Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

When they arrived at Guhong Tower, the diners inside were all discussing the "hero saving the beauty" incident that had just happened.

"Yao Jianxin is truly a romantic man! I heard those idlers were all notorious murderers. He actually fought with them for a woman. He is truly a role model for our generation."

"Yao Jianxin has been famous in Guangling Prefecture for several years. This time, after returning from the capital, he did not go directly to Michuan County to take up his post, but came to Linshui, just for Xie Qinghuan."

"If you ask me, you guys are really naive... Yao Jianxin is an official. What idler dares to hit an official?"

"what do you mean?"

"Don't say it, don't say it."

"Stop pretending. Yao Jianxin's head was broken. How can you fake it?"

"How can you deceive people without shedding some blood? Don't forget that Xie Qinghuan was born under the Red Sleeves, so he's very smart."

"If you ask me, there's no point in Yao Jianxin going to all this trouble. Even if Xie Qinghuan isn't a prostitute right now, she still makes a living by singing. Is that something a decent woman would do? This woman is definitely not a good match."

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you really think Yao Jianxin wants to marry her? He just wants to sleep with Xie Qinghuan before he takes up his new post, fulfilling his old wish."

After listening for a while, Chen Lang realized that this "hero saving the beauty" incident was consistent with his own speculation.

It's a routine.

Chen Lang said nothing, walked through the passage behind the counter, entered the backyard, and came to the room where Xie Qinghuan usually rested.

Xie Qinghuan was sitting on a chair while her maid was applying a boiled egg to her face.

The palm print on my face is very light and should fade away in a day or two.

After seeing Chen Lang, Xie Qinghuan wanted to stand up and salute, but Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "Miss Xie, there's no need to be polite. Just sit down."

"You go out first, I want to talk to Miss Xie alone."

The maid stuffed the cooked egg into Xie Qinghuan's hand and asked her young lady to apply hot compress herself. After bowing to Chen Lang, she retreated.

After the door closed, Chen Lang asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Xie Qinghuan shook his head and said, "It was just a light hit, it doesn't hurt."

Chen Lang asked, "Didn't Manager Hu arrange two guards for you? Where are they?"

Xie Qinghuan said, "They both had stomach upsets last night, so they've taken the day off today."

Chen Lang said: "Oh? What a coincidence."

"When the guards took leave, you encountered a jerk who tried to harass you on the road, and then you happened to run into a suitor, and he stepped forward and fought off the jerk for you?"

Xie Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, Yao Jianxin... isn't mine... but I'm kind of... "

Chen Lang said: "I understand."

Xie Qinghuan looked at Chen Lang with her beautiful brows furrowed, as if she was about to cry.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, and she spoke, enunciating each word.

"Yao Jianxin and I have nothing to do with each other."

Chen Lang nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

After thinking for a moment, he asked seriously: "It's not related, is it that kind of relationship?"

Xie Qinghuan's expression was originally very serious, but after hearing Chen Lang's words, he tensed for a moment, and finally couldn't hold it back, lowered his head and chuckled.

"I knew him from Hongxiuzhao before."

Chen Lang said: "I heard he is very famous."

Xie Qinghuan was a little surprised: "Mr. Chen is also a scholar, haven't you heard of him?"

Chen Lang said calmly: "Maybe I've heard it, but I've forgotten it."

"Let's not talk about him for now, Miss Xie, what are your plans next?"

"I mean, are you still going to continue singing in Guhong Tower?"

Xie Qinghuan was a little panicked: "Mr. Chen, you don't want me anymore?"

Chen Lang said: "Of course not."

"My initial idea was to use the girl's appearance and fame to hype up Hongyanzui."

"But the effect is much better than I expected. I feel like the girl's fame now is even greater than before in Hongxiuzhao."

"The girl left Hongxiuzhao because she wanted to escape this world of fame and fortune, but I pulled her back."

"Because of your fame, your former suitors are even more eager to get you, even resorting to extreme means."

"If you don't want to continue singing in Guhong Tower, I will respect your opinion. As for the liquidated damages written in the contract, they will all be void."

"From now on, girl, just focus on being a spokesperson for bras."

Xie Qinghuan stroked the hair by her ear, smiled, and said, "After leaving Hongxiuzhao, I tried many ways to make money, but in the end I didn't make any money, and I even spent all the savings that my sisters had worked hard to accumulate over the years."

"If Master Chen hadn't found me and asked me to sing at Guhong Tower, I might never have earned this much money on my own."

"During the time I was singing in Guhong Tower, I also understood a truth: people must know themselves."

"My ability to make money is playing music and singing lyrics. I can't do anything else."

"As long as I stay true to my heart, even if I do something like what I did in Red Sleeves, there's nothing shameful about it."

Chen Lang said: "Well said, I give you a thumbs up."

"Leave this to me. I'll go meet Yao Jianxin. If he continues to pester me, I'll..."

Xie Qinghuan said, "Mr. Chen, Yao Jianxin, I will take care of it. No need to trouble you."

Chen Lang was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

Xie Qinghuan nodded: "It's just that I'm picking up the same tricks I used to deal with men in Hongxiuzhao."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Alright, if you need me, just ask."

"Oh, by the way, we can't keep those two guards anymore. I'll ask Shopkeeper Hu to replace them with two new ones."

Xie Qinghuan said, "Thank you, Master Chen."

Chen Lang said: "If everything is fine, I'll leave. I have to go home and continue my experiments."

Xie Qinghuan said, "I'll see you off, young master."

"No need, you take a rest."

Chen Lang came to the front lobby and explained everything to Manager Hu.

"Miss Xie won't be able to sing today. Please ask someone to invite Tian Yuzhu to fill in today's vacancy. Then replace Xie Qinghuan with two guards. The two from before are no longer available."

Hu Heyuan nodded: "I understand."

Chen Lang said: "You are busy, I will go back first."

Just as he was about to leave, a surprised voice came from the side: "Mr. Chen, hey, I finally see you."

Chen Lang turned around and saw Zhu Shan striding towards him. When he was almost there, he bowed and said, "Mr. Chen, I am honored to meet you."

Chen Lang was surprised and said, "Mr. Zhu, are you still in Linshui? There is no Jing'an County."

Zhu Shan said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I am now considered half a water person."

"I am a teacher at Linshui County School."

"Mr. Chen, please give me more guidance in the future."

Chen Lang said, "Mr. Zhu, you are too kind. I don't deserve your guidance."

"Since Master Zhu has come to Linshui to teach...how about this? I'll treat Master Zhu to a drink today. How do you think?"

Zhu Shan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Chen Lang said, "Please come upstairs!" "Thank you readers for your donations. For some reason, the list of donations I have displayed here is very general and I can't thank you accurately, so I would like to thank all readers here.

Thank you all for your donations and votes."
