My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

After school, Fu Shiyan was packing his things when someone patted his shoulder. Dong Qing said with a happy face, "I thought I was seeing things on the day of the college entrance examination. It turned out to be you. What? Why did you become a student instead of a shopkeeper?"

Fu Shiyan packed up his writing brush and ink, and replied calmly with a smile on his face, "Just like you, I came."

Dong Qing was surprised and looked at him again and again, "Are you going to the military camp too? You are so thin... Can you do it?"

Then he said, "In the spring, the captain of the barracks came to the courtyard to recruit sergeants. I signed up and was beaten by my mother for it. I have admired heroes since I was a child. Wouldn't it be more fun to go to the barracks than to talk nonsense here every day?"

Fu Shiyan put away the manuscript and said to him calmly, "You know that even if you can read, you have to start as a soldier in the military camp. But with your intelligence, it's easy to climb to the position of Du Bo."

Dong Qing's eyes lit up instantly, "The one who understands me is Brother Fu."

When Fu Shiyan was about to leave, he whispered a few words to Dong Qing, who sometimes frowned and sometimes nodded... and then left in a hurry after listening.

Fu Shiyan walked out of the academy, got on the carriage and slowly walked towards Zui Jiangyue. He lifted the curtain and stared at the yellow leaves on both sides of the road, thinking that some things had to be accelerated...

In the blink of an eye, it was September. Huaying stood by the window after getting up. Qinghe took a light white cloak and put it on her. "Miss, it's late autumn now. You can't wear such thin clothes in the morning."

Huaying looked at the few leaves left on the flower tree on the street, and remembered that she would have to leave for Beijing today, and felt a little sad.

Although she has a desire for freedom, she is not physically free. Her elder brother is getting married at the end of the month. As the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, it is already a special favor from her parents for her to go out and play. If she doesn't go back, they will probably urge her to go back.

She sighed secretly, it seemed that life was not easy for a young lady in ancient times. Fortunately, Wu State had just been established for two years, and Lord Shen was open-minded and allowed her to go out and do business. Otherwise, she would have gotten sick from embroidering and playing the piano at home every day.

After spending this period of time together, her relationship with Fu Shiyan has gradually warmed up. After returning to Beijing, she will do everything she can for him to help him return to Beijing and enter the court as soon as possible.

Huaying pulled her cloak and said to Qinghe, "Pack your things and let's set off." Qinghe obeyed the order and left.

At this time, Dongxue came over with a plate of food and said with a chuckle, "Sister Huaying, drink some of the porridge that I just made while it's hot. I'll prepare some food for you on the road, as well as some small things in town to entertain you on the road."

He put the plate on the table and whispered, "I'm going back to Beijing this time. I don't know when I'll see Sister Huaying again."

Huaying came over with a smile and comforted him, "It's okay. If you miss me in the future, just write me back. I will come back to collect the money. How can we not meet?"

Hearing her words, Dongxue burst into laughter, thinking that Sister Huaying was still the same Sister Huaying who loved money before.

Handing the spoon to Huaying, Dongxue sat opposite her, looking at her with her chin in her hand. She didn't leave until Huaying finished eating.

Qing He packed up her things and came over to Fu Li and said, "Miss, we should go now."

Huaying stood up and walked out of the room, slowly going downstairs. The hall was still bustling with people and business was still going on...

When they arrived at the door, Yuexing Yuelang was already waiting there. Huaying got into the carriage with the help of Qinghe. She lifted the curtain and saw Dongxue. Uncle Zhang and Manager Liu were looking at her at the door.

Uncle Zhang said, "Master Hua is leaving, why didn't you tell me? I asked Anian to go to the academy to find the young master." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Huaying chuckled and called out to Zhang Bo, "I've left a letter for him. Don't let A-Nian make another wasted trip."

Uncle Zhang then stopped. Ever since he knew Huaying was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, he treated her with even more respect. He prayed every day asking the master to bless the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and wait for his own young master, and never let anyone else marry her.

Huaying smiled softly and waved goodbye to everyone at the door, then gently lowered the curtain and slowly left with the sound of rolling wheels.

After another three days and two nights of driving, the carriage finally arrived in the capital and stopped steadily in front of the Shen Mansion.

The housekeeper who received the letter had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the car stop, he hurried over and respectfully welcomed the young lady home.

Huaying got off the carriage lightly and walked towards Chunhuayuan with brisk steps to greet her mother.

The mother looked at her daughter whom she had not seen for many days, her eyes full of joy, and quickly took Huaying's hand, "Go and wash up quickly, your eldest brother will bring your sister-in-law home tonight to introduce herself to the family, and he should be on his way now."

After hearing her mother's words, Huaying also felt happy for her elder brother. After saying goodbye to her mother, she turned around and went back to Molan Pavilion.

As night fell and the hour of Xu arrived, the lights in front of the Shen Mansion were on and a luxurious carriage slowly stopped.

Shen Nanting was the first to get off the carriage. He stood tall and straight, and his every move showed his elegance. Then, he reached out and gently lifted the curtain, carefully helping Bai Wei get off the carriage.

At this moment, the people around were looking at the carriage with anticipation, waiting for the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

Finally, a woman in green appeared in front of everyone. She was graceful, light, and looked like a fairy. She was shy and shy. She took lotus steps lightly, put her hand on Shen Nanting's hand, and walked down the carriage gracefully.

Afterwards, Bai Wei bowed to Lord Shen and Madam Shen who were waiting for her. Madam Shen hurried forward to help her up, her eyes full of joy...

After the family happily finished their dinner, they moved to the back garden to admire the moon.

Seeing her sister-in-law so gentle and demure, Huaying was very pleased. When Qinghe brought fruits and cakes, she picked up a piece of jade cake and handed it to Baiwei, saying softly, "Sister-in-law, try this. This is what my brother specially asked the kitchen to buy for you."

Bai Wei took the cake and thanked her softly, then leaned closer to Huaying and whispered, "It just so happens that I just didn't have enough." After saying that, she couldn't help but smile shyly.

Seeing this, Huaying felt that her sister-in-law was very easy-going, so she chuckled and said, "Me too. Come often in the future, and we'll go out together to buy some delicious food." Bai Wei smiled and nodded after hearing this.

At this time, Shen's mother was walking towards this side with an exquisite gift box, with a kind smile on her face.

Walking up to Huaying, he deliberately said to her earnestly, "This is your sister-in-law's first time coming to our house, so as her younger sister, you have to take better care of her."

Huaying turned around, gave Bai Wei a mischievous smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, you will not only have a younger sister like me by your side, but also A Niang to support you!"

After hearing this, Bai Wei quickly stood up and saluted to Shen's mother.

Mrs. Shen took her hand affectionately, placed the gift box in her palm, and said gently: "We are a family now, don't be so polite. Your mother entrusted you to me back then, and I feel guilty for not being able to take good care of you over the years. If you continue to be distant with me, it will seem strange."

When Bai Wei heard the word "mother", her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Aunt, you are really embarrassing Bai Wei by saying this. Since my father passed away, I have gone to the border to mourn for him. My brother is also busy with work and can only come back to stay for a few days when he is free. Over the years, thanks to the letters sent by Nan Ting to comfort me, my uncle also hired someone to take care of the Bai Mansion on weekdays. Bai Wei is very grateful."

Mrs. Shen took Bai Wei's hand and chatted with her warmly. Bai Wei listened quietly. When Mrs. Shen talked about the interesting things in Shen Nanting's childhood, she chuckled from time to time, with a gentle expression on her face.

Just then, Shen's father led Shen Nanting slowly over.

Father Shen had a smile on his face and was also holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand. He handed the box to Bai Wei. Bai Wei quickly stood up and politely thanked Father Shen.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Wei stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

The whole family accompanied her to the gate and repeatedly reminded Shen Nanting to escort Bai Wei to the Bai Mansion.

The family watched the carriage leave before returning home. Shen Nanxing walked up to Huaying and whispered, "I thought that as the daughter of a military commander, my sister-in-law would know some martial arts skills, but she turned out to be as boring as those ladies from wealthy families."

Huaying glared at him and said, "What do you know? My sister-in-law has a gentle personality and elegant manners. She and my brother are a perfect match."

Seeing Shen Nanxing curling his lips in disdain, he joked, "Oh, I see. I'll tell your mother to find you a powerful wife someday, preferably one who can beat you three times a day."

Shen Nanxing burst into laughter when he heard this. "That's great. Such a day is so interesting."

Mrs. Shen, who was walking in front, heard their quarrel and said with a smile, "Nanxing, you are breaking the rules again."

Huaying returned to Molan Pavilion and walked into the yard to check on the wheat that she had asked Qingzhu to take care of when she left. She saw that the wheat seedlings had sprouted and were growing well, so she went back to her room to rest.

I was lying in bed thinking about how to talk to my father about the imperial examination in a few days, and then I fell asleep...

At this time in Taohua Town, Li Yuan, who had just been rescued from prison by his father with financial support, limped slowly out of the heavy prison door.

He glanced with disdain at his father who was standing under the shade of a tree and talking to the yamen runner, without any gratitude for his action.

It would be fine if he couldn't compete with Zui Jiangyue in the business world, but now seeing his smiling face makes him even more annoying.

Li Yuan walked towards the street step by step, ignoring his father's shouts behind him. His hatred for Fu Shiyan and Hua Ying became stronger and stronger. He secretly vowed to make them pay the price...
