Chapter 216 Preparation
Prepare to "meet at the city gate tomorrow, don't be late." After leaving the palace gate, Li Yuanbai reminded Huo Qiqi again.

The Lord Protector had a lot of opinions on him, his nostrils were upturned, his head was tilted to the side, and he didn't look him straight at all.

"En." Huo Qiqi didn't like Li Yuanbai too much, she suspected that it was because Li Yuanbai was making trouble behind his back that the emperor thought of her.

Li Yuanbai didn't get angry when he wasn't seen. He still had a lot of things to deal with after he returned.Anyway, Huo Qiqi was willing to follow him to Pingnan. After arriving in Pingnan, he was not afraid of Huo Qiqi's laziness.

The two parties parted ways in unhappiness.

"Grandfather, you go back first. I'll go to Chen Desheng's place to have a look. I haven't seen the little fat man for a long time. I'm so flustered. Let's see how the little fat man is doing." Huo Qiqi said with a smile.

The old man gave her an unhappy look, how could Huo Qiqi hide it from him?This girl probably softened her heart again.

"Don't take everything on yourself, you'll be taken advantage of by others when you get there." After all, the baby is his own, and the Duke Protector couldn't stop her, so he could only tell her repeatedly.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I'm not stupid. I've always been the only one who plots against others, and there's no reason for others to plot against me. Actually, it's not bad to go to Nanping to see. I almost never have the opportunity to travel far, so you just treat me as if I went out to investigate the market and develop business." It's gone." Huo Qiqi comforted the old man.

"Is that the same?" The old man was still not happy.

Huo Qiqi coaxed him for a while with a playful smile, and the old man finally broke into a smile.

When passing by the dim sum shop, the old man rode back home with his guards.Huo Qiqi asked Jian Yu to go to the snack shop, got some snacks, and then brought two watermelons from Zuixianlou.

You can't go to someone else's house empty-handed, right?After Huo Qiqi brought enough presents, he went directly to Chen Desheng's house.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of Chen Desheng's house, they happened to see Chen Desheng going out.

Huo Qiqi hurriedly dismounted, and when Chen Desheng saw her coming, he immediately greeted her happily, "I said why the magpie barked on his fingers early in the morning, so it turned out that a distinguished guest like Mr. Qi came to the door."

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm here to take a look at Little Fatty." Huo Qiqi said with a smile.

This is considered polite, Huo Qiqi is a very busy person, there must be serious business to find him, how could he really come here just to take a look at the child?But Huo Qiqi's words sounded pleasing, and Chen Desheng immediately narrowed his eyes for joy.

"Tell Shopkeeper Shao that there is an urgent matter at home and I can't leave. I'll go there tomorrow." He immediately canceled his trip out in joy.After explaining to the boy, he personally led Huo Qiqi to his home.

Little Fatty liked Huo Qiqi, and when he heard the servants tell Huo Qiqi to come over, he didn't want to be urged, and immediately ran over to look for Huo Qiqi on his short legs.

"Qiye." The little guy is like his father, he smiles a little when he sees people, and with his chubby figure, he is cute no matter how you look at it.

Huo Qiqi also really liked this little fat man, and when he saw him coming, he immediately ordered Jian Yu to put delicious food on the table for the child to choose.

"Qi Ye, you came here as soon as you came, why did you bring such old things." Chen Desheng was a little embarrassed.

Huo Qiqi smiled, and answered bluntly, "Because I came to ask you for something today."

Chen Desheng was taken aback, when would Huo Qiqi ask him for anything? "Qi Ye, tell me, as long as I can help, I will never refuse."

"I want a batch of medicinal materials." Huo Qiqi was still in a hurry to go back to pack his things, so he simply told him about going to Nanping.

Chen Desheng also knew about the plague in Nanping.However, he did not expect that Huo Qiqi would be sent to Nanping by the emperor.

"What Qiye wants are all heat-clearing and detoxifying medicinal materials, and the quantity is relatively large. I must not be able to get them all together at the moment. Can you wait two days before sending them over?" Chen Desheng asked cautiously. Huo Qiqi was disappointed, let alone let Huo Qiqi misunderstand that he was delaying on purpose.

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Chen." Huo Qiqi was overjoyed, and thanked him with cupped hands.

Chen Desheng breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he was friendly and cheerful.

Huo Qiqi didn't make this trip in vain, she felt the pulse of the little fat man, and then wrote some medicinal recipes for the little fat man.

Chen Desheng was overjoyed, even for these medicinal meals, Huo Qiqi had no objection to giving those medicinal materials to Huo Qiqi for nothing.

After the matter was settled, Huo Qiqi left the Chen family and went back home.

Unexpectedly, when the Huo brothers in the mansion heard that she was going to Nanping, they all seemed to be blown up. Even Wang Shaojie came over to join in the fun.

"Come on." Seeing that everyone was arguing fiercely, Huo Qiqi quickly waved his hands, "Nanping has both floods and plagues, and others can't avoid it, so why do you join in the fun? I'll just go there by myself, and you follow me It's useless to go there together, but it will drag me down."

"Qi Qi, how can we rest assured that you are alone?" Huo Yichen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Why is he alone? Isn't there still the sixth prince and several officials from the Ministry of Industry?" Huo Qiqi said with a smile, "Besides, the sixth prince even gave me the detoxification pill. , it also appears that our Duke Protector's House is stingy."

"I'll go with you." Wang Shaojie said.

"Come on, it would be great if you can help take care of the family's business. Let me tell you, when I'm gone, you must keep an eye on Zhao Xiankun, and don't let him take advantage of the loopholes. And , In your free time, study hard and enrich yourself. Don’t do business with others in the future, and let others laugh at us without connotation.” Huo Qiqi scolded him.

Wang Shaojie touched his nose, is he as bad as Qi Qi said?
"Ann, I know how to do it, don't forget. Although my master is unreliable, but anyway, I have learned from him for so long, and I still know some common sense. Besides, I am not stupid enough to move forward on everything. Chong, at most I will mention one or two sentences and just go through the motions." Huo Qiqi said.

Seeing her resolute attitude, everyone had no choice but to say nothing more.

Huo Qiqi explained some business matters before going back to his room to pack his things.

That night, Huo Qiqi hardly slept, and the others followed her to toss and toss all night.

After the Duke Protector found out, he sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

In the early morning of the next day, when the family was having dinner, everyone repeatedly told Huo Qiqi to be careful when they arrived in Nanping. After Huo Qiqi agreed one by one, he quickly left his job and ran away.

If she didn't leave, her ears would be callused.

Huo Yichen and the others clamored to send her to the gate of the city, but Huo Qiqi had no choice but to agree.When everyone arrived at the gate of the city, they found that Li Yuanbai and a group of officials were already ready and waiting for her.

She rubbed her nose and asked embarrassedly, "Am I late?"
