After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

Qin Shu was surprisingly able to eat spicy food. She ate some and then said

"It tastes a bit too salty for me. Should I use less salt when cooking next time?"

Ye Rong took a bite and said

"Probably not. The flavors here in Lingbei are heavier. Our taste is light, so it's a bit salty. But for them, it might be just right."

So the plan of making spicy skewers was decided.

"Grandfather, grandmother, I have to go to my grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. I have to ask my third uncle and Wen Chuan to go and take care of the shop."

Ye Rong said with a smile

"Just go ahead and do your work. Let them do these things."

Jiang Sheng rushed back to the inner city before the locks were locked. Yuzhu suddenly said

"Miss, there is a market tonight, shall we go and take a look?"

This is one of the few times when there is no curfew, and they are all looking forward to it.

Jiang Sheng only remembered after she reminded him

"Then go ahead. It should have just started not long ago."

Although they didn't know which street they were on, they just walked towards the brightly lit area.

This brightly lit night scene is rare in normal times, so it is very easy to find.

The market in the inner city is quite large, and there are many small vendors around it.

When Bianjiang City was first built, all the good citizens and merchants here were kept in the inner city. They were no different from the residents of ordinary county towns, working from sunrise to sunset.

Later, more and more merchants came and went. Since the residents of the inner city were good citizens and free, they could leave at any time. Most of the merchants settled in the inner city, and the inner city became increasingly prosperous.

After years of development, this place can now be said to have integrated the cuisines from all over the world, and it is quite lively.

"Miss, isn't Jiangcheng just a place of exile for prisoners? Why does it attract so many businessmen?"

Jiang Sheng didn't understand at first, but later he understood after hearing He Ruolan's explanation.

“Although Bianjiang City is a place of exile, it is rich in mineral resources. The amount of iron ore discovered alone is astonishing, not to mention the gold and silver mines that have not been exposed.

These mines require manpower for mining, forging, transportation, and sales, so naturally they attract a lot of people.”

The north of the Ling Mountains is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also not as plagued by disasters as they are.

In the Jiangnan area, floods and earthworms occur frequently. Although the harvest season is only once a season in Lingbei, the weather is always good and the rice tastes much better than in the Jiangnan area.

Merchants are the best at discovering business opportunities, so they will naturally flock to them.

At this time, a vendor carrying a scarecrow passed by.

"Tanghulu is out! Selling Tanghulu!"

The red hawthorns, crystal clear, stuck on the scarecrow, instantly catch people's eyes.

Nanzhu looked at Yingyue and Yuzhu, who were about to drool, and resigned himself to taking out a few copper coins.

"Give me six."

Yuzhu and the others excitedly started to choose, and Yingyue did not forget to say

"Yes, I have to bring one to Xufeng. The kid has been studying so hard lately."

Whenever Xufeng wasn't accompanying Jiang Sheng on his medical visits, he would stay at home studying and wouldn't come out even if he was called.

Yingqiu gave Yingyue a

"Xu Feng is working hard. You haven't gotten up early to practice for a while, and the New Year is over. Why not start tomorrow?"

Yingyue had a bitter face and felt that the candied haws in her hand no longer tasted fragrant.

"But...I..."

Or did Jiang Sheng plead for her?

"Although Yingyue didn't practice, I don't think she slacked off. The Lantern Festival hasn't passed yet, so let her take a break."

Yingqiu could only nod after hearing this.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yingyue took Jiang Sheng's hand and said coquettishly

"Our lady is the best."

Jiang Sheng tapped her forehead

"Don't tease Xufeng in the future. If Yingqiu punishes you again, I won't care."

Yingyue said with a smile

"I see. I just saw that he was so lifeless all day long, so I wanted to tease him and make him happy."

Yingqiu snorted coldly

"It's not necessary."

Yingyue stuck out her tongue, said no more, and followed Yuzhu to walk to the front.

Yingqiu was afraid that Yingyue would get into trouble, so she followed her worriedly.

Nanzhu whispered beside him

"Miss, do you feel that they all seem to be particularly protective of Xu Feng now?"

Jiang Sheng glanced at her and smiled.

"You speak as if you are not yourself."

People are emotional, especially girls.

They have been together for such a long time, Xufeng is like their own brother, especially since he has such a tragic past. Xufeng now lacks some of his youthful vigor and is just as Yingyue said, lifeless.

He always works extra hard, and it seems that he can't find anything else to do besides these.

It's okay for them to tease and joke around as much as they want, but outsiders are not allowed to say a word.

Xu Feng also felt their protection, and when they got closer to him, his face would turn red when they teased him. If others dared to do so, he would kill them in a moment.

Nanzhu hesitated for a moment and said softly

"Miss, I saw the man who molested Yuzhu die in a mining accident. He was seriously injured, but he was tied with a colored rope for observation and placed in a corner. When he was found, he was already dead."

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly

"I know, if it's left outside, maybe it can be saved."

Once, Yuzhu accompanied her to the outer city for a medical consultation. When she went to buy something for her, she was stopped by this man. He made a few flirtatious remarks to her and wanted to attack her when he saw that she was alone.

Just when he was about to pull Yuzhu into the alley, Xufeng appeared in time.

Yuzhu said that Xufeng's eyes seemed to want to kill someone at that time, and she was afraid that Xufeng would do something impulsive, so she cursed the man harshly and pulled Xufeng away.

Nanzhu just didn't expect that after so many days, Xufeng would recognize him at a glance, and...

"As a doctor, he disregards other people's lives, but as a family member, I think there is nothing wrong with him protecting you. What if Xufeng hadn't shown up that day?

Everyone has selfish motives. You have been with me for so many years, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

That's why she concealed the matter at first.

"So you knew about this, Miss. You hate being deceived the most. I was afraid that you would blame Xu Feng if you knew about this in the future..."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"It looks like I'm going to fall out of favor in the future."

Nanzhu bowed his head and smiled

"The lady is joking again."

As they walked forward, they saw Yingyue seemed to have a conflict with someone. Jiang Sheng quickly stepped forward and heard Yingyue arguing with that person.

"How dare you accuse me of being unreasonable? We were the first to see this, yet you jumped out and paid for it. This is nothing but robbery!"

Yingqiu stood aside and did not stop them, thinking that Yingyue and the others were right.

This made Jiang Sheng feel more confident.

Jiang Sheng just stood in front of the boy and wanted to argue with him, when he saw a handsome young man

"What happened to Lin Jin?"
