A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

After Shen Qingqian left, Yingzi and Chen Shijun were the only ones left in the carriage.

Although it was getting darker and darker, and the light in the carriage was getting dimmer, neither of them could see the expressions on each other's faces, but they could feel each other's breath.

Chen Shijun said, "Miss Yingzi, you saved me again today, thank you."

"Master Chen, you don't have to be polite to me. I said I would protect you." Yingzi said in a low voice.

"Then, are you willing to protect me forever?"

Chen Shijun asked boldly, his heart pounding as he finished speaking.

Although Yingzi is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, she is not stupid and can certainly understand what Chen Shijun means.

Yingzi felt shy, happy, and a little ashamed.

Chen Shijun is an official, but she...

Although Shen Qingqian had returned her indenture to her and changed her status from a slave to a farmer, her status was still not worthy of Chen Shijun.

Chen Shijun said this because he saved him and wanted to repay her.

But I saved him willingly and don't need such a reward.

Yingzi said, "Master Chen, we are too far apart. I'm afraid I can't do it."

Yingzi's words are ambiguous. "The long distance" refers on the one hand to the fact that one of them lives in the capital and the other lives in Ping'an Town, which are quite far apart; and the other meaning may be that it refers to the difference in their status!

Chen Shijun was a talented man, so he naturally understood what Yingzi meant.

He said, "Miss Yingzi, I like you, and I can feel that you have me in your heart. You don't have to think too much. I was born in poverty and changed my fate through studying. And you are beautiful and kind, and you have martial arts skills. In my heart, you are the best."

The innocent little girl, who was just beginning to fall in love, felt so sweet in her heart as if it were smeared with honey when she heard such a confession, and she fell in love instantly.

On the other side, Zhang Sheng looked at Shen Qingqian beside him and asked, "Why don't you stay in the carriage, girl? It's so cold sitting here?"

Shen Qingqian tightened her cloak and said, "They seemed to have something to say, so I came out."

Zhang Sheng dropped his whip and said leisurely, "Miss Yingzi seemed to care about Master Chen very much. When she encountered danger, she immediately ran to Master Chen's carriage and was injured when she came back."

Shen Qingqian didn't know how to respond to this, so she just sighed and said, "Well, the injury is not serious, just a little scrape. I have already applied medicine and bandaged her."

Zhang Sheng heard the worry in Shen Qingqian's tone and asked, "Why are you sighing, are you worried about Miss Yingzi?"

Shen Qingqian looked at the confused night and said, "Yes, Yingzi is too naive. She gives her true heart away so easily. I'm afraid she will get hurt."

Zhang Sheng said, "I think Mr. Chen is a nice person and he treats Yingzi very well."

Shen Qingqian said: "I know that Mr. Chen is not a bad person, but this kind of thing cannot be done just because we both want it.

It can be seen that Master Chen's family background is not good. Would a child from an ordinary family, who finally made a name for himself through studying, be willing to marry a woman who has no help at all? Even if Master Chen is willing, what about his family?

What's more, the officialdom is a big melting pot. Lord Chen is a rookie now, and still maintains the innocence of a scholar. Perhaps, he also wants a pure relationship and wants to marry a woman he likes, but in time, he may not think so.

Or maybe I'm overthinking it. Who can predict what will happen in the future? "

If Zhang Sheng hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that these words came from the mouth of a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old!

"Miss, what you said makes sense. Have you ever thought about persuading Miss Yingzi?"

Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "I'll find a chance to remind her, but it probably won't be of any use."

Shen Qingqian knew that it was difficult to persuade a woman in love. She didn't mean to stop Yingzi from liking Chen Shijun, but she didn't want her to be too unreserved and fall too deeply in love. If she couldn't go on, she could get out in time.

The group continued to move forward in the dark. Yingzi and Chen Shijun sat in the carriage, but they finally felt that it was not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone.

Yingzi lifted the car curtain and called to Shen Qingqian in the back, "Girl, come up and sit. It's cold outside."

"it is good!"

Shen Qingqian did not refuse and got on Chen Shijun's carriage again.

This time, the atmosphere in the carriage was obviously much more relaxed. But Shen Qingqian had no intention of chatting with them, and leaned against the wall of the carriage to take a nap.

Yingzi seemed to remember something and asked Chen Shijun: "Master Chen, do you know who those men in black are? Why did they attack you?"

Speaking of this, Shen Qingqian also wanted to know. She didn't open her eyes, but she pricked up her ears.

Chen Shijun said angrily: "I know who sent them. They want to kill me and silence me. They don't dare to do it in the capital, so they intercepted me on the way many times."

"Kill and silence?"

Yingzi was shocked and puzzled. In her opinion, Chen Shijun was a gentleman who was not tainted by the dust. How could he be killed to silence him?

"Master Chen, how did you get into trouble with these people?"

"Yingzi, what time is it?"

Before Chen Shijun could speak, Shen Qingqian yawned, opened his eyes and asked.

Yingzi was attracted by Shen Qingqian's attention and quickly replied: "Miss, are you awake? It should be almost midnight!"

"Oh, I was wondering why I felt a little hungry!" Shen Qingqian said casually.

Chen Shijun said, "Miss Shen, just hold on for a while longer. We should be able to reach Huanggang Town in half an hour."

"it is good!"

Shen Qingqian successfully changed the subject, and Chen Shijun and Yingzi did not continue the original topic.

That's right, Shen Qingqian deliberately stopped Chen Shijun from speaking. Since Chen Shijun said that those people wanted to kill and silence them, then Chen Shijun must have known the secrets of those people.

If Chen Shijun told the secret, they would be in trouble!

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Huanggang Town.

Chen Shijun had already sent people to find an inn in advance and even prepared the food in advance.

Everyone was already tired and hungry after traveling all night, so after a quick meal, they went to rest.

The next day, Shen Qingqian woke up late, which was unusual for her. When she came out after washing up, the others were already having breakfast.

Yingzi and Chen Shijun sat together, both of them had smiles on their faces, and kept picking up food for each other. When Shen Qingqian came over, they didn't see her.

"Girl, come sit here!"

Zhang Sheng shouted towards Shen Qingqian.

Shen Qingqian glanced at Yingzi and Chen Shijun, sighed in her heart, and sat next to Zhang Sheng.

At the dining table, Zhang Sheng had already prepared breakfast for her and even peeled an egg for Shen Qingqian himself.

"Thank you!"

Shen Qingqian said. She had a better impression of Zhang Sheng, a young man in his twenties.
