Chapter Twenty: Teasing

  At the same time, the man in black, Chen Lang Jun, also turned his head to look at Jin Zi, with a soft and warm glow behind him that added a touch of gentleness to his icy demeanor. His eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, his aura majestic and proud, and for a moment, he seemed like a handsome young nobleman who had walked out of a painting.

  Kinoko blinked his eyes and finally realized his own loss of composure.

  There was a chuckling voice beside her ear: "I suppose your husband is waiting for you, hurry up, Xiao Tianye!"

  With a wild and awkward smile, he bowed to Jinzi and said: "Sir, please, I'll take my leave!"

  Kaneko nodded and stepped aside.

  After Ye Tian walked away, Jinzi frowned and smiled, teasing: "It's only been a short time, but you're already so close to him? Ye Tian, ah... how smooth, how intimate!"

  Teased by his own wife, he laughed and scolded at the same time, stomping his foot and saying: "Wife, you're at it again... Waaahhh..."

  "Alright, alright, no more joking around. We've wasted an entire afternoon and the sun is almost setting. We need to hurry back home or else our mom will worry about us!" Jinzi said.

  "Yes, you're right, it's really a waste of a good day!" Xiaoxiao said with a sigh.

  "Heh heh, I know what you're thinking, little girl. Today wasn't satisfying, but let's wait for next time, it's not like we can't go out again. Besides, the silver your father gave us hasn't been spent yet. And look at the clothes on your body and Buck's mom's, they're all from a long time ago. Lin Shi herself is extravagant, but she's always making things difficult for us in Qingfeng Garden, pinching pennies and whatnot. You've all followed me these years, I'm afraid you've suffered." Jinzi said as he walked down from the pavilion by the lake.

  Xiao Xiao thought of her mother and herself, her nose sour, replied: "With you thinking of me like this, Xiao Xiao and Mother will not be sad!"

  "Silly girl!" Jinzi stretched out his hand and gently tapped Xiaoxiao's head, but in his heart, he had new ideas and plans.

  In the mansion, she was not well-received to begin with. Although her own father doted on her and protected her, the affairs of the government office were complicated, and the household chores were all handled by Lin Shi alone. It's likely that even Father had good intentions but lacked the power to intervene, being too busy to take action. Furthermore, Lin Shi deliberately concealed these matters, so it's possible that for all these years, Cui Mama, Xiao Xiao, and Jin San Niang suffered at her hands, with Yuan also being unaware of this.

  So, if possible, she still has to rely on herself, just like Chairman Mao said, be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing!

  But she can only perform autopsies and has no other skills, so how will she make a living?

  Well, her father's medical skills were indeed passed down to her, but in this era, female doctors are also very rare.

  Alas, distress!

  In short, she had to think of a way to avoid the embarrassing situation of asking others for money and the condescending attitude of the stewardesses in the mansion, which made her really not want to experience it again.

  "Girl, let's hire a horse carriage to go back!" Laughter brought Jinzi's wandering thoughts back.

  "Ah, it's getting darker," said Jinzi, looking up at the sky. "Go find a horse carriage to come over!"

  Smiling and nodding, he quickly ran off.

  Jinzi stood alone on the embankment. Looking around, the fields were vast and open, with distant mountains stretching continuously, and a large area of greenery was lush and verdant. The clear wind brought up a fragrant scent of grass, she took a deep breath, and the refreshing smell filled her lungs, making her feel invigorated and refreshed.

  There are many wild flowers on the roadside, which are in full bloom at this moment. From a distance, they look like a five-colored brocade, stretching to the end of the line of sight. These can't be seen in modern West Lake scenery. Jinzi couldn't help but feel sentimental, this is the real original ecology!

  Purely natural, non-polluting...

  Jinzi lost his voice and smiled, feeling that this sentence was somewhat familiar, it turned out to be an advertisement slogan.

  She squatted down beside it and bent forward to sniff a peony flower that was in full bloom.

  Even dressed in men's clothing, that one eyebrow and one smile are inexplicably charming.

  At some point, on the roadside, there were several women wearing bright cheongsam dresses, golden hairpins and jade combs, standing still looking at Jinzi, whispering to each other with a hint of flirtation.

  As alert as a golden son, in the instant he lifted his head, he unexpectedly received countless flirtatious glances.

  One of the women, wearing a crimson cheongsam that reached her chest, was surrounded by four other women and stood in the center. Her posture was elegant, her face radiant and captivating. Her chin was slender and delicate, like a cone, and her neck was long and beautiful. A patch of pale skin on her chest glowed softly, and her curvaceous figure was full of charm. Her hand, painted with red henna, held a silk fan, which she waved mechanically, her beautiful eyes shining with autumn waves as she gazed intently at the gold.

  Being looked at by a beauty like this, and being looked at with such deep emotions, Jinzi only felt his blood flowing backwards, his pores opening up, and goosebumps all over the floor.

  "This young master is born with a good appearance, and it's really made me fall in love at first sight!"

  The woman's crimson lips opened lightly, her voice was as smooth as silk, Jinzi firmly believed that if he were a man, he would have been charmed by her call and his bones would have turned soft.

  Jin Zi was actually a girl, and being confessed to by another girl in such a straightforward manner made her feel like last night's leftovers were about to come back up...

  Beautiful woman, big sister is a girl, besides big sister has no tendency to be gay, really can't afford to enjoy it...

  Alright, Jinzi didn't reach the point of being extremely self-loving, she turned her head to take a look around and see if there were other gentlemen nearby, so as not to misunderstand and end up embarrassing herself.

  At this moment on the wild road, there were only her and a few bright women, with no other people.

  Is this really a confession to oneself? The customs of this dynasty are too open, aren't they? It's almost as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty!

  Kanako felt as if she was being toyed with at this moment.

  "You don't need to look anymore, what I just said was exactly for you!" The red-clothed woman said with a smile.

  This smile is really charming! Jinzi suddenly thought of the large painting boat on West Lake, these women should be the elegant prostitutes on the painting boat? No wonder their behavior and speech are so bold.

  Jinzi cleared his throat and bowed: "Thank you, young lady, for your kindness! I... am unworthy of such treatment!"

  As soon as this was said, the companions beside the woman in red immediately changed their expressions, and they criticized Jinzi for being unappreciative. This Mengniang is the most famous courtesan in the prefecture, with many wealthy young masters spending thousands of gold coins just to catch a glimpse of her face, and be able to drink wine and discuss poetry with her, and admire the beauty of West Lake at night...

  The saliva of the crowd almost drowned Jinzi, her head suddenly felt very big. This smile, why hasn't it come back yet? Doesn't it know that I'm being surrounded by a siege of saliva at this moment?

  The beauty in red didn't get angry, but instead seemed to be appreciating Jinzi, her lips curling up into a beautiful arc as she smiled and said: "Look at how the sisters have scared you! Hehe, this is truly the demeanor of a gentleman, calm and composed. I'm even more fond of you now..."

  She walked up and approached Jinzi step by step, scaring Jinzi into subconsciously retreating, asking: "You, what are you doing?"

  "Hehe...... Lord Jun is shy? How cute!" The red-clothed beauty stopped in front of Jinzi, her eyes sparkling as she sweetly said: "My name is Mengniang, I live on the big painted barge on West Lake. Next time you come to tour the lake, remember to find me, I have many fun things there!"

  Kaneko shivered and responded vaguely with a "yes".

  The Mengniang threw a flirtatious glance and walked away with a swaying gait, followed by the other women in a long line.

  The air was filled with a sweet and greasy fragrance that made Jinzi sneeze twice.

  Laughing and panting, she returned with a flushed face and two red clouds on her cheeks. The servant's hat jumped up and down as he ran. Jinzi looked back at her, but there was no carriage behind her.

  "Daughter......my daughter......" he called out softly with a smile.

  "What about the carriage?" Jinzi asked.

  "It's really strange, in the past, as soon as I left the village, I could see horse-drawn carriages everywhere, but today, not a single one can be found..." he said with a laugh and a sigh.

  Kaneko sighed, and the sky grew darker. They couldn't delay any longer. It seemed they would have to head back today.

  "Never mind, let's just go back!" said Jinzi.

  Smiling helplessly and nodding, he had just taken Jinzi's hand to head out when the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

  The two of them looked delighted, turned their heads and saw Ye Tian driving his horse carriage passing by in front of them.
