At Zhuxian Academy, the Qingzheng carriage had just stopped. Xia Qianqian jumped out of the carriage and looked up. In front of the "Jiafa" shop, surrounded by guests, Li Yunniang was busy doing business.

Seeing her through a gap in the crowd, Li Yunniang looked excited, put down her spoon, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran over.

Who knows, in the side room, someone is faster than her.

Xi Yalan rushed forward at a sprint speed of 100 meters, hugged Xia Qianqian in her arms, and said sadly: "You are finally back. It's great that you are back."

Li Yunniang, who was running, looked at the two people hugging and crying in front of her, standing in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

"Dean Xi!" Xia Qianqian looked at the flash of pain in Li Yunniang's eyes, and pushed Xi Yalan away awkwardly, "I'm fine. It's okay!"

"Mom!" she called Li Yunniang, "How are you doing lately? How is the business in the shop? Have you missed me?"

Li Yunniang moved forward, looking at Xi Yalan with her eyes, and she was a little more inquisitive about her unusual behavior.

Xi Yalan listened to her daughter calling other people's mothers, and her heart felt like a knife.

But at this time, if she wanted to meet her daughter, she couldn't be too anxious.

She restrained herself from losing her temper, raised her sleeves to wet her eyes with tears, and said with a smile: "I heard that Qianqian was in Fanshan, and I was worried for a while. When I saw her back, I was happy for a while, and that's why..."<

/p>

Her explanation is a bit far-fetched.

After all, even though Xia Qianqian is a student of Zhuxian College, she is deeply liked by Dean Xi.

But this kind of love can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It has gone beyond the ordinary master-disciple relationship.

Li Yunniang felt all kinds of emotions in her heart. She twitched her lips and said with a smile: "How could I blame Dean Xi? Qianqian is lucky to be favored by you."

"Qianqian, I heard that Lord Cao captured Fanshan?" Li Yunniang asked with concern: "Have you ever seen your father?"

I've seen it before.

But it’s better not to see a father like that.

Xia Qianqian shook her head, "I have been at the rear, and I don't know much about the fighting in the front. This morning, Brother Geng sent me back again."

It means that she has no chance to understand.

Li Yunniang was a little disappointed, but she was in a good mood, "I used to place my hope of finding your father in Fanshan. If he is not in Fanshan, he will definitely be somewhere nearby."

Li Yunniang smiled and said, "He is a very good person. He has never disappointed me. Therefore, he must have had a compelling reason to leave me."

"And I will definitely wait for him to come back."

Li Yunniang's unconditional trust in Xia Chi made Xia Qianqian feel uncomfortable.

Why is it that the Xia Chi in her eyes and the Xia Chi that Li Yunniang described to her are two completely different people?

"If he misses you, he will definitely come back." Xia Qianqian comforted.

But there was slander in his heart, Xia Chi was seriously injured, and now he was living in the border city of Vine, where he was caught between life and death.

To Li Yuniang, such news is worse than no news at all.

"I didn't see Xia Chi!" Xi Yalan on the side was also disappointed.

Now, the person who can prove that the person in front of me is his daughter is none other than Xia Chi.

But I can’t see Xia Chi, what should I do?

"Dean Xi, do you also know my man?" Li Yunniang caught Xi Yalan's words very keenly.

"Ah?" Xi Yalan glanced at Xia Qianqian, then looked back at Li Yunniang, and said truthfully: "It doesn't count as acquaintance. I just saw him from a distance during a Spring Festival banquet."

Spring Festival?

The spring outing banquet that Mrs. Pingyang Hou can attend is not accessible to ordinary people.

Xia Qianqian keenly smelled something unusual, "Xia Chi is just a doctor from the countryside, how can he attend the same party as his wife?"

"This..." At this moment, Xi Yalan realized that the two people in front of her had no idea of ​​Xia Chi's true identity.

She was a little hesitant, wondering whether she should tell them the whole story.

While he was hesitating, Uncle Wang came driving a bullock cart.

There is still some distance from the "Jiafa" shop, and the speed of the old scalper can't keep up with his hurry.

He jumped down from the shaft of the car, trotted forward, and said breathlessly: "Xia's wife, something is not right."

His arrival suddenly diverted everyone's attention.

Li Yunniang stepped forward and asked with concern: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the milk!"

"There's something wrong with the milk?" Li Yunniang said in disbelief: "That cattle farmer is your close friend, what could happen?"

"The cow is dead!"

Uncle Wang slapped his thigh and became so angry that veins appeared on his forehead, "Since yesterday morning, that cow started not eating or drinking. Something is wrong."

"Lao Tiantou called a veterinarian and took medicine. Unexpectedly, I had more gas coming out this morning and less gas coming in."

"When I went to get milk, Lao Tiantou's family gathered in the yard, hugging a cow and howling loudly."

"Their family's livelihood depends entirely on that cow. Now the cow is dead."

"The cows that died of illness not only lost the income from selling milk, but also the beef could not be sold according to the law, so they had to find a place to bury them."

"Hey! It's a good cow. After serving it for several years, it finally gave birth to a cowboy. With milk, I saw a little profit. Now the bamboo basket is in vain."

"I really don't know how my family will live in the future!" As he spoke, Uncle Wang's eyes became moist.

Lao Tiantou is his lifelong friend.

He is living a better life now. He originally wanted to win over his friend, but he never thought that within a few days, the cow would die.

While Li Yunniang felt sorry for the sudden death of the cow, she jumped to her feet and asked: "What should I do if there is no milk?"

She was at a loss and said: "A few days ago, the Li family ordered more than ten cups of pearl milk tea every day and paid in advance every time. Yesterday, they ordered a hundred cups at once and paid one tael of silver in advance.

Let me get ready. Someone will be sent to pick it up in the afternoon. But there is no milk..."

"If there is no milk..." Xia Qianqian continued: "Return the money to them, and give them a few cups of milk tea as an apology."

"No, no, no!" Li Yunniang waved her hands repeatedly, "When I return it, it will not be one tael of silver, but one hundred taels of silver."

"One hundred taels?" Xia Qianqian raised her voice and repeated.

"It's one hundred taels!"

Li Yunniang shrank her neck and said in a timid voice, "The servant was afraid that I would not keep my word, so he asked me to sign a note. If the milk tea cannot be delivered as scheduled, he will pay a hundred times the amount of one tael of silver."

"Mom, do you dare to sign such an overbearing clause?" Xia Qianqian had a different understanding of Li Yunniang's psychological quality.

"You also said that people should be trustworthy. I don't want a servant to underestimate our shop. Besides, I am sure that we can provide a sufficient amount of milk tea. So, it doesn't matter whether you sign or not."<
