Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 442: It counts or not!
"Master, actually you don't have to ask me to come over."

Unlike Liu Banxian, Sun Ping was very grateful to Su Jing for letting him come over and ride in the same car.

Su Jing said calmly: "This carriage is very spacious. It won't be crowded if there is one more person. This journey will still take several hours. It would be better to be more comfortable."

I haven’t gone to Su Jing in the capital many times, but I’ve still been there.

It would probably take close to seven or eight hours to arrive with such an escort.

This is because Muying brought a full bodyguard with him, so almost no one would stop frequently due to internal emergencies along the way.

"Master Su is right. If you are crowded into the same compartment with other people on this journey, it will be really tiring. It is more comfortable here."

Liu Banxian echoed, he was already lying directly in the carriage with a contented expression on his face.

Sun Ping saw Liu Banxian like this, taking up a lot of the position that originally belonged to Su Jing, and immediately said displeased: "You old man, you are obviously taking advantage of your employer's car, but you still don't understand etiquette like this, it's disgusting!"

"Come on, Shopkeeper Sun, you are right, I shouldn't be so casual."

Liu Banxian had no intention of refuting Sun Ping. He immediately sat up and gave up his position. This attitude made Su Jing a little surprised.

"It's almost there."

Sun Ping muttered, and then said to Su Jing: "My boss, Sun Ping couldn't help my boss in this matter. I'm really ashamed."

"Ok?"

Su Jing said doubtfully: "Sun Ping, why are you ashamed? This matter itself has nothing to do with you, it doesn't have to be like this."

Li Mingyou was the only one who really knew about Su Jing's plan.

This was also because Li Mingyou was part of the plan and had to tell him.

Otherwise, no one would know what happened.

"not like this."

Sun Ping immediately shook his head, and then told Su Jing in detail what happened after the guards of the Imperial Guard's Mansion found him.

Liu Banxian sat aside. Although he didn't speak, he listened carefully.

"If it weren't for me, the murderer should have been caught at that time."

Sun Ping felt very guilty and said that at this moment, he did not know that Lao Zhou had been arrested.

"I see, this old Zhou is quite vigilant."

Liu Banxian sighed slightly.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Sun Ping, the murderer has been caught a long time ago. You did nothing wrong, but it's because of me that you have to make this trip."

"My boss is serious. Your business is Sun Ping's business. As long as my boss is safe and sound, it doesn't matter what happens to me."

Sun Ping lowered his head towards Su Jing and said with great respect.

Su Jing was a little helpless. Sun Ping was always like this, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, Sun Ping, I have said many times that you and I are equal except for the boss and the shopkeeper. Don't always make me look like the person you want to be loyal to. I don't like it."

Su Jing patiently said to Sun Ping.

Sun Ping didn't change much and still insisted: "The boss is the boss, and there is a difference between Sun Ping and the boss."

"Ah~"

Su Jing sighed and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Liu Banxian on the side listened to Su Jing's words, his expression changed constantly, his brows were furrowed, he seemed to be thinking, and he seemed a little shocked.

As the topic ended, silence fell into the carriage.

Su Jing occasionally opened the curtains of the carriage to see what was going on outside, and occasionally closed her eyes to relax, which was really boring.

Sun Ping, on the other hand, was always paying attention to Su Jing's movements. Whenever Su Jing was a little different, he would immediately step forward to help.

Su Jing had no choice but to lean on the side of the carriage and start to rest directly.

Although it was a carriage, it was traveling on an official road. It was slightly bumpy, but it was not serious. Su Jing did not feel any discomfort.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Sun."

Liu Banxian took the opportunity to shout to Sun Ping in a low voice.

Sun Ping glanced at Liu Banxian and said, "What do you want? Don't disturb my boss' rest."

Liu Banxian smiled and said: "I didn't disturb your boss, it was you who kept disturbing your boss."

Sun Ping was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, how could I disturb the boss? I think it's because you are shameless here, that's why the boss doesn't want to talk."

Liu Banxian smiled slightly and said, "Well, when we park for a rest later, you can find an excuse to go to other carriages, and you will naturally find out."

"Why didn't you go to the other carriage?"

Sun Ping asked directly.

This made Liu Banxian stunned, but he reacted quickly and said immediately: "Shopkeeper Sun, I, Liu Banxian, can make accurate calculations. If you don't believe it, then so be it."

Liu Banxian saw Sun Ping's loyalty to Su Jing, so as long as he persisted, Sun Ping would definitely compromise.

"Okay, but if that's not the case, get out of this car."

Sun Ping hesitated for a moment and agreed.

It’s always good to try, maybe it’s true?

"Very well, let's do that later."

Liu Banxian and Sun Ping reached a tacit deal.

Two hours later, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Stop the car to make arrangements. Everyone has a rest and a stick of incense, and resolve any emergencies on your own."

Mu Ying's loud voice sounded and spread throughout all the carriages.

Soon, people in the car swarmed down. They were different from Su Jing's car. They were crowded together and felt extremely stuffy.

Even if you don’t need to go to the toilet, you can come out and get some fresh air.

"Mr. Su, please come out and take a breath."

Mu Ying opened the door curtain of the carriage and said to Su Jing.

"it is good."

Su Jing nodded and got out of the car.

Liu Banxian and Sun Ping followed closely, but stopped following after getting off the car.

"Brother Mu, I heard that you have been promoted, congratulations!"

Su Jing took a sip of water and congratulated Mu Ying.

Mu Ying immediately said: "I'm just a fellow acquaintance, nothing more. Far inferior to Mr. Su."

"You are so humble. It is rare for Your Majesty to have a adopted son like you."

Su Jing said sincerely.

There are many incompetent children among Lao Zhu's biological children. As an adopted son, Mu Ying is quite outstanding.

Mu Ying said: "Mr. Su is ridiculous. I am just eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor. My father has treated me with great kindness, so I should try my best to repay him."

"Ah."

Su Jing nodded: "If you have this awareness, then I don't need to say anything more. Work hard and you will have a bright future."

As someone who has been able to survive Lao Zhu's liquidation in his later years, Mu Ying must have her own set of skills.

Su Jing now just thinks that Mu Ying has a good character and good temperament, and she is a friend she can make.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Su." Mu Ying cupped her hands and said, "Sir, although I know that I shouldn't be involved in this matter, I still want to know who dares to harm you? Does he have any clues?"

Mu Ying is also very concerned about Su Jing's affairs.

Su Jing paused, nodded and said, "I already know who the murderer is behind this."

"Who is it? Who is so bold!"

Mu Ying immediately asked, her expression full of eagerness.

Su Jing shook her head slightly: "Brother Mu, I can't say."

"why?"

Mu Ying asked subconsciously, and then said: "Forget it, since Mr. Su said he couldn't say it, there must be a reason why he couldn't say it. I won't ask any more questions."

This is top-level emotional intelligence!No wonder you can live so long!
Su Jing sighed in her heart, Mu Ying is not very old now, more than 20 years old, a little older than herself, but she can already do this.

Be able to decisively put aside your curiosity about things that you are curious about.

Not everyone has this kind of ability.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Mu, but don't worry, Brother Mu, I, Su Jing, am not a soft persimmon. I won't do anything even if I know who the murderer is."

Su Jing smiled lightly.

Mu Ying nodded and said: "Since Mr. Su has already made a plan in his mind, it's because I'm worrying too much. The trip is not over half way yet, so I ask Mr. Su to be patient."

"Brother Mu, what do I have to endure? With your protection, I can feel at ease."

Su Jing said with a smile.

The time for burning incense ended quickly, and all the personnel returned to the carriage again.

Su Jing entered the carriage safely and did not say anything about Sun Ping's absence.

"Huh? Mr. Su, why are you not curious at all that Shopkeeper Sun is not here?"

Liu Banxian asked Su Jing very curiously.

Su Jing glanced at Liu Banxian and said, "Did you really think I was sleeping just now? This carriage is so big, I can hear what you two said very clearly."

Su Jing was also curious about how the third person couldn't hear the kind of soft talking from close quarters in costume dramas.

Anyway, it's unlikely inside the carriage. As long as you're not deaf, you can hear clearly.

"Uh...this..."

Liu Banxian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Su Jing said calmly: "Okay, don't be pretentious here. I know very well who you Liu Banxian is."

"Hehe! Mr. Su, you see, since you heard it but pretended not to hear it, it means what I just said is right."

Liu Banxian's expression changed and he was smiling again.

Su Jing nodded: "Sun Ping always behaves cautiously when he is around me. He can't change it, and I can't help it. You let him leave first, which makes me relieved."

"Mr. Su, you seem to dislike others treating you respectfully like a master?"

Liu Banxian asked Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "You are right, you can be respectful to me, but if it is too much, I will feel uncomfortable."

"But there is a difference between superiority and inferiority in this world, especially you, Mr. Su. You are not only shopkeeper Sun's boss, you are also Uncle Ren Yuan. There are too many people who want to respect you!"

Liu Banxian said slowly: "If you can't adapt to this, you will have to suffer for the rest of your life."

"Haha."

Su Jing smiled and said: "Then there are still people like you, Liu Banxian, who know my identity but can still get along with me like this."

This is an important reason why Su Jing can treat Liu Banxian differently.

Su Jing has come to Ming Dynasty for so long that she understands the importance of hierarchy. This is something that is engraved in her bones and cannot be changed.

Such things as freedom, equality and fraternity do not exist.

But this Liu Banxian was a little different. At least when he was in front of him, he acted very comfortable.

Su Jing didn't care what the reason was for Liu Banxian, at least she felt comfortable this way.

Liu Banxian doesn't have any bad intentions, he just likes to rub against himself, so let him rub against him. Anyway, he won't lose anything.

"Master Su is joking, I'm not the kind of person you say."

Liu Banxian shook his head and said, "I'm just a person who sees a little more than others."

"It doesn't matter. This world is a big place. It would be too boring to delve into the reasons for such things."

Su Jing smiled indifferently, not paying attention to the profound meaning of Liu Banxian's words.

Or maybe he understood it, but just didn't want to explain it too clearly.

"Master Su is so free and easy, I admire him."

Liu Banxian also laughed. He took out the dried meat from the package under the seat and ate it directly.

"It's a pity. If I could have met someone like Mr. Su decades ago, I, Liu Banxian, would probably not be like this now."

Liu Banxian chewed the dried meat carefully and sighed.

Su Jing reached out for a piece and said while eating: "Life is a journey with no turning back. How can there be so many ifs? Besides, it's not too late to meet me now. At least you, Liu Banxian, can still eat dried meat." Teeth."

"Hahahaha! Mr. Su is so funny."

Liu Banxian laughed and said, "But I'm surprised. Mr. Su has money, status, good looks, good academic skills, and such a funny personality. How come he's not married yet?"

"If I had a daughter, I would probably have found a way to persuade the matchmaker to marry you, Mr. Su."

Liu Banxian's words are true. Su Jing's conditions are indeed a good choice for marriage.

"Who knows, maybe it's my fate."

Su Jing chewed the dried meat and felt it was a little dry, so she took out the water bag and drank some water.

Liu Banxian's expression changed, he sat up straight, looked at Su Jing and said: "Mr. Su, have you forgotten that I, Liu Banxian, am a fortune teller! This matter of marriage is within my business scope. How about it? Is there any Does interest count?"

Liu Banxian really had some ideas when it came to fortune telling on the carriage.

Su Jing smiled and said, "It's up to you."

"okay."

Liu Banxian was very happy, but before he was happy for a second, his face dropped again.

"But I will give you money. I don't believe in fortune telling, so I won't waste money."

Su Jing was minding her own business, eating dried meat and drinking water, as if following Liu Banxian.

"No, Mr. Su, you are a big boss after all, why bother saving this little money? It's just ten coppers."

Liu Banxian looked ugly and said, he really didn't expect that Su Jing could directly say not to pay.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "This has nothing to do with my having money. This is not called saving, but not wasting money. If I believe it, let alone ten copper coins, so what if it is ten taels of silver? The money has to be spent, isn't it worth it? "

Liu Banxian was helpless. Su Jing was determined not to pay.

If fortune-telling was done without giving money, it would really undermine Liu Banxian's fortune-telling principles.

But if not counting it, Liu Banxian was quite curious.

A person like Su Jing really shouldn't be unmarried.

The carriage kept moving forward, the carriage was shaking, and Liu Banxian's heart was also tangled.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Banxian's frown relaxed: "That's all, just think of it as my kindness."
