Just at that moment, the carriage pressed over a rock and it shook. Through the shaking curtain, Yu Qingjia just happened to see a middle-aged man of about forty bumping into their carriage. The carriage driver was driving the carriage for the Yu family and was already annoyed by the number of people which made it difficult for him to travel, and when he saw that someone had bumped into him, he was furious and raised his whip to hit the other party.
Yu Qingjia’s face immediately changed, she reprimanded the driver, and screamed,
“Stop!”
But it was still a step too late, the driver’s whip had already been thrown at the thin man with the goatee, the man seemed to be stunned, his feet slipped, just avoiding the whip, but even so, he was swept by the end of the whip. The driver was still cursing and swearing, Yu Qingjia was furious and couldn’t bear to sink her voice, saying coldly,
“Who gave you the guts to hurt people in the street? Today we are here to accompany Yu Laojun to pay our respects to the Buddha, so if you do such a thing in front of Buddha, are you not afraid that it will reach Laojun’s ears and anger her?”
The carriage driver was just a bully, so when he heard Miss Yu’s scolding in the carriage, he immediately panicked. He quickly lowered his head and said submissively,
“It’s my fault, Sixth Miss, calm down, Please don’t tell Yu Laojun.”
Yu Qingjia was furious, but in front of so many pedestrians on the street, she couldn’t teach the family servant a lesson, so she held back for the time being and planned to wait until she returned to the house to discipline him. She looked at the little maid beside her, and was about to ask the maid to bring out silver money to treat the other party’s injuries, when she heard Yu Qingya shouting in a sharp voice, “Sixth sister.”
Yu Qingjia was startled, and raised her head in astonishment, “What’s wrong?”
The look on Yu Qingya’s face was extremely complicated, seemingly remorseful and irritated, and finally turned into a strong hostility that flashed through her eyes and was quickly concealed by her. Yu Qingya was so angry that she cursed at the system in her mind, ‘I looked all the way down the street, but why was Yu Qingjia still the one who managed to take the lead in the end? Is this the female lead’s halo that no matter what she does, she can somehow end up attracting men?’
The electronic voice did not agree with her this time, but coldly reminded,「Host, get down to business first. The side mission is released: ‘Save someone on the street (1), countdown to 60 seconds, once you fail 500 points will be deducted.」
“Wait a Minute!”
Yu Qingya hurriedly shouted, she saw the gazes of several people staring at her, then she realized that she had shouted out in her haste. She did not care about the other people’s strange gazes, and hurriedly took out a few gold coins from her purse. Then she haphazardly shoved them to a maid, and reprimanded,
“Our Yu family is upright and has strict family rules, how can we allow the evil servants to bully people with their power? When you return to the mansion, throw this carriage driver out immediately, lest he insult the family’s reputation. Hongluan, go and give this money to the victim who was hit, and if he is injured, take him to a doctor, and I will pay for the medical expenses.”
The servant around Yu Qingjia was already about to get out of the carriage, but Yu Qingya forcibly stopped her and gave Hongluan a wink. Although Hongluan didn’t understand why the Fourth Miss suddenly cared about the life of a commoner, but when the Fourth Miss spoke, she didn’t dare to question it, and immediately got out of the carriage without stopping.
Yu Qingya opened the carriage window slightly and looked out while trying her best to repress her excitement. Only to see Hongluan standing impatiently in front of the skinny man, and throwing the money into his arms, she then wiped her hands in disgust. The skinny man didn’t know what he did to Hongluan. She even scolded him first, then got tangled up, and led the skinny man towards the carriage.
“Miss, this commoner wants to thank you in person.”
The door of the carriage was pushed half open, and Zhang Xian’s half-droopy eyelids were lifted upwards, and he could only see the figures inside, the faces of the other figures were covered by the curtain hats, and they looked like a mountain fog in the middle.
Sitting on a mat is considered indecent, so women from noble families would still sit on their knees even inside the carriage, they also had to wear wide curtain hats that reached their feet so that even the corners of their skirts are not exposed. Zhang Xian looked away after just one glance, he cupped his hands, and said gratefully,
“This humble one, thank the young lady for your help, this humble one has no other skills, except that he is a little skilled when it comes to calculating accounts. If the young lady doesn’t dislike it, this humble one is willing to…”
Before Zhang Xian could even finish speaking, Yu Qingya interrupted him impatiently,
“You are a person who knows how to repay your favors. Since you have such a big heart, I might as well take you in.”
Zhang Xian froze in an instant, and couldn’t help but raise his eyes. Afraid that the other party might misunderstand, Yu Qingya hurriedly added,
“I was the one who saved you just now, and I am the Fourth young lady of the Yu family.”
Yu Qingya squinted her eyes at Yu Qingjia, and said with a delicate hook in her voice, “Sixth younger sister, don’t you think so??”
Yu Qingya bit the word “Sixth Younger sister” very hard, for fear that she might not be able to remind Yu Qingjia of the order between her rank as an older person between the two. Yu Qingjia found the whole thing ridiculous, she had no intention of arguing with Yu Qingya for such a small matter, she was about to speak, when she suddenly realized something in her heart.
Yu Qingya has been fidgeting and acting improperly ever since she got into the carriage today, she’s been looking around as if searching for something or someone… Could it be that she was waiting for this person in front of her to appear?
Only then did Yu Qingjia look at the other party carefully. The man looked at least forty or so, he was dry and thin, with a goatee. He had a pair of eyes although it was only half open, but the occasional leakage of the light shows this person’s shrewd calculations. At this time, she thought about what he said earlier, he said he was good at calculating accounts. People who are good at calculating accounts are quite rare in this era.
Yu Qingjia rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, “This is not a big deal at all, since the fourth sister is short of people, then it’s okay for this younger sister to let the fourth sister have her way. But this gentleman is a free man, not a domestic slave, I’m afraid I can’t say anything about this matter, it depends on the gentleman’s intention.”
Yu Qingya was so angry that her teeth were itchy, and she said angrily with wide eyes, “I was the one who saved the man!”
Yu Qingjia smiled and said nothing, as if she was too lazy to argue, “Indeed, it was as the fourth sister said.”
The carriage driver looked at the scene in front of him and was a little confused. He was just a commoner. In what virtue and ability, is he worth the two ladies’ to have a verbal dispute for? Yu Qingjia handed over the right to choose to Zhang Xian, and everyone’s eyes gathered towards him for a while. Zhang Xian frowned secretly, and glanced into the carriage calmly.
When the curtains were lifted, except for the maidservant, all the young ladies had put on their curtain hats, but Murong Yan’s hat had been loosened a little after entering the carriage. His eyes swept over Yu Qingya calmly, and he silently raised his index finger with his casually resting hand on his knee, then made a stopping gesture first, and flicked it over lightly to the other side.
Zhang Xian immediately understood, he bowed his head respectfully and said, “This humble one thanks the two young ladies for their high praise, if the fourth young lady does not mind, this humble one would be willing to serve her with all his heart.”
Yu Qingya immediately showed a triumphant smile, then provocatively glanced at Yu Qingjia. Yu Qingjia only smiled lightly, and did not say anything, “We have been delayed for too long, I am afraid that the carriage Laojun is on is already headed into the Immeasurable Temple. Close the door and hurry up first.”
