Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Feng San Niang spent another day in a daze at home, not knowing what was wrong with her.

She was certain that she hadn't fallen for anyone. They had only met twice, and the other person was just a young man experiencing his first love. How could she possibly fall for him?

Perhaps it's just dissatisfaction with my current life...

As darkness fell, Sun Yuan returned with heavy steps and a dazed expression. Feng San Niang hurried to greet him, but she was preoccupied and did not notice the strange look on her husband's face!

Both of them were preoccupied with worries and tossed and turned all night. When Feng San Niang woke up the next day, she found that Sun Yuan was still asleep and had not gone out. She did not wake him up. After washing up by herself, she saw that it was getting dark and took her basket and went out.

No sooner had she left than Sun Yuan jumped up, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and found a small bag of money. This was Feng San Niang's secret stash of money. He picked it up, weighed it in his hand, and stuffed it into his pocket, muttering, "Don't worry, I'll return this money tonight!"

Feng San Niang walked out of the alley and looked up to see the scholar again. He was staring straight at her, as if waiting for something. His eyes lit up when he saw her!

"Sigh!" Upon seeing him, Feng Sanniang felt quite conflicted. She sighed softly and decided to give the young man some advice, telling him not to have such unrealistic ideas.

"Why are you here today?" Feng Sanniang walked over quickly, without even stopping.

Gao Zhao followed behind her, scratching his head, and said, "I was held up by something yesterday, and you had already gone back when I arrived..."

"Who asked you that!" Feng Sanniang paused, thinking the scholar was a bit foolish, and turned her head, saying irritably, "I asked you what you've been doing here all this time?"

The scholar blushed and mustered his courage to say, "I...I want to see you!"

Feng Sanniang was taken aback, then her face darkened, and she earnestly advised, "What you're doing is wrong. I'm already married. You should go find women your own age, not me!"

"Hmm!" The scholar lowered his head in disappointment, but did not turn around and leave. He continued to follow her silently.

Feng Sanniang heard the footsteps behind her and looked somewhat helpless. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen.

She slowed her pace slightly, and when the scholar caught up, she asked softly, "What's your name?"

The scholar's face immediately lit up with joy, and he replied, "My name is Fan Tong, I'm from Jiangning, and I'm unmarried!"

"Pah! Who asked if you were married or not!" Feng Sanniang blushed and spat lightly. "I'm warning you, don't you dare have any improper thoughts about me!"

"No, no!" The scholar blushed and hurriedly waved his hands, embarrassed, "I just feel happy when I see my sister!"

"Hmph, don't try to sweet-talk me! You're still too green!" Feng Sanniang raised her head and strode forward.

Gao Zhao watched her swaying waist, like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind, and couldn't help but secretly admire her, thinking, "She's got some skills!"

Before long, Feng Sanniang finished selecting the vegetables, paid the bill, and was about to leave when Gao Zhao suddenly said, "I've only been in Tokyo for a short time. I've only heard that this place is prosperous, but I haven't had a chance to explore it properly. I wonder if you have some free time to show me around?"

Feng Sanniang hesitated upon hearing this. Dongjing City was indeed a prosperous place, but for ordinary people like them living in the streets and alleys, it was not a place they visited often. However, she was tempted by his suggestion.

She felt it was inappropriate to travel with a strange man, but then she thought that since they had already talked things out, it wasn't a big deal. As long as she kept her composure, even if the scholar had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Thinking of this, he said, "Then wait for me a moment, I'll go back and get some money!"

Gao Zhao quickly waved his hand and said, "Since you're showing me around, there's no reason for you to pay. If you're going to hold a grudge, you should ask me for money for showing you around!"

"Then wait for me!" Feng Sanniang smiled and hurriedly ran back. But when she got to the door, she remembered that Sun Yuan was still at home when she left. If he found out that she had gone out with another man, that would be terrible!

She hesitated for a moment, trying to come up with an excuse, but when she opened the door, she didn't see him. It seemed he had gone out. She was secretly relieved and overjoyed.

She then hurriedly changed into a dress and rushed out the door.

After the two met, Feng Sanniang led them to places like Gaotou Street and Panlou East Street, where they bought small items such as cosmetics, handkerchiefs, and shoes and socks.

Feng Sanniang even made a point of telling him to stay away so as not to run into acquaintances and be recognized in an embarrassing situation!

As she had instructed, Gao Zhao followed her from a distance. He only approached to pay after she had finished buying the items. When Feng San Niang declined, he said to be careful that acquaintances might see her, so she had no choice but to give up.

After strolling around for a while, Feng San Niang regretted it, feeling as if she had been stealing someone's affections.

So they left and went further afield, looking around as they went, and before they knew it, they had entered the inner city.

It was noon when Gao Zhao looked up and saw Fanlou. He wanted to go in for a meal, but Feng Sanniang had never been to such a place before. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying it was too expensive.

"You deserve the best!" Gao Zhao whispered in her ear, then pulled her inside without further ado.

As soon as Feng Sanniang entered, she saw that everyone coming and going was dressed in fine clothes, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.

Gao Zhao, however, remained calm and composed. He tossed a wad of cash to the waiter and ordered, "Private room, bring out your signature dishes."

Feng San Niang was dazed and confused as she was pulled into the private room. She was stunned by the delicious food that was served one after another. It was the first time in her life that she had ever seen such a luxurious scene.

The meal felt like a dream. Only after we finished and left the restaurant did I realize that several dishes were still untouched. I felt a pang of regret, thinking I should have packed them up to take home.

However, she then thought that if she took it back, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Sun Yuan... Suddenly, she thought of her husband and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Just then, Gao Zhao dragged her into a silk shop. The various exquisite silks and satins dazzled her, and she instantly forgot all the guilt she had felt.

"Today I'm giving you a set of clothes as a token of my gratitude for the time I spent taking you on this trip. Please don't refuse!"

Feng Sanniang, who was about to decline, was immediately silenced by these words. She thought that he must have seen her awkwardness in Fanlou, which was why he brought her to buy clothes. Her heart warmed.

Gao Zhao led her through the ready-made clothes, praising them incessantly. Before long, Feng San Niang was laughing and chatting happily. Even when Gao Zhao chose a white embroidered bodice for her, she only scolded him a few times before gladly accepting it.

Gao Zhao then escorted her back. On the way, they encountered Fu An, whom he glanced at without saying a word. Only after seeing Feng San Niang to the end of the alley did he whisper, "I just heard that the day after tomorrow is the Ningkuang Festival, and there's a temple fair at Daxiangguo Temple. How about we go and have a look together?"

In a good mood, Feng San Niang didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

Gao Zhao whispered in her ear, "Sister, you must wear your new clothes the day after tomorrow, and also wear the ones I picked out!"

Feng Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the strapless dress he had chosen, her cheeks flushed red, and she raised her hand as if to hit him.

Gao Zhao turned and ran, then turned back and laughed, "Sister, don't forget!"

"Pah! Dream on!" Feng Sanniang stamped her foot and scolded coquettishly.

Gao Zhao laughed and ran off towards Fu'an. His smile vanished, and he said calmly, "What is it?"

Fu An bowed and said, "That Qin Hui is about to collapse."
