98 Of Course It Was
Lin Xiujuan was overjoyed that her son was willing to study and even said that he wanted to take the imperial examination and beco a high-ranking official.
After Liu Fengfeng ran away, she chuckled and said, “Little Li is the smartest!”
Lin Xiujuan now had an inexplicable trust in Zhou Xiaoli.
Anyway, as long as Zhou Xiaoli is with her, she would feel that only good things would happen.
!!
As everyone chatted and laughed, the afternoon passed.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu set off for the county city.
Wei Chiyu’s friend lived in Old Qin Alley within Gonggu Alley in the east of the city.
Therefore, they went straight to the eastern side after they had entered the city.
There were several alleys in Gonggu Alley in the east of the city. Many families lived there, big and small.
After the donkey cart slowly entered Gonggu Alley, they could still see many small shops on the street. There were grain and oil shops, pork shops, tofu houses, and so on.
This was the first ti Zhou Xiaoli had co to Gonggu Alley. She was very attracted by the bustling scene in front of her, so she took a few more glances.
Noticing Zhou Xiaoli’s interest in the shops, Wei Chiyu deliberately slowed the donkey cart down.
Zhou Xiaoli sighed in contentnt as she watched, “Hey, Wei Chiyu, this street is quite prosperous.”
It was sowhat like a modern pedestrian shopping street. Although she was a small koi in her previous life, she also loved to shop.
Wei Chiyu nodded. “That’s right. There are many people here. Over ti, many businesses ford. When you co back later, you can go shopping.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes lit up and she imdiately nodded. “Alright, then let’s buy the apprenticeship gift here.”
As the two of them spoke, the donkey cart stopped at the entrance of a teahouse.
Wei Chiyu said that when his friend was free, he would always be at the teahouse. It was better to look for him at the teahouse than at ho.
Zhou Xiaoli nodded, but in her heart, she was thinking that his friend must have loved tea a lot.
As they spoke, the two of them entered the teahouse one after another.
It was indeed one of the important places to gather information as shown in the novels and television shows.
This teahouse was crowded and rowdy.
Three to five people sat together at each table, munching on peanuts as they chatted.
Further in was a stage. At this mont, a storyteller was telling an interesting story about the martial arts heroes.
The audience below cheered at the right ti. It was very lively.
As soon as Zhou Xiaoli and the other man walked in, the waiter ran over and greeted them.
Wei Chiyu looked around the teahouse and said to the waiter, “I’m looking for soone.”
At the sa ti, a burly man in a gray gown also noticed them. He stood up and waved at them. “Big Brother, over here!”
As he spoke, he walked over and said happily, “Brother, what a coincidence. Why are you free to co to the teahouse for tea?”
Half of his face was covered by his thick beard, and he had a booming voice. Looking at his speech and movents, there was a hint of recklessness.
Wei Chiyu shook his head. “It’s not a coincidence, I’m here to look for you.”
That person was instantly excited. He imdiately patted his chest and said, “Did soone offend Big Brother? Big Brother, let know. I’ll bring people to teach him a lesson!”
Wei Chiyu waved his hand. “No, I’m asking for your help. Let’s sit down and talk.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Xiaoli.
Only then did that person notice Zhou Xiaoli, who was standing at the side. He could not help but scratch his head and smile in embarrassnt. “Yes, yes, let’s sit first.”
As he spoke, he ran to his seat and pushed the peanut shell on the table to the side before asking Wei Chiyu and Zhou Xiaoli to sit down.
“This is Miss Zhou, right?”
As soon as he sat down, that person asked casually.
Zhou Xiaoli glanced at him, doubtful of how he knew her, but she nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
“Haha, my na is Li Da. Everyone calls Bighead. Miss Zhou, you can also call Bighead like Big Brother does.”
Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but smile. She had a good impression of this bearded man. She nodded and introduced herself, “My na is Zhou Xiaoli.”
Li Da imdiately said, “I know, I know. I often hear Big Brother talk about you. Miss Zhou is really pretty. You’re even more beautiful than that official’s daughter. No wonder Big Brother always talks about you.”
Wei Chiyu coughed.
Li Da couldn’t help but look at Wei Chiyu. He imdiately chuckled and shut his mouth.
Zhou Xiaoli was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Wei Chiyu and saw that his expression was the sa as usual. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly before saying lightly, “Let’s get down to business. It’s like this…”
Hence, Wei Chiyu briefly explained their purpose for coming. Finally, he said, “We don’t have any workers to help us now. Didn’t you know many people in the construction business? Can you help us find so workers?”
Upon hearing this, Li Da imdiately patted his chest. “I thought it was sothing big. Just leave this matter to . I guarantee that I’ll find the workers for you tomorrow.”
Upon hearing that the workers could be found tomorrow, Zhou Xiaoli imdiately thanked him. “Thank you so much. We don’t need a lot. Just seven or eight people will be enough.”
After being thanked by Zhou Xiaoli, Li Da smiled in embarrassnt. “You don’t have to thank . I’m willing to do anything for my big brother. This is just a small matter. It’s nothing.”
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but laugh.
It seed that Wei Chiyu held a lot of weight in Li Da’s heart.
After the matter was settled, they exchanged a few more words before Wei Chiyu left.
Li Da was very reluctant that his big brother was leaving. “Big Brother, you’ve only been here for a while and you’re already leaving. We haven’t even talked properly.”
...
Wei Chiyu said, “We still have things to do. Next ti, I’ll drink with you.”
When he heard about drinking, Li Da’s eyes lit up. He imdiately said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you. We won’t go ho until we’re drunk!”
“Definitely.” Wei Chiyu nodded.
With that, he stood up.
—
After walking out of the teahouse, Wei Chiyu went to get the donkey cart.
When he ca over, Zhou Xiaoli rembered Li Da’s words and teased, “Hey, Wei Chiyu, Li Da said that you often talk about . What did you tell him about ?”
Wei Chiyu had just sat on the donkey cart when he heard Zhou Xiaoli’s question. He was stunned and cursed Li Da in his heart.
Seeing that Wei Chiyu was silent and his ears were slightly red, the little devil in Zhou Xiaoli’s heart began to stir. She couldn’t help but lean over and tease him. “Hey, Wei Chiyu, I’m asking you a question. Why do you always talk about ? Ah, could it be that I’m so perfect that you can’t help yourself but to fall in love with ?”
When Zhou Xiaoli suddenly leaned in close to him, Wei Chiyu’s heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a sly look in Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes.
His eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up. This little girl was having fun teasing him. Was she addicted to it?
...
He had to teach her a lesson.
Thinking of this, his eyes deepened. He looked into Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes seriously and said affectionately, “Of course.”
When Wei Chiyu turned around, the two of them were very close to each other. And now, Wei Chiyu admitted that he had feelings for her in such an affectionate manner.
Moreover, the way he looked at her was so deep that it seed as if he wanted to suck her in. Zhou Xiaoli was imdiately embarrassed.
She jumped away and blushed. “You, you’re spouting nonsense. What nonsense are you talking about…”
At this mont, Wei Chiyu’s voice rang out again, “Of course it’s because your cooking is delicious.”
