Chapter 101 Chapter 101

Life in the countryside was simple and happy, but unfortunately they had limited time, so they returned to town after three days. Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue both had many friends who needed to be seen.

A lot had changed in one year.

Liu Shaoxuan had stopped studying and followed his father to manage the family business. The family arranged for a girl of equal status to get married on a chosen date.

Li Jing returned to Xiaohe Village and became the village teacher.

As for Zhao Yucheng, he worked as a county lieutenant in the county government, and settled in Cheng County with Fu Zhiyan. The county magistrate was still Ji Fulai. Although

Ji Fulai was not clear-headed about family affairs, he was an upright leader who handled official business impartially. Zhao Yucheng was smooth in his dealings, smart and capable, and he was doing very well in the county government.

During the Spring Festival, everyone was in Shifang Town, so it was not difficult to gather together.

When they sat down, the four of them were still a little dazed and didn't know how to start, especially Li Jing and Liu Shaoxuan. Yuan Ming and Zhao Yucheng were in the capital and the county government respectively, and they had long been out of touch with them.

Zhao Yucheng looked at Li Shaoxuan and asked with a smile: "I smell a fragrance on you. Did you just come back from the Peony Fairy's bedroom?"

The Peony Fairy was a famous dancer in Shifang Town. When Liu Shaoxuan was studying, he was strictly controlled by his family. When he was rebellious, he always clamored to go to the Peony Fairy's bedroom to steal fragrance.

But even though he said that, he had been in the academy for five years, and he had never been there once.

As soon as he said that, the familiar feeling suddenly returned.

Liu Shaoxuan squinted his eyes and scolded him: "Now that you have become a county lieutenant, you can no longer say good things, but only bad things."

Li Jing and Liu Shaoxuan occasionally met, and said: "Brother Liu is very fond of Miss Song, and he has long forgotten about the peony fairy and the lotus fairy."

Yuan Ming became interested and asked: "Brother Li, tell me more."

In fact, this matter was a oolong from the beginning.

Liu Shaoxuan often followed his father to the homes of business partners and met many people. Once when he attended a wedding banquet of a brother from another generation, he met the bride's friend by chance and fell in love at first sight.

But he didn't even know the other person's name, so he could only try to get close to the senior brother in an indirect way. Who knew that the other person was a dull person, and he could never see his real intention.

Later, his family arranged a blind date for him. Liu Shaoxuan was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't disobey his father's order, so he thought about meeting her and making things clear in person rather than delaying her.

But who knew that the person on this blind date was the one who haunted him! After

Li Jing finished speaking, he smacked his lips and said, "Brother Liu's experience this time is just like the story in the novel, which makes others envious."

Liu Shaoxuan agreed and nodded with a hot face.

After talking about Liu Shaoxuan, they talked about Li Jing again.

The smile on Li Jing's face faded a little: "You all left the school, and I knew it would be difficult for me to pass the imperial examination in a short time, so I gave up the idea of ​​continuing my studies. Fortunately, I have the title of scholar, and I went back to my hometown to be a teacher, which is not too bad."

Everyone nodded, and Zhao Yucheng asked: "Brother Li is not young anymore, I wonder if you have any plans to get married?"

Li Jing nodded: "My mother asked someone to look at a matchmaker, and it's decided. I like the daughter of the village doctor very much, and we will get married after the autumn harvest this year."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Jing smiled.

"What are you doing? Do you think I'm so pitiful?"

Liu Shaoxuan said, "If you need me for anything in the future, just ask."

Li Jing chuckled, "That's good, but don't think too much. I'm not that pitiful. Now that I'm a teacher, the tuition I receive is not a problem to support my family, and I'm respected. As for my marriage, although my love is not as deep as yours, we are well matched and we like each other. Who says that a plain and stable life is not a good thing?"

Yuan Ming said, "Brother Li is right, I am superficial."

Several people laughed again and recalled the funny and embarrassing things that happened in the school in the past.

At the same time, Ji Qingyue also invited his sisters. Women are different from men, especially after getting married, they will not have much freedom, so there are fewer people coming this time than before.

Everyone has changed from young girls to wives and husbands, and there is a little more sadness between their brows.

Ji Qingyue felt a little uncomfortable, but the world is like this, and he can't change it, so he tried to suppress the negative emotions.

He took out small boxes and distributed them to the people present. Inside were the perfumes he made himself.

In the capital, such a small jar can now be bought for two silver coins, but Ji Qingyue didn't care.

Everyone was very happy to receive the gifts, and they praised Ji Qingyue.

The atmosphere became much more lively, and the sense of strangeness was dispelled a lot.

Liu Ruyan was the most senior among them, and he felt that he had taken on the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere. However, the topic that they liked to discuss the most was Brother Jin.

Liu Ruyan sighed, "Since the last book was finished, Brother Jin has not written a new work for half a year. We all guessed that he had started a family and might not be in Shifang Town anymore. I just don't know if he will continue to write in the future."

The protagonist of Brother Jin's last book was still a boy named Han Yu, but it was different from the tragic story style in the past. Although Brother Yu was born in a peasant family, he had a harmonious family. When he grew up, he married a local scholar. Everything went incredibly smoothly.

Therefore, most readers guessed that he might have gotten married. No matter how poor he was, he had someone he loved. They were really happy for him, but also a little disappointed.

"I will write." Ji Qingyue said.

Hearing his extremely firm answer, everyone was a little surprised.

Ji Qingyue did not beat around the bush, smiled mysteriously, and said: "I received a reply from Brother Jin a few years ago. He did marry a husband and had a lovely child. He said that his personal life is busy, but he does not want to disappoint the readers, and will continue to write in his spare time."

"Great!" Brother Yun cheered.

Liu Xinyun is a young man from the Silk Village in the town. He fell into Brother Jin's trap this year. After finding the organization, he found that most of the people were older than him and had families and had no time to take care of this. If Brother Jin no longer publishes books, he will definitely be the saddest one.

Liu Ruyan said, "Brother Yue is so lucky. A year ago, you were the only one who received Brother Jin's letter."

Hearing this, Ji Qingyue looked up proudly.

"That's because I insisted on writing to him month after month. He read a lot of letters, so he must be familiar with my mother's name."

"Writing letters every month?" Someone was surprised: "Your husband is really generous and open-minded. If my family knew that I wrote letters to other men every month, she would be furious."

Ji Qingyue thought for a while and said: "My husband was not very happy at first, but after we talked frankly, he didn't care anymore." "

You have both sons and daughters, your husband is motivated, tolerant and open-minded, Brother Yue, you are really enviable."

Ji Qingyue smiled slightly: "Everyone has his own blessings, and the most important thing is to cherish the present."

Liu Ruyan said: "Brother Yue is right!"

Once the conversation started, the distance between everyone was immediately reduced. When they were chatting, they wanted Ji Qingyue to go home and take out Brother Jin's reply letter to show them.

Although they read Brother Jin's books all day long, they were all printed uniformly by bookstores, and they had never seen his handwriting.

It just so happened that the letter that Brother Jin wrote to Ji Qingyue for the first time was kept at his home in Shifang Town. Ji Qingyue also wanted to satisfy them, so she agreed.

After dinner, the group went to Ji Qingyue's home together.

Everyone knew that Yuan Ming had become rich and was an official in the capital, so they wanted to take this opportunity to see him up close.

"It's a pity that my husband is not at home, otherwise I would be surrounded by you like a monkey." Ji Qingyue said with a smile.

Liu Ruyan said, "We dare not, that's the number one scholar! Just take a look from a distance."

Others echoed.

Ji Qingyue smiled and didn't take it to heart.

At this time, Cao and the two children were at home. Seeing that it was a group of girls and boys who came, they didn't hide in the house.

Snowball and Olaf were fair and pink with chubby faces, which were really adorable. Regardless of whether they were married or had children, the maternal love of the group of people was immediately aroused, and they competed to hold them.

Cao was not annoyed, and smiled as she greeted them.

Ji Qingyue went to the study.

This study was shared by him and Yuan Ming, but he had few things and only occupied a small corner.

Finding the box where letters and documents were stored, Ji Qingyue opened it, found a brocade box with familiarity, and took out the letter.

But before closing the box, a larger brocade box caught his attention.
