Su Qing saw a young attendant blocking her way. She followed the attendant’s finger and looked at the teahouse opposite. She saw Luan Hong standing before the window and smiling at her.

Su Qing coldly retracted her gaze. With just one look, she could tell that the young lady in front of her was pretending to be a study attendant. The young master in the teahouse looked soft and weak, and he also looked like a lady.

A bold and reckless young lady would bring her trouble. Su Qing hesitantly rejected Xiao Yan’s invitation and pointed out the girl’s identity.

“We don’t know each other, young lady; please conduct yourself with dignity.”

Su Qing left as soon as he finished speaking. Xiao Yan was in a mess. How could he tell that she was a lady at a glance?

When Luan Hong, who was upstairs, saw that Xiao Yan did not invite Su Qing up and that she had left instead, she anxiously ran downstairs with her long shirt.

When Luan Hong ran down the stairs, Su Qing had already disappeared. Luan Hong angrily reproached the maidservant,

“How did you make the young master angry?”

“Young lady, I didn’t make the young master angry. He recognized us as young ladies.”

Xiao Yan felt very wronged. She and her young Miss had dressed up carefully and had also dressed up as women many times. Even when she and her young Miss entered the casino to play once, no one had discovered they were women. How could this young master’s eyes be so poisonous?

“Wow, he’s so smart.”

Luan Hong’s eyes lit up. She could tell that they were women at a glance. This young master had such a sharp eye. Such people were not ordinary people.

Xiao Yan looked at the young Miss with a bitter face and wanted to bring her home. “Miss, let’s go back!”

“I’m not going back. I want to find him.”

Luan Hong was determined to win. She lifted her skirt and chased where Su Qing had left.

“Miss.”

Xiao Yan stomped her feet anxiously, afraid that Luan Hong would be in danger, and quickly chased after her.

Su Qing was afraid the young lady would bug her, so she quickly walked and took two detours to shake them off. She even accidentally met Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang, who had followed Yang Zhi to buy cotton-padded clothes.

Su Qing sized up Yang Zhi. He was a straightforward man of the martial arts world. He had the aura of a martial artist, walked with vigor, and his eyes were bright.

Su Qing asked Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang, who were standing behind Yang Zhi,

“Where are you guys going?”

“I’m buying cotton clothes.”

Ji Shuisheng was very happy to see Su Qing. He was worried that she wouldn’t be able to find him when he met her.

“Buy cotton-padded clothes?”

Su Qing raised her eyebrows. Didn’t they say they would leave after finding the customs document? Why did you buy cotton-padded clothes?

“Yes.”

Ji Shuisheng didn’t know how to explain to Su Qing, so he smiled and asked her, “Do you want to go together?”

“Yes.”

Su Qing remembered that he had used the sackcloth Ji Shuisheng bought to make tofu, so he had to buy some to return to him.

In addition, if she continued walking, she would have to make cotton shoes. She also wanted to buy some cotton and make cloth for cotton shoes.

Sewing was the slowest and the easiest to level up. She wanted to do it.

Yang Zhi sized Su Qing up when she came over. The eyes of the pugilist were sharp. When he saw her neck without Adam’s apple, he immediately recognized her as a girl. However, he didn’t reveal it and pretended not to know.

The four of them came to the Su family’s cloth shop. This was the largest cloth shop in Luo City. The owner had moved to Luo City from another place and had never used inferior goods to replace the good ones when doing business, so the business was growing bigger and bigger.

“Leader Yang is here.”

The shop assistant recognized Yang Zhi and quickly came out to greet him.

“Yes, I’m here. Is your second master here?”

Yang Zhi responded with a smile and asked if his friend was there.

“The second master is inside!”

The shop assistant also saw the three people behind Yang Zhi and knew that they were the guests brought by leader Yang. He hurriedly invited them into the house.

The waiter brought them to the accountant’s room, where the second master of the Su family was checking the accounts.

The Su family’s second master looked refined and wore a plain-colored long robe. He did not have the guile and cunning of a businessman at all. Instead, he looked like a gentle and refined scholar.

“Hanxuan.”

Yang Zhi greeted his good brother with a smile as soon as he entered.

Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang looked at each other and felt that these two people were similar. One was rough, and the other was gentle and refined. These two people with entirely different personalities could be good friends.

“Brother Yang,”

Su Hanxuan greeted Yang Zhi with a smile. When he saw the three people behind Yang Zhi, he asked,

“Are these three honored guests brother Yang’s friends?”

“Yes, we’re friends from all over the world.”

Yang Zhi nodded with a smile, but his words showed that this was a friend he had just met.

“Hello, everyone; please take a seat.”

Su Hanxuan came over and cupped his fists politely, inviting Ji Shuisheng and the rest to take a seat.

“Hanxuan, I heard that you’ve already prepared cotton-padded clothes. My three friends want to purchase a large batch of cotton-padded clothes. Do you have them here?”

Yang Zhi was a reckless person. He asked Su Hanxuan the moment he sat down.

“How much do you need?”

Su Hanxuan was a cautious person. He didn’t boast immediately but asked for the exact amount. His gaze naturally turned to Ji Shuisheng. He had been observing Ji Shuisheng ever since he entered the room. He had an extraordinary appearance and wasn’t ordinary, so he spoke very politely.

“A hundred, no, a hundred and twenty pieces.”

Ji Shuisheng stretched out a finger. Their Peach Blossom Cove originally had more than a hundred people, but more than a dozen died on the road to escape, leaving less than a hundred people. However, with the addition of Qu Da and the others, their numbers increased again.

“I do have some. I have 200 sets of good cotton-padded clothes here. If you want a large number, and you’re brother Yang’s friend, I can give you the lowest price.”

Su Hanxuan smiled when he heard that Ji Shuisheng wanted more than 100 pieces of cotton-padded clothes, which he happened to have. He had just prepared his business for the cotton-padded garments, and now a big customer came to his door. He was pretty happy that he did not need Ji Shuisheng to bargain and directly said that he would give the lowest price.

“Thank you, then.”

Ji Shuisheng cupped his hands in thanks.

“Let’s take a look at the sample first?”

Su Hanxuan asked with a smile. He had not seen the cotton-padded jacket yet!

“Alright,” he said.

Qiu Yongkang wanted to see the sample before deciding; what if it was shoddy? Jingshi Dao was a bitter and cold place. In winter, if one did not have a good cotton coat, they would freeze to death. Su Hanxuan’s suggestion was just what he wanted.

Su Hanxuan ordered his men to bring the cotton-padded clothes over, and a waiter served tea and cakes.

“This tea is the high mountain tea from the southern province. It’s made from the most tender tea leaves picked by unmarried girls in early spring. Please try it and see if it’s to your liking.”

Su Hanxuan smiled as he spoke to Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang. His gaze fell on Su Qing. This young noble had not spoken a word since he entered the room.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Shuisheng sat on the chair in a bold and unrestrained manner. He picked up the teacup and used the cover to block the tea leaves as he sipped. The tea’s fragrance was rich and smooth, and the aftertaste was sweet. It was a rare good tea. Ji Shuisheng nodded and said,

“Good tea.”

“It’s good that you like it,”

Su Hanxuan chuckled. He would usually not bring it out when he was serving guests. The production of gaoshan tea was extremely low, and spring tea was incredibly precious.

Moreover, Ji Shuisheng and the others were not considered big clients. Even if it was a friend brought by Yang Zhi, there was no need to entertain them so grandly.

What was going on? When he saw Su Qing, he couldn’t help but want to serve him the best..
