Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 255 You Should Worry About Yourself

"Oh, there is stock? That's great. If we send it out in the next two days, can it be delivered before the New Year? It should take about ten days for a one-way trip from here." Jiang Yunqi said.

Hua Lei pondered for a moment. If it takes ten days to go one way, it should be delivered before the New Year. However, if the ship returns, it will probably be before the New Year. However, Hua Lei guessed that when Jiang Yunqi's father wanted this batch of goods, he definitely hoped that it would be delivered before the New Year. Generally, the military camp would make some good things before the New Year to entertain the soldiers.

So, she nodded and said, "Sure. It's still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, so it should be delivered before the New Year. However, in order to prevent the ship from taking the wrong route, I wonder if Mr. Jiang can send someone familiar to follow our ship. Then he can show our crew the way and contact General Jiang when we get there."

"That's no problem. My grandmother also wanted to bring some things over to my father and grandfather, so I can just let my uncle go with them." Jiang Yunqi replied.

"That's the best." Hua Lei smiled, looking at the amount of supplies in the small notebook, she did some mental calculations, and said to Jiang Yunqi, "Mr. Jiang, if I send it over on my ship, there will be some space. Would you like to bring one or two hundred jars of rice wine? It's the New Year, does General Jiang need rice wine?"

Bai Yunhe, who was sitting next to him, was suddenly choked by the water. He couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Familiar lines, familiar tone, these words this girl said to her grandfather, right? No wonder Butler Bai said that this girl is the best at taking advantage of the situation. He was right." He looked at Jiang Yunqi next to him and thought, "Just pay the money obediently."

Sure enough, Jiang Yunqi was very interested. He knew that the rice wine was brewed by the Hou Mansion. If he bought some for his grandfather and father, his grandfather and father would be happy, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion would also be happy. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Okay, so he ordered another two hundred jars of rice wine.

Hualei calculated and put away the notebook contentedly. After finishing the business, Hualei was very happy. Originally, I thought, it's been so long? Shouldn't I go back? But it seems a bit unkind to suggest going back now.

Jiang Yunqi's eyes were on Zhenzhu again. Oh, what should I do? What should I do? Should I go back there directly? Or should I continue to stand here and be a light bulb?

Just when she was in dilemma, Bai Yunhe beside her spoke slowly, "Miss Hua, there are some plum trees in the yard that bloom early, why don't you go and have a look?" Asking her to leave, Hua Lei sat up straight. This was not okay. If Madam Han knew about it, she would probably scold Zhenzhu again, and she who was following her would probably be implicated.

Jiang Yunqi's eyes lit up. He just couldn't find an excuse to talk to Sister Zhenzhu alone. He turned to Bai Yunhe and said, "Yunhe, Miss Hua probably doesn't know the way. How about you take Miss Hua over there?"

How shameless! I booked a private room, and you, Jiang Yunqi, actually occupied it and drove me away? But just now, the other party gave me a big deal. If I insist on staying here, will it be annoying?

Bai Yunhe next to her had already stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll show Miss Hua the way. Miss Hua, please come this way." Bai Yunhe extended his hand to invite her, and Hua Lei stood up reluctantly, looking hesitant.

"Let's go, Miss Hua. It's over there. Don't worry, it's not far away. You can hear it if you shout." Bai Yunhe seemed to see through Hua Lei's thoughts.

"Qinghe, Qingying, you stay here. I'll be back soon." Hualei now regretted not bringing the two girls with her. Qingying hesitated, looked at Hualei, and nodded.

There was no way, Hua Lei walked away, looking back every few steps. After turning around a rockery, she could no longer see Zhenzhu and Jiang Yunqi. Hua Lei paused.

"Miss Hua, what are you worried about? Are you worried about Miss Pei? I think your worry is unnecessary. Brother Yunqi and Miss Pei are already engaged and will get married next year. Even if they hold hands now, it's okay, right? Why are you guarding against Brother Yunqi like a thief? Besides, there's a maid watching over there. Miss Pei might think you're being fussy."

Because they were quite far away, Bai Yunhe's voice was not loud, so Zhenzhu couldn't hear it.

"I think you should be worried about yourself. Look, you left your maids there to guard against Brother Yunqi, and you, a young lady, followed a man like me to other places to appreciate flowers. If I have any bad intentions, are you finished?

Or did Miss Hua deliberately leave her maid there so that she could be alone with me? If so, I would be honored. "Bai Yunhe said with a smirk.

Hua Lei was startled. Oh, she had lost her mind again. She was only thinking about Zhenzhu, but forgot that she also needed to pay attention to the differences between men and women. What should she do now? Go back and ask Qingying to come over? Seeing Bai Yunhe's ruffian look, Hua Lei couldn't help but get angry. So, she kicked him faster than her brain could think.

"You're overthinking it." Hua Lei said angrily.

"Ouch, it hurts." Bai Yunhe rubbed his legs exaggeratedly. He really didn't expect Hua Lei to attack directly, so he didn't prepare at all. Besides, Hua Lei's fancy punches and kicks couldn't hurt him at all, so he didn't dodge at all.

Hua Lei glared at him, ignored him, and walked forward. She was not worried that Bai Yunhe was really up to no good. After knowing him for so long, she knew that Bai Yunhe was just a rude person, not a bad person. Besides, people who really had bad intentions would not say it in advance.

Bai Yunhe smiled, his eyebrows curved, like a fox that succeeded. He followed behind Hua Lei and said as if he didn't care, "Miss Hua, are you going in the wrong direction, or do you want to take me to a better and quieter place? It's no problem for me. Wherever Miss Hua goes, I will follow. I'm not afraid."

Hua Lei stopped walking. She was almost pissed off by Bai Yunhe. This guy was really rude. Hua Lei didn't know what to say. But what should she do? Curse him? Hua Lei couldn't seem to do it.

"Mr. Bai, do you often treat other girls like this?" Hua Lei asked with a smile.

Bai Yunhe was startled and said with a smile, "How is that possible? I am usually very shy. I rarely talk even to my cousin at home."

"Really? Just assume that what you said is true. Then why do you always say strange things to me? People who don't know you would think that you are a frivolous person who is deliberately taking advantage of me."
