The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

As soon as they left the noodle shop, Cheng Youning sighed, "Let's not come here too often in the future. When we go out again, remember to bring some money from home."

"Yes, young master, I'll think about it next time I go out."

"Then let's go buy some candy."

Arriving at the stall, Qiao Rong asked, "Young Master, do you want black or white oxhide candy?"

“Buy the black one.”

At this time, a little girl who also came to buy ox-hide candy turned around and said, "Brother."

Cheng Youning saw that it was Chen Zi'e, and her face suddenly became serious, "Sister Zi'e."

"Brother, are you here to buy some candy too?"

Cheng Youning, who didn't want to talk more, nodded.

Chen Zi'e looked at the little tiger she made for Cheng Youning on his waist, and her chubby face showed dimples. "Brother, let me take you to drink plum soup. There is a place that sells delicious plum soup."

"No need, just tell me which one it is."

Chen Zi'e pulled Cheng Youning, but Cheng Youning shook her off with her arms. Chen Zi'e's eyelids instantly turned red in embarrassment. Qiao Rong poked Cheng Youning's waist from behind, and Cheng Youning had no choice but to say, "Sister Zi'e, lead the way. I'll go with you."

Several women were drinking plum soup and chatting, when Han Nianxia suddenly pointed at the door and said, "Hey, cousin, whose daughter did your son kidnap?"

Shang Xi looked back and called out to the people who came in, "Cheng Youning, Zi'e, here."

Seeing Shang Xi, Chen Zi'e walked over confidently, but Cheng Youning looked unhappy.

"Zi'e meets Madam Chengguo."

Shang Xi pulled Chen Zi'e to sit down, and Cheng Youning also found a seat and sat down.

Shang Xi looked at Qiao Rong and Chen Zi'e's maid and said, "What are you two standing there for? Sit down and ask the shopkeeper to bring four more bowls of plum soup. The plum soup here is very authentic." Qiao Rong was the first to sit down, and Chen Zi'e's maid followed carefully.

Shang Xi took Chen Zi'e's hand and said, "Why are you two together?"

Chen Zi'e said, "Madam Hui Cheng, my brother and I met him in front of a stall selling ox-hide candy."

When she heard about the ox-stick candy, Han Nianxia stared at Qiao Rong's hand and said, "Give me some ox-stick candy. I want to see how the ox-stick candy in Mochun County tastes."

Qiao Rong had no choice but to open the candy in his hand and put it in the middle of the table. Han Nianxia picked up a piece of candy and took a bite. "Why don't you buy white candy? I like white ones."

Chen Zi'e glanced at her maid, and the maid had no choice but to open the white taffy they had bought and put it in the middle of the table.

Seeing this, Han Nianxia praised: "Whose family is this sensible little girl from?"

Shang Xi said, "This is my unmarried daughter-in-law, Chen Zi'e."

"Ah, your daughter-in-law, cousin, which daughter-in-law is this?"

"My son's legal wife." From the tone, it can be seen that Shang Xi likes Chen Zi'e more.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zi'e lowered her head and smiled shyly.

"This little girl looks cute, and she has dimples when she smiles. Although she is a few years older than Cheng Youning, a daughter-in-law who is a few years older will be more caring. Your Cheng Youning needs someone like this to take care of her in the future. I am satisfied with this marriage." The speaker was Yuhua.

Zhong Siyu also echoed, "She is gentle, quiet, sweet and lovely. Youning is so lucky to have such a lady from a noble family."

Regardless of whether the compliments were true or false, Shang Xi found them pleasing to the ear. She smiled and began to introduce Chen Zi'e, "Zi'e, the person who complimented you is Zhong Siyu, the daughter of the Left Secretary of the Great Lang State, and also the fiancée of Marquis Wan Xin. From now on, you and Cheng Youning must call her little grandma."

When Chen Zi'e heard that this person had such an important background, she immediately stood up and greeted Zhong Siyu.

Han Nianxia said as she ate: “The Chen family’s etiquette is acceptable.”

Shang Xi said: "This is your Aunt Nianxia."

"Hello, Aunt Nianxia."

"This is your Aunt Yuhua, our housekeeper."

"Hello, Aunt Yuhua."

"Little girl, please sit down. Let me ask you, do you study hard?" Yuhua is a straightforward person, and her words are also particularly straightforward.

Chen Zi'e was stunned at first, then said: "I read every day, but I only understand a little bit."

When Yuhua heard this, her face turned serious. "That's because the teacher is not good enough. If that's the case, you have to find a new private school teacher. I think Cheng Youning can be effective in studying. He knows more than me."

Chen Zi'e said: "My family didn't hire a private school teacher for me. It was my father who taught me all along."

Yuhua was very confused when she heard this, "That shouldn't be the case. County Magistrate Chen got his position by passing the imperial examination. He must be well-read, if not erudite. How can I teach you only a superficial understanding?"

Cheng Youning sighed, looked at his mother Shang Xi and said, "Mom, please hire a private tutor for Yuhua. She doesn't know anything."

"Cheng Youning, I'm doing this for your own good. If your wife is as talented as your mother, your life will be better." Yuhua said whatever she was thinking without hiding anything.

Cheng Youning said: "What people call half-knowledge is modesty. How can reading every day not produce results? You haven't read in vain. Yuhua, you just suffered from not reading enough."

Yuhua glared at him and said, "You little rascal, you still despise me. Have you forgotten how I took care of you with all my heart?" As she said that, Yuhua stood up and raised her hand as if to hit Cheng Youning on the head.

Chen Zi'e was frightened, but she still covered Cheng Youning's head with her little hand like an umbrella, "Aunt Yuhua, please calm down. My brother is still young, and I apologize for my words."

Yuhua sat back in the chair and said, "It was the little girl Chen Zi'e who saved you today. If you dislike me again, I will beat you up."

Han Nianxia said, "Come on, Yuhua, you're just yelling nonsense. I've never seen you really hit Cheng Youning."

Yuhua said, "You're kidding! I brought this up myself, how can I go down and do that?"

At this time, the plum soup came up, and several children each drank from a bowl. Han Nianxia asked, "Cheng Youning, I remember you didn't drink plum soup very much. Didn't you always drink big bowls of tea? How come you drank plum soup after meeting your sister Zi'e?"

This plum soup is girls' favorite. Looking around, most of the guests in the room are female.

No one understood Cheng Youning's helplessness, "Sister Zi'e wanted to take me to drink plum soup, so I came."

Han Nianxia said: "Look, now you know how to listen to your wife."

Cheng Youning retorted: "How could I have that?"

Han Nianxia said: "Then I asked you to go shopping with me, why did you refuse nine times out of ten?"
