"Grandpa, don't worry. This is not our fault. We are in the right. Don't worry. Qingyun City is so big. It will probably be difficult to meet Gao Yuan again." Xu Wenwu comforted.

The old man nodded.

On the way, they packed some food to take back to Zhang, and then they returned to the hot pot restaurant.

"Qibao, is the city lively?" Zhang asked with a smile when she saw a few people coming back.

"Aunt, there are so many people outside, it's so lively. How about we go for a walk together tomorrow when you have had a good rest?" Qibao said.

"Okay, I've taken out all your clothes and put them by your bed. You can get them when you wake up in the morning and put them on directly." Zhang said.

"Thank you, aunt. This is what grandpa and I brought back. Eat it while it's hot!" Qibao put the food in his hand on the table.

I didn't tell Zhang what happened today because I was afraid she would worry.

At this time, there were still three or two tables of guests in the front hall. The old man was also tired, so he asked everyone to go and rest first. After all, they had been sitting in a carriage for a whole day and it was indeed a bit tiring.

After lunch the next day, Xu Wenwu and Qian Xuedong said they would go to the city gate to pick up the teacher.

The old man was worried, so he asked the second son to go with him.

Qibao came to the hall and sat at the counter, looking at the full tables. Judging from the way these people were dressed, they all came from wealthy families.

"Boss Qian, is this your daughter? She is so beautiful!" a middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Oh! How lucky am I! This is my eldest niece. How many people are coming with you today? I'll help you arrange a table." Boss Qian obviously knew this person and said with a smile.

"Four people, they will be here soon, I will order first." said the middle-aged man.

"Xiao Fu, please clear an empty table and give it to me, your old man." Boss Qian shouted to the waiter.

"Okay!"

Qibao stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant. Next to it was a jewelry store and across the street was a clothing store. At this moment, most of the people inside were young women, picking out clothes in groups of three or four.

"Miss, let's have hot pot at Juxiang Pavilion at noon! I haven't been here for a long time, and I can smell the aroma of the hot pot from far away."

At this time, a female voice was heard.

"Well, let's eat hot pot! I happen to be craving it too."

Qibao looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young girls walking towards him, one in front and one behind.

It was obvious that some young lady was out shopping with her maid. The girl in front was wearing a light green silk dress with a bunch of white plum blossoms embroidered on it. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her face was covered with a white veil, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Qibao could tell from the look in the woman's eyes that she had a gentle personality.

The maid behind him was holding two oil-paper bags, which must have been snacks.

The woman saw Qibao standing at the door, smiled at her, and walked into the hot pot restaurant with her maid.

"Boss Qian, please arrange a private room for our lady." said the maid.

"Miss Wen is coming. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could make arrangements for you in advance? This private room is almost full." Boss Qian bowed.

"Well...Miss, why don't we just forget it? This hall is crowded and noisy, and you like quiet. Let's come back next time." The maid said from the side.

"That's fine, Boss Qian. Just arrange a seat for me in the corner by the window."

Boss Qian agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, please sit down and have some tea, Miss Wen. I'll arrange a seat for her when one becomes available."

"Yeah." The woman nodded lightly, appearing very friendly and not at all like a lady.

After arranging the two, Qibao ran to the counter and asked, "Uncle Qian, who is this young lady? I noticed you were so respectful to her."

Boss Qian whispered, "She is the prefect's daughter. She rarely goes out. She occasionally comes to our restaurant to eat hot pot, but she usually reserves a private room in advance."

Qibao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that her dress and gait were so different from those of ordinary girls. She looked very proper in every way and even covered her face with a scarf when she went out, acting like a lady from a wealthy family.

Qibao has been sitting at the counter. In addition to wanting to know the situation of the hot pot restaurant, another reason is that he is waiting for his brother and others to come back.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, I finally saw the figure of the eldest brother. Besides Qian Xuedong and the second brother, there were five or six people following him. Two of them were Master Sun from the academy, and the other was the dean of the academy in person.

Qibao walked around the counter and said, "Brother, you're back! Hello, Master Sun, hello, Dean Grandpa."

"Wenwu, this is your sister, right? I still remember that when you first entered school, this little girl also went there, right? I didn't expect that she has grown up so much now!" The dean stroked his beard and smiled.

Xu Wenwu said, "Yes, it's been a few years now, he'll naturally grow up. Qibao, where's Grandpa?"

Qibao said, "Grandpa is in the backyard. I'll take you there."

Qibao led a few people through the hall and headed towards the backyard.

"Miss, did you see that gentleman in white? He is so handsome, a truly elegant gentleman. I can see that the aura he exudes is not something that ordinary people have."

The pair of peach blossom eyes above the veil stared at the young man in white robe until he disappeared.

"Miss, why are you always staring at me? Is it..." the maid said with a smile.

"You deserve a beating! How dare you, Yuan'er, fabricate a story about your young lady coming? I must punish you today."

"Miss, you're blushing!"

"You still say that! I'll punish you by not allowing you to eat hot pot at noon!"
