Chen Yan looked at Wu Wei, who felt that his talent was not appreciated, and didn't know how to comfort him.

If I had just passed the imperial examination and was exiled to the northern border to serve as an official because I had no connections or money, and had been doing that for more than ten years, I would probably be similar to the current Wu and Wei dynasties.

In the face of what Wu Wei had just said carelessly, he did not continue to ask. This was the true thought of every official in a remote area. At least he had not forgotten the sage books he had learned just because he felt his talent was not appreciated. In Linyuan County, he was also a great official praised by everyone.

So he extended his hand to signal them to come in. "My humble abode is simple, so please come with me to see Min Niang. I wonder if she's awake now."

"Teacher, please go first."

Wu Wei still let Shen Yan walk in front, so he always called himself Shen Yan's student, and Shen Yan felt embarrassed to let him walk in front.

The three of them walked towards the courtyard and happened to meet the three people who had come over at Ma Song's request. Now that they knew each other's identities, they all greeted each other immediately. "Hello, Magistrate Wu!"

"Master's wife, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just here to check on Min Niang today. You don't have to treat me like an official."

Standing in the front was Old Madam Shen. Seeing this, Wu Wei quickly helped her up. Moreover, he was only wearing casual clothes and was not visiting as a county magistrate.

Therefore, he did not want the Shen family to perform these false rituals, but the Shen family would not forget the other party's identity. In Linyuan County, Wu Wei was the highest official. How could these criminals treat him the same as others?

Actually, Wu Wei wanted to come here today to reminisce about the past. Visiting Shen Min was just an excuse. Besides, Shen Min's current identity was not suitable for outsiders to see.

"Huaiyuan, let's go in first. I'll take a look at Minniang's health before we talk about anything else."

Shen Yan came out to break the deadlock, and Wu Wei also let go of the hand that was still supporting Old Lady Shen, and the group walked towards where Shen Min lived.

Knowing that Wu Wei was here to check on Shen Min's health, Shen's mother went inside first, looked at the drowsy Shen Min, and came out shaking her head at everyone.

Chen Yan immediately said: "In this case, we two teachers and students will go to my study to talk first. Min Niang has already seen a doctor and returned home. I believe she will recover soon."

"Yes, teacher, please go first."

In this way, the two of them came to Chen Yan's study, and the servant who came with Wu Wei was invited by the Shen family to have tea aside.

Chen Yan brewed a pot of tea with the boiling water in the house, and then placed the teacup in front of Wu Wei. "As you can see, there is only a little coarse tea at home, so please don't be shy."

"Teacher, you're joking. I haven't lived like this all these years. Even coarse tea has its own unique flavor. Besides, it's quite remarkable that you came to the North and bought up such a family business.

I would like to apologize here. Human traffickers walked through Linyuan County, which I manage, so openly, but I did not raise any alarm.

I don't know how many people from our Dasheng Dynasty have fled to the Western Regions over the years. I feel ashamed of my teacher's teachings. I used to boast that I had done a lot for the county, but now it seems that I really made many mistakes.

Even the common people haven't had a good life under my rule, and Linyuan County's achievements are nothing compared to anything in the entire northern border."

Today, Wu Wei didn't know what medicine he took, but he cried to Shen Yan about all the bitterness he had experienced over the years. Life in the north was really too hard. If you let people choose, who wouldn't want to stay in the south of the Yangtze River with a more suitable climate?

This look of complaining frightened Chen Yan quite a bit. Who could have known that his student had suffered so much here for so many years?

Looking at the non-stop chatter, Shen Yan really couldn't bear to interrupt. In the end, Wu Wei even talked about himself.

"Teacher, you don't know that even if I wanted to be a corrupt official in Linyuan County, I couldn't do it. It's my greatest luck that the people have enough food and money to survive year after year. If we are not careful and encounter a disaster, and the people are living in poverty, my career as an official will be over.

I believe you have seen the simple appearance of our county government before. I can't even afford to renovate the facade of this county. I am really ashamed.

I haven't learned anything from you, my teacher, over the years. You've been a good official and worthy of the people. Seeing that you're living well now, I'm relieved."

Chen Yan also recalled the large number of disaster victims pouring into Ning'an Town. He thought that the county town was not much better. Wu Wei must be under a lot of pressure, and the court would not allocate funds. After being an official for a long time, everyone has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Huaiyuan, you've suffered a lot these past few years. How are you going to deal with the disaster victims coming from the north?"

"Let's not let everyone starve to death for now. When good news comes from the north, most people will return to their own fields. I've gotten used to it over the years."

"It's hard to leave our homeland. If things get better in the north, many people would be willing to go back and live there again."

The two men discussed the current problems in Linyuan County, and by the time they realized it was getting late, it was almost dark.

Chen Yan rubbed his beard sheepishly. "In that case, Huaiyuan will stay at your house for one night. The town outside is full of disaster victims. It would be bad if something unexpected happened in the dark."

"The student will respectfully obey your orders. Thank you, teacher."

Wu Wei felt that he had benefited a lot from talking with Shen Yan this afternoon. This experienced official handled things much more smoothly than himself. He might be able to learn something from staying with him for a night.

The four people from the local workshop who had been busy all day returned home and learned that the county magistrate had come to visit them. They came to the table and bowed, then said in unison, "Hello, County Magistrate Wu!"

"No need to be polite, Teacher. Your grandchildren are all handsome and talented, which makes Huaiyuan envious."

"Hahahahaha! You're joking. They're just having a minor fight now.

This is my eldest granddaughter, Jianiang. Next to her is Miss Chen Fuqiu. They are the ones who built the tofu workshop and shop in the town. The others are Chen Ci and Yue Niang, who are also helping out and learning something."

Wu Wei instantly became interested after hearing this, and his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. "It turns out that the tofu my mother likes to eat the most is from the teacher's family. It's my fault that I am not sensitive to the word Shen.

Today, the reputation of Shen’s tofu is not only spread in Linyuan County, but also in the neighboring counties. It is often said that it is difficult to find a piece of it.

I wonder if my niece has decided when to open her shop in the county town? I see everyone loves your tofu very much now."

Now only Huicuilou brings tofu to the county town, and some villages also sell it. Now the only difficulty left is to conquer the county town. Shen Jia also heard what Wu Wei said.

"County Magistrate Wu is overly kind. This tofu is eaten for its novelty. People are eating it now for the novelty, and there's no telling what it will taste like in the future.

Just because of your words, we can open the shop in the county town without any worries. We hope you can take good care of our Shen's Tofu business in the future."

"Of course, I will definitely take care of the Shen family's business. Tofu is not expensive, your Uncle Wu can still afford it."

"No more talking, no more talking, the food is getting cold."

Seeing Wu Wei still interested in continuing the conversation, Chen Yan came out to interrupt. The food had already been served, and if they didn't eat in this cold weather, it would soon lose its heat.

"Yes, yes, let's eat."

Wu Wei also realized that he seemed a little too excited just now, and immediately responded to Shen Yan's words.

In order to show off his family's heritage, Shen Yan specially called Shen Yu out to cook. Although it was not a gentleman's behavior for a man to cook, Shen Yu had cooked so many times now, so this time was not a bad omen. The magistrate had to treat him to something good when he came to his house.

Sure enough, after eating, Wu Wei was full of praise for the delicacies on the table and praised the Shen family highly.

After listening to Wu Wei's words that day, Shen Jia was even more focused on quickly advancing his business layout, and everything was going on in full swing.

The flesh that Shen Min had lost gradually grew back. These days, it was Old Madam Shen who was accompanying her daughter. Since Shen Min had recovered a lot now, the others also started to busy themselves with their own affairs.

Shen Min looked at her old mother who worked hard for her, and she felt distressed. Mother Shen brought a bowl of medicine she had just prepared into the room.

Madam Shen took the medicine and said to Shen Min, who had recovered a lot:

"Minniang, if we take a few more bowls of medicine, our bodies will be fully recovered. Let's take the medicine obediently, okay?"

In fact, when Shen Min was at home, she was just like a little girl who didn't want to take medicine. Old Madam Shen didn't restrain her and would always give her a lot of candied fruits to hold in her mouth after she finished taking the medicine.

Shen Minyuan, who had experienced so much pain, didn't need to do this, but he didn't want to disappoint his mother, so he still smiled with the candied fruit in his mouth.

Today was just like any other day. After Shen Min finished the medicine in the bowl in small sips, Old Madam Shen quickly handed her some candied fruit. She picked one and put it in her mouth.

She tried to speak as usual, "Thank...thank...mother...mother!"

This time she actually heard the sound she made. She was so surprised that her eyes widened.

The small dish in Mrs. Shen's hand fell directly from her hand, and she cried with joy: "What? What did you say? Min Niang, your voice has recovered!"

"I'm going to tell other people this news."

When Shen's mother heard it, she was stunned and stood there without moving. When she realized that she was not hallucinating, she immediately ran away.

This good news must be told to others as soon as possible. She has seen how everyone is worried about Shen Min's throat these days.

Old Madam Shen didn't care about the candied fruit that was spilled at her feet. She rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. Tears streamed down her face as she said in a sobbing voice:

"It's good to recover, it's good to recover, our Min Niang is finally back to normal."
