Lin Shuyun turned to look at Qin Niangzi without changing her expression.
Qin Niangzi was just teasing the young man, but she didn't expect Yunyun to be so shameless.
Unable to resist raising an eyebrow, "The way you're all smiles, it's obvious you're..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoqing returned with the food. "What are you talking about, Spring Breeze?"
"You look like a spring breeze, you're exhausted and going to sleep." Madam Qin shut up.
"Don't want to eat?"
Xiaoqing was carrying a large food box. Everyone was busy tidying up the yard, so they simply bought some food for dinner.
His response was the sound of Qin Niangzi closing the door.
Xiaoqing's face darkened again. He specially bought the food but didn't eat it. What does this woman mean?
"Brother Xiaoqing, you've worked hard. You should eat and rest now." Lin Shuyun took the food box.
Xiaoqing felt much better after seeing Lin Shuyun.
Forget it, we've already died once, what's there to be upset about? It's not like he's the one who's starving if we don't eat.
Qin Niangzi had previously admitted in front of everyone that Xiaoqing was her son, but after he was found, she never mentioned it again.
Everyone tactfully refrained from asking further. The way these two interacted was nothing like mother and son; rather, it was more like a pair of sworn enemies, always bickering whenever they met.
We had just finished eating when it got completely dark.
"Husband, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Lin Shuyun was exhausted after a long day, so she pulled him towards the bed.
Jiang Changtian glanced at the doorway and lowered his voice, "Yunyun, I don't know how well this room is soundproofed. We should choose a room that's farther away from them."
It was barely dark, and everyone was still awake.
Lin Shuyun was just about to lie down when she heard this and burst out laughing. "What are you thinking about? When I said sleep, I just meant simple sleep."
Could it be that the young general wants to do something with her?
Jiang Changtian's ears burned; he had thought...
Lin Shuyun mischievously leaned closer to him and bit his ear, "Little General, I tried it just now, and no one could hear me when I called out, so you can shout louder without worry, no one will hear you."
Jiang Changtian looked as appetizing as a perfectly cooked shrimp.
"Hahahaha..." Lin Shuyun laughed mischievously for a while, then pounced on the person.
However, she only took a small taste and then stopped. Taking a shower afterwards was quite troublesome, and with her period approaching, she became lazy and simply didn't want to do anything.
She stopped, but someone else immediately sprang into action, full of energy.
Lin Shuyun thought about it herself, so she didn't refuse. In the end, she felt comfortable, but she was so tired that she didn't want to move a single finger.
Jiang Changtian boiled water in the middle of the night and carried the person to bathe. Luckily, he had bought a large bathtub in advance.
Lin Shuyun looked at the bucket of water, casually put it into her spatial storage, and poured it out later. She thought to herself that this was too inconvenient and that she would have to renovate a bathroom specifically for it.
Before falling asleep, Lin Shuyun vaguely thought that she should hire a few servants, otherwise she would have to boil water herself in the middle of the night, which was quite troublesome.
It seems the money for the purchase is running low.
Mr. Ke and she are business partners, so they should be able to start receiving dividends soon, right?
Forget it, I'm too sleepy.
……
……
The autumn nights are still a bit chilly.
In a small courtyard three miles from the city, Chen Jingfeng, Chen Ting, and their old housekeeper were having dinner.
A small table was set up in the courtyard, and the three of them sat around it.
They searched for two days in Shengjing but couldn't find a suitable courtyard, so they had to come out of the city again to rent this small courtyard.
The courtyard was rented with another grandfather and grandson. The old man was old and lived alone with his grandson, who was still young. Chen Jingfeng thought there was no danger, so he rented the place.
They had almost no money left, and they hadn't expected that housing prices in Shengjing would be so outrageous when they came.
Fortunately, we saved money along the way, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford even this small, shabby courtyard.
Chen Ting poked at the thin porridge in her bowl with a pained expression. "Brother Jingfeng, I don't want to drink porridge. I want to eat roast chicken. I've been drinking porridge for two days now, and my stomach is starting to reflux acid."
And this place they live in, what kind of place is this? The house is so dilapidated, it probably leaks when it rains. It's not even as good as their house at home.
Shengjing is such a prosperous place, and it's beautiful everywhere, but unfortunately they can only stay three miles outside the city.
“We don’t have much money left after renting this courtyard. I’ll take on some copying jobs later, and I’ll buy you roast chicken when I earn some money.” Chen Jingfeng said while drinking porridge and reading by the moonlight.
The exam was just around the corner, so he took the opportunity to study more. He had come all this way and didn't want to leave disappointed.
Chen Ting really couldn't eat anymore, so she said, "How about we borrow some from Brother Jiang and Brother Xiaoqing first, and you can pay them back later?"
They had good food and lodging along the way, so they must be wealthy.
Moreover, Jiang Changtian was brought back to Shengjing by the Jiang family, who are at least fifth-rank officials and certainly not short of money.
Chen Jingfeng shook his head, "We've only met by chance. They've already shown us a favor by letting us follow them all the way. How could we possibly ask to borrow money?"
Aside from when they stayed at inns or camped out in the wild, they always took advantage of others along the way.
"Why can't you just ask to borrow money? Brother, now that you've entered Luming Academy, they might need your help later. It's not like you can't repay the favor."
Chen Ting thought that her brother Jingfeng was very learned and was highly regarded by the teachers in their hometown. She was sure that he would be highly regarded as well when he entered the academy.
Chen Jingfeng changed the subject, "Ting'er, the people living here are a bit mixed up, you should change back into men's clothes."
"I don't want to. Men's clothes don't look good at all. What's unsafe under the emperor's nose? You're overthinking it."
Chen Ting went back to her room, unhappy.
She used to think that Brother Jingfeng was the best; he was good at studying and doted on her. But after meeting other people on the road, she found them to be nagging, controlling, and not having much money; she could only drink plain porridge every day.
Seeing Chen Jingfeng frown, the old butler hurriedly advised, "Young master, don't take it to heart. Miss Ting is used to being pampered, so it's normal that she can't eat plain porridge."
Chen Jingfeng's arm started to feel uncomfortable again. Hearing this, he put down his bowl. "I can't get used to it? What's there to not get used to? Did we live a life of luxury before? Brother Jiang is right. We're not three-year-olds anymore. If we don't want to eat, we don't have to. We'll learn to eat after a few meals of hunger."
Hearing this, Chen Ting inside the house burst into tears.
Brother Jingfeng is not nice to him at all now, not even as nice as Brother Xiaoqing.
Thinking of Xiaoqing's outstanding appearance, Chen Ting couldn't help but blush under the covers.
Xiaoqing was truly the most handsome man he had ever seen.
