Chapter 582: Chapter 569: So What if You Have a Fiancee?
The news of Zhuang Yutian starting a weaving workshop spread quickly throughout the county town.
Everyone was initially taken aback, but then they mostly scoffed at the idea.
They all knew the type of fabric that could be woven here, it was simply not feasible. If it were, the shops here wouldn’t be selling fabric from Songjiang.
Those close to Zhuang Yutian tried to persuade him, advising him not to make a fool of himself.
Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng were left speechless but didn’t say much because they hadn’t seen any results yet. The only thing they could say was that they had some measure of confidence and asked others to trust them.
When they saw their advice was futile, they stopped talking and let Zhuang Yutian do what he wanted.
Without interruptions, Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng devoted themselves to studying the loom, hoping to weave a variety of patterns. When these fabrics went on sale, they hoped to make a big splash.
Zhuang Qingning was also busy.
Apart from managing the shop and the workshop, she carried out daily tasks to earn labor points.
Brewing peach blossom wine, making almond cookies, grafting plum trees… all sorts of tasks.
Fortunately, she saw that the deficit was visibly decreasing.
While relieved, Zhuang Qingning was also a bit worried.
The main cause of this debt was the series of dangerous situations she had encountered before. The emergency mode had been activated by the system and she was way too deep in red for all the things she had bought. In the future, she’d have to take good care of herself and avoid getting into dangerous situations.
She also had to be very careful about the labor points!
However, as far as dangerous situations were concerned, Chu Jinnian had come to her rescue twice. The sense of a hero arriving on a rainbow cloud fulfilled the fantasies a girl should have, she found it quite endearing.
Speaking of Chu Jinnian, he had been away for a quite a while now, who knew when he would come back…
The Dragon Boat Festival was in two days, perhaps Chu Jinnian would return then?
Zhuang Qingning started to daydream, repeatedly rubbing the snow globe in her hands.
“Achoo!”
Chu Jinnian frowned and took the handkerchief Jing Zhao quickly passed to him, rubbing his nose.
Chu Yunzhao next to him immediately laughed, “You have been sneezing for a while now, about four or five times. Looks like someone is talking about you behind your back.”
“Why can’t it be that someone is thinking about me?” Chu Jinnian glared at him.
“How could it be?” Chu Yunzhao curled his lips, “As for those who might be thinking of you, it would only be His Majesty, the Empress, and the Queen Mother. But, I didn’t sneeze.”
And the hypothesis that someone was thinking about Chu Jinnian and not him…
Never!
He was confident about that.
“Don’t forget, I have one thing that you don’t.” Chu Jinnian took a sip of tea, laughing softly.
“What is it?” Chu Yunzhao was puzzled.
“It seems that the Fourth Prince has a short memory. I’ve mentioned this before, both in front of you and the Queen Mother. I have a fiancée.” Chu Jinnian’s lips curled up, “At this moment, it is probably my fiancée who misses me, hence the unstoppable sneezing.”
“I did hear about that thing… But when you mentioned it, you said you had never seen this person and wanted to go take a look…”
Chu Yunzhao leaned towards Chu Jinnian and smiled, “Hey, did you go and see? How is she? What’s her family status, character, and appearance like?”
“You will find out when you see her.” Chu Jinnian put the teacup down, “The tea has gone cold.”
Seeing clear indications that Chu Jinnian was changing the topic, Chu Yunzhao couldn’t help but curl his lips, “You’ve become increasingly petty, not willing to even talk about it…”
“It’s not about being petty, I just don’t want to say too much and make you feel bitter. So, it’s better not to say anything.” Chu Jinnian stood up, looked outside, and suggested, “Although it’s a new moon and you can’t see the beautiful moonlight, the starlight is brilliant. How about we go outside, enjoy the night view, and have a drink together?”
Having said that, Chu Jinnian walked out.
Chu Yunzhao behind him was almost rolling his eyes.
What’s the big deal about having a fiancée!
Although his relationship with Miss Luo didn’t seem to be going well for now, there was still hope. As long as they exterminated all the bandits in Lu territory, he could then live together with Miss Luo forever.
These bandits looked fierce and menacing, but their big success was actually more about bluff. After he and Chu Jinnian arrived here, they had already captured most of these bandits, leaving only Zhu Shisan and a few people around him hiding and fighting for their lives.
In the past few days, they had even found out that Zhu Shisan and his men were hiding nearby on Yongxiu Mountain. They had people surround the mountain and all they needed to do was to wait for the right time to capture Zhu Shisan.
When that happens…
“BOOM!”
Chu Yunzhao was deep in thought when a chilling light flashed before his eyes. Chu Jinnian had already drawn his long sword and was standing at the door, staring at the darkness outside with an icy expression. At his feet was an arrow that had been cut in half.
Clearly, someone was trying to take their lives!
Chu Yunzhao immediately held his long sword and stood beside Chu Jinzhou.
Then, loud sounds of fighting came from outside.
“I’ll go take a look.” Jing Zhao jumped out from the window and led a few guards going outside. A moment later, he returned alone with a worried expression on his face, “Master, Fourth Prince, it’s Zhu Shisan and his men outside.”
“How can it be?” Chu Yunzhao was taken aback, “Wasn’t Zhu Shisan trapped on the mountain by General Yu?”
“It seems that only foot soldiers were trapped on the mountains. Zhu Shisan only waited for General Yu to lead the men and leave before he came to our doorstep. They probably wanted to take our lives…”
Before Chu Jinnian could finish his sentence, another “BOOM” was heard. He blocked an incoming arrow with the sword in his hand, upon which it changed its direction and struck a nearby pillar. The sharp arrow sank halfway into the pillar.
“What a sound plan!” Chu Yunzhao clenched his teeth.
“Perhaps without this plan, he couldn’t have been arrogant in Lu territory for such a long time.” Chu Jinnian’s eyes flashed as he suddenly stretched out his arm, catching the third flying arrow. Then, with lightning speed, he threw it back.
After a “BOOM”, a dark figure seemed to fall from a tree outside the courtyard.
Chu Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief, but the sounds of fighting outside became louder, and the fire grew brighter.</p
