When Li Shiyue heard Yan Jiuniang's words, she was stunned for a moment. Then she shook the already confused Yan Jiuniang on her back, adjusted her posture, and continued to carry Yan Jiuniang on her back and walk home.

Li Shiyue did not respond to Yan Jiuniang's words, and Yan Jiuniang actually didn't need her to say anything.

Yan Jiuniang was simply reminded of her past by the scene.

She didn't really want to find a man to marry and hold such a festive and lively wedding banquet.

Yan Jiuniang wanted to sell her out through marriage to gain benefits for himself because the King of Zhenbei ignored her personal wishes.
Yan Jiuniang was unable to resist this matter, and could only flee in frustration and feel powerless and angry.
As a result, after attending the wedding of Ma Zi and Mole Zi, Yan Jiuniang wanted to throw the jar into the wind and said, "If I were not my father's child, I could find a man I like to marry and have such a festive and lively wedding."

Yan Jiuniang didn't really want to get married. She just felt helpless about not being able to control her own life and losing her power in the face of patriarchy.

So, Li Shiyue didn't say anything, she just listened silently.

After returning home, Li Shiyue looked at Yan Jiuniang who had fallen asleep on the kang and could only sigh. He took a cloth and dipped it in warm water that had been exposed to the sun for a day, and wiped Yan Jiuniang's hands, face and feet. He then changed her position to a comfortable one and stuffed a round pillow that Li's mother had sewn with scraps into her arms.

Watching Yan Jiuniang sleeping soundly, Li Shiyue took out the plan he had written earlier under the dim light, and started writing and drawing on the densely written lines on it.

In the next few days, Yan Jiuniang acted very depressed. She spoke less and ate even less at Li's house.

In the evening, the sun sets and the remaining warmth of the sun brings the last bit of heat to the earth.

Li Shiyue took the horse and Yan Jiuniang to the riverbank. It had been a while since the horse was taken out for a run.

After feeding the horse with candy, Li Shiyue patted the horse's neck gently, and the horse ran out by itself.

Seeing the horses running happily, Li Shiyue also smiled.

Turning around, she looked at the melancholy Yan Jiuniang and said, "I have to take people to the county to pay the autumn tax tomorrow. After paying the tax, I have to go to the prefecture. It's time to replace people and deliver paper to the paper shop.

Look, do you want me to send another letter to the General's Mansion?
Also, I won't be back for several days, so please help look after the family.

What worries me most is that it is only a month away from the trade fair, and Li Shiyang should be able to bring people to the riverbank to build a bridge as soon as possible.

Jiu Niang, he knows you!
He has seen you!
When we were in Dongmu, we went to visit you together, do you remember?"

Seeing Yan Jiuniang nod, Li Shiyue continued, "Although you dodged quickly and hid behind Sister last time at the entrance of the village, who knows if he saw you?
What can I say about him?

In the past, we were in the same boat, and I even called him Brother Shiyang.

But after all, there are differences between men and women, and he still doesn't take women's interests into consideration in some aspects.

Just like last time, when my aunt and Aunt Lanhua were molested by Wang Ergou and his gang, he simply sent those guys away but did not scold or punish them.

Later, I led people to beat up Wang Ergou and his gang. You must have seen the look on his face at the scene.

From this point on, the relationship between him and I can no longer be as harmonious as it was in the past.

I'm not sure, if he knows that you are competing, will he reveal your information to the palace?
So, Jiu Niang, you'd better stay at home in the next few days.

Don't go out these days, and don't go to the paper mill for now.

Li Shiyang will probably return to the county after staying for a few days.

After he leaves, you can walk freely again."

Yan Jiuniang nodded. Li Shiyue thought she would listen to what he said. But after nodding, Yan Jiuniang raised her head and looked at Li Shiyue and said, "Shiyue, can I go to the capital with you?"

Before Li Shiyue could say anything, Yan Jiuniang pouted her lips, blinked her eyes and said to Li Shiyue in a tender voice: "Shiyue, Shiyue, good Shiyue, please let me go with you!
I want to go to Xingsheng Building!
Although I am only managing Xingsheng Building on behalf of my black-hearted father and am considered the shopkeeper, but over the years, I have also kept some tricks up my sleeve in the building.

In October, I can't always think about escaping and hiding. Without the Guanlong Sun family, there is still the Wang family, or the Li family;
I can't do this anymore!
In October, I have to think carefully about what to do next.

Besides, you told me before that you wanted me to help you find your uncle through the caravan, so I think there should be some information in the building. If I don’t go back, we won’t get the information.”

Even though Yan Jiuniang said this, Li Shiyue still did not agree with her.

"October, October, look at me, I am as black as a piece of coal.

I’m afraid that even if I stood directly in front of him right now, he wouldn’t be able to recognize who I am.

Just let me follow you.

I promise to listen to you along the way. I, I, I will be as obedient as a stone!

October, October, let me go. "

What can Li Shiyue do?

She could only follow Yan Jiuniang's wishes.

However, before Yan Jiuniang followed them out of the village, Li Shiyue dressed her up thoroughly.

The first thing was to change Yan Jiuniang's hairstyle. She asked Li's mother to comb her hair into the most common double buns worn by country girls, and also used the red hairband that Li's mother bought for Li Shiyue.

She was wearing an indigo blue dress that had been worn by Li Shiyue and had faded a lot after being washed twice.

In short, Yan Jiuniang was dressed up to look like a country girl.

Fortunately, since the autumn harvest, Yan Jiuniang has been working in the fields with Li Shiyue every day. Now that her face has become two shades darker, she can be considered a villager.

This time, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian did not follow Li Shiyue. They stayed at home with Shitou to take care of Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang.

As soon as the sky turned light, Li Shiyue and his companions drove out of Liujiatun and headed for Sanshan County.

Because Li Shiyang worked under Mr. Chen, and Li Shiyue had some relationship with General Liu Tan, the autumn tax payment in Liujiatun was very smooth.

Even the extra food prepared in advance was not used much.

After giving Li Wangshui a few words, Li Shiyue drove out of Sanshan County and onto the official road, heading towards the provincial capital.

After driving for a while on the official road, Li Shiyue stopped the car and took down one of the wooden boxes from the back of the car.

After opening the wooden box, Yan Jiuniang, who was curled up inside, was helped out by Li Shiyue.

"Just move slowly, don't rush."

Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang were already sitting on the shaft of the carriage together, but what they didn't know was that Li Shiyang was sitting at the table at this moment, thinking about how to write the letter to Mr. Chen.

Yes, he did see Yan Jiuniang at the entrance of the village when Li Shiyue led people to beat Wang Ergou and others.

But he didn't think about telling anyone the news at that time.

But today, he was standing in a corner watching Li Shiyue being treated like a star by the people of Liujiatun, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his heart again.

So he changed his mind.

He wanted to use the news about Yan Jiuniang as a stepping stone, rely on Mr. Chen, and show off in front of King Zhenbei!
