“Advisor, what do you think of those two young men?”
Following County Magistrate Zhou's gaze, Master Wen saw two teenagers. The one in white exuded a commanding presence that was unlike any other young person he had encountered!
The other one wore a mischievous smile, displaying a carefree attitude that reflected a broad-minded character!
With a smile and a slight nod, Master Wen expressed his admiration.
Half an hour passed, and as the number of patrons in the tavern dwindled, Yang Yichen set down his cup, adjusted his clothing, and slowly stood up.
Hua Scholar did not expect Yang Yichen to leave so abruptly; he slammed down his cup and quickly followed suit!
In the end, even the most patient among them gradually departed, leaving with disappointment and loneliness. None of them had met the person they were waiting for!
In the corner, County Magistrate Zhou and Master Wen exchanged knowing smiles, having worked together for many years and understanding each other perfectly through their eyes.
After leaving, Hua Scholar complained as he walked, “Why didn’t that person show up? Wasn’t he supposed to come this morning? What went wrong?”
The frustration left Yang Yichen speechless until he could no longer hold back: “County Magistrate is here!”
“Wha… what?” Hua Scholar jumped three feet in the air. “Where… where?” He looked around frantically. “I don’t see anyone!”
“Where are you looking? I’m County Magistrate Zhou, I’ve been right here in the tavern!”
“Ah? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Hua Scholar, trembling hands pointing at his friend in anger.
“If I told you, it wouldn’t feel real! Don’t worry, it’s all good!” Yang Yichen’s keen observation made him aware of County Magistrate Zhou's intentions.
Perhaps Hua Scholar hadn’t noticed, but the distinctly different demeanor of the two middle-aged men in the corner was not lost on him.
“But you should have told me! That way I could prepare properly. Now I have no idea what County Magistrate and Advisor are thinking! You’ve really put me in a terrible position!”
Yang Yichen remained silent. For others, this was an opportunity, but for him, it was not important.
After being nagged by Hua Scholar all the way, they finally arrived at the inn. Yang Yichen returned to his room and slammed the door shut, isolating the chatterbox outside!
Rejected without mercy, Hua Scholar left with a dejected expression, picking at his fingers as he returned to his room to quietly draw.
Separated from Hua Scholar, Yang Yichen walked to the table and picked up a book to read quietly. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a faint shadow on the smooth desk.
The earnest young man resembled a beautiful painting; if someone were to see this moment, they would surely marvel at such a scene, each detail telling of the tranquility of time.
At the same time, Liu Qingxi from Ten Li Pu was also busy; her hectic days had truly begun.
If fixing Zhang Sanyou's house was a stroke of luck for her, and repairing Zhang Dafuku's house was good fortune, then how could one explain her success with Zhang Deli's house?
One person cannot always be so lucky.
If one or two problems remain unresolved, what about three or four? Or even more?
At this moment, faced with numerous facts, everyone had to acknowledge Liu Qingxi's abilities. More and more people began to believe in her and sought her help.
Liu Qingxi's skills became a topic of discussion among the people of Ten Li Pu!
"Believe it or not, Qingxi this girl really has some talent. That dilapidated house of the Deli family has been fixed up by her; that's no small feat! I believe in her now!"
"We never doubted her! No way! My house still has some issues; I need to ask this girl for help. If she can fix it up like new, my family will be just fine!"
"Look at you! If she can't fix it, won't you have to rebuild? And you'll still need to marry that daughter-in-law?"
"That's different! You don't know how to build a new house! Don't you know the expenses involved? Enough of this; I need to get back to work. I’ll head over to Qingxi’s place soon!"
The woman hurriedly left, preparing to discuss matters with her family. Who would have thought? Liu Qingxi's home was now bustling with activity, so crowded that one could hardly squeeze in!
As the protagonist of the event, Liu Qingxi felt overwhelmed. Being famous wasn't necessarily a good thing; with so many people clamoring around, she didn't even know what to do.
It felt awkward for her to navigate the dynamics of who was first and who was last among the villagers, making it quite difficult!
Faced with such enthusiastic neighbors, Liu Qingxi couldn't help but long for the quiet life she had before, immersed in her drawings.
The psychological scars left by her past made her uncomfortable in social situations. In contrast, she preferred to work quietly alone, doing what she loved.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in a coarse cloth long shirt rushed in. Seemingly understanding Liu Qingxi's predicament, she raised her voice: "Hey, Kid, don't be anxious! Look at how you've scared this Girl! We're all from the same Village; why would you be afraid that Qingxi won't help?"
The woman's words seemed reasonable, and upon reflection, they made sense. The crowd gradually quieted down!
The arrival of the woman brought a wave of relief to Liu Qingxi; she simply couldn't handle the villagers' enthusiasm.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was discussing among themselves, Liu Qingxi quietly pulled the woman aside: "Aunt Song, you finally came! I didn't know what to do!"
It turned out that the woman was none other than Zhang Sanyou's daughter-in-law, Song, who was relatively close to Liu Qingxi!
To be honest, despite having endured many hardships in her past life, Liu Qingxi wasn't as strong as one might imagine. She was like a snail, tightly hiding within her shell.
It seemed that only by doing so could she avoid being hurt by others. However, this also isolated her from the world; she would only bury herself in hard work and avoid socializing.
In truth, this wasn't good. Deep down, she yearned for warmth but was afraid to take the first step.
At that moment, Liu Qingxi recognized this flaw in herself!
Unexpectedly, Aunt Song didn't seem to mind: "You look pretty bold usually; why are you shy now? Don't be afraid! We're all our own people; just be yourself!"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Qingxi smiled self-deprecatingly, realizing that she too had moments like this. After a moment's thought, she concluded that it wasn't such a big deal; most villagers had good intentions, and her past experiences had simply frightened her.
Calming her emotions, she slowly walked out and said, "Dear Uncle and Aunt, your trust makes me very happy. Don't worry, Qingxi will not let you down!"
In that brief moment, she understood.
This was not the era of her past life; there were no childhood insults, no ever-present discriminatory gazes. Instead, it was a brand new world, filled with honest and simple faces that gradually helped her step out of her past and memories.
Filled with energy, she strode forward.
Ah, the world is so beautiful! What kind of scenery have I missed? Why am I still so timid in this new era? Suddenly, she felt a sense of worldly wisdom, yet at this moment, she felt incredibly relaxed—a true contradiction!
At this moment, Liu Qingxi seemed like a different person, brimming with fighting spirit and an open personality.
The shadows of her past life seemed to fade away with the passage of time and the crossing of dimensions.
With a smile on her face, she addressed everyone: "I'll go get some paper and pen to note down the order, and then we can take turns!"
Since she was so determined, everyone naturally agreed. Things progressed smoothly, just like in the county town with Yang Yichen.
At the same time, another person was also filled with enthusiasm.
