Chapter 544. Trivia
The content of the letter was within Shen Xingluo's expectations.

Shen Mantun wrote about many major events that happened in the village, such as the bumper harvest of corn and potatoes, which not only made every household a lot of money from them, but also the fact that even the prefect issued rewards and wrote a name for the Shen family ancestral hall.

Shen Qingsong explained the books he had read recently. Many young children in the village followed their teacher to learn to read, so he planned to give it a try and did not fall behind in his studies.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Yes, Aunt Cuihua has two granddaughters, and Uncle Mantun also has a grandson."

"Really? That's good to celebrate."

Cheng Xi didn't expect Shenjia Village to be so lively. Just as he was about to happily prepare a gift, he was pulled into Shen Xingluo's arms.

"What? In broad daylight."

Shen Xingluo chuckled, "Madam, do you mean it's okay in the evening?"

"When did you become so good at flirting? Did you secretly get someone to train you?"

Cheng Xi's pretty face turned red, and she pinched Shen Xingluo's face with both hands and pulled it away.

Shen Xingluo grabbed her restless hand, lowered his head and pressed it against hers, tossing and turning until both of them were breathing rapidly and their panting became increasingly muffled in the room, and then he let go of the person in his arms.

"With your training, why would we need anyone else?"

"Don't accuse me wrongly."

Cheng Xi didn't want to take the blame, and glared at him with tearful eyes, but unexpectedly she was met with another fierce attack.

It was a rare time when the two of them had nothing to do, so they could spend time together. Shen Xingluo held her tightly in his arms and was reluctant to let her go. After a long time, he let her go and pecked her forehead lightly.

"After the New Year, I will be sent out."

"Didn't you say next summer?"

Cheng Xi knew something had changed when he mentioned this again, "What happened again?"

"The situation in the capital is tense. Recently, the eldest prince and the third prince have been fighting fiercely. Many officials are involved. The emperor wants to keep some good officials."

"This is to pave the way for the next one." Being an emperor is not easy. Not only does he have to be on guard against his son, but he also has to worry about what will happen next.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Shen Xingluo hugged him tightly, "Su Zhan is back now, I have someone to do the work, you just stay at home and study medicine with your master."

"I know."

Su Zhan is really useful. His intelligence is far superior to that of ordinary people, and his skills have been quite good after being trained by them. It is just right for him to come back at this time.

It is easier to get things done when you have people under you, and Shen Xingluo is not alone. To outsiders, it seems that the Shen family has few close relationships with anyone, but in fact, they have a relatively wide network of contacts.

At least pulling one out will be a real help.

Cheng Xi was not worried about what was happening in the court. After learning that Fu Guang was going back to Shenjia Village, he asked Wangshu to prepare more things and take all aspects into consideration, and then revealed the news to Shen Xingqi.

"Brother is going to be sent out, next year?"

"To be precise, we have to leave after the New Year."

The little girl was just stunned for a moment, and soon accepted it, "I understand, sister-in-law, I will arrange my own affairs."

"If you're too busy, come to me."

"Uh-huh."

So in the following days, Cheng Xi felt that the little girl was even busier. She was either staying in her room to put on rouge and powder or going out to party with her friends, but she did not fall behind in training.

Quite sensible.

As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill. After several rains this autumn, the dark green leaves gradually turned yellow, fell with the autumn wind, settled into the dust and turned into spring mud.

Cheng Xi started digging a cellar in the yard to grow vegetables, and the capital city became bustling again.

It is said that the newly appointed eldest prince's wife and the concubine had a big fight, it is said that the third prince's uncle-in-law was suspected of embezzlement of a huge amount and involved a large number of people, it is said that a dam in the Jiangnan area burst and the people were displaced.
