The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Most of the content was written down fluently and the answers were all correct, which surprised Shen Yuxi very much. He saw the efforts and progress of Xie Lan and Xie Yuan during this period.

However, it can be seen from the written quotations that their foundation is weak, which is also unavoidable, after all, they started late and have relatively little time to study.

Shen Yuxi sighed slightly. He knew that they still had a long way to go, but he also believed that as long as they continued to work hard and accumulate knowledge, they would be able to make up for the shortcomings in their foundation.

"How did you do in the exam?" Xie Songlin had also been waiting for a long time, looking at Shen Yuxi nervously. Seeing him sometimes happy and sometimes sighing, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad." Shen Yuxi naturally had no secrets from Xie Songlin. "The solution is basically correct, but the content is not enough. It's mainly because my academic foundation is still a little too weak. But there will be no problem getting into the academy. I just don't think my ranking will be too high."

After hearing this, Xie Songlin's tension eased a little. He knew that being admitted to the academy was already a very good result.

He looked at Shen Yuxi gratefully and said, "Yunhan, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Shen Yuxi has also been very busy during this period. She has devoted all her efforts to Xie Lan and Xie Yuan's studies, from making study plans to patiently explaining difficult problems, and has devoted a lot of effort to every aspect.

Xie Songlin knew his family situation and planned to prepare a big red envelope for him after the exam.

Shen Yuxi said: "It's not hard, Uncle Xie, this is what I should do."

Because the entrance examination of Hanfeng Academy is approaching, Qingshui Town has been very lively recently. The town is always very lively at this time every year because many people come from other places specifically to take the entrance examination.

The inns in the town are almost all full, with every room filled with students coming to take the exam and their accompanying family members.

Business was booming at restaurants of all sizes, not to mention Xie Songlin's shop, which, situated at the entrance of Hanfeng Academy, enjoyed a prime location. The place was bustling with activity every day. Students, parents, and visitors to the academy would pass by, drawn in by the aroma wafting from the shop.

Moreover, milk tea was a novelty drink that many outsiders had never tried. They were captivated by its unique taste and rich aroma. Some fell in love with it after their first taste and flocked to buy it to try. Xie Songlin's shop attracted more customers and his business flourished.

Although Xie Songlin no longer has free time, he happily collects money from Frappuccinos every day, and chats with students who come to take the exam or their families, and inquires about the situation outside.

"The number of applicants this year is not as high as in the past. It's probably affected by the disaster outside." A scholar-looking man bought milk tea and stood at the door looking at the people entering the academy to register. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and the milk tea in his hand was emitting wisps of hot steam.

"Oh? So many people, is that considered a small number?" Xie Songlin said curiously, his eyes also cast on the bustling crowd at the entrance of the academy.

"Yes, the number of people signing up now is probably less than 70% of what it used to be." The scholar nodded slightly, then looked at Xie Songlin with a hint of doubt, "At this time of year in previous years, there were more people at the entrance of the academy. Boss, are you a new shop? Right here at the gate, don't you know what happened in the past?"

Xie Songlin smiled and said, "I opened this shop last summer. I used to live in the countryside, so I had never seen a college enrollment scene before. I didn't expect so many people to come. It's actually still relatively small compared to the past. This Hanfeng College is really famous."

"Yes, this year is a disaster year, so fewer people come to register for the exam." The scholar nodded slightly, with a hint of regret on his face.

Xie Songlin asked, "Where did you come from, sir?"

"I'm from Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan is a wonderful place, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Young Master, you have come from afar. I wonder if you know anything about the disaster in Yongzhou?"

"I know a little, but the disaster in Yongzhou is a bit strange. Cangzhou was the worst-hit area, and it's basically under control now. But Yongzhou should have been the least affected area, but I heard that the disaster has become more serious in recent days." The scholar frowned slightly, a puzzled look on his face, and his words revealed his worry and confusion about the disaster in Yongzhou.

After Xie Songlin listened to the scholar's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit strange. Yongzhou is said to have suffered less damage, so it should be easier to control the disaster."

Their conversation attracted the attention of some people around them, and everyone gathered around and joined the discussion.

"I think it's probably the inaction of Yongzhou officials that has made the disaster worse."

An old man nearby shook his head and said slowly, "That's not true. I heard that Yongzhou officials are paying close attention to disaster relief. Disasters are inherently unpredictable. Perhaps there's something special going on in Yongzhou that's making it difficult to control."

A young student eagerly joined the discussion: "Yongzhou's complex terrain has indeed brought great difficulties to disaster relief. Transporting the relief grain is not easy either. The roads are rugged and winding, making transportation difficult. Moreover, the area is narrow and often infested with bandits. They are likely to target the relief grain in order to survive."

"I haven't heard of any disaster relief grain being stolen."

Xie Songlin listened for a long time beside the counter and found that no one mentioned the disappearance of the disaster relief grain in Yongzhou, as if they didn't know anything about it.

He secretly wondered how these people could be so completely unaware of such a significant event. It seemed that not only had the disappearance of this batch of relief grain been kept secret, but even the news of it had been kept secret. Xie Songlin's eyes revealed a deep sense of contemplation. He couldn't imagine how such a significant event could have been kept so secret. And how had Old Man Zhao even known of this?

Could the Lu family members who disappeared without a trace in the capital be related to this disaster relief grain issue? This thought suddenly flashed through Xie Songlin's mind, and this idea was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in his heart.

He began to connect the two seemingly unrelated things and think about the possible connection between them. He remembered that when Xie Wanxing and Lu Zhou were chatting, he had mentioned that Lu Zhou's family was in business and was a famous grain merchant in the capital.

The information he suddenly recalled made him more convinced that there might be some connection between the two things. If the Luzhou family was a famous grain merchant in the capital, then was it possible that they were involved in the matter of disaster relief grain?

The more Xie Songlin thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was not simple. He decided to wait for news from Tao Bihua before asking in detail.
