Huang's father and mother expressed their longing for their son in the letter.
Especially County Magistrate Huang, he never thought that Huang Minbo could pass the imperial examination in one try.
His words were full of praise and emotion, encouraging him to keep working hard and not let down the excellent teachers at Changhe Academy.
Huang's mother is worried about Huang Minbo's lifelong affairs.
He said that since he passed the imperial examination, many people came to propose marriage to him and asked him if he had any plans in this regard.
In addition, because he was afraid that the child would have no money to spend, he stuffed a thick stack of banknotes into the envelope.
Huang Minbo counted it, one thousand taels, and his heart was pounding wildly.
It seems that their family has never had much wealth since they were kidnapped.
What illegal thing had his father done to come up with so many banknotes? It made him extremely upset.
If County Magistrate Huang knew that the little bastard thought this of him, he would definitely withhold 988 taels of silver.
Isn’t saving his face a saving grace?
If he wasn't worried that the little bastard would have a hard time living under someone else's roof, would he have bothered to fawn over his father-in-law and borrow money?
It was also Huang Minbo's hard work that earned him the status of a juren.
Magistrate Huang didn't have to lobby much, but his father-in-law took out money to support his grandson's studies and progress.
Of course, Huang Minbo only thought so. He knew how brave his father was and that he would never dare to embezzle or accept bribes.
He carefully put the banknotes in his arms, leaned against the wall of the car and yawned loudly.
This period has been incredibly tiring, with the three of us constantly overloading ourselves with knowledge. If it weren't for the good food, we'd have collapsed long ago.
Not long after, Huang Minbo and Ling Jiyi also fell asleep.
The servant driving the carriage slowed down and did not return to the Ling family until the moon was at its highest point in the sky.
They cleaned themselves up briefly, pretended to be in good spirits, and got off the bus with a smile on their faces, not wanting anyone to notice their distress.
The old lady was waiting for them to return home at Rongsiyuan. When she saw them, she immediately went up to them and asked about their well-being.
Ling Jiheng showed great patience and told the old lady about the academy.
Then we quickly finished dinner and went back to Qingfengyuan to rest.
While he was taking a bath, Chi Xingyue asked, "My grandmother and I were planning to call you to go see how the Zhuangzi was doing.
Now it seems better to forget it, you should have a good rest at home."
Ling Jiheng grabbed her hand from behind and rubbed it against his chest: "It's okay, I'll go with you.
"I've been locked up by Dean Wen for ten days, and I'm pretty tired. I want to go out and get some fresh air."
Chi Xingyue used the hand that was not caught to massage his neck: "That's fine, relax a little, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort."
As he said this, he stood up and called Erzhu to ask Doctor Cheng to come over.
The young man outside the door sighed and trotted away.
He came back a moment later with a spirited old man.
The old man glanced at Ling Jiheng and smiled meaningfully.
Chi Xingyue made way and let Doctor Cheng take Ling Jiheng's pulse.
Doctor Cheng glanced at her and placed his fingers on Ling Jiheng's wrist.
"Nothing serious, just nerves, lack of sleep, and a bit of fatigue.
A good night's sleep is better than anything else!"
Chi Xingyue nodded and thanked Doctor Chengguo.
Just as I was about to send him away, I heard the old man say, "Don't sleep together recently. Also, don't take a hot spring bath tomorrow."
Chi Xingyue didn't understand, but nodded obediently: "I understand, thank you, Doctor Cheng."
The little old man walked away, stroking his beard and humming an unknown tune.
Chi Xingyue watched him walk away before closing the door. She sat with Ling Jiheng for a while, then turned off the lights and entered the space.
I didn't do anything, just took a walk in the orchard to digest the food.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers and fruits, Ling Jiheng felt less tired.
After a walk, I returned to the dormitory, lay on the narrow bed, and let my mind wander.
However, with Doctor Cheng's reminder still ringing in his ears, Ling Jiheng asked Chi Xingyue, "Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Chi Xingyue shook his head: "No!"
Ling Jiheng hummed, buried his head in Chi Xingyue's neck, and took a deep breath.
I thought that Doctor Cheng was not the kind of person who would speak without a purpose. If there were no special circumstances, he would not have reminded Chi Xingyue not to take a hot spring bath.
But if you say there is anything, it shouldn't be.
After all, with such a large space and the magical spiritual spring water, how could anything go wrong with Chi Xingyue's body!
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it, close your eyes, and soon you'll fall asleep.
Chi Xingyue twisted her body and found herself stuck between Ling Jiheng and the wall, unable to move, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but sigh.
She thought that when she regained consciousness, she would replace this small bed with a big one, an extra-large one, or a particularly large one.
Before dawn the next day, the two came out of the space.
After being nourished by spiritual energy for a whole night, Ling Jiheng was in extremely good condition.
So much so that when Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo saw him yawning, they suspected that he had taken a magic pill.
The two men didn't dare to ask, but they were secretly complaining in their hearts, could it be that marrying a wife can also help to refresh the mind?
His second brother (classmate) is so energetic!
The old lady glanced at the stars in the sky and asked everyone, "Are you all ready?"
The women of the Ling family nodded in unison: "We're ready and can set off at any time!"
The old lady waved her hand and everyone got on the ox cart.
In addition to Ling Yi and a few other housekeepers, servants including Baozhu, Xiaohe, Shunzi, and sisters Zhu Ruoyun and Zhu Ruoyan, all went out.
It can be said that it is a huge group of people.
We set off without even having breakfast. However, there were cakes and pastries in the oxcart, so if you were hungry, you could take them out and help yourself.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue were alone in an ox cart.
She was excited at first, but gradually, Chi Xingyue became sleepy.
I snuggled in Ling Jiheng's arms and took a nap. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
And they were not far from Changning Village.
Chi Xingyue stretched, took out two bowls of millet porridge from the space, and shared them with Ling Jiheng.
I ate a few more vegetarian buns before I felt full.
Then they talked about the academy in the car. Ling Jiheng could always find fun in the boring life.
This made Chi Xingyue laugh out loud.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the group arrived at Changning Village.
As soon as I entered the village, I noticed the difference here.
The first thing that comes into view is a large area of farmland planted with winter vegetables such as cabbage and radish.
There is also a part that is empty, and from the vines scattered on the ground, it can be seen that sweet potatoes were planted here in the past.
In the distance are walls that divide the fields into several parts.
Inside the courtyard wall are towering buildings, magnificent and impressive, that seem out of place in the village.
The villagers were busy at first, but when they saw the convoy, they became alert.
Some were observing the situation here, some were running away to call the clan leader, and some were going to notify the village head.
It’s no wonder they are cautious. There have been too many high-ranking officials coming to the village in the past two years, and if they are not careful, they might offend someone.
They really didn't dare to deal with it perfunctorily.
Ling Jiheng lifted the curtain and got out of the car to greet his fellow villagers.
The old man at the edge of the field stared at him for a long time and blurted out, "Why does this kid look so familiar?"
