At the beginning, I saved a little mute

The popular topic of conversation in Fufeng County recently revolves around tofu.

Just meet.

“Did you buy/sell tofu today?”

Everyone knows that selling tofu can make money nowadays, even if it's not much, it's still a lot.

A piece of tofu is so cheap, and a frugal person can eat it for two days.

Although the county town was depressed, there were still so many people, and tofu sold very well for a while.

In a restaurant like Li Yaozong’s, the chef has developed several ways of eating it.

Naturally, it is more expensive than outside.

But for ordinary people, what's the point of being more expensive? They are all made of tofu.

More people are eyeing the small business of selling tofu.

That stuff sells well.

You know, recently some people are selling their products not only in the county, but also outside the county.

There are towns and villages around, so if we can open up sales channels, we will naturally make money.

No matter how badly people treat themselves, children still need to eat, and tofu is not expensive.

It was half a month later when Que Yunsheng received Xie Chengjing's reply.

The letter brought by the two guards contained not only a letter, but also three silver notes worth one hundred taels.

"Hey, what is this?" Que Yunsheng picked up the two indentures and was very confused.

The two looked at each other and clasped their fists towards Que Yunsheng, "The master has ordered us to protect the young master and Miss Jiang here from now on."

Xie Chengjing initially asked them to follow Que Yunsheng with the intention of monitoring him.

However, the previous tofu recipe gave Xie Chengjing some new ideas.

Maybe he should change his mindset and look at this engaged couple.

There were many guards in the mansion, so Xie Chengjing simply sent two of them.

Be more generous, you may gain more in the future.

Que Yunsheng put away the banknotes and the indenture and burned the letter directly.

"Since you're following me, change your name from now on."

"Master, please give me a name."

"From now on, you will be called Huaifeng, and you will be called Huaijian."

"Thank you for the name, Young Master. Huaifeng/Huaijian greets you, Young Master."

The two men knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then followed Que Yunsheng.

At this point, Jiang had settled down relatively well, and he had two more guards around him. Que Yunsheng was thinking about reporting to the military camp.

In the evening, he told Jiang Zao about this matter and asked Huaifeng and the other man to meet Jiang Zao.

Instruct them to protect Jiang Zao's safety in the future.

Then let them take turns to keep watch and keep the door closed.

Then he took out three silver bills and two indentures from his pocket.

"Where are they from? Who are they? Are they reliable?" Jiang knew about the indenture contract, so she shouldn't doubt the person that Que Yunsheng was looking for.

But seeing these two tall and strong men standing here, Jiang Zao couldn't help but wonder where they came from.

There are no such strong men among the pimps who sell girls and boys in the county town.

If Huaifeng and Huaijian knew that Jiang Zao thought of them this way, they would definitely feel even more aggrieved.

They had no worries about food and drink when they followed the Third Prince, but when they came here, not only was there not much meat to eat, but even their mouths were filled with sand. The two of them lost several pounds.

"I found them. They are reliable. Even if they want to do something else, they should consider that the contract of sale is in your hands."

Jiang Zao put it away solemnly.

Take the time to look at the three silver bills.

"So many banknotes?" He counted them. "Three hundred taels?"

Que Yunsheng smiled and said, "It's all yours. You should keep the money you earned from selling your son."

Jiang Zao was extremely surprised. She never expected that she could get so many banknotes.

In her original idea, someone like the Third Prince would definitely feel embarrassed to get a prescription for free and would definitely pay for it.

She estimated that it would be at most fifty taels, as the cost was too low and there was no technical content involved.

The result was three hundred taels. For the sake of the silver note, Jiang decided to improve his impression of the Third Prince and give him an extra point.

She took one and pushed the rest in front of Que Yunsheng, "Keep these."

Que Yunsheng said, "You deserve it all, your recipe, your idea."

Jiang Zao smiled and said, "But it was you who helped me make it happen. Otherwise, how could I have gotten so much money?"

Seeing that Que Yunsheng was still trying to refuse, she said as a matter of course, "Just accept it and save it for when you get married."

Queyunshengteng stood up, his ears reddened, "We are an engaged couple."

He had already made up his mind, how could he marry someone else?

Jiang Zao doesn't look like he's lying.

Could it be that Jiang Zao didn't like him?

"That's just a stopgap measure in an emergency." Jiang Zao spread his hands.

Que Yunsheng stared at her closely, his eyes reddening.

For some reason, Jiang Zao's heart trembled.

"Jiang Zao, do you really think so?"

Jiang Zao looked at his scarlet eyes and felt that he might cry.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she said cautiously, "Que Yunsheng, don't you think so?"

They were fake.

Moreover, how could she, an adult whose soul was in her twenties, be interested in a little kid, even though the kid was a year older than her and half a head taller than her.

They were just kids.

The reason why she would always follow Que Yunsheng was because of her fledgling complex. She always felt safer with him and she trusted him more.

Que Yunsheng's body shook and he looked at Jiang Zao in disbelief.

Obviously...Jiang had already followed him to the North.

Isn’t this what it means to be willing?

Why doesn't it sound like that?

Maybe he considered Jiang Zao as his responsibility at the beginning, but as they got to know each other better, he developed different feelings for her.

Besides, they had kissed each other, slept together (in the cave), and held hands countless times.

Jiang Zao wants to regret it now?

Seeing Jiang Zao's unconscious appearance, Que Yunsheng gritted his teeth and said, "I will marry you in the future. Since you kissed me, I will be responsible for you."

Jiang Zao felt uncomfortable no matter how he heard the word "responsible".

Her expression turned ugly and she turned her head to the side. “I don’t need you to be responsible.”

What is responsible?

Is it just responsibility?

So why did they stay together for so long?

Que Yunsheng also helped her everywhere and stood up for her.

At this moment, Jiang Zao was unwilling to go back and think about his previous thoughts.

That is, she would not fall in love with Que Yunsheng, who was just a child.

Now one of them is twelve and the other is eleven, and there will be many variables in the future.

Even if Que Yunsheng wants to be responsible for her now, it is inevitable that he will meet someone he likes in the future. What should he do then?

Might as well make it clear from the beginning.

When they all grow up, things will definitely be different from now.

Que Yunsheng felt sour and depressed that his chest ached.

His chest heaved as he spoke with difficulty, "I will report to the Hexi camp tomorrow. Please be careful and keep the banknotes."

After saying that, he left.

Until the room was quiet.

Jiang Zaocai turned his head, his eyes were red, but he didn't cry.

She sat alone on the bed in a daze for a long time, until the oil lamp went out and she barely fell asleep.
