Xu Jiang's heart was burning with joy, and she quickly followed suit, praising him: "Yes, thanks to Lord Lou's wisdom and decisiveness."

When Lou Yunchun was mentioned, the chief clerk's expression froze for a moment, and he laughed awkwardly twice. Then he bowed to her and said, "There are more and more people here. I'll go help. Excuse me."

"I am sorry to bother you, please do as you please, sir."

Xu Jiang came out of the government office, her heart filled with overwhelming emotions. She didn't want to go back to the bookstore, so she rode her donkey to the Dali Temple.

When Lou Yunchun came out of the imperial city, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and then he was filled with overwhelming fatigue.

For five consecutive days, he worked tirelessly to review files, check the accounts of Jisheng Bookstore, and compile a list of officials bribed by Zhou Huai and Zhou Shancai. Even the strongest person could not endure it.

At this moment, he was eager to return to Huailiu Lane, eager to see the woman who had been haunting his dreams, and fall asleep peacefully beside her.

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, he immediately set off towards Yonghefang. As soon as he reached Zhuque Street, he saw a familiar man and a donkey waiting by the roadside.

At this moment, he thought he was dizzy from exhaustion.

When Xu Jiang saw Lou Yunchun coming out of the imperial city, she smiled and waved to him.

Lou Yunchun stared at her blankly for a long time before blinking and running towards her in surprise.

He tightened the reins, his two dark eyes almost fixed on Xu Jiang's face, his eyes unable to conceal his joy, "Why are you here?"

Xu Jiang smiled brightly and said, "I'm here to take you home."

She went to the Dali Temple first. The guard recognized her and told her earnestly that Lou Yunchun had been summoned to the palace, so he came here to wait for him.

She came to pick him up?

Lou Yunchun felt that most of the tiredness in his body disappeared, and his heart felt as if it had flowed into a deep spring, clear and soft.

Seeing Lou Yunchun's pale face and dark circles under his eyes, Xu Jiang couldn't hide his distress. He hurriedly whispered to him, "Let's go back and have a good rest."

"Okay." Lou Yunchun's eyes never left Xu Jiang.

The two walked side by side, and Xu Jiang whispered to Lou Yunchun about the book tasting banquet, making bamboo incense, bamboo tube rice, and the grand occasion of the government office today.

He listened with a smile, hoping that the road under his feet would never end.

After returning to the bookstore, Liang Mo was about to lock the door and go home. When he saw the two people coming back, he greeted them with a smile and ran home.

He runs around like this every day and doesn't seem tired.

Shopkeeper Wang also closed his shop. He exchanged a few words with Lou Yunchun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and then went to the warm and friendly place.

The two of them closed the door and rested, tied up the donkey and watered the horse. After Xu Jiang gave the fodder, she turned around and fell into Lou Yunchun's arms.

Lou Yunchun hugged her tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and sighed softly.

Xu Jiang patted his back gently and said, "If you are tired, take a rest. I will go to cook."

Lou Yunchun rubbed her ear and said, "I'll accompany you."

Actually, I just want her to accompany me.

Xu Jiang touched his face and said softly, "Alright."

This meal is very simple, made with love, fire from the heart, soup from longing, seasoned with spiritual resonance, and topped with a spoonful of lovesickness. The best taste of the world is all melted in it.

The two of them sat opposite each other in front of the fire, eating a bowl of worldly noodles and half a pot of worldly soup, feeling relaxed and at peace.
