Chapter 434 Return
The pot in front of them was so delicious that everyone took a break to continue chatting, eating the meat with big mouthfuls.
The uncles, aunts, and mothers-in-law in the kitchen were all eating with their mouths drooling. Zhou Mingshu left the table after he had eaten his fill. If there was a dish that was not enough, he would cut some more, making sure everyone was full and satisfied.
Those who had eaten first were almost full. Zhou Mingshu was slicing meat in the kitchen, and Zhou Mingqi came over holding Zhou Mingxiu.
"Sanya, I don't have hands, please help me get a bowl of vegetarian meatballs and I'll take it over. I see everyone has finished eating."
"Okay, here we come."
Before she finished, Zhou Minghua came over and took the bowl out considerately.
"Second sister, why did you leave the table so quickly today? Are you really full?" Zhou Mingshu raised his eyebrows.
"Haha, I'm really full. How could I lie to you? Just now when you two were talking over there, I covered my head and ate. I stuffed the mutton and venison in this pot into my mouth with big chopsticks. And I left the table later than you."
"Haha, do you feel hot?"
"Now that you mention it, it's true. I feel like sweating."
"That's right, this mutton and venison are both warming and nourishing. After eating them, your whole body will feel warm."
"This is great. We can cook something to eat every night, so we won't feel the bed is cold when we get home at night."
"Haha, this is a good idea. We still have a lot of mutton and venison at home."
After the girl in the kitchen finished her work, she boiled some water and made a fire. It didn't really matter if Zhou Mingxiu ate candy and played on the side.

When Qi Rui returned to the military defense camp, it was already early spring in February, and the willow branches by the river had turned green.
"Boil some hot water and take a bath first."
After Qi Rui said this, the people below hurried to make arrangements.
Chengfeng reported what had happened in recent days while helping to pack up books and valuables.
When Qi Rui arrived at the military defense camp, he went straight to the main tent, but was taken to a building a little further away by Chengfeng.
"Master, the snow is too heavy in winter, so I asked the brothers to move into the dormitory, and your big tent was also dismantled and moved over."
Qi Rui thought about the snowfalls in Kyoto. It was indeed heavy, but Chengzhou was so far away from Kyoto that he didn't expect it to snow heavily as well.
"No casualties, is everything okay?"
"Master, there are no casualties. Even the horses are fine. I heard from the groom a while ago that many mares are pregnant with foals. We can have a lot of foals this year."
Soldiers naturally love horses. Qi Rui laughed when he heard this. "That's good. How about Lianglin Village? Is everything okay?"
"Well, everything is fine. Miss Mingshu's restaurant opened last month, and business is still as good as ever. The brothers also sent a portion of the good prey they hunted in the mountains. The people in the Zhou family enjoyed the meal very much, and said that they would like to wish you a happy old age when you come."
"Haha, what do you mean by old age? Tell the people below to pack up quickly and wash up so that we can go to Old Zhou's house to announce the decree."
"Announce the decree?" Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted in a blink of an eye, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Chengfeng retreated, and Qi Rui loosened his belt and wrist guards.
I hurried along the way and finally got back here.
He sat in a chair, took two sips of hot tea, and looked around his bedroom carefully.
Compared with the previous tent, this one is cozier and warmer, with better lighting and ventilation.
His desk was placed in front of the window, and the orchids on it were still showing off their splendor.
OMG!
This orchid is still blooming?!
The other pot doesn't have many flowers, but the leaves are also very green.
What kind of orchid did Mingshu give him? !
It's been a winter, but it's still so bright, having survived such a cold winter.
He touched the orchid's petals, which were still very fresh and tender.
Just then his box was brought over and Rufeng was packing it up.
"Rufeng, take out the things I asked you to pack, and let's go to Mingshu to deliver them later."
"Okay, take it out right away."
Rufeng put the books on the bookshelf and then began to pack up the jewelry.
The master didn't bring much from Kyoto, just a few clothes and some books and gifts, so he was traveling light.
About half an hour later, Qi Rui couldn't help but urge him.
"Rufeng, are you ready? It's almost time for lunch. If we don't go now, it will be too late."
"It's almost time. Master, you haven't slept much all night. Why don't you go over in the afternoon? Eat something to fill your stomach and catch up on some sleep. Miss Mingshu will probably feel bad when she sees you looking so haggard."
After hearing Rufeng's words, Qi Rui became concerned.
"That's true, let's go in the afternoon. Remember to keep an eye on the time."
Ru Feng saw that he had been persuaded and nodded in approval.
Qi Rui took a hot bath and felt so comfortable that he fell asleep after his hair dried.
Rufeng also slowed down his packing speed. He had been traveling a lot recently, and his master and everyone else were very tired.
The other brothers also went to the back to catch up on their sleep, and after he put things in order he also wanted to have a good sleep.
"Brother Chengfeng, I have packed all my things. I really can't hold on any longer. Wait half an hour and you will call the master to get up. He wants to go find Miss Mingshu for something important."
"Okay, I understand. You should go and have some rest as well."
Chengfeng brought back a stack of books. After the master finished today's work, he had to take a closer look at the official documents and data from the past few months. There was still a lot of work to do later...
Moreover, it seems that the Fourth Young Master did not come with us this time, so the master has to handle everything alone.
When the time came, Chengfeng saw that his master had no intention of waking up. Although he felt distressed, he had no choice but to step forward and wake him up.
"Master, the time has come."
Qi Rui rubbed his eyes and turned over to relax.
Seeing that the master was unwilling to get up, Chengfeng tried to persuade him.
"Master, your health is the most important thing. You should wait until tomorrow to read the imperial edict. It's not an urgent matter anyway."
The more Cheng Feng persuaded him, the more sober Qi Rui became.
"I'd better go first. Have you packed everything?"
"Okay, Rufeng has prepared everything."
"That's good. Come with me and let them have a good rest."
Qi Rui slept for two hours and felt much more relaxed and energetic. Now he had changed into new clothes and looked very handsome.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he felt that he was very handsome.
"Chengfeng, this suit is pretty good, right?"
"Master, you look good in anything you wear, especially this one. Miss Mingshu will definitely like it when she sees it."
Qi Rui laughed out loud when he heard Cheng Feng say that. "I usually see you as quite honest, but I didn't expect you to be so slick now."
