Chapter 482 Magistrate Kong and his daughter come seeking help.
Magistrate Kong already had a plan in mind.
He planned to bring along the detailed document that recorded various aspects of the "Fairyland," as well as all the related information he had collected over the years, and then carefully select and organize it on the way.
In addition, he had planned to send someone to the Kong residence to inform his wife of the general situation of his trip to the capital and the news that he probably would not be able to return home today.
But then he thought, if not, he should personally go to see his daughter and ask Yiyi to help him make an introduction so that he could meet Miss Bai.
If I had learned more about the plans and intentions of the "Fairyland" before going to the capital, I would have been more confident and assured when I met the emperor...
Upon realizing this, Kong Wenfeng immediately ordered his men to prepare a carriage and return to the mansion to fetch Kong Nishang.
Meanwhile, Kong Nishang was stuck at home, looking exhausted as she read and made up for her lessons.
She sat there melancholy, scribbling and drawing, but her thoughts had already drifted far away, her mind filled with longing for [Fairyland] and Sister Bai...
Just now, Huai Yingying was vividly describing in the group chat how she and Sister Bai took a photo together at the amusement park. Kong Nishang was so envious when she heard this, she was itching to do the same!
However, although being stuck at home is a bit tough, at least I have a refreshing fruit tea from a takeout order in my hand, and a slice of cool, juicy watermelon next to me.
Life is getting by now, not as agonizing as it used to be.
Unexpectedly, just as Kong Nishang scooped a large spoonful of watermelon into her mouth, she heard the sound of a maidservant bringing a fruit platter from outside the door, growing closer as she spoke. The sound seemed urgent, as if something important had happened.
But Kong Nishang remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
In her opinion, nothing else mattered as long as her father didn't come back.
As for her father, he would never return home during his work hours.
"Miss, something terrible has happened, Miss..."
To ensure her eating and drinking were undisturbed, Kong Nishang specially sent the fruit platter to the front hall to keep watch.
In case of any disturbance, we can come and report it immediately.
The fruit platter, which was being delivered by a yamen runner, was launched from afar, before the runner could even finish speaking.
We must hurry and inform the young lady that the master is about to return... Don't let your legs give way, run fast, you absolutely cannot let down the sweet water the young lady has given you!
"Hiccup~"
Kong Nishang was hurriedly swallowing a big mouthful of watermelon when she was startled by the shout from the fruit plate, and almost squeezed the watermelon into juice right in her mouth.
"Hey, fruit platter, what are you yelling about? You really startled me..."
"Miss...it seems the master has returned?!"
"When I heard that someone from the yamen had arrived, and I noticed he addressed me as 'Master' several times, I rushed here to inform Miss first!"
Guopan said breathlessly.
"Ah? My dad! Just what I feared has come true! Quick, quick, fruit platter, help me hide all these takeout orders, I absolutely can't let Dad see them..." Kong Nishang was so anxious that she was in a fluster.
If her father found out that she was so carefree while studying, he would definitely punish her by making her copy books.
So the master and servant, like ants on a hot pan, hurriedly bent over and hid all the food on the ground...
After all that work, it was Mother who came in…
When Madam Kong saw her daughter's pretentious manner, even holding the book upside down, she first gave her a helpless glare.
She then repeated what her husband had sent through a messenger, and told Yiyi to hurry out to the yamen to find her father.
After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed in the slightest.
When Kong Nishang heard that her father was going to the capital, and that it was by the current emperor's designation, she immediately realized the importance of the matter.
She readily complied, quickly tidied herself up, and then followed him out to the yamen (government office)...
Wow, Sister Bai's "Fairyland" is really amazing! I didn't expect it to go viral so quickly, and it even reached the Emperor's ears!
Just a few days ago, she accompanied Sister Bai to the capital for the first time to promote the pioneering work.
Only a few days have passed, yet the palace is already using high-speed rail for summons. The efficiency is simply incredible...
Thinking about this, she could roughly guess why her father had come to call her.
So, while the carriage was traveling, Kong Nishang used her bracelet to ask Sister Bai where she was in the group chat, and also briefly mentioned her father's situation.
Unexpectedly, Sister Bai replied to the message instantly.
They said that the group was still in the buffet restaurant, and thoughtfully offered to arrange a "flying taxi" to pick them up at the government office.
Afterwards, Kong Nishang met her father and heard him ask her to help contact Miss Bai. She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with her accurate prediction and her seemingly precognitive insight.
She proudly recounted in detail how she had already contacted Sister Bai and that even the car had been arranged by Sister Bai.
Having rarely praised his daughter, Kong Wenfeng didn't dare delay and quickly invited Chen Xiao up. The group planned to go to the "Fairyland" first.
After all, they would have to wait in the waiting hall within the [Fairyland] territory to take the high-speed train later.
It's important to know that only in the [Fairyland] high-speed rail station are the entry and exit stations separate.
Passengers arriving from elsewhere exit from outside the station; however, those departing from "Fairyland" must enter "Fairyland" and go to the waiting and rest hall inside to buy tickets and board the train.
Bai Mengran learned from Kong Nishang that Magistrate Kong was coming to see her, so she told the other friends to continue eating and drinking at the buffet while she went to the door to greet Yiyi and the others.
After meeting them, she took them directly to the VIP waiting room in the waiting hall.
It's quiet and not crowded here, making it easy to communicate.
Seeing that Chen Xiao was present, Lord Kong felt it was inconvenient to speak frankly about some things.
Bai Mengran understood, so she called a shop assistant to help lead Chen Xiao to try the buffet in the VIP room.
Although Chen Xiao had eaten some snacks at the yamen earlier to fill his stomach, he had been traveling for more than half a day and hadn't had a proper meal, so he was indeed quite hungry.
Although I felt a little embarrassed at that moment, my eyes lit up the instant I saw the buffet.
Seeing that Guard Chen had gone to eat, Kong Wenfeng quickly seized the opportunity to frankly tell Bai Mengran about his upcoming trip to the capital to meet the emperor.
"It is really too much trouble for Miss Bai. This should be my duty as the county magistrate."
However... I was really afraid that something might go wrong with this sudden invitation to go to the capital and meet the Emperor directly.
Presumably, the main reason for being summoned by the Emperor this time is because a "fairyland" has appeared in Yongle County!
"I will speak frankly about all of Miss Bai's beneficial deeds to the people and report them truthfully to His Majesty..."
After listening to Kong Wenfeng's roundabout and repetitive remarks, Bai Mengran could tell that he was nervous and anxious.
So she pondered for a while, wondering what could be of help to Magistrate Kong.
