After listening to Dongfang Bai's explanation, Lin Xianyu finally understood a little, because the general magistrate, whether it is the county or the prefect, anyway, the magistrates are all with their wives and children, just like Lord Xie, the county guard of Jingyang City.

Anyway, his wife and children are all around, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back to his hometown for the New Year, and generally ancient men got married early, and those who could be released as officials were generally married, so they all dragged their families to take office.

So it's okay not to go home for the New Year, just wait until the triennial assessment to go back to your hometown.

But Jianghuai County is a little special, the three young magistrates are not married, but alone, so Lin Xianyu feels very lonely during the New Year in office.

"I understand when you say that. A single man like you and your brother who became a county magistrate at a young age is an outlier. ”

Lin Xianyu couldn't help but smile and said.

"Besides, if it weren't for your refusal to come over early, how could I have no lady, and how could I need to be alone in Lihe County for the New Year?"

Dongfang Bai said with a hint of grievance: "Nothing else, it's just that when you go home for the New Year, it will be at least more than a month to come and go, and I will miss you very much." ”

"I'll try to come back as soon as possible." Lin Xianyu replied with a smile.

"By the way, I almost forgot, did you worship another master?" Lin Xianyu suddenly remembered what the master said before, the heir of the military family, Sun Lao, accepted Dongfang Bai as an apprentice.

"How do you know, I was about to tell you this?"

Dongfang Bai was originally a little strange, but he quickly reacted: "Did Master Li tell you?" ”

"Yes, it was Master who told me, but Master also said that Elder Sun is not allowed to spread the word at will."

"You're going to tell me because I asked, right?"

Lin Xianyu asked with a hint of disgust.

"No, although Master Sun said that he can't spread it at will, he said that if I want to tell outsiders, I must first get his approval."

"I didn't say it before, because I sent a letter to Master Sun, and he hasn't replied to me yet."

"Now that you've written back to me, I'm going to talk to you about it this time."

"Don't be mad at me."

Dongfang Bai looked at Lin Xianyu and seemed to be a little angry, and hurriedly explained.

"Poof, I'm kidding you."

Lin Xianyu looked at Dongfang Bai's somewhat anxious appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, I know, and Sun Lao and my master are considered a family." ”

Only then did Lin Xianyu tell Dongfang Bai about the Six Immortals of Peach Valley.

"It turns out that Master Sun and Master Li still have such a relationship. So can I go to Peach Valley? ”

After Dongfang Bai listened, he said with interest.

"Naturally, I have already obtained Master's consent, in fact, if Elder Sun is here, he should take you there personally."

Lin Xianyu said with a smile: "But speaking of which, can you become an invincible general after learning this art of war?" ”

"What is the Invincible General? I remember that the crickets raised by the eldest prince when he was a child were called this. ”

Dongfang Bai couldn't help but glared at Lin Xianyu.

"And in this art of war, you always have to fight to know how you learned, talk about soldiers on paper, isn't it Zhao Kuo?"

Dongfang Bai looked at Lin Xianyu seriously: "But I really hope that my skills don't need to be used." ”
