On the bustling street, his voice was very low and disappeared in the noisy noise, but Xia Qianqian still heard his words clearly.

I don’t know what kind of stimulation this Mr. Hu received.

Xia Qianqian looked as usual and emphasized: "I am Xia Qianqian."

"How is that possible?" He didn't believe it, so he took a few steps forward, and then a smell of alcohol rushed towards him.

Xia Qianqian frowned, Yuanbao covered his nose, his features wrinkled together, "Sister, he is drunk."

"I'm not drunk."

Hu Tang stepped forward quickly and couldn't help but grab Xia Qianqian's arm. A pair of eyes lingered on her face, "I have imagined countless times, what would the face under that mask look like?"

He actually stretched out his hand, and when his fingers were about to touch her cheek, he stopped again, "I didn't expect you to be a woman."

He started talking nonsense again.

Xia Qianqian asked with a straight face: "You came out today without your entourage."

"When we two met, I never brought any entourage."

"Then you're so drunk, I'll take you back."

"In the past, I always sent her back." Hu Tang was extremely sad, "But every time, you asked me to send you to the river."

"Are you the crucian carp spirit in the Fu'an River? Why did you come to provoke me? After provoking me, you disappeared so quietly."

Hu Tang began to ramble on, all about his past affairs with Lan Yu.

Blurred eyes, vague words, confused rhetoric, and finally, he rushed over and hugged Xia Qianqian.

Yuan Bao exclaimed in fright, pulling his hand and scolding him, "Let go, let go of my sister."

The commotion here attracted passers-by to look sideways, watch, and discuss.

"Relax, don't mess around!""

Xia Qianqian really wanted to throw him away on the street, but he was very drunk.

Xia Qianqian held him up with one hand, "Yuanbao, let's go to the front and find a place for him to rest."

The three of them walked forward with support, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally found an inn.

The waiter in the lobby stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Girl, what are you..."

"Looking for a nice private room."

"Girl, please come with me."

After following the boy into the guest room, Xia Qianqian threw the person on her shoulder onto the bed.

Hu Tang was lying on the couch, dishonestly, grabbing Xia Qianqian's sleeve and not letting go, "Lanyu, I regret so much, why didn't I rush there in time that night."

"I warned you not to act recklessly, but why didn't you listen?"

"You know? I had a hard time looking for you. I...I thought you were dead for a while."

Yuan Bao was frightened by his drunken and crazy look, "Sister, who is he talking about?"

Xia Qianqian was speechless and threw away his hand, "He is talking nonsense. Did Yuan Bao see it? There is no wine. Don't drink too much. It's not good to be drunk and crazy."

Yuan Bao seemed to understand, but looked at Hu Tang's uncomfortable look, with pity shining in his eyes.

Xia Qianqian covered him with a quilt and said to herself: "Have a good sleep and go home after you wake up."

She turned around to leave, but he pounced on her again.

His head rubbed against her shoulder for a while, and the strong smell of alcohol made Xia Qianqian very resistant.

She struggled to push him away, but he held on to her, "When I knew your identity, I was always worried that you would be caught by him. But today I learned that you and his fingerprints,

It’s actually different.”

Hu Tang raised his head and looked at Xia Qianqian with a pair of blurred eyes, "You are not her, then where did she go?"

Fingerprints don’t match?

Xia Qianqian's heart suddenly dropped.

Sure enough, this morning, officers and soldiers stopped at the entrance of the village and asked everyone to press their fingerprints.

So much trouble was taken to collect everyone's fingerprints, but it turned out that it was just to get her fingerprints.

Have you compared her fingerprints with those of the Jade-Faced Immortal?

It's a cuttlefish.

She remembered that today, he was still sitting on the podium, explaining the "History of the Daqian Kingdom" to her calmly, but behind his back he had already suspected her and plotted against her.

For some reason, Xia Qianqian's heart was suddenly filled with panic.

After so many times of being alone together, the items she gave him had her fingerprints on them, but why did she go to such trouble to do this?

"Lanyu, tell me, what's going on?" He finally closed his eyes, but he still kept talking endlessly.

Xia Qianqian sat on the soft stool beside her, her mind was filled with all kinds of information and she couldn't figure it out.

Yuan Bao stepped forward and pushed, "Sister, what's wrong with him?"

Xia Qianqian came to her senses and took her hand out of his arm, "Maybe he had a dream and couldn't distinguish between reality and dream for a while."

She held Yuan Bao's hand and said, "The sun is setting, let's go home."

After leaving the inn, Xia Qianqian paid the room fee to the boy and told him to pay attention to the young master in the guest room. Then she and Yuanbao rushed to the west gate, hired a carriage, and returned to Fu'an Village.

Li Yunniang has already prepared dinner.

Boiled millet porridge, a plate of chopped pickles, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of fried tofu.

When he saw them coming in, he greeted them and said excitedly: "Qianqian, mother, I heard from Uncle Wang that your business at the entrance of the college is good today."

"Yeah!" Xia Qianqian replied while washing her hands: "I want to make some sugar cookies to sell tomorrow, so I can change my style."

"Okay!" Li Yunniang's eyes lit up and she said, "Qianqian, this morning, many people from other villages heard that the tofu here is delicious and came to buy it. My business is already good today."

As she spoke, she took out a bunch of copper coins from her sleeves and handed them over, "Look, I've earned five hundred coins."

There was a strange luster in her eyes that she had never seen before.

In the past, Li Yunniang made a living by washing clothes for others. She worked hard and washed a large basin of clothes to earn ten cents.

These copper plates are all hard-earned money.

Some owners were easy to talk to, so I gave them to them at that time.

Some homeowners like to renege on their debts. They clearly agreed to pay ten cents before doing the laundry and spent a long time working on it. After the laundry was done, they complained that the clothes were not washed properly and said that the clothes were damaged.

They always find many reasons why they don't want to give copper coins, but in the end they end up giving them four or five cents out of pity.

And she couldn't speak out or complain, for fear that next time, she wouldn't even be able to take on the five-penny job of starching clothes.

But things are different now.

As long as you make tofu at home, people will naturally come to your door and there will be business.

Such a good thing has never happened before.

She handed the copper plate to Xia Qianqian, but she pushed it away, "Mom, you keep the money you earn."

"I have it!"

Li Yunniang lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "You have forgotten that the one hundred taels of silver from last time was still left with me. The family has been spending a lot of money recently, but they did not spend ten taels of silver. Instead, they still left one tael of silver behind."<

/p>

Xia Qianqian didn't dare tell Li Yunniang that she still had two thousand taels of silver left here.

Cuiyu gave her four boxes of rice, flour and oilcloth. She was afraid that thieves would miss them, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

She did not accept her coins, but said as if unintentionally: "Mom, we went out this morning. A group of officers and soldiers registered their identities and collected fingerprints at the entrance of the village. If they are still here tomorrow, I will get up early."

"Tomorrow probably won't come." Li Yunniang said firmly.
