Ning Jiang was not close, no wonder Lin Ting and the others were able to catch fish, it turned out that they went to such a far and such a deep place.

"It's good to eat fish. We haven't eaten fish in a long time. We eat meat here every day. It's nice to change the taste."

Jiang Lan took the fish and washed it. She was quite good at making fish soup.

Lin Ting took Shen Qingzhou and Shen Wanyi back to Shen's house first. They were all very dirty, so they went to wash themselves first and then came back to eat.

In the afternoon, Shen Qingzhou taught Shen Wan to recognize words while reading a book.

Lin Ting searched the two rooms inside and out to see if there was anything that could be planted on the farm.

After checking out her family, she went to ask Yang Xiuxiu and Jiang Lan about it.

In the Dongxia Kingdom, with its vast land and abundant resources, there is really nothing that can be planted in this month except for beans.

Lin Ting was unwilling to give up. The day after tomorrow when she went to the county government office to give acupuncture to Old Madam Qu, she would go to Wenzhu County to look for her.

In the past two days, Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou have been very harmonious at home, and Shen Jizu and Shen's mother no longer dare to come and make trouble with them.

Having witnessed Lin Ting’s brutality, the family is now very afraid of him. They also understand that if they touch Shen Wanyi again, it will be their death.

Now everyone is staying at home to recuperate and not going out.

Early in the morning, Lin Ting took Shen Qingzhou to the Tea House for breakfast.

He was helped in by Lin Ting, and only Xiaofu recognized him.

"Madam Lin, isn't this the scholar who won the first prize in our Tea Language Building's painting competition?"

Xiaofu also helped Lin Tinglai to help the man, as he didn't know Shen Qingzhou's true identity yet.

"It's him, Xiaofu. Go ask the kitchen to get some rice cakes and make a pot of pine needles."

Xiaofu said "Oh". He could only feel that this scholar seemed very familiar with Madam Lin.

After having morning tea, Lin Ting sent Shen Qingzhou back to Yangtai Academy, and she also went to the county government office to give acupuncture to Madam Qu.

Now I go to the old lady for moxibustion treatment every five days, and I have almost recovered.

But because she had to meet guests today, she asked Lin Ting to go earlier. Otherwise, when the guests came, she would have a face full of silver needles, which was really indecent.

Before I even reached the county government office, I met Xiaoju on the way.

"Xiaoju, why are you here? Where's the old lady?"

Xiaoju bought a lot of things. Lin Ting saw that there were many toys and various kinds of flowers on the shopping carriage.

"Madam Lin, I just finished shopping and was just thinking of looking for you. The old lady has been waiting for you to come over."

The shopping carriage was full of things and Xiaoju couldn't sit in it, so Lin Ting asked Xiaoju to get in his own carriage.

Anyway, they all went to the county government office.

Seeing Xiaoju tired and sweating, Lin Ting handed her a palm-leaf fan.

"Xiao Ju, which distinguished guest is the old lady going to meet this time? It seems like everything she has done is so grand."

Lin Ting was also afraid of meeting this distinguished guest in a while, so if he knew something in advance, he would be able to prevent himself from being caught off guard.

"This should be the most important thing for the old lady this year."

As she spoke, Xiaoju opened the water bag again, took a big sip of water, and then began to speak to Lin Ting with a smile.

"The person the old lady wants to meet today is the wife of the Ye family in Minzhou. Of course, it's not just Mrs. Ye who is here, Miss Ye is here too. Maybe, in the future, our master will have some relationship with this Ye family."

Xiaoju said it very clearly, meaning that the Ye family is very likely to be Madam Qu's future in-laws.

"Xiao Ju, Lord Qu is the magistrate of Wenzhu County. The one who can be worthy of Lord Qu is not an ordinary family, right?"

Xiaoju has a simple mind, and she already regards Lin Ting as her own, so she says whatever she wants.

“The Ye family is a merchant family, but Madam Ye is the daughter of a respectable official family. Miss Ye’s grandfather was an official in Beijing and was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel who had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

The Ye family is considered a noble family, and when they were in the capital, Madam Ye was on good terms with our old lady, so both families have that intention."

Lin understood, but there were only a few stories about the daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Personnel marrying a merchant.

But even if there is such a high-ranking official behind the Ye family, it is still considered marrying up for Miss Ye to marry Qu Yuanxun.

Along the way, Lin Ting drove to the county government office with ease, took the silver needle bag, and skillfully gave acupuncture to Madam Qu.

Xiaoju and the other servants were busy preparing everything, including the banquet, flower arrangements, and toys.

At the time of Si, Lin Ting's acupuncture treatment had just ended when someone came to report.

"Madam, Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye are here."

Madam Qu adjusted her appearance and was about to go out to greet them.

Lin Ting also packed up his things and planned to leave from the back.

"Lin Ting, don't leave. You are about the same age as Miss Ye. It would be more lively if you stayed and had dinner with us."

"That's not good. That's the guest you invited, old lady."

Only then did Lin Ting realize that Xiaoju and the others had prepared an extra flower arrangement table for her.

"Just consider it as helping me, an old woman. I don't have any young women here. Just stay and have dinner. I value you the most."

Maybe she just needs Lin Ting to accompany her, and for Madam Qu's sake, she'll just treat it as a free meal.

After tidying up her appearance, Lin Ting came with Shen Qingzhou today and wore a light green dress.

This is a new one, and it's pretty decent.

Moreover, she has been using Yujisan recently. Her skin is fair, she has thick eyebrows and big eyes. She is stunning without rouge.

Following Madam Qu to the gate, we were greeted by a luxurious carriage.

Each decoration on the carriage alone was worth a fortune, and there were several simpler carriages following behind, which should have been used by Mrs. Ye to load goods.

"Bai Ying, it's been almost ten years since we last met. You haven't changed at all. You still look the same as before."

When Mrs. Qu saw her old friend, they immediately stepped forward and shook each other's hands, tears in their eyes.

"Shuzhu, it's only been a few years, why are you so haggard?"

Old Madam Qu is speechless. Only she knows the suffering she has endured over the years.

"It's all in the past, but I haven't heard anyone call my name in a long time. I almost forgot I even had one."

For so many years, Mrs. Ye only knew about Mrs. Qu's situation through letters, but she didn't expect that when she saw her again, she almost didn't recognize her.

"Oh right, this is Xiaoman, she looks just like you, so pretty."

Ye Xiaoman bowed to Madam Qu and said, "Madam Qu, how are you?"

Ye Xiaoman was wearing a bright yellow dress and her jewelry was not ostentatious.

She has a round and mellow face, big eyes, and is lively and cute, the kind of appearance that all old people like.

"Well, you and your daughter have just arrived and are tired from the journey. Come in and have dinner first. I have prepared a lot of things for you to enjoy."

Madam Qu pulled Madam Ye in together. They were about the same age, but because Madam Qu was ill, she looked more than ten years older than Madam Ye.
