Enter the Room

Song Jiuyun's eyes flashed slightly.

Who is this old woman?

Such a loud tone!

The thought flashed past, and the old woman had already thrown away the young girl's support and walked over in three steps at a time.

Sister-in-law Zhao Qishao rushed to greet her and said, "Auntie, why are you here?"

The old woman nodded, but her eyes fell directly on Song Jiyun.

Zhao Qisao saw her and said to the old woman, "This is Miss Li."

Then he said to Song Jiyun: "This is the great-uncle of our child. She is the most kind-hearted person. Women in the village like to ask her for help if they have anything to do."

Song Jiyun smiled, bent his knees, saluted the old woman, and called her "Lao An."

"Ouch!" the old woman laughed, "I don't dare take this seriously." Then she praised her, "I only heard that Miss Li came, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful!"

Everyone laughed.

The old woman looked around and said, "Where is Mr. Li? Why don't you see Mr. Li?"

"In the main room!" Zhao Qishao responded.

The old woman took Song Jiyun's hand into the main room.

Yuan Yunzhong was standing in the middle of the main room. He was tall and long-legged, with starry eyes and thin lips. He was so handsome that it made people look at him. Even the simple house didn't look so shabby.

The room was quiet for a few moments.

Everyone looked surprised.

The old woman even pushed Song Jiyun towards Yuan Yunzhong and said with a smile: "I just said, Miss Li is so beautiful, what kind of person is she worthy of Miss Li's infatuation? Now I see you Mr. Li, I understand. Mr. Li’s appearance, talents and knowledge are probably the only ones in Suzhou Prefecture, even if you look at Jiangnan."

As she said this, she took two steps back and couldn't help but praise: "Look! These two people stand together, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl. I have never seen anyone who is a better match than them!"

Everyone laughed playfully, said yes one after another, and started talking in twos and threes.

"I have never seen anyone as handsome as Mr. Li!"

"But handsome people have to live a good life! According to me, they should just stay here with us and get married as my aunt said. In a few years, when they go back with a few children, what else can they say at home? "

"Yes! Why go to Jingdezhen? The workshops in Jingdezhen need to be guaranteed by acquaintances. Jobs are not that easy to find."

"But Mr. Li and Miss Li's luggage and luggage were all taken away by the coachman. If they get married, all the pots, pans, beddings, and curtains will be purchased..."

"What's the matter? I'll give them the two beddings I prepared for my girls first."

"We have a new set of dishes at home."

"We have a new pair of pillowcases at home."

…

Everyone was talking a lot, as if they were going to get married here soon.

Song Jiyun was stunned and couldn't help but look towards Yuan Yunzhong.

Yuan Yunzhong looked indifferent, half-closing his eyes, looking unmoved.

Song Jiyun simply lowered his head shyly and let them discuss it.

The corner of Yuan Yunzhong's eye fell on the back of her neck.

The skin is as white and delicate as fresh snow, with a hint of crystal clearness.

Yuan Yunzhong's eyes were deep, his Adam's apple slipped, and he quickly looked away.

When the old woman saw it, a few gleams flashed in her eyes. She smiled and yelled at the women, "Okay," and said, "You all should stop saying a few words. Who is as shameless as you?"

Everyone covered their mouths with laughter.

The old woman then turned around and said to Yuan Yunzhong in embarrassment: "My lord, please forgive me! I am a country woman who has never seen much of the world, so I am rude!"

Yuan Yunzhong's expression remained unchanged and he nodded calmly.

The old woman introduced herself: "Zhao Wu, who is in charge of the village, is my son. The young master can draw, and we are in urgent need of someone who can draw. Originally, Zhao Wu should have come to talk to you about this matter to show his sincerity. . But Zhao Wu went out and would not be able to come back for four or five days, so I relied on my old age and came to see the young master.

"Young master, please stay and stay with us for a few more days. When Zhao Wu comes back, if you feel it's not suitable, it's not too late to leave."

This delaying tactic was used well.

They were afraid that what was waiting for them was the group of people chasing them!

Song Jiyun muttered in his heart.

Yuan Yunzhong refused without thinking: "I'm not ready to be a painter."

The old woman smiled slightly. He glanced at Song Jiyun and said with a smile: "It's a long way from here to Jingdezhen. How can you walk it? How can Miss Li, a charming young lady who has never traveled far and grew up in wealth and wealth, walk it?"

Yuan Yunzhong glanced at Song Jiyun's feet.

Song Jiyun immediately expressed his stance, gently pulled Yuan Yunzhong's sleeve, and whispered: "I, I can still walk!"

Yuan Yunzhong looked at her, his bright black eyes were as dark as the sea, making it difficult to see his thoughts.

Song Jiyun was stunned.

The old woman advised: "Mr. Li, Miss Li will listen to you in everything. You can't let Miss Li down!"

Yuan Yunzhong suddenly frowned, looked at Song Jiyun with some embarrassment, and said, "Do you want to stay here?"

Song Jiyun's mind was spinning rapidly, but his face was meek: "I can do anything, as long as I can be with the young master!"

She looked at her with her big eyes open, her eyes shining like a halo of admiration.

Yuan Yunzhong looked at her deeply, but said in a hesitant tone: "But you are in the mountains and forests! I promised you a good life!"

Song Jiyun hurriedly confessed: "But I want the young master to be happy even more. Only when the young master is happy can I feel at ease..."

But he was interrupted by the old woman's laughter.

She said: "Mr. Li, Miss Li, as the old saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you. Now that you have money, where can't you go?"

Yuan Yunzhong listened thoughtfully.

The old woman's expression was bright, and she continued: "Whose adults can handle children? If I were you, I would stay here for a few years, make money, and return home with my wife and children in fine clothes, even if I only stay at home for a while. I can’t accept it, but you also have money to buy a family business and support your children. Isn’t this better than anything else?”

Yuan Yunzhong fell into deep thought.

Song Jiyun couldn't help but murmured: "It's just that we have already written to my aunt, saying that we will arrive in the next two days. If we stay here like this, she will definitely send people to search everywhere. We can't break her promise!"

The old woman pondered: "How about you write another letter to your aunt."

Song Jiyun smiled bitterly and said: "My mother knew that I came to seek refuge with my aunt, so she tried to find a way to prevent the family from looking for me. If we had not been able to go to my aunt's house, I am afraid that my family would also be attracted here."

The old woman thought for a while and said, "Maybe you go back to Jingdezhen first and make arrangements with your family before coming over?"

Song Jiuyun asked weakly: "I wonder what kind of job this painting job is? What to paint? How long? Well, how do you settle the money? I met my aunt so that she wouldn't worry."

If you were not interested in this job at all, you would not ask so carefully.

The old woman became more and more certain that her strategy was working.

She smiled cheerfully and said, "We'll discuss the details of what to draw when you come. But I guarantee that Mr. Li can earn at least fifty taels of silver a month."

She also promised some good things such as lending money to them to get married and lending them a house to stay temporarily.
