Chapter 43
There were enough necessities on the boat to last a while .
Su Qing was still trying to get used to the rocking of the boat . She seemed a bit listless and thus Mu Yunyao could not bare to make her prepare the food . That Liu Liang, on the other hand, should only be used to kill . If he made the food, it might be inedible .
Mu Yunyao decided to do it herself . Actually, she could cook quite well . Although she could only make some simple dishes, no one could beat her in those particular dishes .
The boatmen had brought their own dried food, so Mu Yunyao made food for three . Although she wanted to buy Liu Liang’s heart, she did not forget that she was still his master . Only after did Su Qing and her finished their food, did she call Liu Liang over to eat the remains .
Liu Liang was hesitant at first . But after five to six days, he was already used to it . The moment Mu Yunyao ordered him to eat, he would immediately do it . And, no matter how much food was left in the pot, he would wipe it clean . Mu Yunyao thought that it was amazing .
When the tenth day came, the boat had already reached the Zunjiang river basin . They had to go stock up on some necessities . They stopped at Zunan City’s dock . This city was already in the Jiangnan area, and thus all the building styles were completely different from Yan City’s .
The houses all seemed to be tall and thin, the decorations were detailed and exquisite . The wings were fine and delicate . The eaves looked like spread wings, as if it was going to fly . It was so refreshing .
Mu Yunyao supported Su Qing down the boat . When they stepped onto solid ground, they felt as if they were floating . They were not too used to it .
“Mother, let’s go shopping . ”
“En, alright . ” Being able to stand on stable ground caused Su Qing to feel much better . She saw the busy dock that was filled with people and so, so many different stalls . There were too many things to see .
Mu Yunyao brought her to slowly look around . When they reached a stall that sold oil paper umbrellas, Su Qing stopped to take a look .
“Jiangnan has a lot of rain, if Mother likes it, we can buy two . ”
Su Qing immediately shook her head . She pointed at a pink oil paper umbrella and softly said, “I just thought that that umbrella matched your outfit . ”
The umbrella had beautiful peach blossom decorations . They seemed beautifully vivid .
As she had to mourn for her Father, Mu Yunyao wore white upper and lower clothing . As a way to not seem too plain, her skirt had some falling peach blossom petals decorations . It looked very similar to the one on the umbrella .
Mu Yunyao opened the umbrella and made a delicate little spin . She made a greeting towards Su Qing . “Mother, what do you think?”
Su Qing looked extremely delighted . Before Mu Yunyao could say a word, she quickly took out some silver to buy the umbrella . “Yao Er……”
“Greetings to this young lady, if you happen to have taken a liking to this flower umbrella, I will buy it for you . ” A male who seemed to be the pampered son of a wealthy family leaned towards them, his eyes were filled with the intention to tease . As he said this, his hand was already reaching towards the umbrella that Mu Yunyao was holding .
Su Qing’s face immediately darkened . She blocked Mu Yunyao from him and asked, “It’s daylight right now, what are you trying to do?”
“Ai, Madam, don’t be too anxious, I was just trying to gift an umbrella to your daughter, that’s all . ” The male used his eyes to signal to the servant behind him . The servant pushed Su Qing to the side .
When Mu Yunyao saw Su Qing being pushed to the side, she closed the umbrella . The smile on her lips and already lost all warmth . “You want to give me an umbrella?”
The male’s eyes lighted up . “Yes, indeed . If this lady likes it, I can buy it for you?”
“Our master here is Colour Moon Shop’s young master . Everyone in Jiangnan knows him . ”
“Our young master likes you, you must have done something great in your past life!”
