Chapter 3 The Jade Pendant and the Story
On the autumn night, the breeze is gentle and the shadows of trees are shaking. The bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dim, and the insects are chirping, and the tranquility is tranquility.
This is the night that Liang Yinqi is familiar with, just like the countryside. She relaxed comfortably unconsciously, supported her elbows by the window, pressed her palm against her cheek, and hummed a few songs gently.
Jiang Heng was driving in a bad voice. Without any effort, he heard the vague and trivial singing from the carriage, and couldn't help but bend his eyes: "I'm in a good mood?"
Liang Yinqi refused to deny: "It's done."
Jiang Heng was quiet properly. Liang Yinqi fell asleep in the rustling sound of insects and the sound of rutting gradually moving forward.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon. She slept hardly peacefully.
Liang Yinqi lifted the curtain of the car, Jiang Heng turned around, and now two black green pieces were yawning: "We'll arrive in Xucheng soon."
Seeing his exhausted appearance, Liang Yinqi rarely felt reluctant to hold on. She sat beside Jiang Heng, took a little forward and rushed him in: "Go in and take a rest, I'll come with the rest of the way."
Jiang Heng paused his hand, turned his head to look at the girl rubbed her eyes, patted her cheeks, lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, without refusing, and went into the carriage.
As Jiang Heng said, less than an hour later, the carriage drove into Xucheng. Before entering the city, Liang Yinqi deliberately stopped the car and pretended to feed the horses. After observing for a while, he saw that the people were in and out of the way, he drove in with confidence.
There is a newly paved gravel road in the city. Jiang Heng was awakened and poked his head out to look around. Seeing that it was already inside the capital, he asked, "Do you better find an inn to rest first?"
"When are you going to leave?"
Liang Yinqi did not answer the question. She was already optimistic about an inn with a signboard not far away, and moved forward with clear goals: "You should separate sooner or later, you should make plans early."
Jiang Heng responded vaguely, and pulled the rope back from her hand: "This kind of thing must be safe when you think about it. Let's go have a meal first."
The two arrived at the inn, settled the carriage, and sat down at the lobby. Liang Yinqi ordered three steamed buns and two soup dishes.
She took a steamed bun and broke it in half, put it back on the plate, took another one and stuffed it into the mouth, and announced: "I'll eat one first, not enough to eat half."
Jiang Heng held back his laughter and nodded.
The two were working hard, but the shopkeeper brought a plate of beef to the table.
Liang Yinqi quickly denied: "I didn't want it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's this young master who wants it."
Liang Yinqi looked at Jiang Heng, and he had already let go of the beef and drank it: "Do you have money?"
This man ate and drank all the way, but he could afford meat?
Jiang Heng was confident: "I don't have money, I don't have half a copper plate. I just gave a jade pendant to the shop owner. I have to get some dirty things when I ride it."
"Did you hurt your brain by changing to beef in jade pendant?" Liang Yinqi wiped her lips and stretched out her hand to the shopkeeper: "Give the jade pendant back, I'll give you silver."
The shopkeeper was stunned, obviously not expecting that there would be something else to say, staying there.
"His jade pendant is afraid it's very valuable. He takes a step back ten thousand steps. Even if it's not valuable, it's more than enough to buy a plate of beef. You must know this and will come to deliver the meat in person."
Liang Yinqi frowned: "You are a store and should be trustworthy. Is it a legitimate act to deceive ignorance?"
Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Seeing that Liang Yinqi was not a good match, the shopkeeper took a step back silently and had no intention of handing over the money he had obtained: "What the customer said. I am just a small business. Although I haven't read many books, I know that the final decision will be made and the transaction will be settled..."
"If you haven't read many books, go and read more! Return the jade pendant!"
Liang Yinqi interrupted him sternly without giving in.
Jiang Heng almost laughed out loud.
"This, let's do it, the guest." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and smiled apologized: "I'll add a few more dishes to you and you two, which are all the signs of the shop! The young master said just now that you worked hard all the way, and the shop can also provide massage services, ensuring that you can relax!"
Liang Yinqi sighed when she saw that the jade pendant was difficult to get back for a moment.
Jiang Heng thought she was going to compromise, but saw Liang Yinqi clenching her fist and pressing her lips. She secretly called the shopkeeper closer, and lowered her voice: "I didn't want to say something clearly. You see, he is soft-hearted and stupid, but it's really good. His family is fighting for family property, and his brothers are fighting hard, but the first thing he is aimed at is this stupid eldest son. In order to escape the pursuit, he ran out with me. He had many hidden arrows along the way, and his life was at stake. If you don't believe it, just look at his legs, and the injury has not healed yet."
Before the shopkeeper could react, Jiang Heng had already remembered something: "I almost forgot. The shopkeeper, please borrow the golden sore medicine to use it. It's time to change the medicine for the wound."
The shopkeeper's face changed, Liang Yinqi looked at his expression and shook his head, "The people sent to chase him would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. If they came along the way, they would know that you have his jade pendant in your hand..."
Liang Yinqi regretted: "Forget it, everything is fate. It's almost time to escape here. Shopkeeper, you can serve a few more dishes, so we can have a full meal and it's better to get on the road."
When you are wandering around the world, you would rather believe in the existence of strange stories than invisible.
The shopkeeper swallowed, trotted all the way to the counter to get out the jade pendant and golden sore medicine, and jogged back all the way, stuffing it into Liang Yinqi's hand like a thief.
He turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Liang Yinqi.
He raised his jade pendant and waited for Jiang Heng to identify it. Liang Yinqi put the jade pendant into his arms, took out his purse with one hand, and handed the golden sore medicine to Jiang Heng with the other.
She took out a few pieces of silver and put it in the hands of the shopkeeper: "Survival is not easy, everyone depends on their ability, and I will not take advantage of you."
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, saying, "But I don't know when you... will set off?"
Now, no matter what, he doesn't want these two people to stay in the store for too long.
"At least wait until we finish this meal." Jiang Heng smiled kindly.
Liang Yinqi was already chewing the steamed buns on her own. The shopkeeper understood that the two of them were afraid of being soft and hard, but fortunately they didn't seem to be messing around and refused to leave, so he stepped back embarrassedly.
Jiang Heng took the golden sore medicine and looked at Liang Yinqi carefully.
Liang Yinqi didn't raise her head: "Eat, don't stare at me."
Jiang Heng put the golden sore medicine in his arms and said, "It's not lies, it's actually lies..."
Liang Yinqi looked at him for no reason.
She went to the countryside with her, and the nanny who took care of her since childhood was not able to read a few words. She only followed the scholar in the village to recognize some words, but she had a headache when she heard the poem, and the scholar did not force her to read it.
But no matter how hard she didn't understand, she could probably hear the meaning of deception. Liang Yinqi picked up a slice of beef, took a sip of soup, and gave the next steamed bun: "I haven't learned poetry, so don't chew in front of me."
"You can read it in the future."
"No need. I'm lying now, I can understand how to ask you to arrange it."
Jiang Heng was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "That's not what he meant."
After thinking about it, he still didn't explain to praise her for using the "creating something out of nothing" strategy. Liang Yinqi didn't have the intention to talk about studying to him. She ate a whole steamed bun, ate half of the steamed bun, clapped her hands, pushed the plate to the opposite side, and slowly started drinking the soup.
Compared to her, Jiang Heng ate much more gentle. When holding the bowl, his thumb pressed the mouth of the bowl, his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger pressed the bottom of the bowl, and his palm was hanging in the air. When picking up the dishes, he only clamped the edge of the plate close to one side of his side, and several times. Even if Liang Yinqi had finished eating, he still asked before eating them all.
Although he was very particular, he didn't eat slowly. After he swallowed his last bite, Liang Yinqi made the same move as usual, took out some broken silver from his purse and put it in front of Jiang Heng: "Take it. Let's leave."
This is the third time she has said these four words.
Jiang Heng looked down at the broken silver, then looked up at Liang Yinqi: "My jade pendant, Brother Liang confiscated it?"
"You said, you have to pay back several times the cost all the way." Liang Yinqi poured another cup of tea: "I don't want much, this jade pendant is enough."
Jiang Heng looked at her firmly: "Actually, I can give you more."
"I have no blessings to relieve my feelings." Liang Yinqi looked at him and sighed silently again.
If she has some money or Jiang Heng is less careful, she can think of this good baby as she has picked up a handsome son-in-law.
Isn't this better than a fiance she's never met?
