"Master! Miss Su!"

Qiao San hurried in from outside the door.

Huaizhi failed to stop her in time and pulled her third sister's sleeve in frustration, but Su Yu and Jin Xuerong had already seen it.

Qiao San looked at Huaizhi in confusion, helped him away from pulling her sleeve, and patted his head.

"I have something to talk to the master and Miss Su about. If you have something to say, we can talk later."

After Qiao San finished speaking, he walked towards the window of the main house, bowed to Su Yu and Jin Xuerong, and said,

"Master, Miss Su, I have to go to Cangzhou City to buy some things. I thought you left in a hurry and was worried that you might have forgotten something.

I came here specifically to ask, if there is any, I will bring it to you when I return to Jin Mansion from Cangzhou City."

Su Yu gently stroked Jin Xuerong's black hair that was scattered behind her back and said with concern,

"Did you forget to take anything?"

Jin Xuerong looked up at Su Yu and shook her head.

"No."

The two turned to Qiao San. Just as Su Yu was about to speak, he noticed a messy head poking in from the entrance of the Taoist temple and looking around.

Seeing Su Yu looking at the courtyard gate behind her, Qiao San turned away in confusion.

The messy-headed girl at the gate noticed someone was looking at her, and hurriedly looked over. She immediately made eye contact with Qiao San who had turned around, and waved to him happily.

"Boss Qiao! Are you ready? We should go!"

Qiao San looked at the slovenly man at the door, frowned, waved his hands repeatedly at her, and said in a somewhat stiff tone,

"Go out and wait first!"

The disheveled-haired man saw that Qiao San was unhappy, so he retreated cautiously.

Seeing the people retreat, Qiao San quickly turned around and bowed to Su Yu and Jin Xuerong,

"Master, Miss Su, please forgive me. The man just now was Carpenter Chen from the village. I went to Cangzhou City to buy some tools used by Carpenter Chen.

Miss Su and her master also knew that she was working on a plow recently. This was a major event in the village and could not be delayed.

That's why she was a little anxious just now. I hope Master and Miss Su will forgive her."

Su Yu paused. He had just seen the plow yesterday and mentioned Carpenter Chen. Today he met him in person. What a fate! He then asked with concern,

"The other plows aren't ready yet?"

Seeing that her master and Miss Su were not angry, Qiao San felt relieved and replied,

"Yes, I made a plow cart before, and Carpenter Chen was short of some parts. He used up all the parts after making the plow cart, so he hurried to the city to buy some more."

Seeing Qiao San say this, Su Yu immediately wanted to give some advice. At this time, the straight-beam plow had just become popular, and it was unknown how long it would take for the curved-beam plow to be transformed.

The hard work of the villagers yesterday was still vivid in Su Yu's mind. He thought it was a good thing to save them some trouble.

What's more, this place belongs to Jin Xuerong's manor. Thinking of this, Su Yu told Qiao San,

"When you come back from the city this afternoon and send Carpenter Chen back, come and see me."

Although Qiao San didn't quite understand what Su Yu meant, as a subordinate he naturally responded to his master's words.

Before leaving, Qiao San grabbed the locust branch and walked to the door to ask,

"Huaizhi, what did you want to say when you grabbed me just now? Is there anything you need me to bring you?"

Huaizhi pushed away Qiao San's arm, looking helpless.

"Nothing to say, and you don't need to bring anything. Just go and come back quickly. Be careful on the road."

Qiao San looked at his brother's unfriendly expression and asked uncertainly,

"Really?"

Huaizhi impatiently turned Qiao San towards the carriage and pushed her towards it.

"Really! Go quickly!"

Seeing his brother like this, Qiao San was sure that he really didn't need her to bring anything, and said to Huaizhi behind him,

"Okay, okay, I got it. You stay home and take good care of the master and Miss Su. I'm leaving now."

"Got it! Long-winded!"

By the window of the master bedroom, Jin Xuerong stroked the flower ring with her fingers, looking thoughtful. Then she looked up at Su Yu and asked,

"Are you looking for Carpenter Chen this afternoon?"

Su Yu's eyes moved from the book to Jin Xuerong's face. Seeing his confident expression, he doted on the tip of his nose.

"Xuerong is really getting to know me better and better now."

Jin Xuerong was puzzled when she heard Su Yu's affirmative words.

"Why are you looking for Carpenter Chen? I know you can make jewelry, but can you also do carpentry?"

Su Yu smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not. I'm not that omnipotent."

Jin Xuerong was even more puzzled.

"Then why did you go to see Carpenter Chen?"

Su Yu explained with a smile,

"Because I need to discuss this with her."

Jin Xuerong asked curiously,

"What are you discussing?"

Su Yu smiled without saying anything. Jin Xuerong squinted her eyes and looked at Su Yu. She raised her hand and started to tickle her.

"What are we discussing? Tell me! Tell me! What are we discussing?"

Su Yu smiled and grabbed Jin Xuerong's two hands, pulled them around her waist, hugged him and explained softly,

"We're discussing things about farm tools. You don't understand, but you insist on knowing."

Jin Xuerong leaned obediently against Su Yu's chest and said,

"Then I want to know too! I want to know everything about you!"

Su Yu smiled and replied subconsciously,

"What about your story? Do you want to tell me everything too?"

Jin Xuerong was startled, and her arms around Su Yu tightened unconsciously.

Feeling the increasing force on his waist, Su Yu thought Jin Xuerong was recalling something bad, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Didn't the village send us cherries and loquats last time? Why don't we pick some these days? They'll be incredibly fresh if we pick and eat them right away!"

Jin Xuerong nodded in Su Yu's arms, and held Su Yu's clothes tightly from behind.

"Okay, let's go pick cherries tomorrow."

Su Yu gently stroked the black hair draped behind Jin Xuerong's back.

In the afternoon, Qiao San brought Su Yu and Jin Xuerong, followed by Huaizhi and Dazhuang, to the door of Carpenter Chen's house.

Qiao San went to knock on the door. Two young men opened the door. One of the older men was puzzled and asked,

"Why is Aunt Qiao here again after just leaving?"

Qiao San said to the older Xiao Lang,

"Where's your mother? My lady-in-law wants to see her."

In the yard, Chen the Carpenter's husband heard his children calling Aunt Qiao. Who else could there be in Xiguo Village except the headmaster Qiao? When he heard the children calling Aunt Qiao, he immediately rushed to the door.

Seeing that it was indeed the Qiao boss, he immediately opened the door and said warmly,

"Boss Qiao, come in quickly. Are you looking for my old Chen? She's busy working on the plow in the yard!"

As he was speaking, Chen Carpenter's husband called out to Chen Carpenter in the yard,

"Old Chen! Manager Qiao is looking for you!"

The two young men nearby were a little shocked when they saw Su Yu behind their Aunt Qiao. Isn’t this the fairy by the stream?

The two of them thought of her hugging a man by the stream, and their faces gradually turned red. They dared not look at her anymore.

She wanted to leave but the elders were still there and she couldn't leave at will, so she blushed and lowered her head to look at her toes.
