"No." Qiu Dafu was puzzled, because he had only been back for a short time, and in the past year or so, he had never had any contact with Zheng Hong. He never expected that Zheng Hong would suddenly come looking for him.
He led Zheng Hong into the hall and poured him a cup of hot tea.
But then he noticed Zheng Hong looking around, and couldn't help but wonder.
As Jiang Liu walked out, Zheng Hong immediately stood up.
The word 'Madam' stuck in his throat, so he quickly replaced it with...
"sister in law."
Jiang Liu smiled back.
"What brings County Magistrate Zheng here today?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced out the window.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Qiu. I heard he went home, so I came over for a visit."
Qiu Dafu: "Who told you that?"
Since his return, he has made two trips to Huaiyuan to check on the construction schedule.
Judging from the current situation, the city wall will be completed next spring.
Zheng Hong: "I heard it from Lord Tang."
"You two talk." With just one sentence, Jiang Liu guessed Zheng Hong's purpose.
She and the two men had nothing to say to each other, so she went inside to comfort the child.
"Speak, what do you want?" Qiu Dafu knew that Zheng Hong wouldn't come to him without a reason.
Zheng Hong didn't keep him in suspense any longer, "Brother Qiu, has your eldest niece returned yet?"
"Xiao Yan has not returned." Qiu Dafu looked at Zheng Hong again and couldn't help but wonder what Zheng Hong's intentions were.
Zheng Hong neither saw anyone nor left, and simply stayed at the Qiu family's house, enjoying hot tea.
He not only freeloaded tea, but also dinner.
Even at night, he ended up drinking with Qiu Dafu.
In fact, he was the only one drinking.
"Brother Qiu, when is your son's one-month celebration?"
Qiu Dafu: "Two more days." He wondered, when exactly would this person leave?
"That's great, I'll definitely participate." Zheng Hong hiccuped as he drank, and Qiu Dafu couldn't help but move a little further away.
"Brother Qiu, it's already dark, look..."
Qiu Dafu remained silent.
Zheng Hong then said:
"Sigh, it's already dark."
"Then stay here." What else could Qiu Dafu say?
"Thank you, Brother Qiu." Zheng Hong felt at ease and checked into the Qiu family's side room.
Qiu Dafu came out of the side room and entered the bedroom, where he saw Liu'er looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
"Who gave you permission to let him stay overnight?"
"But I can't just kick them out, can I?" Qiu Dafu glanced in the direction of the side room.
"Liu'er, tell me, what does it mean that he's refusing to leave? Has he taken a fancy to Xiao Yan?"
"He was sent by Tang Yi, specifically to find Tang Yi's confidante," Jiang Liu said bluntly. "Qiu Dafu, you should send him away tomorrow!"
Jiang Liu just wanted to live a peaceful life with Qiu Dafu, and didn't want her fun to be ruined by Tang Yi's people.
"Okay, fine." This reason was unexpected for Qiu Dafu.
"What do you mean by that, Liu'er? What confidante?"
"It's because of Song Jiao..."
...The march proceeded smoothly.
Qiu Yan was applying a compress to Gu Qian's eyes.
Furthermore, after applying the compress, his eyes were covered with a cotton cloth.
Thanks to Qiu Yan's actions these past few days, Gu Qian's eye strain has lessened considerably.
But still, it cannot be seen.
Qiu Yan looked out the car window at the gray, overcast sky, wondering where she was.
Then, he inquired about Ling Ba outside the car.
Where are we?
Ling Ba: "We've arrived at Fu'an City. In another month, we'll reach Ganzhou."
Qiu Yan didn't know where Fu'an City was, but she knew about Ganzhou.
After getting off the carriage, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu entered the mansion to buy some things.
However, due to the war, all the shops were closed.
Through inquiries, Qiu Yan managed to buy some mineral medicine from a starving itinerant doctor.
Among them are calamine, borax, and other substances mentioned by the old military doctor last time, which are used to make homemade eye drops.
