“There are about a dozen tables, right?”
"Ah? Then I'll come over after I wake up. No, I'm so sleepy."
Li Yuying pinched her shoulders and helped her relax.
"Just go back to sleep, I'll watch over here."
Lin Wanwan returned home in a daze and fell asleep immediately, not caring about the sensation she had caused.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Hui entertained his ministers to calm their nerves, so the banquet was held in a very grand manner.
There was singing and dancing in the palace, and it was extremely lively. Everyone was enjoying the dance, drinking and chatting, and eating delicious food. Everyone from top to bottom was having a great time.
Among them, the most outstanding are the moon cakes and snacks.
Some people have bought food from Baiweiju, so they have some understanding of the taste of the mooncakes.
But others who have not eaten it raved about the mooncakes and kept praising the deliciousness of those made by Yushufang.
But some people found that Baiweiju could actually deliver food to the palace! What does this mean? It means that the emperor must have eaten it! It seems that the first restaurant in the capital is going to change its owner!
Shen Li was eating mooncakes quietly. Although the banquet was very lively, his thoughts had already drifted outside.
The two shops in the capital were gradually getting on track and people were trained, so she took her sister-in-law Yuying back to Yunzhou.
There was no other way. The teahouse she and Fu Junyi opened was already under renovation, so the tea had to be transported there quickly. Most of it was stored in her space, and the black tea had not been made yet! She would return to the capital after the second batch of grain was harvested this year.
After a bumpy ride, they finally returned to Linjia Village and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially sister-in-law Yuying, she had never been away from home for such a long time, and she missed her son so much that she kept nagging all the way, and her ears were almost callused.
Well, she missed Lin Bai a lot too. She didn’t know if the little guy had eaten well. Without anyone watching him, he would definitely start playing crazy again.
As soon as she got home, everyone was happy and couldn't help asking her all kinds of questions.
Lin Wanwan smiled and told them that she would take them all for a walk when she had time. The big yard she bought could accommodate everyone!
This made everyone very happy.
She didn't want to let them tell Lin Bai that she was back yet, as she just wanted to see if he was self-aware and whether he studied hard.
As soon as Lin Bai got home, he ran to his room, took out a book from his small schoolbag and started reading.
Lin Wanwan was extremely pleased. This child has really grown up and is becoming more sensible. He works so hard, and surely he will become the top scholar in the future?
She tiptoed in, wanting to give Lin Bai a surprise.
"Lin Bai!"
“Clatter…”
Lin Bai was so frightened by her that the book in his hand flew away and landed at her feet...
Lin Wanwan bent down to pick up the book and prepared to return it to him...
"Hmm? The Terror in the Ancient House..."
Then, miserable screams and pleas for mercy were heard from the small building...
Everyone in the family was laughing at Lin Bai, teasing him constantly and asking him if his butt hurt. Lin Bai was so embarrassed that he covered his face and ran away, not daring to answer.
Lin Wanwan was furious and dug out more than a dozen sketchbooks from Lin Bai's room! She beat him up so hard that his butt was swollen. She wanted him to learn a lesson!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Hui, grateful for the good weather and full granaries, opened a special imperial examination so that students would not have to wait for three years.
Lin Wanwan pouted. It was just that a group of people had just been recruited. The court was short of people! It sounded really nice, just to fool those who didn't know.
Shen Mo and Yusheng were also able to take part in the provincial examination. Shen Mo ranked among the top in all assessments in the academy. Although Lin Yusheng's results were not as good as Shen Mo's, they were also very good.
Because she had sent Chen Li away once before, she had some experience. This time, she was also responsible for preparing things for them, hoping that more talents could emerge in the village.
Lin Wanwan took them to Yongcheng's courtyard in advance, found two quiet rooms, arranged for them to stay there, and allowed them to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
"Tell me if you need anything. Just focus on the exam. You don't have to worry about anything else!"
"Yes, we will."
In the evening, she personally cooked a few dishes and boiled some porridge, which were easier to digest and less likely to cause bloating, and all the places that needed attention were avoided!
Lin Yusheng looked at the exquisite dishes and couldn't help but praise: "This must be made by you, aunt-in-law, right? It smells so good!"
Lin Wanwan said proudly: "That's right! You have good taste! All the vegetables and meat are the freshest, I guarantee you won't get sick!"
The two of them paused, looking at each other awkwardly.
Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered that some of their students failed the provincial examination because of gastrointestinal discomfort, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud with shaking shoulders.
"Hehe~ Why did you feel stomach upset that time? Can you tell me about it?"
Lin Yusheng scratched his head awkwardly, pointed at Shen Mo and said: "It's all Shen Mo's fault! Well, actually we can't blame Shen Mo. The day before the provincial exam, Shen Mo took us to catch a rabbit in the back mountain, and Shitou discussed roasting the rabbit. The rabbit was small and there wasn't much meat. Shen Mo was reluctant to eat two rabbit legs and took them back. The next morning, we had to go to the county to take the exam early. We didn't eat and were so hungry that our stomachs growled. He took out the two rabbit legs and shared them with me. Who knew that halfway through the exam, my stomach hurt so badly that I almost choked. We were both taken to see a doctor! Later, I asked Shitou and Huzi, and found out that they also had stomach problems! The meat that Huzi roasted was not cooked at all! Alas!"
"Hahaha! You really are... Can't you see that the rabbit meat is not cooked?"
"It was pitch dark, how could anyone see clearly? I will never dare to eat anything they grill again!"
