Chapter 29 Master Tong is a warm man
That's right! If he wasn't a love-brained person, how could he give up the throne that was within his grasp and fall in love with the heroines and heroes?
Tsk tsk! Although he despised her in his heart, Jiang Youzhen's face was full of envy.
"It's great to be able to read!" Jiang Youzhen sighed. She had to find an opportunity to openly show that she could read.
Looking at Jiang Youzhen's little head lying on the small table, Tong Huaian suddenly felt that this boy was still somewhat likable. He reminded him of the furry little cat at home.
He was moved, "Want to learn to read?"
Jiang Youzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes!"
Isn't this like a pillow for a sleepy person? When the love brain is not suspicious, it is still quite considerate.
"How about I teach you to read?" Tong Huaian put the book away and asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Jiang Youzhen nodded repeatedly.
"I think you are quite clever. Why don't you work with me from now on? I won't have to look for work. If you run errands for me, I will not only teach you how to read, but also give you one or two taels of silver per month. How do you think?"
Tong Huaian took out a five-liang silver ingot from his purse and said, "If you agree, I will advance you five months' salary. If you work efficiently, I can also give you additional rewards."
What? You want me to work for you? You wish!
"Brother Huai'an, I don't sell my body."
Jiang Youzhen cursed Tong Huaian a thousand times in his heart and took back his considerate words.
"I won't let you sell yourself. I know you're the only kid in your family, so I just want you to run errands for me."
It turned out that he was impressed by my abilities. Jiang Youzhen thought to himself that I had been a small leader in my previous life!
You are just an errand boy, I look down on you! It is impossible for you to work as a part-time worker.
Xiao Wu on the shaft of the cart was almost jealous beyond recognition. Isn't the master too kind? This is clearly to help this kid out of trouble!
One ounce of silver a month? Which servant has this much money? If you don't sell yourself, you're crazy!
He only makes 500 Wen a month. Jiang Youzhen is so weak that he can't even tie a chicken. Apart from his eloquence, what other skills does he have?
"Brother Huai'an, I know you have good intentions to help me, but my whole family depends on me! I still want to learn a skill, and I appreciate your kindness."
What's one ounce of silver? Only the useless Xiaowu would be so excited.
She was determined to become the richest person, and she would not even bat an eye if a tael of silver fell on the ground.
I just want you to teach me how to read, how dare you covet my body?
How dare this kid refuse? Xiao Wu was immediately more indignant. The young master had already lowered himself, but this kid still didn't appreciate it?
Tong Huaian was actually not surprised to see her refuse.
Anyone who has some ability is unwilling to lag behind others.
He suddenly took out a pair of shoes from under the small table and placed them in front of Jiang Youzhen.
"I saw it before and bought it if I thought it suited you."
Jiang Youzhen looked closely and saw that they were a pair of black short high-top boots, which were warmer than the cotton boots on her feet.
"This? Why did you buy me something so expensive? How can you be so embarrassed?"
Jiang Youzhen picked up the boots and looked at them carefully. He found that there were auspicious clouds embroidered around the black upper.
The outfit she's wearing doesn't match these boots!
Seeing Jiang Youzhen saying sorry even though he had already done it, his eyes were full of smiles.
Originally this kid didn't want anything, but now he wants everything.
Probably because he saw that I was wearing a pair of tattered cloth shoes when I came here, so he bought them for myself.
Suddenly I felt that Tong Huaian was actually a pretty good person. As long as she didn't mess with the heroine in the future, she should be fine.
"Won't you give it a try?"
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "They will get dirty on the way back. I just wore a new pair today. If I get another pair dirty, my mother will scold me for being a spendthrift."
"Does your hand hurt?" He suddenly asked, pointing at Jiang Youzhen's hand.
Jiang Youzhen then discovered that his hands were covered with rough cracks. Perhaps they had thawed in the carriage, and blood was oozing from the cuts.
"I have some hand grease here, you can apply it."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite wooden box from under the small table. After opening it, Jiang Youzhen could smell the cool fragrance of plum blossoms.
While Jiang Youzhen was in a daze, the other party grabbed her hand and started applying the paint on her.
"Oh! How can I ask you to come? I can do it myself."
It is quite comfortable to be held by the other person's warm and delicate skin, and the fingers are thin and long, which is indeed beautiful, but it also makes my own fingers look like old tree bark.
Jiang Youzhen retracted her hand, and Tong Huaian thought she was just embarrassed, "Apply it every morning and evening!"
I really didn't expect that this guy is such a warm-hearted guy. In his previous life, Jiang Youzhen really had no resistance to warm-hearted guys.
Really! Why does one have to exude charm all the time? No wonder the original owner fell in love with her for a lifetime.
But I have to take good care of my skin. How can it be so rough?
I don’t know whether the system will give rewards in this regard in the future, Jiang Youzhen can only wait and see.
The carriage soon drove into Qinghe Village, and it was already dark.
They were almost home, and Jiang Youzhen's heart was filled with joy.
When she lifted the car curtain, in the dim light she saw a shivering woman standing at the door.
It's Shen! Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.
"Mom!" Jiang Youzhen jumped off the carriage without waiting for it to stop.
"Oh my! Why are you gone for a whole day? And you're back so late?"
Shen was extremely anxious, but when she saw Jiang Youzhen, she finally felt relieved.
Jiang Youzhen stepped forward and held Shen's hand. It was such a cold day and Shen was wearing thin clothes. She must have been standing in the cold wind for a long time, so her hands were terribly cold.
"Oh! Why did you let Master Tong take you back?"
Only then did Shen notice the carriage. When she saw Tong Huaian actually lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, she was suddenly at a loss.
"No need to get down, it's cold! Get back to the carriage."
"Aunt!" Tong Huaian bowed to Shen.
Shen quickly let go of Jiang Youzhen's hand and stepped forward to give him a helping hand.
"Oh! Master Tong is just being polite. We farmers don't have to be so particular."
She rubbed her hands, her expression somewhat timid, which was a natural reaction when facing a wealthy family.
Poverty made her lose her courage and her face was full of sorrow.
"Mom! It's too cold, let's go back first! Quick! I bought a lot of things, let Dad and the others come out to help move them."
Jiang Youzhen squeezed in between the two of them, why were there so many politenesses?
Going back to sew a quilt is the right thing to do! She really doesn't want to be unable to sleep due to the cold tonight.
"Aunt! It's cold, let's talk about it another day, you guys should go back quickly!"
Seeing that the two men were shivering with cold, Tong Huaian bowed and got on the carriage.
"Hey! Why don't you come to my house and sit down?"
Shen then thought that there was nothing at home and only a cup of coarse tea, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Aunt! I'm not being polite. My grandfather is waiting for me to come back. I'll visit him another day."
