"Thank you so much, Miss He, for saving my life."
Gong Yu, with a cloth wrapped around his head and his face still pale, still bowed to He Nian.
He Nian smiled and waved her hand, "Once the bill is settled, we're even."
Gong Yu put the jade pendant in his pocket without even looking at it. He had handsome features, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He nodded with a smile, "Of course, but I don't have any money on me right now. I'll leave half of the jade pendant with you for now, and I'll come back to pick it up the next day. I'll also bring the silver with me."
"No problem, no problem."
Although the jade pendant was half broken, it was of excellent quality. Even if the sixth prince didn't return it, she could probably sell it for a few taels of silver.
"I will leave when it gets to night and will not disturb the girl's family."
Although it's unclear why the assassins sent by Third Brother haven't found him yet, his identity means that every day he stays here brings more danger to the He family.
He Nian was very pleased that Gong Yu was cooperative. That evening, she specially prepared some meat and gave him two large flatbreads as a gift. "I thought you were a thief and hit you on the head. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not."
Gong Yu carried it on his back, turned around and left without looking back.
Watching Gong Yu leave with her own eyes, He Nian finally felt relieved and decided to set up a stall tomorrow!
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, He Nian was already busy in the kitchen. He Nian rolled out the fermented bread dough into individual wrappers, quickly filled them with filling, shaped them, and steamed them all in one go.
The two little ones were still half asleep when they arrived in the kitchen, but seeing that their older sister had already started working, they rushed over to help.
"Caisheng, take this to Sister Mingyue's house later, and also send a copy to the Master, okay?"
He Nian really didn't know how to thank Mingyue. Not only did she give Caisheng an enlightenment book, but she also specially hired a tutor. Although the tutor was dressed a little disheveled, his eloquence was unmatched.
Moreover, what she was most grateful for was that Mingyue had also found a doctor for He Ruyi, so that she could learn medicine from him.
"I understand, I'll go right away."
He Caisheng left carrying two food boxes.
He Ruyi and He Nian pushed the cart, covering the steamed buns with cotton blankets to prevent them from leaking out. "Ruyi, sit on the cart. The road is slippery and wet. Your master is a clean freak, so don't get scolded."
"It's okay, I brought a pair of shoes. I'll help my sister push the cart."
He Ruyi shook her head firmly, her small figure pushing the stroller with all her might.
He Nian couldn't help but laugh, but also felt very sorry for her. Before she came here, Ruyi was already very thin and looked half the height of her peers. Now that she's here, she's only gained a little weight.
Her tiny figure wasn't even as tall as the cart wheel, yet I still felt sorry for her. It's so wonderful to have a sister like her.
After finishing the breakfast He Caisheng brought, Mingyue glanced at He Caisheng and the schoolteacher who were studying, and instructed, "Xiaolin, prepare the carriage to go to town."
"yes."
Guard Lin brought the carriage to a stop and waited for Mingyue to get in before setting off.
The mountain road was muddy, and halfway there the carriage wheels got stuck in the mud. Guard Lin shoveled a few scoops of sand under the wheels, and Mingyue stood by watching Guard Lin push the carriage again.
The carriage was completely unaffected. Guard Lin, panting, said, "Sir, the carriage won't move."
"Then you stay here and keep an eye on things for half the time. I'll take the horse and head to town first."
Mingyue untied the reins and nimbly mounted the horse. "If it really can't move, you can handle it."
