79 Chapter 79. I didn’t Bring Her Share
Old master Qiu asked Ji Shuisheng happily. Ji Xiaoying lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to old master Qiu mischievously, ”
“Not just two handcarts; there’s a horse carriage!”
Seeing Xiaoying jump out of the carriage, old master Qiu did not recognize her immediately. Why did this young man in men’s clothes in front of him look so familiar? Only when he heard Xiaoying’s voice did the old man recognize her.
“This … How much is that?”
Old master Qiu asked his grandson angrily, “Are you going to spend money like this? ”
Qiu Yongkang held onto his grandfather and told him,
“Grandpa, Miss Su bought this herself. It has nothing to do with our village.”
“Oh, oh, then it’s fine.”
When he heard that Su Qing had bought the carriage herself, the old man stopped scolding his grandson for spending money. The old man knew that Su Qing was rich and she could buy whatever she wanted with her money.
Qiu Yue clenched her fists in jealousy, her sharp nails digging deep into the tender flesh of her palm. Why could Su Qing sit in such a good carriage while she had to walk?
Li Shuang ‘er and the others surrounded Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying happily.
“Sister Su, you look good in men’s clothes too.”
Li Shuang ‘er admired Su Qing just like her brother. She felt he was very handsome when she saw Su Qing in men’s clothes. She also wanted to be as cool as Su Qing.
“I’ve bought men’s clothes for you all. Change into them in the carriage later. Also, try to speak in a rough voice in the future.”
Su Qing pointed to the carriage and asked the girls to get in and change their clothes. She didn’t say the reason. The girls looked at each other, not understanding why they were asked to change into men’s clothes.
“Change into men’s clothes?”
Old master Qiu couldn’t help but ask Su Qing, “Why is lady Su acting on a whim? ”
“Grandpa Qiu, sister Su and I met some bad people in the city. It’s safer to dress as men.”
Xiaoying said to Grandpa Qiu with a lingering fear. Grandpa Qiu knew that the matter was severe without asking.
“Lady Su’s suggestion is excellent. Everyone, quickly change your clothes.”
When old master Qiu gave the order, the girls stopped talking about lining up to get in the carriage and change their clothes. Su Qing had bought clothes of smaller sizes, which were just right for them to wear. However, all of them felt awkward. After all, they had been wearing women’s clothes for more than ten years. How could it be comfortable to change into men’s clothes suddenly?
All the young ladies in Peach Blossom Cove had changed into men’s Clothing, but Qiu Yue refused to change no matter what.
She didn’t want to wear those ugly clothes. Why was a young lady pretending to be a man?
“Qui Yue, why are you so insensible? Su Qing is doing this for your good.”
Old master Qiu was furious and looked at his granddaughter with disappointment. He used to think that Qiu Yue was sensible and gentle, but when she came out, he realized that she was rebellious in her bones and soft on the outside.
Just as Qiu Yue was about to argue with her grandfather, Su Qing coldly said,
“I didn’t bring for her.”
Old master Qiu looked at Su Qing awkwardly, but when he thought about what his granddaughter had done, it was understandable that Su Qing didn’t care about her. Besides, she was spending her own money, so there was no need to care about someone who was always against her.
“Grandpa, I think you’re overthinking it.”
Qiu Yue didn’t dare to speak too loudly for fear that Su Qing would punish her if he heard her. She mumbled to her grandfather.
“You, you, you’ll suffer sooner or later. Remember not to leave the team alone.”
Old master Qiu sighed. He had to remind his granddaughter that this was a critical period. If his granddaughter were incapable, she would be unable to escape if she encountered any danger. Even someone as powerful as Su Qing could meet such a troublesome matter.
Qiu Yue nodded in agreement. All the girls in the village wore male clothes, and she was the only one wearing female clothes. It would be fine if she could not wear that ugly male outfit. Moreover, she had little intention. Wouldn’t that make her stand out among the group of chickens?
A red flower is only beautiful when green leaves complement it. They can be her green leaves!
“We have to leave quickly.”
Ji Shuisheng and Li Daniu went to attach the horse-drawn cart to the two hand carts. The things originally on the horses’ backs were taken down and placed on the cart. It was still straightforward to put them down.
When he returned, the girls had already changed their clothes, and he didn’t hear the argument between Qiu Yue and Su Qing. When he saw that Qiu Yue wasn’t in her male disguise, Ji Shuisheng’s eyes flashed. Su Qing must not have brought along any for her.
It must be said that even though Ji Shuisheng had only been in contact with Su Qing for a few days, he already understood her character very well.
“Alright, let’s go!”
The other disaster victims did not even have food, but they had three carts. If they stayed, they would feel like they were the target of public criticism. Old master Qiu also thought that leaving as soon as possible was better.
“We have to change our route and take a roundabout route to Jingshi Dao.”
Ji Shuisheng reported to old master Qiu in a low voice. After all, the old man at Peach Blossom Cove was highly respected, and they still had to discuss anything.
“Alright, you guys decide.”
Old master Qiu had absolute trust in Ji Shuisheng and did not even ask why they had to change their route.
Ji Shuisheng took out a sheepskin scroll. Su Qing looked and saw that it was a map of the great Xia Kingdom. The map was drawn in great detail, but she didn’t know where Ji Shuisheng got it.
Ji Shuisheng’s slender fingers slid on the sheepskin scroll, and his deep voice was as charming as if he had drunk strong wine,
“We’ll go through Tiegang mountain and go around the mountain to reach Liangcheng. We’ll go to Jiang City through Liangcheng. I hope there’s no earth dragon there, and it won’t block the mountain path.
Su Qing glanced at Ji Shuisheng. His brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were serious and focused. The sun shone on his side profile, and his tall nose outlined a three-dimensional line. Coupled with his thick beard, he looked rugged and hid his domineering aura.
“Sister, can I take the carriage?”
The little tiger stood beside the carriage, looking up at Su Qing with big eyes. There were four to five little turnips behind him. Their big, clear eyes stared at Su Qing, melting her heart.
“Sure.”
Su Qing nodded. Children were the best at healing. Usually, these children liked to surround her and call her “Big sister.” Their sweet, milky voices always made Su Qing happy. These little guys had the magic to make people forget their troubles.
The children were overjoyed to hear Su Qing’s reply. They thanked their sister in their baby voices,
“Thank you, sister!”
Su Qing’s face turned serious.
“If you call me big sister, I won’t let you take the carriage.”
“Then what should we call you?”
The little tiger furrowed his brows and tilted his head, looking at Su Qing in confusion. However, the child was brilliant. He saw that sister Su Qing wore the same clothes as his brother and had the same hairstyle. The little tiger suddenly understood.
“Call her big brother.”
Su Qing liked the little tiger’s intelligence. She smiled and patted his little head.
” Yes, call me brother. Get in and let brother Xiaoying bring you some snacks.
“Thank you, brother.”
The other children learned from him and shouted in unison. Su Qing laughed and carried them into the carriage one by one. She was wondering why she was so patient.
When Xiaoying heard that Su Qing wanted to give the little tiger some desserts, she opened the basket lid and took out a few pieces of dessert. She gave them to the children when they got into the carriage.
The parents of these children were very grateful to Su Qing. She had helped them a lot. Otherwise, they would have to carry their children on their backs. Not only that, she even shared the desserts she had bought with the children. Su Qing was a kind Bodhisattva!
The team started to set off. Ji Shuisheng had already handled everything, so he had to lead the way. When he passed by Su Qing’s carriage, he was stopped by Su Qing.
