When Lin Yuzhu heard that Li He'er was going back to her parents' home, she remembered the promise to help the Li family recognize ginseng, and found that she almost forgot the delay.

He quickly told Li He'er about this. Li He'er smiled and said, "Let's go after the New Year. It will take a lot of time to enter the mountain. This year, we will have more than a few days at home and will open the door to do business only on the sixth day of the lunar month."

The New Year is coming soon, so you can't go into the mountains now.

Li He'er put the purchased New Year's goods on the carriage, ate a large bowl of dumplings with Lin Yushu and took An An Pingping away.

The four of them won't come back tonight, so the room where they slept was left to plum blossoms and the little boy.

Lin Yuzhu took Qianyu and Qianxun to sleep.

New Year's Eve is undoubtedly busy. When Lin Yuzhu wakes up early in the morning, she smells the aroma of braised meat from the kitchen.

After putting on Chichi and Chihiro's clothes, she went to the kitchen and saw a pot of various meats, including chicken, duck, pork and head meat.

Lin Yuzhu took the chopsticks and picked up a chicken claw and ate it. She tasted extremely fragrant.

Zhang Bihua said with anticipation in her eyes: "How is it good? I added some spices to it. There was only a little spice you made before."

Lin Yuzhu said while chewing, "It tastes delicious, it tastes quite fragrant. You should use old brine."

Her braised dishes are the best she has ever eaten when she came to this world, and the taste of other stores is not very good.

Zhang Bihua smiled and nodded and said, "I used some old marinade. Your father went to the county town to buy meat and food. He didn't say in advance that there would be so many people at home, which made the family less prepared."

Lin Yuzhu and the others brought some food back, but it would be better to buy some more. There would be no one outside doing business during the Chinese New Year. It would be fine to reserve more.

Ye Zi and Hongxiu are very diligent, Qianyu and Qianxun are taken by Xiaodou and Xiaojiu, and Xiaoya joins Lin Laoshi into the city.

The braised braised pork was placed in a large basket. Zhang Bihua found a kitchen knife and chopping board for the leaves and Hongxiu to cut.

This year is the most lively year for the Lin family. When Lin Laoshi came back, he pulled a cart of stuff.

The Shouhou and the others were very clever in helping to move. Lin Chen was afraid that there would be no food, so he bought some food, meat and vegetables. Fortunately, the merchants in the city were familiar with him, and the price was calculated at an ordinary price.

The main hall was filled with food, which looked very fulfilled.

The boys of Skinny Monkey are quite solid. Lin Yuzhu said that there are many fish by the river, and a few children are interested. They ask Lin Yushu from time to time when he will be back at home.

Lin Yushu and Li Heer came back shortly after breakfast, and took the fishing net bought by Lin Yuzhu and the others to the river.

The thin monkey was the first to carry the wooden barrel, and the other three children followed Lin Yushu excitedly.

In the imperial city.

The Eight Kings Mansion was very lively today, and Qingzhong stood at the door to welcome the guests who came to visit.

Nangong Yunqi personally received the prince and several emperor brothers.

Prince Nangong Chengqian smiled, and the housekeeper behind him held a gift. It can be said that he was very considerate in etiquette: "The Eighth Emperor will go to the border after the New Year. Are you sure in your heart?"

The other princes looked at Nangong Yunqi.

Nangong Yunqi nodded faintly and smiled: "It should be no problem. Recently, the emperor should also know that the father found several retired generals to teach me a lesson, taught me a lot of knowledge about leading troops to fight, and read a lot of military books."

When Nangong Chengqian heard this, a trace of jealousy flashed in his heart.

If he knew that Nangong Yunqi had such a strong learning ability, he shouldn't have suggested that the retired generals teach Nangong Yunqi.

Who knew that Nangong Yunqi, who could not even recognize words, learned to read and write in just two months, and was also very eager to learn. Whether it was travel notes, military tactics, or famous works, he would read them carefully. What made him most jealous was Nangong Yunqi's memory and understanding ability.

Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, he secretly cursed Nangong Yunqi and would rather die on the front line and said: "That's good. The emperor is just worried that you will not go smoothly when you go to the border. Leading troops to fight is a tough skill, not as simple as talking about war on paper. You must be careful, you are really true. My father and mother said that you would give you a marriage and let you get married during the New Year. Why do you refuse?"

Nangong Yunqi's mind flashed through the scene of Lin Yuzhu and his two children, and said sincerely: "The emperor also knows that I am going to the border soon. Life and death are fate. Whether I can come back alive is different. If I get married, wouldn't it hurt my girl? And I don't know how many years I will stay here. The emperor also asks to take good care of my father and mother in the imperial city."

He went to the border just to avoid being married, so how could he agree to the queen's request?

The third prince Nangong Chengjue looked regretful and said, "It's a pity that I'm not in good health, otherwise I would have gone to the battlefield with my brother. I'm really ashamed. You have to go to the border just after you return to the palace."

This is somewhat hypocritical.

Nangong Yunqi didn't expose it. He knew that many people in front of him were jealous of him, jealous of his special care by the emperor and the queen since childhood, and even his name was different from everyone else.

The fourth prince also sighed and said, "The eldest brother has a special status and cannot go to the border. The third brother is in poor health and cannot go to the border. I am ashamed. I am afraid to go to the border because I am timid. The eighth brother must take good care of himself outside. The emperor is waiting for you to return triumphantly and have a drink together."

As he was talking, he heard Qingzhong spread the word outside that the eldest princess was coming.

Nangong Yunqi and the eldest princess Nangong Yutong are brothers and sisters. The queen has been in poor health after giving birth to the eldest princess Nangong Yutong. Nangong Chengqian was not born by the queen, but was the first male born in the Nangong family. After Nangong Yunqi disappeared, Nangong Chengqian has been working diligently to help the emperor solve his problems, and finally he was granted the title of crown prince from the eldest prince.

Many people in the court are Nangong Chengqian's confidants. In more than ten years, Nangong Chengqian has won many people's hearts.

This is also why Nangong Yunqi still couldn't speak and was targeted everywhere after returning to the palace. Even the emperor and the queen could do nothing.

Although the emperor and the queen love Nangong Yunqi very much, the Tianyuan Kingdom has always established a new emperor based on its strength, not to mention that Nangong Chengqian has adopted it under the queen's knees.

With Nangong Yutong's arrival, not only Nangong Yunqi stood up, but also other princes in the house stood up.

Nangong Yutong was wearing a gorgeous palace outfit, and she looked elegant and luxurious. Her phoenix eyes glanced at the people in the house and said, "Sit down. Today I am here to see Lao Ba leave. Everyone doesn't have to be so reserved. But I have to discuss something else with Lao Ba, so you can do whatever you want."

When Nangong Yunqi heard that Nangong Yutong was looking for him, he left the house with Nangong Yutong.

The two siblings walked slowly in the back garden. On the way, they had a tacit understanding and no one spoke until they went to the top floor of the warmer pavilion and sat down.
