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

Seeing her actions, Zhao Ciyan's eyes flashed with understanding.

"When does Brother Ye plan to move to Qingshui County?" Zhao Ciyan asked, seemingly trying to change the subject.

"It should be in the next few days. I'll go to the West Market tomorrow to buy some furniture, and once it's all set up, I can move in anytime."

Zhao Ciyan took a sip of tea and smiled, "Then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow? I'm leaving Qingshui County in a few days anyway, so I should make the most of my time to shop around."

Ye Qingxue just learned that Zhao Ciyan had only recently come to Qingshui County in order to sell that property.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingxue nodded: "Okay, shall we meet at the West Market at noon tomorrow?"

"According to your."

As they finished talking, Ye Qingxue told Wen Yanyu to go back first, while she stayed behind to look for him.

"Alright, see you tomorrow, Brother Ye."

"See you tomorrow."

Just after seeing Zhao Ciyan off, Wen Yanyu came upstairs: "Brother Ye, were you looking for me?"

Ye Qingxue nodded and asked directly, "Brother Wen, do you have any suitable shopkeepers to recommend to me?"

Wen Yanyu immediately understood her meaning: "Brother Ye, you want to hire a manager. That's easy. I happen to have a few candidates. I'll call them over in a couple of days, and you can choose one."

Ye Qingxue hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and quickly said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wen."

Just as they were about to say goodbye, Wen Yanyu suddenly asked, "Brother Ye, how did you two meet that Young Master Zhao?"

Ye Qingxue was slightly taken aback before smiling and saying, "It's quite a coincidence. I was planning to buy a house in the county, and I happened to have my eye on Brother Zhao's house, which is how we met."

Wen Yanyu paused for a moment, then smiled: "Really? That's quite a coincidence."

He then asked, "Brother Ye, are you moving to Qingshui County?"

There was a hint of surprise in those words.

Ye Qingxue smiled at him and said, "Yes, it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to tell you."

Wen Yanyu was pleased by her explanation and smiled, "It's alright, it's not too late to tell me now. Do you need to buy furniture? I can take you to see some."

Ye Qingxue's mouth opened slightly: "Ah, Brother Zhao will accompany me to the West Market tomorrow. Brother Wen, you're so busy, so I won't trouble you."

For some reason, Ye Qingxue felt that Wen Yanyu's eyes changed for a moment.

"Ah, so Brother Ye already has an appointment. I was too careless in thinking this through."

Ye Qingxue inexplicably felt that Wen Yanyu seemed somewhat wronged.

After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Brother Wen, if you're willing, would you like to come with us tomorrow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faint emotion in Wen Yanyu's eyes instantly melted away, and he smiled again: "I'd be more than willing."

……

The next day, Zhao Ciyan's forehead twitched when he saw Wen Yanyu standing next to Ye Qingxue.

"Brother Ye, I thought it was just the two of us today."

Ye Qingxue was carefully examining the furniture in the shops along the street when she heard this and casually replied, "Brother Wen has lived in Qingshui County for many years and knows this place well. If we invite him to come along, we won't get ripped off by the unscrupulous shopkeepers!"

Wen Yanyu smiled and said to Zhao Ciyan, “Yes, Brother Zhao must have just arrived in Qingshui County. If you need anything, you can tell me. Brother Ye’s friend is my friend.”

"Young Master Wen, you're too kind." Zhao Ciyan smiled faintly and glanced at Wen Yanyu.

Wen Yanyu smiled and looked back at him.

Ye Qingxue walked ahead, unaware of the strange atmosphere between the two behind her. Seeing a shop that caught her eye, she quickly went inside.

"Brother Wen, Brother Zhao, let's go into this shop and take a look!"

Upon entering the shop, Ye Qingxue discovered that it was a hidden gem.

The furniture shop looks ordinary from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly large.

The building has two floors, and the furniture inside is all novel and unusual.

The bedding, supports, and screens were all exquisitely crafted and ingeniously designed, dazzling Ye Qingxue.

She took a stroll around with great interest and saw many things that Ye Qingxue found interesting, but most of them were already in the new house. Ye Qingxue didn't have the financial means to replace the entire house with a new one.

However, there is one item that you can buy.

It is a folding silk screen with pale pink peach blossom patterns carved on the silk surface, and the edges are decorated with exquisite embroidery and tiny gemstones.

This was something that wasn't in the house, and Ye Qingxue liked it very much when she saw it.

"Boss, how much is this screen?"

The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward: "Young master, you have excellent taste. This screen is the finest item in our shop. It's priced at eight taels of silver, fair and square."

Ye Qingxue raised an eyebrow, feeling the price was a bit too high: "Could you make it cheaper?"

The shop owner smiled apologetically at her: "The prices in our shop are non-negotiable. Perhaps you could look at other places, young lady."

Ye Qingxue hesitated; she really liked the screen.

Seeing her dilemma, Wen Yanyu spoke up at the right moment: "Brother Ye, as far as I know, there are other screens with similar styles to this one, but at much lower prices. Why don't I take you there to take a look?"

Ye Qingxue glanced at the screen again, still feeling somewhat reluctant.

The silk of this screen has an excellent texture, and the arrangement of the gemstones is also pleasing to the eye.

Never mind, I'll buy it another day.

Just as they were about to leave, they realized that Zhao Ciyan had gone somewhere.

Ye Qingxue looked around at the shop entrance and saw Zhao Ciyan walk out of the furniture shop from somewhere inside.

"Brother Ye? You're not buying it anymore?"

Ye Qingxue shook her head at him, her expression unchanged, but a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes: "Well, let's go look somewhere else."

Zhao Ciyan tilted his head to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It's a bit of a shame not to buy what you like. Maybe things will change if we wait a little longer?"

Ye Qingxue felt he was just trying to comfort her, so she shook her head and smiled, "Brother Zhao, it's alright, I don't necessarily have to buy it, let's go..."

"Hey! Young master! You just took a fancy to this screen, didn't you?"

Inside the shop, the owner suddenly jogged over to Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue turned around in confusion: "Yes, what's wrong with the boss?"

The shopkeeper, beaming with delight, said to Ye Qingxue, "Young master, I suddenly remembered that this screen shop is having a promotion. Buy an eight-immortal table and you can enter a prize draw. There's a great chance you can win a screen for free!"

Ye Qingxue chuckled. This boss really knew how to do business; he was trying to entice her to buy his table.

Although she had just seen this table and liked it very much.

"Never mind... I'll just..."

"Boss, you said it yourself, so I'll take this table." Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ciyan spoke up first.

Ye Qingxue turned to look at him in surprise.

Zhao Ciyan turned her head, her casual gaze meeting Ye Qingxue's, and chuckled, "Don't misunderstand, I bought this for my cousin Zhao. I accidentally broke one of their tables a few days ago."

Is it such a coincidence?

Ye Qingxue stared at him suspiciously for a while, but saw that his gaze was calm and he showed no sign of guilt.

"So you're giving me your chance to win the prize?"

Zhao Ciyan raised an eyebrow at her: "I have no interest in this pink stuff."

Ye Qingxue rolled her eyes at him; this guy still had such a sharp tongue!

A hint of joy flashed in Ye Qingxue's eyes, but she still turned to the shopkeeper and smiled, "Then can I participate in the lucky draw?"

The shopkeeper quickly agreed and took out a wooden box from the counter, which contained many slips of paper.

As Ye Qingxue reached out to pull it away, she suddenly tensed up and instinctively grabbed Wen Yanyu's sleeve.

Zhao Ciyan lowered his eyes and glanced indifferently at the sleeve that she had been tugging at, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

"Congratulations, young master! You've won! You can take this screen home for free!"

Soon, the boss's congratulations rang out, and Ye Qingxue felt as if she was being overwhelmed by the surprise.

Have I been having a lot of good luck lately?

"Young master, you can arrange a time and place, and our shop offers home delivery service."

"Ah, okay..."
