The provincial examination was approaching, and they did not plan to rent a house in the provincial capital this time. The main reason was that Qin Yan still had to go to the academy every day and be taught by the dean himself.

Then you have to go to the restaurant to book a room in advance and check in two or three days before the exam.

Fang Tonggan was originally the most suitable person for this matter, but the case in the yamen has not yet been concluded, and the yamen runners may summon someone at any time.

Fang Tong was a man, so it would be easier for him to handle the matter. So the task of booking the room would have to be left to Qian Fengping.

"Book a room and take you for a walk." Qian Fengping was worried that the little girl would get bored.

"Okay, okay." Fang Nanzhi was very excited: "Mom, let's go listen to storytelling, okay?"

The last time she went to the provincial capital, she listened to storytelling at the door of a teahouse and she liked it very much at that time.

"Okay, no problem." Qian Fengping agreed immediately.

You can listen to books, sit down and drink tea, and eat snacks without feeling tired.

"Let my second brother stay with you to protect you." Fang Tong reminded.

Of course, we are not going there by ox cart this time because ox carts are too slow.

The couple had already agreed to go to the county to rent a horse carriage so that they could travel back and forth on the same day.

Of course you have to be careful when riding in someone else's car.

"Okay." Qian Fengping had no objection.

The next morning, Fang Tong sent the three people to the county and watched them get on the carriage before returning.

But as soon as he returned to the village, someone came to invite him. It was a servant from the Zhou family who came on orders.

When Fang Tong went to Zhou's house, he didn't see Mr. Zhou. It was Zhou Zijing who came forward and introduced two people to him.

A young man and a young woman, both of them were noble.

But the girl looked somewhat familiar.

"Uncle Fang, these two are the young master and young lady of the Changping Marquis' Mansion," Zhou Zijing introduced.

As soon as he heard the word "Bo Mansion", Fang Tong became nervous and didn't react.

Are you here to pick up Fang Qingya?

Looking at the girl again, doesn't she look a bit like Fang Jin? Especially her eyes, which are also full of ghosts and sun.

"Mr. Su, this is my junior sister's father, my uncle." Zhou Zijing said with a smile.

The last four words show the other party's respect for Tong.

Sure enough, Su Muan didn't want to be arrogant, so he and his sister bowed to Fang Tong.

Fang Tong avoided him. Why should he show respect to him? He didn't raise Fang Qingya.

"Uncle Fang, the reason I asked you to come here this time is mainly because Brother Su has something to ask of you." Zhou Zijing went straight to the point without any intention of saying anything nice to Su Muan.

Su Muan was unhappy and felt that Zhou Zijing was too disrespectful.

He is just the grandson of a doctor, far inferior to the sons of nobles, yet they don’t take him seriously?

But he still hid it.

Fang Tong understood immediately, but he played dumb: "I'm just a peasant, I can't be trusted by any young master or young lady. I'm afraid I can't do what you two want."

"Uncle Fang is being modest. We came to Mushan Village just to pick up Qingya. To be honest, she's my biological sister."

"Something went wrong during mother's delivery, and she took the wrong baby. Qingya grew up in the Fang family, and as her third uncle, you must have taken good care of her. I'm being cheeky and calling you Third Uncle for once. I hope you don't mind."

As the eldest son of the Earl's family, Su Muan is still very capable. No matter what he thinks in his heart, his superficial work is definitely up to par.

There is nothing wrong with the square copper.

This young master is very flexible and even called his third uncle.

"Mr. Su may have made a mistake. I have been adopted out now, so I can't take on the role of third uncle." Fang Tong explained.

This statement is a double entendre, drawing a clear line between himself and Fang Qingya, as well as the Fang family.

Although the Bo family came to recognize the family and the Fang family seemed to be about to become wealthy, Fang Tong did not want to get involved.

Fang Tong felt that both Fang Jin and the old man were too capable. Any good thing could easily turn into a bad thing in their hands.

So it’s better to stay away from it.

Su Muan heard it and looked at him with a higher opinion.

"Uncle Fang, you're too polite. I just arrived yesterday, and I'm aware that there's been some misunderstanding between Qingya and your daughter."

"Qingya is young and it's inevitable that she will make mistakes. I hope you won't bother with her." Su Muan said as the servant next to him brought up a gift box.

"These are the gifts I prepared for your daughter to calm her down."

Fang Tong frowned and saw the title deed on the top layer of the gift box! The house deed!

As expected of a baronial mansion, they are generous.

Fang Tong curled his lips and sneered, "Master Su, I'm just an ordinary citizen, not worthy of being called your uncle. As for Fang Qingya's matter, the county government will handle it. I dare not accept this thing of yours; it's too hot to handle."

If he got hurt, and someone gave him money and land as compensation, Fang Tong might be tempted.

It’s a pity that Fang Qingya touched his vitals this time.

If he accepted these things, his daughter would not be able to hold her head up in the uncle's house and in front of Fang Qingya.

He Fangtong has no special ability and cannot give his daughter a rich life, but at least he should give her the dignity of a human being.

The smile on Su Muan's face disappeared in an instant. He thought he had been very polite, but the other party was unmoved and didn't appreciate his courtesy.

"Uncle Fang, no matter what, Qingya is still your junior. You should be more tolerant."

"I can't forgive you. I'm just a gangster, and I don't have such a broad mind. I just know that I won't offend others unless they offend me." Fang Tong put his hands on his hips and didn't back down at all.

Now, Su Muan's face turned completely cold and the atmosphere became a little solemn.

"Heh~"

Zhou Zijing chuckled, breaking the atmosphere.

"Brother Su, since this matter has already been personally examined by the county magistrate, it is not for us to interfere. Why bother making things difficult for my uncle Fang?"

Su Muan glanced at him indifferently.

"Is this the Zhou family's attitude?"

He suddenly became strong and could no longer pretend to be gentle and humble.

"Alas, my father has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has only accepted one disciple. Of course, he dotes on her in every way. Even I, his own grandson, cannot compare. Now that the little girl is injured, she must seek justice."

Zhou Zijing did not give a direct answer, but his meaning was already very clear.

"I understand. In that case, it's Su who disturbed you today." Su Muan bowed slightly and left with his sister.

Zhou Zijing also bowed in return.

After they were far away, Fang Tong sighed, "This noble young man changes his expression so quickly."

Zhou Zijing chuckled: "Young Master Su is young and can't stand being bullied. He's just too impulsive."

Hearing this, Fang Tong looked at him strangely.

Zhou Zijing is about the same age as Mr. Su, so why does he speak like an elder?

"Hey, why don't I see Young Master Shi today?" Fang Tong was a little curious.

In the past, in the Zhou family, apart from Old Zhou, the most common person was Shi Junyan.

On the contrary, Zhou Zijing is said to be busy with his studies and rarely appears in public.

"It's not very convenient for him." Zhou Zijing didn't say much.

It was no big deal to let the county magistrate know that Jun Yan was recuperating in the countryside.

The county magistrate was of humble origin, so he dared not tell anyone and had to find ways to keep the secret. But if people in the capital knew about it, it would be a different story.
