The day before the provincial examination.
Si Mingming and Lu Ming walked in the morning light and dew and knocked on the corner door of the courtyard.
Su Xingyi handed the last batch of fragrant dew to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. This is the last batch this year."
"Master Su, we wish we could send them more often." Si Mingming said with a smile, "We made a lot of commission from the Xianglu this year, right, Brother Ming?"
"Yes, I made a lot of commission." Lu Ming said absentmindedly.
"Well, it's getting late, have a safe trip."
Leaving the corner gate, Si Mingming whispered, "Brother Ming, you're usually in high spirits when you come to get the fragrant dew, but you seem less interested today. Is there something wrong at home? If you need my help, just let me know."
Lu Ming went to the mine these days but didn't find any clues.
He was worried that Lu Zeyi would notice and take precautions. What should he do?
Once the truth comes out, can the Lu family really escape safely?
"Brother Ming?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Si Mingming called out again.
"Oh, I just didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little dazed. I'll just take a nap on the way."
Si Mingming looked at him suspiciously, "Did you really just not sleep well?"
"I haven't been sleeping well these past few days. I'll ask Madam Su to prescribe me a prescription to calm my nerves after I deliver the goods this time... It's getting late, let's go deliver the goods quickly. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can come back."
After breakfast, Suningan loaded the packed luggage onto the carriage.
Xiao Lingyu pulled Su Xingyi into the study.
A large bottle of spiritual spring water with a very high mineral content was handed to Su Xingyi.
These past few days, while the five people from the Su family were asleep, Xiao Lingyu highly purified the minerals from the spiritual spring water from the space, and added a few drops of Xiao Xier's sweat into it.
"This is Xiao Xi'er's sweat."
Su Xingyi opened it and sniffed it, "What are you doing?"
"Isn't Xiao Xi'er's sweat fragrant? What do you think? If we use it to water rare ingredients, and the peppers and tomatoes grow, will they taste sweet?"
"?" Su Xingyi looked at her in disbelief and reached out to touch her head. What was Xiaoyu thinking about?
"Are you sure you want to use this bottle of fragrant sweat to water rare ingredients?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Back when I was making flower tea, I casually experimented and created the scented water... It's true that we need to improve rare ingredients. The idea popped into my head yesterday when I was making the scented water. Perhaps the peppers and tomatoes that grow from it will be easier to successfully grow in Beiyi."
The simple-minded Su Xingyi frowned hesitantly and said, "Then let's give it a try."
"It's not easy for Xi'er to sweat. This big bottle of sweat is saved from making Xihanxiang. Take it home and pour it into the small water tank. Wait half a lamp before watering it."
Su Xingyi: "Okay, I understand. I will arrange things at home as soon as possible. If you want to go out in the next few days, you must bring Su Yun and Su Ying with you. I have also made new masks, so you must wear them when you go out."
"Yes, I know. Hurry up and put this bottle of fragrant sweat away. This matter is between you and me now. Don't let the children know for the time being."
Su Xingyi nodded, screwed the bottle cap back on and placed it in the brocade box. "Then... shall I go back to Xishui County now?"
The established matter was stated in a questioning tone, and Su Xingyi was reluctant to leave.
Five days apart feels like a long time.
Xiao Ling smiled and moved closer, hugging his waist. "Then wait a moment."
Su Xingyi put down the brocade box, hugged Xiao Lingyu tightly in his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her...
Half a cup later, Su Xingyi whispered in her ear, "Xiaoyu, I will miss you."
"Yeah, I'll miss you too. It's time to go out. An Ge'er is waiting."
Su Xingyi's hands around her back did not loosen but tightened a little.
Su Xingyi felt that if he let go, the person in his arms would disappear.
Xiao Lingyu listened to his heartbeat, sensing his fluctuating emotions, and felt a slight swelling in his chest.
"Okay, come back and hug me. I won't leave. I can't delay any longer. The children will come knocking on the door soon..."
Su Xingyi let go of Xiao Lingyu and said, "Wait for me to come back."
"Well, I'll wait for you. Come on, I'll take you to the dock."
Su Xingyi stopped him and said, "There are villains outside who are persecuting Wen Ge'er. We can't go to the dock because there are too many people and eyes. We can go on our own. There's no need to send us off."
Su Xingyi picked up the brocade box and strode out of the study. After a moment, he returned, reached out and grabbed the back of Xiao Lingyu's head, covered her lips, and kissed her deeply.
After more than thirty breaths, Xiao Lingyu covered his chest and stared blankly at the half-open door.
Xiao Lingyu came back to his senses when Xiao Xier, Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen came in holding books.
"Mother, Daddy and Big Brother have already taken the carriage to the dock. You are going to teach us to read and write."
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised that the children were so proactive in wanting to study. It was really like the sun rising from the west.
"Since you love studying so much, let's learn more today..."
Xiao Lingyu said this while looking at Su Ningjie and Xiao Xier's reaction.
I didn't see any trace of pain or aversion to studying on their faces.
An hour later, Xiao Lingyu assigned homework to the three children and returned to the bedroom with a letter.
"Third brother, how did my second brother and I perform?"
Su Ningwen: "Very good. Today, Mother taught us to read and write, and we are in a happier mood than usual. We must keep it up. Since Dad and Big Brother are not around, we must be good children who don't need to worry about us."
Su Ningjie pushed a book in front of Su Ningwen and said, "In order to make mother happy, my third brother will have to tutor me and my sister these days. What did mother mean by that sentence just now? I don't remember it. Can you tell me again?"
