Shuncai found Xiao Zimo after waking up, took out the letter from his arms and handed it to him.

Xiao Zimo opened the letter and read it, and said, "Father asked me to stay at Wu's house and send someone to pick me up next year. Besides, did he say anything else to you?"

Shun Cai shook his head and said: "Master didn't say anything else, he just asked me to take good care of Young Master."

"Since father sent you to Yancheng, then you can stay!" Xiao Zimo agreed silently.

The next day, Father Xiao's confidant completed the task and was going back to Fencheng. Xiao Zimo handed over the two letters he had prepared and the Yancheng specialties he had prepared for Xiao's father and mother, and asked him to take them back to Xiao's father and mother. .

Of course, Wu Bai and Wu's father also prepared a lot of things for Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and put them all on the carriage for the other party to take back together.

In a blink of an eye, the golden osmanthus is fragrant.

On this day, Wu Bai suddenly mentioned that he wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Xiao Zimo said: "There is a new pastry shop in the north of the city, let's go there and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go!" Wu Bai nodded with a smile.

Shuncai followed behind the two of them, and the three of them went out quickly.

Wu Yuanliang and his wife looked at their backs and sighed: "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, I didn't expect Brother Xiao to become the richest man in Fencheng now."

"Yeah, before he came to propose marriage, I was still a little reluctant to marry Brother Bai into his family and endure hardship." Mother Wu responded.

"Brother Xiao must have put on that poor attire last time because he wanted to test our family!" Wu Yuanliang guessed.

"People's hearts are changeable. After more than ten years, it is normal for him to want to test one or two." Mother Wu nodded.

"The first time I saw Zimo, I felt that his temperament was not raised by ordinary people." Wu Yuanliang recalled.

"Brother Bai is a real kid. He has been to Fencheng, so he should know the situation of the Xiao family, but he never mentioned this to us after he came back." Mother Wu said speechlessly.

"Brother doesn't want to stay. In a few months, he will marry into someone else's family. Now he hasn't even touched the account book. Remember to find time to teach him, so that he won't be in charge of the family in the future. Good." Wu Yuanliang reminded.

"Got it." Mother Wu nodded.

When Wu Bai and the others rushed to the pastry shop in the north of the city, many people surrounded the pastry shop. It took Wu Bai and his group a lot of effort to squeeze into the crowd and buy a box of pastries.

Xiao Zimo sighed: "There are too many people!"

"After all, it's a newly opened shop. The price is halved, so it's normal to have a lot of people." Wu Bai explained.

"That's right." Xiao Zimo nodded.

The three found a nearby teahouse to drink tea, listen to books, and eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really good. It's sweet but not glutinous. After eating it, it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth." Wu Bai praised.

Looking at the empty paper box, Xiao Zimo told Shuncai, "Go and buy two more boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

Shuncai also felt a little unsatisfied. Hearing Xiao Zimo's order at this moment, he ran downstairs non-stop and headed for the pastry shop next to him.

After a while, he came back empty-handed, and said with a dejected face, "Master, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake has been sold out."

"In that case, forget it." Xiao Zimo regretted.

Wu Bai suggested, "Why don't we pick sweet-scented osmanthus and take it home to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"Yes, it happens that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can also make mooncakes filled with sweet-scented osmanthus." Xiao Zimo applauded.

Shuncai's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's go." Wu Bai put down the teacup, stood up and said.

Then the three of them left the teahouse, rented a carriage at a dealership near Beicheng, and soon left the city.

They came to a large sweet-scented osmanthus forest and were stopped by someone.

"Idlers stop, outsiders are not allowed to enter and play here."

Wu Bai and the others got off the carriage and explained, "We're not here for fun, we're here to pick sweet-scented osmanthus."

This piece of sweet-scented osmanthus belongs to its owner, and Wu Bai and the others knew this, so they didn't force their way in.

When the other party heard Wu Bai and the others explain their intentions, their expressions gradually relaxed, and they said, "If that's the case, then come with me!"

The three of them followed each other to the small house on the right side of the osmanthus grove. The other party took out three woven bamboo baskets and handed them to them, reminding them: "Be careful when you pick them, don't damage the osmanthus branches."

"We understand." Wu Bai and the three nodded.

Holding the basket, the three successfully entered the sweet-scented osmanthus forest.

Many people in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest are picking sweet-scented osmanthus with baskets, but most of them are wearing uniform clothes, and they are putting the picked fresh sweet-scented osmanthus into bamboo baskets.

Wu Bai stopped in front of an osmanthus tree that had never been picked before, and began to pick it.

In order not to damage the osmanthus twigs, the osmanthus osmanthus Wu Bai on the high place didn't care about them, and only rushed to the osmanthus flowers that he could easily pick.

Before sunset, Wu Bai and the others stopped picking and left the osmanthus forest with their bamboo basket full of osmanthus.

The man who stopped them led them to the small house again, Wu Bai and the others handed each other the bamboo baskets, and the other weighed them.

After paying the money, Wu Bai and the others took the sweet-scented osmanthus into the carriage and returned to the city.

Seeing them coming back with so many sweet-scented osmanthus, Wu's mother asked in surprise, "Where did you get so many sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"We went out of the city to pick them." Wu Bai explained.

"What are you doing picking osmanthus?" Mother Wu asked curiously.

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so these sweet-scented osmanthus flowers can be made into mooncakes." Wu Bai said with a smile.

Mother Wu couldn't help but said: "There are so many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, you can't use them up to make mooncakes?"

Wu Bai smiled and said, "You can dry the sweet-scented osmanthus and make tea if you can't use it up."

"That's true." Mother Wu nodded.

Then Wu Bai and the others took the sweet-scented osmanthus to the kitchen and put them away, and told the cook what the sweet-scented osmanthus was for.

The next day, Wu Yuanliang tasted the mooncakes in his hand and found that the taste was different from before. He asked curiously, "This year's mooncakes are extraordinarily sweet. What's the matter?"

Mother Wu replied with a smile: "The stuffing in this moon cake is made of sweet-scented osmanthus, which is naturally sweeter."

"Osmanthus stuffing? Why do you think of using sweet-scented osmanthus as stuffing?" Wu Yuanliang continued to ask.

"Brother Bai and Zimo went out of the city yesterday to pick a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus and came back. They said they wanted to make mooncakes. No, you can eat them now." Mother Wu explained.

"Young people have a lot of ideas, and they come up with so many tricks when eating moon cakes." Wu Yuanliang said with emotion.

"The child will not live with us in the future, so let's make trouble now. I only hope that Brother Bai can live so comfortably in Fencheng in the future." Mother Wu sighed.

Wu Yuanliang said with relief: "I think Zimo is very kind to Brother Bai, he will definitely not bully Brother Bai, so you can relax!"

"By the way, how did Brother Bai go with what he told you a few days ago?" Mother Wu asked, changing the subject.

"Everything is ready, and we can send people to Fencheng tomorrow." Wu Yuanliang replied.

"That's good. Let our family help with the establishment of a water army in Fencheng. It's good to wipe out those water bandits as soon as possible. In this way, Brother Bai will live in Fencheng in the future. I will feel more at ease." Mother Wu said with a sigh of relief.

"What Madam said is very true, those things outside of the body are more important than the safety of Brother Bai." Wu Yuanliang nodded.

In the evening, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo sat in the courtyard and watched the moon with wine.

The two chatted until late at night and the moon fell before returning to their rooms to rest.

……

early spring

Holding up the letter in his hand, Xiao Zimo said happily to Wu Bai: "Brother Bai, my father sent me a letter."

"Really? What did uncle say in the letter?" Wu Bai asked.

"Father said he would send someone to pick me up." Xiao Zimo replied.

"Did uncle mention the water bandits?" Wu Bai asked.

"Speaking of which, the water bandits in Fencheng are no longer a thing. Most of the dens have been destroyed by the water army, and only a small number of water bandits are still fleeing." Xiao Zimo said happily.

Wu Bai was equally happy and said, "That's good."

"Brother Bai, the person my father sent to pick me up will arrive in Yancheng in half a month." Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai with some reluctance.

Seeing him like this, Wu Bai took out a sachet from his pocket and handed it to him.

Xiao Zimo took the sachet and smelled it, and said, "It smells so good."

"It contains dried osmanthus flowers. There are still some osmanthus flowers we picked before, so I put them in and sewed them into this sachet. I planned to give it to you on the day you left." Wu Bai explained.

"I like it very much." Xiao Zimo carefully hung the sachet on his waist.

Half a month later, the men sent by Xiao's father arrived at Wu's house smoothly to pick up Xiao Zimo and Shuncai.

On the second day, Wu Bai subconsciously came to the guest house, looking at the empty guest house, he realized that Xiao Zimo had left Yancheng.

Wu Yuanliang and Wu's mother were a little worried about each other when they saw that their little brother had returned to his former demure appearance.

"Brother Bai, your cousin is visiting our house today, so go out and meet him!" Mother Wu persuaded.

Wu Bai nodded and said, "Okay."

In the hall, Xia Wenbin saw Wu Bai coming in, and said with a smile: "Cousin, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Wu Bai asked.

"I met a little brother recently, and I want to ask him out to go shopping, but his family rules are strict, and he won't allow him to go out easily, can you help me find a way to ask him out?" Xia Wenbin begged.

Hearing this, Wu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since cousin found me, he must have a solution, why don't you tell me and listen."

"My cousin is really smart. I think you ask him out in your own name, so that his family won't stop him from going out." Xia Wenbin said his way.

"But this is not a long-term solution after all. If my cousin really likes the other party, you can ask your uncle and aunt to come to propose marriage. In this way, you can ask the other party out in a legitimate way without ruining the other party's reputation." Wu Bai pointed out. .

"Thank you cousin for reminding me, I understand." Xia Wenbin cupped his hands.

Immediately afterwards, he left Wu's house in a hurry.

When Wu's mother learned that Xia Wenbin had left, she found Wu Bai and asked, "Why did your cousin leave? I'm going to ask him to take you out for a stroll."

"Cousin has more important things to do." Wu Bai replied.

"whats the matter?"

"It's a lifelong event."
