Pei Zhaoqi didn't even need to look for Fang Ziyan. He just ran in one direction after leaving the main street of the county government office.

Yu Nanshu followed and asked, "How did you know he ran this way?"

Pei Zhaoqi kept walking with a smile in his eyes: "Whenever he feels wronged, he will go to my stall. I can always find him there."

Ever since Zi Yan came to Tongan County, he would run to his stall whenever he had time, and he said: Zhao Qi is studying hard and neglecting his family, so I have to take good care of Aunt Pei for Zhao Qi and help Aunt Pei!

In fact, it is just to eat and drink for free.

But Zi Yan was thick-skinned and sweet-mouthed, and the more often he went to the stall, the more his mother began to like this "godson" more and more.

Therefore, every time Ziyan went there, his mother would warmly welcome him and even ask, "Little Ziyan, do you want to stay at home tonight and go back to the county government office tomorrow? Auntie will make you some sweet rice cakes for supper."

Sweet Baba.

Pei Zhaoqi covered his chest when he thought of this. This was a treatment he had never received at home...

He felt that it wouldn't be long before he and Zi Yan could become sworn brothers...

"Stall?" Yu Nanshu was curious. "What stall?"

"Bean soup. My mother runs a bean soup stall. Ziyan loves it."

Pei Zhaoqi's answer was very natural. He never felt that he was inferior because his family ran a small food stall. His mother raised them both with her own hands. In his heart, she was already the greatest mother.

Sure enough, Yu Nanshu did not show any disdain, but instead urged with a look of surprise:

"Bean soup! I like it too! Come on, let's go, hurry up, or Fatty will drink it all up!"

Pei Zhaoqi paused and wanted to remind her: Zi Yan hates it most when people say he is fat.

But Yu Nanshu didn't give him a chance to speak, and kept urging him:

"Hurry up! Oh, by the way, I want to tell you that your steps seem to be sluggish and a little weak. It's obvious that you only study and don't move around, so your Qi and blood are insufficient. When you have time, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to regulate your body."

She spoke seriously and sincerely, Pei Zhaoqi was a little surprised, "You can see these, you can treat it?"

Yu Nanshu did not answer, but just said: "I heard from my father that you are going to take the imperial examination. The examination will be held for several days in a row. If you don't take care of your body from now on, you will suffer."

Every year, there are many students who faint in the examination room.

Even those who could hold on, when they came out a few days later, had pale faces and looked like people who had suffered a serious illness.

Pei Zhaoqi took her words to heart.

"Thank you, Miss Yu. I will go see a doctor after I am done with this busy period."

Yu Nanshu chuckled, "What Miss Yu? How strange! My father likes you, and you have a good relationship with Sister Shen. Just call me Nanshu."

this......

Just when Pei Zhaoqi was feeling a little embarrassed, he heard Yu Nanshu calling him: "Zhaoqi! Let's go! Let's go find Ziyan!"

Zhao Qi...Zi Yan...

"it is good!"

Pei Zhaoqi felt inexplicably happy and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

From now on, he has two friends.

He also made friends of his own, which was great.

The two ran away, talking and laughing. Yu Zhengqing stood at the gate of the county government office and sighed: The girl has grown up...

If this kind of situation of following behind the boys and playing around happened in Shangjing, he would definitely not allow it.

But it is different in Tongan County. Children in Tongan County, boys and girls, play together since they were young.

It should be... okay, right? Yu Zhengqing comforted himself.

The backs of the two gradually disappeared from Yu Zhengqing's sight. Half a minute later, Li Hongmao appeared beside him.

"Master Yu, have you seen Zhao Qi and Zi Yan? I didn't see them this morning. Zhao Qi didn't study much yesterday, so he shouldn't waste his time today..."

Yu Zhengqing's face froze and he let out a hiss.

"I really can't see where the children are. You can look for them again. Maybe there are so many people here today that they are mixed in with the crowd."

After he said that, he felt it was not enough and pulled Li Hongmao.

"The results of the policy essay competition are out. My father personally reviewed the questions. Would you like to go and take a look with me?"

Girl, daddy will help you here!

When Li Hongmao heard that the questions were reviewed by Earl Yongning himself, he no longer cared about looking for his little disciple. He happily followed Yu Zhengqing into the county government office.

To have one's papers personally reviewed by Earl Yongning is an honor that students have been longing for in the past decade or so.

......

For this grain transportation, the entire Liuyang Prefecture dispatched nearly a hundred horse-drawn carriages, traveling back and forth between Liuyang Prefecture and Tongan County.

This carriage convoy was led by the government office and formed in collaboration with influential gentry and merchants in Liuyang Prefecture.

There were hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, and one could tell how huge the noise was without even looking at it. It could be said that the dust on the grain transport road never settled down, and the drivers were choked and coughing as they went back and forth.

But the people in the caravan never thought that although they had many horse-drawn carriages, the relief grain donated by Tongan County was even more.

As everyone is busy, time passes quietly and a day goes by in the blink of an eye.

As dusk approached, Yu Zhengqing felt a little embarrassed as he looked at the small amount of grain that had not yet been transported away.

He had just made a bold statement to Shen Zheng yesterday, saying that no matter how much food was transported, he was slapped in the face today...

The leader of the convoy saw that Yu Zhengqing looked unhappy, so he stepped forward and assured him, "Don't worry, sir. Both our men and horses will not rest tonight, and we will be able to transport all the food to the dock before dawn."

Yu Zhengqing sighed.

"Even if people don't need to rest, horses do. Let's do this today and continue tomorrow morning."

The leader of the convoy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how strong a horse is, it is impossible to run non-stop for a whole day and a whole night.

He said that the horses would not rest, but in fact he was prepared to risk the horses' lives to transport food.

Fortunately, the horses can now rest for a night.

The next morning, before dawn, the caravan set off again. Some of the carriages turned back last night and stopped directly in Tongan County, waiting to continue loading this morning.

When several residents of Tongan County were helping with the loading, they stealthily took something out of their pockets.

They looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so they sneakily tried to stuff the thing into the rice bag.

They were very careful, but who would have thought...

"My fellow villager, what are you doing?"

A cry of surprise drew everyone's attention, staring at them.

After being caught, several people looked at each other in panic.

"Aren't these Huang Hu and his friends from Nanba Village? What did they do? Young man, did you misunderstand something? They are indeed from Tongan County and they would not do anything bad."

"Yeah, little brother, did you see what they did? You can't do anything."

The people of Tongan County are extremely protective of their own people. They inexplicably believe that under the rule of Lord Shen, no one would be so ignorant as to do something that would ruin their own future.
