Changping reported outside the door.
Ever since Su Xiaoxiao reported him, he no longer dared to disrespect Su Xiaoxiao in front of his master. So when he heard that Su Xiaoxiao was coming, he came to inform his master immediately.
Jing Yi was slightly startled and looked at his cousin: "Did you let her come?"
Mr. Xiang laughed and said, "If I don't find her, won't your gift never be delivered?"
Jing Yi frowned his handsome little brows.
Mr. Xiang sighed, "It's a pity that she already has a husband."
Jing Yi said: "It's just a thank you gift, cousin, are you overthinking it?"
"Okay, I thought too much." Master Xiang smiled at Jing Yi, then turned to Chang Ping and said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you invite Miss Su in?"
Changping hurriedly turned around and left the yard.
Liu Ping also followed the two of them in. He would be the one to handle the business of the academy in the future.
Liu Ping's mood that day was like swinging on a swing - business was booming, happy! Being threatened by Jinji, disappointed! The academy also had business? Shocked!
To ordinary people, the academy is much more sacred than Jinji. It is full of scholars and one cannot get in just by having money.
How does the saying go?
All things are inferior except reading, which shows how respected scholars are.
"Miss Su, please." Changping said.
Su Xiaoxiao followed Changping to Mr. Xiang's room, while Liu Ping and Su Ergou stayed in the small study for guests.
Su Ergou probably got into the habit of coming here to catch up on some sleep, and he began to feel sleepy as soon as he entered the house.
He felt his purse.
Eh? Where's his Er Gou Bing?
Oh, I remember that the last pancake was robbed by the old man at the back door.
Su Ergou smacked his lips, lay down on the chair, and fell asleep! Liu Ping felt a little uneasy. He sat for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help but get up and walk around.
He looked at this vase for a while, then looked at that calligraphy and painting.
It’s unbelievable that he could enter the academy in his lifetime!
"Are you Brother Liu?"
A servant came in with a smile on his face.
"Ah, it's me!" Liu Ping immediately tensed up as if he had been caught.
The servant came in with a cup of tea: "Brother Liu, have some tea."
Liu Ping said hurriedly: "Ah, no, no need to be so polite."
The servant said amiably, "Brother Liu, please don't be polite to me. My master said that the people brought by Miss Su must be treated well, and the dean also means the same."
Liu Ping had just sat down when he heard this and stood up in shock: "Dean?"
The servant smiled and said, "Yes, this is the dean's courtyard. He is teaching students right now."
Liu Ping's legs suddenly went limp !
He entered the dean's residence!
The servant said politely, "Miss Su just told me that Brother Liu will be the one delivering the goods in the future. My son is going to the capital to study soon. If you have any business matters, you can come to me. My name is Zhou Xing."
"Hey!" Liu Ping said, "Little Brother Zhou."
Zhou Xing said with a smile, "Brother Liu, please stop being so polite. If my master hears me, he will punish me. Brother Liu, please sit down for a while. I will go and compile the list."
Zhou Xing went.
Liu Ping couldn't calm down for a long time.
Hearing about the friendship between Daya and Master Shen is one thing, and experiencing it personally is another.
He is just a farmer making a living. Even if the other person is a servant, he is still the dean's confidant. Why should he be polite to him?
Isn't it just for Daya's sake?
Daya is amazing! She followed the right person!
…
"Your pulse is gentle and strong, neither floating nor sinking, and the rhythm is regular. You are recovering well, and you don't need to take any more medicine."
Su Xiaoxiao pulled her hand back and said.
Mr. Xiang sat on the chair, lowered his elegant and delicate cuffs with a smile, and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Miss Su's medical skills are excellent. I think Miss Su has had a very good year."
"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand why he said that.
Mr. Xiang smiled gently: "You look good."
If you want to praise me for becoming more beautiful, just say it directly! Su Xiaoxiao looked around: "Huh? Why is Jing Yi not here?"
Master Xiang glanced at the door and couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, you stayed here for the whole morning, and when I heard you were coming -"
"Cousin!" Jing Yi walked in expressionlessly and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to Mr. Xiang. "Miss Su."
"Well, Jingyi, you've grown taller!" Su Xiaoxiao noticed his changes with her sharp eyes.
Jing Yi's eyes moved.
"You only came here before." Su Xiaoxiao pointed to a small pattern on the door frame and said, "Now it's a little more."
Master Xiang smiled and said, "Miss Su is really observant of Jing Yi."
Obviously Su Xiaoxiao was married, so they should call her Miss Su Xiaoxiao. However, Su Xiaoxiao had always been walking around as a girl, so they did not change their way of addressing her.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have a younger brother, he is also growing up."
Jing Yi went out with a dark face.
"Eh? Why did you leave?" Su Xiaoxiao pouted, "You have such a bad temper."
Mr. Xiang sighed with amusement: "Alas, it seems that I can't send it out again."
"What?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand.
"No." Master Xiang said with a smile, "Miss Su, please stay for a meal. I just happened to have some food from the capital."
Su Xiaoxiao declined: "No, I have something to do at home, I have to go back early."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Xiang no longer insisted on keeping her and let Changping give her the medical fee.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "You gave a lot last time, so you don't need to give more this time."
Chang Ping: If you have the guts, let go of your hand first! Su Xiaoxiao held the silver tightly: "Oh, really, it's too polite, I said no."
Chang Ping, who couldn't even pull out the silver: "..."
…
After leaving the academy, Su Xiaoxiao went to Chunliu Lane again.
Doctor Fu is out for another consultation.
But this time we are in town and can be back at night.
Su Xiaoxiao came to deliver antihypertensive drugs. According to the date, Aunt Fu should have finished her medicine.
"Did you take your medicine properly?" Su Xiaoxiao asked as a matter of routine.
"No!" Aunt Fu replied unhappily.
I measured my blood pressure and it was normal.
It would be strange if he didn’t eat. I’m afraid he didn’t miss any meal.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her straight in the eye and smiled mischievously: "Aunt Fu, you've gained weight. Have you had a good appetite recently?"
Aunt Fu denied it flatly, "Nonsense! I have a terrible appetite! I can't eat anything! It's all because of your medicine! Also, my leg is broken and it hurts so much, how can I have the mood to eat!"
"Aunt Fu, I brought you some tonic soup! It's made with the cordyceps flowers you gave me. It smells so good!"
The woman next door walked in with a bowl of steaming tonic soup, smiling.
It's obvious from the familiarity of this move that this is not the first time.
When she saw Su Xiaoxiao, she was startled at first, then her eyes fell on the empty plate on the bedside table, and she was shocked! "Aunt Fu, three big pancakes, I only stewed a soup, you can't eat them all, right?"
Aunt Fu's face turned red! "I didn't! She ate it!"
She decisively put the blame on Su Xiaoxiao.
The next second, she burped.
…
Watching Aunt Fu's social death is one of life's greatest pleasures, and Su Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to laugh.
Aunt Fu’s face turned dark!
The neighbors took good care of Aunt Fu, so Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to worry about. After leaving some antihypertensive medicine, she took Su Ergou and Liu Ping back to the village.
Su Xiaoxiao took the reins and said to Liu Ping, "The places we visited today are probably the places we'll visit often in the future. Have you memorized them all?"
"Remember that." Liu Ping admired from the bottom of his heart, "Daya, I find that you... are really not easy."
The villagers discussed privately how Daya had earned so much money. Some even asked if she had stolen or robbed someone. If they had seen how much distance Daya had walked, how many places she had traveled, how much work she had done, and how many risks she had taken in a day, they probably wouldn't have said anything malicious to slander her.
…
Su Xiaoxiao went into the house and Su Ergou went to feed the donkey.
Xiao Wu went home to cook for her two children. Old Man Su took the three little ones to dig bamboo shoots in the small woods behind the kitchen. The foal was sleeping on the warm hay in the small east room.
No Wei Ting.
Huh? Where did that guy go? In the woods east of the official road, Wei Ting stood under a snow-covered tree with a cold look on his face.
"grown ups!"
A man in black knelt on one knee and bowed, "I am late, please forgive me, sir!"
Wei Ting glanced at the bushes nearby and said calmly, "The marks are all destroyed?"
The man in black said, "I destroyed everything on the way here!"
Su Xiaoxiao thought that Wei Ting had another purpose when he came to Guandao last time. She was half right. He did have something to do, but it was not to dig for treasure, but to leave a mark.
"My Lord, are the young masters all right?"
"Um."
More than just being well, it was simply too good to be true. I forgot my name and surname! Wei Ting's eyes turned cold.
The man in black felt Wei Ting's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help wondering, are the young masters good or bad? If they are not good, why are they saying "hmm"? If they are good, this is another expression of deep resentment and hatred? The man in black got back to the point: "Sir, since you and the young masters are safe, can we set off to return to Beijing?"
Wei Ting said: "Not yet, we need to get the military token back first."
The black-clothed man's eyes lit up: "Sir, have you got the military token?"
I got it originally, but now I have lost it again——
Wei Ting frowned and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own ideas."
"Yes!" the man in black continued, "Sir, Young Marquis Jing has left the capital. I suspect he has also come to Qingzhou and is also trying to find out about the military talisman."
Wei Ting seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, he gestured to the man in black.
"Go do something."
Did the adults finally give him a task?
The man in black was so excited that he clasped his fists and said, "Please give me your orders, sir! I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!"
Wei Ting: "Cut a bundle of firewood."
Man in black: “???”
…
It was almost noon when Wei Ting came out of the woods carrying firewood.
At this moment, the villagers were eating at home with the doors closed, so there were not many people outside.
Wei Ting chose this time specifically.
However, just as he passed by the village entrance, he happened to meet Su Jinniang who was coming to the well to fetch water.
