"It's okay, I'll find a formal occasion next time." Wang Ruiyan smiled.

Qiuxiang opened the umbrella and held it next to Wang Ruiyan, silently waiting for her to leave.

"Okay." Li Mofu made an OK gesture.

Watching Wang Ruiyan leave, Li Mofu first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little melancholy.

He was afraid that Wang Ruiyan would know that he was a transmigrator in a book, but after spending some time with her, he felt that chatting with her was very pleasant. It seemed that he could tell her anything because she could understand it all.

"Sir..." Guozi said faintly, "Sir, don't even think about it. She's the second daughter of the Minister of Rites. You can't even think about it."

"Yes, Mr. Li, you should pay attention to your identity!" Mo Yi emphasized.

Li Mofu rolled his eyes, pointed at Guozi and then at Mo Yi, "You guys are so filthy!"

“……”Fruit.

“…”Mo Yi.

"Let's go. I'm dying of heat. Let's go home!" Li Mofu put on his hat, picked up the lotus flowers and lotus leaves, and walked towards the carriage.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Li Mofu's celebration was not as lively as the Lantern Festival. Although she had good food and drinks, she could not go out late at night because Lu Mingyun was not at home.

"Is the scientific examination after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Mofu asked while chewing the barbecue.

Guozi picked up a few pieces of cabbage for him and said, "Yes, sir. The exam will start on the fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"No wonder there are so many scholars on the streets recently." Li Mofu understood.

"Most of them are poor students. They rush to the capital to find a place to stay and earn some money." Guozi sighed.

Li Mofu nodded and continued to eat his meat.

Because the exam time was approaching and the review was intense, Lu Mingyun did not return to the courtyard or the marquis' mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"If your young master really wants to be an official somewhere else, can I just stay there and not come back?" Li Mofu asked vaguely while chewing the barbecue.

Guozi smiled bitterly, "How can we have the final say on this?"

"Why don't you want to come back?" Mo Yi asked, leaning against the door.

"It's so troublesome to go back and forth. Besides, when your young master returns to Beijing, he will be old enough to get married. It will be inappropriate to take me with him." Li Mofu looked like he was thinking about Lu Mingyun.

Mo Yi glanced at Li Mofu twice and then looked away. What he said made sense, but the decision was made by the young master, and he was only responsible for talking to the young master.

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed by in a flash. Apart from feeling a bit more lively during the day, Li Mofu didn't think it was anything special. He even felt a little scary.

Especially when you are walking on the street and see a few scholars gathered together discussing what to do if they fail the exam.

This reminded him of the college entrance examination...it was really a nightmare.

Later, Wang Ruiyan opened a shop and Li Mofu would visit it from time to time.

There are many things in the store that she has improved, such as jelly and cold dishes. She changed some of the ingredients to make them less strange in taste.

For example, for snacks, she made rice crust.

Others are nervous during exams, but Li Mofu doesn't feel nervous at all. He eats, drinks and goes shopping every day, living a carefree, happy and free life.

In the blink of an eye, August is coming to an end.

That morning, Li Mofu was playing Go with Mo Yi in the yard.

Speaking of Go, this is a new thing he has learned recently. He found it troublesome at first, but later he was really bored and learned a little bit from an old man in a teahouse.

It was fine when I didn't know how to do this, but now that I do, I feel itchy from time to time and always want to invite others to play chess with me.

But in the yard, only Nanny Liang knew a little, but Nanny Liang was busy and could not accompany him often, so Li Mofu taught Guozi, and the two newbies often pecked at each other.

However, Guozi was busy early in the morning, so Li Mofu pulled Mo Yi to play. Mo Yi kept saying that he didn't know how to play, but when he was really asked to play together, he showed no mercy.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too big, and Li Mofu soon lost interest and ran back to his study to read his leisure books.

Mo Yi stayed in the yard and quietly packed up the chess pieces. After finishing, he did not forget to drink a cup of tea. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed as if he had said everything.
