Chapter 141: Coming Back 4/4

Guo Ying was delighted, “Brother Li, if I practice more, one day my handwriting will surpass yours!”

Li Qingzhi: “…” That was impossible!

Guo Ying’s handwriting was improving, and so was his. His progress was definitely faster than Guo Ying’s.

But he wouldn’t crush the little guy’s spirits.

While Guo Ying was happily chatting, on the other side, Mrs. Guo learned that her son had gone to Mr. Chang’s private room. Thinking about how her son had admired Mr. Chang when they talked at breakfast a few days ago…

Mrs. Guo felt even more uncomfortable.

Mother Yang was also angry, “Those shameless people, wanting to attach themselves to our family, will resort to any means… And the young master is also foolish, actually being deceived!”

“Mother Yang, Mr. Chang has been coaxing Ying’er, even inviting his daughter over… What should I do?” Mrs. Guo asked.

Mother Yang said, “Madam, why not… arrange a marriage for the young master?”

“I’d like to, but my parents have spoken. They’ll decide Ying’er’s marriage…”

Mrs. Guo felt even more unlucky.

But in reality, she was living quite well.

She didn’t care for the food sold at the small stalls, but many people who came to the lantern festival were just there to take a look around and were unwilling to spend even a penny.

The female workers at Jin Xiaoye Embroidery Shop were also unwilling to spend money. When they encountered something they really wanted to eat… they pooled their money, bought some, and then shared it, just to get a taste.

Mrs. Guo’s life was something they didn’t even dare to dream of.

And the female workers at Jin Xiaoye Embroidery Shop were not even the worst off.

While everyone was at the temple fair, a fleet of ships entered Chongcheng County.

“Old Wu, we’ve finally arrived in Chongcheng County! I envy you. Tonight, you can go home and sleep well!” Someone in the Shen family’s caravan stood on their own ship’s bow and shouted to Wu Baichuan.

“Wait until tomorrow, and you’ll be able to go home too,” Wu Baichuan replied with a smile.

Wu Baichuan was in a very good mood, not just because he had made a lot of money this time he went to the capital, but also because he had established a connection with Li Qingzhi.

As long as he maintained a good relationship with Li Qingzhi, his future would surely be bright.

The entire fleet of ships docked at the dock in Chongcheng County.

The caravan was heading to the provincial capital, but it was too late today, so they planned to rest for the night and continue their journey the next day.

Actually, if Wu Baichuan hadn’t wanted to get home quickly, they would have stopped to rest in the previous county town.

Everyone was preparing to dock and rest when they suddenly realized something was wrong: “What’s going on? Why is there no one on the dock?”

“It’s midsummer. Shouldn’t there be many people here to cool off at this time?”

“Look at those houses in the city. Almost none of them have lights on!”

“Where are the people of Chongcheng County?”

In winter nights, it was normal for there to be few people on the dock.

But not in summer!

On such hot days, many people would come out to cool off, especially in the cramped streets of southern cities…

At this time of year, the empty dock was usually crowded with people, and there would even be vendors selling things.

Why was there no one today?

Could something have happened in Chongcheng County?

Wu Baichuan was extremely worried, so he quickly got off the ship and started looking for people.

Fortunately, he soon found several strong men who usually helped people move things and earn money on the dock.

Wu Baichuan anxiously asked about the situation, and one of the strong men said, “Today, everyone went to the new dock to see the lantern festival, so there’s no one here.”

Wu Baichuan naturally knew about the new dock. “Everyone is at the new dock?”

“Yeah! Most of the people in the county are there!”

Wu Baichuan returned to the shore and saw that the others in the fleet had also disembarked. “Old Wu, what’s going on in Chongcheng County?”

“They said everyone in the city went to the new dock to see the lantern festival.”

“The new dock? Lantern festival?” These people were curious.

The shopkeeper leading them said, “Should we go take a look too?”

“Old Wu, can you show us the way?”

“No need for Old Wu to show us the way. I know the place. It’s just a little further ahead, and it’s the new dock of Chongcheng County, I saw it on the way to the capital.”

As they talked, they all planned to go to the new dock to see what was happening.

Wu Baichuan was also curious. “I’ll go take a look too.”

So, this fleet that had just returned from the capital set sail together towards the new dock.

From afar, they saw the lights at the new dock. “So many lights, it really is a lantern festival!”

“We’ve been rushing all the way. I want to go down and take a look.”

Jin Xiaoye Embroidery Shop had always followed the trend, so they also hung some lanterns to decorate their shop.

During that time, Li Qingzhi brought Gou Ying here every day, and he even gave some ideas and personally made some lanterns, which looked really beautiful.

However, although they decorated the shop beautifully, they didn’t open for business.

Selling braised food late at night was strange, and it didn’t seem necessary to sell anything else either.

Chang Cui fell asleep, so Chang Zhan rested with her in the shop. While resting, he heard the laborers in the shop saying that the Shen family’s fleet had returned from the capital.

Chang Zhan walked out while carrying Chang Cui.

Was his brother back? He wanted to see his brother!

On the other side, Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian also heard the news of the Shen family’s fleet returning.

Li Qingzhi learned some information about the capital from Governor Zhang, but it wasn’t very detailed. He told Zhu Qian, then got up and walked out, planning to go to the dock to take a look.

At this time, Wu Baichuan and his group had already disembarked.

Then they saw the beautiful lanterns and various kinds of food.

They hadn’t eaten anything good on the ship, so without thinking, they rushed towards the lantern festival.

The shopkeepers on the fleet had earned quite a bit, and even the servants or hired boatmen who made the trip had earned a lot of money, so they began to buy things right away.

Some common people were initially reluctant to spend money on food, but when they saw these people buying so much, they gritted their teeth and started buying things too.

The business at those stalls suddenly boomed.

Wu Baichuan bought twenty pieces of fried stinky tofu and poured the homemade sweet sauce made by the stall owner on top before eating.

The sweet sauce in Chongcheng County was made from flour and wasn’t very sweet, with a bit of soy sauce added… Anyway, the taste of sweet sauce made by each family was different.

The dried stinky tofu was the same; the taste varied depending on the household that made it.

Wu Baichuan felt that the dried stinky tofu he bought today suited his taste especially well. As he was eating, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Turning around, he saw Li Qingzhi, and immediately put on a pleasing smile, “Mr. Li, long time no see!”

“Long time no see… Where’s Shopkeeper Duan?” Li Qingzhi asked.

Wu Baichuan replied, “Mr. Li, Shopkeeper Duan… no, Shopkeeper Duan has gained the favor of Master Lu and will stay in the capital from now on.”

Li Qingzhi was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, Wu Baichuan continued, “Mr. Li, Shopkeeper Duan asked me to bring back quite a few things…”
