Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Hero Seizes Wealth and Beauty (7)_1

When Feng Wei returned, it was already night. He hurriedly prepared the medicine and cooked porridge, which he brought into the room.

Seeing a small basket full of sugar-coated peanuts on the table, he was taken aback, "Young Master?"

Mo Heng sat in front of the window, the cool breeze touching his face. Without turning around, he asked softly, "Is there bamboo outside the window?"

Feng Wei glanced outside with curiosity and replied, "There is a clump of water bamboo." His eyes then widened with surprise, "Young Master! Your eyes..."

"I heard it," Mo Heng interrupted him.

Disappointment was unmistakable on Feng Wei’s face, "Young Master! Your eyes will surely get better! Just keep taking your medicine!" He brought the medicine over.

Mo Heng didn’t knock over the medicine bowl this time but picked it up and drank the medicine without pause.

Feng Wei was somewhat astonished, as he had been ready for the bowl to be knocked over and to serve another, "Young Master?"

"The sugar-coated peanuts on the table, I knocked them over. Go and compensate them for it!" Mo Heng handed out the medicine bowl.

Feng Wei’s gaze flickered as he placed the porridge beside him, glanced at the sugar-coated peanuts, and took the medicine bowl out.

Pei Qin leaned against a doorpost, arms crossed, "A whole dou spilled over the ground. The tea house can’t deliver them now. They have to be sold at a reduced price in the town. You should compensate three hundred copper coins."

Three hundred copper coins was a bit much, but Feng Wei didn’t argue. He took out three silver pieces and gave them to her, then turned and walked away.

Pei Qin furrowed her brows slightly, took the money back into the room, and handed it to Pei Yuan to keep.

"That young master looks like he’s from a rich family. How did he go blind and end up in Taiping Town?" Pei Yuan wondered.

"It’s definitely not anything good! Don’t ask too much!" Pei Qin’s intuition for trouble was incredibly sharp; she was sure that the blind, naive-looking fellow must be bringing a world of troubles, and his attendant seemed a bit odd too.

Pei Yuan obediently nodded.

The next day, on the market day, Pei Wendong also got up early to exercise, then went to help set up a stall on the street, ate a bowl of tofu pudding, and nibbled on a steamed bun before going to school.

After selling all the dough she had prepared, Pei Qin packed up the stall and went home to cook the remaining rice flour. She topped it with spicy sliced meat, poured on some vinegar, and the aroma of the soup noodles wafted far and wide.

Just as she started eating a few bites, Mo Heng fumbled out of the room, "Could I borrow a bowl of food? I’ll pay you later."

Pei Qin glanced at him. His jade-white face, illuminated by the spring sun, was so pale it seemed almost translucent, and his cloudy eyes were directed toward them, "We sell it for ten copper coins a bowl."

Mo Heng nodded.

Pei Qin turned to scoop a bowl for him, with less of the spicy topping and a few more slices of beef.

Seeing that Mo Heng had already returned to his room, Pei Qin rolled her eyes discreetly and brought the bowl to him.

After eating, Pei Qin hurriedly took the sugar-coated peanuts to the county city.

At the Moon Restaurant, she encountered Wang Ting, who wore a look of dissatisfaction and full of grievances, "Hasn’t it been forty-nine days since your mother’s passing? I’ve waited several days, but you never came!"

"We’ve been busy building a house at home these last few days," Pei Qin said sheepishly, trying to change the subject, "Do you like the sugar-coated peanuts? If you do, I’ll give you two bags this time!"

At the mention of this, Wang Ting couldn’t help but show a smile on his small face, grudgingly admitting, "They are pretty crisp and tasty!"

Pei Qin gave him two bags, finished delivering the sugar-coated peanuts, and, with the sky not being early anymore, rushed back home.

Pei Wendong was practicing calligraphy at the entrance to the house, and Pei Yuan had already prepared dinner, steaming oily pancakes made from fermented dough.

Feng Wei didn’t return until it was dark. Seeing that Mo Heng had asked for Pei Qin’s rice noodles, he felt a little guilty. When they set out, he was the only one with a bit of silver on him. After spending on the road and on the doctor’s medicine, he was nearly broke. He had to find work to earn money; otherwise, they couldn’t even afford the medicine. The young master’s eyes could be healed slowly, but the internal injuries required careful and meticulous care.
