Xu Lanzhou smiled and said, "Brother Zhao went to the private school to tell me about it at noon today. I also asked the teacher for a few days off. We will prepare for the day tomorrow and leave for the provincial capital the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Wu told Qin that he would take Ma Zi with him when he went to the provincial capital. When the time came, he would let Ma Zi fly back. Qin would take the thing off its legs, let it rest for a while, and then let it fly away to see if it could find Zhao Wu again.

Zhao Wu has been training Ma Zi with all his might to make it easier to deliver letters.

When the old man and his wife Xu arrived, they heard that they were going to take Xu Lanting to the provincial capital for medical treatment and that a doctor had already been found who had worked as an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. They were very happy.

Xu Lanzhou then asked Old Man Xu to help look after the fields. Old Man Xu nodded repeatedly. Every time he saw such a large piece of land, he was very excited. It belonged to his family. Even if his grandson didn't ask him to, he would take the initiative to help look after it.

Old Lady Xu got up and went to the kitchen. She quietly slipped a small silver ingot into Xu Lanyin's pocket and said, "This is the money grandma gave to Ting to supplement his medical expenses. It's expensive to see an imperial physician."

Xu Lanyin returned the silver to her and said with a smile, "The money for my brother's medical treatment is ready. It's enough."

After dinner, Zhao Wu told Xu Lanyin that he would go to Daxiang Temple to visit Jie Chi tomorrow, and asked Xu Lanyin to get up early to make some golden silk cake to bring back.

Xu Lanyin said, "It's so late, there's no place to buy milk."

Zhao Wu felt a little nervous thinking about that heavy slap and asked, "Sister, can you make another delicious vegetarian snack or food? My master will beat people when he is unhappy."

Xu Lanyin also didn't want Zhao Wu to get beaten, so she looked at the ingredients in the kitchen. There were some that could be made into vegetarian food, but they might not satisfy the picky monk Jie Chi.

Seeing Xu Lan was in a dilemma, Zhao Wu said, "If you really can't do it, just make some meat buns. My master will definitely like them."

Xu Lanyin said hurriedly, "That's not good. That thing is easy to be discovered. If your master is punished, it will be our fault."

Thinking of the dates at home, he said, "I've got an idea for a vegetarian dish. Let's make sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice dates. They're incredibly fragrant, and your master will probably like them. Besides, this snack won't taste good with any meat or anything else, and he won't bother us with adding any other ingredients."

Although she also learned this snack in modern times, it does not have a strong modern flavor. Even if Jie Chi is really a modern person, she would not be guessed that she must be modern based on this snack.

After Xu Lanyin finished washing the dishes, she and Qin packed their belongings. Besides some clothes and daily necessities, they also packed a gift for Hu Wan's marriage—a multicolored porcelain tea set purchased in the county town. The cost of over twenty taels of silver was a painful thought for Xu Lanzhou.

I also brought along the "Funny Picture of Flower Bear" embroidered by Qin, hoping to sell it for a good price in the provincial capital.

Qin asked, "Would you like to take the rare medicine you collected?"

Xu Lanyin shook her head and said, "No. Grandpa Zhang said that only the big pharmacy in Beijing might know about it, so it's best to take it to Beijing to sell. Otherwise, it won't be able to be sold there, and it's easy to lose or damage it."

The next day, Xu Lanyin got up at dawn to make some snacks, and Zhao Wu came to help. They made golden silk cake with eggs and sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice dates. Since there were no fresh sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, they used sweet-scented osmanthus jam.

After making the snacks, Zhao Wu hurried to Daxiang Temple after breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Lanyin went to the county town. She wanted to go to Hu's house first to ask for Hu Wan's specific address, and then go to the car dealership to rent a car.

When Hu Yi heard that Xu Lanyin was going to Jinzhou Prefecture, his eyes immediately lit up with joy and he said, "I miss my brother. I want to go with you to the provincial capital to see him."

Mrs. Hu agreed very readily. She had heard that the people from Xijinbo Mansion had gone to the Hong family again, and she was afraid that Hu Yi would be upset and have another attack if she knew about it.

She smiled at Xu Lanyin and said, "Yier, go if you want. I'm relieved to have you looking after her. Let her stay in the provincial capital for a while. When Wan'er gets married, we will also go to the provincial capital and come back together then." She added, "You don't have to go to the car dealership to rent a car. My family will send two mule carts to take you there. You can stay at my house in the provincial capital. Wan'er bought a house there. It's big and has an empty yard."

Hu Yi pulled Mrs. Hu's clothes and said coquettishly, "Sister Xu wants to live in the same yard with me."

"Okay." Mrs. Hu smiled. She liked Hu Yineng to spend more time with Xu Lanyin.

This is certainly the best.

Xu Lanyin had lunch at Hu's house, then went to the shop to give instructions to Xu Dashi and his wife before returning to the village.

When Qin heard that the Hu family would send a mule cart to take them to Ningzhou Prefecture and that they would stay at the Hu family's house there, she felt even more relieved.

In the evening, the old couple and the eldest wife's family were invited to dinner. The old lady was worried that Qin was alone at home, so she said she would come and stay with Qin.

Old Man Xu also readily agreed. The old lady came to accompany Qin sincerely, but Old Man Xu was afraid that Qin would have other thoughts, so he asked the old lady to monitor her.

Zhao Wu came back early today and arrived home at the beginning of the Xu period.

Qin hadn't rested yet, the children leaning against her and talking to her. She was extremely reluctant to leave, constantly admonishing them about the important matters. Since giving birth to the children, they had never been apart.

Xu Lanyin heard the noise in the west wing and said that she wanted to discuss leaving tomorrow with Zhao Wu, so she took the key and went to the west wing.

Seeing Zhao Wu grinning at her, Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "It seems that your master didn't beat you or make things difficult for you."

Zhao Wu smiled and said, "My master said that my three-legged skills have reached 60%, and ordinary masters can't beat me."

Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have made great progress again. That bowl of blood is still useful."

Zhao Wu took out another rosary and said, "This rosary was given to you by my master. He said it was blessed by his master in his early years and can strengthen the body. He also said that the sweet dates were the first time he had eaten a snack that was perfect without adding anything else. Before, no matter what snack it was, he had to add this and that to make it perfect. He was too superficial. He asked me to give him more in the future."

Xu Lanyin hadn't expected Jie Chi to have such a unique understanding of dim sum, and even gave her a gift. The bracelet had a light fruity fragrance, a brown with a hint of green, and ripples. It was beautiful, extremely smooth and delicate. Even if she didn't know the value of the item, she knew it was something special.

Moreover, from what he said, it seemed that this was Jie Chi's first time eating glutinous rice dates, and it didn't seem like he had traveled from modern times.

If that's the case, I should find a chance to meet him and see if he knows what diseases blackroot can cure.

Xu Lanyin smiled with her eyes curved and said, "It's really rare. I'll go with you to meet him later."

Zhao Wu also looked confused. "Yeah, to the point where I'm a little uncomfortable. I've come into contact with him so many times, and only today didn't I get beaten."

Poor child, he's not used to being beaten.

At the beginning of the next day at noon, two mule carts from the Hu family arrived.

Xu Lanyin got on the first car, while Hu Yi and the girl Meng'er sat there. Zhao Wu, Xu Lanzhou, and Xu Lanting took the next car, and their belongings and embroidery were also placed in this car.
