Shao Qingyuan directly said to the coachman, “Go to the county town.”
“Why go to the county town? We’re going to your village, Yongfu Village. I came to find you to take me hunting in the mountains. I’ll give you one hundred taels of silver. How about you take me to hunt a deer?” Liu Wei eagerly suggested, wanting the coachman to turn around.
However, Shao Qingyuan stared at him firmly and repeated, “Go to the county town.” If he needed something from him, he had to listen to him. Otherwise, he would kick him out and take the carriage directly.
Liu Wei trembled under his gaze and chuckled, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. Seems like you have urgent matters in the county town. I’m willing to help, I’ll take you there. But let’s make a deal, after you finish your business, you’ll take me hunting deer. I came to your village yesterday intending to find you, but I had to leave in a hurry.”
Liu Wei knew Shao Qingyuan because the last time, Shao Qingyuan sold him a wild boar. This person was generous and directly gave him fifty taels of silver.
That wild boar was a big one, and Liu Wei admired Shao Qingyuan a lot at that time. But after he got the silver, he left when Shao Qingyuan wasn’t paying attention, and Liu Wei didn’t have the chance to ask for his address or name.
This time he wanted to hunt a deer to give as a gift, which was very useful. He immediately thought of Shao Qingyuan, but he didn’t have any information about him.
Just as he was wondering if he should find another hunter to take him into the mountains, he ran into Chen Yulan.
Fang Shi and Chen Yulan were attending her nephew’s wedding banquet. The wife her nephew married happened to be the second-tier maid by Liu Wei’s mother’s side. She was older and had been released, and she and her nephew took a liking to each other.
The day after she got married, she came to Liu’s house to pay respects to his mother, as a confirmation of their relationship as mistress and servant. Perhaps it was also to inform the Fang family that she had a backer when she was favored in the master’s house and couldn’t be bullied easily.
At that time, Chen Yulan wanted to come along, saying she wanted to see the world. She kept praising the maid who came from a maid’s background as her sister-in-law, and with the persuasion of the elders, the maid had no choice but to bring Chen Yulan along to Liu’s house.
Liu Wei was talking to his mother at that time, and it happened to be about the wild boar he had bought a few days ago.
When Chen Yulan heard about the wild boar, she remembered that before she and her mother went to her grandmother’s house, they heard that a wolf cub in the village had caught a wild boar and was going to take it to the county town to sell.
Unfortunately, at that time, she and her mother were in a hurry and didn’t have time to go see it.
Now, hearing Liu Wei’s words, the timing matched, the appearance and age matched, wasn’t it Shao Qingyuan?
Chen Yulan was excited at the thought and found an opportunity to shyly tell Liu Wei that the hunter was from their village.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei immediately expressed his desire for her to lead the way to their village to find Shao Qingyuan.
So, that’s why Gu Yundong saw Liu Wei and Fang Shi standing together before.
Just didn’t expect that Liu Wei had just arrived at Yongfu Village yesterday to watch a play, and hadn’t found Shao Qingyuan yet, but was called back by the servant, saying there was an urgent matter at home.
Liu Wei could only regretfully say he would come back another day, who knew he would meet Shao Qingyuan on the way today.
Great, that way his deer would have a place to go.
Deep down, Liu Wei felt that Shao Qingyuan was capable. He knew that Shao Qingyuan had sold more than one wild boar.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei felt quite pleased. Even heaven was helping him. He confirmed again, “Once you’re done with your business in the county town, can you take me hunting in the mountains? I want to go myself, will you take me?”
Shao Qingyuan frowned, this person was too bothersome.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, he abruptly turned his head and asked him, “You know Peng Zhongfei, right?”
