Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Paving the Way for the Eldest Grandson’s Exam (1)_1

This obvious recognition between master and servant left Pei Qin standing outside with her dumplings, wondering whether to retreat.

The man at the foot of the slope was crying a mess, his mouth shouting ’young master’ and ’master’, ’I’ve finally found you’.

When Feng Wei saw Pei Qin, a flash of wariness crossed his eyes, and with reddened eyes, he helped the man up, "Geng Shan! We’ll talk later!"

The man named Geng Shan also turned his head to look at Pei Qin, quickly got up while wiping his tears, and his expression was equally guarded.

Pei Qin glanced at Tian Bai, defensive about what? She had absolutely no interest in any of their damn business! Seeing Mo Heng’s rare emotional expression, she raised the bag in her hand, "Garlic egg dumplings!"

Mo Heng drew a slight breath of surprise, "Thank you!" He had Feng Wei take the dumplings, then asked, "In the workshop, is it possible to accommodate one more person?"

"Can I say no?" Pei Qin chuckled.

Feng Wei was somewhat annoyed. The young master had sacrificed so much to save her, and she was only asking to accommodate one more person, and even that was met with such a reaction!

Now that their master and servant had already been taken in, it was only one more servant. Pei Qin looked at the one called Geng Shan, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old in appearance, slender and with a somewhat sallow complexion, wearing a navy blue cotton jacket, and his right calf was crooked, not looking congenital, more like it had been broken. Her gaze fell on Mo Heng, "I don’t want to know your backgrounds, but you best be clear about your own. I don’t want any trouble!"

Mo Heng could feel that when she said this, there wasn’t a trace of a smile on her face. He nodded silently, "It won’t cause you any trouble."

Feng Wei pursed her lips. What trouble could they possibly bring!? The young master could only be so miserable! On the contrary, it was she herself that was quite adept at attracting trouble!

Pei Qin nodded and said all right, then turned and left. On the way home, her brows were furrowed. She was considering whether to expel the blind master and servant. The one with the pretty looks had skin on his hands whiter than a little girl’s, possibly some noble young master who had gotten into trouble and was blinded. Now his servant had found his way here, wouldn’t others soon follow?

But to drive them out like that would make her seem timid and fearful. The blind man and Feng Wei were still Little Radish’s scholar and soldier, and she would be accused of repaying kindness with ingratitude!

Pei Qin scratched her head and cursed Feng Wei, who had robbed her of her silver.

When she returned home, she received a letter from Shen Songming. He said that he couldn’t go two months without writing to her, so he had sent her a letter. He mentioned that he found people and had already made the clock, but it was unstable, and he could only make one model that could not be adjusted in size. As for the musical box, it was also challenging to make, with unsolved issues related to sound production, and he was still researching the mechanical watch. He asked her for advice, complained about her not writing to him, and inquired about the situation with the sweet potatoes.

After thinking about the blind master and servant, Pei Qin wrote back to Shen Songming, telling him how she was accused of being a spy for a foreign country because she grew sweet potatoes. She thanked him for the name card he had given her in foresight, informed him about the harvest of the sweet potatoes, and asked if he wanted kimchi. She also attached a solution regarding his problems with making the musical box and the clock.

Upon receiving the letter, Shen Songming scoffed with a cold expression. Even in ancient times, those people were out of line, not knowing who they were dealing with. If she got angry and came up with a nuclear bomb or biological weapons or something, those people wouldn’t even know how they died! Pei Qin was not someone with professional ethics. If she truly got enraged, she would indeed toss a bomb! And as for him, did they think he was dead? They were just two people relying on each other. To mess with Pei Qin—were they tired of living?

After pondering for a whole night, Shen Songming felt he needed to arrange a couple of people to go help Pei Qin. He was too far away to do anything in an emergency. Having his people there would also allow them to handle things in a timely manner! As for kimchi, he didn’t care for it much. Still, he instructed Pei Qin to find a caravan and transport two jars of it to the Capital Jingcheng, which he would gift to others.
