Since the donation was given away, more than twenty days have passed in a blink of an eye. Zhao Qi was busy repairing food stalls and orphanages, and moved to his new home for a wedding banquet. He actually forgot everything that Wu Wenying had entrusted.

Wu Yuechan, three little maids and two old servants are at home. I wonder if something will happen?

"Xiao Wu~Xiao Wu~, hurry up and prepare your car to the county town!"

After returning from the mountain temple, Zhao Qi yelled to go to the county town, which made the whole family feel inexplicable.

"Qi'er, why did you suddenly run to the county town for? It's already afternoon!" Old Mrs. Su asked with a crutch.

"Grandma, when Mr. Wu left, I had time to go to the county town to visit Miss Qing'er. I was busy every day and I actually forgot about this matter!" Zhao Qi quickly explained.

"It's time to fight, you dare to forget what Mr. Wu asked. I've been putting another girl in the county town for almost a month. Go and have a look. If something happens, the old woman will not forgive you!" Old Mrs. Su was not calm at once.

Wu Yuechan came once last time. Old Mrs. Su liked her very much and pulled her to say a lot. It can be seen that Wu Qian brought his granddaughter to show off his granddaughter's appearance, but to have other purposes. Old Mrs. Su naturally would not refuse such a good marriage.

Therefore, Zhao Qi was urged to leave quickly and asked Xiao Zhu to get ten taels of gold to send it to the meeting gift.

"Grandma, isn't it too cheesy to give this?" Zhao Qi was holding a heavy piece of gold and couldn't help laughing and crying.

"It's too vulgar, but our family has nothing but gold and silver. You haven't bought silk, silk and satin, and you can't even know how to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you think it's vulgar, just go to the county town to buy some piano scores, calligraphy and paintings and send them. Bracelets and hairpins are fine!" Old Mrs. Su muttered.

Zhao Qi carved gold with black thread on his head. Thinking about it, he went to the room to get hundreds of staples of silver and a handful of broken silver with him. He asked Xiaozhu to find Wu Yuechan's kettle last time, and then he took the carriage and headed straight for Yin County.

...

"Sanniang, it's almost dark, don't wander around the door!"

"That's right, the wind is strong outside, and you wear less clothes, so be careful of the wind and cold!"

"Sanniang, my son-in-law must have forgotten you!"

At the gate of a house in the southeast of Yin County, three little maids were chattering behind a beautiful girl, while the girl was holding her skirt and looking at the direction of the sunset. Looking at the gradually sparse streets of pedestrians, a hint of melancholy and loss appeared on her slightly blushing cheeks.

Since Wu Wenying left, she has stood at the door countless times every day and looked forward to it.

I just hope to see a boy whose heartbeats when she thinks of her.

But the hope of every day finally turns into disappointment.

Twenty-three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the person I missed has not even seen the shadow.

The three little maids also changed from being excited to being scolded every day, just pointing at Zhao Qi's nose and shouting at Chen Shimei.

"Ah snee~" Zhao Qi suddenly sneezes on the galloping carriage.

After more than an hour of bumpy ride, I finally arrived in Yin County before sunset. The carriage had entered the city with the bustling crowds and reached the near Lingqiao Wharf. It took only a few minutes to go to Wu Wenying's house along the Shiban Street.

After a month of arrival, Yin County is still as lively, especially since the autumn harvest has begun recently. The dock is full of cargo ships and canal ships transporting grain, while the dock is still full of civilians and helpers carrying bags. A large pile of grain is piled up on the dock and is soon transported away by cars, horses and boats.

On the walls of several restaurants and teahouses near Lingqiao Wharf, the slogans and announcements posted for the last fundraising were still there. When people coming and going passed by, they would still take a look at it inadvertently, as if they were still savoring the lively fundraising event and the grand occasion of the Baihualou charity sale.

Even at the entrances of shops and restaurants along the street, some still had slogans of charity sales, and some children running and playing on the street were wearing small promotional flags for charity sales.

Zhao Qi sat in the carriage, looking through the window at the once familiar situation on the street, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although this was his idea of ​​a sudden inspiration, he realized after putting it into practice that the people of the Song Dynasty really liked this country. From ordinary people to merchants and gentry, they all made a lot of efforts to donate. It was really a matter of money and hard work. The final result also made Zhao Qi very satisfied.

At first, he thought that with Xiaolongwan donations, he would raise up to about 300,000 guan, but in the end, he raised nearly 500,000 guan.

From this we can see that although the Song Dynasty court was corrupt and decayed, the people generally recognized the court very much.

Although the peace and prosperity at present seem a bit tragic to Zhao Qi, and everyone does not realize that they will become people who are destroyed in the near future, what ordinary people expect is such an ordinary and ordinary life.

And the girl who had been forgotten by her for more than 20 days had never thought about her secretly.

"Ah snee~" In the cold streets, a girl covered her mouth and sneezes.

"Sanniang, go back, it's cold wind!"

Half of the sunset falls into the mountains in the distance, and the evening breeze blows, bringing a cool feeling of late autumn.

Three little maids pulled Wu Yuechan into the yard.

The moment the little maid in green who was walking at the end closed the door, she couldn't help but stick her head out and look around the street corner.

Then I saw a slightly familiar four-wheeled carriage, reflected by the setting sun, carrying a light and dust, passing through the streets and alleys like long-lost memories. A young man rushing the car in front of the car, with a light face waving his whip gently.

"Sanniang, the aunt is here, the aunt is here!" The little maid in green turned around in surprise and shouted loudly.

The girl who was about to walk to the stairs turned around in surprise and rushed to the door with her skirt, but instantly she quickly loosened her skirt and hurriedly asked the maid if her hair was messy.

"Yu~" A four-wheeled carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard.

Zhao Qi got out of the car and was about to go forward and knock on the door when the faintly hidden courtyard door opened, and a beautiful girl's cheeks came out of the inside with a slightly red cheek.

"Hey, Miss Qing'er is still going to go out so late?" Zhao Qi was surprised.

"Hehe, yes, yes, Sanniang is about to go out! Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Mr. Zhao!" The three little girls came out and greeted Zhao Qi with a hilarious look.

Wu Yuechan was at a loss and her heart was beating very quickly. She thought about it day and night for more than twenty days, but suddenly she saw Zhao Qi appear in front of her, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Miss Qing'er, it's been fine recently. I originally wanted to come to visit earlier, but I was busy and couldn't take it off. I'm really sorry!" Zhao Qi bowed with a smile.

"I... I'm fine. The young master has worked hard to travel. I'll ask you to have a tea and rest. Ping'er quickly open the gate of the yard and let Xiaowu sister drive the carriage in!" Wu Yuechan saluted with blushing cheeks, and at the same time, he quickly ordered the maid to open the door. Xiaowu rushed into the yard. An old servant came to help unload the carriage and took the horse to the stable to drink water and feed it.

Sitting in the living room, a few little maids boiled water and made tea, while Wu Yuechan accompanied Xiaoqi and Xiaowu and chatted, but without Wu Wenying, the atmosphere always felt a bit awkward.

Missing each other is one thing, but when it comes to sitting together, Wu Yuechan felt nervous and speechless. After greeting each other for a few words, Zhao Qi took out a piece of yellow gold from his arms and handed it to Wu Yuechan.

"What does this mean by young master?" Wu Yuechan looked at the gold in surprise, feeling her soul was a little confused.

"Hehe, this is the meeting gift that the grandmother asked me to bring to you!" Zhao Qi smiled dryly.

"Puchi~~" Xiaowu, who is usually serious, couldn't help but cover his mouth and turn his head to the side.

Wu Yuechan was slightly stunned for a moment, and she covered her mouth with her hands and couldn't help laughing. She giggled and almost touched her head to the wall.

"Last time before Mr. Wu went to Ezhou, he asked me to visit Miss Qing'er when I had time, but the house was just repaired and I was busy moving and decorating it. I had been busy for more than half a month before I could come here for a long time. I didn't bring any gifts today. I asked Miss Qing'er not to blame me!"

"Hehe, young master, you don't need to be so polite. You don't dare to accept this Jin Ziqing!"

Wu Yuechan, who was originally a little shy and confused, became much more cheerful by Zhao Qi's gift, and she smiled and pushed the gold back to Zhao Qi.

"This... I also think it's a bit tacky to give gold, but I really don't know what kind of gifts Miss Qing'er likes. Otherwise, I'll invite Miss Qing'er and Ping'er Xiaoyun and Xiaomei to have dinner and go shopping in the evening. If I see what I like, I will buy one for Miss Qing'er as a gift, what?"

When the little maid in green who was carrying a tea tray heard it, she immediately pulled Zhao Qi's sleeve happily and shouted: "Young Master Zhao, don't lie to us. Sanniang likes to eat braised duck feet from Piaoxianglou the most. I heard that it was from Yanggong Town!"

"Pinger..." Wu Yuechan's cheeks were red with shame.

"Hehe, actually, I want to eat too. Mr. Zhao, why don't we go now? Piaoxianglou is by the river. Sitting on the second floor, you can still see the pleasure boat singing and dancing. It's so lively at night. Mr. Wu has left. We haven't been there for a long time!" The little maid in green shook Zhao Qi's arm vigorously.

"It just so happened that Xiaowu and I haven't had dinner yet. Ping'er went to say he didn't boil water and make tea. We went to have dinner and then went shopping. I treat you whatever we want to eat today!"
