The midsummer sun always made people afraid to leave their homes. Fortunately, the herbs were completely dried up and were easy to arrange.

When Song's Mother returned from the fields, Song Yao had already prepared a simple meal. Song's Mother blamed her for not taking a good rest, her body and mind were both relaxed after she returned, and it was already the best news.

She wasn't the type of person who loved to be the center of attention, but she always felt like she was trampling on the heart.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to not think about it anymore. Whether he could meet Jiu Guniang again was unknown, since it was unknown, he would just leave it to worry about it in the future.

Right now, she just wanted to earn some money and try her best to untie the knot in Big Sister Feng's heart and bring her back.

Her life at home was relaxed and happy. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. As the medicinal herbs were about to be tidied up, it was time for her to enter the city again.

When he mentioned about going into the city, Song Yao was somewhat resistant, but he was looking forward to it and had already started preparing. He originally wanted to bring Gou Dan along, but was stopped by Zhao Lihua.

Mentioning Song Gui, Song Yao remembered something even more important.

Seeing that Song Gui was also at the age where he should be attending school, with no private school in the village and the closest one in town, was naturally worried about sending him there.

However, it is impossible not to learn. Which Chinese of the 21st century doesn't know that knowledge changes fate?

Even though she was a language teacher, the ancient books were all traditional Chinese. She couldn't recognize all of them, and there was no Chinese dictionary here, plus there was still a difference between the future and the present. That set of advanced world values and outlook on life might not be applicable in this era.

Therefore, she quickly gave up on the idea of teaching him. However, this matter seemed to have become her sore point, making her somewhat anxious.

After loading all the ingredients onto the carriage, Song Gui was ready to make his move soon.

Song Yao suddenly remembered that when she was young, she was also like this. When her parents tried to stop her from doing one thing, she insisted on doing it, and at that time, she could act coquettishly, roll around wildly, and cause trouble for no reason.

After her parents had passed away, she no longer had the right to do so.

Sometimes, being ignorant was also a type of happiness.

Just as they were about to leave, Song's Mother warned them, "Yao'er, come back and buy some tofu."

Song Yao asked curiously: "Why do you want to buy tofu? Isn't there no one in my family who likes to eat it?"

Song's Mother replied, "Teacher Xu's birthday is coming up. He doesn't like anything else but to eat fried tofu. I cook for him every year."

"Teacher Xu?" Song Yao was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Okay, I understand."

Song's Mother warned them a few more times to be careful and then let them go.

Compared to the last time, the process was much smoother. He was already familiar with it. Plus, the shopkeeper seemed to have been exhorted, so the payment was unusually straightforward. Therefore, it ended very quickly.

Zhao Lihua took out money to buy things, and bought them all, large and small. Song Yao passed the task of buying the things to her, and let her take Song Gui to a teahouse to hide.

However, just as he sat down, a familiar voice came from the side, "Oh, oh, oh. Who am I talking to? It's our Miss Song."

Song Yao turned her head to see Gongsun Xiao sitting at the side, she immediately stood up and was about to leave.

"Why?" Gongsun Xiao laughed, "Am I a ghost or a demon, why are you so scared when you see me?"

Song Yao said snappily: "You are not a devil nor a ghost. You are a god of pests.

"Ai ai ai? What do you mean? Who are we talking about? "How can I make it so that nothing good happens to you?"

Gongsun Xiao said leisurely: "I am not unjustly accused. Miss Song, you will not be able to explain it clearly today, but you can't leave now."

Seeing that he was doing it on purpose, Song Yao thought that Gongsun Xiao did not hurt her either. Forget it, do not be too optimistic, there was no need to implicate so many people.

She turned around and sat down, then looked at Gongsun Xiao and asked: "Young Noble Gongsun, do you have something to instruct me?"

Gongsun Xiao was startled, and asked: "Who told you my name? A Chu? "

Song Yao said helplessly: "Idiot, I don't think you can guess. Come to think of it, why are you so free?

Gongsun Xiao said: "The weather is so hot, we can't always go to work. If we get too tired, what should we do?"

Song Yao said helplessly: "To seek a higher position and seek a higher position. If everyone is like you, wouldn't the world be in chaos? "

Gongsun Xiao said in surprise, "Oh, that does make sense. How about this, you follow me to see A Chu and have him convince the higher-ups to give you a official and half position? This way, you can do your best for your country, and this country won't be in chaos with you. "

"Sure." Song Yao said arrogantly: "Others who go to all the trouble to take the examinations will not get a single official and half a rank. If I can save on this, I would naturally wish for nothing."

Gongsun Xiao paused when he was pouring tea, and laughed: "You really dare say, up until now, there has never been a case of a lady becoming an official, I'm afraid you won't be able to do that."

Song Yao took the tea from his hand, "There is an exception to everything. As long as I want to, how about we start a new life? On the other hand, you were blessed since birth, how could you not know how to do good deeds? "

"Eh? Why do I feel like you, Miss Song, are always good at talking to me? What have I done to offend you? "

After Song Yao heard this, she was stunned, it was true that she did not do it on purpose, but because of what happened previously, she was too disappointed with the officials and the people above, and felt that all the officials were virtuous men.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do that on purpose. Merely, it's not that you've never offended me, no?"

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Gongsun Xiao laughed: "Yo yo yo, so it turns out that Miss Song is someone who remembers grudges."

Song Yao laughed, "It's not that I'm holding a grudge, but my memory is good, so it's hard to forget anything."

"Oh?" Gongsun Xiao waved the fan in his hand lightly, "Then does Miss Song still remember the case of Jun Gongzi being killed?"

Song Yao did not utter a word.

Gongsun Xiao continued: "I heard that the killer Jiu Guniang was sentenced to death in the autumn, and as for the Minister of the Civil Service, her position was lowered, and she has been suffering from an illness recently, and has not been in the imperial court for a long time."

"Oh." Song Yao replied.

Gongsun Xiao said: "Miss Song is not satisfied with this result?"

Song Yao sighed, "The laws of this country are high, how can I judge such a thing?"

Gongsun Xiao said in surprise: "Miss Song was originally a pessimistic person."

Song Yao sighed, stood up and said with her back facing Gongsun Xiao: "Xiao Palace's Falcon, I don't know if we can be considered as good friends, and I don't want to understand your motive for saying these words, but, I hope that we will never be enemies."

The expression on Gongsun Xiao's face changed slightly as he looked at her for a long while before saying, "You …"

Song Yao picked up the thing on the table and said: "No need to say anymore, if you come to Gao Clan Village again, I will definitely treat you well, but if you meet me again in the capital, just pretend that you don't know me, I don't want to be dragged deeper into the abyss, I still covet the happiness I have so far."

"Just treat it as the reward for saving your life."

"Farewell."

Song Yao stepped out of the tea house and walked away, step by step.

Gongsun Xiao sat in the teahouse as he watched this girl walk further and further away. After a long while, he suddenly laughed, and held the teacup on the table in his hand. He said softly, "Do you want to leave now? It's already too late. "
