Ling Zhouyang discovered that something was wrong with Qian Zhao ever since he said goodbye to Aunt Chen.
Although he usually doesn't talk much, he was too silent today.
Ling Zhouyang stretched out her hand to Qian Zhao's forehead: "Qian Zhaozhao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qian Zhao shook his head: "No, aren't you angry?"
Ling Zhouyang was stunned for a moment: "Angry? You mean they arranged my affairs."
"I'm not angry. It's not worth getting angry for irrelevant people. Besides, I still have a little guy in my belly, so I just want to do some good deeds for this little guy."
Looking at Qian Zhao's face, she then thought: "Are you angry?"
Qian Zhao didn't refute, but he was angry with himself.
Ling Zhouyang smiled and said: "Qian Zhaozhao, don't be angry, just think that you are envious of me for having enough food and clothing at such a young age and not having to go out to work."
Qian Zhao nodded and said, "Just wait for me at home while I go out."
Ling Zhouyang: "Then go ahead and remember to come back and cook for me."
Qian Zhao responded softly: "Okay."
Half an hour later.
Ling Zhouyang was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, when suddenly a carriage stopped at the door of her courtyard.
The coachman got off the carriage and stood at the door, looking at Ling Zhouyang and asking, "Is this Miss Shanglu's home?"
Ling Zhouyang didn't stand up and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
The groom bowed and replied: "A young master named Qian Zhao asked me to give you something."
Ling Zhouyang was a little confused: "What are you sending? What about the others? Didn't they come back together?"
Groom: "Master Qian Zhao asked us to deliver it first. He said he would be back soon."
Ling Zhouyang nodded: "I'm heavy, so I'll ask you to help me move it, and I'll pay you for it."
Groomman: "Master Qian Zhao has already paid his dues, and the wages have been settled."
Hearing this, Ling Zhouyang said with a smile: "Then just move to the yard."
"yes."
Then the groom returned to the carriage, and when the carriage started to move, people started moving things into the yard one after another.
While moving things, many people gathered around Lingzhouyang’s courtyard.
"Miss Shangluca is a doctor, how can he be so rich?"
"Who knows if she is a real doctor? You see, she was pregnant when she first came to Yumian Town. Her bun is indeed the style of an unmarried girl. Maybe..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I also saw a doctor from Miss Phytophthora. If I see you on the same day, I'll be fine on the same day. She must be a doctor."
"Tell me which doctor can buy so many fine cloths and so many jewelry? I guess most of them are doing that kind of thing. I don't know who is pregnant with her."
"That's right. She can buy this small courtyard near the river at such a young age. She may have earned her money through her appearance."
"I think so. With her foxy look, she might be just like the girl in Chunfeng Tower."
A young woman wearing light gray coarse cloth spat at the noisy people and said, "Bah, I'm too lazy to tell you talkative women, the pokeweed girl is not that kind of person."
"Old Yu's family, what do you mean? She is from a girl's family. Do you think someone really came to see her for medical treatment? You are the only one who believes in her lies."
Zhou Guixiang put her hands on her hips and shouted: "What happened to the girl's family? Can't the girl be self-reliant? Anyway, she cured my grandma's illness. You guys, please don't arrange things for me day by day, or you will suffer retribution."
"Bah, your family just got retribution. That loser of yours keeps running here every day. Maybe he will do that kind of thing in the future."
Zhou Guixiang: "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful I'll pull out your tongue!"
The originally empty courtyard has now become smaller, but Ling Zhouyang is in an inexplicably good mood.
It's not that she couldn't hear the sounds outside, she was just too lazy to pay attention to them.
Afraid that Zhou Guixiang would really get into a fight with someone, Ling Zhouyang had no choice but to shout loudly: "Sister-in-law of the Yu family, come in, there's no need to talk to them so much."
When Zhou Guixiang heard Lingzhouyang calling her, her aura dropped, and she spat at the women with long tongues before walking into Lingzhouyang's yard.
"Miss Shangluca, don't listen to their nonsense. Our family has seen your character and medical skills with our own eyes. They are just jealous."
Ling Zhouyang covered her mouth and smiled: "They can say whatever they like. No matter what, I just live a better life than them."
Zhou Guixiang was stunned for a moment: "You're not angry when they say that to you?"
Ling Zhouyang: "I'm not angry, so Auntie Yu, you don't have to be angry on my behalf."
Zhou Guixiang: "I'm just angry that they arrange things every day. Those gossips will be punished sooner or later."
Ling Zhouyang patted the chair next to her and motioned for Zhou Guixiang to sit down.
"You also said that they will be punished sooner or later, so why be angry."
Zhou Guixiang sighed: "You are the benefactor of our family. How can we see you being arranged like this? What's more, they are wrong in the first place. Why do women have to rely on men to live?"
Ling Zhouyang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right, they are short-sighted, why do you need to be angry with them? It's not good to make yourself angry."
Zhou Guixiang calmed down the anger in her chest: "I'm not angry, I'm not on the same level as them."
…
Yumian Town, under the locust tree of Linjiang River.
Wang Po: "Look at the one from Lao Yu's house. I didn't say anything about her. Instead, she screamed as if her tail had been stepped on."
Aunt Li: "I think she must have taken advantage of that little girl, so she said good things to her again and again."
Aunt Zhang: "And her Yu Wan, maybe she was sent to learn those charming tricks to seduce people."
"That's right, otherwise why would she be so excited?"
The chatterbox opened again, and several talkative women gathered under the locust tree to discuss.
Qian Zhao was wearing an indigo brocade robe with dark patterns, a dark blue auspicious cloud pattern girdle tied around his waist, and a carved jade pendant hanging on it. His black hair was tied up high and fixed with a white jade hair crown.
He walked under the locust tree carrying chicken, duck and fish in one hand and vegetables in the other.
"Hey, look, whose young master is that? I don't think I've ever seen him so handsome."
"I haven't seen him either. He doesn't look like he's from our town. Instead, he looks like he's from the city."
"I know everyone in this town. I have never seen Mr. Liu, the young master of the Lin family."
"He is still carrying vegetables in his hand. Which young master needs to cook for himself?"
"In case someone likes it, he is wearing the best materials from Jinxiu Pavilion in the city, and the clothes hanging on his waist and hair are from Qiansong Pavilion. Who would buy them if they don't have money?"
"Yes, yes, why don't we go over there and have a look? Maybe it's the young man from the city who is here to play. If he's flattering..."
"You don't have a girl at home, how can you fawn over her?"
"Don't you guys have it? Call me quickly. If the young master takes a fancy to this, he will be given dozens of taels of silver at least."
"Yes, yes, come home and call the girl."
"Aunt Li, please stay with us. We will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, except for Aunt Li, everyone else ran home quickly.
