Although they were dressed reasonably well when they appeared in Beishan, the weariness in their appearance had not yet disappeared.

All of this suggests that they must be from Wuning Prefecture.

Fearing they would die from the plague, they sought a way out and endured countless hardships to reach this place!

As this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Chi Yu say, "Amu, this is Song Chongjin, the scholar Song. The girl beside him is named Song An'an."

They are from Mingyang County, Wuning Prefecture, and arrived in Beishan a few days ago.

Although Chi Yu's words were simple, Qin Mu understood them perfectly.

He looked at Song Chongjin and saw that the other man was also looking at him, as if he had something to say.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and before Chi Yu could introduce him to Song Chongjin, he said:

"Scholar Song, my name is Qin Mu. I have some questions for you, but now is not the right time. I will come to find you tomorrow."

Song Chongjin, who had originally intended to get in touch with the county magistrate through Qin Mu, nodded decisively upon hearing this and thinking about what he was about to do.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Chi Yu ignored all of that. She took the basket from Chi Sen's wrist, opened it, and saw that there were still things inside.

After thinking for a moment, she took out an egg and handed it over.

"Thank you An'an for helping me carry my things back. Here, have this egg!"

In the past, based on her upbringing, Lin Shan would not have accepted anything that came out of nowhere, let alone just an egg.

But after experiencing the ordeal of fleeing, she deeply understood the difficulty of obtaining food.

What's more, they are eggs, which are good for your health.

So she didn't refuse, but instead bowed to thank Chi Yu after accepting it.

"Auntie Little Fish, thank you. I really like it, and thank you for your help."

Once my family is settled here and our lives are comfortable, I will repay you.

Oh, right, there's still a section in the river I haven't finished collecting. I'll collect more for you tomorrow, Auntie Little Fish, okay?

It makes no sense for a fish in a pond to want to raise snails in a larger space.

"Okay, as long as it's something your family found, and it's the same as what we found this morning, I'll take it all."

Alright, it's getting late, you should head back now and drive carefully!

As Chi Yu spoke, she waved to her, then picked up the wooden bucket and said to Chi Sen, "Ah Sen, let's go!"

"Hey, coming!"

Chi Sen knew that Qin Mu's uncle had participated in the county examination this time, and he wanted to ask him what the exam was about, how he did, and how difficult it was.

But now was not the time to speak, so he planned to ask again when he got back.

However, my aunt's husband has already arrived, so it seems that my aunt must have gotten married before them.

Otherwise, it would seem a bit inappropriate for them to get married before their aunt!

While Chi Sen was thinking about these things, Qin Mu took the bucket from Chi Yu's hand, handed it to him, and said:

"Ah Sen, your aunt is a woman, she shouldn't be asked to carry these things."

"Okay, I'll wait here with her, you go back and get someone to come and get it."

"good!"

As Chi Sen spoke, he carried a wooden bucket in each hand and walked away.

Chiyu could simply put these things in the space, since they would have to be put in there eventually anyway.

But because Chi Sen was there, and because Qin Mu hadn't been told about the space, he could only watch helplessly as Chi Sen walked away.

Once the person was out of sight and the wooden fence behind him was closed, Qin Mu asked:

"Little Fish, tomorrow is March, and I'm going to the prefectural city in April to take the imperial examination."

Our marriage should be arranged as soon as possible.

Before I came here, Mr. Fang said he wanted to come as a member of my husband's family to participate in our wedding.

He's busy these days, so I'm thinking we can wait until the sixth day of the third lunar month. What do you think?

Another thing is that when I came here this time, I brought the wedding dress that I had previously asked someone to make.

Try it when you get back later. If it's too big, I'll have Shen Yejun help you modify it.
