Chapter 479: Tracks
Qin Huiyin nodded: "Okay."
Meng Lin raised a harmless smile.
"I'm very busy on weekdays and don't go to the food city often. However, you can skip the queue with this sign." Qin Huiyin said, gesturing to Zhilan.
Zhilan took out a sign from her arms and handed it over.
Meng Lin took it, wiped it like a baby, and pulled it into his arms.
"I'll go buy some later. I want to bring some back for my dad to try."
Qin Huiyin was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at Meng Lin's silly smile again, there was a bit more tenderness in it.
"I will send food to the soldiers at the border separately to ensure that they can also taste the delicacies of the capital."
In the past, military factories would send weapons, supplies, and even fast food like instant noodles and sausages, all to help them guard the border more smoothly and easily. No one had ever thought of sending these soldiers any other delicious food. It had nothing to do with the war; it was simply to let those who guarded the border year-round feel the "love" of the capital.
This Meng Lin is indeed a little silly. Everything he has is the result of his father's life, but he has a pure heart and knows how to care for others better than many perfect people.
"Really? Miss Qin, you are the first person to support me." Meng Lin looked at her with joy.
"Tsk!" A laugh came from the tree.
The voice was so close to her ear and right above her head that she couldn't ignore it.
She looked up and saw the silver-haired Zhuge Congfeng sitting on a tree trunk with his legs crossed and a book in his hand.
"When did you evolve from Mr. Feng into a monkey? My guest room can't accommodate you anymore. Are you going to fly into the sky?"
"Your teacher's constant nagging is giving me a headache. I originally came here to relax, but ended up hearing something even funnier. This Tang Mansion is really lively."
"My teacher is such a gentle gentleman, but he keeps nagging you. You should be grateful. It's your blessing to be able to listen to his nagging." Qin Huiyin rolled her eyes.
"Why aren't you bothering to see him and listen to his ramblings? You're just saying nice things." Zhuge Congfeng hopped down from above. "You gave this little fool a sign for just saying a few words. Your master and I haven't received that kind of treatment. Give us two more of those signs. Your master and I also enjoy the food at the Food City and want to avoid the hardship of waiting in line."
"Mr. Congfeng, there's no need to be so troublesome. As long as you tell us your name, the staff at the Food City will prepare food for you first, and it's free." Zhilan said.
Su Jin echoed, "The young lady has already said that if you two dine in the restaurant, your bills will be free. Isn't that better than skipping the line?"
Zhuge Congfeng had no idea he had such a blessing. After hearing what the two maids said, the frivolous smile on his face faded.
"You're quite sensible, little girl. But it's also true that your teacher taught you the qin, and I taught you the flute. No matter what, I'm half your teacher, and you should be filial to me."
This girl looks smart, why is she so silly?
She had no idea who he was or who Qiu Bai was. She was so open-hearted to them, wasn't she afraid that they would sell her out one day?
They have only known each other for a few days and have received such sincerity. It is conceivable that her attitude towards the people around her will only become better, better, and better.
"Miss, it's almost time to send Mr. Meng back." Zhilan reminded from the side.
Qin Huiyin looked at Meng Lin: "Mr. Meng, please come this way."
Zhuge Congfeng watched Qin Huiyin and Meng Lin walk away. He returned to the guest house and said to Puyang Qiubai, who was sitting at his desk writing, "Guess what I just saw?"
"What new things in this mansion can make you so interested?" Puyang Qiubai put down his pen.
"Your little disciple is with that stupid young master of the Meng family." Zhuge Congfeng leaned on the desk as if he had no bones.
Puyang Qiubai saw him holding down his scroll, raised his eyes and glanced at him, his cold eyes filled with displeasure.
Zhuge Congfeng shifted his hips, sat down on a nearby chair, and tapped the table. "Don't you think the master and mistress of this mansion would want to find a foolish husband for your little disciple?"
"will not."
"Why not? That silly young master is the only child in the family. The border needs people with the surname Meng right now. The general's mansion has a very high status. That silly young master is stupid, but your little disciple is very clever. Who knows, the Meng family might even take a fancy to your little disciple."
"As long as the Tang family doesn't agree, it's useless for them to take a fancy to him." Puyang Qiubai said, looking at Zhuge Congfeng in confusion. "Why are you so worried?"
"I'm not worried. I've benefited from her, and I can't bear to see her suffer like that." Zhuge Congfeng said lazily, "Your little disciple is very filial. We won't have to pay for food when we go to her food court from now on."
Puyang Qiubai said calmly, "When did we become so poor that we had to eat and drink for free?"
“Whether you need to eat and whether you can eat are two different things.”
"Shouldn't you leave the Tang family?"
Zhuge Congfeng touched the injured area and said, "It's still hurt, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Congfeng, you've been acting a little strange lately," Puyang Qiu said calmly. "I'll give you five more days. After that, you can't waste any more time. You must leave the Tang family."
"I understand." Zhuge Congfeng looked unhappy. "Qiubai, have you ever thought about stopping?"
Puyang Qiubai paused his fingers, leaving a pool of ink on the paper, so thick that it seeped through the paper.
He said calmly, "Congfeng, if you are tired, just leave. I won't blame you."
"If I leave, you'll shoulder all the hatred by yourself, right? You want to leave me behind? Don't dream on. We grew up together." Zhuge Congfeng said with a playful smile, "I'm just testing you to see if your resolve has changed. The Zhuge and Puyang families together have over a thousand members. How can we let go of such a blood debt so easily? Not to mention Huan'er. If we don't find her, the elders of both families will never rest in peace."
A man jumped in from the window. He was wearing a mask and his cold eyes rested on the two of them.
"We found the woman who was in trouble back then. She was accompanied by a teenage girl, about Huan'er's age."
"Where is she?" Puyang Qiubai walked out from behind the desk and asked anxiously.
"She lives in Yangjiazhuang, not far from the capital. She lives a hard life. You'll understand once you see her."
"Let's go to Yangjiazhuang right away." Puyang Qiubai said and walked outside.
Zhuge Congfeng held his hand and said, "Although I shouldn't discourage you at this time, I still need to remind you that after all these years, they haven't been found, and now they've suddenly emerged. We need time to verify the accuracy of this information."
