Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

This time they did not use human power to walk, but instead hired a delivery ox cart to take them along the way.

If you don't have to walk, you can just sit behind the cargo, with your feet hanging down and watch the scenery slowly passing by.

The antique charm I had seen in books and on TV before was not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes.

You can feel the strong smell of fireworks when the mountain is about to set.

We soon arrived at Mr. Huang’s home in the south of the city.

The person who opened the door was Mr. Huang himself.

Seeing that it was a woman, Mr. Huang asked the kid beside him to go find his master's wife.

After a while, a woman with a cloth on her head came over, mumbling something.

"Please take care of these two guests."

After saying that, he hurriedly returned to his original position.

They followed the woman and left.

Wei Qiqi could tell at first sight that Mr. Huang was henpecked, while Mrs. Huang did not look like a gentle person.

Shouting loudly while doing things is probably inevitable.

Sure enough, she saw an older boy bring two cups of boiled water and then stand aside stiffly.

The geographical location, lighting and ventilation are not as good as the previous one, and there are not as many students as before.

I was asked the same questions as usual, and I passed the test without any surprise.

Before leaving, he said that if he wished, he could bring along a gift of money and one tael of silver.

"Want to see the next one?"

Wei Qiqi asked, and without waiting for Li Yuan to answer, she said to herself: "It is better to go and take a look, so that you won't always worry about it in the future."

The slums near the city gate made Wei Qiqi frown. When she arrived at the gentleman's house, she didn't want to go in at all.

“This is even worse.”

It was extremely noisy, with occasional sounds of children being beaten and the sound of vegetable vendors yelling after a couple had an argument.

The devil's sound pierces my ears.

The sound is on both sides, and you may not be able to hear it clearly when you are in school.

This time he didn't even knock on the door, but turned around and left with Li Yuan.

“So, expensive things have their advantages, don’t waste a lot of time just to save a few taels.

Time cannot be bought with money.”

So far, it has been confirmed that the first Mr. Kong was a teacher.

On the way back, the two of them bought some things for their repair on the roadside.

Ten pounds of dried meat, as well as celery, lotus seeds, longan, red beans and red dates.

It represents the meanings of diligence, painstaking education, and good luck.

Carry these things back to the inn.

What they didn't realize was that there was someone secretly following them from the shop where they bought the dried meat.

After confirming that they were staying in the inn, he left quietly.

They continued to eat and wash, and the two of them cooperated with each other tacitly.

Wei Qiqi called the man over and wanted to ask a few more questions as she was worried, but she let Li Yuan speak first.

"Qiniang, since I am going to Confucius' class, I will study hard and will not disappoint your expectations."

"You're right. I should save my time and do more meaningful things."

Li Yuan's words left Wei Qiqi speechless. After a while, she touched Li Yuan's head and realized that this little guy was very smart.

No more worries.

By the time the two of them fell asleep, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside.

Since coming here, Qiqi has never stayed up late. Without a watch, there is no way to know the exact time, and it is very troublesome to get up and take a look.

I can only go to bed when it gets dark and I have finished packing my things.

So I woke up very early in the morning.

It was foggy outside. Looking into the distance, half of the city was hidden in the fog, appearing and disappearing, which was extremely beautiful.

After Li Yuan woke up, the two of them washed, ate, packed up, and prepared to go find Mr. Kong early.

Although we came in the afternoon, there would be no problem in going in the morning.

As soon as the two people went out, they were stopped by people who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"My lady, my wife wants to see you. Please go."

Li Yuan subconsciously stood in front of Wei Qiqi and said, "We have never met your wife before, so naturally we don't want to go with you."

"Madam, do you still remember that you saved a child two days ago, about this age. This child is my young master. If you hadn't pushed him away in time, our young master would have been spared."

"After we returned, Madam asked us to look for our savior, saying that we must not let anyone get away like this."

What the servant said was absolutely true. The clothes he was wearing were similar to the servant's clothes from last time.

"Please help me decline Madam's kindness. I didn't expect any reward for saving people. I just did it on impulse. As for going to your house, I don't need to go. It would be a wasted trip."

As they were about to turn around and leave, the man stopped them, knelt down and said, "Please have mercy on me, my lady. If I can't bring you back, I will be punished."

Wei Qiqi was startled by the person kneeling down, and hurried to help him up. Li Yuan was faster than her and used all his strength to lift him up.

When the people around saw this kneeling, they all gathered to watch the fun.

Li Yuan helped the man up and looked at Wei Qiqi. She thought for a moment and thought that since the original appointment was in the afternoon, it would be early to go now, so she said to the man, "Then let's meet. Please lead the way."

Seeing Ken go, the man patted the dust off his body and was about to take the things in Li Yuan's hand, but Li Yuan avoided him and said, "Take what Qi Niang has."

Li Yuan was holding lotus seeds, red dates and other things in his hand, while Wei Qiqi's uninjured hand was holding ten kilograms of dried meat.

The two men followed and came to a bend, where they found a carriage parked.

I've been here for such a long time and I've never seen a horse-drawn carriage. I didn't expect that I would not only see one but also be able to ride in one.

After asking everyone to get on, the man drove off in another direction.

The interior of the carriage was well decorated. There weren't many things in it but you could tell that every item was of good quality.

The space was just right for them, one big and one small.

We arrived at the location quickly.

Wei Qiqi got off the carriage first. The carriage stopped in front of a very large mansion, which was the largest mansion she had seen since she came here.

There was a guard at the door, and it was written "City Lord's Mansion".

City Lord’s Mansion?

Wei Qiqi was shocked.

As if he knew Wei Qiqi's surprise, the man nodded and admitted: "Our master is the lord of this city."

In other words, she accidentally saved the young city lord?

After the man went in, he arranged them in the hall, asked them to wait for a while and then told someone to bring the master and his wife over.

While waiting, Wei Qiqi looked at Li Yuan, only to see that Li Yuan was accustomed to this kind of scene and remained calm.

It was only when Wei Qiqi was in charge of the Lu family that she found out that Li Yuan was the son of the city lord.

At this point, it is inevitable that negative emotions will arise.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan did not move at all.

Noticing her gaze, Li Yuan looked over.

"This must be the lady who saved Feiyue."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Wei Qiqi led Li Yuan to salute, and the woman helped them up and faced upwards at close range.

She just felt that she was about to be captivated by the appearance of the woman in front of her.

"My wife is so beautiful."

The woman couldn't help but sigh.
