Lin Hao had been in seclusion for a few months to prepare for the academy's entrance exam. During this period, not only did he cut off all contact with the outside world (cough cough, although he did not have many friends outside), he even stopped reading his favorite novel, "Talking World". In these few months, he had devoted all his attention to preparing for the exam!
Now that the exam was over, how could Lin Hao, who had been "holding it in" for so long, hold it in? Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for him. He wanted to finish reading all the novels that he had accumulated during this period, especially his favorite, "Celestial Bane". He had heard from the maid that the novel was finished, but in order to focus on preparing for the exam, he had held it in for the past few months and did not read it!
The Lin Family had a celebratory feast. In the courtyard where Chen Shuozhen and Chen Shuoyu were temporarily staying, there was also a celebratory feast. However, the difference was that the dishes on the table were all prepared by Chen Shuozhen herself. After all, at this time, other than the brothels, all the restaurants on the street were closed. If she did not cook, she could only starve!
Looking at the dishes on the table, although they did not look, smell, and taste good, they were at least presentable. Moreover, if one was close enough, it was easy to smell the appetizing aroma of the dishes. It was said that the children of the poor matured early. Now, it seemed that this sentence was true!
"Wow! It smells so good! "
Chen Shuoyu put her little face in front of the plate and greedily took a deep breath. She praised happily, "Sister! Your cooking is still so good! "
"Hmph! Of course! "
Chen Shuozhen proudly raised her chin, then looked at her little sister and said with a doting face, "Okay! Sit down and eat! I came back late today, and the market is closed. Wait for me to buy some chicken, duck, and meat tomorrow, and I'll let you eat to your heart's content! "
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing that, Chen Shuoyu suddenly jumped up and down in excitement. After all, for the people of this era, they could only eat meat once or twice during festivals. Moreover, they might not be able to eat meat every year. It depended on the harvest. If the harvest was not good, they might not even be able to eat rice, let alone meat. Therefore, meat was a fatal attraction to the children of ordinary families in this era! However, Chen Shuoyu had also reached a sensible age. The little girl was only excited for a moment before her small face fell.
"Sis, forget it! Didn't you say that we only have twenty strings of money left? It's better to save some money! Xiao Yu doesn't need to eat chicken, duck, or fish! "
Chen Shuoyu obviously wanted to eat, but she tried her best to pretend that she didn't want to eat. Chen Shuozhen found it funny, but she also felt a little sad. She couldn't help rubbing Chen Shuoyu's head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, who said we don't have money? Sister earned another hundred strings of coins today! "
"What? Sister, we have an extra 100 strings of coins ~? Are you serious? "
Hearing this, Chen Shuoyu couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
Chen Shuozhen pinched her little sister's cheeks and said, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Sit down and eat! It won't taste good when it's cold! "
"Oh!"
Chen Shuoyu sat down and asked curiously, "Sister! Where did you earn a hundred strings of coins? Aren't you taking the exam at Yanhuang College today? "
"Aiya! Why do you have so many questions? Eat! Can't such delicious food shut your mouth? "
Chen Shuozhen didn't want her sister to come into contact with the complicated people and matters outside. Hearing this, she pretended to be angry and scolded.
"Oh! I'll eat! I'll eat! Sister, don't be angry! "

"Marquis, there's a letter from Qingzhou!"
Lantian County, Marquis Yong 'an's backyard. Li Zexuan had just returned to his room after dinner when Pang Feiji knocked on the door and whispered.
"Hmm? A letter from Qingzhou? "
Inside the room, Li Zexuan frowned. He quickly moved to the door and opened it quickly. He saw Pang Feiji outside the door, holding a letter above his head and said, "Yes! Marquis! It's an urgent letter from the former Qingzhou Provincial Governor's Office. It just arrived in the county fifteen minutes ago. I was worried that there might be an emergency, so I hurriedly sent it over. Sorry to disturb Marquis's rest, please … "
"Hmm! I know what you mean. There's no need to say more! You're doing the right thing! "
Without waiting for Pang Feiji to finish speaking, Li Zexuan patted the latter's shoulder and interrupted him.
As he spoke, he had already taken the letter from Pang Feiji's hands. He didn't deliberately avoid it. He directly opened the letter in front of Pang Feiji. Under the light in the room, Li Zexuan read the contents of the letter with unusual seriousness.
After a long time, Li Zexuan kept the letter and looked at Pang Feiji expressionlessly. "Alright! There's nothing for you to do now! You've been in the north for so long. It's time for you to accompany your family. Go back quickly! "
Pang Feiji looked touched. "It's my duty to serve Marquis!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright! Duty is duty, but no matter what, you can't leave your family behind. Go back quickly! "
Pang Feiji had just gotten married last month. Originally, they were newlyweds and should have been inseparable. However, who knew that there would be a plague of locusts? Li Zexuan would lead the Sky Pheasant Brigade up north to exterminate the locusts. As Li Zexuan's personal guard, how could Pang Feiji not go? He had been gone for more than half a month. Now that he was finally back, logically speaking, he should go back to accompany his wife and family!
Li Zexuan, who still had some modern thinking in his bones, was very humane when it came to the management of his subordinates!
Seeing that Li Zexuan's attitude was firm, Pang Feiji finally didn't insist. He clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, Marquis! I'll take my leave! "
After saying that, Pang Feiji clasped his fist and left.
Li Zexuan closed the door and turned to walk into the house.
"Husband, did something happen again?"
Han Yuxi came over and hurriedly asked.
Just now, she had heard the conversation between Li Zexuan and Pang Feiji at the door. However, hearing was one thing. She wouldn't interrupt. At this time, there were only the two of them in the room. Only then did she ask.
Li Zexuan pretended to be relaxed and laughed, "Haha! Nothing big. Wife, let's rest! "
Han Yuxi looked at Li Zexuan suspiciously. She always felt that things weren't as simple as Li Zexuan said. However, with her understanding of Li Zexuan, if Li Zexuan didn't want to say something, it would be useless even if she asked more. Therefore, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and nodded, "Okay!"
After saying that, she turned to tidy up the bed.
At this time, Li Zexuan secretly sighed. Naturally, things weren't as simple as he said. Otherwise, the people in Qingzhou wouldn't have rushed over 800 miles to send a letter. However, what was the use of saying such things? It would only increase the worry of one person!
There were changes in Qingzhou!
