Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 761 - 759: Preparing New Year Goods (Part 2)

"She never learned," Dong Yao sighed lightly and said, "She won’t learn even if she follows along."

Shen Qingping said, "Grandfather said, Third Sister is set for great things, these small matters, it’s fine if she doesn’t know them."

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Grandfather is right."

Dong Yao looked at her helplessly and then said to Fu Dong and A Man, "Fu Dong, A Man, go and buy a few sets of couplets."

"I’ll go with them."

Fu Dong saw she was already walking ahead and quickly pulled A Man along to catch up.

Since they hadn’t reached the market entrance yet, there weren’t too many people around.

The vendor was a young scholar, about twenty years old.

Seeing the three of them approaching, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Are you ladies looking for custom-written ones or pre-made ones?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at the couplets displayed outside and said plainly, "Let’s take the pre-made ones."

"How many do you need?" the scholar asked again.

Shen Qinglan said, "Eight sets."

"Eight sets?" the scholar nodded quickly, "Do you need ones for the kitchen? There are also some for the rice storeroom."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Take one of each as well."

After agreeing, the scholar then rolled up each of the completed couplets, "Miss, a total of eight sets, eighty wen."

A Man quickly reached out to take them, while Shen Qinglan removed her purse to pay.

"Hey, Fangzheng brother, why did you come here?" A pleasant voice came over.

The scholar slightly paused the hand holding the money and turned to see a handsome young man smiling and walking over.

Shen Qinglan slightly raised her eyebrows, feeling that this person looked familiar, yet couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

The scholar looked at the newcomer and happily called out, "Zijing brother, why are you here?"

"My parents came to do some New Year’s shopping, and I came along with them," the young man said with a smile, "Are you selling couplets here?"

"Hmm!" the scholar nodded, "Earning a little money to buy something for the younger siblings."

"Let me have a few sets too," the young man said, "It’s perfect timing, we need to buy some as well."

Upon hearing this, the scholar smiled and nodded, "When did you return?"

"It’s been several days," the young man said, "I wanted to come find you to hang out, but right after I got home, my mom and grandma said it’s too cold and wouldn’t let me go out."

"Oh, right!" the young man took a copybook from his sleeve and handed it to the scholar, "This is my cousin’s copybook, which I had made into a book, and I was going to bring it to you."

"Is this really the Young Master’s copybook?" the scholar took it with joy and asked.

Originally having walked quite a distance away, Shen Qinglan turned back upon hearing this, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Just heard the young man nod and smile, "This was brought to me by my cousin Tuo Tianjie, who earlier took it from cousin Yunfei to give to Lord Shen, so I had him get me an extra copy as well."

"Miss, what’s wrong?" Fu Dong and A Man, seeing her stop, couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

"It’s nothing," Shen Qinglan glanced in the direction of the young man and chuckled softly, "No wonder he looked familiar."

That young man and Liu landlord, they almost looked carved from the same mold.

"Familiar?" Fu Dong asked suspiciously, "Miss, are you referring to that gentleman just now?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes, he’s your future brother-in-law’s cousin."

"Ah?" Fu Dong was surprised, "Shouldn’t we go and say hello?"

"No need," Shen Qinglan laughed, "We should be seeing them again soon."

Just as they turned to leave, Liu Zijing glanced over suspiciously.

"What’s wrong, Zijing brother?" the scholar asked, puzzled.

Liu Zijing shook his head, "I just felt someone was looking at me, probably just my imagination."
