The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 91 Encounter in the city

When Xie Shuting went shopping, she reminded merchants not to lower their prices.

After Xie Shuting told Xie Tingwen her guess, she wanted to go back to the back office to rest, but when she saw the snow all over the sky, she couldn't help but think of her daughter.

She then took a maid with her and prepared to stroll around the county town to see what Laigu County would look like after the snow.

When the gatekeeper saw Xie Shuting, he leaned over and said, "Miss!"

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded in response. After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned back to say, "Lian Xi is out on business. If you see her coming back later, ask her to look for me on the street."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the bailiff echoed.

Xie Shuting was just strolling on the street because she was in a good mood. But Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang, unable to bear the loneliness, also left the government office early.

"Kejun! I didn't expect to see foreign merchants in this place?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

According to his understanding, most of these foreign merchants did business in the capital or provincial capitals and rarely came to such county towns, not to mention that Laigu County was just a medium-sized county.

Yan Shuang glanced at the various businessmen and asked with a smile on his face, "Sir! What do you think the businessmen want?"

"Merchants seek profit! Is there any need to ask?" Zhao Zhen replied subconsciously.

"Since you said that merchants seek profit, then they must be gathering here to gain something. It seems that Xie Tingwen is really capable. I wonder how he did it?"

As soon as Yan Shuang finished speaking, he stood there in a daze, looking at the woman in a snow-white cloak in front of him with somewhat obsessed eyes.

Zhao Zhen naturally also noticed something strange. He met Yan Shuang's gaze and his mind also froze.

"how much is this?"

"One cent." An old woman responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xie Shuting quickly took out two copper coins from her purse, handed them to the woman, and then took out two strings of candied haws.

She casually handed one of the strings to the maid behind her and said, "Take it!"

"Miss! This...this is not possible." The maid said in panic.

Xie Shuting was unwilling to explain, and she forced the candied haws into the maid's hand, took a bite happily and said, "When you are with me and there are no outsiders around, you don't have to be so restrained."

A layer of mist suddenly appeared in the maid's eyes. They had been servants since ancient times and were inferior to others. Now, Xie Shuting's seemingly casual actions made her feel a little warm in her heart.

Xie Shuting took a few bites of the candied haws and saw the cakes on the side. She paid a few cents and bought two pieces to satisfy her hunger.

Seeing Xie Shuting's extraordinary actions, Zhao Zhen was shocked and asked, "This is the official lady, this is Xie Shuting?"

Since ancient times, women have followed etiquette, the so-called "don't go out of the front door, don't go out of the back door." But now Xie Shuting not only eats on the street, but also talks to servants in this way.

For a moment, Zhao Zhen’s three views were almost overturned.

However, seeing Xie Shuting's face like this, Yan Shuang seemed much calmer.

He just smiled and said, "Everyone is a young girl in her twenties. Young girls should be lively and active."

"Kejun! You call this lively?" Zhao Zhen was stunned.

At this time, Xie Shuting had already walked in front of the two of them.

She looked carefully at the person who came, and handed the candied haws in her hand to the maid behind her in a panic, stomping her feet on the spot as if she had done something wrong.

"What should I do? Ke Jun didn't see me lose my composure, did he? Why did Zhao Zhen call Ke Jun out for no reason? Isn't it good to have food and drink in the government office?"

Yan Shuang naturally saw Xie Shuting's embarrassment, and immediately held her hand and said, "Xiao Ke! Meet Miss Xie."

Xie Shuting came back to her senses and bowed quickly, saying, "My concubine greets Mr. Zhao and Kejun."

Zhao Zhen was helpless about Xie Shuting's special name. He had already figured out the trick, as the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, it's easy to get him.

Yan Shuang had already noticed this without him having to break it. He had also thought about rejecting Xie Shuting's ambiguity.

But for some reason, he could never do it.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Yan Shuang asked softly, "Miss Xie, are you going out to buy something today?"

"buy?"

Xie Shuting suddenly came to her senses and said, "Yes! I am going to buy some. I don't have enough rice paper at home, so I thought of going to Guanshan Bookstore to have a look."

Xie Shuting argued without blushing or beating her heart. Even though she was in a deep mood, when facing Yan Shuang, she could not hide the gracefulness that a woman should have.

"That's perfect! You're also short of writing brushes and ink, why don't you come together?" Yan Shuang invited him with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Zhen was stunned. How could he respond to this? When did he run out of paper? Besides, he hadn't written or drawn for a long time.

When the two were together, all official documents and letters were written by Yan Shuang, and he didn't even know that he didn't have enough ink.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's dazed expression, Xie Shuting couldn't help but blush and said softly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Kejun to go with me."

"Please!~" Yan Shuang held the handrail.

Zhao Zhen was instantly shocked by Yan Shuang's behavior, because he had never seen Ke Jun, who was known as a modest gentleman, take the initiative to invite a woman to join him.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen had to think about the relationship more. If Ke Jun was also interested in Xie Shuting, should he take the initiative to withdraw?

But when he thought about the noble aura that Xie Shuting sometimes exuded, he couldn't help but shudder.

Just like that, Zhao Zhen was disheveled in the wind for a moment.

Until Yan Shuang stood not far away and reminded: "Young Master! If you don't go buy some pens and ink, it will be too late."

Xie Shuting walked slowly, deliberately walking side by side with Yan Shuang.

The two of them acted like this, and from a distance they looked like a perfect couple, which made people feel a little envious.

Suddenly! Just as the three of them were crossing the central street, a deafening drum sound instantly spread, attracting countless people to come over.

"Hey! Isn't that the execution platform over there? Are there any prisoners to be executed today?"

"I haven't heard of it! But it seems that Captain Cao has brought a group of people over there. Anyway, there will be a good show to watch, why don't we go and take a look?"

"Yes, let's see what's going on."

Everyone was talking about it, and Zhao Zhen and Yan Shuang roughly understood the whole story.

The two looked at Xie Shuting with suspicion, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, they knew that this matter was probably related to her.

Thinking of this, Yan Shuang changed the subject and said, "Miss Xie! Why don't you go over and take a look?"

"can."

After Xie Shuting finished speaking, she whispered a few words to the maid. The three of them waited for a moment, and then they saw a yamen runner quickly pass through the crowd and come to Xie Shuting's side.

He glanced at the three of them, stroked his hand and said, "Miss!"

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded and said softly, "We would like to go in and take a look. Is that convenient?"

The yamen runner was stunned for a moment, but fortunately Captain Cao had reminded him when he came, so he followed Xie Shuting's words and said, "Miss, Captain Cao has arranged everything. Please come in!"
