After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

After ten days of sailing, they reached the border of Mingzhou.

Gongyang Xun went from wanting to disappear into the ground to gradually becoming numb.

Now, when Yuan Yuan bathes him, he will even raise his hand in cooperation.

After disembarking, the group rented a carriage and headed to the capital.

It still features a luxurious two-story, four-horse configuration.

Gongyang Xun doesn't take the initiative to talk to people. The person he usually interacts with the most is Yuan Yuan. His impression of the other three is limited to knowing their names.

The carriage ride was bumpy, and even with thick cushions underneath, it was still quite uncomfortable.

But Gongyang Xun didn't say anything and quietly read his book.

Wang Yi and Wu Xiaogou are particularly mischievous, and they even tried to drag Jiang Xiao into their antics.

In the past, Jiang Xiao would definitely have joined in the commotion.

But things are different now!

Jiang Xiao glanced at Lin Siheng secretly, then whispered a warning to the two of them not to make a scene.

Lin Siheng had to keep watch at night, and when he traveled during the day, he slept in piles of miscellaneous items.

Jiang Xiao felt that he worked particularly hard, and every time she saved food for him, she would save the best meat for him.

Wang Yi and Wu Xiaogou are so greedy, even pretending to be pitiful won't work.

When passing through Duanjiashan, they encountered several bandits.

When Lin Siheng was woken up, he was extremely annoyed and beat the bandits so badly that they ran away with their tails between their legs.

Wang Yi was so infatuated with Lin Siheng that he cried and begged to become his disciple.

Lin Siheng was startled. "I haven't even graduated from my apprenticeship yet."

Wang Yi said incredulously, "You're so skilled, and you haven't even finished your apprenticeship yet?"

Although I hate to admit it, it's true.

Lin Siheng nodded heavily. He needed to cultivate Qi Guan Chang Hong to the sixth level before he could be considered a barely qualified apprentice.

And now, it's barely at the fifth level, which is quite questionable.

Although he couldn't take Wang Yi as his apprentice, he offered him a good place: "There's a Golden Guard reserve camp in the capital. I'll pay your tuition, and you can go there to study."

Upon hearing this, Wang asked, "I'm so old now, can I still learn?"

"Not only can you learn, but if you learn well and pass the exam, you can even join the Golden Guard."

"Still, you can become an official?" Wang Yi pointed at himself. "A petty thug like me, has the chance to become an official?"

Lin Siheng yawned. "I'll introduce you later. Now shut up and be quiet."

Jiang Xiao quickly pulled Wang Yi aside, "Shut up."

Wang Yi sighed, "Boss, you've forgotten your brothers now that you have a man."

Jiang Xiao quickly covered his mouth, "If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be eating meat today!"

Wang Yi: I've already behaved myself, please let me go.

-----------------

Lin Siheng carried Gongyang Xun on his back and led a group of people home, only to find that the whole family had moved to another courtyard, with only a few servants left to look after the house.

This made Lin Siheng extremely happy.

When the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme!

This must be a night of revelry, right?

Before he could even get cocky, his stepfather brought men over and took him to another courtyard.

The servants in the house were very clever; as soon as they saw their young master return, they quickly went to the other courtyard to inform him.

Shen Qingheng was also seeing her son make so many friends for the first time, so she had the chef prepare a large table of dishes to welcome them.

At the dinner table, apart from Gongyang Xun who was as usual, the other four were all very well-behaved.

Before, they would fight for a chicken leg in the carriage, but now they're all like quails, hesitant to even pick up their chopsticks.

Lin Siheng picked up a chicken leg and put it into the little liar's bowl. "Eat up, are you waiting for me to feed you?"

"Is the food not to your liking?" Shen Qingheng was also worried that she might have not been hospitable enough and made her son's friend uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiao quickly said, "It's delicious!"

Ye Qingyu said, "Strange, why isn't there any new rain?"

A servant replied, "Young Master Xinyu is still practicing calligraphy."

"Tell the kitchen to make one and send it to Xinyu," Shen Qingheng said. "This child, when she gets serious, she doesn't even eat."

Ye Qingyu said, "Our Xinyu will definitely be like the third brother in the future, and will come back as the top scholar in the imperial examination."

Shen Qingheng said, "Zhishan is also preparing for the exam this year. Maybe our family will have three top scholars in the future."

Lin Siheng felt a pang of sadness, thinking that when he used to play outside, no one at home would remember whether he had eaten or not, and he had to sneak into the kitchen to find something to eat.

My younger brother is getting better treatment now.

The ram asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering who I'll sleep with tonight."

Gongyang nearly choked to death on a sip of water, coughing.

Because there were other parents at the table, he couldn't scold him. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Siheng's considerations were reasonable and well-founded. Gongyang Xun certainly couldn't live alone, and he didn't want strangers to serve him.

First of all, Jiang Xiao definitely won't do!

Wang Yi and Wu Xiaogou are both careless, and Gongyang Xun is even less willing.

Although Yuan Yuan had always taken care of him, Yuan Yuan was a boy, and no one used to say anything about it on the street. Now, his stepfather was the most particular about these things, like how to be on guard against things.

After much thought, I realized I had no choice but to compromise myself.

Lin Siheng sighed; life is tough.

"I really envy you," Lin Siheng said, "having such a good godfather like me."

Gongyang Xun was too lazy to pay him any attention.

Shen Qingheng coughed and glared at her son. This brat, always talking nonsense.

Lin Siheng slightly restrained himself.

Ye Qingyu and Shen Qingheng noticed that the children were uncomfortable, so they left after they finished eating.

The parents had all left, but the group of people remained timid and hesitant.

After Lin Siheng called all the servants out, they began to pick up their bowls and show them off.

"Waaah, I can't even imagine what kind of heavenly life you lived at home, my benefactor."

"Delicious, delicious, delicious!"

"I've never eaten such a lavish meal before; it feels like my last meal before I die."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Siheng said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Jiang Xiao's cheeks were bulging out, making her look like a little hamster.

As he chewed, he seemed quite worried, "Wouldn't it be bad if we all finished eating?"

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Siheng said. "I won't let you go hungry anymore. Don't overeat, or I'll have to go to the clinic to get you some digestive tea."

Jiang Xiao's eyes sparkled. "Young Master Lin, you're so kind."

Lin Siheng introduced himself again, "My name is Lin Siheng."

Seeing this, Gongyang Xun said, "Siheng, go and get me a bowl of rice."

Lin Siheng retorted angrily, "Don't you have hands?"

Gongyang Xun: "Adoptive father".

Lin Siheng: "...Okay."

Seeing that Lin Siheng had actually helped Gongyang find a bowl of rice, Jiang Xiao blinked, holding his empty bowl, and timidly handed over his own bowl as well, "Siheng..."

Lin Siheng asked, "How much more do you need?"

Jiang smiled and said, "A small bowl."

He stared longingly at Lin Siheng until the other handed him the bowl.

Before Wang Yi and Wu Xiaogou could even pick up their bowls, Lin Siheng placed the rice steamer directly in front of them.

Gongyang Xun looked at Lin Siheng meaningfully.

Lin Siheng rolled her eyes. "What are you looking at?"

Gongyang Xun's gaze fell on Jiang Xiao, who was earnestly showing off her food, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
