"Okay, let's pack up now." Shen Chulan and Ye Wan smiled and nodded, then started to get busy.

Old Mrs. Liu thought that today was a happy day and she had to prepare some good food to celebrate.

They were tired of eating the meat, so Old Lady Liu planned to make a hot pot.

The weather is just right now.

When Yaoyao heard that there was a delicious and spicy hot pot to eat, she quickly threw out sheep, rabbits, and roe deer from the space and sliced ​​them for Old Lady Liu.

As if that wasn't enough, they threw out some chickens, fish, river shrimps, fresh mushrooms, and vegetables.

A lot of the fruits in the space were ripe, so Yaoyao simply took out some at once.

This made Guoping, Guoxing, Guowang and Guoan very excited. They had no shortage of meat, but Yaoyao didn't often take out this sweet fruit.

Seeing her brothers happily eating fruits, Yaoyao suddenly understood.

It turns out that the fruit brothers also love to eat it.

Then she should take it out every day from now on.

No one was idle today. Old Man Yuan and Old Man Yuan were slaughtering sheep and chickens, and the whole family was busy.

Yuan Laosan took the tools and started making a three-color tripod stove.

Even though Yuan Laosan didn't have many tools, he could still make a pot with the help of the things around him.

Old Mrs. Liu sliced ​​half of the ten-pound fish into slices and rolled the other half into balls.

I fried the bottom of the wok myself and brought it out.

Lamb slices, rabbit slices, roe deer slices, pork slices, chicken slices, etc. were served on the table one by one. Everyone felt warm in their hearts as they smelled the spicy and fresh aroma.

Just as I was about to start eating, someone knocked on the door.

The Yuan family looked at each other with confusion, not understanding who would come knocking on the door at this time when they were unfamiliar with the place.

"Could it be the county magistrate?" Old Mrs. Liu remembered that "Prefect Jiang" had come to see Yaoyao before, so she guessed.

"I don't know. Just open the door and you'll know." After saying that, Yuan Laoer stood up and walked to the door to open it.

When I opened the door, I saw someone I didn't expect.

"Master Lu, Master Yue, Ci'er, how did you find your way here?"

Yuan Laoer looked at the people who suddenly appeared with a look of surprise.

Yue Yuan, Lu Jiu and Xiao Ci were followed by A Li and Xiao Yi with a cold face.

When Yaoyao heard they were coming, she happily slid down from her chair, skipped over to Xiao Ci, and asked in a cute voice, "Brother Xiao Ci, why are you here?"

"We learned that Grandpa Yuan and his friends passed the examination and became scholars, so we came here specially to congratulate them." Xiao Ci finally saw Yaoyao again after a few days, and the smile on his face never faded.

"You found out so quickly?" Old Lady Liu came out to greet them. Then she thought it wasn't surprising that they knew about this matter first, considering their status. Seeing that they were still outside the door, she said, "Come in quickly."

As he said this, he pulled away Yuan Laoer who was standing at the door and welcomed him in.

"It seems we have really come at the right time." Lu Jiu smelled the overbearing aroma of fresh, spicy and hot meat outside the door, and his mouth became dull. He wanted to eat a bite of hot and spicy meat quickly.

Yue Yuan's appetite was also aroused by the smell. He licked his lips and said, "I haven't tasted this in a long time."

"You've come at the right time. Please sit down quickly." Old Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked them to sit down.

Ali pulled Xiaoyi to sit in the corner of the table, looking at the steaming pot in front of him with a greedy look. The meatballs inside had already floated up, obviously they were cooked.

Yuan Laosan saw more people and there were not enough pots, so he took some tools and started hammering away. After a while, a pot was made and placed on the table.

Old Mrs. Liu poured the remaining soup base into the pot, and Shen Chulan sliced ​​up the remaining meat and brought it out.

"Eat. You must be hungry now that you're here, right?" Old Mrs. Liu said as she picked up a meatball and put it into Xiao Ci's bowl.

Yaoyao and a few other kids were already enjoying a bowl of meatballs each.

Lu Jiu picked up a few slices of rabbit meat and put them into the soup. The rabbit meat was cut very thinly and was cooked in a short while. It was served with sesame oil and garlic sauce. There were only two words to describe it when he put it in his mouth.

Fresh and tender.

Yueyuan was eating so happily that he couldn't put his chopsticks down at all.

The happiest person was of course Ali, who enjoyed the meal very much and kept stuffing meat into his mouth without worrying about the heat.

Even Xiaoyi's eating movements became faster.

After dinner, everyone sat together and started chatting.

Lu Jiu asked Ali to bring up the things he had brought.

"This is a gift I specially prepared. Congratulations on passing the exam."

What was served was not something particularly expensive, but it was something they could use right now.

The finest wolf-hair brushes and excellent rice paper.

There are also some rare copies that are not available on the market.

Old Man Yuan couldn't let go of these rare books, and he wanted to read them right there and then. It was only after Old Lady Liu coughed a few times that he finally reacted and hurriedly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Yue Yuan also asked Xiao Yi to bring the gift he had prepared.

He prepared tea and fine wine.

These are also what Old Man Yuan likes.

Whether rich or poor, everyone has a hobby of drinking tea.

Xiao Ciren was still young and had no gifts prepared, so he just played with Yaoyao Yueer.

"When did you arrive in the provincial capital?" asked Old Lady Liu.

Lu Jiu replied, "I arrived in the city a few days ago, but I was busy with some matters, so I only had time to come here today."

Yaoyao, who was squatting on the ground playing with stones, looked up at Lu Jiu when she heard this.

Well, they must be busy. It will take them more than ten days to move all the treasures on the parchment.

You must have come here today to ask for something.

I have to say that Lu Jiu, Yue Yuan, Xiao Ci and the others really came to see Yaoyao for something.

They really didn't expect that the amount of gold, silver and jewelry on the parchment scroll would reach such an astonishing amount.

They don't have so many people moving.

If we move it slowly, we can finish it, but if we delay for a month, it may not be finished yet, which will attract the attention of those people.

Then their plan will be exposed.

Old Lady Liu didn't know about these things. She pulled Yue'er and said to Lu Jiu, "Look at her. Has she been feeling better recently?"

Lu Jiu looked at Yue'er carefully and found nothing different.

He had only met Yue'er a few times, so he really couldn't notice any changes in her.

Yue Yuan noticed it and said in surprise, "This child has changed a lot."

What surprised him even more was that the thing Yue'er was wearing around her neck seemed to be nourishing her soul.

It made her look a lot more energetic.

"Well, Yue'er has been very obedient recently. She can understand what I say when I talk to her. It seems that it is better to be around people. Children like to be lively and their temperaments will naturally become more lively."

Old Lady Liu was smiling. In her opinion, the child was just suppressed in the palace, and now that he was out, he looked much more normal.
