Only his good friends knew about this.
“Didn’t you say you would get some that fit? Stop wasting your money. If it doesn’t fit, I have to be the one fixing it.” His sister scolded him, but she still took the bag.
When he entered the house, his sister put the child to sleep in the rocking bed and helped him change the clothes in the bag. He then smiled and said, “Sis, if someone asks you in the future, you can still say that you’re my wife.”
His sister glared at him. “Then how are you going to get a wife in the future?!” “I’m here to study, not to marry a wife. When I’m almost done with my studies, I’ll go back. It won’t be too late for me to look for one in Pingan Town in the future.’
“Alright.” His sister nodded. “I’m bringing a child with me to follow you. People are always asking questions. This saves us both the trouble.”
After chatting with his sister for a while, Xiao Mochen went to the study room and wrote a letter to his good friend Xue Xue Yan, informing him that someone had already come to ask about it and that his good friend should pay more attention to his surroundings.
It was only when his errand boy came back from buying groceries that Xiao Mochen handed the sealed letter to his errand boy. “Go back and personally hand this letter to my good friend Xue Yan.”
“Yes, sir.” The errand boy immediately responded.
Ah San rode back to the capital city and reported to Marquis Ji what he had found out.
If she really was the sister of Mochen, Marquis Ji naturally wouldn’t have any more interest in this matter and immediately threw it to the back of his mind.
On the 12th of November, Xue Yan received a letter from his good friend Xiao Mochen. Xue Yan was not in a hurry to read the letter, but immediately asked his family to quickly cook some delicious food for Xiao Mochen’s errand boy first.
These few days, the errand boy had been on the road and had not had a good meal.
Then, he read the letter.
Jiang Yue only watched from the side.
Someone had really gone to check if Xiao Mochen was real and if they were telling the truth.
However, the more this was the case, the more it meant that the person who investigated them did not know that the person living in the small house behind their house was the current Empress.
Moreover, that person didn’t ask anything else about Xiao Mochen. As soon as he confirmed that she was Xiao Mochen’s sister, that person immediately left in a hurry. It was obvious that he had believed that it was Xiao Mochen’s sister.
Then, the Empress would not be suspected for now.
He let the errand boy stay for one night. The next day, the errand boy set off to go back.
Xue Yan prepared some things and asked the errand boy to bring them to Xiao Mochen. Naturally, he also wrote a reply to Xiao Mochen. Liu Guixia saw that the errand boy was driving a carriage and could bring a lot of things, so she stuffed a lot of things into his hands, such as rice noodles, sweet potato vermicelli, and peanuts grown in their fields… At that point, the carriage was almost filled to the brim.
It was not until the errand boy left that Liu Guixia and the others hurriedly brought their two precious children into the house. It was cloudy and the weather was turning cold.
In this weather, it was not good to go to the workshop to make rice noodles. Xue Dafu went to the old house and picked some corn. Then, he sat on the brick bed and began to peel the corn off the corn cobs.
Usually, the corn of each family was peeled when they were free.
After peeling it, the corn could be ground into powder. In the future, it could be used to make cornbread or tortillas.
Liu Guixia, Xue Erfu, Yu Hongyan, Li Hehua, and the others were also sitting on the brick bed to help peel the corn.
Except for the few small houses at the back, all the brick beds in the front houses were connected to the stove in the kitchen. They had cooked for a long time in the morning, and the stove was still burning. Therefore, the brick beds were all warm.
They sat on the brick bed to keep warm.
Of course, there were also jokes being thrown around..
