Chapter 518

Madam Chen quickly understood this as well, and stopped being angry: "Alright, alright, you should take them there and settle them in."

Chen Zongwen nodded.

He made a special detour just to see his wife and daughter. Seeing that they were both well, he left with his students.

Duan Huaichuan nodded to Yun Xi and then left to lead the way for Chen Zongwen and the others.

In fact, among the students who came with Chen Zongwen, there were quite a few from prominent families. Although Jizhou was a little better than Qingshui Village, it was still not enough for them. They walked along without looking to the side.

Some people were visiting such a place for the first time, looking around so much that they could hardly take it all in.

This group of people, carrying luggage and making a great show of things, were led by Duan Huaichuan, who was dressed in official robes, and attracted a lot of attention along the way.

And so, the group finally arrived at the courtyard.

The prefect of Jizhou is already waiting here.

The prefect was tall and handsome. When he saw Chen Zongwen, he took two steps forward to greet him: "Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name!"

Chen Zongwen nodded to him as a greeting: "Thank you for taking care of my Huaichuan."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what are you saying? Lord Duan passed the imperial examination with flying colors in all three categories and was sent here by His Majesty to gain experience. I am his superior now, but in the future, I might have to bow to him when I see him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Huaichuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "You flatter me, sir."

Prefect Wang laughed twice and took a step back: "Mr. Chen, as soon as I heard you were coming, I quickly arranged this courtyard for you. Why don't I show you around? Lord Duan has just arrived in Jizhou and is not yet familiar with all the affairs. Why don't you go back and look at the official documents?"

“Alright,” Chen Zongwen nodded slightly. “Huaichuan, go ahead.”

"yes."

Duan Huaichuan bowed and left, while Chen Zongwen led his apprentices and followed Prefect Wang into the courtyard.

On the other side.

Yunxi washed her face, went to the kitchen, took a bowl of porridge, and sat down in the courtyard.

Madam Chen was sewing clothes with needle and thread in her hands. When she saw her coming, she said, "Aren't you going back to sleep for a while?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore."

Madam Chen sighed helplessly, "Your father is never steady!"

Yunxi couldn't help but laugh: "Father missed Mother, that's why he lost his temper for a moment!"

"You little brat, now you dare to laugh at your parents?"

Madam Chen glared, but it had no effect whatsoever, and Yunxi couldn't help but laugh.

That's great.

It felt like I had returned to Qingshui Village.

With her parents by her side, and even Duan Huaichuan there, such days, which had only existed in her dreams for a long time, had now truly become a tangible reality.

For a moment, Yunxi was even a little dazed, afraid that when she woke up, everything would be gone again.

"How can you be spacing out while drinking porridge?" Madam Chen glared at her. "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and drink!"

Yunxi came to her senses.

Yes, it's true.

She quickly finished the porridge, took the bowl to the kitchen, and when she came out, Madam Chen was no longer sitting on the veranda.
