At lunch time, it was Magistrate Fang who accompanied Song Yichen and the others.
Fang Shaojie caught a cold last night. He woke up this morning with vomiting and diarrhea. Now he can't even get out of bed.
When Song Yichen heard his words, he sneered in his heart.
This was to deliberately let his son pretend to be sick so that when they left, he would have an excuse not to see them off.
He pretended to be concerned and asked: "Uncle Fang, is my brother-in-law okay? I'll go check on him after dinner."
Magistrate Fang sighed, "The doctor came this morning and said he might have to stay in bed for a few days.
Yichen, you can play for a few more days before leaving. When your brother-in-law is well, ask him to take you back. With him following you, your aunt and I will feel more at ease. "
Song Yichen said in embarrassment: "Uncle Fang, I want to set off the day after tomorrow. The journey from here to Fengcheng will take ten or twenty days. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to catch up with my second sister's wedding day."
"Hey, what should we do? Your brother-in-law is a loser. He ate something randomly. The doctor said he's afraid he'll have to stay in bed for a few days."
The magistrate was scolding his son, but in his heart he was calculating which of his confidants he would send to eradicate the problem?
Song Yichen said hurriedly: "Uncle Fang, you must not blame your brother-in-law. Otherwise, my eldest sister and I will walk slowly first, and we will chase after our brother-in-law when he is well."
Magistrate Fang nodded helplessly, "That's the only way. I will send more people to escort you when the time comes. I will definitely not delay you in sending your sister off to get married."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang."
I’ve decided to leave the day after tomorrow.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong planned to visit their uncle at night. Explore the magistrate's warehouse again and pick up some items on your way out.
They were busy helping the magistrate with household affairs, so it wouldn't be too much to accept some thank you gifts, right?
Since people don’t take the initiative to give it, then they should work hard and get it themselves!
Song Yichen and Ye Mingxuan went to Song Jingyan's yard to talk to her.
Ye Yutong entered the space under the cover of Ping An. I talked with my second brother in detail about what happened in the past two days.
Let him prepare things for visiting Uncle Li Yunze at night and food for the road.
After coming out of the space, the two went back to the house to sleep and didn't get up until dinner time.
Ye Mingzhe prepared three carts of food in the space.
There were fifty chickens, ducks and geese each, one hundred rabbits, four pigs and eight sheep.
One thousand catties each of fine rice and white flour, one hundred catties each of mung beans, red beans, soybeans, and peanuts.
There were two large baskets each of eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, as well as apples, pears, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables, which could hardly fit in the three cars.
Seeing that there were three large carts full of things, he went to dig two large ginseng and a purple Ganoderma lucidum in the ground to help his uncle in law replenish his health.
He had heard about it from his brother-in-law last year. He admired and felt sorry for him because of the hardships his in-laws had suffered since childhood, so he prepared today's gift with great care.
I remembered that I still had a lot of brown sugar cakes made with well water a few days ago, so I went to the basement to pack another bag.
At night, Ye Yutong and Li Yunze quietly left the house and found a remote place to enter the space.
Looking at the three carts full of things, as well as the two chubby ginseng and a purple Ganoderma lucidum on the table.
Ye Yutong thought to himself, the second brother is so generous, he is even willing to give away Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
The medicinal materials in the space are irrigated with well water, and the medicinal effects are more useful than well water.
Some time ago, my second brother stewed a pot of chicken soup with ginseng roots. After they drank it, they felt hot. Ping An's internal strength reached another level that night.
Now they all drink ginseng soup every few days, and their martial arts are improving rapidly.
Li Mingze was very moved when he saw what his second brother had carefully prepared. He cupped his hands towards Ye Mingzhe and said, "Second brother, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Mingzhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, so you should go as soon as possible. Tell your uncle in law that we will visit him when we have the opportunity in the future."
Ye Yutong looked at the three carriages and asked him with a smile, "Second brother, how can we drive these three carriages in a hurry?"
"Where's eldest brother? Why didn't you bring eldest brother here?"
Only now did Ye Mingzhe realize that his eldest brother was not there, "I thought you were going together, so I prepared three loads of stuff."
"Brother is not here."
Ye Mingzhe said hesitantly: "How about I follow?"
"No, it won't be easy to explain when the time comes."
Li Yunze thought for a moment and said, "My uncle's house is relatively remote. We can just drive the car out when we get there."
Ye Yutong looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. "Then let's go now. We have something to do later."
They had found the address Lin Zhong gave them while shopping during the day. It's a bit far from the government office, on the south street.
Most of the people living there were landowners from Jinzhou City and some small officials.
Lin Zixian bought two yards on that street, and he now lives in one of them.
He also owns several properties and shops in the mixed-race area of North Street.
Li Yunze snooped around carefully before asking Ye Yutong to bring out the three carriages.
"Tongtong, wait here, I'll knock on the door first."
"OK."
Li Yunze walked to a low-key courtyard and knocked lightly on the door a few times, and the sound of voices came from inside the door.
Ye Yutong didn't hear clearly what Li Yunze said back, but soon the door was opened, and then several men came out to help lead the carriage.
The whole process was silent and very fast.
As soon as they arrived in the yard, a man walked quickly from the backyard.
The moonlight was not very good today, so Ye Yutong only saw him tall and wearing a white robe.
Li Yunze led Ye Yutong forward, cupped his hands towards him, and shouted in a low voice: "Uncle, I brought Tongtong over to see you."
Lin Zixian came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Ping An, is it really you? Why are you here? It's so dangerous outside now. Why don't you just stay on the mountain and run around?"
Lin Cheng, who was next to him, reminded him in a low voice, "Master, let the young master enter the house first!"
"That's right, go inside, Ping An, Tongtong, you two come in quickly."
Seeing that he shouted so smoothly, Ye Yutong must have known about her marriage to Ping An.
This is a courtyard with three entrances. The guards and servants should live in the front courtyard, and Lin Zixian lives in the backyard.
He took the two of them directly to the second entrance, and three carriages were also brought over.
Candles have been lit in the room, and the two nuns are placing snacks and making tea.
Ye Yutong looked at the furnishings in the room. This should be a reception room. The furniture was arranged in a regular manner and looked very low-key.
Lin Zixian looked at the two of them and smiled: "Ping An, Tongtong, let's have some snacks first. The kitchen is already preparing meals."
Li Yunze quickly stopped him, "Uncle, there's no need to be busy. We've just had dinner. We have things to do later and we won't be able to stay here for long."
Only then did Ye Yutong see his appearance clearly. He had a tall and straight figure, sideburns like a knife cut, and eyebrows like an ink painting, which was somewhat similar to Ping An's.
Lin Zixian frowned when he heard that he was leaving soon, "Why are you so anxious? Aren't you going to stay here for a few days?"
