Chapter 20 Flattery slapped on the horse’s leg
"It's better for a man to be open and generous. It's great that you can figure it out. Is the wound on your head healed?"
He glanced at the cloth wrapped around Jiang Youzhen's head. There was some blood on it, which made him look miserable and pitiful.
"Okay, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. I have to thank the village head, if it weren't for his help yesterday, we wouldn't have been able to separate our families!"
When Jiang Youzhen said this, his tone was full of gratitude.
"Grandpa said it was just a small favor, you don't have to take it to heart."
As Tong Huaian spoke, he picked up a piece of cake from the white porcelain plate, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
"Why is this cake so sweet?" He called Xiaowu and said, "Throw this cake away later. I don't eat sweet things."
"Ah?" Xiao Wu was puzzled. The young master never touched the cakes in the carriage. In fact, it was just a decoration. However, this date cake was Da Huang's favorite.
"Master..."
"Why did you throw it away? What a waste."
Jiang Youzhen looked at him eagerly, this young master really doesn't know how expensive food and fuel are until he takes charge of the household!
Those who waste food should be struck by lightning!
Thinking that this man was the one who killed the original owner in the book, Jiang Youzhen felt that the handsome face looked eerie no matter how he looked at it.
"Oh! Do you like it? Then try it?" Tong Huaian pushed the porcelain plate of pastries forward.
"This? How embarrassing is this?"
Xiao Wu sneered, this kid is really getting too far.
Look! He could hear the slurred voices from inside even as he sat on the shaft of the cart.
"It tastes okay, but a little sweet. If Master Tong doesn't want to eat it, I can help you with this too?"
Jiang Youzhen ate while complaining in his heart, this rich family makes cakes with great care! One piece is not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth.
It would be fine if you said you didn't like it, but you even took a bite of it. What a waste.
After I finished the two pieces of food, a cup of tea was pushed over to me.
Jiang Youzhen was choking and took the glass without thinking and drank it all.
Then he just looked up and saw the other person's eyes filled with smiles.
"Hehe! Master Tong is such a good person! Why didn't I notice it before? You are so handsome, like a reincarnated Pan An!"
While he's not together with the heroine yet, she takes this opportunity to gain some favor from him so that she can still show some consideration for him in the future.
"A handsome man, a reincarnation of Pan An?"
Tong Huaian looked at Jiang Youzhen, with a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
"Wasn't that the one that was sung on the stage at the entrance of the village last month? I think it suits you very well. Look at you! With your looks, figure, and temperament, people would believe you were a royal nobleman."
Jiang Youzhen spread her hands. She was confident that her flattery would win the other party's favor.
"Oh? Have you ever met a prince or a noble?"
He was still smiling, but Jiang Youzhen always felt that he was smiling with his lips but not his heart.
"Oh! Hasn't it been performed on stage? The costumes are so nice."
Jiang Youzhen smiled after he finished speaking, thinking to himself, "Oh! This is really a case of flattery hitting the horse's leg."
It seems that the original work is well written. This person is a smiling tiger and is extremely suspicious.
Doubting this and that all day long.
You just say you haven't entered the court yet! The political conspiracy hasn't even started yet, and you're not even a scholar yet.
Do you still suspect that others have ulterior motives towards you? Do you think too highly of yourself?
She should just shut up! This person is not easy to get along with, so just cling to his thighs.
"I remember you used to call me Brother Tong? Why do you feel so distant now?" Tong Huaian suddenly smiled gently again.
Jiang Youzhen waved his hands, "I was ignorant before, so how can I be worthy of you?"
Xiaowu outside the car suddenly curled his lips and said, "You are quite self-aware."
"We are from the same village. I am really sad when you say that. Please call me Brother Tong from now on! Calling me Young Master is too distant."
Jiang Youzhen was immediately mesmerized by his voice. This man's voice was even more pleasant when he spoke softly.
Her eyes swept over his hand holding the teacup, which was white, slender, and with distinct joints.
Oh my! This guy really has everything she likes, and she is also a hand control!
Okay! She admitted that she was a pure pervert! She just loved beauty!
However, she will not be dazzled by beauty.
What should the heroine do if her man, called Brother Tong, becomes jealous of her?
How come she remembered that the original heroine called him Brother Tong? She called him so tactfully and affectionately, and since then Tong Huaian said that this was her exclusive name for him.
Later, when he met the original owner, he repeatedly told him not to call him that.
Jiang Youzhen didn't respond, but he didn't care. He asked, "Why are you going to town?"
"Don't I have to make money? We can't even afford to eat at home." Jiang Youzhen touched his stomach, at least he was half full.
Tong Huaian glanced at her cracked hands, and the suspicion in his eyes disappeared and then fell on her face.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "Not yet! I don't have any skills, I'll go take a look first."
"Then when will you be back? I will stay in town until around 3 p.m. If you can wait in time, you can take my carriage back."
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "Master Tong, you don't have to wait for me. I don't know when I will be back."
By then, she would have to find a way to take out some of the rewards from the system and bring them back. Tong Huaian was so smart, who knew if he would suspect anything?
I would rather hire a bullock cart to take me back, which would just cost a little more money.
The carriage suddenly fell silent. Perhaps because it was too warm, Jiang Youzhen felt a little drowsy.
Suddenly, after an unknown amount of time, a prompt sounded from the system, waking her up from her sleep.
[Sign-in location: Yang'an Town, please go there to sign in! ]
Ouch! How did she fall asleep?
Jiang Youzhen sat up suddenly and found that he was wearing a fox fur coat.
The cold wind blowing in from the carriage made the snow-white fur fluffy, but why was there a black spot at the corner? She was immediately startled.
"Oh! Why is it dirty?" Jiang Youzhen looked at Tong Huaian and found that he was indeed only wearing a coat.
"Oh! Don't catch a cold, why did you put it on me?"
How precious is it? Jiang Youzhen quickly put the fox fur on Tong Huaian.
If Tong Huaian catches a cold, won’t Xiaowu eat her?
"Whoa~" Xiaowu's voice came from outside the carriage, "Master, we're in town now. Should we still stop in front of the Hongyun Restaurant?"
Jiang Youzhen didn't expect Xiaowu to brake suddenly, and she lost her balance and fell on Tong Huaian.
"Ouch!" Jiang Youzhen cried out, and suddenly he felt his body go limp, and his chin hit his hard chest.
When she looked again, she saw that the man was being pressed under her. A cool fragrance of plum blossoms came from her, making her a little dazed.
The two of them stared at each other. Tong Huaian was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
What happened to the hand on his chest? And why did it feel so soft just now?
It was not until Jiang Youzhen hurriedly got up that he suddenly felt that he was overthinking.
"Master Tong, I really didn't mean it. Get up quickly."
I secretly complained: "Scholars are so weak that they can't even tie up a chicken. Look! You can't even bear me, a person weighing only 60 or 70 kilograms."
