Chapter 635: Chapter 636: How to Have a Child (2)_1
“We’ve run into each other a few times, but we haven’t had much conversation. We’re both busy,” Sister Nan Feng said.
Indeed, both of them were busy, so Sister Nan Feng thought Wenxuan must also be very busy.
Moreover, apart from that reading meeting at the Business Association, Wenxuan did not make a point of looking for her.
“That boy truly has promise – I went to wash clothes by the river a couple of days ago, do you know what his mother said? She assured that Wenxuan will surely pass the examination with high honors, and even marry a princess afterwards! My goodness, what a bold prediction! Who would say that a princess would fall for a simple villager like him?”
Sister Nan Feng laughed, “His mother just said it out of hope, Wenxuan may not share the same sentiment. I think he has grown up a lot, he doesn’t act high and mighty like he did back in Daping Village.”
“Such is a scholar!” Aqiu shook her head, resuming her sewing of the small shoes.
Sister Nan Feng sat for a while longer before getting up to leave.
…
The following day, Sister Nan Feng joined Nan Quanyou in the vegetable field. Seeing that she had nothing better to do, and Nan Quanyou wanted her to bring some vegetables back, she came over to help.
Later on, they ran into Mrs. Sima, who called out from a distance, “Oh my, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! Is that really Feng? What brings you back all of a sudden? I ran into your father two days ago and he didn’t mention anything about this.”
“Auntie Sima, I made a sudden decision to return home last night,” Sister Nan Feng explained when Mrs. Sima had come closer. “By the way, I’ve run into Guangguang a few times in the provincial city. He’s doing well.”
Upon hearing Guangguang’s name, Mrs. Sima immediately exclaimed, “Oh, he really went to see you? Last time we visited the provincial city, we told him, if he ever needed help, he could always find you, Sister Nan Feng. He didn’t say anything at that time, that kid is really prideful.”
“Guangguang is well capable of taking care of himself in the provincial city. I also visited him once. He’s the youngest amongst all the students at his Academy, but everyone looks out for him. Don’t worry, whenever I have free time, I’ll go and check on him.”
“We appreciate your kind heart, Sister Nan Feng. Let me leave Guangguang in your care then. Oh, I also have some dried peanuts from last year, could you bring some to Guangguang when you return to the city? He’s still growing, and I heard peanuts can help with growth.”
“Sure, I’ll bring some for him,” Sister Nan Feng answered.
The following afternoon, Sister Nan Feng returned to the provincial city.
Influenced by the situation elsewhere, the pier in Heping County was notably deserted. Upon reaching the city, Sister Nan Feng delivered the vegetables she brought from home to Xiaoqing at Spikenard Square.
When the owner was not at home, she would cook and share meals with Xiaoqing and Xiaolun.
Although there were no mountain bandits in the provincial city, the streets were still empty as many people were afraid to go out, making business slow.
One morning, Sister Nan Feng went to see Guangguang.
It was the same gatekeeper as before. Sister Nan Feng greeted him, but due to Guangguang’s ongoing class and the security concerns raised by the prevalence of mountain bandits, the gatekeeper was hesitant to let her in, and didn’t even open the main iron gate for her.
Sister Nan Feng left the peanuts Mrs. Sima had asked her to bring at the gatekeeper’s desk, reminding him to give them to Guangguang.
When she turned around to leave, she froze on her tracks.
A horse carriage was parked on the road in front of the Academy – at first glance it didn’t seem luxurious, but on closer inspection, it was easy to recognize the superior materials of the carriage itself and the excellent felt used. The horse pulling the carriage had a solid body and long legs, agile hooves, and shiny coat – it was clear that the horse was far superior to ordinary ones.
The curtain on the carriage window was lifted, revealing a rosy face, who called out, “Lady Nan?”
