"Madam, Miss Lu just sent someone to look for you."
Xiao Lingyu put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. "Let's go, Mo Shu, follow me."
Lu Yuan took a half-hour nap in the morning. There would be some movement in the mine tonight, so she didn't dare to sleep even if she wanted to.
"Ayu, accompany me to the yard to bask in the sun."
"Okay!" Si Chuyu helped Lu Yuan out of the room and came to the swing chair in the yard.
The messenger brought a thick cushion and put it on the bed before letting Lu Yuan sit down.
The autumn weather was clear and refreshing, and Lu Yuan felt much more energetic sitting in the yard than in the house.
"Ayu, I feel heavier this time. It feels a little different than six years ago."
Si Chuyu: "You just love to sleep more than six years ago."
Lu Yuan shook his head, "I feel like the little life in my belly will grow very fast."
Si Chuyu touched Lu Yuan's flat belly and said, "You are just impatient. It will take more than three months for your belly to grow bigger."
Lu Yuan said: "That's not what I meant. I just feel that the little life in my belly is very well-behaved, loves to sleep, and is very..." Lu Yuan couldn't put it into words or describe it.
Si Chuyu smiled and said, "Children who love to sleep are smart. They will be as smart as our brother Jie."
Lu Yuan glanced at Si Chuyu sideways and asked, "If it was a girl, would you like her?"
"She's my child. As a father, how could I not like her? She will definitely be as cute and well-behaved as Xiao Xi'er."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything, but touched her belly to sense the presence of the little life.
If possible, she wants to have both sons and daughters.
"Ayuan, I'm here."
Si Chuyu quickly stood up and gave her seat to Xiao Lingyu, "Mrs. Su, please take a seat."
As soon as Xiao Lingyu sat down, he took Lu Yuan's pulse. This time he felt the pulse very quickly. The little guy was growing quite fast.
"Ayuan, your pulse is very stable. From now on, you can eat when you want and sleep when you want. Don't worry about other things. Just focus on taking care of the baby."
Lu Yuan said, "I still have to pay attention, otherwise I will feel uneasy. Tomorrow is the provincial examination, and there should be some movement in the mine tonight."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have already arranged everything. You stay home and wait for good news. I promise that you can rest assured and take care of your baby in the Si Mansion in three months."
"Miss." Nanxiang came to report, "Nuanyu is here."
"Let her in."
After a moment, Nuanyu came forward and said, "Tomorrow, the Second Miss will go to Shili Langyao with the Patriarch to see the scenery and will stay for a few days."
"When did this happen? How come I don't know?"
Nuan Yu said, "Today, the Second Miss went to pay her respects to the head of the family. Young Master Gan and Young Master Kun were also in the room. The head of the family told the Second Miss that he was going to Shili Langyao, and the Second Miss wanted to go with him. He sent this servant to ask the eldest Miss if she wanted to go with him tomorrow."
Si Chuyu said, "Go back and tell your second daughter that Ayuan is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to travel far, so she won't be going with you."
"Wait." Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Lingyu. "Xiao Yu, the scenery over at Shili Langyao is nice. There's also a hot spring villa where we can stay. Do you want to take the children there tomorrow?"
Xiao Lingyu asked, "Didn't you say last time that the scenery of Shili Langyao would be the most beautiful in a few days?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Last time I said that because I wanted you to stay a few more days. Now that I've got what you want, I'll tell you the truth. It's very beautiful over there right now. Do you want to take the children there tomorrow?"
Xiao Lingyu hesitated for a moment, "I won't go tomorrow. Xingyi and An Ge'er just left. If we want to go, the whole family should go together, no one can be left behind. You can go there, your pulse is very stable now."
Lu Yuan said, "I'll sleep a few more days and then Ayu and I will go with you to Shili Langyao. By the way, Nuanyu, do you want to go with your aunt and uncle tomorrow?"
"Yes! The second and fourth masters will also go with us."
Lu Yuan thought that he should let the two of them accompany his grandfather on a trip, as there would be no such opportunity in the future.
"Well, go back."
Lu Yuan looked at Si Chuyu and said, "Send more people to protect them tomorrow."
"Okay, let me take care of this."
"Mom, shall we go play in Shili Langyao with Grandpa and the others tomorrow?"
When Su Ningjie saw Xiao Lingyu coming back, he hurried to greet him.
"Mother has something to do tomorrow, so she won't be going. We'll wait for your father and eldest brother to come back, and then we'll go together as a family. If you really want to go and see it, you can come with us tomorrow."
Su Ningjie looked back at Su Ningwen and Xiao Xier, "Do you want to go to Shili Langyao to play tomorrow?"
Su Ningwen shook his head and said, "If my mother goes, I will go too."
Xiao Xier nodded in agreement: "Wherever mother goes, I will go."
After the brother and sister finished speaking, they lowered their eyes and continued practicing calligraphy.
Xiao Lingyu was very pleased to see this, and the children loved reading more and more.
"Brother Jie, respect your inner desire. If you want to go, just go ahead. I'll find time to make up for the lessons you missed tomorrow."
"Mom, if you guys aren't going, it would be boring for me to go. I'd better wait for Dad and Big Brother to come back before going."
Xiao Lingyu gently touched his little head and said, "Don't push yourself."
"No, I never force myself." Su Jie returned to his desk and began to review his book seriously.
"Children, wait a minute. Mother will make you some milk tea."
The hour of Xu.
Xiao Lingyu sat upright in the front hall, flipping through the Analects annotated by Meng Zihe.
Su Yun and Su Ying stood guarding the door with serious expressions.
Soon, a man dressed in black emerged from the darkness.
Su Yun and Su Ying saw who was coming and respectfully invited him in.
"Master Qi, you are here. Please take a seat. This is the calming tea I prepared. Please try it."
Qi Lianli sat down, picked up the teacup and sniffed it, "The calming tea you prepared is still more fragrant and rich. I guess I won't need to drink calming tea when I go back today."
"Has it been difficult to fall asleep these days?"
"My Lord, the effect is very obvious. I have slept well these past few days and am more comfortable handling official business."
Qi Lianli changed the subject and got back to the point. "The princess asked me to come tonight. What's the big deal?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Tomorrow is the provincial examination. As the chief examiner, I imagine you will be very busy before the results are announced."
"It's really busy. Not only do I have to be the chief examiner for nine consecutive days, but I also have to mark 2,000 papers and select 300 outstanding candidates. Every step must be taken very carefully, and I only have a few days of leisure time after the results are announced."
"Master Qi, I'm afraid you'll be even busier after the results are announced this time."
"Oh?" Qi Lianli frowned, "What do you mean?"
"This is why I asked you to come here tonight. This matter concerns the court and the country. Sir Qi, can I trust you?"
Qi Lianli recalled that the last time they met, Xiao Lingyu had mentioned to him the issue of cheating in the imperial examination.
It is not difficult to guess that what happened tonight is related to the provincial examination.
"Princess, the provincial examination is approaching. You summoned me tonight because you trust me. I am worthy of your trust. I have arranged a lot of manpower for this provincial examination, and there will definitely be no cheating in the imperial examination."
"Master Qi, there will definitely be cheating in the imperial examination this year..."
