After the old lady left, the two Lin brothers drove their carriage to the county town. Worried about returning home too late, they drove a little too fast. The journey, which normally takes about an hour and a half, took them only an hour.
"Wan Ning, why don't we go directly to the academy? It's a good opportunity to visit my third brother." Lin Jingcheng asked outside.
"Okay, let's go to the academy first! Wait a minute, big brother, we can buy some rice paper on the way and send it to third brother."
After that, the carriage stopped in front of a study. Lin Jingcheng helped Shen Wanning get out of the carriage, entered the study, and selected some fine rice paper before they left.
Just as Shen Wanning was about to get on the carriage with the rice paper, she heard a loud shout in the distance, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The horse is going crazy! Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
Pedestrians on the road dodged, their faces pale with panic. Shen Wanning looked toward the sound of horse hooves. A man on a tall horse was galloping towards them. A little girl, about ten years old, stood in the middle of the road, motionless with fear.
In a flash, Shen Wanning threw away the rice paper and rushed forward. The horse brushed past Shen Wanning's shoulder. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Shen Wanning looked at the little girl anxiously, "Little girl, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "It's okay, thank you for saving me." After that, she took a bite of the osmanthus cake in her hand.
This reaction surprised Shen Wanning a little. She thought that most little girls would be scared and cry when encountering such things, but she didn't expect that this little girl was different.
Although he was so frightened that he couldn't move just now, he was able to eat the osmanthus cake so calmly afterwards. He is really different from other children.
"Where are your parents? Why are you here alone?" Shen Wanning was worried about human traffickers, so she asked a few more questions.
The little girl ate the osmanthus cake in her hand bite by bite. After finishing one piece, she took out a bag of peach cakes from her chest and started eating them.
"They went to buy me some snacks, so I'll wait for them here. Otherwise, they won't be able to find me later."
"Miss, Miss, you scared me to death. I just saw the horse charging towards you. I almost thought... I almost thought I would never see you again." A woman in emerald green clothes stumbled over, tears in her eyes, holding a few bags of cakes in her hands.
Shen Wanning took a closer look and realized that this was the maid she had met at Zui Xiang Lou that day. Her name seemed to be Yao Hong. This meant that this girl was the daughter of County Magistrate He.
Miss He still stuffed the peach cake into her mouth with one hand, and reached out with the other to pat Yaohong's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm blessed with a long life, it's not that easy for me to die."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, miss, please don't talk about life and death. I want to live a hundred years." Yaohong wiped her tears with the hand holding the pastry.
The two Lin brothers walked over and looked Shen Wanning up and down, "Wanning, are you okay?" They saw it clearly just now, and the mad horse probably didn't hurt Shen Wanning, so they didn't come over immediately.
"It's okay, let's go, we're going to the academy to sell milk tea. Oh, I'm a little thirsty, could you make me a bowl of milk tea? Just add five spoons of sugar, thank you."
Lin Jingce was puzzled and thought she was really thirsty, so he hurried back to the carriage to scoop some milk tea.
"Hey, are you going to the academy to sell food? Then I'll buy them all so you can go home earlier." Thinking of how Shen Wanning had just saved her, Miss He opened her eyes wide and said innocently.
Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, little girl, but that's not how you do business. You won't be able to finish all the wine you buy. But if you want to try it, I can pour you a bowl to try."
Just then, Lin Jingce came over with a bowl of milk tea. He handed it to Shen Wanning, who immediately handed it to Miss He.
Yaohong stopped her and said politely, "Miss, eating food from outside might be unclean. The master never lets you eat food from outside."
Miss He heard her subconscious intention and retorted, "If they had any intention of harming me, they wouldn't have saved me just now. There's no need to do this. Yaohong, don't worry, it's okay."
After saying that, the little girl picked up the bowl, took a sip, then took another big sip. She raised her head excitedly, "Milk, it's milk! But it tastes better than cow's milk."
The little girl quickly finished a bowl of milk tea, returned the bowl to Shen Wanning, burped, and touched her stomach. "Oh, it's a pity that my stomach is so small, otherwise I would definitely drink a few more bowls."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Wanning and asked, "Sister, can I buy them all? I want to keep them and drink them slowly."
Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head. "This won't keep well, but if you like it, I'll save some for you to take home. How about that? We might come to the county town every day to sell milk tea, and we might even buy a shop here later. I'll let you know when the time comes!"
Miss He jumped for joy. "Okay, okay, then I'll ask Yaohong to buy a big bowl and a food box, and we'll take a big bowl back so that my father and mother can have a taste. Be sure to tell me when you open a shop in the county. My name is He Zhenzhen, and I live in the county magistrate's mansion. Just tell me my name when the time comes."
Shen Wanning smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you when I open a shop in the county."
They chatted for a while, and Yaohong came back with the bowl and lunch box, and put a full bowl into the lunch box.
Before leaving, He Zhenzhen waved to Shen Wanning and said, "Goodbye, sister. You must come to the county town to open a shop soon. I will buy your milk tea every day."
"Okay, definitely!"
After seeing He Zhenzhen off, Lin Jingcheng came over and asked, "Wan Ning, did I hear correctly just now? She was talking about the County Magistrate's Mansion?"
Shen Wanning nodded. "Yes, that little girl should be the daughter of County Magistrate He. I happened to see her maid in the county before. I know she likes to drink milk, so she asked Big Brother to bring a bowl of milk tea over."
"Wan Ning, you are so smart. With Miss He's help, I believe milk tea will soon become famous."
"That's what I thought. Let's go. We've been delayed for a while. It's time for us to set off for the academy."
After that, the group set off towards Bailu Academy.
I had originally planned to let Shopkeeper Yang be the middleman, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, which saved me a lot of trouble.
Thinking of Shopkeeper Yang, she added, "Wait a minute, big brother and second brother, let's go to Zui Xiang Lou first."
She wanted to go and see how Manager Yang was doing and whether he was okay.
The two didn't know what she was going to do, but as long as Shen Wanning said so, they would do it.
