Seeing this, Fengjiu took out a box of cakes from her space and walked up to the child and handed it to him: "Here, this is for you." She bought these as dry food for the journey, but she didn't eat much on the way.
"How can I accept this?" The old woman declined quickly. Looking at the exquisite box of pastries and smelling the fragrance of the pastries, she dared not accept it.
Ordinary people would not eat such things, nor would they dare to ask for them.
"It's okay, it's for the kids, take it!" She squatted down and opened the box, revealing the exquisite pastries inside: "It's delicious, take it!"
The little boy looked at the cakes in the box with shining eyes. He couldn't help but put his little finger in his mouth, and his eyes couldn't move away from the exquisite cakes.
"Sir, this..." The wealthy families who passed by in the past looked down on them, the villagers, and never gave them anything like this. For a moment, the old woman didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, it's just a box of cakes." She stuffed the cakes into the child's hand and said, "You'd better take it."
The little boy held the box of pastries that Fengjiu had stuffed into his mouth, and couldn't help but smile with joy on his innocent face: "Thank you, big brother."
"Call him young master." the old woman said hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir." The child said crisply, and ran to the back with the cakes in his arms, shouting, "Grandpa, grandpa, there are delicious cakes..."
"Young man, eat first. There's more if it's not enough." The old woman said, and then walked inside.
Fengjiu sat down and drank millet porridge, accompanied by side dishes and pumpkin cakes. It was a simple and refreshing breakfast. After breakfast, she rested in the back room vacated by the old woman, planning to take a nap before leaving at noon.
Until, around noon, the old woman came and knocked on the door.
"Sir, lunch is ready, get up and eat!"
The door opened and Fengjiu, who had just had a nap, walked out. She was about to leave, but at the invitation of the old man, she sat down to have a meal and chatted with them for a while. After the meal, she stood up and said goodbye.
"Don't worry, old man. If I see your son, I will definitely convey his message to you." She rode on Lao Bai's back, waved to the old woman, and left while holding the reins.
"Grandma, look." The little boy came out with a few gold coins: "The big brother gave them to me."
The old woman looked at the gold coins and took them with trembling hands. She moved her lips, but her eyes were slightly red. She remained silent for a long time...
She quickened her pace and arrived at Shunyan City in the evening. She rode into the city on a white horse. Her handsome face, outstanding temperament, and the red dress were extremely dazzling. As soon as she entered the city, she attracted many people's attention.
She was used to this kind of goal, so she rode on Lao Bai's back and got off the horse when she arrived in front of an inn. The waiter in the inn came out and helped her lead Lao Bai to the stable at the back.
"Waiter, come to the upper room." Feng Jiu called out and walked upstairs, saying, "Bring a few more of their specialties and a pot of wine."
"Okay, Sir, please come this way." The waiter led the way and opened the upper room before pouring her a cup of tea: "Sir, have a sip of tea first, the food and wine will be here soon."
The waiter left, and soon the wine and food were brought up and placed on the table. When he was about to leave, he was called back.
