Nineteen, as if presenting a treasure, placed the burlap sack in his arms on the desk.

What is this?

Song Yanqing placed the brush on the brush holder and closed the commemorative document he had just written.

In front of Qin Shiyu, Nineteen could still maintain his youthful spirit, but in front of Song Yanqing, he would never dare to act rashly and could only answer honestly.

"This is pork jerky that the head of Kang Le Township asked me to deliver."

Hearing this, Song Yanqing's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and she said casually, "In that case, why don't you set some aside as a snack?"

Nineteen said politely, "Princess Kangle is very generous. Everyone in the army who is on good terms with her has a share, including Doctor Luo, Doctor Huang, myself, Imperial Physician Ren, and Doctor Xiao Ren."

Song Yanqing, who originally thought he was the only one, immediately pursed his lips when he heard that the word "friendship" also included Ren Yuan.

After that, his words were tinged with coldness: "I understand, you may leave."

Nineteen withdrew in response, and after leaving the tent, he was completely puzzled.

He clearly saw the prince smile just now.

Why did your expression change so suddenly?

After the Nineteenth Prince left the tent, Song Yanqing examined the cloth bag full of dried meat for a while before untying the tightly bound cotton rope.

Even before the cloth bag was untied, the aroma of meat wafted into our nostrils; once the rope was untied, the aroma became even stronger.

He took out a piece of pork jerky, put it in his mouth, and tore off a small piece. The sweet jerky was something he was eating for the first time, just like his mood at that moment.

Lu Qiqi had no idea that Song Yanqing could have so many thoughts after eating a piece of dried meat. After delivering the dried meat to Doctor Luo and Doctor Huang, she went to deliver it to Imperial Physician Ren and Ren Yuan.

Song Yanqing had put in a lot of effort by borrowing people, so naturally he received the most dried meat.

Ren Yuan's help in finding farmers and contacting purchasing channels was invaluable, which is why his dried meat was the second largest quantity.

Unfortunately, when she went to deliver dried meat to Physician Ren's tent, she did not run into Ren Yuan. Physician Ren explained that he had gone to the East Gate.

So she handed the dried meat to Physician Ren. In any case, they were father and son, so it didn't matter to her who gave it to him.

After she finished delivering the dried meat to each of them, she was about to return to her tent to get her medicine box for the wounded soldiers' camp when she saw the centurion walking quickly toward her.

"President, please wait a moment."

Lu Qiqi stopped and waited for the centurion to approach.

The centurion cupped his hands in greeting and said, "There is a man outside the camp who claims to be your brother, and he is waiting there."

Second brother?

What is he doing in the military camp?

Considering that Li Changlong wasn't an impetuous person, she figured that his special trip to the military camp to find her must be for something important.

So he said, “Thank you for coming to inform me, Centurion. I will go and see.”

The centurion repeatedly said that the village head was too polite.

After exchanging a few polite words, the two headed towards Yingkou.

Li Changlong waited in Yingkou for a long time, craning his neck and staring intently into the camp.

If there weren't specific reasons, one would suspect he was a turtle in his past life.

Seeing Lu Qiqi come out, Li Changlong tightened his grip on the gift list, suddenly feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Second Brother, what brings you here?"

Lu Qiqi walked to Yingkou and asked.

Li Changlong's gaze darted around, and after a long while, he stammered, "This morning, there were quite a few people waiting outside the courtyard. After the gate opened, they kept sending gifts in, and this is the gift list left by the gift-givers."

After saying that, Li Changlong handed the gift list in his arms to Lu Qiqi.

After taking the list and seeing the gifts on it, Lu Qiqi guessed that her house was probably already piled high with the items on the list.

The gift list not only recorded the gifts sent by each government, but also included an invitation card.

Lu Qiqi had only been in the border town for a short time and was completely unfamiliar with the wives of officials and wealthy merchants. The sudden arrival of a gift left her puzzled.

The invitation cards clearly stated that they were all ladies from various households, inviting her to their homes as a guest.

Lu Qiqi asked, "Did the person who gave the gift say what it was for?"

Li Changlong recalled that group of people from this morning. They came and went in a hurry, as if they were afraid he would refuse their gifts. They didn't even have time to explain themselves clearly, and it was as if wild dogs were chasing them. They all ran away in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Changlong straighten up and shake his head, Lu Qiqi gave up hope.

However, she could vaguely guess what was going on. After all, there was the precedent of Madam Wu, and the fact that she was known in the border town was entirely due to her medical skills.

Having understood this, she said, "Second brother, please take the invitation cards to each household and say that you are grateful for their kindness, and that your ladies have invited me to a meeting, but it will have to wait until my day off. If there is an emergency, you may return the gifts."

Lu Qiqi thought this was just earning extra money outside the military camp, and her main job couldn't be affected. Although the emperor was very stingy and didn't pay her a penny of salary, she had no choice but to let the dog emperor do whatever he wanted to her if she wanted to survive, since she lived in the era of imperial power.

Li Changlong took back the gift list and said, "Those gifts look very valuable to me. I feel uneasy keeping them at home. Today is Monday, and I didn't even go to the Feng family's school because I was guarding these gifts."

Li Changlong and Zhou Yi both knew that bandits were rampant in the border town, but Lu Qiqi, being in the military camp, received the news even faster than they did.

"It is indeed unsafe."

Okay then, second brother.

After you've delivered the messages to the various prefectures, transport the supplies to the military camp. This place is the safest as long as the Tatar cavalry cannot breach the city walls.

"That seems to be the only way," Li Changlong nodded. "Okay, I'll get on it right away."

Following Lu Qiqi's instructions, Li Changlong delivered messages door-to-door, receiving the same responses, primarily from the head of Kangle Township regarding the timing.

Its main selling point is sincerity that cannot be refused.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Qiqi accepted it calmly. Since she couldn't go back anytime soon anyway, she might as well earn more money. After all, these wealthy gentlemen and their wives weren't short of money.

She put all the gifts into her spatial storage, intending to visit each household during her time off.

Unexpectedly, the Wu family did something completely baffling.

They actually held a grand celebration for the full moon celebration of one of their concubine's daughters.

This unexpected turn of events left Lu Qiqi completely dumbfounded. When she received the invitation, she didn't know how to express her feelings.

When the servants from the Wu family came with the invitation, they were full of words of thanks, which made it difficult for Lu Qiqi, the heroine who delivered Aunt Xiang's baby, to refuse.

According to seniority, Lu Xiangxiang's daughter is Lu Qiqi's younger cousin, so she was naturally happy to be able to attend her younger cousin's full moon celebration.

He immediately accepted the invitation and went back to look around, trying to find something decent as a congratulatory gift for his little cousin.
