After Mrs. Sun returned home, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's me!" When Mrs. Sun heard this, the corners of her mouth rose and she opened the door halfway, "Hate it, why are you so late?" After saying that, she fell into the other's arms and even pressed her chest against him.
The man put his arms around her waist and took the opportunity to pinch her butt. He then wanted to carry her inside, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun. "Hey, you haven't given it to me yet!" Mrs. Sun glanced at him with seductive eyes and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.
Seeing her like this, Wu Biao felt itchy in his heart, and hurriedly took out a tael of silver and a package wrapped in yellow paper from his pocket and handed them to her.
After taking it, Granny Sun asked, "How effective is the medicine?"
Wu Biao didn't want to dwell on these words, so he evaded the question by saying, "The medicine is effective. The gentleman in the county gave it to me."
After saying that, Wu Biao picked up Mrs. Sun, patted her butt, and carried her into the house. Finally, he did not forget to kick the door shut.
Wen Ziyu walked out of the woods, originally wanting to get closer to listen to what was being plotted inside, but unexpectedly, he heard the creaking of the bed and the sound of men breathing. After realizing what was going on inside, Wen Ziyu walked away with a red face.
Elsewhere, the sound of powerful horse hooves drew everyone's attention. It was a carriage pulled by two white horses, made of high-quality snowwood. Many people familiar with the carriage had already guessed who it belonged to, but they still couldn't believe that Yiqing Pavilion would come to such a small place to congratulate.
Shopkeeper Zhang came out holding the door handle, then stepped off the carriage using a stool. When he saw Tong Wenyao, he immediately approached and said, "Miss Tong, it's been a while since we last met. You've grown taller now."
Shopkeeper Zhang still remembered that the little girl seemed to have disguised her face at that time, until the young master asked him to prepare the herbs, and then a girl came to pick up the jade pendant. At that time, he recognized that this girl was the one who bought the beads last time.
Almost as soon as Tong Wen Yao left the store, he asked someone to investigate her. Only then did he find out that she was the daughter of the Tong family in Beijing. Naturally, he returned the jade pendant to her. I'm afraid she didn't even know that the jade pendant could mobilize the entire Yiqing Pavilion's money!
I didn't know what the young master gave her the jade pendant for until she brought the prepared medicine and asked her to deliver it to the young master. Only then did I know that it was the Tong family who saved the young master's life!
This time, the Tong family invited the rich people in the county to visit here. Perhaps they thought that Yiqing Pavilion would not bother to get involved in such things, so they did not send him an invitation. However, he relied on his connections to get an invitation, which was not a difficult task.
"These are some gifts I brought with me." After saying that, the waiter next to him brought up two paper packages. Xiaohua took them and Xing'er took the gift list. She wanted to read it out, but he stopped her.
"No need to report it, it's enough for you to know it." Tong Bo understood what he meant and quickly asked Xiao Hua to put it in the warehouse.
After a while, the county magistrate's carriage arrived. Unlike the luxurious carriage of Yiqing Pavilion, the county magistrate's carriage was very low-key. The blue cloth on the carriage reminded Tong Wen Yao of the carriage she had ridden on the road to exile. Why did it look so similar to the county magistrate's?
The first one to come out was Ji Shikang, and then Meng Yun came out. When Tong Wen Yao went over to support her, she took a look at the interior and thought to herself, this is really a case of not showing off one's wealth. This is the real low-key luxury!
There was a gilded stove, and the blanket on the carriage was made of white fox fur, with a small tea set placed in the middle. Tong Wen Yao recognized with her sharp eyes that it was Qingya powder porcelain from the south, and only ten sets of tea sets were produced each year.
When everyone present saw the county magistrate, they all bowed to him! Tong Wenyao was pleased that ordinary people did not need to kneel down to greet officials. They only had to kneel down to attend the trial if they were convicted of a crime. Of course, if they met the emperor, they still had to kneel down to greet him.
Ji Shikang returned the greeting, and Tong Bo led the others into the courtyard. As the village chief followed the others, he saw other villages also looking at them at the village entrance, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
Taking over the Tong family was truly the best decision he had ever made.
Meng Yun took her into the courtyard. The hall was full of men, so it was difficult for Meng Yun to go with her husband. Even Tong Wenyao hadn't expected Aunt Meng to come. After thinking for a moment, she said to her, "Aunt Meng, please come with me. They are discussing something now, and it will probably take a while. It's our fault for not having a women's living room."
Meng Yun knew what happened to their family, so she didn't complain. "It's okay. I wonder if Pei'er is here?"
Pei'er? Her mother's name flashed through her mind. This mother's maiden name, it seemed that her mother knew her before she got married.
"Aunt Meng, my mother is in the room. I'll take you there."
She brought Meng Yun to the building where they lived. At that time, Qian's mother was already sitting in the living room on the first floor, embroidering a tiger hat. It was so small that it was obvious that it was embroidered for the unborn child.
Meng Yun stood at the door, not daring to go in. Her eyes were red, and her hand on Lu Hui unconsciously clenched.
"Pei... Pei'er."
Hearing such a strange yet familiar voice, Mother Qian paused for a moment, then murmured, "I guess my mind is not clear. How come I even heard Yun'er's voice?"
After saying that, she continued to embroider with her head down.
Meng Yun lifted her skirt, walked in, and spoke again, "Pei'er, look up at me."
Mother Qian subconsciously looked up and saw her former best friend in front of her, "Yun? Yun's mother?" She quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand and walked towards her. When Meng Yun saw how big her belly was, she hurried over to support her!
"Pei'er, you're not feeling well, don't move." Mother Qian stood up, holding her belly, and then sat back down. Tong Wenyao saw this and said, "Aunt Meng, sit down. I'll go to the backyard and get some fruit and cakes."
She went to the backyard and left it alone with Mother Qian and Aunt Meng. Ever since she learned the Tong family had arrived, Meng Yun had been recuperating. Now that she was well, she dared to go out, though she was still a little afraid of the cold. Mother Qian felt her hand, which was a little cold, and called out, "Hua Qiao, go to the backyard and get a stove."
"Yes." Hua Qiao agreed and walked out the door.
Now that no one was around, Meng Yun hugged Qian Pei'er and started crying, "Pei'er, I thought I would never see you again!"
When Qian's mother heard this, her eyes turned red and her nose felt sore.
Mother Qian took Meng Yun's hand and said with some reproach, "You shouldn't have let Master Ji speak for us." Meng Yun laughed after hearing this, "The court is incompetent. In order to give an explanation to the people of the world, they actually let an innocent person take the blame. What's more, this is a person who has served the country and the people. Even if I didn't say anything, my husband would have argued for him. But with my words, he took it more seriously."
