Chapter 485: It was a great performance
Without waiting for her to ask in detail, the young boy just said "Oh!" and ran away in a hurry.
The back view looks like a wild bird in the mountains.
Bei Jingchu: "..."
The painting style of your Zhaixinglou is so weird...
She thought that the handsome charlatan must have some abilities, so she picked up a copper coin and put it on her wrist.
Luck is important.
Jiazhou is not far from the capital, and we can arrive there soon by riding a horse at full speed.
The person who came to pick them up was a big and strong woman.
The woman was very enthusiastic and explained as soon as she came up: "My father is not feeling well today, so I am here to welcome you. I hope you two don't mind. May I ask your name?"
Before coming here, I knew that the family selling grain was surnamed Nian. Bei Jingchu nodded and said, "Ms. Nian, you are too polite. My surname is Lei, and my given name is Yang."
She pointed at Jiang Longshou and introduced him, "This is my husband."
The woman knew at a glance that this woman was the leader of this team. After nodding to him, she started chatting with Bei Jingchu.
"When other people saw me for the first time, they were all surprised by my figure, but Madam Lei acted as if it was nothing special."
Bei Jingchu said calmly: "What's the big deal?"
"In richer places, there are many big and strong men on the road, and no one is surprised."
"Didn't someone just pass by? Who was looking at you sideways?"
The lady threw away the ladylike demeanor she had just maintained and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
He was so excited that he patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
Looking at her physique, you can tell she is very strong.
If Bei Jingchu hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood and had a solid foundation, he would have been slapped to the ground with one blow.
Thinking of this, she was determined not to expose her martial arts skills, so she staggered due to the force of the slap.
The old lady held him in panic.
"Oh my, sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Yes, sister. I was so excited. It's rare to meet a close friend in a lifetime. I forgot that you are so weak."
Bei Jingchu's mouth twitched.
This was the first time in her life that someone said she was weak!
However, in a short period of time, the two of them had become sisters.
The Nian lady asked, "It seems that it wasn't you who came to negotiate last time?"
"Yes, she's dead."
This short sentence shocked her so much that she stammered and couldn't speak.
"Is that so? But there are bandits on the way back to Beijing?"
Bei Jingchu sighed, and felt a little sad when she thought of that young life.
"It's pitiful. He was just not good at horse riding and lost control and fell to his death."
Madam Nian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It's okay. As long as the deed is still there, our Nian family and the company will recognize it."
"It's getting late today, Madam Lei, why don't you stay in my humble abode for one night? I'll take you to count the goods tomorrow."
Bei Jingchu smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Merchants value profit, so their houses are naturally magnificent. They would like to have the word "rich" slapped on their faces.
One of them, Lanxiyuan, is particularly magnificent, so magnificent that it stands out from the surroundings.
Seeing her staring at the plaque, Madam Nian smiled.
"This Lanxiyuan is named after my mother."
"After my mother passed away, my father moved his house and built a yard as a memorial, which is also your guest room."
Bei Jingchu was a little confused. If they had a good relationship and wanted to commemorate his deceased wife, why would the yard be used as a guest room?
But her expression remained unchanged, she only sighed: "Your father and mother have a very good relationship."
At the same time, he kept an eye on Madam Nian's reaction.
A hint of sneer appeared on the corner of Madam Nian's mouth, but it only lasted for a moment before being suppressed.
If Bei Jingchu had not been prepared and observed closely, she would not have discovered it.
There is a secret in this family.
Then was her people killed because they discovered the secret of the Nian family and were silenced?
Bei Jingchu just hoped that it wasn't because he discovered her affairs, otherwise she would have silenced him.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, the mountain ghost money on my wrist began to heat up.
Could this be the bad luck that the national teacher was talking about?
Bei Jingchu settled down calmly. After the people left, she grabbed Jiang Longshou's wrist to try to find the mountain ghost money in his hand.
It’s hot as expected.
It's different from the temperature warmed by the skin, and it's a little hotter.
Bei Jingchu, who had never encountered such a situation, felt a chill down her spine. Human hearts are unpredictable, but ghosts are scarier, right?
"No, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Help, she wants to go home.
Thinking of what the charlatan said, that those dirty things couldn't hurt her, Bei Jingchu inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again.
Well, I still can't calm down.
It was rare that she was afraid of something, and Jiang Longshou was very surprised.
He said with a smile: "It's alright, Madam. If there is anything, your husband will protect you."
...I think it was fun to perform for you, kid?
At this time, the investigation had made some progress, and the man's death seemed to be related to the Nian family.
Okay, now I really can’t leave.
