"You're thinking too much. Li Rongsen doesn't like men." An Yan told her.

This made Mancao feel a little relieved, and seeing Li Rongsen coming out of the house, he felt embarrassed. Seeing that An Yan was almost busy, he said, "I'm really sorry, I was confused because of my sleep."

"It's okay. There's nothing for you to do." An Yan signaled him not to be embarrassed.

"Didn't you sleep last night?" Mancao spoke frankly and she couldn't help but ask Li Rongsen.

Li Rongsen said: "Just chatting casually, talking about some business, and it will be dawn before we chat."

Qingfeng also came out. He first explained to Mancao, "We talked too late yesterday and overslept." Then he said to Anyan, "Don't blame him. I was the one who dragged him to talk."

"You two should go have breakfast." An Yan motioned for them to do this first, and then said to Li Rongsen, "We'll be going back after we finish eating."

"Okay." Li Rongsen nodded.

Mancao took them to the dining room.

An Yan packed up and moved the things to the big cat first, then went to touch Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei stayed with the big cat all day and didn't want to leave for a moment. Unless Anyan called him, he would just stay like that.

Li Rongsen finished his meal in a hurry and then came to find An Yan.

Mancao brought some food over and said to Anyan, "Take this, you can eat it on the way."

"No need. The Big Cat is very fast and can reach West City in no time. It's just right for us to go back to West City for lunch." An Yan told them.

"We'll take you out." said Mancao.

"No need. The big cat knows the way. You guys can stay here. Besides, I will come again later. I promised to teach you to play a musical instrument." An Yan said to her with a chuckle.

Mancao nodded heavily and said to An Yan, "Then you must come back early. I'll be waiting for you here. If possible, can you bring me some rouge and powder?"

"This is easy. I know the most primitive methods of making rouge and powder. I'll bring them to you when the time comes. Wouldn't it be better if you make them yourself?" An Yan said to her.

"Okay, then take a look at what fun and useful things you have and bring them all to me, so we can improve our lives." Mancao said to An Yan and Li Rongsen.

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it, and then give you a plan." Li Rongsen agreed to her.

Man Teng came over, leading his horse, and said, "I'll take you out."

"No need, we can go by ourselves. Thank you for your care these days." An Yan said to him politely.

"Okay, then you guys be careful on the road." Man Teng nodded.

"I just saw that you have a signal tower here. It shows that it is not difficult to add some modern equipment. When I go back, I will tell the old man and ask him to send some people to take care of it. You can live more comfortably. There is no need to light candles every day." An Yan said to them.

"Thank you." Man Teng said to her politely.

An Yan and Li Rongsen went to the door, sat on the big cat's broad back together, and then said goodbye to them.

It was already past lunch time when they returned to West City, but the old man was still waiting for them. He thought that since he hadn't returned yesterday, he must have returned today.

Yan Qingqiu was also waiting here. He said to the old man, "When did they agree to come back?"

"We agreed to one day, but one day is a bit rushed. But I must come back today." The old man answered him, and when he saw Yan Qingqiu trying to eat the food on the table, he slapped his hand away and said, "Hey, you can't do this. The city lord hasn't come back yet, and you are not allowed to eat."

"But I'm starving. Please let me eat something first." Yan Qingqiu felt really aggrieved. He had rushed here early in the morning and hadn't even had breakfast.

The old man said, "Isn't there something prepared for you over there?" Then he pointed to the plate on the other side.

"Those are just two white steamed buns without even any filling, big brother." Yan Qingqiu felt so miserable. Without An Yan, it was difficult for him to even have a good meal.

The old man said, "You can fill your stomach first. If they don't come at noon, they will definitely come for dinner."

Yan Qingqiu really had no choice but to drink water.

At this time, someone finally came over and said, "The city lord is back and has entered the city gate."

"Did you ask if the city lord had eaten?"

"I haven't had lunch yet." The man replied with a smile.

"Hurry, hurry, go heat up all the dishes and then start cooking the main course. Don't be lazy, be faster." The old man hurriedly instructed the man.

Yan Qingqiu also stood up immediately. He was about to go out to the yard to pick someone up, but he found that An Yan and Li Rongsen had already come over. He said, "Thank God, you are finally back. Otherwise, I would have been hungry forever. The old man would not even give me a good meal."

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to watch over Wen Jiaer outside?" An Yan said to him.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I came here with half a jar of water beads, thinking that you should be back by now and I can start decocting the medicine." Yan Qingqiu told her.

"Where is the jar?" An Yan asked while handing some things to his subordinates.

Yan Qingqiu went back to the house to get it, and while handing it to An Yan, he said, "Hey, this is enough now, but it's only half a can of water, and I've been collecting it day and night. I collected it until after midnight yesterday."

"Not bad, not bad. You are diligent. It's time to treat you to a good meal." An Yan looked at the half-empty jar of water and was very satisfied. She looked at the table, which had six plates of cold dishes, and then asked, "Where is the old man?"

"He went to the kitchen to order the dishes to be prepared. He has been waiting for you." Yan Qingqiu said as he sat down at the table. Then he picked up his chopsticks and started eating without any politeness. He then asked, "Hey, where is Li Rongsen?"

"He went back to his room to put his things away first." An Yan told him.

At this time, the old man came over hurriedly. Seeing that Yan Qingqiu had already started eating, he came up and hit his hand with his chopsticks, and scolded him fiercely: "What's wrong with you? Why are you eating alone? Besides, the city lord is still here."

"I asked him to eat. He was starving." An Yan said, and sat down and asked the old man, "What about you? Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat."

"Where is Mr. Li?" asked the old man.

"It will be here soon." An Yan told him, and saw servants bringing up dishes one after another.

I didn't feel anything at first, but now I feel hungry.

Li Rongsen had already arranged everything and was just coming into the room. Seeing Yan Qingqiu eating alone, he said, "What's wrong with you? You have no place to eat after we're gone. Why don't you go to Mr. Hua's place? You can also eat at Xiaohua's place. At worst, my sister won't stop you from eating."

"No, no, I'm just like this. I get hungry if I don't eat." Yan Qingqiu answered him with a smile, and then said, "Come on, sit down too, and eat together. Did your trip go smoothly?"

"It's okay, there's one more relative." An Yan said.

"Why, do you recognize your relatives?" The old man seemed a little unconvinced.

"I recognized them. They are an old lady and a pair of siblings named Mancao and Manteng. They are both good people." An Yan answered him.

"Hey, maybe he is thinking about the benefits of West City." The old man frowned and thought.

"They have their own forests, not for the benefit of others." Li Rongsen told him, and then said, "It was that old lady who insisted on being a matchmaker with An Yan, and wanted her grandson to be a city slave as well, and even said that she would use the forest as a betrothal gift."

Before he could finish his words, the old man slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh, great! In that forest..."
