Chapter 234 What a handsome young man
Xue Qing closed the door and asked Liu quietly, "Do you really not mind what Grandpa Wu Qian is doing outside?"
Liu didn't expect Xue Qing to bring up that matter again. A hint of embarrassment flashed through her eyes, but she chose to be honest with Xue Qing: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention... Su Mei is gone..."
Xue Qing shook her head secretly. In her time, there was no so-called correct answer to such things, let alone the thoughts of women who grew up under the feudal system.
But Xue Qing still wanted to give her some mental preparation, so he continued, "What if, I mean, he takes another concubine?"
When Liu heard Xue Qing's words, she looked at her in surprise: "Qing'er, why do you say that? What do you know?"
Xue Qing lowered her eyes: "Yes, Li has always been in love with Grandpa Wu Qian. As for whether anything happened between them, I didn't see it, so I can't say anything."
Liu was shocked: "He just came back not long ago, how come they..."
Xue Qing analyzed to Liu: "They should have secretly developed feelings for each other for a long time," but you just didn't notice it.
Liu couldn't help but recall the past. They were very loving before coming to Anyang. After coming to Shilibao, so many things happened. At that time, Wu Tong often went out and she took care of the two children at home by herself.
Could it be that the two of them had an affair at that time?
Wu Tong was indeed gentle and elegant when he was young, and Wu Tong and Liu were also said to be a match made in heaven in terms of talent and beauty.
Xue Qing looked at Liu who was lost in thought, and silently poured a cup of tea for her and himself.
Liu's expression kept changing, but she finally calmed down: "Qing'er, thank you! I can't divorce him now."
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued slowly, "There are some things that cannot be revealed to him now."
Xue Qing nodded: "You make your own decision, but be careful."
"After I have arranged the pepper seedlings, I want to go out for a while."
When Liu heard this, her heart suddenly rose: "Qing'er, you...are you still going to leave?"
Xue Qing quickly explained: "You misunderstood, I just went out to see if there is any better business to do. If you are here, I will come back soon."
Liu's anxious heart finally settled down, and she remembered something and asked, "Where are you going as a woman?" What if something happens to her outside?
Xue Qing simply said to her directly: "I want to follow Brother Cheng's caravan to see if there is anything else that can be grown here."
Liu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had fallen in love with Cheng Niu?
"Qing'er, do you have to go?" Liu asked anxiously.
Xue Qing was somewhat surprised by Liu's reaction. She had thought that Liu would definitely support her.
"I must go," Xue Qing replied very affirmatively.
"Jiang Yi will take a while, let her accompany you."
Even if Xue Qing didn't let Jiang Yi follow, Jiang Yi would not stay.
"Don't worry, Sister Jiang will go with me."
On the second day, Xue Qing and Jiang Yi went to Youran Ju. They were still dressed in men's clothes, and walking on the street today actually caused passers-by to whisper.
"I don't know when such a handsome boy appeared."
"Which tribe's young master has come to Anyang City?"
Since the last time the original owner came, this body has undergone very obvious changes. Not only is it more agile, but the original roughness and spots on the face are also gone.
When Shopkeeper Xie saw Xue Qing in the back hall, he was also stunned.
Then he immediately bowed and saluted Xue Qing, because now she was his investment boss!
Xue Qing immediately gave Shopkeeper Xie a helping hand and said, "Shopkeeper Xie, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
"This is the account book for last month. Please have a look at it!" Shopkeeper Xie held the account book in front of Xue Qing very respectfully.
Xue Qing took the account book, opened it, and looked at it quickly. Ever since she taught Shopkeeper Xie a new accounting method last time, she now used her method, so everything seemed to be going smoothly for her.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xue Qing closed the account book and said, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper!"
Shopkeeper Xie stood up and said, "The boss is considerate!"
Xue Qing suddenly laughed and said, "Manager Xie, are we going to become strangers?"
She also stood up with an upright posture. Shopkeeper Xie also discovered at this time that Xue Qing had grown a lot taller, and dressed in men's clothes with the demeanor of a young master from an aristocratic family.
"Manager Xie, please take a seat!" Xue Qing held Manager Xie's arm and asked him to sit down.
Shopkeeper Xie was very pleased. Although Xue Qing was now the boss of Youran Ju, Shopkeeper Xie had valued Xue Qing very much since they had known each other. Now that she was the boss of Youran Ju, he believed that Youran Ju would be even better with Xue Qing.
Shopkeeper Xie hurriedly said, "You are now the owner of Youranju, and the rules cannot be violated."
Xue Qing also sat back in the main seat: "Thank you, Shopkeeper. I wonder if we can use the term "friendship regardless of age" to describe our relationship. Although I am now the boss of Youranju, Youranju still depends on you to steer the ship!"
Xue Qing's words made Shopkeeper Xie feel very relieved.
At this time, Xue Qing also told Shopkeeper Xie about her idea of going out with the caravan, and then asked Shopkeeper Xie to help her get a pass.
Shopkeeper Xie was secretly shocked, but he still agreed very readily.
Xue Qing said goodbye to Shopkeeper Xie and took Jiang Yi to Cheng's house.
Old Madam Cheng liked Xue Qing even more when she saw her changed appearance. When she heard that Xue Qing was going to go to the Western Regions with Cheng Niu's caravan, she was very surprised. After all, they could take this opportunity to spend more time together.
But I also felt a little distressed, after all, she was a woman: "Qing'er, a caravan going to the Western Regions is not only extremely hard, but also dangerous!"
Xue Qing comforted Madam Cheng, "Don't worry, Madam. I know a little bit of Kung Fu now, and we have Sister Jiang and Brother Cheng here. Don't worry, we will definitely come back safe and sound."
Cheng Niu had just heard that Xue Qing was going to go to the Western Regions with him on a caravan, and he felt a little impressed, but since she was a woman after all, there would be many inconveniences.
But after all, she is my son's savior, and I will do my best to protect her.
Xue Qing assured Cheng Niu: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, Sister Jiang and I will follow your instructions on the way and try not to cause you any trouble!"
Cheng Niu laughed wildly: "Haha, sister, just follow Brother Cheng with confidence. Even if you get into trouble, Brother Cheng can help you solve it."
The two agreed that Xue Qing and Jiang Yi would still dress as men. With two more people, Cheng Niu would have to report to the caravan's chief manager, who would also be the captain.
In order to ensure the smooth operation and safe transportation of goods, the ancient caravans were clearly divided into the following groups: the captain, who was responsible for the overall planning and management of the caravan operations, as well as overall decision-making, including route selection, goods allocation, personnel management, etc.
