Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The Xu family father and son felt relieved when they saw the close relationship between Su Qin and Mr. Zeng while chatting and laughing.

It is a great favor that Mr. Zeng can give them some advice today. If they bother him again, it would be asking for too much.

They didn't want Su Qin to owe Zeng Lao such a big favor for their affairs. It was already difficult for her as a woman to live alone, so how could she repay the favor?

However, seeing that their relationship was like that of a grandfather and grandson, their worries were somewhat relieved. However, they did not dare to approach him shamelessly and hurriedly said that they would not disturb Mr. Zeng casually in the future.

We were almost done chatting when Zou Tai came to pick someone up. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Zeng, where are you?"

Zeng Lao came out of the tent and replied unhappily: "What are you shouting about? Your shouting is louder than that donkey's."

Zou Tai was not angry at being scolded. He replied with a smile: "Isn't it because I can't find you and I'm afraid you'll run away again? Are you done talking? We should go back to the city. The city gate will be closed soon."

Zeng Lao glared at him and said, "Wait."

After saying that, he turned back to Su Qin and said, "Girl, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you in two days."

Su Qin also left the tent and whispered, "You don't have to come again. I'm doing fine here. Don't worry about me. Didn't you say you found the relief money? I'm sure the victims will be gone in a few days. Come pick me up then."

Zeng Lao nodded. "That's fine. Liangchen is recovering from his injuries and it's not convenient for him to go out. I'll try to find out more about your family in the city. If I have any news, I'll have Zou Tailai tell you."

Su Qin: "Okay, there's no need to rush this matter. You don't need to ask too much, and don't let anyone with ulterior motives find you."

Zeng Lao said: "Don't worry, I know my limits. If anyone dares to attack me, then he wants to be an enemy of all scholars in the world."

Su Qin knew that Zeng Lao didn't need her to tell him any more, so she handed him the belt and purse and said, "Grandpa, Lord Zhao spent so much money on me and was injured. I have no way to repay him, so I can only make this simple thing as a token of my gratitude. Please give it to him."

Zeng Lao took the things and saw the exquisite belt and unique purse. He began to feel jealous. He said dissatisfiedly, "He spent money to get something made by you, while I almost sprained my back just to see you, and I didn't even see you sew a single stitch."

Su Qin hurriedly coaxed, "How could there be no clothes for you? I originally wanted to make clothes for you, but it's not convenient to get good materials here, and I can't explain why I made clothes for other men. So I thought that when I return to the city, I will buy some cloth and make you a whole set from head to toe.

Don't worry, I will take care of your clothes, shoes and socks from now on.

You see, these belts and purses are made of coarse cloth, so how can someone of your status wear them? Wait for me to make them for you."

Mr. Zeng was delighted and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Su Qin raised her hand and swore: "Of course it's true. How could I lie to my own grandfather?"

Zeng Lao couldn't help but want to smile. He raised the thing in his hand and said proudly, "Okay, then I'll wait. You don't have to buy the material. I'll go back to the city to buy the cloth and wait for you to come back to make it. As for this, I'll give it to that brat for free."

Su Qin smiled and nodded: "Okay."

When Zeng Lao and Su Qin left, they went to ride the donkey. Zou Tai was so frightened that he quickly stopped him and said, "I beg you, old man, don't ride the donkey. I have hired a carriage for you. Please take the carriage. If you fall again, it will be the end of my life."

Mr. Zeng came here so that he could put on a good show when he met Su Qin. Now that he is going back and there is a comfortable carriage, of course he will take it.

He said to Zou Tai, "Then you go and lead the donkey."

"Hey"

Zou Tai hurried to lead the donkey, and Zeng Lao threw the thing in his hand to Zou Tai again: "Give this to Liangchen and say it was given by Suqing."

Zou Tai took the things and began to feel jealous. He looked at Su Qin and said, "Xiao Suqing, I have helped you a lot. Why don't you do it for me?"

"Snapped"

Zeng Lao slapped Zou Tai on the back of the head: "What are you talking about? Did you call her Little Suqing? I tell you, Suqing will be my granddaughter from now on, my own granddaughter. You have to respect me and behave yourself."

Zou Tai was startled. Although he was surprised at how Su Qin became Mr. Zeng's granddaughter, he did not dare to refute. He could only nod and apologize: "Mr. Zeng, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I only call Miss Su Qing that because she looks like my sister."

Zeng Lao glared and said, "Who is your sister? I don't have a grandson as naive as you."

Zou Tai smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, it's not my sister, it's Miss Suqing."

Zeng Lao saw that he had become honest, and his anger subsided. He also explained to Su Qin: "Don't mind it, he is just like that, he doesn't control his mouth, but he is not a bad person."

Su Qin knew who Zou Tai was, so of course she wouldn't care.

He smiled and said, “I don’t mind. I know Lord Zou is a good man.”

Zou Tai was happy: "Since you know I'm a good person, why did you only send Liangchen and not me? I also helped you."

Mr. Zeng was unwilling again: "You help with such a small favor, and you have the nerve to take credit for it. If you have the ability, you can spend as much money as Liangchen did."

Zou Tai was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't afford to spend so much money."

Zhao Liangchen gave him five hundred taels, and I heard that he also gave it to the Ministry of Justice, so it must be a lot. With so much silver, how many belts and purses can he buy? He might as well buy them himself.

He supported Mr. Zeng and walked quickly, fearing that if they walked too slowly, Mr. Zeng would ask him to pay the money.

After seeing them off, Su Qin turned around and saw the Xu family standing together looking at her.

She asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Chunshan and Xu Feng bowed deeply to her, and Mrs. Xu even pulled Xu Yunguo to kneel down.

Su Qin was so frightened that she hurried over to pull them back: "What are you doing? Are you trying to torture me?"

Mrs. Xu was pulled up, and with red eyes she said, "Suqing, thank you. You are simply our savior. If it weren't for your care over the past few days, I'm afraid Feng'er would not have been able to hold on. If you hadn't asked Mr. Zeng to guide them today, our family might have no hope.

You are like a second parent to us, so we should thank you."

Su Qin waved her hands hurriedly: "You are too polite, it's nothing, the food I gave you was not given by me, but by Lord Zhao, the chief officer of the Imperial Guards.

Zeng Lao gave guidance to Uncle Xu and the others because he was highly respected and liked scholars who were willing to learn.

Xu Chunshan shook his head: "No, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have these. They are all targeting you."

He could see that no matter what the reason was, Zhao Liangchen distributed food and Zeng Laolai came for Su Qin.

Su Qin was helpless: "Then you can regard me as an investment. You know, I haven't found my family yet. I am an orphan now. My life as an orphan is very difficult and I need support. I invest in you. When you get better in the future, you can protect me."

Xu Chunshan knew that this was her excuse. He had long seen that Su Qin was not an ordinary person and her family background must be very high.

Even if they were not there, there would be the leaders of the imperial guards and great scholars to protect her.

But since Su Qin said so, they couldn't say it out loud.

There is no need to express gratitude for a great favor. Just thank me once. There is no need to repeat it every time in the future and make people feel uncomfortable.

In the future, they will just do their best to repay Su Qin.

After Zhao Liangchen slept for a few more hours, he woke up feeling less dizzy. He took some medicine and ate, then began to walk slowly on the ground.

His leg was injured even more seriously after yesterday's ordeal. I'm afraid it will take at least ten days or half a month to recover.

But he didn't have ten days or half a month to recover from his injuries.

He has to recover as soon as possible and enter the palace.
