Chapter 34 You only have days
Xie Yuan turned around and saw the large bruises on her arms at a glance. Her skin was very white, and the bruises on the background were particularly dazzling and a bit shocking.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but frown. Seeing that the injury didn't look like an accidental hit, Xie Yuan looked away. He was going to Jinxiufang tomorrow.
The cold ointment was applied to the bruise. It stung a little at first, but it soon became comfortable. Jiang Mingyue put down her sleeves and looked at the person with his back to her.
"Thank you, brother, I'm fine!"
Xie Yuan turned around and didn't ask anything, just said: "Let me take your pulse!"
Jiang Mingyue didn't expect that he would still remember this incident. Knowing that he was doing it for her own good, Jiang Mingyue stretched out her right hand.
Xie Yuan put his hand on her white wrist, calmed himself down, and then checked her pulse. After a while, he put away his hand.
"You're in good health and there's nothing major wrong with you."
Jiang Mingyue smiled when she heard this.
"I also think I'm in good health!"
Xie Yuan taught her how to speak dialect again. Seeing Jiang Minghong coming, he handed the ointment to her and whispered: "Apply again tomorrow morning."
"Ok!"
Jiang Mingyue hid the ointment as quickly as possible and followed her brother back home.
At around 6 o'clock the next day, Xie Yuan walked into Jinxiufang. This was the time when the store had the most customers. After his eyes lingered on the busy Jiang Mingyue for a few breaths, he looked at the other three waiters.
Today, Jiang Mingyue was more attentive when entertaining guests. When cutting fabrics for the guests, she focused on Wu Mei.
Wu Mei was very peaceful at first, until when she was cutting silk satin for a customer, Jiang Mingyue immediately became alert when she saw Wu Mei walking over quietly.
So when Wu Mei used her old tricks and bumped into her, Jiang Mingyue leaned her body to avoid it.
Wu Mei didn't expect Jiang Mingyue to be on guard. She staggered and almost fell down. After holding on to a shelf to steady herself, she turned her head and glared at Jiang Mingyue and started to curse.
"You stinky girl, how dare you trip me..."
He raised his hands while scolding.
Han Lanlan, who was keeping accounts, raised her head and frowned displeased at this scene.
"Brother Wu, why don't you come over to greet the guests!"
Wu Mei cursed and took back her hand, turned around and met a pair of deep eyes.
There was no emotion in the man's eyes, but Wu Mei suddenly shuddered for some reason, feeling a little scared and feeling fuzzy in her heart.
Xie Yuan looked at the person who lowered his head and avoided his gaze, with a cold light in his eyes, and left Jinxiufang.
When Jiang Mingyue handed the cut cloth to the guest, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Before she could take a closer look, a guest blocked her view.
"Miss Jiang, I want seven feet of cotton."
"Hey!"
Jiang Mingyue withdrew her gaze and got busy again.
In the afternoon, Jiang Minghong left the private school with the boys in Class A. This was a agricultural and business class. The master sent them to the market to understand some basic conditions of farmers and businessmen, so as to write some articles.
Jiang Minghong and the boys walked around the market for an hour. After getting enough information, he saw that it was already the hour, so he thought it was time for his sister to get off work and he went to Jinxiufang separately with the boys.
Jiang Mingyue saw the surprise on her brother's face and asked, "Why are you here? Why are you leaving school so early today?"
"Master has arranged an agricultural and business class for us..."
Jiang Mingyue was very surprised after hearing her brother's explanation. Isn't this a bit like an experience lesson for future generations?
I have to say that the masters at Yu's private school really dare to think and act.
"Your wives are good."
The two siblings said a few words. Jiang Mingyue took her brother's hand and spoke to Shopkeeper Han before leaving Jinxiufang.
Aunt He and Uncle Wang walked to the counter and said, "Ming Yue's brother looks good."
"You're so polite, there may be another scholar in our county in the future." Uncle Wang looked at the shopkeeper and said meaningfully.
Han Lanlan fell into deep thought after hearing this.
On the way, Jiang Mingyue bought some pastries for her younger brother, handed them to him and asked, "Besides the agricultural and business classes, what other classes are there?"
"Arithmetic class, then the Four Books and Five Classics, and the ink meanings of the classics."
"Oh! There are quite a lot of courses. How many teachers are there in total?"
"Three. In addition to Master Xie, there are also Master Zhou and Master Yu."
…………
Since her younger brother entered Yu's private school and she started working at Jinxiufang, the siblings haven't talked like this for a long time. After all, they were both busy at the beginning.
Zhidi's three tutors are all very good, and the learning atmosphere in the school is also very good. Zhidi has now fully integrated into Class A, and Jiang Mingyue is completely relieved.
In the evening, while Jiang Mingyue was silently reviewing the dialect she learned yesterday, she suddenly heard Xie Yuan ask: "Is the injury on your arm getting better?"
"Well, that ointment is very useful. Just apply it two or three times and it should be fine. Thank you very much. Thank you for your concern, brother."
Xie Yuan pushed the freshly poured tea in front of her.
"What did buddy Wu do?"
The man's calm voice was like thunder in Jiang Mingyue's ears. She raised her head suddenly, widened her eyes, and looked at him in shock: "You, how do you know?"
Thinking of the familiar figure she saw today, she then asked: "Did you go to Jinxiufang today?"
After finishing speaking, he hastily added another sentence.
"Brother Xie, please don't tell Xiao Hong."
Xie Yuan looked at Jiang Mingyue who was like a frightened bird at this moment.
"Okay, I won't tell him, just drink tea!"
Xie Yuan made his voice as gentle as possible.
Jiang Mingyue took a sip of tea and said 'huh' in surprise.
"Brother Xie, put the honeysuckle? There seems to be something else."
"Throat protector, drink more."
Jiang Mingyue felt warm and moved when she heard this.
"Thank you, thank you brother!"
She paused and laughed at herself: "I feel like the thank you I've said during this period has almost caught up with what I said in the previous sixteen years."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan looked at her gently with his deep eyes and said, "Then I should feel honored."
Looking at the girl who lowered her head to drink tea.
"What's going on between you and Wu?"
Jiang Mingyue glanced outside to make sure her brother would come, and whispered what happened between her and Wu Mei.
Xie Yuan stroked the bamboo cup with his right hand.
"What are you going to do? Keep enduring being bullied by her like this?"
Jiang Mingyue looked at Xie Yuan and smiled, but this time her smile was wilting.
"Brother Xie, if I keep enduring like this, it's actually a kind of counterattack."
There was a strong energy in her clear eyes, and there was a dark light in her eyes.
"Brother Xie, do you know how to flatter me? Recently, the shopkeeper has become more and more dissatisfied with Wu Mei."
Xie Yuan leaned on the back of his chair, looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Yes, he looked like someone who was easy to bully, but he actually had a bit of a temper.
"That alone is not enough."
Jiang Mingyue sat up straight, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Xie Yuan with a pleading look on her face.
Her appearance made Xie Yuan feel better again.
"Boiling frogs in warm water can kill them, but it's too slow. It's late April now, and the owner of Jinxiufang will come to inspect the shop at the end of this month. This is an opportunity for you."
Jiang Mingyue fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"Remember, once you take action, you must kill him with one strike. You must not give the enemy a chance to make a comeback. Do you understand?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded.
Xie Yuan looked at her and asked again.
"Can it be done?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded again.
Xie Yuan picked up the bamboo cup and looked at Jiang Mingyue and touched it with her.
"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and lowered her head to drink tea when she heard his sudden words.
"You only have ten days."
Jiang Mingyue looked up at Xie Yuan, who had a normal expression. In addition to telling her that time was tight, she always felt that his words had other meanings. Jiang Mingyue did not let herself think too much and said obediently: "I know! "
"Protect yourself these ten days and don't get hurt again."
Otherwise, he might be tempted to take action directly.
Jiang Mingyue responded with a sweet voice, "Okay!" '.
At noon the next day, when there was no one in the store, Han Lanlan called Jiang Mingyue and the four of them together and said: "In a while, the boss will come to inspect the shop. You work hard. If you perform well and satisfy the boss, your rewards will be indispensable." , if you cause trouble or cause trouble again, then don’t blame me for being rude."
When he said the last sentence, Han Lanlan glanced at Wu Mei with a warning.
Jiang Mingyue was a little surprised. Yesterday Xie Yuan just said that his boss would come to inspect, and today shopkeeper Han announced the news, so how did he know?
