Don’t you remember, girl? We met last night at the dumpling stall." The young man said with a smile.

"Ah, I seem to have some impression. The young master is from the escort team, right? I remember I was curious and took a few glances!" Chen Yuru said a little shyly.

The girl in front of him was shy but lively and cute. Liu Yao felt that he was very excited. And when he looked at it today, he saw that the girl was fairer than last night. Now there was a little more blush on her face, making her look even more attractive.

"Yes, girl, you have remembered. My name is Liu Yao. I wonder what the girl's name is?" Liu Yao asked with a smile as he cupped his hands.

At this time, there are not so many men and women guarding against each other. As long as they are not having a secret tryst, they will basically not be criticized. It is normal for a man to ask a woman's name.

"The little girl's surname is Chen and her name is Yuru." Chen Yuru glanced at Liu Yao shyly, and then lowered her head pretending to be shy.

"Miss Chen, do you also live in the town? I look at you strangely." Liu Yao continued to ask.

He had a good impression of Chen Yuru, so he wanted to chat for a while. Fortunately, he was not on duty today, so he had time.

"No, my mother and I have just arrived in town. To be honest with you, I just moved to a new house today. I also went to stay at an inn yesterday. I happened to be hungry and wanted to eat something, so I happened to meet you."

"So that's it, then we are destined. I also went to eat after my shift. What a coincidence. I met Miss Chen again today. If she doesn't mind, just call me by my name. It's strange to call me Young Master.

."

"Brother Liu." Chen Yuru called shyly.

Liu Yao's heart softened when he was called "Brother Liu". Looking at Chen Yuru, he felt more and more that this girl was different from others.

If it were a girl from another family, she would be very shy and would not talk to other men at all. She is quite reserved, but a little boring.

It's not that Miss Chen is unreserved, she just adds a bit of freedom and ease to the shyness of women, making her seem more approachable to them.

"Is there something going on today, girl? Why don't I invite you to the teahouse for tea? You're new here, so you definitely don't know. The teahouse in our town is also very famous, and the dried fruits in it are especially delicious."

It was not lunch time at this time, but he couldn't just drag the girl to talk on the street. They had been talking for a long time, and people were watching.

This time is the right time to go to the teahouse. You can eat some snacks, drink some tea, listen to the storyteller, and they can continue chatting. What a great thing!

"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I really have something to do today. My mother is not in good health and will move into the house today, but I haven't bought anything yet. I came out this morning just to buy some necessary things."

Something." Chen Yuru showed a weak but strong smile at the right time.

"I was negligent. I didn't think of this. Let me help you. You are a weak woman. How can you buy so many things by yourself? You can't get them back!"

Liu Yao really didn't think of this, because in his understanding, moving and buying things were only done by men, or they were done together. How could there be a girl doing the work alone.

And subconsciously, Liu Yao felt that this girl's family must be very wealthy, and someone else must be doing the work. She only needs to buy some small items that she likes.

Only now did he see that what Miss Chen was holding was indeed oil, including food, rice, oil and salt, all of which were needed at home.

"I, then I won't refuse. I was worried at first whether I would have to make several trips to buy them again, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to carry them. It would be great if Brother Liu could help me.

,Thank you..." Chen Yuru looked at Liu Yao with tears in her eyes.

Liu Yao felt a little distressed, and the beauty shed tears. Although Miss Chen was not very beautiful, in his heart, he still liked such a girl.

Seeing the person he likes looking at him eagerly, with dependence and gratitude in his eyes, Liu Yao felt that he was full of responsibility. He must help Miss Chen. At the very least, he should make sure that she buys all the things and arranges them at home.

Once that's done, he can feel relieved.

"Let me carry this oil pot! It's quite heavy. This is probably the first time Ms. Chen has seen such oil! This is the only one in our town. The price is reasonable and the taste is good. The most important thing is

Yes, it seems to be better for the body than lard." Liu Yao said proudly.

This is not to show off, but this rapeseed oil is indeed only available in their town, but it seems that shopkeeper Wang has begun to prepare for expansion, and it should appear in other places soon.

"Well, I saw it when I was eating dumplings, and then I asked my aunt about it. I went to buy some today and try them." Chen Yuru said with a smile.

Liu Yao smiled and introduced some unique things in their town. As a member of the escort team, he originally had deep feelings for the town, so his tone was filled with pride and emotion.

"What are you going to buy next, girl? By the way, have you bought those quilts? If there are a lot of things, I will ask our captain to pick up a donkey cart. It will be easier to pull some things."

The escort team sometimes has to go on errands to far away places, so there are several donkey carts in the Yamen, which are exclusively used by the escort team. Everyone is from the town, and sometimes if they need it at home, the Yamen doesn't need donkey carts.

It's okay for them to borrow it, just ask the captain.

"I just went to buy a quilt. The guy was very nice and said he would deliver it to my home. Now I should buy some rice, noodles, oil, salt and seasonings, as well as some bowls and chopsticks, I guess.

If I had time, I would also buy some stools."

There is a table in the room, but there are no stools or chairs. Now the mother and daughter have no place to sit.

"That one I guess can't be taken, but the rest is okay. The stool may not be easy to hold. If the girl is not in a hurry, just go to the Yamen with me, and I will borrow a donkey cart to bring out, and then we can put away the shopping.

Already."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Brother Liu? It wouldn't be good if the donkey cart from the Yamen came to pull things for me. If it had any impact on Brother Liu's errand, it would be Yu Ru's fault."

Chen Yuru really wants to go! She has wanted to go for a long time. The Yamen is the most powerful place in this town, and the people inside are very useful. It would be great if she could go in!

But she had to pretend to be considerate of the other party if she wanted to go. After all, Liu Yao was the most important person in her hands now.

"It's okay. If we had urgent needs at home, we would borrow them. Our mayor said that as long as there is no need in the yamen, it will be idle. We can use it, but we have to be responsible and not damage public property.

I'm not on duty today, so I just need to inform our captain."

Liu Yao explained that he didn't want Chen Yuru to feel guilty, so he said it very easily. However, this donkey cart can indeed be borrowed, but it requires a signature and a pledge. What will it look like when you borrow it? You will have to pay it back when you come back.

It must be as it is, otherwise you will have to pay compensation.

He had borrowed it once before, and there was basically no problem. It was just something he was pulling, and it might have been damaged.

"Thank you so much, Brother Liu. I'll go with you! Let's go shopping later. If we have a donkey cart, it will save a lot of effort!"

Liu Yao agreed, and then the two of them walked toward the Yamen chatting and laughing. Along the way, Liu Yao felt that this girl was really knowledgeable. He talked about many topics, and she could pick up the conversation.

Such a woman, who can read, practice calligraphy, and speak extraordinary words, is definitely not something that can be cultivated by an ordinary family.

"I see that Miss Chen's conversational skills are extraordinary. The elders in the family must love her so much that they can cultivate her with such care, right?" Liu Yao asked.

"I just read some books, and I don't deserve the praise from Brother Liu. My elders in my family are kind to me. My grandpa used to love me very much, but then my grandpa passed away, and my father..." Chen Yuru looked a little sad, biting her lip and looking pitiful.

appearance.

"If Miss Chen has something to hide, don't say it to avoid being sad. We can talk about other topics." Liu Yao said quickly.

"There is nothing unspeakable. It's just some family matters. There's nothing I can't say to Brother Liu. Besides, although I'm a woman, I can't be a coward all the time. I always have to accept the reality." Chen Yuru said with a strong smile.

Liu Yao admired Chen Yuru even more in his heart. He felt that although she was soft and weak, she had a strong and unyielding heart. For their men, such a woman was even more admirable.

"My family used to have a small amount of money, but I lived a prosperous life. My grandfather was also kind to me and taught me carefully. It's just that my father didn't like my mother. He married a concubine and loved me very much. My mother was weak, and I

As a child, I naturally have to protect her, so I developed a strong character. Later, my father became a gambler and drove the family away. Later, my mother and I left and came here..."

Chen Yuru briefly described it, but she didn't lie, she just added some modifications.

"Miss Chen, don't be sad, it's all over." Liu Yao didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said dryly.

"It's okay. People always have to look forward. I have nothing to be sad about. When I settle down, I will find a job by myself. It will always be able to support me and my mother." Chen Yuru said with a strong smile.

.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, Liu Yao started to chat.

"Yes, Miss Chen, don't be afraid. Our town treats women very well. If you want to find a job, it won't be difficult." Liu Yao quickly comforted her.

He knew that unmarried girls generally would not show up in public, but the mayor of his town said during a meeting that girls should not be discriminated against. Women can do other things except for bad behavior. There is no rule.

Women are inferior to men.

"That's good. We didn't have it there before. I thought I would be criticized by others." Chen Yuru said with a forced smile.

Liu Yao wanted to help people to the end. He thought about it and found that there were really not many things suitable for girls to do.

Although the mayor said that women can find jobs, most of them are only married women, and most of them set up a small stall to earn some money for the family.

"Girl, you can think about whether you can sell something. I saw that many families on the street would set up small stalls. Mother and daughter would sell some small items together. As long as they do well, they can support themselves."

It all depends on whether you have any expertise. Only things with a certain degree of novelty will be easy to sell.

As for other shops, it is estimated that only the rouge and gouache shop needs women, but it is not easy to find them.

He vaguely remembered another thing. The eldest daughter of his family seemed to be planning to open a clothes shop and a rouge and gouache shop. They had even gone to help, so they probably needed to find someone.

It was hard for him to talk about such uncertain things, but when he saw that Miss Chen seemed to be frowning because of this matter, he couldn't help it.

"Our mayor has a niece who is particularly favored. We all call her the eldest lady. The eldest lady is also very powerful. She likes rouge and gouache. It seems that she is planning to open a rouge and gouache store recently.

There is also a clothing shop, which seems to be quite novel, and they are all for women. If she wants to recruit people, she will definitely find women, and Miss Chen can give it a try then," Liu Yao said.

"Is she the mayor's niece? Isn't she her daughter?" Chen Yuru asked.

She had just arrived, so she didn't have time to inquire about these things. She just heard that this woman was so favored. Could it be that she was not her biological daughter? If she was just a niece, then the relationship must be further away.

"She is a niece, but she is no worse than her biological daughter. Our mayor only has one son, and this eldest lady's mother passed away very early. Later, her father went out to do business and was often away from home.

The eldest lady is taken care of by our mayor and his wife, so she is just like her own biological child."

He is quite sensible, and he knew this as soon as he inquired about it, so there is nothing he can't say.

As a member of the escort team, although he is not responsible for this matter, he has a good brother who has protected the eldest lady for a period of time, so he knows more about this matter.

But he didn't know much about other things, and he couldn't talk about anything else, except that their mayor was really nice to this young lady, even better than he was to his own young master.

Chen Yuru nodded. It turns out that's the case. If he has taken care of her since childhood, then the relationship will naturally be close, especially since the mayor doesn't have a daughter. He must treat her as a treasure.

She felt a little jealous again. This young lady she had never met before must be very happy. The mayor doted on her, and even the people in the yamen respected her. In addition, Liu Yao also said just now that this

The eldest lady, her father is doing business outside, so her family must be very rich. The rich and powerful are all at the top, so how happy she must be!
