When Da Qiyou went to Yamen, Yan Junqi stayed at the Ministry of Household Affairs for a while. When he returned to the Hanlin Academy, his colleagues had almost left.

Today, they have finished copying the documents, and they have no work for the time being. They don't know what to write, but He Songzhi is still copying the books diligently——

He borrowed them from the library. When he found out which ones were worn out, he copied them again. Some of the original copies were not worth printing new and were not valuable. Over time, the quality gradually deteriorated. In the past, Grand Master He often borrowed them when he was young. When you take a book like this, return it together when you finish copying it, and sometimes replace the old one with a new one.

He Songzhi had seen it at Taishi He's place. He had nothing to do today, so he went to borrow it.

After Yan Junqi heard about it, he asked, "Can I borrow books from the library and take them home?"

He Songzhi: "It doesn't matter if it's a rare book, but you can only borrow one at a time."

Yan Junqi was about to borrow it, but when he looked at the time, he thought, forget it, let's find time tomorrow.

He was going home, and He Songzhi wanted to stay a little longer.

He won't go home until it gets dark.

Yan Junqi said goodbye to him, took the clothes he had received today and the regular clothes he had changed into, and went home to the Yamen.

Just after he came out of the imperial city, Yan Junqi saw Lu Xu standing opposite the gate waiting for him.

Just like when he came out of the county academy, Lu Xu always came to pick him up with various snacks and snacks.

Yan Junqi raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards Lu Xu faster.

Lu Xu: "Are you hungry? I brought you mung bean cake. I found a snack shop today and it tastes good."

Yan Junqi took out a piece from the bag and saw that there were courtiers and other people's sedans and servants nearby. They looked at them and did not eat immediately. "Come on, let's go back."

Lu Xu later realized that others were looking at them. He hugged the paper bag with an "Oh" and walked away with Yan Junqi. After turning into an alley, he asked, "Is it not allowed to eat there?"

You are not allowed to eat casually in the Imperial City. There are only a few designated places where you can rest, eat and drink. There is no such rule outside the Imperial City, but eating at the gate of the city seems a bit high-profile.

Yan Junqi nodded, and while eating, he talked to Lu Xu about the lunch at the Hanlin Academy, and what He Songzhi told him about what he could and could not bring with him for lunch.

After hearing this, Lu Xu could only sigh with emotion: "There are so many things!"

Even if you are an official, you are not allowed to have a full meal. This is a bad official...

Forget about the hard work, let’s take it in front of you first.

"Then I'll help you prepare some food tomorrow."

"Um."

"Do you have water to drink?"

"have."

"Can you bring your own tea?"

"Okay, just what our family usually drinks will be fine."

"Okay." Lu Xu doesn't like drinking tea very much. The tea at home is picked by Yan Junqi. It's not expensive, tastes good, and is cost-effective.
