It's winter now, and every household stays indoors and rarely goes out.
It was really cold today! As soon as I went outside, I was frozen all over.
During the Chinese New Year, the three families sat together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The three men did not take much rest. While the villagers were staying at home during the New Year, they quickly got into the tunnel and started digging.
"Will there really be a war in Feimo? Although we are close to Yanyang Kingdom, Yanyang Kingdom has always lived in harmony with Zhongjin Kingdom. Logically speaking, they shouldn't take the initiative to attack us, right?"
Yu Feimo lied without blushing or beating his heart.
"I also heard this from others. No matter what, it's always good to plan ahead."
So the three of them dug even harder.
The three sisters also went in to help move the soil.
After the New Year, they had dug a cave at the bottom of the mountain that was large enough to accommodate a hundred people.
There are two exits in the cave. One exit is in the Yu family's courtyard, and the other exit leads directly to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
After the spring, everyone is busy farming.
The men went to loosen the soil in the fields, and the women went to prepare the seeds to be planted.
The three families helped each other. Anyway, they had to hide their food in the cave and eat it together.
The Yu family has a lot of land. Although Wang Daniu and Wang Dahai have fewer fields, they work hard and are both good at farming.
Yu Feimo would sometimes go out to gather information, and sure enough, he heard some suspicious news from a businessman.
"Madam, your dream is likely to come true. I heard that the Yanyang Kingdom is recruiting soldiers and preparing food supplies. I'm afraid they will really attack Zhongjin."
Every time a war breaks out, the people suffer the most.
The couple worked even harder to store supplies. Apart from working in the fields, they spent the rest of their time collecting herbs and practicing martial arts in the mountains.
Another thing was to go to other places to purchase supplies, and in order to facilitate travel, he bought a carriage.
That day, Yu Feimo went to Rongzhou Prefecture alone to sell herbal medicine. As soon as he came out of the clinic, he ran into his former classmate Zhao Tianhui.
"Brother Yu, it's really you! You've changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."
Yu Feimo smiled at him friendly.
"It turns out to be Brother Zhao."
There was also a handsome young man standing next to Zhao Tianhui.
"This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I failed the imperial examination, and luckily I met His Royal Highness. Otherwise, I would probably be living a life of poverty and hardship as an ordinary citizen."
Yu Feimo bowed respectfully.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The three of them went to the teahouse together. The third prince was very humble and looked as gentle as jade.
He spoke with a troubled look about the current situation of the State of Zhongjin.
"To be honest, the court is facing internal and external troubles right now."
"Struggles for the throne have been like this since ancient times, with ministers all taking sides. Even though I'm a prince, I have no say. I've heard reliable news that the Yanyang Kingdom, which has always been friendly with our country, recently got a new ruler. I heard that this new ruler wants to expand his territory, and Zhongjin is certainly his best target..."
He also tried his best to bring Yu Feimo to his side and use him.
"Master Yu, you have such talent. Why would you be willing to work for me?"
"I'm grateful for not abandoning you, Your Highness. However, I have a wife, children, and elderly parents at home, and I really can't leave you."
The third prince smiled generously, expressing his understanding and respect for his choice.
As soon as Yu Feimo got home, he told Meng Fuge about this.
"Couple, I met a former classmate and friend today. He is now an aide to the Third Prince. The Third Prince wanted to invite me to work with him, but I didn't agree."
You can see that he is a little moved.
"Do you want to go, my husband?"
"I didn't want to go, but after listening to the Third Prince's words today and reading the sages' books for so many years, I've always wanted to be a good official serving the country and the people. Now the opportunity is before me."
"Madam, only with a country can you have a family. I heard from the Third Prince that the Emperor has shown mercy and the imperial examination will be held again this year. I don't have to wait another three years. I want to take the imperial examination again."
He really thought about not taking the imperial examinations again and never entering the court in his life.
But he really wants to do his part to protect his country.
"Husband, do what you want to do. I support you."
Princess Zhaoping is dead, and his inevitable death has long been changed. He should be able to do what he likes now.
Yu Feimo picked up his books again. There were less than three months left before the imperial examination, so there was still time to review.
Of course, he was not just a bookworm. He also did all the farm work he was supposed to do.
In the Jingshui Tower in Changshan Town, the Third Prince and Zhao Tianhui were sitting in a private room on the second floor.
"My younger sister died here a year ago, and the murderer has yet to be found. My younger sister is my father's most beloved daughter. This time, I came here not only to oversee the imperial examination system, but also to see if the murderer can be found."
Zhao Tianhui flattered for a long time but got no response, so he followed the Third Prince's gaze.
I saw a beautiful little woman walking down the street.
"If Your Highness likes it, I will go down and invite them up."
The third prince stroked his chin.
"That's not good. It looks like she's already married."
Of course Zhao Tianhui knew that he was just talking and didn't take it seriously.
He quickly went downstairs and stopped Meng Fuge.
"Would you two ladies be so kind as to come upstairs for a cup of tea?"
You're sick. You must have met a thug who picks on actors.
Meng Furong was a little scared, but he stood up and protected his sister behind him.
"Don't be afraid, girl. I'm not a bad person...!"
You are not a bad person, why are you stopping people in the street?
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. We won't drink the tea."
He took Meng Furong and left.
"Second sister, let's go."
The third prince looked at their departing backs, a smile forming on his lips.
"Your Highness, I failed to invite the person up."
"Nothing."
Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities. Women from small places like these, as long as you give them some benefits, they will come to you and beg you to love them.
"Go and find out where they are from and who is in their family."
Zhao Tianhui immediately ran to inquire happily.
Of course, the Meng Fuge sisters had no idea that someone was thinking about them.
I didn't take it to heart after I got home.
Yu Feimo didn't expect to see the third prince again so soon.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, Brother Zhao, why are you here in Changshan Town?"
He happily invited them to dinner at the restaurant.
At the dinner table, the third prince asked about his family situation intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Feimo was completely oblivious to the situation, drinking cup after cup of water until he soon became drunk.
When he woke up again, he was naked and there was a girl lying beside him.
The girl had a pretty face and was crying softly.
"Oh, oh... Young Master forced me into the house last night, and then... and then... If you don't take responsibility for me, I will die."
Yu Feimo had a splitting headache, but he had to calm himself down.
Finally, they arranged the people in a small courtyard.
When he got home, he didn't know what to say, and felt extremely guilty when facing his wife.
