Chapter 261 Little Mouth
Chapter 261 Little Mouth
"I don't know." Shitou poked the fish in the bowl. "When I went there, the girl had already left with her uncle. I didn't see her."
Shang Wan: "You know his last name, right?"
"My last name is Luo." Shitou dipped his finger in water and wrote this word on the table.
Everyone stretched their heads over to look.
Xiao Huan curled her lips: "It's impossible to find someone just knowing their last name."
There are many families with the surname Luo in the city.
Shitou wondered: "Why are you looking for someone?"
He hasn't even met that girl, so they have no relationship at all.
Everyone: Of course we are curious, why else?
"I shouldn't have stopped you if I had known." Shang Wan felt a little regretful. If she hadn't stopped Shitou at the door, Shitou might have seen the girl.
Shitou is already seventeen, it's time for him to think about starting a family. The girl introduced by Dean Luo should not be bad, it's a pity to miss her.
"It won't be too late to get married after Shitou passes the imperial examination." Lu Chengjing comforted Shang Wan. They were going to the capital, and they couldn't take the girl with them.
"That's right." Shang Wan clicked his tongue and decided to just assume that Shi Tou and that girl were not destined to be together.
"Since you don't want to find that girl, then what are you worried about?" Xiaohuan asked while looking at Shi Tou.
Shitou sighed, "I don't want to get married yet, but I'm already old enough to get married, what should I do?"
He hadn't thought about this matter at all until the dean wanted to find a match for him. He was extremely worried at the thought of getting married and having children.
Do I have to marry a wife?
Everyone: "..."
Are you afraid that someone will force you to get married?
Shang Wan put another piece of fish meat into the stone bowl with chopsticks and said caringly: "Come, eat some fish meat to nourish your brain."
Shitou looked at his sister. Was his sister saying that he was stupid?
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married." Lu Chengjing didn't expect Shitou to worry about this, and said gently, "Your sister and I won't rush you."
"Really?" Shitou perked up and stared at his brother-in-law.
"Of course." Lu Chengjing nodded. After getting married, one has to take responsibility for the entire family. If Shi Tou herself is unwilling, why bother hurting the girl?
After getting Lu Chengjing's assurance, Shitou no longer had a sad face and was in a mood to have dinner.
Three days later, the county magistrate was forced into a corner by his wife and had to stamp his seal on the document in frustration.
"It's done." Mrs. Sun picked up the document and walked out.
The county magistrate asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"
"Go play cards with your sisters." Madam Sun waved her hand, "You can have dinner by yourself tonight, you don't have to wait for me."
The county magistrate who was thrown away after being used: "..."
What the hell is this!
At the same time, in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Shang Wan lowered his eyes and stared at Chu Xu, wondering where this kid came from.
Chu Xu put her hands behind her back and grinned at Shang Wan, "Aunt Shang, I'm here to pick you up to go to the capital."
The child has grown taller than when I left, and his face is not as round as before, but he looks very energetic.
Shang Wan looked behind him and asked, "Are you here alone?"
"No, Uncle Shi brought me here. My brother told him to go to the city to find someone, and he will come back after he finds the person."
Chu Xu grabbed Shang Wan's hand and shook it, "Aunt Shang, I know Uncle Lu knows Li Yuan. I've already told my father and brother that I want to go to the capital with you."
As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and took out two silver notes of five hundred taels and put them in Shang Wan's hand, "Auntie Shang, this is my living expenses, please keep it."
Shang Wan: “…”
Did she agree?
Apparently the child assumed that she would not refuse, and after taking out the banknote, he began to look around, "Where's Yuanyuan?"
"She's walking her turtle at home." Shang Wan accepted the banknote for the time being. After all, things in the store had been arranged, so it didn't matter whether she was in the store or not. He simply took Chu Xu home.
Chu Xu's little mouth never stopped chattering along the way.
"Aunt Shang, my mother is using the Jade Cream from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. She likes it very much and wants to meet you."
"I learned how to use a spear. My father and brother both praised me."
"That Zhong guy sent his father to jail. I heard it was for treason. The emperor let Zhong inherit the title. He is now a marquis and is very popular in front of the emperor."
"The Wang family's plan failed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not choose Wang's daughter as the Crown Princess."
"The Lu family you hate was robbed. Mr. Lu was stabbed by the thief. He was still recovering in bed when I left. Mrs. Lu was frightened and fell seriously ill. I heard she is not doing well."
"Their second son was clamoring to split the family business, but it hadn't been split when I left the capital."
"Auntie Shang, I've grown taller."
"Is Aunt Xiaohuan home? I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs she makes."
"Is Uncle Shitou good at studying? Will the teacher scold him?"
The child was a little excited, jumping and skipping as he walked. He said whatever he thought of, and his words were very secret. Shang Wan could only listen.
Many of the things were mentioned by the child in the letter, but now that he was in person, he explained them in more detail.
One spoke and the other listened, and the two of them returned home.
Chu Xu turned his head and looked around. He was not looking at the house, he was looking for Yuanyuan.
When Yuanyuan heard her mother's voice, she poked her little head out from the big tree beside the courtyard wall and called out sweetly, "Mom."
The little turtle shook its neck left and right on her head, as if it was also greeting the people under the tree.
Shang Wan looked up at the kid in the tree. How did the turtle get up the tree?
"Yuanyuan!" Chu Xu saw the familiar little face and immediately jumped up and waved his hand, "I'm here to find you!"
Yuanyuan could now see Xu clearly and her eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing that Yuanyuan ignored him, Chu Xu thought that Yuanyuan didn't remember him, and hurriedly said, "Yuanyuan, I am Brother Anian."
Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Chu Xu who was jumping around for a while before she curved her eyes and called out with a smile, "Brother!"
"Yeah." Chu Xu responded happily and climbed up holding the tree trunk.
He went to look for Yuanyuan.
Shang Wan had been worried that the two children would become estranged after not seeing each other for a year, but now it seems that she was overthinking.
She jumped onto the tree on tiptoe and pulled the two kids down together.
Yuanyuan flapped her short arms and pointed at Shang Wan's belly and introduced her to Chu Xu, "Sister."
Chu Xu: “?”
Yuanyuan continued to point: "Beautiful, sister."
Chu Xu stared at Shang Wan's belly, and after Yuan Yuan's repeated introduction, he finally understood that his aunt Shang was pregnant.
Shang Wan pinched her round little face helplessly, "Yes, yes, everyone knows that you are going to have a sister."
You really don’t need to tell everyone.
Although she didn't know whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl, but since Guaizi said it was a girl, then it must be a girl.
Yuanyuan grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth.
"Anian!" Xiaohuan came in from the front door carrying a basket of vegetables. She saw the child standing next to Shang Wan and walked over in surprise. "When did you come?"
"Aunt Xiaohuan." Chu Xu happily ran over and hugged Xiaohuan, "I missed you so much."
"Good boy." Xiao Huan picked up the child and asked with a smile, "Do you miss me or do you want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs I made?"
Chu Xu rolled his eyes, "I want both!"
Young Master Chu doesn't make a choice.
"You're just sweet-talking." Xiao Huan smiled and scratched the child's nose. "I just bought some spare ribs. I'll make them for you later."
