Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 500 Who does Qin Yanei like?
Wen Ji Xiang Yin quickly gained fame in Lin'an City with its "milk tea" and established a firm foothold.

Many businesses were jealous and wanted to follow suit, but they were unable to decipher the secret recipe of milk tea and could only struggle in their efforts.

Although it was only a matter of time, Wen Shu was relieved.

In the early morning light, two carriages drove out from the south gate of Lin'an City.

Wen Shu, who was leaning against the car with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a ray of light shining on his face. He opened his eyes and found that it was Liu Yunniang who was lifting the curtain and looking out.

She looked lonely, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes that had not fallen.
Outside the curtain was the Lin'an city gate that was getting farther and farther away.

Liu Yunniang said that she had never left Lin'an City since she followed her parents to Lin'an City and married the young man from the Xu family.

Leaving now in such a situation must be filled with mixed feelings and a myriad of emotions.

Wen Shu understood her feelings and did not disturb her.

Some people don't like to be seen in their vulnerable side.

Some emotions can only be digested slowly by yourself.

However, there are more and more little tails behind him.

She sighed, closed her eyes again and continued to doze off, while thinking about what to do next.

At Wang's residence in Lin'an City, Madam Wang complained to Wang Cishan, "Are you really going to let Yang'er go like this?"

"Otherwise, can you stop it?"

Wang Cishan sat calmly in a chair sipping tea, not looking anxious at all.

"We can't stop him, but we can't let him go either." Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she kept pacing in front of the hall. "Yang'er doesn't know anything, but I don't know what that girl is thinking. Aren't you afraid that he will suffer a loss?"

"What's the harm?" Wang Cishan put down his teacup and said seriously, "Remember what I told you last night. That girl is not simple. Don't provoke her."

"How can it be so simple? She is just a little girl."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she suddenly remembered what Wenshu had said to her that night. She couldn't help but stiffen and get goose bumps all over her body.

She came back to her senses and looked at Wang Cishan anxiously, "Have you forgotten what Wan'er said in the letter, that if Yang'er comes, she must keep you here..."

"It is better to let him go than to block him. If he wants to go, let him go. Don't worry, I have sent someone to follow him secretly. Write to me at any time."

Hearing this, Madam Wang knew that this was the best outcome, so she nodded and said, "That's good. Remember to tell me if you have any news."

The trees are lush and green, cicadas are chirping, birds are singing, and the sun is high in the sky, scorching the road and making pedestrians sweat profusely.

On the official road, Liu Zhang and others followed on horseback from a distance.

Liu Sheng suddenly leaned forward and whispered to Liu Zhang, "Boss, have you noticed that there is something wrong with the carriage next to you?"

Liu Zhang glanced at the carriage he mentioned and said with a serious expression: "Let them go and do our own thing."

He had spotted this carriage a long time ago, and it almost came out of the city gate at the same time as Miss Wen and the others.

In addition to the coachman, there were three other people in the carriage.

This carriage kept a distance from Miss Wen's carriage. It didn't look like any other pedestrians on the road, but rather like they were following them.

I don't know who sent it?
Liu Sheng touched his nose and stopped talking.

I was secretly complaining in my heart, and I didn't know what my eldest brother was thinking. Why didn't he just follow me directly instead of protecting me secretly?

Protection in secret is not as good as protection in the open.

Not only is she protecting them openly, but Miss Wen can also cook for them.

Her cooking skills are no better than chewing dry and hard biscuits.

At the same time they discovered each other, the people in the carriage next to them also discovered them.

At this time, the three people in the carriage gathered together and whispered: "Did you find that the people next to you are a little weird?"

"Why do you think so?" someone asked.

"People usually ride horses when they are in a hurry, but they don't look like they are in a hurry. Also, have you noticed that they stop almost as soon as the carriage in front stops?"

"You mean, they're here to keep an eye on the people ahead as well?"

"It's very possible, but I don't know what the method is. Will it ruin our business?"

The three of them looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Finally, the man who looked like a leader said, "It is better to be careful, observe secretly, and try not to conflict with them." The other two nodded in unison.

Since Liu Yunniang was brought along, Old Man Wen went outside to drive the carriage, while Qin Jingyang sat with Zhuo Rufeng.

At this time, in the car behind, Zhuo Rufeng was chatting with Qin Jingyang.

"I wonder how Brother Qin and Miss Wen knew each other?"

Zhuo Rufeng sat upright with a warm smile on his face, while Qin Jingyang was leaning against the carriage with his legs crossed, eating a bunch of grapes in a casual manner.

"We met on the road and became sworn brothers because we felt we had a lot in common." After saying that, Qin Yangyang spat out the grape skins and seeds out of the window.

Zhuo Rufeng remained silent, thinking that Qin Jingyang was probably not telling the truth.

After all, their personalities are completely different, and they don't seem to get along well. Instead, Miss Wen suppresses him everywhere.

Come to think of it, why would he, the son of a high-ranking official, be willing to be suppressed by a commoner woman?

Is this also what he can’t figure out?

And when I think about the events of the past two days, I can’t help but find it funny.

The night before yesterday, his uncle wrote to him asking him not to get involved in the incident between Qin Jingyang and the Wang family, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and give the Wang family an opportunity to cause trouble.

But he felt that it was not the right way for someone to be so cold-hearted after traveling with him all the way when something happened, so he went to Zhuo's house to explain in person.

When the head of the family heard that he had invested in Miss Wen's shop, he was silent for a long time before saying, "Since it was your second uncle who entrusted you with this, and you are already so deeply involved with them, it's too late to cut off your relationship now."

"Forget it, let's leave it to fate. I just hope they are really nobles of the Zhuo family and the Wang family won't make a big fuss about this matter."

After this incident, he couldn't sleep all night.

His uncle was also worried, and even immediately summoned all the managers to prepare for the Wang family to attack.

However, they didn't expect that the head of the Wang family came to their shop in person yesterday.

He was also shocked at first, thinking that he was here to cause trouble. But he did not expect that the young man who was usually so careless and unruly in front of him was actually the nephew of the Wang family.

In other words, the person in front of him was Qin Yanei, the son of Qin Pei, the rumored strongman of the Wang family and the Vice-Chancellor!

To be honest, if the head of the Wang family hadn't recognized him personally, he would have no way of connecting the person in front of him with Qin Canzheng's son.

When he told the head of the family about this, the head of the family was also stunned.

No one expected that Mrs. Wang's nephew would beat Wang's nephew.

"It's really like a flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore."

After learning about Qin Jingyang's true identity, the head of the family told him to establish a good relationship with Qin Jingyang.

In recent years, the Wang family has been continuously expanding its influence in Lin'an City, and has squeezed the Zhuo family to the point where it is almost suffocating.

If he could get along well with Qin Jingyang, maybe he could slow down the actions of the Wang family.

But he is not good at speaking, and he hasn't dealt with outsiders in these years, so he really doesn't know how to build relationships with them.

"By the way, I heard that Brother Qin and cousin Wang are in love and I don't know when they will get married. Would I have the honor of drinking a glass of wedding wine?"

In fact, the Zhuo family had thought about marrying into the Wang family to achieve a win-win situation, but the Wang family only had one son and one daughter.

The eldest son of the Wang family was placed with high hopes. He devoted himself to studying and taking imperial examinations so that he could marry a famous lady from the capital.

It is said that the young lady of the Wang family was favored by her aunt who lived far away in the capital. She was brought to the capital since she was a child and was raised by Madam Qin. In the future, she was going to be the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Qin's son.

Anyway, there are only two children, and it is impossible for the Wang family to marry into a merchant family.

They have bigger ambitions.

"Who said that?" Qin Jingyang swallowed the grapes in his mouth and said with some dissatisfaction: "I only regard her as my sister. Where did you hear these words?"

"Everyone in Lin'an City knows it. How come, from what Brother Qin said, it seems that you have someone else in your heart?" Zhuo Rufeng joked with a smile.

Qin Yangyang paused and said nothing.

Zhuo Rufeng suddenly thought of something and sparks exploded in his mind.

Thinking of Qin Jingyang buying rose water for Wen Shu, and not fighting back when she chased him and beat him.
Could it be that the person he likes is Miss Wen?

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
