A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Xu Guangming turned his gaze and saw her. His smile deepened. "The noodles that Young Master Ye sent last time were extremely delicious. Today is the opening of Young Master Ye's new store, so of course I have to come and support him!"

Ye Qingxue smiled, turned to the side and quickly said, "Then Magistrate Xu, please come in. What would you like to eat? It's on me."

Xu Guangming laughed and stepped into the shop: "How can that be? How can we let a junior like you treat us!"

Ye Qingxue followed, instructed the waiter to serve tea, and then chatted with Magistrate Xu with a smile.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he saw that Wen Yanyu had also arrived.

"Why are you here too?" Ye Qingxue asked him, then pointed to the empty seat next to her, "Please sit down."

Wen Yanyu sat down with a refined smile: "Today is of great significance to Brother Ye, so of course I must be present."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue shook her head and smiled, her heart instantly filled with warmth.

"Alright, then I'll definitely treat you to a good time!"

Ye Qingxue turned around and went to give instructions to the kitchen.

After a busy day, seeing off wave after wave of guests.

After the sun set and the guests gradually left, Ye Qingxue was finally able to rest for a while.

Although I was tired, I felt very satisfied.

More importantly, the money I earned today is almost the same as what that small noodle stall earned in five days!

Ye Qingxue's face was practically splitting with a smile as she looked at the boxes of silver behind the counter.

As she stepped out from behind the counter, she suddenly realized that the two ladies were still there.

Ye Qingxue was a little puzzled, so she stepped forward and asked, "Ladies, our shop is closing up now. Would you like to eat anything else?"

"No, sir, I specifically waited for you here." The young lady seemed a little hesitant to look at her.

Ye Qingxue was taken aback. "Wait for me?"

The young lady took a pink sachet from her waist, gently biting her lower lip, as if hesitating about something.

Then he took a deep breath, held the sachet in both hands, and handed it to Ye Qingxue.

"Um, I wonder if you're free the day after tomorrow? My sister and I are going boating on the lake and would like to invite you to join us..."

what?

Ye Qingxue's eyes widened in surprise.

How come you asked me to go out with you after we just met and I don't even know your name?

What does this mean? How did people in ancient times make friends?

While Ye Qingxue was still in a daze, the charming young lady couldn't wait any longer, so she stuffed the sachet into Ye Qingxue's hand and then turned and ran away.

Ye Qingxue was a little confused. She put the sachet away and thought that since she had nothing to do recently, going boating would be a good idea. She shouldn't let the young lady down.

Beside him, Shan Xuan tidied up the tables and chairs, a smile on his face, and walked over to Ye Qingxue, teasingly asking, "Boss Ye, which young lady has taken a fancy to you?"

Ye Qingxue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "They just want to be friends with me."

Dan Xuan shook his head with a mysterious smile: "Boss Ye, you don't know this, but when people here take a fancy to a young master or lady, they will give them a personal item and invite them to go out for fun. If the other person accepts, it means that they also have feelings for him."

"You have such a habit?" Ye Qingxue was somewhat surprised.

Although she was dressed in men's clothing, Ye Qingxue subconsciously continued to think like a woman and didn't react for a moment.

Thinking back now, that young lady's actions and expressions were indeed...

Ye Qingxue was startled by her own thoughts and felt the sachet at her waist getting hot.

"Shan Xuan, don't talk nonsense and ruin that young lady's reputation. I will talk to her about it the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Shan Xuan shook his head and sighed maturely, "Alas, another young girl's heart is about to be broken."

Ye Qingxue glared at him and slapped his head: "Are you bored? Finished washing the dishes? Go do some chores!"

Dan Xuan covered his head and ran away.

Ye Qingxue looked at the sachet at her waist, pondering something, and then sighed.

This is really troublesome. How am I going to explain this to that lady the day after tomorrow?

Thinking this, Ye Qingxue unconsciously paced around the noodle shop. In the blink of an eye, she saw Wen Yanyu walking out of Shidinglou across the street and heading towards her.

Ye Qingxue walked towards him, somewhat puzzled: "Why are you here again?"

Wen Yanyu smiled slightly and said, "No, I just suddenly remembered that a friend invited me to go boating on the lake the day after tomorrow, and I was wondering if you have time to go together?"

Then he added, "Your new shop is opening today, and I was thinking of taking you out to celebrate. You've only been in Qingshui County for a short time, so you probably haven't explored the area yet."

Ye Qingxue's mouth gaped slightly: "Boating again?"

Wen Yanyu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that a young girl just invited me to go boating too," Ye Qingxue replied, shaking her head.

Wen Yanyu was somewhat surprised, then suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Ye to be so charming."

Ye Qingxue quickly waved her hand: "No, that's not true. We just met for the first time."

Wen Yanyu noticed the sachet at your waist that wasn't a typical men's style. "You've already accepted the token, Brother Ye, so don't be shy."

Seeing his increasingly meaningful expression, Ye Qingxue quickly explained, "I didn't know this was a kind of token. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have accepted it."

As you spoke, your expression turned troubled: "Speaking of which, Brother Wen, could you tell me how to refuse someone's kindness without hurting their feelings?"

Seeing that your helpless expression didn't seem fake, Wen Yanyu seemed relieved and then said, "According to common sense, it's easy for a man and a woman to be alone together, which can lead to misunderstandings. Brother Ye, you can find someone to accompany you. That way, the girl should understand what you mean."

Ye Qingxue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

That makes sense.

Ye Qingxue clapped her hands and said, "Alright, Brother Wen is also going to go boating on the lake, so you can come with me."

Then, remembering something, she asked him, "Oh, by the way, you just said a friend invited you out. Who is it? Will he mind?"

Wen Yanyu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression instantly became somewhat unnatural. He raised his hand and touched his nose.

Seeing his expression, Ye Qingxue narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "You wouldn't have been invited by a woman, would you?"

Wen Yanyu's expression grew increasingly awkward, and he coughed, placing his right fist to his lips.

This is the default.

"Oh, so you're using me as a tool too? No wonder you suddenly asked me to go boating on the lake!" Ye Qingxue put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry as she glared at her.

She didn't realize that her expression was so charming that it didn't seem like something a man would do.

Wen Yanyu was momentarily stunned.

When you come to your senses, he coughs lightly as if to cover something up, while you stare at him, completely oblivious.

"Brother Ye, I originally wanted to tell you this, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet..."

Seeing his stammering, Ye Qingxue chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. Let's go together the day after tomorrow."

Wen Yanyu chuckled and said, "Okay."
