In the afternoon, an official named Liang Wu came to find Pei Yun.

"Master Wang, the Liu Mansion is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain the nobles of Taoyuan County. The county magistrate asked me to invite you to the banquet."

Pei Yun's lips curled up slightly, everything was within his expectations.

The gentry in Taoyuan County have masks, but those in Ruifeng County don’t. They feel so insecure and will definitely buy them, but no one expected it to be so soon.

Of course, even if Pei Yun guessed it, he pretended not to know.

"I am not from a noble family, why did the county magistrate invite me?"

Liang Wu said: "The county magistrate said he wants to discuss a business with you."

“Mask business?”

"Yes, since there is an outbreak of plague in Taoyuan County, our county must take precautions, so please go there no matter what."

Pei Yun said: "Since it is for epidemic prevention, we have to go."

Liang Wu smiled and said, "Then I will come to pick you up in the evening."

Pei Yun nodded and went back to the room. The curve of his mouth was harder to suppress than AK. He felt inexplicably happy making money from these nobles.

You can also take this opportunity to ask Xue Wenju if he has invited officers and soldiers.

In the evening, Liang Wu drove a ox cart to pick up Pei Yun and took him to Liu Mansion.

…

Ping An Lane.

A lot of people gathered here again. Although the rain relieved their thirst, it did not relieve their hunger.

At this moment, seeing an ox cart driving into the alley, the weak people who were originally sitting or lying down gathered around it.

"Give me something to eat."

"The old and the young in the family are almost starving to death."

"Please."

“…”

The cries of pleas were full of despair. They would surround every ox cart that appeared, but no one gave them food. They were only scolded and beaten.

"Get out of here, everyone!"

Liang Wu picked up a whip and lashed at the people who gathered around him, and screams were heard immediately.

The officials in the alley also ran over to drive the people away and quickly cleared a path.

Liang Wu said: "My Lord, I didn't scare you, did I? These lowly people deserve to be beaten."

Pei Yun said nothing, but felt sad for these people in his heart. Being born in this era, their lives were really worth less than grass.

The ox cart entered the Liu Mansion directly from the side door and stopped at the designated location under the guidance of the Liu Mansion's attendants.

Pei Yun and Liang Wu got off the ox cart.

The servant led the two of them inside.

The last time Pei Yun was being chased, he had no mood to see the scenery of the Liu Mansion. This time he was invited and had the opportunity to take a good look.

What comes into view is a straight stone road with neat corridors on both sides and exquisite lotus patterns carved on the columns.

An octagonal pavilion with a pointed roof stands in the center of the courtyard. Below the pavilion is a pond, but due to the drought, the pond has long been empty.

Go around the pavilion and enter the lacquered wooden corridor. At the end of the corridor is the main hall.

Pei Yun felt a little emotional. These noble families lived a really good life. Such exquisite mansions were much better than his shabby mountain stronghold.

I will have a mansion to live in if I have the chance in the future.

At this time, the main hall was filled with noise and it was obvious that all the people who were supposed to come had arrived.

In a corner, Pei Li was apologizing to Xue Wenju.

"Mr. Xue, I'm really sorry. Feng'er was injured by a villain and is in critical condition. So I'm afraid we can't get married."

Xue Wenju expressed his understanding, and he also asked Doctor Yao for advice. Pei Feng was already inhumane, and if his daughter married him she would be a widow, so it would be better not to marry her.

He originally wanted to bring it up, but he didn't expect Pei Li to take the initiative to say it, which was perfect.

"Uncle Xue, since Qianqian can't marry Pei Feng, how about marrying me?"

Zhang Zeshan came over. After learning that Xue Qianqian was going to marry Pei Feng, he was furious and felt that all the rumors he had spread were in vain. He overheard the conversation between Pei Li and Xue Wenju just now and couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Xue Wenju frowned, "Didn't your Zhang family cancel the engagement?"

"Uncle Xue, it was indeed our fault to cancel the engagement. My father regretted it when he returned. I really like Qianqian and I will definitely treat her well for the rest of my life."

Zhang Zeshan looked sincere.

Xue Wenju said nothing.

"The prince has arrived!"

Just then, a servant's voice was heard.

All eyes turned to look over there, Xue Wenju said: "We'll talk about this later."

Zhang Zeshan was immediately delighted and did not refuse immediately, which meant there was hope.

After many twists and turns, Xue Qianqian finally fell into his hands.

Pei Yun entered the hall at this time, looked around, and saw Liu Yiyi. He couldn't help but think of her white and big breasts, as well as her perky butt.

I thought I would never see this girl again, but I saw her again just a few days later.

After Liu Jingzhi arranged for Pei Yun to sit down, he smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the feast."

He clapped his hands, and immediately a maid came up with plates of food.

Pei Yun looked around and saw that there were about twenty nobles who came, probably the heads and heirs of each family.

The food was not much different from what he had seen at Pei's house before.

Wild vegetables, meat, wine, rice porridge.

Pei Yun didn't have much appetite. He just ate some wild vegetables and then put down his chopsticks. As for the meat, he didn't even pick it up. Who knows what kind of meat it was.

After three rounds of drinking.

Finally getting to the point, Xue Wenju asked about masks and wanted to buy one for every citizen in Ruifeng County.

If there are a large number, I would even like to let the refugees wear it as well.

Pei Yun did not expect Xue Wenju to have such courage. He thought he was only buying it for the gentry, but did not expect he was going to buy it for the people of the entire county.
