In this way, Captain Li not only did not settle the score with them, but also paid for the family's medical treatment, treating both internal and external injuries, and by the way, he treated the sick woman's cold.

After arranging everything, Captain Li invited Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng to his house, saying that he had some business to do with Ye Xunqing and the others.

With Feng Jingheng around, Ye Xunqing was not afraid that they would capture and sell him, so he followed Captain Li home and asked Captain Li's soldiers to help them report to Zheng's mansion.

"To be honest, I asked Young Boss Ye to come here because I have something to ask of you," Captain Li said. "I have a grandmother who is seventy-eight years old. She has not been in good health in recent years and is about to pass away."

Ye Xunqing took a sip of tea and said, "Captain Lieutenant Li, please continue. If there is any need for me, I will definitely do it."

Captain Li said, "My great-grandmother's ancestors were from the Chu region, the two lakes region, where parallel imports are common. You should know that, young boss, right?"

Ye Xunqing guessed it was roughly the area around Dongting Lake during his time. "Yeah, I roughly know."

"Grandma suddenly wanted to eat Xiangfei Flower Cake from Chu this year. It's said to be made by Lady Xiang, and it's made with fish." Captain Li said embarrassment, "We rarely eat fish here, and we don't know what Flower Cake is. We sent people to Chu to inquire, but Grandma's hometown was flooded a long time ago, and there's no trace of Flower Cake."

"Oh, you are talking about the fish cakes in the two lakes area." Ye Xunqing has actually eaten it and made it. Food bloggers know everything. They may not like to eat all of them, but they can definitely make them.

He used to often stay in orphanages and nursing homes, and he also researched many dishes suitable for the elderly and children, fish cake being one of them.

"Really? I'm not sure." Captain Li said, "I saw you cooking so many fish dishes yesterday, and I asked Master Zheng about it. He said you know how to do it all, so I wanted to ask you."

"I can try." Ye Xunqing said, "Since it is the old man's wish, I must fulfill it."

People in ancient times had a short lifespan, and living to 78 was considered a long lifespan.

After the agreement was reached, Captain Li sent someone to send Ye Xunqing back, saying that he would catch fish the next day and invite Ye Xunqing to his house to make fish cakes for the old lady.

While walking on the road, Ye Xunqing remembered that he had not bought anything today, so he declined the guard's offer to send them back to Zheng Mansion and went shopping with Feng Jingheng.

Yuanzhou City is much more lively than Yutong Town. There are countless vendors selling things with diverse varieties and high quality.

For example, there are spices and dried goods that are not available in Yutong Town, but they are all available here. Ye Xunqing buys them with his eyes closed, buying as he goes.

"Aheng, look at this." Ye Xunqing picked out a pair of flower ropes made of silk ribbons. There were two small silver bells next to them, which could be tied on the head as decoration, but they were for little girls.

Feng Jingheng thought it looked good, but since they didn't have a daughter, there was no point in buying it. "Ah Qing, do you like it? Then buy it and I'll braid your hair for you."

Ye Xunqing was about to die of laughter, "What are you thinking? Buy it back for Xiaomi to wear."

Feng Jingheng said, "Isn't it too expensive?"

This thing costs five cents of silver, and I guess the price is due to those little bells.

"Not expensive, not expensive." Ye Xunqing took out a tael of silver. "I'll take two pairs, one for Xiaomi baby and one for Luzhu. I'll also take a butterfly hairpin for Lan Jie'er. Boss, how much are the hairpins?"

When Ye Xunqing bought something, Feng Jingheng paid with his eyes closed. His Ah Qing was so kind that he still thought about others even after making money.

After buying the girl's accessories, Ye Xunqing fell in love with a brass hot water bottle. This thing was also sold in Yutong Town, but it was a simple design and of poor quality, being very thin.

"This one looks good. Buy one for grandma." Ye Xunqing held up the hot water bottle and showed it to Feng Jingheng. "Heng, which one do you like?"

Feng Jingheng observed it for a moment and said, "This longevity pattern is good."

The hot water bottle is covered with a cloth bag, but it also needs to be purchased separately. Ye Xunqing chose a dark-colored one, which is more resistant to dirt.

The quality of cloth in Yuanzhou City is also very good. Ye Xunqing plans to buy a few pieces and ask his aunt to make clothes for him and give a cotton jacket to everyone in the family.

While picking, Ye Xunqing saw a piece of pure black cloth. He immediately thought of the Third Granny, and said to Feng Jingheng, "Ah Heng, buy this cloth and use it as a cloak for the Third Granny. This way, she can cosplay as the old witch in the fairy tale."

Feng Jingheng smiled. Ah Qing was saying strange things again.

"Third Grandma always wears black clothes. This one suits her very well." Feng Jingheng touched the cloth. "It's soft in texture. I think she will like it."

So Ye Xunqing took the piece of cloth.

Afterwards, they bought a few toys for Da Mi and Xiao Xuer on the street, and then went back to Zheng's house carrying a lot of things.

Ye Xunbai and the other three were standing at the gate of Zheng's house, anxiously waiting for them to come back. When they saw Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng returning safely, they were relieved.

"Brother." Ye Xunbai ran out first, his little mouth pouting and his face full of sadness.

Ye Xunqing picked him up with one hand and said, "What's wrong, Xiaobai? Do you miss your brother?"

Ye Xunbai muttered, "Xiaobai is afraid that his brother will get hurt."

"How could he be injured?" Ye Xunqing smiled slightly and said, "If I can't win, I will run away. Besides, Brother Heng is here. He will protect me."

Ye Xunbai was still very sad, "Yeah."

Ye Xunqing handed the things to Mo Yuyan, then held Ye Xunbai in his arms and patted him gently on the back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is back."

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion came to greet him. He said with a smile: "Boss Ye is back."

Ye Xunqing nodded, "Yeah, I'm back after shopping."

The housekeeper said with a smile: "Young boss, just let them take the things back. There are guests waiting for you in the front hall."

The guest who could make the butler come out personally to call people was definitely not an ordinary guest, and he specifically asked for Ye Xunqing. He was either here to seek revenge or to make a request. Judging from the butler's expression, it didn't seem like he was here to seek revenge.

"I understand." Ye Xunqing put Ye Xunbai down, then said to Feng Jingheng, "Ah Heng, give the things to Xiaobai and the others, and we'll go for a walk."

Feng Jingheng gently put the things down and said, "Please ask the housekeeper to arrange two people to help them carry it. The things are too heavy for them to carry."

The housekeeper agreed and immediately arranged for the servants to get the things.

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng followed the housekeeper to the front hall. Before they entered, they heard the conversation inside.

Ye Xunqing had very good eyesight and could tell at a glance that it was the great scholar who had come to eat yesterday, and his surname seemed to be Xu.

The housekeeper spoke outside the hall: "Master, Boss Ye is back."

Master Zheng said, "Please invite someone in quickly."
