After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Wan thanked the unknown heroes who threw manure water in Zhang's yard, but she didn't know that the unknown heroes were Xie Jing and Xiaohu.

Jiang Wan was happy because of the Zhang family's misfortune, so she called Sister Meihua and asked her to make a sumptuous meal with two pheasants.

There was a terrible stench and constant cursing at the Zhang family's place.

The courtyard of Jiang Wan was filled with fragrance and laughter.

With the addition of the little yellow dog, there are more and more poultry in the yard.

Xie Jing and Xiaohu carefully take care of the black horse's diet and hygiene every day. Now its fur is shiny and smooth, and it looks energetic, completely different from the decadent and listless state at the beginning.

There were only a few chickens in the yard originally. Later, a new house was built and a new chicken coop was built. So Jiang Wan bought seven or eight more hens and also picked out two roosters.

Later, Aunt Xie gave away four ducklings, which have now grown up and get along well with the chickens.

Jiang Wan looked at the chickens, ducks, black horse and puppy in the yard, then looked at Xie Jing's four children playing with the puppy, looking happy and carefree.

For some reason I felt that it would be nice to just lie down like this forever.

Unfortunately, circumstances do not allow it.

In addition to the income from braised food, she wants to make more money.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to live the rest of your life without worries about food and clothing.

He thought about this the whole day long. Before going to bed at night, Jiang Wan was still thinking about what business to start to make money, which resulted in him not being able to sleep well the whole night.

The next day was Uncle Liu’s birthday party.

Even though Jiang Wan didn't sleep well, she had to get up early and go to Luohe Town.

Not only do I have to attend the banquet today, but I also have to take care of Jiang Lian'er and Zhang Caijin.

Xie Lan got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast. During the meal, Xie Lan placed two hundred-liang silver notes on the table.

"Give it back to you."

Jiang Wan was stunned, staring at the banknote and asked, "You have money so quickly? Where did it come from?"

Xie Lan's face looked bad, and there seemed to be a thick fog in his dark eyes, making people look down on his emotions.

"You don't have to worry about it."

His tone was a little cold, and Jiang Wan was a little confused.

She always felt that Xie Lan was a little strange recently.

Sometimes people feel that he is easy to get close to, and gives people a sense of stability and solid dependence.

Sometimes it seems like he has a lot on his mind, and his whole body is covered with thorns, making it impossible for people to approach him.

What is his secret?

Although Jiang Wan was curious, she knew he wouldn't easily say it out loud, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just kept silent and said, "Two hundred taels is too much. I'll return you fifty taels later."

She had no interest in continuing to eat, so she stood up and wanted to go back to her room to clean up, but Xie Lan suddenly called her.

"……sorry."

He apologized, his voice hiding a hint of discomfort.

Jiang Wan stopped.

Xie Lan actually apologized to her? But what did he do wrong?

"You don't have to pay the money back, and don't be so clear with me."

Xie Lan's tone returned to normal, even with a hint of seriousness.

The dissatisfaction that Jiang Wan had just felt because of Xie Lan's indifference suddenly dissipated.

It was rare for him to give in, so she didn't bother with him anymore.

She turned around, her eyes shining like two gems.

"You asked me not to separate ourselves so clearly, but you are still the same. We are still... still friends. When you encounter something unhappy, you have a stern face and don't say anything. You are also cold and icy. When I ask you, you don't say anything. It's really embarrassing."

After spending some time together, Jiang Wan felt that Xie Lan was a really nice person.

Apart from being moody sometimes and liking to be cold to others, he has almost no other faults.

In her previous life, Jiang Wan didn't have much contact with the opposite sex, but it was rare to find a man like Xie Lan who was both responsible and capable.

Unconsciously, Jiang Wan has already regarded Xie Lan as her friend.

Since we're friends, there shouldn't be any problem with her showing some concern, right?

Jiang Wan’s words left Xie Lan stunned for a long time.

Friends? Only friends?

There was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, but Xie Lan did not delve into it and tried to ignore it.

"I didn't have a straight face..."

Xie Lan felt helpless. He was expressionless by nature, so he was mistaken for someone with a stern face to scare people.

Jiang Wan chuckled, and her bright eyes became even brighter.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. We still have to go to town for a banquet."

Seeing that smile that was more dazzling than the sun, the lingering haze in Xie Lan's heart was driven away, and his expression softened immediately.

"it is good."

After the rumor spread, he confessed everything to Jiang Wan.

He chose to believe her and was willing to share the secret.

*

Luohe Town.

Jiang Wan sat in the carriage, and Xie Lan was driving the horse in front.

The black horse was tall and vigorous, and as soon as it entered the town, it attracted the attention and comments of passers-by.

In addition, Xie Lan was wearing an indigo blue satin dress, and he looked handsome and had an outstanding temperament. Passersby couldn't help but wonder which rich young master he was.

When passing by a teahouse, Jiang Wan asked Xie Lan to stop.

"I'll go in and find someone."

Jiang Wan had learned her lesson from the last time she got carriage sick, so she bought some motion sickness medicine from the mall before getting on the carriage.

After taking the medicine, I felt much better along the way.

"it is good."

Xie Lan didn't ask any more questions. He stopped the carriage in front of the teahouse, jumped off the horse first, then turned around and helped Jiang Wan get out of the carriage.

Because she was going to attend a banquet at Liu's house, Jiang Wan didn't want to dress too casually, so she wore a green jacket and skirt with apricot and peach blossom patterns embroidered on the hems and cuffs. She had her hair in a bun and wore two silver hairpins and a gold hairpin on her head.

The weather was getting colder and most people were wearing dark clothes. Her light green clothes added a touch of liveliness to the dull cold.

The teahouse was where they met Xiaohu and Xiaoliu last time, so the owner of the teahouse was impressed by Jiang Wan.

"Isn't this Miss Jiang? Are you in town to buy things again?"

The shopkeeper was so enthusiastic that Jiang Wan did not disappoint him and directly ordered a pot of the best tea.

"Boss, please sit down. I want to ask you something."

The shopkeeper sat down as he was told and asked with a smile, "Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will tell you everything."

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, is there a rumor going around in town recently?"

"gossip?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is indeed a rumor that a village girl is pursuing a scholar, and the village girl is willing to do anything to force the scholar to marry her. Oh, Miss Jiang, these are just some dodgy rumors. Don't take them seriously. Who knows, who knows, someone with ulterior motives wants to harm someone's reputation."

The owner has run the teahouse for more than 30 years and has seen all kinds of people and things.

Naturally, we know that the so-called rumors are just spread deliberately by people with ulterior motives.

Jiang Wan was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that a teahouse owner could see things so clearly.

She said, "Boss, do you know which storyteller is the most famous in town?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "There is a Mr. Zhao in Fulin Teahouse. He is the most popular storyteller in Luohe Town. As long as he goes on stage and opens his mouth, Fulin Teahouse is always full."
