Xingshan County was not big. If there was such a powerful figure, they would have known about it.
“He shouldn't be from Xingshan County, but I can't figure out who he is at the moment.” Wei Mingting was observing that young man with an unfamiliar face, but he didn't remember who it was.
Yun Shi guessed: "He shouldn't be the nobleman who lives in the meditation room of Fahua Temple, would he?"
There were very few important people coming to Xingshan County, so it was impossible to have two at once.
"It's possible." Wei Mingting felt the same way.
"Then Husband, will this nobleman get offended with our family because of what happened on that day and because Yichen won the competition today?" Yun Shi's worries intensified.
"Don't think too much, if he really gets angry because of those trivial matters, we can't do anything about that. But, judging from the young master's behavior just now, he doesn't seem like a narrow-minded person." Wei Mingting said.
Wei Mingting was an upright person and did his job well. If the Imperial Court wanted to punish him for his crimes against the Pirates, he would accept it. But if he was punished for such a trivial matter, he would feel really unfair.
After discussing the nobleman's identity with no avail, Wei Yichen handed over the treasured calligraphy of the Tibetan Buddhist monk that he had won to Wei Mingting.
Wei Mingting refused: "You can keep it yourself. Father knows you really like this Tibetan monk, and have always thought of him as a master.”
Wei Ruo, who was about to get on the carriage, turned her head to look at Wei Yichen when she heard these words, but soon she turned back and got inside the carriage, hugging the dried fruits and nibbling on it.
Sitting opposite Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan Ruo thoughtfully looked out through the gap in the carriage window, constantly recalling the appearance of the young master just now.
Thinking back to what her parents just said, the young master was probably the nobleman in the Fahua Temple that day, and she was worried if she left a bad impression on him that day.
If he was really a nobleman in Fahua Temple, then he was a member of the royal family. Why did the royal family come to a small place like Xingshan County?

After the competition, Chu Lan did not immediately leave, he asked his attendants to queue up and buy papers.
Holding the paper in his hands, Chu Lan was more and more certain that these papers were much better than those sold in the capital.
Lu Yuhong also noticed that the paper Chu Lan bought was different from what they usually used. It was thicker, whiter, more delicate, and smooth.
“I really can't understand. This shop is famous, it not only attracts customers with various tricks, but also sells better products than other places. Opening a shop here seems like a bit of a waste. It should be opened in the capital! Then its business would definitely be a hundred times better than this!” Lu Yuhong commented.
“Brother Yu, opening a shop in the capital is not that easy.” Said Chu Lan.
"Oh, that's right, the capital is different from this small place." Lu Yuhong nodded.
Lu Yuhong jokingly said to Chu Lan: "Your Highness, since their paper is so good and so popular with scholars, if I talk to their boss to see if they can provide me with supplies, I will help him open a shop in the capital. Then, I can earn some silver!"
No one would mind having a lot of silver, even a young master from an aristocratic family like Lu Yuhong.
"You can try. But don’t use force, so you won’t be seen as someone who abuses his authority."
"That’s impossible, do I look like that kind of scoundrel? If I were to oppress people, my grandfather would be the first to whip me to death!"

The competition was over, and today's paper had also been sold out.
The shopkeeper closed the shop, and then entered the small courtyard behind the shop, where stood a burly and modest farmer.
When the shopkeeper came in, the farmer was chopping firewood.
