Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

The setting sun casts its afterglow like a poem, and the sky is gently dyed with a brilliant red.

The clouds, gently caressed by the setting sun, seemed to be covered in a golden coat, gleaming brightly. Each cloud was like a carefully carved gem, and the entire sky seemed to have become a magnificent and enchanting painting, making people linger.

Facing such a beautiful scene, Luo Yu walked slowly in front, followed by a handsome man.

Luo Yu couldn't help but frown. Is this man planning to follow her back to Fang's house?

"Thank you, Master Murong, for accompanying me all the way. It's getting late, you can go back first."

Murong Huaijin has never been a playboy who likes to get entangled with women. Of course, he doesn't consider himself a gentleman.

In the past, countless young women rushed to throw themselves at him, and the girl in front of him gave him an illusion.

He felt that he was actually very ordinary, so ordinary that the girl wanted to drive him away quickly.

Along the way, she never asked for his thoughts and opinions, but just let him lead the way. She asked questions on her own from beginning to end, and then put forward her own ideas for people to think about.

It's really strange.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Luo Yu looked him up and down with an incredulous look.

His face was flushed. The girl's gaze was a little too bold, like the look of a dandy looking at other girls at a place.

"You look well-dressed, so you're not broke, are you? Do you want to live in our Fang house?"

"No, I just made sure the girl got home safely."

"You seem like a nice person, but it's too late today, so I won't take you inside the house. Come find me tomorrow morning and I'll assign you some work."

After saying that, he knocked on the door, walked in and closed it in one go.

"..."

As soon as Luo Yu entered the main hall, Bai Lingyi and Fang Qingdao were already waiting for her return.

"Sister, when I was drawing today, a student said he wanted to help us create. He read a few pages of the story and really liked it. He offered to help us draw for free."

"Is he reliable? How is his painting?"

"Absolutely no problem. He's not very good at school either. Like cousin Fang, he likes to play the piano and paint in his spare time.

He was from Yunpan County and was a wealthy local businessman. He didn't care about making money, saying he only wanted his name to be listed as an artist on the back page of a comic book.

Fang Qingdao: "..."

Want to curse.

Fang Qingdao's trip to the academy was not in vain. He found a student from a poor family, but a young man with a good character and unique painting skills to help him draw the draft.

Luo Yi promised to pay the two of them one guan (a banknote) per book, and if their work was ever leaked, they would be compensated. Just in case, Luo Yi also asked Xiao Yi and Qing Dao to bring the agreement, and to have the two students who joined stamp it with their seals and fingerprints.

She had been busy since Luo Yu came back. She also had to hurry up and finish the outline of the storybook, after all, she wanted to let Master Murong test the quality of the finished work tomorrow.

……

There was a sigh inside Guan's house.

The eldest lady of the Guan family was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, questioning the third son of the Guan family: "Yi'er, are you sure that the unruly and difficult woman is Bai Fengchu, the eldest daughter of the Bai family?"

"Mom, how could I lie to you? I really can't imagine she would be such a shameless woman."

"Although I only saw her once as a child, she was indeed well-behaved and gentle then. Logically speaking, based on Madam Bai's virtuous nature and teachings, her daughter shouldn't have turned out badly."

"Mom, you just don't want to help me cancel this marriage, right?"

"Cancel?" Madam Guan looked at her third son, who looked good but was not very useful, and her tone softened. "Even if the engagement needs to be cancelled, it should be the Bai family who takes the initiative. Yi'er, can't you use your brain a little? Why would the girl anger you?"

"Is it because she also hopes that the child will take the initiative to cancel the engagement?"

Master Guan San is not stupid. After all, he didn't say those key words, such as asking him to study hard, take the imperial examinations and pursue a career in officialdom.

"It seems my Yi'er has grown a brain."

Master Guan San's face was gloomy. Is there any mother who praises her son like this?

"Why would she look down on me? She's so thin and small, and apart from a face that pretends to be innocent and weak, there's nothing good about her."

"Yes, my Yi'er is the smartest and best-looking. Then you have to think carefully about how to make this Bai girl take the initiative to cancel the contract. Look, her brother is also called Yi'er, and he was born at the age of 12. What about you? You are already old at 16, and you are useless."

"Mom, you will only harm your child and yourself."

"Yi'er, if the engagement cannot be cancelled, you can marry Miss Bai next year, and then mother will help you teach her a lesson."

"I don't want to marry her."

"That's fine. You can take the exam to become a scholar or something, and mother will agree to cancel your engagement."

This son, whether stupid or not, is spoiled by the old man and old lady of the Guan family and has become lawless. It is really difficult to change him at his age now, and we can only use rough methods to motivate him.

Mrs. Guan also disliked the current Bai family, and the Fang family was already in a state of decline. It wasn't that she disliked the eldest daughter of the Bai family's main branch, but because the boy was good-looking and many ladies from wealthy families were interested in him, this marriage was still very valuable.

Besides, she felt uncomfortable after hearing San'er say those nonsense that Bai Fengchu said just now. An unmarried woman had no shame in public. It would be troublesome to marry such a woman into Guan's house.

Coupled with the boy's bad temper, if these two insist on getting together, it will definitely be a chaotic day.

The Guan family is currently under considerable pressure in their business in Liangzhou City, and San'er's engagement is not the most urgent matter at the moment.

Just go along with them for now. I believe that sooner or later the eldest lady of the Bai family will want to save her face and break off this engagement.

A drifting house in a square house.

Yan Xuan and He Yuan had just laid down for less than half an hour when Qin Bingrui knocked on their door again.

This girl is full of energy every day. Doesn't she need to sleep?

Yan Xuan and He Yuan were so tired that they could hardly stretch their legs. Who would have thought that working was more tiring than chasing people and practicing martial arts.

"Miss Qin, I'm asleep. We'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

"Nonsense, you didn't sleep when you could talk. Hurry up and get up. It's only this hour now. Aren't you tired of sleeping for so long?"

"Miss Qin, what's going on tonight?"

"Get up and practice martial arts. Have a competition with me. It's been so long since I last practiced that I don't know how good I am. By the way, let's fight Bai Hu together and see if we can defeat her."

"..."

When Yan Xuan and He Yuan heard this, they jumped up.

Xia Liang spends the whole day either eating or sleeping. He also hopes to have someone to accompany him to practice his body flexibility. He doesn't want to turn into a fat tiger in the end.

In the days to come, they still have thousands of miles to go!

Yan Xuan opened the door and saw the white tiger squatting behind Miss Qin. When it saw him, it raised its paw as if to greet him.

It's really sad.
