117. Reluctantly please
This tea house is not an upscale place, there are no private rooms, and there are several other tables of guests in the lobby. Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu and saw that she had been drinking tea silently, as if she was not here, and she would not bother her.
After a while, Yao Fangyu smiled: "Let's go together?" β
"Okay, I'm familiar here, I'll lead the way."
Outside the Guandi Temple, the apricot grove is as quiet as ever. Along the way, Nangong Jin gushed about Jingzhou's food, beautiful scenery, and various legends.
"I remember you weren't good at that before." Yao Fangyu took advantage of Nangong Jin's storytelling to interject.
Nangong Jin rubbed his nose: "I've always been very good at speaking. When I was a child, my family annoyed me, and the gentlemen in the school kicked me out several times. β
"Really?" Yao Fangyu smiled and asked, "Then why were you often silent at that time?" β
"Hungry."
Yao Fangyu couldn't help laughing again: "You and Xiao Ying ......, what's wrong?" β
"Huh?" Nangong Jin didn't understand what she meant: "What? I'm very good with her. He added: "We have always been in touch and we see each other often. β
"You took good care of her then, and I thought you would take care of her forever."
"At that time, she was so thin and small that she couldn't tell that she was a girl at all. At that time, I was really afraid that when she fell, she would be gone. β
"What about ...... then?" Yao Fangyu asked cautiously.
"Later?" Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu: "Later, when she went home, I left." β
"You didn't ....... I mean, well....... Yao Fangyu looked up at him with a smile and suggested, "She is in Hanyang, when will we have time to get together?" β
"Okay, she always said I was looking for her when I had something." Nangong Jin also smiled and said, "Set a time to go together, Hanyang is not far away." β
"That time, did your mother choose a good daughter-in-law for you?"
"Hah......." Nangong Jin smiled bitterly: "I don't think I can find a daughter-in-law in Pingyang." β
"Nangong Yuyan is also a bit famous. However, even back then, he shouldn't have been able to hurt you. β
Nangong Jin pretended to be happy and said, "I can't fool you about this, but fortunately you didn't say anything." β
Yao Fangyu laughed again: "We just met, and we don't know each other." After a pause, "I have something I want to ask you for." β
"Okay."
"You listen first, don't promise so soon." Yao Fangwei hesitated for a while, "I packed those coolies because I wanted to open a mine......
"There are mines in Jingzhou?" Nangong Jin interrupted her very strangely.
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not. That way, at least I can find a reason to ....... Speaking of this, he stopped again, "The reason why I came to Jingzhou is to see if I can see you." Without waiting for Nangong Jin to ask, he continued: "Actually, I have been inquiring about your news, but unfortunately I can't find it. However, I recently learned that you have been to Yanzhou, Quanzhou, and Jingzhou. Last time, your father introduced you to everyone, and he must have asked you to take on some things. So I don't think you'll be going to Yanzhou for the time being. There are only Quanzhou and Jingzhou. I heard about Quanzhou, Qifengzhuang has been helping you. That's why I came to Jingzhou to try my luck. β
Nangong Jin laughed and said, "Isn't it more convenient for you to make an appointment with me to meet in Jingzhou directly?" β
Yao Fangyu didn't seem to hear it, and said lightly: "If you can't touch it, then forget it." β
Nangong Jin knew that Yao Fangyu had something on her mind, but she didn't know how to ask, "Okay." β
After another half an hour, Yao Fangyu asked in a whisper: "Are you free in a month?" β
"A month?" Nangong Jin was a little embarrassed, "I just arrived in Jingzhou, and I may not be able to handle the affairs here in a month." Is it okay now? β
"How long will you take?"
"I promised my family three months, two months at the earliest, if it goes well, it should be faster."
"If you believe me, I can help you." Yao Fangyu looked at him and smiled.
"Well, I'm short of people. But then, you'll have to wait. β
Yao Fangyu shook his head, "Don't promise yet, I haven't finished yet." β
Nangong Jin spread her hands and made a gesture of please speak.
"Can you use the identity of the Quanzhou Hall Master of the Nangong Clan to pretend to talk about cooperation with Nanhai?"
"Can you use Jingzhou or, Pingyang?" Nangong Jin smiled awkwardly: "It's ...... cooperation, you can not pretend at all." It's Quanzhou, there is no hall master now, and it will be a little embarrassing if it is discovered. β
"We have always stuck to one domain in the South China Sea, and Jingzhou and Pingyang are far away, so we won't be interested. Moreover, I want you to accompany me back to the South China Sea as my fiancΓ©, so you don't really need to talk about cooperation. Yao Fangyu said very calmly, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.
What the! Fiance? Nangong Jin was stunned and looked at Yao Fangyu blankly.
Yao Fangyu saw that he reacted so much, so he lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I know that this request is very excessive, that is, try to ask you, it doesn't matter if you don't agree." Anyway, I also took those coolies, just in case I ....... β
"I'm fine." Nangong Jin interrupted her, "That's it, what are you going to do?" Then he half-jokingly said, "Of course, if you think it's okay to marry me, I'm sure I'll be fine." Seeing that Yao Fangyu was still depressed, he hurriedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding." Anyway, I can do whatever I want, the key is that you have to think about it. β
After a while, Yao Fangyu nodded, "...... in three months, it's okay." After that, he never mentioned it again, and asked about the fortune he had made.
Nangong Jin roughly said it, I wanted to take him for two days, chatting and letting him tell the story, and even found a good one. Yao Fangyu proposed that anyway, he would take these people to the mountains to mine tomorrow, so it was better to go together.

When Nangong Jin returned to Qifengzhuang, it was not yet dinner time, which made Cheng Zhaofeng very surprised, stared at him and said, "This is back?" β
"There's something wrong with her."
Cheng Zhaofeng smiled and said, "I don't want to eat with you, do you?" β
Nangong Jin glanced at Cheng Zhaofeng, "People are really in trouble." β
"It's inconvenient for Fang to talk about it, what are you looking for?" Cheng Zhaofeng's face was gossiping.
"It's inconvenient." Nangong Jin didn't enter the main room, and found an excuse to avoid Cheng Zhaofeng: "Du Ling is treating his father-in-law's legs, so I'll go to the kitchen to see what to eat at night." β
Cheng Zhaofeng rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "If you don't say it, you won't say it, hum." Stingy. β
Nangong Jin walked a few steps, then turned around and thought about it and asked, "Uncle Cheng, did you say that she doesn't have a good reputation?" β
"I didn't say that." Cheng Zhaofeng narrowed his eyes and denied it, "These are all rumors about dedication, and I don't know if there are any." β
Nangong Jin frowned and said, "She's a woman, it's too much, right?" He walked back and asked, "Also, what did you say about her and her master?" Won't it also be a rumor? β
"Heh, I know that she often goes in and out with her master, and it is the two of them who represent the South China Sea on many occasions." Cheng Zhaofeng looked at Nangong Jin, a picture of 'That's it!' 's expression.
Nangong Jin waited for a long time, but Cheng Zhaofeng didn't follow, "That's it?" Gone? β
"What else do you want? A man and a woman, all the way, no one else ....... Cheng Zhaofeng stopped meaningfully.
"Be specific."
"How else do you want to be specific?"
Nangong Jin sighed, "She still wants to get married, you are spreading it like this, okay?" β
"Uh, you can't have a crush on her, do you?" Cheng Zhaofeng said casually.
"Of course not!" Nangong Jin said, rubbing her nose and touching her ears, "I think, let her help with Jingzhou's affairs." He cleared his throat and said, "In the past few days, go to the mountains with her first, and set up a trap to make a fortune......." β
"Listen to the story. I like it, together. β
"This, there are too many people to get rich, and they will be afraid. Especially Uncle Cheng, you are so majestic...... this kind of thing, I can go by myself. Also, the stepfather is treating, Du Ling has a lot of requirements, and he wants you to look at it, he ...... It's messy. Nangong Jin's face flushed slightly.
Cheng Zhaofeng looked incredulous, and said with an ambiguous expression: "You want to be with her, a lonely man and a widow......"
"Don't talk nonsense. There are so many people, even if I think I don't have this opportunity. β
Cheng Zhaofeng stared at Nangong Jin incredulously, "What? You...... Just a chance?! β
Nangong Jin didn't look at him, turned around and left.
"Hey, you ......, she's not a good woman...... Cheng Zhaofeng chased after him, "I have to explain this." β
Nangong Jin sighed, "I know now, what it means not to speculate for more than half a sentence." β
