...
By the time Zhao Huai came out of the house, it was already noon.
The sun had risen.
Zhao Huai walked out onto the street, looked at the sky, and couldn't help but mutter, "I hope this method can turn misfortune into blessings."
He set off on his way back.
It should be okay for Pei Xiangyun to watch the shop alone, so long as she doesn't mess up the prices.
According to Madam's letter, she should be back in a few days.
"Sugar-coated haws for sale!"
"No charge if they're not sweet!"
Every now and then, vendors pushing carts selling sugar-coated haws passed by the street.
For some reason, whenever Zhao Huai saw sugar-coated haws, the first thing that came to his mind was Madam's smiling face.
The longer he couldn't see her, the more he missed her.
Even when looking up at the azure sky and the endless clouds, he could see her silhouette.
"Give me one."
Without further ado, Zhao Huai took out a few copper coins from his waist and picked out a large one from the stick.
