【1】 Returning near the camp, Liang Qing and the others had already prepared dinner and invited the two to sit down, but Qin Yutong excused herself, saying she had already eaten, and quietly walked away. Although they hadn't spent much time together, the guards could see she was aloof and unsociable, yet no one would genuinely pay attention to a strange guard.

The guards also saw that she was aloof and unsociable; but no one would genuinely pay attention to a strange guard.

Hu Xiaotian gets along well; he is cheerful and optimistic, often jokes, has no pretentious official airs, and gets along with these guards. Although their main duty is to escort the Shajia envoy, they have little interaction with the envoy. Moreover, the Shajia people have a history of repeatedly disturbing Dakang's borders, so most Dakang people hold little goodwill toward them, still viewing them as barbaric and uncivilized. Unless ordered from above, no one would come to protect these people. As for Prince Zhou's exalted status, no one dares to approach him lightly. By comparison, Hu Xiaotian, the magistrate of Qingyun Xian and future son-in-law of the Duke of Xichuan, is more popular.

Hu Xiaotian's relations are quite good; he himself is open-minded and optimistic, usually likes to joke, has no official airs, and gets along well with these guards. Although the guards' main duty is to escort the Shajia envoy, they have little contact with the Shajia envoy; moreover, the Shajia people have a history of repeatedly harassing Dakang's borders, so most Dakang people hold little goodwill toward them, still seeing them as barbaric and uncivilized; without orders from above, no one would come to protect these people. As for the Prince Zhou, his status is exalted, so no one dares to approach him lightly. Compared to that, Hu Xiaotian, as the magistrate of Qingyun Xian and future son-in-law of the Duke of Xichuan, is more popular.

【2】 Hu Xiaotian gets along well with everyone; he is open‑minded and optimistic, likes to joke, puts on no official airs, and mixes easily with these guards. Although their main task is to escort the Shajia envoy, they have little contact with the envoy; besides, the Shajia people have a history of repeatedly harassing Dakang's borders, so most Dakang people hold little goodwill toward them, still seeing them as barbaric and uncivilized. Without an order from above, nobody would come to protect these people. As for Prince Zhou, his exalted status keeps everyone at a distance. Compared with that, Hu Xiaotian, the magistrate of Qingyun Xian and future son‑in‑law of the Duke of Xichuan, is more popular.

Drinking alcohol is inevitable, but everyone also knows they have important duties, so they exercise moderation in drinking—just enough to liven things up; no one dares to drink to excess.

Translation: Alcohol is certainly to be drunk, but everyone knows they have important duties, so they drink in moderation—just enough to liven the mood; nobody dares to drink to excess.

Liang Qing and Xu Heng took turns toasting Hu Xiaotian, but he only took a sip each time; on this journey we still need to be careful, and keeping a clear mind is extremely important.

Translation: Liang Qing and Xu Heng took turns toasting Hu Xiaotian, but he only took a sip each time; on this journey he must stay careful, and keeping a clear mind is crucial.

Liang Qing had two more drinks, speaking noticeably more than usual, he said puzzledly, 'Sir Hu, why did you come to this remote little county of Qingyun to serve as an official? This place can't compare to the prosperity of the capital.' Indeed, many people felt puzzled given Hu Xiaotian's background. Staying in the capital to obtain a minor post would certainly not be difficult, and even if he were posted elsewhere, with his future father-in-law, the Duke of Xichuan Li Tianheng, he should be in a major city of Xichuan; in their eyes, Qingyun is a poor backwater, and serving as an official there is no different from suffering punishment.

Liang Qing drank two more cups, his talk noticeably more than usual, he said puzzled: "Sir Hu, why did you come to this remote little county of Qingyun to take office? How could this compare to the prosperity of the capital?" Actually many people felt puzzled given Hu Xiaotian's background. Staying in the capital to obtain a petty post would certainly not be difficult; even if he went out for an official post, with the influence of his future father‑in‑law, the Duke of Xichuan Li Tianheng, he should be in a major city of Xichuan; in their eyes Qingyun is a poor backwater, and serving here is no different from suffering punishment.

Sir Hu, this remote small county of Qingyun, the capital, the major city of Xichuan, a poor backwater, suffering punishment.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, 'I'm used to eating fish and meat, but occasionally having some vegetables and plain porridge also feels tasty. Although Qingyun doesn't match the prosperity of big cities like Kangdu, its mountains are clear and waters clean. Outstanding people and spirited land; the local customs are simple and unpretentious, without the bustle and extravagance of big cities. Although I haven't been here long, I feel my spirit has been purified and elevated.'

Translation: Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I'm used to feasting on fish and meat, but occasionally eating plain vegetables and congee also feels tasty. Although Qingyun can't match the prosperity of big cities like Kangdu, its mountains are clear and waters clean, its people outstanding and spirited; the local customs are simple and unpretentious, without the bustle and frivolity of big cities. Though I haven't been here long, I feel my spirit has been purified and elevated."

Though I haven't been here long, I feel my spirit has been purified and elevated."

Liang Qing and Xu Heng certainly didn't understand what spiritual elevation meant; they glanced at each other and laughed. Xu Heng said, 'Sir Hu's vision is far beyond what us ordinary people can compare; no wonder my young lady has rejected so many suitors, yet she alone likes Sir Hu.'

Translation: Liang Qing and Xu Heng naturally didn't understand what "spiritual elevation" meant; they glanced at each other and laughed. Xu Heng said: "Sir Hu's vision is far beyond what ordinary folks like us can compare to; no wonder our young lady has turned down so many suitors, yet she alone favors Sir Hu."

Xu Heng said: "Sir Hu's vision is far beyond what ordinary folks like us can compare to; no wonder our young lady has turned down so many suitors, yet she alone favors Sir Hu."

Hu Xiaotian couldn't stand hearing that, 'What the heck, am I marrying into your family's young lady or just reaching above my station?' If we say Li Tianheng and my father are of equal official rank, then the two families are well matched; although Li Tianheng commands heavy troops and holds power over one side, my father is also Dakang's God of Wealth, a real power figure controlling Dakang's economic lifeline. I used to be an idiot, but now I'm completely a normal person; though I'm not saying I'm handsome and suave, I can be called sunny and warm. In personal conditions, I'm clearly the one who has settled down.

Hu Xiaotian didn't take those words to heart, thinking: "How dare I be considered a match for your young lady, or even be marrying up?" If we say Li Tianheng and my father hold equivalent official ranks, the two families are socially matched; although Li Tianheng commands heavy troops and wields power over one side, my father is also the God of Wealth of Dakang, a real power holder controlling Dakang's economic lifeline. Although I used to be an idiot, I am now completely normal; my looks may not be handsome and suave, but I can be called sunny and warm; objectively speaking, I am the one who has lowered my standards.

In fact, Hu Xiaotian once had the thought of fleeing the marriage, but that idea faded day by day after he arrived in Qingyun. He gradually realized that there is no essential difference between his present era and the past. Money and power remain indispensable; the idyllic life of detachment from worldly strife he originally wanted exists only in fantasy, unless you are willing to live in poverty, unless you are willing to live far from human society, cut off from the world. As long as you survive in real society, you cannot avoid facing the deceitful power struggles, nor the myriad facets of worldly warmth and coldness. Moreover, Hu Xiaotian is not someone lacking responsibility; as he accepts his identity, he also begins to accept his parents' family—if he were to run away, what would become of his father? What would become of the Hu family?

As long as one survives in the real world, one must face the scheming power struggles and all kinds of social coldness. Moreover, Hu Xiaotian is not someone without responsibility; accepting his identity also means accepting his parents' family—if he were to run away, what would become of his father?

Hu Xiaotian hadn't forgotten Xi Yan in the prison cart; he brought her a drumstick and a large flatbread. Lifting the cart's curtain, in the darkness he saw two points of glowing light—Xi Yan's angry gaze. She had never suffered such a setback in her life, being captured by a worthless playboy who knows no martial arts, and to add insult to injury, Hu Xiaotian publicly slapped her. The pain on her face has long faded, but her heart retains an unfillable pit of hatred.

Let's break down:

Interpretation: Hu Xiaotian guessed she was probably up to some scheming again, and with a smirk said, "I'll feed you!" He shoved the drumstick to her lips; Xi Yan glared at him fiercely, then, with the same fierce posture, took a bite of the drumstick—she wasn't going to let it go to waste. Hu Xiaotian, though a scoundrel, wasn't wrong in his words: why should she deny her stomach? Only when full would she have the strength to deal with this brat. With that thought, Xi Yan's mood and appetite improved together; she ate with relish, and having food brought to her mouth wasn't bad at all. She finished the drumstick and flatbread Hu Xiaotian brought, clean and clean, and even said she wanted more. Hu Xiaotian was surprised to discover this girl was also a big eater, her appetite unusual, so he went and got her another flatbread rolled with some rabbit meat, but when he brought it to her, she said she was already full.
