Gu Yundong asked, âAre you looking for me?â
âYes, come with me to the study.â
Gu Yundong stood up suspiciously and followed Qin Wenzheng.
When she reached the study, she saw him take out two letters. One of them had been opened, and the other was still intact.
Qin Wenzheng pointed at the opened letter and said, âThis is General Zhaoâs reply. It came from the capital. He said that your father did help him catch the bandits back then, but unfortunately, he was transferred back to the capital later. He originally wanted to bring your father along, but your father wanted to stay in Qingâan Prefecture to look for you, so the two of them parted ways.â
Even though she was mentally prepared, Gu Yundong was still a little disappointed.
Qin Wenzheng said, âBefore General Zhao left, he lent Gu Dajiang 30 taels of silver, so his life shouldnât be a problem. However, ever since General Zhao left, he hasnât contacted your father again.â
Gu Yundong exhaled slowly. âGot it. Is there any news from the Xuanhe Prefecture?â
Qin Wenzheng shook his head regretfully. âNo.â
Then, she pushed another letter over. âThis is from Dr. Song. He has already arrived in the capital and entered the Imperial Hospital again.â
Gu Yundong quickly took the letter and opened it.
Song Dejiangâs letter was also very simple. He said that he had entered the Imperial Hospital and had also searched the Imperial Pharmacy. Unfortunately, there was no Bai Muzi. However, he had heard from another imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital that there seemed to be one in the warehouse of the Wanqing Prefecture. If it was convenient, she could see if she could buy it.
A smile appeared on Gu Yundongâs face as she became slightly excited.
Qin Wenzheng took a sip of tea. Seeing this, he couldnât help but raise his eyebrows. âWhy? Is there good news?â
Gu Yundong nodded repeatedly. âYes, Doctor Song said that there is Bai Muzi in Wanqing Prefecture.â
âSo, you plan to go to Wanqing Prefecture personally?â
âThatâs right.â
âYouâre really good at traveling. How long have you been back?â Qin Wenzheng muttered. âWhen are you preparing to set off?â
âAfter Yunshuâs birthday in a few days.â Speaking of the birthday, Gu Yundong suddenly remembered her business here.
She put away the letter and asked Qin Wenzheng if she could invite Yunshuâs classmates to Yongfu Village.
Qin Wenzheng did not care. âWeâll have to ask the other students.â He got someone to bring Gu Yunshu and Bian Yuanzhi over.
The two of them were puzzled at first until they saw Gu Yundong and heard that it was about his birthday celebration. Gu Yunshu almost jumped up.
He could even get all his classmates to go to his house.
He could not wait to run back to the school and hurriedly invited everyone. After everyone agreed, he ran back to Gu Yundong.
The students in the school waited for him to leave. Among them, more than ten of them had strange expressions.
Yi Junkun saw this and called all of them out. He walked to the side and said in a low voice, âYunshu invited us out of goodwill. This time, we canât be as rude as when we visited the Cheng Ying family last time.â
Everyone nodded. âWe wonât.â
âI really didnât do it on purpose last time. It was my first time going to a village. I didnât know that the house was so dilapidated, so I let it slip. This time, I wonât make a fuss and hurt their self-esteem.â
âYes, we know what weâre doing.â
These ten or so people were all students from the county city, and two of them were from the prefectural city. After all, Qin Wenzhengâs reputation was not well-known. Most of the people who knew of his achievements were from the county city.
However, these children had almost never been to the villages below. The one who had left the deepest impression on them was Gao Chengyingâs family. In the end, they did not pay attention and said something embarrassing..
