The official bowed and said, "It is very likely. Jishetang has helped many refugees. I heard that the doctor at Jishetang is a remarkable woman. The man who refused to leave his name may be her husband."
Xiao Jingzhao frowned slightly.
She got married?
"There are many refugees. If all merchants had the compassionate heart of Jishetang, it would not be difficult to resettle the refugees."
Xiao Jingzhao's thin lips were tightly pursed.
The official continued, "Jishetang does good deeds anonymously and deserves to be commended. Today, the father and son delivered grain to the outskirts of the city together. Their family has even passed on their good deeds to the next generation, which is truly admirable."
Xiao Jingzhao's hand, which was on the table, trembled slightly.
child!
Suddenly, that dream popped into my mind again.
It felt so real, as if it had actually happened.
The words "Father" still echo in my ears.
Xiao Jingzhao seemed not to hear the official's farewell.
When he came to his senses, the room was empty.
"Someone come here."
"Your subordinate is here."
Two heads slowly emerged from the window.
Xiao Jingzhao twirled his fingers.
"We've been asking you to investigate this matter for days, why haven't you mentioned it even once?"
"master……"
"We checked, and it turns out that Miss Jiang is also a refugee from Zhuxi County. She came with a family surnamed Su."
Before Xiang Yang could speak, Xiang Song pressed him down, and only Xiang Song could be seen replying from the window.
Does she have any children with her?
"No, I didn't see it," Xiang Song said firmly.
"Oh, by the way, I found out that the accountant from Jishetang went to Linjiang Academy." Xiang Song said, releasing his grip on Xiang Yang's hand.
Xiangyang popped up from under the window and quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, the doctor in the clinic has changed, and the two sons of the Su family have gone to study at the academy. The headmaster himself went to the clinic to invite them."
Xiao Jingzhao said to Xiang Song, "Someone from the Prince's Mansion is delivering payment to the clinic today. Go with them."
"Master, shall I go?"
"Go prepare the carriage, let's go to the academy to see how the headmaster is recovering."
Xiang Yang: "..."
I really am going to see the headmaster!
After receiving the order, Xiang Song hurried towards Xiuzhu Pavilion.
Inside Xiuzhu Pavilion, Xiao Kang stood beneath the tortoise-shell bamboo. A gentle breeze blew, and he took a deep breath. The faint fragrance of the bamboo leaves was refreshing and invigorating.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the long robe embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns to flutter, highlighting the slender figure with a noble and graceful air.
"Young Master, it's getting windy outside. Let's go inside and be careful not to catch a cold."
Xiao Guizi noticed that his master had been strolling around the courtyard for a quarter of an hour, something that had never happened while his master was ill.
Xiao Kang raised his arms and did a few chest-expanding exercises. He breathed smoothly and did not feel short of breath.
His phoenix eyes curved slightly. "It's alright. Go to the flower hall and set up the zither."
A moment later, melodious zither music drifted from Xiuzhu Pavilion.
Xiang Song paused outside the courtyard for a moment, then walked towards the east courtyard like a gust of wind.
The maidservant saw Xiang Song turn around and go inside to report.
A short while later, Aunt Cai, who was by the princess's side, came out carrying a brocade box.
"Aunt Cai, quickly send someone to tell the Princess that the eldest young master can play the zither now."
Xiang Song, who is usually serious and unsmiling, had a smile on his face at this moment.
Aunt Cai was always a smiling person, and she said with a joyful expression, "The Princess went to see the eldest young master early this morning. Xiao Guizi said that the eldest young master did not cough last night, and the Princess asked me to deliver the reward money."
Linjiang Academy.
The headmaster picked up his teacup and took a sip; this was his third cup of tea.
He didn't understand what was wrong with the young master today. After sitting for a while, the young master didn't say anything important.
The Xiao Jingzhao of the past was not like this; unless it was something important, he would send a guard to inform the emperor.
"The headmaster is good at recognizing and appointing people."
Xiao Jingzhao smiled faintly on his handsome face and said casually, "Doctor Jiang and the Su family are both from Zhuxi County?"
"Brother Su mentioned something; they are closer than family."
The headmaster seemed to remember something, paused, and then said, "Miss Jiang also speaks with a Beijing accent, so perhaps our two families are old friends."
Even after Xiao Jingzhao left, the headmaster still didn't understand the true purpose of the young master's visit that day.
At this time, on East Street.
Sui Sui rode on Nangong Zeyue's neck, watching the colorful lion dance on the flower platform leap and bound, her phoenix eyes following the lion dancer's movements.
Shuisheng stood very sensibly next to Nangong Zeyue. He knew that even if he stood on tiptoe, he could only see the back of the person in front of him, so he simply looked up at Suisui and giggled.
At this moment, the refined and elegant Nangong Zeyue no longer cared about her dashing and debonair image.
He grabbed Sui Sui's leg with one hand, squatted down slightly, and picked up Shui Sheng with the other.
Before Shui Sheng could refuse, he was lifted into the air.
The view suddenly opened up before us, and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Cheers and applause filled the air.
After the lion dance, there was an illusion.
Only after watching the "Great Disappearance" show did Nangong Zeyue take the two little ones shopping.
The two of them kept talking almost non-stop along the way, putting down candied hawthorns and then water chestnut cakes. They hadn't gone far when they saw a vendor selling maltose.
Nangong Zeyue called out to the candy seller, "Half a jin, please."
"Uncle Nangong, Mom said that Shengsheng and I shouldn't eat too much candy. We've had enough today, so we won't buy any more." Suisui held Shuisheng's hand in one hand and Nangong Zeyue's big hand in the other. He looked up and said earnestly.
Shuisheng looked at Suisui with doting eyes. When he saw a sesame seed on Suisui's lips, he gently wiped it off with his sleeve.
"Senior brother, Sui Sui is right. Aunt Yue said that eating candy causes cavities."
