The teahouse had been open for five days without me realizing it. Business was good, and there were a lot of people. Taohong and Dazhu took care of it very well, so I didn't have to worry too much. I just watched it every day and then went out for a walk. Some people would stare at me on the way. Perhaps they knew me because of the teahouse, especially that Tang Moyang. He always talked to me. At first, I found him annoying, but I gradually got used to it, just like now.
"Ms. Smith, are you going out again today?”Tang Moyang walked to my side and asked. I looked at him and nodded with a smile before walking out with Dazhu.
"Miss Smith, do you want me to show you around?”Tang Moyang said from behind. I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him.
"Young Master Tang, why do you always have to follow me?”I asked.
"No, I just want to go out and take a look around.”Tang Moyang explained. I smiled helplessly. It didn't matter if there was one more person anyway.
"Alright then, let's take a walk together." I walked in front while Tang Moyang stood on the right. Dazhu kept looking at him while I kept looking at the roadside.
He walked to the side of Yangzhou's West Lake. He would come here for the next few days to look at the lake or take a boat ride. He would rest quietly on the boat and enjoy the scenery.
"Miss, are we still going by boat?”Dazhu looked at me and asked. I looked at him silently and turned to look at Tang Moyang." We're going to take a boat. Where are you going?"”
"Since we're taking a boat, count me in. I also want to take a boat to take a look. I hope Miss Smith doesn't mind.”Tang Moyang smiled, but Dazhu looked at him with a complicated expression.
I shook my head. Forget it. Should I reject him? He's a guest of the teahouse after all.
"Since that's the case, let's go together!”I said calmly as I walked to the lakeside and arrived at the uncle's boat that I frequented.
"Miss, you're here again?" Uncle smiled at me.
"Yes, uncle, I'm here again.”I smiled. The uncle was very amiable.
"Then we'll take a boat ride back today, right?”As the uncle spoke, I boarded the boat. Dazhu and Tang Moyang followed suit.
"Yes, uncle, I'm here again.”I smiled. The uncle was very amiable.
"Then we'll take a boat ride back today, right?”As the uncle spoke, I boarded the boat. Dazhu and Tang Moyang followed suit.
"En, yes. Uncle, you've worked hard.”I said as I sat by the boat and looked at the lake.
Dazhu and Tang Moyang sat next to each other. Dazhu seemed to be hostile towards Tang Moyang. I just felt it, but I didn't know if it was true.
"Ms. Smith, do you come here every day to take a boat to enjoy the scenery? Won't you get sick of it?" Tang Moyang asked me. I thought about it and replied," Young Master Tang, if you like something, will you get sick of it if you look at it every day?”
"Hehe, Ms. Smith is right, but you'll get tired of looking at it every day.”He's right, that's true, but I only come here occasionally to take a look or think about things. It's just that it's the quietest when I'm on the boat.
"Yes, Young Master Tang is right. Then let's listen to the wind and the sound of the lake quietly.”I smiled and closed my eyes, listening to the sound of the wind and the lake, quietly enjoying the comfort of the moment.
However, after a moment of silence, Dazhu's voice was heard." Young Master Tang, why do you keep looking at my young lady? Don't you know how to avoid arousing suspicion? What would others say if they saw you?”
"Hehe, this little brother, your young miss is not married, and I am not married. I will keep an eye on her. If others talk, I will at most go and propose marriage.”Tang Moyang said with a smile. I was stunned. What did he mean?
However, Dazhu was angered by his words because he knew who I was. Seeing that Dazhu was angry, I quickly tried to smooth things over and said," Young Master Tang, you're joking. Dazhu was just saying. You don't have to take it to heart.”
"Miss Su, I'm not joking. There are very few capable women like you. I do have plans to propose marriage.”Tang Moyang said seriously. He understood what he meant. It was because I was special, capable, and different from other women.
"Young Master Tang, my young lady already has a husband. Please find another wife.”Dazhu's words stunned me. I knew he wanted to help me, but his words hurt me.
"Oh? Miss Su already has a husband? How could a man let his wife do business in public? And you didn't appear." Tang Moyang said reasonably. I shook my head as I knew he would say that.
"You…" "Young Master Tang must be joking. Dazhu only said that in a moment of impulsiveness. He's just thinking for me. My servant girls and servants are all my family and care about me.”I explained that no matter what the reason was, I didn't want to get married. Besides, I was still Yinzhen's wife in name, even though he might think I was dead.
"How can you say that, Ms. Smith? You're already at the age to get married. How can you not get married?”Tang Moyang asked doubtfully.
He was right. In ancient times, it was indeed the age to get married. However, even if I hadn't married before, I still didn't want to get married. After all, my thinking was modern and different from the ancients. As long as they could survive, it didn't matter whether they married or not, let alone if it wasn't the person they loved.
I don't understand why the ancients thought like this. Don't they understand that some things can't be forced? I saw Tang Moyang waiting for my reply while the uncle and Dazhu who were rowing the boat looked at me.
"Hehe, Young Master Tang, everyone thinks differently. I think I'm still young now, so there's no hurry. Moreover, I really haven't thought about getting married.”I said my thoughts directly.
Tang Moyang and Uncle's shocked expressions were within expectations, but Dazhu wasn't that surprised. I think he thought I was just giving Tang Moyang a perfunctory answer. But I'm not. I really think so.
"Miss Smith, you're indeed thinking differently from other women.”Tang Moyang stared at me for a while before saying this. I smiled at him." Young Master Tang, it's not that I think differently. It's just that you haven't met someone yet. You will meet someone you truly love."”
My words were silent. I continued to close my eyes and listen to the sounds of nature. Tang Moyang also tried to close his eyes and listen. Uncle also continued to row the boat quietly.
