Chapter 150 The Visitor

Granny Liao got up and took the bowl. Seeing Lin Ziping's expression, she couldn't help but laugh and coaxed, "Young master, drink up."

Lin Ziping took the bowl, put it in his mouth, and a familiar fishy smell came over him.

He paused, looked up at Granny Liao, whose face wore a kind expression.

Seeing Lin Ziping looking over, he asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

"It's tough being a nanny," Lin Ziping said, pursing his lips.

Granny Liao said, "Drink it quickly. After you finish drinking, I have some sugar here. It won't be bitter anymore."

Lin Ziping stared blankly at Granny Liao, then drank the entire bowl in one gulp.

"vomit--"

Lin Ziping leaned over the edge of the bed and couldn't help but gag.

"Hurry up and drink some water." Granny Liao quickly brought a cup of water to Lin Ziping's lips.

He kept gently patting Lin Ziping's back as he spoke.

Lin Ziping wiped away the saline solution that had flowed from the corner of his eye, took the cup, and drank some water to soothe the churning sensation in his throat.

After a while, Lin Ziping said weakly, "Granny, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit."

"Young Master, your face is as white as paper. Next time, drink less alcohol and take better care of yourself, you know..."

"Granny, I want to rest for a bit," Lin Ziping interrupted Granny Liao's rambling.

Granny Liao was taken aback, opened her mouth and straightened the quilt for Lin Ziping, saying, "Alright, then...then...young master, you should rest."

The room fell silent again. Lin Ziping pulled the blanket over his face and turned his back to the door.

The next day, sunlight streamed through the window, and Lin Ziping slowly woke up.

I stretch and yawn, and today is another beautiful day.

Lin Ziping suddenly felt discomfort in his mouth and suddenly remembered that he hadn't washed up before going to bed yesterday. Drinking really makes things difficult; he even forgot about personal hygiene.

I couldn't help but gag twice; it was another day of self-loathing.

I threw back the covers and prepared to get out of bed.

"Snapped--"

A wooden box fell to the ground.

Lin Ziping picked it up and opened it; it was a bracelet given to him by Li Qiongying.

It looked quite nice, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it because of my identity. After thinking about it, I casually put it into the box I brought back from Dai Qin's house.

Stepping out of the room, Zhu Zi and Shu Miao were busy in the yard. Upon seeing Lin Ziping, they both bowed in greeting.

Lin Ziping didn't want to correct him anymore. Some things are ingrained in one's bones, and forcing them would only make everyone uncomfortable. So he nodded slightly in response.

"Young Master, I'll help you wash up. Granny Liao is making breakfast, it'll be ready soon," said Shu Miao.

Lin Ziping nodded, went into the kitchen to greet Granny Liao, and began to wash up with the help of Shu Miao.

A commotion came from outside the bathroom.

"It must be the master," Zhu Zi said as he ran to open the door.

Lin Ziping quickly finished washing up and then went back to his room to change his clothes.

The sound of bowing came from outside. Lin Ziping slowly buttoned up the last button, rubbed his face, and opened the door to go out.

"Greetings, Uncle." Lin Ziping bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

"We have guests at home, why are you only coming out now?" Lin Zhong said.

Visitor?

Lin Ziping looked up and saw Li Qiongying standing next to Lin Zhong and Lao Qi behind her.

Why is she here?

Are you still with Lin Zhong?

Lin Ziping pretended not to remember what happened last night and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, "Miss Qiongying."

Li Qiongying gave a slight curtsy and said, "I came uninvited, and I hope Young Master Ziping will forgive me."

"Not at all, Miss Qiongying's presence is an honor to grace my humble abode," Lin Ziping said with a smile.

"I happened to meet Miss Li at Fuchun Restaurant. I heard that she had something to discuss with you, so I came here with her," Lin Zhong explained.

Lin Ziping nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle. Breakfast will be ready soon. Miss Li, if you don't mind, would you like to have breakfast with me?"

"It's my pleasure, Qiongying," Li Qiongying said. "I brought a gift with me. Would Young Master Ziping like to come with me to collect it?"

"Okay," Lin Ziping replied.

He bowed to Lin Zhong and then followed Li Qiongying out.

"Miss Qiongying, what brings you to see me today?" Lin Ziping asked.

Li Qiongying smiled and said, "Yesterday I saw Young Master Ziping and his family gathering at the city gate, and since it was Mid-Autumn Festival, I came to visit."

Mid-Autumn Festival, wasn't it yesterday?

When did visiting relatives and friends become as popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival as it is during the Spring Festival?

Lin Ziping didn't expose her and replied, "Miss Qiongying is too kind. Fuchun has been going through a lot of trouble lately, so it's best for Miss Qiongying to be careful when she goes out."

"Young Master Ziping is from Qingyang, right? Why did you decide to come to Fuchun?" Li Qiongying asked in confusion.

Why does everyone have this question? Lin Ziping sighed and said, "Going to a distant place is just about making a living."

"Then why not go to the capital?" Li Qiongying continued to ask.

Lin Ziping looked at Li Qiongying and felt too embarrassed to call her naive.

My sister said that's the capital city, not the main street outside. She doesn't mean you can just go there whenever you want.

Lin Ziping thought to himself: This Miss Qiongying seems smart, but in reality she is "unsophisticated" and doesn't understand the ways of the world.

Lin Ziping casually replied, "I'll definitely go and see it when I have the chance."

"Yes, we must go!" Li Qiongying whispered.

"What?" Lin Ziping didn't hear clearly.

Li Qiongying shook her head and said, "Also, I came here today to bring you something. Is there anything you've forgotten?"

Is the topic jumping around like this?

Lin Ziping scratched his head, not remembering what he had forgotten.

Li Qiongying smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

As they spoke, the two walked to the carriage.

Lin Ziping's rented courtyard was in an alley. It was usually quite spacious for walking, but it became very crowded when a few horse-drawn carriages were parked there. This highlighted the importance of a parking lot, but unfortunately, this concept was not yet in place in this era.

"It's nothing..."

"hold head high--"

The look of confusion on Lin Ziping's face instantly turned into surprise.

It's a "Wuling Hongguang"!

He happily patted the big head that had come closer.

Good heavens, I've worked myself to the bone, practically risking my life, and my mount has still gotten fatter.

Fortunately, this Wuling Hongguang doesn't use gasoline; otherwise, with its larger size and rising gas prices, I would have to worry about fuel costs.

Lin Ziping was too lazy to investigate how Li Qiongying had encountered his donkey. He had been prepared to confiscate it, but now that it had been recovered, he was filled with gratitude.

"Miss Qiongying, thank you." Lin Ziping bowed to her with his hands clasped in thanks.

Li Qiongying smiled and said, "No need to thank me yet, there's more inside the carriage."
