Nowadays, it is very common for students to stay with wealthy families in Kyoto before taking the imperial examination.

This is a mutually beneficial thing. When they become officials in high school in the future, they will also cultivate relationships for themselves.

As long as they have real evidence, high-ranking families are more than welcome to join them.

Although Lu Qinghan did not join the Hou Mansion, it was logical for him to live here because of his close friendship with Li Diyao.

Lu Qinghan bowed slightly and said, "Miss Li, please forgive me if I intrude too much in the future."

"Mr. Lu, please don't be polite. You should study here in peace. I blame you for disturbing you." Li Yingning quickly said in the gentlest tone.

If she remembers correctly, in the spring of next year, this young man with an elegant name will be selected as the top student in high school, enter the Hanlin Academy, and then be selected as a scholar. He will be promoted all the way to the top, and will be deeply trusted and reused by Gu Changyuan.

There is no doubt that in the future, he will be the chief minister of the cabinet and the great devil of the court.

How can you offend such a person?

Not only must we not offend, we must also win over them well.

There were foreign guests, so Li Yingning did not have lunch with her two brothers.

She was in the house, having dinner with the two maids, while her brothers were having wine with Lu Qinghan in the front yard.

Ying Ning's reaction was so intense that she couldn't smell the smell of oil. She only ate a little vegetable melon soup and half a bowl of rice before putting down her chopsticks.

"The girl eats too little." Zhelan was worried. "In the past few days, you have lost weight again. How can your body bear it if this continues? Whatever the girl wants to eat, I will make it."

"I don't want to eat anything."

Yingning leaned back in the lounge chair.

Jinshu and Zhelan were both worried and couldn't eat.

When the eldest brother and the second brother came to see her after dinner, they both sighed when they saw how little she had eaten.

"Sister, we should go back later."

Li Fucheng is a royal guard and has an errand.

Li Diyao was studying with the great Confucian scholar to prepare for the imperial examination, and it was impossible for his family to allow him to wander outside.

Although I'm reluctant to leave, I still have to leave.

"We will come to see you in two days." Li Fucheng touched his sister's soft hair, "Take good care of it and don't worry about anything. You have a father and brothers at home. No matter what happens, the family will support you.

"

"Thank you, eldest brother, second brother."

Ying Ning hugged them respectively and watched them go out.

After her brothers left, Li Yingning lay in the quiet bamboo house, watching the sun slowly set towards the west, the shadows of the furniture being lengthened, and the sky slowly dimming.

Except for light and shadow, time seems to have stopped.

During dinner, Ying Ning was worrying about the food, and Jiu Jin, the boy in the front yard, reported back outside the curtain.

"Miss, that Mr. Lu Qinghan is here."

"Lu Qinghan?" Yingning said to Zhelan, "Go and see what's wrong with him."

After Zhelan went out, he saw Jiujin holding a small jar in his hand, and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"

"Master Lu, give me this and go back."

"Oh, give it to me then, you go and eat."

Zhelan took the jar and went back to the house, put it on the table, and said Jiu Jin's words again.

"open to take a look."

Ying Ning was also curious about what Lu Qinghan would send.

Zhelan opened the jar, got closer to smell it, and said in surprise: "Isn't this pickled vegetables?"

"It looks good. Pour some out." Jin Shu brought the plate.

Zhelan used chopsticks to take out some, and found that there were several kinds of vegetables inside, cut into small pieces, green and white, verdant and clean.

It is rare to be able to pickle vegetables so beautifully.

"Girl, do you want to try it?" Jin Shu asked tentatively.
