<h4>1542 Arriving at Shun Yan City</h4>


    Feng Jiu took out a box of pastries from the space and handed it to the child. “Here, this is for you.” She bought these on the road as ration, but she didn’t eat much on the way.“How’s that possible?” The old woman quickly refused. She was even more reluctant to ask for it after seeing the exquisite pastry box and the fragrance wafting out from the pastry.


    Ordinary people like them wouldn’t dare to ask for such a thing.


    “It’s all right. It’s for the kid to eat. Take it.” She squatted down to open the box and revealed the exquisite pastry inside. “It’s delicious. Take it!”


    The little boy’s eyes twinkled as he looked at the pastries in the box. He put a tiny finger in his mouth and sucked it. The boy couldn’t take his eyes off the exquisite little pastry.


    “Young Master, this...” The rich nobles who had passed this ce in the past looked down on themoners like them and never gave them anything like this. For a moment, the old woman didn’t know what to do.


    “It doesn’t matter. It’s just a box of pastries.” She stuffed the pastry to the child. “Be obedient and take it.”


    The little boy took the box given by Feng Jiu in his arms. His innocent face wreathed with delighted smiles. “Thank you, Big Brother.”


    “You have to call him Young Master.” The old woman urged her grandson quickly.


    “Thank you, Young Master.” The little boy thanked her loudly and ran back with the pastries in his arms. At the same time, he also called, “Grandfather, there are delicious pastries...”


    “Young Master, please eat first. If it’s not enough, there’s still some more.” The old woman stepped inside.


    Feng Jiu sat down eating the millet porridge served with side dishes and pumpkin pancake. She had a simple and tasty breakfast. After the meal, she took a rest in the room that the old woman had vacated and nned to nap before leaving at noon.


    About noon, the old woman knocked at the door.


    “Young Master, lunch is ready. Please get up and have a meal.”


    The door opened and Feng Jiu, who had been sleeping for a while, came out. At their invitation, she sat down for a meal and chatted with them. After the lunch, she got up and said goodbye.


    “Elder, rest assured. If I see your son, I will certainly convey your message.” She sat astride on Old White’s back, waved to the old woman, pulled the rein and left.


    “Grandmother, grandmother, look!” The little boy came out with a few gold coins. “It’s from that big brother.”


    The old woman took the gold coins with trembling hands. Her lips moved and her eyes reddened. She kept silent for a long time...


    Having covered the distance traveled at an elerated pace, she arrived at Shun Yan City in the evening. She appeared extremely dazzling riding on a white horse with her beautiful looks, outstanding temperament and red dress. As soon as she entered the city, she attracted many people’s attention.


    Already ustomed to being an object of attention, she sat on the horse until arriving in front of an inn and then dismounted. The waiter came to wee her and helped her lead Old White to the stable behind the inn.


    “Waiter, give me the best room.” Feng Jiu called out and went upstairs. “Bring me several of your specialty dishes and a pot of wine.”


    “Yes, pleasee this way, Young Master.” The waiter led the way in front of her. After opening the room, he poured her a cup of tea. “Please have a cup of tea first. The wine and dishes wille soon.”


    After a while, the food and wine were brought up and put on the table. When the waiter was about to withdraw, he was called.


    “Waiter, how far is the City Lord’s manor from here?” Feng Jiu took a sip of wine and asked in an unhurried tone.
