On the way back, both of them were very happy.

In addition to the success of the food tasting, it was also because Mr. Wang and his team paid half of the deposit in advance.

Xu Si touched the purse in her arms from time to time, which contained four taels of silver belonging to her. When she saw someone walking by, she quickly put her hand down.

Although no one should be snatching it, I was still a little nervous.

A bright smile spread across Su Jinyue's face, and she seemed to have escaped from the heaviness of life and was reborn.

"Ah Si, what are you going to do with this money?"

"Save money first, and when you have enough, buy a house of your own."

Xu Si's eyes were full of anticipation. She had always been obsessed with owning a house that belonged to her alone. She always felt that this would give her a sense of security.

Su Jinyue was a little surprised, and then thought about her situation, and asked carefully, "Are you planning to leave?"

Xu Si shook his head. "I haven't made up my mind yet. If I divorce, I can only go back home. But if I go back to that home, I will definitely not have a good life."

If she chooses not to return home, she will be an illegal resident. Not only will she not be able to make money from business, she will also have to avoid being tracked down by the government.

As for setting up a female household, the conditions are very strict nowadays. Only widows who have lost their husbands and need to raise children alone can set up their own household.

All I can say is that all her roads are blocked now.

Su Jinyue also understood, "Then there is no possibility for you and my second brother?"

Like her and Shen Jingchuan, there are not many people who love each other before marriage. Most of them are arranged by matchmakers and parents, and then cultivate feelings after marriage. Even if they cannot support each other, they can still respect each other like guests.

It was unheard of that Ah Si and his second brother were like roommates. They even quarreled from time to time and did not live in the same room.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyue felt a little embarrassed. It was not that she was gossipy, but the yard they lived in was too small since they were exiled, and they could hear any slight movement.

"It's too early to say this. I don't know what the future will be like. But at least it's impossible now. If he meets someone he likes in the future, I will give up my position then."

Xu Si has no idea about love right now, and Shen Yanchen is only 16 years old. Although her current physical age is only 14, her mental age is still in her twenties. Looking at him is like looking at a younger brother.

Too naive, can't come up with any ideas.

"No matter what, we are your family. If anything happens, we will definitely help." Su Jinyue said seriously.

Xu Si pursed his lips and smiled, "I know. Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, how are you going to spend it?"

"As for me, I will naturally buy some thin cloth for Qining to make some clothes. The cloth he is wearing now is not good, and he even got some heat rash a few days ago."

Su Jinyue felt so distressed just thinking about it. If the child hadn’t discovered it when bathing him, he wouldn’t have said anything.

"That's right. Children have delicate skin, and they can't hold out like us. Do you want to buy some prickly heat powder? If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."

Su Jinyue waved her hand to refuse, "It's enough. There will be some left after tearing off the cloth."

Xu Si nodded, and suddenly moved closer to her, asking curiously, "Sister-in-law, you and brother have such a good relationship. How did you meet, and how did you end up together?"

"Ah?" Su Jinyue was a little confused. Why did the topic suddenly turn here?

Meeting Xu Si's curious eyes, she felt like talking too.

"You also know that I am the daughter of the Minister of Rites. I was taught to obey my husband after marriage. Everyone also agrees that men can have three wives and four concubines, but the Shen family is an exception.

This is unique in the capital. Which woman doesn't want to marry into the Shen family? Moreover, Shen Jingchuan is not bad in appearance, figure, and ability. He doesn't have to be trapped in the harem and the intrigues with concubines. "

Xu Si nodded in agreement. This was indeed very attractive.

Su Jinyue was satisfied with her reaction and continued with interest, "I have always been very curious about him, but I haven't had much contact with him. I almost always saw him from afar at banquets."

Thinking of what happened later, she blushed a little, "Once, because I didn't practice my piano well, my mother punished me by not allowing me to eat sweets for a month, but I was too greedy, and after struggling for a long time, I decided to take the risk and go out.

I crawled out of the dog hole, and when I looked up, I saw him standing in front of me and smiling at me.

That was the most outrageous thing I've ever done in my life, and he just happened to run into me."

"and after?"

Xu Si couldn't wait to ask. He didn't expect that Su Jinyue looked so polite, but actually had an unruly heart.

"Later I felt very embarrassed and explained the reason to him. He said he could bring me sweets in the future and told me not to go through the dog hole again. He thought I was a thief."

"Wow, this first encounter seems like a storybook."

Su Jinyue felt the same way, "Later we agreed that on that day of every month he would bring me delicious food and send it to me through the dog hole. After a while, we developed feelings for each other.

Later, the dog hole was filled up by someone, and we could no longer contact each other.

The next day, I heard that someone from the Marquis' Mansion came to propose marriage."

"Brother, are you so fast?"

"I was also shocked at the time, but when I saw him through the screen, I felt very happy in my heart."

"And then? Anything else interesting?"

"After we got engaged, he came to my house openly to give me sweets and even asked me out to play."

Xu Si touched his chin and guessed, "I think Big Brother must have fallen in love with you at first sight, otherwise how could he agree to help you in the first place? It's obvious that he is just looking for an excuse to increase the chances of getting along with you."

"I once asked him why he liked me, and he said it was the first time he saw a noble lady who went through a dog hole, and he was deeply impressed."

"Hahaha." Xu Si was so happy to hear this. It was such an interesting reason. "But it must also be because you are beautiful, sister-in-law."

"He, he said, when I looked up at him, he couldn't help but think of his favorite pony."

Su Jinyue stuttered, her neck turning a little red. She had never told anyone about these private matters.

Now, as I talk about it and recall the past, I feel extremely happy.

Xu Si was also very happy to hear this. This was the refreshing feeling after eating melon.

Perhaps the two of them became closer because of discussing their little daughter's concerns.

It turns out that gossip is the key to opening people's hearts.

When they were still some distance away from the store, Da Huang ran towards Xu Si and circled around her happily.

She bent down and touched its head.

When the two of them stepped into the store, Lou Yuexin smiled gently, "I guessed that you guys are back. Da Huang was lying at the door just now, but suddenly he ran away excitedly."

"This dog is quite human-like. It's a good dog." Shen Anyi patted its head and praised it.

"How was the food tasting? Was there anything wrong?" Lou Yuexin had been worried since the two of them left. After all, they were two women.

"It worked, and there's nothing to change."

Xu Si spoke in a light-hearted manner. As for someone finding fault, telling them about it would only make them upset. Anyway, it had been resolved. On the way home, she and Su Jinyue agreed not to tell their family about it.

"That's good."
