Wang Qi and others brought Wang Lifu out of the pharmacy and then followed Zhang Da to his residence. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Along the way, Zhang Da repeatedly hesitated to speak to his mentor.

Noticing this, Wang Qi did not respond and only whispered inquiries about Wang Lifu’s affairs at the pharmacy.

Only after entering Zhang Family’s house and sitting down for a cup of hot tea did Wang Qi smile at Zhang Da: "Do you have something to tell your teacher?"

Seeing that Wang Qi finally asked him, Zhang Da hurriedly said, "Teacher, I know you are of noble character and do not seek to cling to the powerful, but today’s chance to meet Madam Xiao is truly rare."

"I personally think that we should not have left after just a couple of words. Teacher, with your profound knowledge, you should have taken the opportunity to show it. If Madam Xiao knew, she would definitely mention it to Sir Xiao,"

Wang Qi shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but Madam Xiao is a lady after all, and it is not appropriate for us men to stay for too long. As for meeting Sir Xiao, there is no rush yet."

Zhang Da quickly asked, "Isn’t Teacher here in Ganzhou City to emerge from retirement?"

Wang Qi laughed: "That is in my plans, but there’s no hurry," adding after a pause, "This time, I will be staying in Ganzhou City for a while, and I am afraid I will be imposing on you during this period."

Zhang Da immediately stood up: "Teacher frets too much, it is my utmost wish for you to be here."

In this way, Wang Qi stayed in Ganzhou City with a few family members.

"Miss, the painting you wanted has been bought."

Bi Shi laid out the painting she had just purchased from the street on the desk.

Daohua carefully examined the painting, which depicted a realistic streetscape of Ganzhou City. Now, at the end of the year, the festive atmosphere was thick on the streets, and the artist captured this mood vividly.

"It indeed shows true talent and learning!"

At this moment, Xiao Yeyang came in from outside, took off his cloak, warmed himself at the charcoal basin, and then approached Daohua: "What are you so engrossed in? I came back and you didn’t even notice."

Daohua, seeing Xiao Yeyang, immediately beamed with joy: "The new year is just a few days away, and you finally came back. I was wondering if I should prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner and send it to your camp."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and pulled her to sit down: "How could I not come back to spend the new year with you and Uncle?"

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Wasn’t it said that you were just going to inspect the Jinwei Guard and return? How come it took so long?"

Upon mentioning this, Xiao Yeyang became somewhat agitated: "It’s all because the Border Army of the Jinwei Guard is too incompetent. When I went there, I happened to encounter a group of Xiliao people crossing the border to snatch wealth."

"The Border Army, despite outnumbering the Xiliao people by several times, did not stand to confront but retreated continuously, leaving the common folk at the mercy of the Xiliao marauders."

"To rectify the military discipline of the Jinwei Guard, I ended up delaying there for over half a month."

Hearing this, Daohua frowned, "Given that, it’s not surprising that the Xiliao dare to raid towns and villages."

Xiao Yeyang rubbed his temples: "Zhu Jianzhong of the Jinwei Guard is still a competent Commander, he didn’t embezzle the army’s provisions, unlike some other Commanders who even skimmed off the military supplies, leading to even more issues with their Border Army."

Daohua stood up to massage his temple, indignantly saying, "I see, the Commandant Office of Xiliang is simply useless, practically just a decorative figure."

Xiao Yeyang snorted and sneered: "Decorative figure? You underestimate the local tyrant here; they are busy wielding their power." He sighed, "It’s also because the Imperial Court has not paid attention to this place in recent years, leading to many problems here."

Daohua: "Luckily you came; otherwise, allowing Xiliang to continue like this, once the Xiliao attack, Xiliang might easily change hands. You must submit a memorial when you return, and let the Emperor know how arduous your work is here."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, pulling Daohua in front of him, and hugged her on his lap again: "I’m glad you are with me, or I would be fighting alone here."

Saying that, he tried to get affectionate with Daohua.

Daohua pushed him away, "It’s broad daylight, and people are coming and going. It wouldn’t look good if someone saw this. Be careful."

Xiao Yeyang held Daohua’s cheeks and kissed her fiercely, then smiled: "Alright, let’s not talk about unpleasant things. What were you looking at just now?" He then turned his gaze to the painting on the desk.

Daohua quickly said, "Take a look at this painting, see what you think?"
