Chapter 1097 Chapter 1097
From the time the three of them met as strangers to the time they were now engaged in a lively conversation, it had only taken a cup of tea. The more they talked, the more Wen Si felt that this trip was worthwhile. He had heard a little about the mathematics competition, having heard Chun Ge, who was sitting next to Qin Er, mention it several times.
But it all sounded a bit distorted, because the other party was the fifth son of the Xiao family's accountant, and this position was not something that anyone could do by simply pushing it up.
You have to have some ability and real skills.
Song Guanzhou defeated him. Outsiders might have thought he had given up, but those in the know knew immediately that the Pei family's fourth young lady wasn't going to win simply by giving up...
What surprised Wen Si even more was that although she was well-read and knowledgeable, when she talked about many things, Qin Youran was just like an ordinary girl who grew up in a boudoir, and her eyes were blank. Only Song Guanzhou had sharp ears and eyes.
Not only do I know, I can also explain a few things.
"Fourth sister-in-law actually knows all this..." Wen Si told Song Guanzhou about his uncle's escort business. Of course, Song Guanzhou didn't know the details, but after reading so many books and watching TV dramas in modern times, he naturally knew what this business was. He was even more curious, so he asked, "Fourth sister-in-law is also involved in the escort business?"
Wen Linghuan was filled with surprise. "Fourth sister-in-law knows about escorting?"
Is this something that cannot be known?
Song Guanzhou smiled, "I've heard a little bit about it, but escorting an escort is a dangerous endeavor, as you're a wealthy woman, yet you have such courage and vision. I have to admire you."
To be honest, everyone in the Wen family dislikes the fact that Wen Linghuan is doing this with his uncle's family.
Not to mention dislike, as soon as they heard that Wen Linghuan wanted to escort the convoy, they were suppressed and worried. Everyone felt that as a girl in the boudoir, she should do some needlework, learn the three obediences and four virtues, and follow the advice of her parents and elders to find a good marriage with someone of equal social status.
It just so happened that Wen Linghuan grew up with his uncle, and he and several cousins followed his uncle to play with swords, guns, sticks and clubs, and he was quite talented.
He is better at training than his cousins and is also quick-witted, which makes his uncle, the head escort of the largest escort agency in the southwest, love him very much.
He asked the Wen family for it several times.
The old lady of the Wen family looked at her daughter-in-law's brother with a helpless look on her face. "You want my granddaughter to be your daughter-in-law?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Linghuan's uncle smoothed his beard and said, "Aunt, please allow me to report this. The boys I gave birth to are not worthy of my fourth son. This time I want to go and train him to be my successor!"
God!
Wen Si's grandmother was so shocked that she threw a cup of cold tea at him. "What nonsense! Erlang, you scoundrel! Look at my delicate little granddaughter. How can she be a female escort? You are harming her!"
Wen Si's uncle, Xie Guangxiao, quickly stepped forward to appease the old lady, "Aunt, you are also a heroine. Why do you let Si'er be so bound by boudoir matters? With her temperament, it's really a pity that she should marry and take care of the family!"
Grandmother Wen Si was so angry that she almost lost her breath at the second son of her eldest sister-in-law's family, who was also the brother of her daughter-in-law.
"Asshole! If she were a girl, her aunt shouldn't have stopped her!"
She's clearly a beautiful girl...
Wen Si's possibility of becoming the chief escort was stifled, and she was somewhat unwilling to accept it. As she grew older, her grandmother and mother were even more worried that she would become ambitious, so they kept her close to them. This time, when she met the aunt of the Qin family, who was also the second old lady of the Wen family, who was visiting the capital, she simply let her take her to the capital.
"Of course, the Wen family has no second thoughts about what the Qin family's old lady mentioned. But we can't hide our daughter's personality from the old lady. We'll take her there and let the old ladies see her. Whether she succeeds or not is another matter. We just hope that this wild girl's personality can be tamed by the Crown Princess's upbringing."
So, how could anyone understand the profession Wen Ling loves...
Until today, Song Guanzhou's casual words had made Wen Linghuan's heart surge. With a touch of shyness and expectation, she whispered to Song Guanzhou, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's inappropriate for a woman to do this?"
Song Guanzhou was puzzled for a moment, but he replied subconsciously, "How can it be inappropriate? You can make a name for yourself, which is not an ordinary ability."
what……
Wen Linghuan's round almond-shaped eyes were filled with admiration. He swallowed, glanced at Qin Youran, then turned to look at Song Guanzhou. "Fourth sister-in-law, you know, there are almost no women in this escort business. When I'm out, I usually dress as a man and live and eat with the men in my uncle's escort team—"
This is detrimental to one's reputation.
But if Song Guanzhou only listened to these words, then the three views education that she had been shaped with in modern times would become a decoration.
Without hesitation, she blurted out with a smile, "How wonderful! Although it's dangerous, it's your ability to turn danger into safety. Traveling far and wide, enduring wind and rain, how can walking, sitting, and lying down compare to the exquisite comfort of the boudoir? But the world is vast, how can it be compared to the sky as big as the well in the boudoir?"
After hearing this, Wen Linghuan was stunned.
Her eyes suddenly misted over as she stared at Song Guanzhou, muttering to herself, "I knew it. How could the woman Qin Er praised so highly be an ordinary person? How could the daughter of a distinguished university scholar not be so exquisite and refined?"
Song Guanzhou was a little surprised and looked at Qin Youran.
"This child, was he scared by me?"
child……
Wen Si quickly held back his tears and smiled brightly, "Sister-in-law Si is not even two years older than us, yet she calls us children..."
"That scared me. I thought I startled you."
Song Guanzhou realized now that her words had unconsciously brought in modern thinking. Many modern professions no longer distinguished between men and women, and she was accustomed to this kind of consideration, without the inherent reaction of this era: Ah, such a dangerous thing, how could a woman do it?
Wen Linghuan quickly shook his head. "How could Fourth Sister-in-law scare me? It's just that I should have come to visit her earlier..."
I'm glad you didn't scare me.
Song Guanzhou waved his hand. "Good things are never too late. I'm very happy that you two came to see me today."
Song Guanzhou then grabbed Wen Linghuan and asked her about the details of the escort mission. After hearing the beginning, Song Guanzhou suddenly whistled and looked at Wen Linghuan with admiration, "The fourth lady is actually a porter. I'm so sorry."
She clasped her hands together, looking very chivalrous.
Wen Linghuan was overjoyed. "Sister-in-law, you even know about the porter. I'm surprised." Qin Youran frowned, full of doubt. "Fourth sister-in-law, what is a porter?"
Song Guanzhou explained in plain language, "When the Fourth Miss is escorting, she has to cross mountains and rivers, and inevitably enter other people's territory. The safety of the goods is paramount in escorting people all over the world. Therefore, there are always escort masters who lead the way and arrange everything. This is not something that can be done by an ordinary brave man alone. It requires a person who is well-rounded, versatile, and capable of both civil and military affairs."
