Returnee in Jianghu - C19
Lai Laiyun has been very careful these days.
After Jiang Youyu had left, she told him that he had to clean up the 3 river escort office. Otherwise, she would ask him to bring him back to the mansion.
Fortunately, Lai Lai was a horse breeder, so Jiang Youzi’s request wasn’t too difficult for him.
However, the grass that had been mown for three days still hurt her back and waist.
Since it was dark, it was unlikely that even Old Gu and Yu would be able to return to the escort office. Ma Laiyun had moved a small table to rest in the courtyard of the escort office.
“I reckon that when Young Master comes back, you must praise me. Compared to that Old Man Gu, I, Ma Lai, am much more reliable.” Ma Laiyun looked at the clean courtyard and then looked at the small courtyard with its doors half-closed. Ma Laiyun’s face revealed a hint of satisfaction.
He still had some ability to deal with matters, but he didn’t have the ability to do so in the Prince’s Mansion. This, once he got to the Three Rivers Escort Office, which one of these things wasn’t done beautifully for Young Master Jiang?
Three River Escorts’ courtyard wasn’t small. The entrance of the Three River Escorts’ Office was a three-way compound, and the sides of the office also had small courtyards connected to the Escort Office. Jiang You Yu took over the compound of the escort company, so naturally, there was no one living in the small courtyards on both sides of the escort company. At this point, when River Fish was worrying about his livelihood, he decided to sell the two sides of the small courtyard. In any case, there was no one who would live in the small courtyard.
However, the location of the Three River Escort Office was quite remote. Jiang Youyu had asked his horse to bring him around and post a notice everywhere. In the end, no one came to ask for a price even after Jiang Youyu left Qingzhou. Initially, Ma Laiyun didn’t have much hope for the small courtyards on both sides of the road. Not only was he far from making trouble, the courtyard was next to the notorious Sanjiang Escort Office. Just as Laiyun was about to withdraw the announcements, a woman found Laiyun and looked around. She actually decided to rent this small courtyard.
There was no reason for Ma Laiyun to not agree. He immediately took the room deed from Jiang You’s fish house and disposed of the small courtyard with a flip of his hand.
Therefore, Malay was very proud of himself. After all, this courtyard was sold by him. Although this amount of money was a little small, according to what Jiang Youzi said, mosquitoes were still considered as meat. If he were to help Jiang You Yu earn money like this, then his position would rise dramatically.
To be honest, Ma Laiyun was envious of Old Gu’s leisurely days of eating and drinking with Jiang Youyu all day long.
“Butler Ma, I think there’s some open space in the courtyard. Why don’t we plant some flower transforming grass for me?” It was when Ma Laiyun was daydreaming about his beautiful life in the future that a polite voice interrupted Ma Laiyun’s daydreams.
An old nanny pushed open the small door next to the courtyard wall, looked at the empty space on both sides of the path, and said to Ma Laiyun, “Our courtyard is still a little small, but it’s more than enough for our young miss to live in. However, there’s not enough space to take care of the garden.”
The old mama explained that her young lady had a habit of raising flowers and grass, and since the open space in this corner of the courtyard was of no use, she decided to find a horse to discuss it.
“It’s fine. If you want to plant it, then plant it. This used to be a vegetable garden as well.” Lai Laiyun didn’t care about the small empty space in the corner. The yard of the Three River Escort Office was huge, so there was no point in having this empty space. It would be better to do him a favor. After all, this house of young ladies was also extremely beautiful, so it was necessary to leave a good impression. If their family’s young master was looking at someone else, then that was the reason.
“In that case, thank you, Manager Ma.” The old nanny thanked the horse and shut the door.
At the same time, the little red horse powerlessly dragged itself towards the entrance of the Three River Escort Office. It slowly approached the entrance of the Escort Office. Without waiting for the little red horse to reach the entrance, Laiyun, who was in the yard, quickly ran out and eagerly helped Old Gu lead the little red horse. Old Gu was still a popular person in front of Young Master, so it wasn’t wrong for him to lower his stance.
Old Gu got out of the carriage and shouted, “Go to the ground.” Jiang Youyu quickly slipped out of the carriage. Meanwhile, the expression of Si Xueyi, who had alighted from the carriage after Jiang Youyu, was clearly not good.
“I say, Xue Yi, don’t think that it’s too little. Although you put more effort into it, you can’t completely deny my contribution.” “As a person, don’t put so much money on the table. I’ll give you some more meaning, this is already showing my intentions. Tell me, what else do you want me to do?” Jiang You Yu earnestly advised Si Xue Yi. The moment he got on the carriage, he was staring at the gold notes in his pocket. You said that he, Jiang Youyu, was not a stingy person. Naturally, he would give a portion of the money to Si Xueyi. It’s not like he was going to take all the money into his own pocket.
Unexpectedly, Si Xueyi seemed to be very unhappy. Helpless, Jiang Youyu could only give Si Xueyi a nice chat.
“Alright, I know what you want to say. Don’t thank me for my magnanimity, you deserve your share. “Come, Steward Ma, arrange a place to stay for us brothers. From now on, just treat it as family.” Seeing that Si Xue Yi wanted to open her mouth a few times, Jiang Youyu patted her shoulder while walking. She didn’t forget that the horse was arranged for her to stay.
Ma Laiyun acknowledged and respectfully called Young Master Si before running into the yard. It seemed like she had cleaned up the room for Si Xueyi.
After that, she looked at Jiang Youyu, who was quickly pulling away from her with a bitter smile and shook her head, “Could it be that my worldview has collapsed? Why do I feel like I should thank this Jiang Youyu even if I were to split the money?”
Sixue Yi opened the palm that she had been holding all this time. The pieces of silver in the palm of her hand were the pieces of silver that Jiang You Yu had given her. Compared to the gold notes that Jiang You Yu had placed in his pocket, these pieces of silver looked very pale. Shaking his head, he comforted himself. He was his savior after all, he couldn’t care less about these things.
Maybe it was due to her comforting herself, but thinking like this, she could only accept the small amount of silver that was given to her.

The Three Rivers Escort Office in the early morning appeared somewhat quiet.
Si Xue Yi used water to water the sword’s body. Then, she used her hand to gently wipe the entire sword’s body with a cloth. Only then did she slowly retract her sword.
“Not bad, your swordsmanship is already exceptional when compared to the Earth Grade. Every time you attack, it would be accompanied by your momentum. However, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but although your sword has some power, it’s lacking a bit of agility in this attack, so every time you think about retracting your sword, it’s not natural. ” Jiang Youyu saw that Si Xueyi was holding her sword lightly and standing on her own, her white clothes gave her quite the demeanor. Jiang Youyu could not bear to see this any longer. Training with the sword was training with the sword, so this casual act of being handsome was just making him unhappy.
As such, in order to suppress Si Xue Yi’s limelight, Jiang You Yu pretended to be an expert and gave her pointers.
“In a battle between experts, the worst thing to fear is that both sides will use each other’s flaws to their advantage. If you cannot overcome your heavy bearing, then your Sword Truth cultivation can only stop at this level. ” Jiang You Yu stood up and looked at the side of the courtyard with his hands held behind his back. He glanced at the constantly changing face of Si Xue Yi who was standing not far from him, and forced a smile on his face.
“You should know that the path of swords, using the sword, knows the sword. There is a sword in the heart, and there is no sword in the hand. Your sword does indeed have the power of the sword, but in a sword that does have the power of the sword, it’s still an inanimate object. Jiang Youyu’s voice sounded serene as she glanced at Si Xueyi, who was listening to her nonsense. Jiang Youyu’s heart was filled with pride.
“Go ponder on the sword intent. If you don’t stick to your moves, then why not have a sword in your hand?” After Jiang Youyu finished his speech, he praised himself in his heart before looking at Si Xueyi who left with a contemplative expression on her face. The mysterious smile on his face gradually changed into a complacent smile. However, this smile did not last for long. With a creak, a familiar figure appeared in Jiang Youyu’s line of sight.
Did he run into a ghost? Jiang Youyu rubbed her eyes as she stared at the women pushing in front of her with a face filled with astonishment.
“Why are you here?” Jiang Youyu took a few quick steps forward as her entire body appeared to be blocking Mo Qing’s path. Her face was filled with a dangerous aura as she stared at Mo Qing’s equally astonished expression.
“Let me tell you, it’s impossible between us. I have a fiancée, so just give up on that heart of yours.” Jiang Youyu, who was pasted with ink, seemed to understand something. She then shook her head, revealing a side face that she thought was very handsome.
Mo Qing was even more stunned. She never expected to meet Jiang Youyu in Qingzhou City. When they saw Jiang You and Yu Di once again, they couldn’t understand what Jiang You was saying.
“I’m sorry, what does Young Hero mean by this?” Mo Qing pulled the distance between him and Jiang You Yu, and then carefully considered the chill in their words. Instantly, their complexions turned ugly.
Wasn’t this person too narcissistic? She had only met him twice. Although she was saved by Jiang You Yu the first time at the inn, she wasn’t grateful enough because she wanted to repay the debt of saving her life with her own body.
“Mo Qing and the young hero have a gracious relationship, but the young hero cannot use a favor to humiliate someone like this.” Mo Qing stared coldly at Jiang You Yu, this caused Jiang You Yu, who always felt good about himself, to feel embarrassed.
He, Jiang Youyu, was indeed a bit narcissistic, but he was still somewhat aware of his narcissism. What he had said was indeed a bit too much, and some of the words were just too indiscriminate. Chuckling awkwardly, he looked at Mo Qing and apologetically said, “My apologies, it is I, Meng Lang. However, why would the young lady appear here? ”
Jiang Youyu was doubtful, but the identity of the woman in front of him was definitely not simple. To be able to see such an extraordinary woman appear once again in his territory at the Sanjiang Escort Office, this made him feel suspicious.
He didn’t want to have a girl of unknown origins by his side. Moreover, this girl might have to cause trouble for him from time to time. Looking at the criminals in the four inns, it was obvious that this woman had offended a powerful force. She had no choice but to make Jiang Youyu be cautious. This woman was indeed beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn’t be treated as a meal. She even wanted him to bear the risk of being silenced from time to time.
“They were preparing to stay in the Azure Province for a short period of time. Seeing that the notice that was posted in the residence was for sale, they conveniently bought it.” Mo Qing saw the apprehension in Jiang Youyu’s eyes and pointed to the yard behind her, explaining it to her.
The woman mentioned it. Jiang Youyu did indeed recall that he had told Ma Lai to buy the courtyards on both sides of the Three River Escort Office for money. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but pat his head. He sighed in his heart.
“Open the door. Open the door.” Jiang Youyu had decided to ask Ma Lai Yun about this, so she didn’t want the transaction procedures in the small courtyard to be completed.
Laiyun rubbed his eyes and opened the door shakily. Then, he saw Jiang Youyu rushing into the room, so he hurriedly asked her about it.
“Morning, early my ass.” That small courtyard was sold by you? ”
“I’ve sold it. Young Master, it’s not that I, Old Ma, have taken credit for this. If it wasn’t for my good words, we would have lost quite a bit of money.” Young Master, wait a moment. You rested early last night, so I don’t have time to send you the money from selling the courtyard. ” When Old Ma heard Jiang You Yu mention this, his originally muddleheaded mind instantly became clear-headed. He was already prepared to be praised by Jiang You Yu ruthlessly, and then he crawled onto the bed and rolled over his bed. Only then did he take out a money bag that was smelly with sweat and hand it over Jiang You Yu with a smile.
“Young Master, this score isn’t small. It’s all here. For fear that someone might steal it in the middle of the night, I, Old Ma, haven’t closed my eyes in the middle of the night. Old Ma took the credit. However, he didn’t seem very happy as he glanced at Jiang Youyu, who had received the money bag. Old Ma thought for a while. Could it be that he sold the price for too little?
“Young Master, there’s nothing we can do about it. This is the market price here, and the house is eccentric. Selling it would be burning incense.” Furthermore, based on what Young Master said, no matter how small it is, it’s still meat. ” Old Gu was still lost in thought, he didn’t forget to make use of Jiang Youyu’s words to explain the situation.
Jiang Youyu resisted the urge to kill Ma Lai in her heart, tightly holding onto the silver bag. Can you bring this courtyard back? ”
“Aunt… Young Master, what do you mean by that? ” Luck of the Horse couldn’t figure it out. He already had the money, how could he find someone to take it back?
