Chapter Seven, Reunion
With a thud, I fainted, lost in my thoughts and not paying attention, tripped over something and was about to have a close encounter with the ground. Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around my waist, and in the next moment, I crashed into someone's embrace. A scent of hidden incense enveloped me as my face buried in the person's robe. When I felt steady, I quickly broke free, rubbed my delicate nose, feeling dizzy. Looking up, I met a pair of eyes that seemed to be a mix of blue and green.

I know I should perhaps refuse, but my intuition tells me that this person is harmless, so I smiled and nodded.
It is you! I exclaimed in astonishment, pointing at him, "Gele!"
"What’s wrong, that man doesn’t care about you? You have to..." Ge Le stopped, turned around, and stared at me, asking.
It is difficult to find a solution that satisfies both sides
Running wildly, in the words of the little swallow, it is a feeling of immense joy. For some reason, a phrase comes to mind: I truly hope this road has no end, so that I can continue to run wildly like this, with great exhilaration.
However, I had not run far when I felt a tightness around my waist. Goodness, he leaped up and actually shared the ride with me.
Since my last outing, I have felt that in this extravagant and luxurious era of the Tang Dynasty, it seems rather unlikely to make a living and earn money through operating a physical business. The restaurants here,
"No, but it won't throw me off. I was just petting it, trying to be friendly. Horses are perceptive creatures; they won't throw me off!"
Then I rode on this beautiful tall horse, letting Ge Le lead me forward. After a brief moment of dizziness, I suddenly said: "My home is in ... ... "
The incident last time caused Lingling and Yuner to be punished, and I felt very guilty about it. Therefore, this time I did not tell anyone when I went out. I simply changed into a plain outfit and quietly slipped out through the back corner door, calling for a carriage to head straight to the East Market
I am not a naive little girl, so I would not foolishly ask him how he knows my address.
The shops, even the brothels, are exquisitely refined and splendidly beautiful. From my perspective and knowledge, along with my meager capital, it is utterly impossible for me to establish a foothold. Therefore, I must excel in the realm of the virtual, and upon careful consideration, an idea began to form in my mind
Looking into Gerenna's steady gaze, I did not hesitate and blurted out: "I want to make a living, how can I earn money to support myself!"
Haha! Ge Le laughed heartily, "Miss Shen, where are you going?"
At that moment, I noticed a beautiful girl in Hu clothing following Ge Le. The girl was leading a black steed, but in the next second, I was invited onto the horse by a pair of large hands. Ge Le glanced at the girl in Hu clothing and said, "Tana, you go back first. I will escort Miss Shen."
Li Yu has not come since that day
I saw Ge Le's bright eyes fixed on me, and I could even see my own reflection flickering in his pupils. How amusing! Perhaps he has a slight fondness for me, but what about me? I shook my head vigorously; such thoughts are not good. So, I squeezed the horse's belly with my legs, and the steed neighed, breaking free from the reins and charging forward. Never mind, just charge ahead! Do I not know how to ride? After all, I practiced on the Kangxi Prairie. Hehe. I shook my head vigorously; such thoughts are not good.

After all, I practiced on the Kangxi Prairie. Hehe.
How should I put it? Watching the horse impatiently shake its head, I gently stroked its mane, thought for a moment, and finally said firmly: "Ge Le, thank you for saving me last time when I was in trouble. Offering help in times of need is the act of a true gentleman. I do not know how much you are aware of my situation, nor do I know how to express it to you. In any case, although I am a weak woman, I still wish to exist in this world with integrity and dignity!"
I know! Gerle interrupted me
What were you just thinking about, so engrossed? I waved at you, but you didn't see me
However, the various provisions in this garden have indeed improved significantly compared to a few days ago, yet the reliance on others and the precariousness of a life dependent on a man's whims still leave me feeling unsettled. One must have a source of income to feel secure
Having glanced at the darkening sky, I hurriedly said: "I must return!"
Ge Le looked at me with a profound expression: "Are you going home? I will give you a ride"
Haha, you are right
The carriage stopped in front of the largest teahouse in the East Market. After getting off the carriage, I strolled inside. "Miss, how many people?" the tea master greeted warmly.
He immediately clasped his fists again and performed a deep bow, saying, "One must not impose mundane etiquette upon heroes"
I saw Ge Le frown slightly, and my heart tightened. Alas, I forgot; I should have performed the greeting of ten thousand blessings. Sigh, how foolish of me
Throughout the journey, I kept pondering how to accomplish this matter without revealing my identity
Hehe, "I couldn't help but smile, " this time it was unintentional, thank you, last time I was really grateful to you!" I clasped my fists in salute.
A seat. The Tang Dynasty is characterized by its simple and natural customs, where even strangers meeting for the first time do not exhibit the slightest awkwardness. I chose a window seat on the second floor, ordered a pot of green tea, and watched the people coming and going outside. The East Market is primarily residential, unlike the West Market, which is bustling with merchants. The people on the street do not appear hurried; they are all quite leisurely and content. After two hours, this largest teahouse had only seen about twenty to thirty patrons, seated in groups of three or four, totaling around ten tables.

After two hours, this largest teahouse had only seen about twenty to thirty patrons, seated in groups of three or four, totaling around ten tables. Most tables had a pot of tea and a few plates of fruit. I mentally calculated the daily revenue of this teahouse and had a clear understanding of it. Upon further examination of the shop's furnishings and layout, the lighting was excellent, the shop area was quite spacious, and the staff were alert and clever. Good, I had made some preliminary plans in my mind, and my mood brightened. I then paid the bill and walked out of the shop.

"Can you ride a horse?" He was somewhat taken aback
It is I, Miss Shen. Do you encounter trouble every time you go out?
