The wife of two taels of silver

The person who was most happy about the buns that Gu An brought back was not Lin Haitang, nor Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, but Liu Wanwan.

When Liu Wanwan saw Chen Ji's buns on the dinner table, it is no exaggeration to say hello to everyone. She quickly walked to the table, picked up a bun and put it in her mouth.

Luckily, the first one she picked was the one with her favorite shrimp filling.

Liu Wanwan finished a bun before she even had time to sit down. After eating one, she took another one filled with shrimp.

Seeing that his wife had no intention of sitting down, Liu Sanyou quickly pushed her onto the chair: "Hurry up and sit down. Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch your food from you."

Liu Wanwan nodded while eating, quickly finished this one, and picked up another one at random.

It was mutton filling, and Liu Wanwan’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

Lin Haitang laughed at Liu Wanwan's expression. She also picked up a bun and started eating it. She said to Liu Wanwan, "Wanwan, you love this bun so much? It's hard to say. I have someone line up to buy some every day. Buy as much as you want. I'll take care of it."

Liu Wanwan nodded hurriedly, holding a bun in both hands and biting it.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan also started eating with relish. Even little Gu Chen asked Gu An to hold him and feed him two bites of the buns.

In the end, not even the eighty buns were left. Not only that, it wasn't even enough, as most of the dishes in the kitchen were also sold out.

This shows that these people really can eat.

Lin Haitang looked at the buns in her hand and thought: These buns are not that big to begin with, and there are so many people here. Not only are there many people, but everyone is a big eater, so it is reasonable for them to eat so much.

Lin Haitang moved the food line to the table. Looking at the empty plate on the table, Lin Haitang suddenly thought: Forget it, let's face it, our family can eat a lot, so what? Being able to eat is a blessing!

The other people at the table didn't notice what Lin Haitang was thinking. They put down their chopsticks, feeling that their stomachs were full. Everyone had a calm expression on their faces, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with eating too much.

After dinner, everyone had their own things to do, except Lin Haitang who had nothing to do.

To investigate the fire, all they have to do now is wait to find Hu Yong. There is nothing Lin Haitang and Gu An can do except wait.

The houses and vendors around Qingyang Academy were suspicious. Lin Haitang and Gu An had investigated early on, and everyone they asked said that there was nothing different that day. They didn't hear any strange noises or see anything weird. It was only after the fire got bigger that people saw that Qingyang Academy was on fire and began to bring water to put out the fire.

Lin Haitang was not feeling well when she was idle, especially when she was alone. Gu An went to the training ground and was not with her. She could not help but think of the fire, Hu Yong, and the dream she had last night. In the end, Lin Haitang could not stand her own suspicion and went to Taoli House.

Taoliwu is where Liu Sanyou teaches Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan.

Lin Haitang was also sitting aside listening to Liu Sanyou's lecture. Liu Wanwan was also here, and Lin Haitang and Liu Wanwan sat together.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan's eyes lit up when they saw Lin Haitang, and they sat up straight again, listening carefully to Liu Sanyou's lecture.

Lin Haitang and Liu Wanwan listened for a while, then held hands and quietly left the temporary classroom.

Lin Haitang supported Liu Wanwan and said, "Your belly is almost nine months old and you're about to give birth. Don't come out so often in the future."

Liu Wanwan said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal, sister? I think it's because of your medicine. I'm in great shape now. I can eat and sleep well. I didn't feel any discomfort during the entire pregnancy."

Lin Haitang smiled and said, "It's good that you're not feeling unwell. Be careful these days. If you feel anything is wrong, call for help. I won't let Sanyou teach Momo Lanlan anymore. Let him stay with you all day."

Liu Wanwan was unhappy. She said, "No, I'm fine. Even without my husband, there are still so many people in this house. If I have any problems, I can just shout."

"No," Lin Haitang shook her head and refused directly. "I don't trust others. What if you need help and there's no one around? Sanyou has to accompany you all day long. He has to go to the toilet early too. You can't be careless now. Momo and Lanlan's classes are not a big deal. There will be plenty of opportunities to attend them in the future. It's just right. These days can be considered as a holiday for them."

Liu Wanwan smiled and nodded, shook Lin Haitang's hand, and said coquettishly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."

In the afternoon, another rare guest came to the Princess's Mansion.

Young Marquis Xia Ziqiu.

After hearing the report from the villain, Lin Haitang raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

When she walked into the central hall, Lin Haitang saw Xia Ziqiu in a red dress.

"Young Marquis." Lin Haitang said with a smile.

Xia Ziqiu looked like a frivolous scumbag. He smiled and bowed to Lin Haitang, saying, "Princess, I'm here to give you a thank you gift."

Xia Ziqiu clapped his hands, and someone brought up three boxes. Xia Ziqiu raised his hand to signal the servants to open the boxes.

The box in the middle contains gold ingots, and the boxes on both sides contain silver ingots.

Xia Ziqiu said, "I really don't know what the princess likes, so I'll just give her money and buy whatever she likes."

Lin Haitang thought Xia Ziqiu was very interesting and said, "Okay, thank you, young marquis. I'll keep it then."

Xia Ziqiu raised his hand and waved, saying, "Well, this was originally sent to you, so of course you should accept it. There's no need to thank me."

Xia Ziqiu didn't mention leaving, and Lin Haitang didn't chase him away, waiting to see what his purpose was.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Haitang heard Xia Ziqiu finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked, "Um, Princess, I want to ask you a question."

Lin Haitang raised an eyebrow, took a sip of tea calmly, and said, "Ask."

I may not answer your question if you ask me.

"Um..." Xia Ziqiu hesitated, but his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation: "Um, did you write Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Lin Haitang was stunned. She really didn't expect Xia Ziqiu to ask this question.

Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "Of course I didn't write Dream of the Red Chamber. I've read it and it's very well written. I don't have such high literary attainments. Young Marquis, you think too highly of me."

Xia Ziqiu was a little skeptical, but also felt it was within his expectations. He said, "But Liu Shuyun came to the Princess's Mansion, and Shopkeeper Hu also came. Shopkeeper Hu is in charge of the bookstore's dividends. I can't think of anyone else who could have brought him here in person, except for that 'Cao Xueqin'."

Lin Haitang smiled and said, "Liu Shuyun came to my house to look for my husband. We are close friends. As for Shopkeeper Hu, he came to deliver something for Liu Shuyun."

Seeing Lin Haitang speak so confidently, Xia Ziqiu lost his temper and believed what she said.
