The Emperor has arrived! The eunuch's distinctive voice echoed. The Empress led her seven-year-old son out to greet him. "Your Highness, I respectfully welcome you. Your son pays homage to your father. May your father be well and safe." Hahahaha, everyone get up! The Emperor stepped forward to help the Empress to her feet, then pulled up his son and walked into the house to speak. "Xiao'er has sent a letter. Let me show you."

The Queen asked in surprise, "Really? Xiao'er has sent a letter. Your Majesty, please bring it to me and show it to me."

Emperor, okay, don't be anxious.

Several people took their seats. "Emperor, please leave! I will summon you if there is anything." The maids and eunuchs bowed and saluted. "Yes, yes." They filed out of the hall. The emperor took out the letter, opened it, and handed it to the empress. Seeing the contents, the empress was delighted. Still unsure, she asked, "Is this true?" Emperor.

"Has Xiao'er's poison really been cured?" the Queen asked uncertainly. "Is this true?" Not only was Xiao'er's poison cured, but the Princess of Liping County also managed to produce a thousand kilograms of grain per mu. Is that really the case? Has our Yulong Dynasty encountered a lucky star? The people of the Yulong Dynasty are truly blessed.

Knock knock, sir, there are two women outside the door. They say they are Li Fanghua, the wife of Bai Musong from Baijia Village. The county magistrate looked up and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

The servant said that Li Fanghua was from Baijia Village.

"County Magistrate, let her in quickly!" The servant hurried out, thinking to himself, "It's a good thing I didn't refuse them entry. I ran to the government office to inform the County Magistrate, otherwise I would have been in big trouble." Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

The door creaked open, and the servant lost his previous arrogance. He smiled and stepped forward. "Ladies, please come in. The county magistrate is waiting for you inside." The servant followed from the side to lead the way.

Li Fangfang glanced at the servant, thinking that he was such a snob who looked down on others and relied on the power of others.

The servant nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's my fault that I didn't recognize a great man and looked down on others. I hope you will forgive me and spare me this time."

An San and An Wu followed quietly behind, sneaking into the County Magistrate's residence. They watched as the servant led Li Fanghua and the other two to the County Magistrate's study. The two men saw them enter the study and lightly jumped onto the roof. As they lifted the tiles, a sound emanated from within the house.

"Sir, we've already given you the secret recipe you asked us to get. Then you asked me to get the ingredient packet, insisting that the recipe I gave you was incomplete." The County Magistrate replied, "How can I know if the recipe you gave me is correct? We haven't tried it yet, so I have no choice but to let you get the ingredient packet again."

The county magistrate asked, "Okay, have you brought the ingredients? If you have, give it to me immediately. You don't want the silver anymore."

Li Fanghua said, you have to give me the silver first, then I can give you the material package.

County Magistrate Li, wait a minute, I'll get the silver for you.

"Here's the silver," they said, "give me the ingredients." They counted the notes and looked at them. Xinghua couldn't read and had never seen a note before. She hurriedly asked Li Fanghua, "Is that right?"

Li Fanghua counted and found it was exactly 1000 taels.

Then he said to County Magistrate Feng, "Since you have received the material package, we have already signed the contract for the silver and goods."

Then we should leave and not disturb the county magistrate from making money.

County Magistrate Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

The servant led the two men out. The county magistrate raised his head, looked at the backs of the two men walking away, whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and the servant took the order and left.

Li Fanghua and the other man left the county magistrate's yard. When they reached a corner, Xinghua couldn't wait to say, "Okay, give me the silver!"

Li Fanghua asked, what silver.

Xinghua replied, I helped you steal the secret recipe silver, and you agreed to give me 200 taels.

Li Fanghua, your money is indispensable, he said as he counted out two silver notes and handed them to Xinghua.

Speaking of leaving quickly, we can't stay here.

Xinghua said, "What are you busy with? Now that we have money, let's go to the big restaurant for a meal." The two of them just popped their heads out from the corner and quickly retreated. Xinghua asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Li Fanghua covered her pounding heart. "I knew County Magistrate Feng wasn't a good person. He wouldn't let us take his 1000 taels of silver so easily. He quickly sent people out to arrest us."

Xinghua's hands trembled with fear, and she trembled as she said, "What should I do? What should I do? I can't hide here. There's nowhere to hide! Find a way quickly."

Xinghua tugged at Li Fanghua's sleeve and shook it hard, "Hurry up and think of a way, hurry up and think of a way! I don't want to be caught by him. What's the use of having money now? I have to live to spend it."

Li Fanghua casually plucked a handful of apricot blossoms and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't make any noise. I'll call them over soon. Wait while I think of a solution." At this time, Li Fanghua saw a bucket of whistle water by the wall.

Her eyes rolled and she had an idea, so she poured the water on the ground, sprinkled some mud and broken leaves on it, and shouted "Apricot Blossom".

"Xinghua, come and rub this on your body." Xinghua had lost her composure at this point. "So what if it's dirty?" she asked. "Just do as she's told and you'll be alive." Xinghua did whatever Li Fanghua told her to do, so she followed Li Fanghua's lead and smeared the leaves mixed with water and dirt all over her body, making her look dirty and smelly. They both scratched their hair and smeared it with dirt and leaves.

They picked up a stick from the side and held it. Li Fanghua glanced at Xinghua and said, "Remember, don't be nervous, don't say anything, just look at me." Xinghua was so frightened that she was trembling all over and dared not say a word of rebuttal.

They did whatever Li Fanghua told them to do. The two of them walked out tremblingly.

In fact, she was so frightened that she walked out trembling all over. She looked like she was trembling with hunger. When she saw several people coming out of the county magistrate's mansion, Li Fanghua quickly pulled Xinghua back to the side. The servant ran over and saw two disheveled people. He was about to go forward to ask, but the smell was too strong.

The servant could only stand two meters away and ask, "Hey, stinky beggar, have you seen the two women?" The two tremblingly said, "No, no, I didn't see them. Hey, guys, please have pity on us! We haven't eaten for several days."

When the servant saw the two men were dirty and had messy hair, he quickly stepped back, cursing, "What bad luck, what bad luck."

He quickly called on the other servants to chase after him. He kept saying that if they chased him quickly, he wouldn't get far. Several people continued to chase him. When two of them saw the servant walking away, they looked at each other and hurried away.

Xinghua asked Li Fanghua, if County Magistrate Feng couldn't catch us, would he come to our house to look for us?

Li Fanghua explained to Xinghua that no matter how bad the county magistrate was, he was still an official. He could only arrest us secretly. As long as we returned home, he would have no reason to arrest us again. Would he tell anyone that he had us steal the secret recipe? He was an official of the imperial court. If everyone knew that he was breaking the law, his reputation and career would be ruined. Don't worry, let's go home quickly. As soon as the two of them left the county, they were knocked unconscious by the secret guards who had been following them and taken away.

"Sister, sister, are you back? We missed you so much!" The two younger brothers hugged Siyu's legs, one on each side, and acted coquettishly. They kept shouting, "Sister, sister, why did you go out for so long? We all missed you so much!"

A Yu is just like his name, always looking mature and steady.

It was different with Ah Huan, he was lively and talkative, and at this time he kept asking questions incessantly.

Ah Huan, where did you go? Did you have any fun? Did you come across anything new and interesting? Can you tell us about it?

Siyu replied, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you later."

I'll go talk to Dad first, two little brothers, okay! The two little brothers answered a little frustrated, and Siyu came to Dad.

I bowed and said, "Daddy is fine. I'm back. How was your time away? You seem a little thinner. Are you not eating well? Don't go out when you come back. Ask your mother to make you some delicious food to nourish you."

Let me tell you! A child who is loved by his parents is a treasure. A father is like a mountain. No matter how far the children go, they always think of their father supporting them. This big mountain at home can protect us from wind and rain! Siyu rubbed her head against her father's hand and said to her father coquettishly, "Daddy still loves me the most."

Siyu thought about how her parents died early in her previous life and she grew up with her grandmother and never experienced parental love. In this life, she had parents who loved her.

Siyu acted coquettishly and said, "I have never left my daddy in my life." Siyu choked up a little as she said this, "I miss my daddy a little."

Bai Qingyuan also felt a little sad. His daughter had never left his side since she was a child, and now she had been away for several months. He really missed her a little bit.

Okay, okay, this year's autumn imperial examination, dad and your two younger brothers are planning to give it a try. Whether you can pass or not, you should first adapt to the atmosphere of the examination room. Siyu looked up in surprise and said, "Really?"

Then I wish you success, father. The two younger brothers also came over and said, "Sister, you're done, right?"

Let’s go, let’s go, Dad, we have something to talk to my sister about.

Hello everyone. Today marks the 54th day since I started writing this book as a newbie, Xiaobai. There are still many areas where I might be lacking.
