Chapter 305: Look at Who I Am

Jiang Jinshi was very surprised. He didn't expect to run into Jiang Daya here, the person he once rescued and gave ten taels of silver to, who had actually come to Jiangnan.

Jiang Daya's attention wasn't on Jiang Jinshi, or perhaps she didn't recognize him. After all, Jiang Jinshi's changes over the past year were still quite large.

He himself had fused with the soul of the Overlord, so his body wasn't as thin and weak as before, and he was wearing brocade, completely without the image of a gambler who lost his family fortune. It was understandable that the other party didn't recognize him.

Lou Qi's arrogant expression stiffened for a moment, then he was somewhat dissatisfied: "Jiang... Miss, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

Jiang Daya stepped forward, clearly different from the Jiangnan girls, carrying a fierce energy: "I gave you face. The matter between the two of us hasn't been settled properly yet! Just right to settle it today?"

"Treasure?" Lou Qi pulled his neck, but without the previous arrogance, clearly somewhat afraid of Jiang Daya.

Clearly, Huang Yan, Han Xiao, and others didn't understand what the situation was at the moment. Jiang Jinshi's muttering just now was heard by them because they were close. So, this person was still big brother's acquaintance?

"Treasure?" Jiang Daya sneered, rolling up her sleeves without any image, "A piece of broken inkstone with color on it dares to ask for fifty taels. In Old Man Li's shop in the north of Jiangnan City, they are piled up until they are almost moldy. Do you really think I don't know your background?"

Jiang Daya snatched the inkstone, and her fingertips wiped the bottom of the inkstone, revealing an inconspicuous scratch.

She sneered, just knocked the inkstone against the stone steps beside her—with a crisp sound of "bang", a corner of the inkstone fell off, revealing the gray-white blank inside.

"Daring to pass off as a Duan inkstone after putting a layer of glaze on it?" She spat, purely the fierce and tough style of a Beijiang woman scolding the street, "The colors inside and outside are different, and you still call it a treasure? I'm afraid that the broken opening was made by you in advance, just to blackmail people!"

Lou Qi's face turned pale, and there was already an uproar around.

The commoners were still puzzled. Why did this Young Master Lou like to carry treasures on the street every time, not being broken by merchants or bumped by servants? It turned out that this person was so black-hearted.

"Huang Yan." Jiang Jinshi opened his mouth, his voice steady, "Give him one tael of silver."

"Big brother?!" Huang Yan didn't understand.

Jiang Jinshi looked at Lou Qi: "Repairing the color doesn't cost that much. If you want it, take the silver and roll. If you don't want it, then we'll see who's better with our hands!"

The voice was very calm, but Lou Qi understood the threat in it. Thinking that his dirty deeds were exposed, it was even more impossible to see the official, so Lou Qi could only agree.

"One tael is one tael!"

The commoners' disdainful voices kept coming: "He really wants it!"

"Really losing the face of our Jiangnan!"

"Hetui! This scum, I actually thought this was real before and helped him speak once."

Huang Yan didn't say anything more, took out a tael of silver and threw it at Lou Qi.

Lou Qi caught the silver, heard the commoners' words, and blushed. After leaving a harsh word, he left the place in a panic.

"Jiang Qingyan, I'll remember this!"

"Humph!" Jiang Daya was disdainful, then thought of the things she had to do when she came out, and prepared to leave.

"Sister, are you leaving without even saying hello?" Jiang Jinshi was helpless. He didn't expect Jiang Daya really didn't recognize him.

Jiang Daya turned around and waved her hand heroically: "It doesn't matter! I just can't stand that guy bullying our Beijiang people. I was also blackmailed by him when I first came."

Jiang Jinshi sighed, pointed his finger at himself, "Look carefully, who am I?"

Jiang Daya then carefully observed Jiang Jinshi's appearance, gradually merging with a certain face in her memory.

"You..." Her lips moved, and the Beijiang accent couldn't be suppressed, "Are you Xiao Shi?"

Huang Yan and Han Xiao looked at each other and silently retreated a few steps.

There weren't many people in Beijiang who could call big brother "Xiao Shi". It seemed they were really acquaintances, and not ordinary ones!

Jiang Jinshi smiled: "I didn't expect you to really come to Jiangnan. It wasn't easy on the road, right?"

"Jiang Jinshi..." Jiang Qingyan finally called out the name, her eyes red, and then forced them back, punching his shoulder, "Wearing this human-like and dog-like outfit, I almost didn't recognize you!"

"You are easy to recognize." Jiang Jinshi's gaze swept over her washed-white clothes, the cuffs neatly rolled up, only the calluses on her hands were fewer.

Jiang Qingyan sniffed and looked him up and down: "Wearing so brightly, made a fortune doing business?"

"Well, doing some business." Jiang Jinshi was curious about Lou Qi's words when he left, "What about you? The name Jiang Daya..."

"Changed! Now I'm called Jiang Qingyan." She wiped her face and became that fierce look again, but her voice lowered, "The 'Qing' of pure, the 'Yan' of the river being clear and the sea being calm. Even the young lady said this name is bright."

"Jiang Qingyan." Jiang Jinshi read it once, "Good name."

"Since you made money doing business, don't gamble anymore!" Jiang Qingyan looked at Jiang Jinshi, and as she looked, she laughed out loud. This was for Jiang Jinshi's happiness.

"Not gambling anymore." Jiang Jinshi's voice was very light, "Long stopped gambling."

Huang Yan and Han Xiao listened in confusion, but didn't dare to let out a breath.

Jiang Qingyan raised her chin to the tea stall beside her: "I have something to ask you, I'll treat you to tea, don't dislike it for being coarse, just a roadside stall."

The tea was old tea, but Jiang Qingyan drank it calmly, and after one bowl, she looked straight over: "You came to Jiangnan to do business? Or..."

"Seeking someone." Jiang Jinshi didn't hide it from her, but didn't want to say much, because she couldn't help, so don't let her worry.

Jiang Qingyan saw that Jiang Jinshi didn't want to say more, and she didn't pursue this topic.

Jiang Jinshi asked back: "How have you been since you left Beijiang?"

"I really have to thank you for those ten taels of silver, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come to this Jiangnan!" Jiang Qingyan put down the bowl, her eyes filled with memories.

"I caught a caravan at that time, paid two taels of silver to follow them to Jiangnan, and relied entirely on walking on the road. The soles of my shoes were worn out!"

Although Jiang Qingyan said it lightly, Jiang Jinshi could imagine the hard work and hardship involved.

Jiang Qingyan continued: "When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I didn't understand anything, and I was blackmailed by this Lou Qi!"

"How much silver did he cheat you out of?" Jiang Jinshi said in a low voice, clearly somewhat unhappy.

"He took all the money on me. At that time, I just thought that anyway, my life was worthless, so I couldn't be bullied again." Jiang Qingyan laughed out loud, "So I found a stick, squatted outside his house, and chased him for two streets! He was afraid, so he returned the silver to me!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Jinshi felt the bitterness in his mouth, only feeling that the tea became sweet after swallowing it!

"Later, I found work to support myself, doing everything, washing clothes, collecting night incense, carrying bags on the wharf, as long as I could make money!" Jiang Qingyan didn't feel bitter, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
