Chapter 568 Stingy Yang Kaitai
Shen Bijun snickered.
Feng Siniang snorted coldly, waved her hand and pulled the cloak, covering her exquisite waist, long legs and feet, and then rolled her eyes at Lian Chengbi.
The meaning is very obvious, I won’t show it to you!
"Your husband is not a serious gentleman." Feng Siniang said to Shen Bijun.
Who is a serious gentleman who would reveal someone’s background?
Although she is in her early thirties, her skin is still tight and there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. No matter how she looks, she looks like a beautiful woman in her early twenties.
"The way of a gentleman is to tell the truth."
Lian Chengbi smiled leisurely and said, "You want to sow discord between our husband and wife. To be honest, I am not a serious gentleman. How can there be such truth in the world?"
"I think your eyes are not honest, let me try you for the Shen sister." Feng Siniang said.
"Food and sex are the nature of a gentleman. A gentleman is upright and never cheats." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.
Feng Siniang also laughed when she heard this, "Is it possible that those guys who want to swallow me up are all gentlemen?"
"That's desire, not lust." Lian Chengbi waved his hand and said, "A gentleman's lust is the appreciation of beautiful things, and the lust of others is the possession of beautiful things. They should not be confused together."
Lian Chengbi talked seriously, and Shen Bijun couldn't help but blush. If he hadn't been with Lian Chengbi every night, he might have really believed it.
But Feng Siniang was really deceived and nodded blankly, "It seems to make sense."
Shen Bijun couldn't bear it anymore and didn't dare to let Feng Siniang talk to Liancheng Bi anymore, so he pulled her sleeve and asked her about the scenery outside the pass.
Yang Kaitai rode a horse and followed the carriage nonchalantly. He looked into the car and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Feng Siniang had covered herself tightly.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lian Chengbi, but he knows how attractive Lian Chengbi is to women.
…
The escort team entered Suzhou at noon. The branch of Hengtong Bank in the city got the news early and invited a chef in the city to prepare a sumptuous lunch, which was served to the escort team after the delivery.
Lian Chengbi did not eat the big pot meal, but took Shen Bijun and Yang Kaitai to say hello and came to Suzhou Street.
Feng Siniang was naturally with them.
Yang Kaitai followed up with sweat.
"As promised, I will treat you at noon, and I will definitely treat you!" Yang Kaitai said seriously.
A moment later, Feng Siniang and Shen Bijun were sitting in a drafty shop, staring at the steaming mutton noodles and a piece of naan bigger than the pot lid in front of them in a daze.
Feng Siniang, "..."
Shen Bijun, "..."
Yang Kaitai sprinkled a large handful of chopped green onion into his bowl, poured a little vinegar, and said with a sincere face, "I just asked the shopkeeper of the bank, Buyimai Tijia's mutton noodles are very authentic, the price is right, and the mutton is large. , the noodles are chewy.”
Shen Bijun forced out a smile, "Yeah."
Yang Kaitai nodded, picked up the big piece of naan again, tore it into small pieces with a wave of his hand, and placed it among everyone, "And their naan is fragrant and crispy when it's freshly baked. You should hurry up while it's hot." Eat it!”
Feng Siniang's eyes twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I have stayed outside the customs longer than you, so I know when the naan is best to eat."
"Yes, yes!" Yang Kaitai nodded repeatedly, with a flattering smile on his square face, "Siniang has rich experience in the world, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Feng Siniang was speechless for a while, but she couldn't say anything yet, because strictly speaking, it was Yang Kaitai who helped her just now, and she was supposed to be the one to treat him. Now that Yang Kaitai was rushing to pay the bill, could she still dislike it?
Besides, Feng Siniang is not a pampered person.
The reason why she was speechless at this time was just because she didn't expect it, because she originally wanted to treat Shen Bijun to a big dinner.
"Siniang, the mutton is a bit tangy, please pour more vinegar."
"Siniang, is his naan delicious?"
"Fourth mother..."
"Sir, we also have barbecue at our house. Cumin barbecue is very fragrant. Would you like some?"
"No, this piece of naan is enough for us."
Yang Kaitai waved the shopkeeper down, and Feng Siniang squinted her eyes and said calmly, "I like cumin barbecue the most."
Yang Kaitai was stunned, and immediately said to the shopkeeper, "Last order of cumin barbecue!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "How about I serve you a grilled lamb chop?"
Feng Siniang answered, "No, I don't want roasted lamb chops. I want a roasted whole lamb. It has to be a nine-month-old lamb."
The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "Girl is an expert, don't worry, we will serve the roasted whole lamb, designated as the most tender lamb!"
Yang Kaitai wiped his sweat, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the money bag at his waist, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liancheng Bi raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, have you brought enough money?"
"A poor family has a way to get rich, and a poor family has a way to get rich." Yang Kaitai wiped his forehead, "I just withdrew some from the bank, but the steward who came with me reminded me to bring more."
Lian Chengbi nodded clearly, and the manager of the [Yuanji] ticket office noticed it.
…
After everyone ate mutton noodles and roasted lamb, they arrived at the largest market in Suzhou.
In addition to Han Chinese, there are many blond and blue-eyed foreigners in the market, some wearing headscarves or veils, speaking an incomprehensible rap language or broken Chinese.
"The Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties has withered away. Nowadays, the number of merchants coming from the Western Regions is only a fraction of what it was back then."
Feng Siniang introduced as she walked, "But even so, it is still no problem to feed the people along the road and some businessmen who specialize in this field."
Yang Kaitai also added, "The imperial court almost no longer cares about the trade here, so merchants, big and small, flocked to it. If it were a few hundred years ago, the eight million taels of Hengtong Bank could only be regarded as a drop of water in the ocean."
The market is not too big. After all, Suzhou is just one of the trading places near Jiayuguan. Dunhuang and Hami are located outside the pass and are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. They are actually more prosperous than Suzhou.
Powerful big customers prefer to trade there.
Shen Bijun and Feng Siniang were wandering around the market, but they didn't particularly like anything because she really didn't lack anything.
However, Lian Chengbi still bought some Persian-style jewelry for Shen Bijun, and added some special carpets to Wugou Villa. He also bought a small dagger inlaid with various gemstones and gave it to Shen Bijun for self-defense.
Every time Liancheng Bi bought a gift for Shen Bijun, Yang Kaitai wiped his sweat.
Then Yang Kaitai approached Feng Siniang and said, "Siniang, are you interested in anything? I'll give it to you!"
Feng Siniang snorted, "I don't want anything! I've been here for almost a year, why do I need to fall in love now?"
Yang Kaitai retreated, not knowing whether to be disappointed or relieved.
