zhinian came over, Cheng Erniu had been very reserved and pretended to be a wooden person next to him.
At this time, when he heard that Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian were going shopping, he hurriedly said: "Ah Wan, then I will wait for you at the bullock cart?"
Cheng Wan nodded, "I'll go to the bullock cart in about half an hour, and my second uncle can also go shopping. Whoever finishes first will wait for the other at the bullock cart."
Cheng Erniu looked at Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian's leaving figures, and his body that had been tense and uncomfortable finally relaxed.
Although Xu Zhinian has always been kind, Cheng Erniu knew in his heart that Xu Zhinian and the Cheng family were not of the same class at all.
Cheng Erniu was puzzled as to why Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian could get along so naturally and even casually.
At this time, besides Cheng Erniu, there was another person who was also watching the leaving figures of Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian.
It's Mrs. Xu.
Although Xu Zhinian praised Cheng Wan very much, the maid Chunwen also said that Xu Zhinian and Cheng Wan met on Xu Zhinian's initiative.
But as a mother, Mrs. Xu must see the friend her daughter mentioned with her own eyes before she can feel at ease.
So not long after Xu Zhinian left the house today, Mrs. Xu came out with others.
In a carriage at the corner.
The mother next to Mrs. Xu whispered to Mrs. Xu: "Madam, we have been observing her for a long time, and Miss Cheng doesn't look like a bad person."
Mrs. Xu put down the car curtain in her hand and chuckled, "My son has a good eye for making friends. Okay, let's go back."
Here, Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian happily strolled around the county town.
Although Cheng Wan visited the county town many times, this was the first time that Cheng Wan visited the county town without any purpose or pressure.
The two of them looked here and there, shopping around a lot, but didn't buy anything.
Until the two of them walked into Linglong Pavilion.
Xu Zhinian held Cheng Wan's arm and whispered to Cheng Wan: "The best place to sell rouge and gouache in the county is Linglong Pavilion, and Linglong Pavilion is not only found in our county, but also in other places."
When the little maid in the store saw someone entering the store, she stepped forward to greet him with a smile on her face.
Chun Wen, who was following Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian, immediately waved his hand to the little maid, and the little maid went to receive the other female guests sensibly.
Xu Zhinian picked up a small porcelain jar and introduced it to Cheng Wan, "This is the best facial oil in Linglong Pavilion, and it is what I often use. Smell it, does it smell good?"
Cheng Wan took the small porcelain jar, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It really smells good, and the pattern on this porcelain jar is also very beautiful."
"Do you like it? I'll buy it for you."
Cheng Wan looked up at Xu Zhinian.
Cheng Wan saw the anxiety, expectation, and liking for her in Xu Zhinian's eyes.
Seeing Xu Zhinian like this, the smile on Cheng Wan's face widened inch by inch, and the smiles in his eyes overflowed layer by layer.
Cheng Wan thought: "I may really have a best friend in ancient times."
"like!"
When Xu Zhinian heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face, and then he quickly covered his mouth with a veil in a reserved manner.
Cheng Wan had intended to give the pair of pearl earrings in the express cabinet to Xu Zhinian, but now she really couldn't find a suitable reason to take them out. It couldn't be said that she was taking them with her.
The pair of pearl earrings are extremely beautiful. The two pearls are round and glowing softly. The nails and earplugs are made of silver. Even in modern times, they are liked by many girls.
In this ancient time, it was a rare treasure.
I went to the pawn shop to pawn the gold necklace and silver bracelet that night, but I didn't want to pawn it. I wanted to save it and find the right time to give it to Wang or wear it myself.
But now, Cheng Wan wanted to give this pair of pearl earrings to Xu Zhinian in return for Xu Zhinian's sincerity in treating her.
"Next time we meet, I'll give you a gift."
Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian waited for Chunwen to pay the money.
At this time, a girl in purple came in from outside.
The girl was extremely eager as soon as she saw Xu Zhinian.
"Ms. Xu, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."
Xu Zhinian nodded slightly, with a decent and distant smile on his face, "Miss Song."
The full name of the girl called Miss Song is Song Yiyi, and she is the daughter of the Cheng family in this county.
Song Yiyi has been taught by her father to have a good relationship with Xu Zhinian, not only because Xu Zhinian's father is the magistrate of this county, but also because Xu Zhinian's uncle is the governor of Anling County in the north.
Xu Zhinian's father has such an uncle. If nothing else, he will definitely be promoted in the future.
There are regulations in this dynasty that when a county magistrate is promoted, he can recommend his subordinate officials to take the position of county magistrate.
Once this recommendation is made, the possibility of the subordinates successfully rising to the top will be greatly increased.
Song Yiyi had intended to make friends with Xu Zhinian in the past, but the times she could see Xu Zhinian were too few.
Song Yiyi really didn't expect to meet Xu Zhinian in Linglong Pavilion today.
Song Yiyi glanced at Cheng Wan next to Xu Zhinian, and wondered: "Who is this? He is so thin and has a good face, but he is dressed like this, and he doesn't look like a daughter of some family."
"This young lady looks unfamiliar. I wonder which family she is from? Tell me so that I can get to know her."
Cheng Wan nodded politely to Song Yiyi, "My surname is Cheng. I come from an ordinary family. I am not a young lady from any family."
Xu Zhinian added: "She is my good friend."
After paying the money, Chunwen came over holding an exquisite small wooden box, "Miss, Miss Cheng."
Xu Zhinian nodded slightly towards Song Yiyi, "Miss Song, let's say goodbye first."
Song Yiyi stood there and watched Xu Zhinian and the others leave.
Song Yiyi's maid whispered: "Miss Xu is going too far. She would rather be friends with that kind of person than make friends with the young lady. Isn't the young lady a hundred times better than that person?"
The maid's tone was quite indignant.
Song Yiyi naturally felt uncomfortable, with a vague expression of dissatisfaction on her face, and then she said in frustration: "Forget it, it's not up to us to decide who Miss Xu wants to be friends with, so don't cause trouble for yourself. "
