Chapter 48 Seize the Opportunity
Qi Hongchen leaned forward and whispered in his ear to tell him the identity of that person.

Hearing this, Yuan Songren looked at him in shock: "This...really...?".

Qi Hongchen nodded at him.

Feng Yijun in the front didn't know that Yuan and Qi behind him were whispering to each other, and he focused all his energy on Zhao Yan beside him.

Their Feng family was born as a businessman, so it can be said that they are rich and powerful, but these are not worth mentioning in front of the powerful.

Feng's father intends to let him enter politics, but he knows that he is not suitable for studying, so he cannot be an official.However, becoming an official is not only a path, now that it took a lot of effort to get acquainted with such a high-ranking official through the magistrate's son, of course he must seize the opportunity.

He has already figured out the temperament of this surnamed Zhao. Recently, in order to cater to the preferences of this powerful man, he led people to almost walk around all the streets and alleys in Lanyang City.

After taking a pleasure boat ride, Feng Yijun led Zhao Yan to a restaurant in Lanyang City to have a drink, and both Qi and Yuan walked back and left.

They also felt honored to have such a big man in their company.

The few people talked constantly along the way, but Mr. Zhao didn't talk much, he just listened from the side and nodded occasionally.

It was not an ordinary restaurant, the restaurant had set up a stage, and on the stage there were folk opera artists playing tunes and rapping, all talking about folk fun.

During the banquet, there were three rounds of drinking, and the music on stage was sometimes deep and sometimes passionate.

"As the saying goes, you can't enter the temple alone, and the whole family is on the same boat. The white-faced scholar walked halfway and saw a ruined temple, but he didn't dare to enter... The white snake was rescued by the scholar, hid in a cave to heal his wounds, and devoted himself to practicing for 500 years. In the end, he became a spirit; on a dark night with high wind and high moon, a small green snake broke into the cave, the whole body of this snake was green and extremely poisonous..."

Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, hearing the rapper mention the little green snake, he couldn't help but think of someone, and gently touched the jade plaque on his waist.

It was a folk song made up of gossip. Accompanied by the music, the ups and downs of the plot were fascinating. Several people at the same table were listening to it engrossed. A man in black clothes strode into the room, walked behind Zhao Yan, and listened to it. It reported something.

Zhao Yan's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he asked solemnly, "When did it happen?"

"It's almost ten days old."

With an unhappy expression on his face, he questioned, "Why are you reporting now?"

"Brother Zhao, what happened?" Seeing his strange expression, the second son of the Feng family asked quickly.

Zhao Yan got up and glanced at several people, and left the seat in a hurry with the man in black without saying anything, leaving the three of them looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Selling elderberry, it clears fire and detoxifies, diuretic fossils, has obvious curative effect on rheumatic arthralgia, don't miss it when you pass by."

"Master, come and have a look, this elderberry is specially used to treat the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet, and soaking the feet in boiling water can also relax the tendons and activate the blood."

An old man glanced at the stall, shook his head and left.

The fat woman looked at a pile of unknown branches and leaves in front of her, and asked in puzzlement: "Girl, aren't you a fish seller? Why are you selling this thing again?"

Xu Weiqiu said brazenly: "I'll sell whatever makes money."

The fat woman was disdainful when she heard this: "This thing can still make money? I think you are crazy about money?" Take a look.The woman was dressed in shabby clothes, and she was carrying a biscuit, in which sat a girl less than two years old.

Seeing the girl's cute appearance, Xu Weiqiu couldn't help teasing her.

The woman picked up the thing and looked at it, then asked a little timidly, "This... is this elderberry?"

"Yes." Xu Weiqiu nodded.

The woman looked around and asked in a low voice with a blushing face, "It hurts when I take a pee in the latrine. I heard that this herb can cure it?"

Xu Weiqiu nodded: "It can be cured. This big elderberry is good for relieving tingling pain, frequent urination and urgent urination."

The woman blushed and nodded, she took out three copper coins with embarrassment, and said falteringly: "I only have so much, you can see it.".

From the moment the woman walked over, Xu Weiqiu could already see that this person was shy, and she was quite accurate in judging people.

"Okay." She nodded, took the three copper coins from the woman's hand unceremoniously, and gave her two bundles.

The woman was also stunned when she saw it: "Can you buy so much? I... I went to the pharmacy to ask, and the pharmacy said that three pennies can't buy much."

"It can be sold, I am no better than a pharmacy."

The woman seemed to see her intentions, and kept hemming and hawing.

Xu Weiqiu smiled slightly at her: "Don't worry, I will only sell if I can sell it, and I will lose money if I do business."

Seeing what she said, the woman nodded repeatedly in agreement, then took the things and got up.

Taking advantage of her not paying attention, Xu Weiqiu quietly took two bundles and hung them under the child's back, winking at the child.

The girl grinned at her innocently.

The fat woman saw all this in her eyes, and after the woman left, she sighed: "You do business like this, no wonder you can only eat coarse grains and steamed buns every day."

"I just like to eat. Eating whole grains is healthy. It's not like you have a lot of fish and meat, and you can feed yourself full of fat."

Fat women never think that the fat in their stomachs is ugly. Recently, she has been saying that the more they look at it, the more they feel unsightly.

She snorted, and sat aside and sulked.

On the way back, the fat woman complained that she was tired after walking a few steps, and stayed where she was, wanting Xu Weiqiu to push her with a scooter, but Xu Weiqiu didn't like her, so he refused to let her get in the car.

Originally, the purpose of letting her follow him out of the stall was also to let her move around more.

The fat woman stayed where she was, and she spent time with her.

The journey was not short, but it took more than twice as long as usual.When she got home, the fat woman took off her embroidered shoes and threw them in front of her, and went into the house barefoot.

Xu Weiqiu picked up the shoe and saw that the entire upper was separated from the sole. Originally, this kind of embroidered shoes were just fancy but not useful.

At night, she held the lamp and sewed there with knitting. It took a long time to sew the shoes, but when she brought them to the fat woman, she said in exchange: "The sewing is so ugly, how can people wear?"

"Do you like to wear it or not." Putting down the embroidered shoes, Xu Weiqiu went out without looking back.

On the second day, the fat woman refused to follow her to the stall on the pretext of not having shoes to wear.

Two days later, the always stingy Xu Weiqiu bought a new pair of cloth shoes for the fat lady.

The shoes don't have those flashy embroidery, but they are very sturdy. The fat woman was very happy when she saw it, but she said stiffly: "It's so ugly, I don't want to wear it."

"No way, if you don't want it, I'll wear it for my second mother. Anyway, these shoes should fit my second mother's feet."

"Give it to whoever you love, anyway, I don't like it!".
