In the Imperial Master's Mansion with a spacious entrance and carved beams and painted buildings, Su Jinyue looked at the girls in front of him with a headache.

How could she have known that a simple envoy to Qin could be so popular!

She was just a little craving for the fruit delicacies from the Western Regions.

Why are so many people thinking about me?

In the small garden pavilion with flying eaves and brackets, several girls looked at Su Jinyue sadly.

"Master Imperial Master, how come those stinky men can go, but us sisters can't?"

"that is!"

Shen Yuling, dressed in a goose yellow gown embroidered with rabbit fur trim and a golden butterfly hairpin on her head, stood up coquettishly and muttered angrily, "They look down on us so much! We sisters went to register, but the official didn't even record it and sent us away."

"It's infuriating! It's so infuriating!"

"Master Imperial Master, you must make the decision for us."

"Yes, Master Imperial Master, you are the most fair~"

This……

Su Jinyue was secretly happy.

Is this the happiness of a tyrant?

Look at these beauties.

Who can be so cruel as to refuse the requests of beautiful women?

"Cough cough..."

Su Jinyue coughed lightly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"About this matter, we have to ask your father and brothers."

Su Jinyue quietly revealed some of the inside story.

"It's said that some of the fathers and brothers knew their daughters' personalities too well and knew they would definitely register, so they made arrangements in advance and begged the registration officer not to record their daughters' names."

"what?"

The girls were shocked!

I've been angry for so long.

did not expect.

The traitor is right next to us!

"Whose father and brother? Shen Yuling, your eldest brother loves you the most. He must be reluctant to let you travel so far to take care of things!"

Shen Yuling also thought that this made sense, so she stood up and went home to argue with her father and brother.

"Master Imperial Master, thank you. I will go home and ask for clarification!"

After saying that, she walked out of the house at a very fast pace.

The other girls also had some doubts in their hearts, and they said goodbye to Su Jinyue and rushed home.

Tut tut...

Someone's backyard is on fire!

Su Jinyue smiled wickedly, not caring about the trouble, and hooked her finger at Shi Nudan.

Shi Nu Dan immediately stepped forward and came to Su Jinyue's side, "Master, what are your instructions?"

Su Jinyue: "You have many ways to go. Pay more attention to gossip in the next few days."

She raised her head and raised an eyebrow at Shi Nudan.

Shi Nudan immediately understood, looked at her with an expression that said "I understand", and nodded solemnly.

"Master, rest assured, I understand!"

hee hee~

Su Jinyue lifted the loose hair on her forehead, hiding her achievements and fame.

Several families were in chaos.

Several people gave earnest advice.

The entire city of Xianyang came alive.

Deep in the mountains south of Lujiang County, near southern Fujian, the village is still bustling with life.

Ding Ning and An and several other children carefully formed a circle, slowly narrowing the scope, preparing to catch the old hen in the middle.

"on!"

Ding Ning shouted loudly, and the children rushed forward and went straight to the old hen.

"Cluck da~"

The old hen looked at the crowd coming over leisurely, spread her wings, exerted force with her feet, and easily flew over the heads of the children, cackling, and quickly fled to the east of the village.

The shouting was intermittent, as if mocking the children's clumsiness.

"Oops! I should have brought a landing net!"

The children lowered their heads in frustration and chased in the direction where the old hen disappeared.

As soon as they turned around the wall of a farmer's courtyard, they ran into the eldest brother Duan Yuan, who was holding the old hen that had just escaped.

Duan Yuan chuckled, waved the hen in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Ding Ning, are you catching this chicken?"

Ding Ning and the others quickly replied, "Yes, Brother Duan, you are amazing! You caught the old hen by yourself!"

Duan Yuan walked forward, touched the children's heads, and warned them, "Here, take them back. Don't play around too much. It's getting dark. Come home and eat."

"Okay, brother, I'll bring you food later."

"I'll send it off too, brother, wait for me!"

"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you!"

Duan Yuan accepted the children's invitation in a good mood and turned to climb towards the farmhouse halfway up the mountain.

It rains a lot in the south and becomes humid in winter.

In recent days, Tian Lingzi's old cold legs have flared up, and he often suffers from so much pain that he can't sleep for nights.

This time, Duan Yuan went to the city to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine to relieve the teacher's pain.

In a farmhouse halfway up the mountain, Tian Lingzi was half lying on the kang, hugging a quilt, reading the latest issue of the monthly report.

There was a creaking sound and Duan Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, I brought back a medicine bag. I'll boil some medicine for you later. Drinking it will relieve your leg pain."

"Okay, you're interested."

Tian Lingzi moved closer to the kang, patted the edge, and asked Duan Yuan to sit on it. "Come on and warm up on the kang. It's too cold outside. Why bother making this trip?"

As he spoke, he put down the monthly report in his hand and pounded his legs. "With this kang, the pain in my legs has been mostly relieved. I can hold on without taking medicine."

At this time, Duan Yuan had already sat on the kang and reached out to gently massage Tian Lingzi's legs.

"Taking two approaches at the same time will always help you get better faster."

The fire in the house was burning very brightly, with a constant crackling sound.

Looking closely, there were some black and gray lumps in the stove, which emitted red and yellow light under the burning fire.

"There are still some black stones in the yard. They should be able to survive this winter."

Duan Yuan stood up and walked to the stove, using an iron hook to poke the black stone inside, talking non-stop.

"This black stone is in short supply, and the Ministry of Commerce is intentionally controlling its availability. Each family can only buy ten kilograms. It's said to be shipped from the north, so the price is extremely high."

Tian Lingzi shook his head and chuckled, "It doesn't necessarily come from the north. This thing is durable and resistant to fire, making it a good material for forging tools. The court will naturally control it."

"Indeed, I think they were all taken away by the Qin Iron Officials."

The two were silent for a moment, staring at the flames in the stove, frowning in thought.

After a moment, Tian Lingzi looked up at Duan Yuan and asked, "Any news about the fireworks?"

Duan Yuan sighed and shook his head. "We'll have to wait a while. Xianyang is too far away, and we have to avoid the Black Armor Guards' pursuit. News won't arrive until spring at the earliest."

There was another moment of silence.

Tian Lingzi touched the words on the monthly report, his eyes fell on the four words "descendants and grandchildren", and his mind was filled with thoughts.

"Are your fellow apprentices all right now?"

"There's no news, so I guess nothing happened."

The sun gradually set in the west, and the two chatted from time to time.

They waited until the children came to the door before they smiled and called out to them to come in.

"Master, Senior Brother, it's so warm here, we don't want to leave."

"Haha, then sleep with the old man. Let's sleep on the kang tonight."

"Then I'll go back and tell them, and we'll get together, and the teacher will give us a lecture in the evening."

"Okay, okay, let's sleep together. The teacher will tell you the story of Mo Zu repelling the enemy."

……

As the sun sets and the moon rises, wisps of smoke gradually rise in the small village and blow towards the treetops along the cold wind.
