After a while, Xing Er came back excitedly and reported: "Miss, they are packing up. They packed up the whole table according to the banquet standard and let Qing Tong take it away."
"Where are you packing?" Han Yuqing asked curiously, "Besides my father and brother who have traveled a long way and haven't arrived yet, are there any other guests who haven't arrived yet?"
"I also asked around, and the guests are all here."
Han Yuqing suddenly thought of Xia Qianqian. Her brows furrowed and she asked, "Did the carriage leave the town and go towards Yangliu Village?"
"Yes." Xing'er glanced at Han Yuqing's expression and whispered, "Miss, if you pack it up and give it to Xia Qianqian, then things will be easier."
Han Yuqing nodded slowly: "Xing'er, ask Aunt Song who is beside your aunt to go after Qing Tong and see where he went. Remember, don't alert the enemy and make sure to get evidence."
"yes."
As the cold wind blew, the dead willow tree on the right side of the restaurant swayed its dry branches, waiting for spring.
"After enduring the cold winter, spring will arrive as expected." Han Yuqing smiled gently and turned around happily, "Rui'er, let's go back and have a drink!"
———
In Yangliu Village, Xia Qianqian was still waiting for news from Gu Changsheng. I left a note for Gu Changsheng yesterday, so he should reply, right
But it’s almost noon, why is there still no news
After lunch, Xia Qianqian waited anxiously for the letter. She waited at home for a while, then walked for a while at the entrance of the village... She repeated this process no less than five times. Qin asked curiously, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you today? You look listless."
"No." Xia Qianqian shook her head, and habitually took out the enamel hand warmer and held it in her arms, stroking it from time to time.
After seeing Gu Changsheng coughing up blood yesterday, she has been in a bad mood. She even dreamed of Gu Yanjing at night! It was really terrible.
"Qianqian, are you injured?" Qin reached out to feel Xia Qianqian's body, "Where are you injured? Is it serious?"
"I'm not injured, I'm just tired and don't feel like working today."
"Then why do you always go for a walk in the village?"
Xia Qianqian: “…” Was she so obvious about it
"Qianqian, are you thinking about someone?" Qin asked tentatively. Her daughter had been far away from home and naturally knew many people, so she might have fallen in love with someone.
"No." Xia Qianqian shook her head vigorously, trying to convince Qin as well as herself.
Qin Shi didn't see her daughter's panic, so she believed it and was quite disappointed: "Qianqian, you are not young anymore. If you meet a man who suits your heart..."
"Mom, why are you talking about this again? I haven't even made any porcelain yet. How can I start a family without building a career?" Xia Qianqian interrupted the topic hastily.
Qin was both amused and angry: "That's the standard for men..."
"I am a man, but I was born with the wrong body," said Xia Qianqian.
Qin: “…”
The sun gradually set, Xia Qianqian sighed, and looked out of the fence with melancholy. It seemed that there was no good news from Gu Changsheng, how serious was his illness
Sigh—
Just then, a carriage stopped outside the house.
Xia Qianqian's eyes lit up, and when she saw who was driving the car, she ran out excitedly: "Qingtong, how is Gu Changsheng?"
"Miss Xia." Qing Tong jumped out of the car. "Miss Xia, don't worry. Our young master is fine. He got better after returning home yesterday. It was the shopkeeper who didn't pass on the message in time, which made Miss Xia worried."
"Oh." Xia Qianqian patted her chest with relief, "I'm glad he's okay. I was so worried."
