After the New Year, the temperature is getting higher and higher.
Mu Yi'an returned to the estate and began conducting experiments to see if he could increase crop yields.
There were also some seeds that Jiang Shuyun and his family had brought back through the post station, which Mu Yi'an was also experimenting with.
Some of the seeds were unfamiliar to her, while others were familiar.
When people get busy, the days go by quickly.
Just like seedlings in a field, once they break through the soil, they will continue to grow, bloom, and bear fruit.
In the blink of an eye, it's June.
Jiang Shuyun and the others have already sent a message back and are on their way back.
There will be an autumn imperial examination in August, and Shao Ming, Shao Ning, and He Chengwen will all be participating.
Mu Yi'an misses them too. It's been almost a year since she left. I don't know if the children have gotten fatter or taller.
Mu Yi'an returned to the city at the end of June. The experimental field was being kept in the care of someone, so she wasn't worried.
Back in the city, Sister Fang and Sister Li led a group of people to do a thorough cleaning of all the rooms.
The outer courtyard where the children live, in particular, has been empty for almost a year and needs to be tidied up.
The house is large with many rooms, so cleaning it can't be done in just one or two days.
Mu Yi'an gave the instructions, and with Sister Fang and the others keeping an eye on things, she didn't need to worry about it.
Shao Ming is seventeen years old, Shao Yun is fifteen, Chu Yue is thirteen, and the two younger ones are nine.
Before we knew it, the children had all grown up.
Mu Yi'an thought that if Shao Ming passed the imperial examination this autumn, he would then go to the capital.
Mu Yi'an was thinking to herself that she would go to the capital to look at houses there.
In early July, the group returned in a hurry.
Shao Rong was the first to get off the carriage, and without caring about anything else, rushed straight into the inner courtyard.
"Mother, Mother, your son is back. Have you missed your precious son?"
"Oh my, my precious son has grown taller and more handsome."
Mu Yi'an hugged Shao Rong, a child who was very good at expressing herself, and felt very satisfied.
"Mother, we're back."
"Honey, I'm home."
Jiang Shuyun was a step behind her children; she no longer had a place of her own beside her daughter-in-law.
Mu Yi'an hugged each of the children in turn, and finally embraced the man who was looking at her expectantly.
"My lord, welcome home."
Mu Yi'an felt the hands that were holding her were really strong, and her waist was sore from being squeezed.
"Wife, I will never be separated from you again. I really miss you."
Jiang Shuyun felt that he was not as independent as Mu Yi'an, especially after coming here, he actually lacked a sense of security.
"Okay, let's not separate anymore. The children are all grown up now, we can let go."
"Mom, I'm still a little baby, I haven't grown up yet."
Shao Rong panicked. How could his mother do this? He was so young, and she wanted to let him go.
"Alright, let Dad and Mom talk. Why do you have so many questions?"
Shao Ming pulled Shao Rong into the courtyard. The ride was bumpy, and he wanted to take a shower.
After listening to their elder brother's words, the children, along with Shao Ning and the others, went back to wash up.
Gu Zheng originally wanted to greet Aunt Jiang, but seeing the two of them reunited after so long, he backed down and couldn't bear to ruin this warm moment.
That's great. He wants to live the same life as Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang in the future.
The couple had several children, all born of the same mother, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate, and lived a life of mutual love and affection.
As Gu Zheng was thinking about these things, for some reason, Chu Yue's image appeared in his mind.
They hadn't had much contact before, only seeing each other once a day for meals. He really hadn't paid attention to when the little girl had grown up.
Chuyue's every smile and frown seemed to be imprinted in his mind, appearing in his mind from time to time along the way.
Fifteen-year-old Gu Zheng was very mature and understood what this meant. He didn't reject it; in fact, he was delighted.
Chuyue is different from the girls in the capital; she has a quiet side as well as a lively side.
She knows a bit about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she's not too technical. She doesn't learn various skills to become famous; she just wants to entertain herself.
Therefore, Chuyue's zither music was cheerful and natural.
Most importantly, Chuyue is in great health; she followed them up and down mountains and down rivers without ever complaining of being tired.
Unlike girls in Beijing, who get out of breath after just a few steps, as if they're about to pass away.
The more Gu Zheng thought about it, the happier he felt. He felt that Chu Yue and he were a match made in heaven.
Having figured this out, Gu Zheng told Gu Wen and Gu Wu to drive the carriage, as he needed to talk to his grandfather about something important.
Gu Wen and Gu Wu were puzzled as to why the Seventh Young Master, who had just rushed into the inner courtyard, was now running out again in a panic.
Although they didn't understand, Gu Wen and Gu Wu obediently turned the carriage around and headed out of the city.
Gu Zheng ran into his grandfather's study in one breath and plopped down on the couch by the window.
"What's the rush, child? You ran back without even washing up. Did you miss your grandfather?"
"Yes, I miss you so much."
Gu Zheng readily agreed, and after a moment, his excited emotions calmed down.
"Alright, go wash up first, you smell."
The headmaster was a little disgusted; Xiaoqi had gone bad.
Gu Zheng raised his arm and sniffed it; it seemed to have a smell.
No matter how urgent things are, you must take care of yourself first. You can't be too sloppy, or you'll look bad even to yourself.
Gu Zheng arrived quickly and left just as fast.
"Master, the Seventh Young Master's temperament is really just like yours when you were young."
Only Gu Zhong would dare to say such a thing.
"Xiao Qi, there must be something you want to say."
