Although Li Yu came to the city to visit the library, he felt very sad when he saw how his second son was living.

So I decided that it would be better for me to take care of these two sons myself.

So today's dinner was cooked by Li Yu himself.

She hasn't cooked for a long time. Ever since Aunt Zhou came to her house, Li Yu felt that her cooking skills were a piece of shit.

Apart from a few home-cooked dishes, there is nothing special about it.

It can't be compared with other people's professional chefs, and the food in ancient times was really rich and varied.

It’s just that some seasonings are too expensive, so most people just steam or boil them, and oil is also expensive.

Especially vegetable oil, which led to Lin Hai and others thinking that Li Yu’s cooking skills were good.

Lin Jiang and Lin He gave Li Yu a lot of face while eating.

"Mom, your cooking is still the best."

Li Yu: ...

I'm afraid your taste buds are not right, the meals she cooks are home-style at best.

"Stop bragging. I know very well how good your mother is at cooking. Let's eat quickly."

Li Yu felt that Lin Jiang had changed since he came out and had learned to flatter.

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask my third brother."

After saying that, he turned to Lin He and asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Lin He nodded: "Yes, it's good, very delicious."

Li Yu was overjoyed by the flattery from his two sons.

"I know, I know, let's eat quickly."

Even if it's fake, she's happy.

Early the next morning, Lin He was going to Qu's house. According to the rules of these wealthy families, he had to hand in a visiting card.

Li Yu felt that people might find it rude if he went there like this, so he reminded Lin He.

"Don't you need to hand in a visiting card? I remember wealthy families need one."

"I handed it over yesterday when I went out shopping."

Okay, big boy, you don’t need to be reminded anymore, Li Yu was very relieved.

"That's good. Go early and come back early. I won't go."

Apart from their relationship with Qu Xiangbai, they really have no connection with the Qu family.

Li Yu didn't want to go, and they weren't old friends.

Qu Xiangbai happened to be in the provincial capital recently, so he was there when Lin He arrived.

But Qu Qinghui and Qu Qingxu were not there because His Majesty had pardoned the younger generation of the Qu family.

Both of them now have jobs. One went to a remote place to serve as a parent palace and has already taken up the post.

Qu Qingxu went to the border, which even Qu Xiangbai did not expect.

Although there are no major battles on the border now, there are still many minor frictions.

Knowing that Qu Qingxu was going to the border, Mrs. Qu Liang and her daughter-in-law cried for half the night.

But they all knew that they couldn't stop him. He was still young and couldn't just stay at home and waste time.

Qu Qinghui was a Jinshi, so it was not difficult for him to find an official position outside the capital. However, it was not the same for Qu Qingxu. When something happened in his family, he was not even a Juren.

He thought about it for a long time and decided to join the army.

Now that both sons are gone, Qu Chaonan and his wife seem to have aged a lot, so Qu Xiangbai stays at home in the city whenever he has time.

Liang has always liked Lin He, and has never concealed her love for him since the first time they met.

Knowing he was coming, I had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a lot of food for him.

At the banquet, she even blamed him, "You said you came to the capital to take the exam, why don't you stay here? The palace is so empty now, and you coming here will also increase the popularity."

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. Because of my second brother, my mother has rented a courtyard in the capital city, which is large enough for us to live in."

Lin He politely refused. Even if Mrs. Qu liked him very much, it was impossible for him to live in her house.

In the past, I had no choice but to do so. Now that I have the conditions, I don’t have to live under someone else’s roof.

And if he didn't forget, there were still two unmarried girls in the Qu family.

Once something happens, it’s really hard to explain. Besides, no one’s home is as comfortable as your own.

Although Lin He refused, Mrs. Qu still tried to persuade him earnestly.

"How can you two take care of yourselves? Besides, you still have exams to take, so you need someone to take good care of you."

Qu Xiangbai and Qu Chaonan looked at each other and knew that his aunt had other ideas.

Neither of them will comment on this matter. If it succeeds, that's great. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter.

Liang didn't expect that even after she said so, Lin He remained indifferent.

"Don't worry about that, Madam. My mother is here with us this time, and she will take care of us."

Lin He was unwilling, and Liang Shi couldn't say anything, besides, it was his mother who came to take care of him personally.

Then I'll have to bring this up next time I have the chance.

"Your mother is here? Why don't you come over and take a look?"

She wondered if it would be better to directly propose Lin He's marriage to Li Yu.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam. My mother said she came from the countryside and didn't know many of the rules, so she didn't come. I'll come and see you next time I have the chance."

Having said that, Liang couldn't say anything else.
