Chapter 221: Chapter 221 You Casanova (3)_1

"Don’t be so cold! Look at you now, a tender and innocent little loli! Being so aloof really doesn’t suit your temperament! You... alright, I’ll shut up!" Shen Songming saw her glare daggers at him, covered his own mouth, and just stared at her with his eyes wide open. She’s really changed a lot after crossing over! I heard she used to look like her grandfather in modern times... Even though there were people who wanted to hit on her, they didn’t have the guts. Now, this little look, although not as imposing, is much more pleasant to the eye!

After a while, Pei Qin couldn’t help but hold her forehead again and turned to look at Shen Songming.

Shen Songming looked at her with a pitiful and resentful face. He knew she wouldn’t respond to force, so she must be susceptible to a softer approach!

Pei Qin had a dark expression on her face as she turned around and headed towards the town. She felt an inexplicable anger welling up inside her, twined up without knowing where to release it.

Shen Songming, having never dealt with her, saw her walking away and quickly followed her, asking, "Pei Laoda! Aren’t you going to take me home?"

The two servants watched from afar, looked at each other, and hurriedly followed with the carriage.

Walking quickly to the doorway of her home, Pei Qin took a deep breath, and her expression calmed down.

Shen Songming jogged along with her, "A newly built house, huh? You’re really not doing bad!"

He knew exactly what not to say.

Pei Qin ignored him and called to open the door.

Pei Yuan and Pei Qian were practicing their calligraphy at home. Seeing her return, they asked her when she was going to deliver the zongzi to grandma and auntie’s house, "... Since we’re setting up the stall tomorrow, we can only deliver it in the afternoon."

"We’re not setting up the stall tomorrow, we’re taking a day off," Pei Qin said and poured herself a cup of cool boiled water to drink.

Still so capricious, setting up a stall whenever she felt like it and giving herself a day off whenever she didn’t want to bother. Shen Songming entered with a smile and greeted Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, "Hello, you two!"

Both of them looked at him with puzzled expressions, their inquiring gazes turning toward Pei Qin.

Shen Songming had already started to introduce himself, "I’m Shen Songming from Jinan Prefecture. I’ve seen the skateboards, hand-pulled carts, and pushcarts you’ve made, and I’ve come especially looking for your elder sister to make something!"

After exchanging greetings, Pei Yuan hurried to pour him some tea. After thinking about it, she also took a plate and brought out some pastries.

Shen Songming looked at it and waved his hand to decline, "I heard you were making zongzi just now? Bring me a few to eat, that’ll do! I want beef zongzi, fish zongzi, pork zongzi, and bring me a couple of sweet ones, too!"

Pei Yuan widened her eyes in a ’how did he know’ kind of way.

The zongzi eaten here were usually just wrapped in glutinous rice, boiled, peeled, and then dipped in sugar; this was their first time experimenting with different fillings. Did her elder sister tell him?

Meanwhile, Pei Qian quickly picked out the zongzi he wanted. Judging by his attire, he seemed to be a young master from a wealthy family; maybe he would commission her elder sister to make something and they could earn a sum of silver. They hadn’t had the money to furnish their new home after moving, and her elder sister seemed to have been in low spirits these days.

Shen Songming, enticed by the aroma, took a deep breath and began eating with chopsticks, "These zongzi are really well made! So delicious!"

When his two servants found him, they saw their young master stuffing himself with zongzi in a less than graceful manner.

After finishing a few zongzi, Shen Songming, feeling stuffed, burped contently and instructed the servants, "Bring over that chest I brought!" He then turned to the somewhat irritated Pei Qin, "I’ve brought you some good stuff!"

He had previously inquired that the person making skateboards was a carpenter, so he brought a set of carpentry tools and a handy set of carving knives. He figured Pei Qin wouldn’t need the carpentry tools anymore, but she would definitely find the set of knives useful. There was also a bunch of local delicacies and snacks he had bought along the way, which he took out. Shen Songming invited Pei Qin to look at the ’good stuff’ that filled more than half of the chest underneath.
