Not easy.

After Tong Xinyao finished speaking and chattering, Sun Chaoyue got the money from the other party.

In fact, she also knew that Tong Xinyao did it on purpose.

He was deliberately humiliating her.

Because she is more beautiful, standing together, she always attracts more people than Tong.

Also because of her better talent, she reached the fourth level at the age of twenty-two. Even though she was delayed now, she is still better than Tong.

So Tong Xinyao has always been jealous of her and disliked her. Whenever she was outside, she always tried her best to find opportunities to show that she was better than herself.

but....

Sun Chaoyue stopped her thoughts and her eyes became slightly sad.

After taking the money, she turned around and went to find the hawker.

But suddenly I felt like someone was looking at me.

Following her feeling, she turned around and looked into the eyes of Zhang Rongfang who was sitting in the sedan chair.

Almost instantly, Sun Chaoyue recognized Zhang Rongfang.

Back in Tan Yang, there were rumors that Zhang Rongfang and the super fat Wanyan Lu were together.

That was something she had seen with her own eyes.

She saw Zhang Ying get on the carriage on Wanyan Road with her own eyes.

So she was deeply impressed by this person.

I just didn't expect it...

I didn't expect to meet you again here.

‘Why is he in Citong?? No... I must have misjudged him, maybe he is someone who looks very similar.’

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Chaoyue didn't worry about it anymore. That Zhang Ying was just an ordinary local official in Tan Yang.

Why did he come all the way to Citong, and the sedan he was sitting in was also a soft satin sedan that only the dignitaries here were qualified to ride.

Not to mention the fox-skin mats spread on top, but the two people carrying the sedan below were both muscular and strong, and at first glance, they were warriors with considerable strength.

Using military men to carry the sedan chair was not something that only powerful and important people could do in a place like this.

Looking back, she walked to the vendor, asked about the price, and ordered five bottles of watermelon juice.

The watermelon juice is packed in a simple palm-length brown porcelain bottle, which is well decorated and tied with red thread on the outside, so it can be carried by hand.

"A total of one hundred and fifty coins, girl." The vendor smiled and quoted the price.

"Give."

Carrying five bottles.

She paid the money, received the change, and turned to leave.

But there was a sudden pause.

"Sun Chaoyue?"

A deep male voice sounded from one side.

She stopped and looked sideways.

It's Zhang Rongfang.

He didn't know when he got off the sedan, walked closer, and looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"Are you...Tan Yang, Sun Chaoyue, President Sun?"

He called her the president because Zhang Rongfang only remembered that Sun Chaoyue founded the Yaoyuan Book Club, and he also participated in the activities held by the book club at that time.

So the memory is still fresh.

President?

It's been a long, long time since anyone called her that.

Countless thoughts were running through Sun Chaoyue's mind. She thought about pretending not to know him, pretending that she was not Sun Chaoyue.

But since the other party recognizes her, it means that this person is really Zhang Ying from the past!

Zhang Ying??

She looked carefully at this big guy who was much taller than herself. When he came to Wanyan Road, he left a deep impression on many people.

But now it seems that this guy is doing well?

How could Tan Yang, a junior official, end up in a big city like Citong and act like a high-ranking official?

Could it be that there is some unknown background behind this Zhang Ying!?

Countless doubts flashed through Sun Chaoyue's heart one by one.

But what does this have to do with her?

Also, he doesn't seem to know his situation...it doesn't matter, just deal with it...

Sun Chaoyue tried her best to steady herself, her expression calm.

"Are you Zhang Ying who was with Wanyan Lu? I remember you."

Unconsciously, she faintly returned to her previous noble appearance. Even though her clothes were far inferior to those before, that kind of temperament was not something that ordinary people could fake.

In front of her old friend, she didn't want to lose her original self, her last self-esteem.

"Yes, at that time I helped Wanyanlu lose weight in Tan Yang. I was misunderstood by many people." Zhang Rongfang smiled, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know how Li Huoyun, Wanyanlu and the others are doing now.

"

"Yes, I haven't been back for some time." Sun Chaoyue nodded.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, so they chatted casually for a few words. Zhang Rongfang asked about the situation. He didn't remember much about Tan Yang's situation.

I just remember that the Sun family seems to be spiritual nobles.

Now that I met him, I casually asked Li Huoyun about the situation of the Li family and Wanyan Road.

Sun Chaoyue simply dealt with it.

Zhang Rong also left conveniently, returned to the sedan chair, and left slowly with Isibas.

Watching the sedan slowly leave, Sun Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

If I continue to ask, the secret may be exposed.

She didn't want her embarrassment to be seen by her former self, let alone someone she didn't like very much.

People who were far inferior to me in the past, now... seem to have surpassed my imagination. They are standing at a very high height...

Although Zhang Rongfang explained just now that he and Wanyan Lu were misunderstood.

But...even so, at the beginning, he was just a small official who took office after Tan Yangcai.

At that time, she was the eldest lady in Tan Yang. She came from a wealthy family and was expected to reach the ninth rank in the future.

Unfortunately...nothing is permanent.

Sun Chaoyue relaxed in her heart and was glad that she finally dealt with it.

But she didn't expect that Tong Xinyao, not far away, had already seen the scene just now.

There was a hint of strange color under his eyes.

At the invitation of Isibas, Zhang Rongfang had dinner with him and then watched the latest dramas: Beautiful Oak Forest, Storm at Sea, Zhao Laosan Selling Donkeys, etc.

Zhang Rongfang spoke highly of these overseas-style dramas, which made Isibas very happy.

The two had a heated discussion about the development of Zaju.

In fact, in Zhang Rongfang's opinion, isn't this drama just a simplified version of a TV series?

For a TV drama lover who has binge-watched many dramas before, just talking about the plot is a routine that no one in this world has ever thought of.

It is naturally easy to seduce Isibas as a confidant.

It's almost getting late.

After Zhang Rongfang said goodbye seriously, he left the mansion and returned to Chenxiang Temple in a soft sedan.

Along the way, he was also thinking about future arrangements.

In the conversation with Isibas, Zhang Rongfang already understood that finding the main medicine of the Golden Toad Gong in the daily stage may not be possible in a short time.

Therefore, he could only go with the original plan first.
