small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 28 First Encounter
The boy brought Mu Qiu to a tea house, not far from Tianxiangju.He didn't stop until he walked outside a private room on the second floor, opened the door and invited Mu Qiu in.

Sitting in the room was a gentle-looking young man, about twenty years old, wearing a blue robe that was not eye-catching.When he saw Mu Qiu walk in, he immediately stood up: "Girl is here, please sit down."

Mu Qiu walked to the seat facing him and sat down, a cup of tea was already set in front of him.A tea fragrance rises from the white porcelain teacup, which is a pleasant smell of jasmine.

"It's rude to take the liberty to bring the girl here. I, Li Jingchuan, haven't asked the girl's name yet." He spoke in an unhurried tone, with a polite smile on his face all the time.

"Little girl Sang Muqiu." His smile can easily make people relax their guard. Unlike Tong Hao's smile, which always hides calculations, Mu Qiu feels that she has unintentionally become indifferent when getting along with this Mr. Li.

"It turned out to be Miss Sang. I was not at home before, and I heard that you bought a lot of seeds from the Xifan Kingdom. I was really curious. It wasn't until I heard that Tianxiangju was selling cold melons a few days ago, that I took the liberty to come here. Dare I ask that those cold melons were planted by girls?"

"It was indeed planted by me, thanks to the seeds I bought from Mr. Li's shop."

"The girl has a pair of skillful hands, I really admire her."

"Mr. Li is serious. Mu Qiu was born as a peasant girl. She can only barely support herself with this kind of farming skills. She really can't bear such praise."

Li Jingchuan did not continue to say some polite words to her, but asked directly: "I don't know where Miss Sang lives, and I really want to visit her."

Mu Qiu was disturbed by his direct question, and was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.Li Jingchuan looked at her and showed an apologetic smile: "Please don't blame the girl, I'm just curious about what those seeds look like when they grow. I wonder if the girl can let me have a look?"

Looking at his expectant eyes, Mu Qiu was sure that he was just curious about the things he had grown.He didn't ask Mu Qiu what method she used to grow the cold melon, so it can be seen that she is also a person who knows how to measure.

In short, Mu Qiu still has a good impression of Li Jingchuan: "Of course Mr. Li wants to see it, but I don't want more people to know about some things, so I ask Mr. Li not to mention it to outsiders."

Li Jingchuan was overjoyed to get Mu Qiu's permission, and he immediately replied: "Naturally, I will definitely keep the girl's secret!"

Mu Qiu told him the address of his home and went back.Li Jingchuan was of course happier when he knew the address, and he planned to make some time to visit him.

The noon sun became even hotter, and Mu Qiu endured the heat wave and ordered a bowl of wontons in a small shop.At this time, the ox cart back to the village hadn't come yet, and it was estimated that she would arrive almost there after lunch.

This small shop is located at the entrance of the town. Although the place is not big, there are many customers coming and going.A basket of steaming steamed buns is out of the pan again, and the boss is busy packing them for the customers who need them.Mu Qiu fanned the air with his hands, feeling himself getting hotter.

Suddenly, a dirty child rushed out from a small alley. He quickly grabbed two buns and ran away.The boss reacted very quickly, put down the things in his hand and chased him out.That kid was no match for an adult, he was overtaken within two steps.

"Little beggar, you dare to snatch my steamed stuffed bun! Bring the money!" The boss tightly grasped his clean wrist, with a fierce look on his face.

But that child has been reduced to the point of grabbing food, where can I get the money?He just struggled hard and didn't speak, holding two buns tightly in his hands and refused to let go.

　Update every day I will try to be stable at noon.The first update today, and another update in the afternoon!
