Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 9
As a modern person, Li Zhu hadn't walked such a long distance for a long time. Coupled with the fact that her shoes didn't fit her feet, she was so tired that her legs were sore and her feet ached after walking for half an hour.She sat on the side of the road to rest for a while before continuing on.

She took the official road, which leads directly to Yangji. Yangji is a big market, and there is a market every other day, and today is just in time for the market.There are more and more pedestrians on the road, there are shopkeepers carrying loads, farmers carrying large baskets of vegetables, and some girls and daughters-in-law dressed in fancy clothes, chatting and walking.

Among the people walking in the same direction as Li Zhu was a young man driving a donkey cart.The man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a calm face and clear eyebrows.He was dressed in plain clothes, and was dressed in old blue cloth, and his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.He drove the donkey cart unhurriedly, and kept his eyes on the chattering women as he passed by.His unique temperament and appearance attracted the attention of many people. Two girls in the crowd glanced at him shyly.I don't know who brought up the topic, "Which village did the young man come from? He was born with a strange face."

"Yeah, he's pretty handsome, and he looks like a scholar."

"Hey, sister-in-law Qian, you're already married, why are you still thinking about her young offspring?"

"Let me tell you what's wrong, watch me twist your mouth."

"..."

The crowd rioted.

Li Zhu was not far or close to these people, and their voices were neither loud nor soft, so she could get a rough idea.The young man driving the car in front of her didn't know if he heard it or not.Li Zhu couldn't help but look at the man a little more curiously.Xu Shi felt her gaze, and the man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but glance back, just in time to meet Li Zhu's gaze.Seeing that Li Zhu couldn't avoid it, he simply smiled at him generously.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled back at her.Then he raised his whip and drove the donkey to the front.After walking for a while, we came to a fork in the road.Go straight to Yangji, to the east is Yangjiaji, and to the west is Yangshutun.The group of vegetable sellers and the group of young women all went to the market town, only Li Zhu and the man in Tsing Yi turned on the road to Yangjiaji.

A few of the young women looked back at the man with a little reluctance, and some said, "He went to the Yang Family Collection. I wonder if he should go on a date or go home?"
