The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

Early in the morning, the three of them boarded the carriage again, heading for Shen Ru's house. This time, they left home much earlier and brought generous gifts with them.

"Little sister, did you sleep well last night? Are you feeling unwell?" Mingyang asked with concern as soon as Mingyue got in the car.

"No, it's fine." Mingyue stuck her head out, looked at the bustling street market, and answered without turning her head.

"No way, the young lady said this morning that she had a strange dream." Zhizhi couldn't help but interrupt. After all, she cared very much about anything related to the young lady, no matter how big or small.

Mingyang's heart skipped a beat. He was a little nervous and tried to keep his tone calm. "Hmm? What dream?"

Seeing that Mingyue didn't stop her, Zhizhi reported to the eldest young master, "The young lady said she dreamed of five little girls who looked a bit like Zhaodi, standing together motionless."

"The young lady said that it was only after she woke up from the dream that she realized they looked like Zhaodi. Taotao said that it was like she dreamed about something during the day."

Mingyang's breathing became a little rapid. He looked at Mingyue, trying to see a different expression on her face.

But he was disappointed. Mingyue turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Brother, isn't it amazing?"

Minghao also interjected, "I had the same dream yesterday. I dreamed that I was holding someone, running around, over mountains and across rivers."

He lay on the carriage, "So now my whole body is sore, and I feel like my bones are falling apart."

"That's probably because you slept terribly last night, second brother," Mingyue joked.

The two of them talked, laughed and played together.

Mingyang frowned and stared at Minghao, trying to find the shadow of an old friend in him.

But before he could think about it, the carriage stopped and said, "Master, Miss, we have arrived at Miss Shen's house."

Mingyang jumped off the carriage first and carefully carried his sister down. Minghao followed his sister's example and delicately extended his hand. Before Mingyang could help him, he realized that they had already entered and hurried to catch up.

The groom laughed behind him and followed him in.

Shen Ru and her daughter didn't expect that Mingyue and his two siblings would come so early and were still preparing the food.

"Sister Shen, Sister Shen! Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen!" Mingyue shouted loudly as she came in.

The Shen family was originally a wealthy family, but now that they have fallen on hard times, they don't think about hiring maids or servants. The two of them, mother and daughter, are enough.

The mother and daughter in the kitchen thought they were hallucinating, "Mom, is there someone calling outside?"

"Oh, I heard that too. It couldn't be some kitten outside. Let's catch it and raise it. Who knows, the little princess might like it when she sees it." Mother Shen wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"That's right, the little kid likes cats and dogs the most." Shen Ru smiled, as if she could imagine Mingyue's fondness for those small animals.

"Sister Shen, Aunt Shen, I'm here!" Mingyue's voice became louder and clearer.

The mother and daughter put down their things and walked out, "Oh, it really is the little princess!"

"Sister Shen!" Mingyue threw herself into Shen Ru's arms like a butterfly.

Mingyang and Minghao, who were following behind, also bowed to the two of them, "Aunt Shen, Miss Shen, Mingyang/Minghao are here to bother you."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not so polite. Come on, Ru'er, take them around our yard while Mommy gets ready."

"Yeah!" Shen Ru nodded in response.

After getting Mingyue's consent, Taotao took Shen's mother's hand and said, "Mrs. Shen, I'll go with you. I can cook."

Mother Shen looked at Taotao, who was in her early teens, and was obviously a little surprised. "Really?"

Mingyue and the others testified for her, "Aunt Shen, our Taotao is the best cook in the world!"

"Yes, my sister's maid rarely cooks." Minghao grew up eating the delicious food made by Taotao.

Mingyang also nodded.

Mother Shen looked at Taotao with admiration, "In that case, let's take on the responsibility of preparing today's dishes. My daughter is not as good as you. She can only make one dish, steamed bun slices."

Everyone laughed, but Shen Ru was not annoyed. Instead, she liked this joyful atmosphere very much. She pretended to be angry, made a face at Shen's mother, pulled Mingyue and turned around and ran away.

Mother Shen's eyes were slightly red. Since her husband passed away, her daughter, who was originally lively and cheerful, had not been so happy for a long time.

"That day, I came to the brokerage firm to buy a small courtyard, and I was almost cheated. The man actually asked me for two thousand taels of silver, and it was near the city gate." Shen Ru held Mingyue's hand and walked in front.

Minghao and Mingyang followed behind in silence.

"What?" Mingyue was shocked. "This guy is asking for too much! Even things this expensive aren't available in the capital."

"That's right, so I scolded that person and ended up getting kicked out."

Mingyue gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are truly a woman among women! Amazing!"

Shen Ru was not a gentle woman to begin with. She had a wild nature in her bones. She was bound by an engagement in the past and had to learn to be a lady from a wealthy family. Now that she had broken off the engagement, no one would set their sights on her in the short term, so she was happy and free, living casually.

"That's right." Shen Ru was quite satisfied with her behavior. If she didn't scold him, she would have sat up and pounded the bed in the middle of the night when she thought of this. "Fortunately, thanks to you, I met that Master Ma."

"Oh?" Mingyue's gossip radar sounded, especially this kind of drama when the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried.

But Shen Ru's expression was pure, devoid of any other emotion. "When Lord Ma learned I was looking for a house, he took me back to the government office. Once I found a satisfactory house, we went to the real estate agent to sign the contract."

In ancient times, all house sales had to be registered with the government. So Shen Ru essentially viewed all the nearby houses at the government office and selected a suitable one.

"Thanks to Lord Ma, this matter went so smoothly, so I also invited him to come." Shen Ru said.

Mingyue nodded. "Why didn't I think of that? If I had known earlier, I would have brought you to the government office to look for it directly. We would have wasted so much time."

Shen Ru pinched Mingyue's face and changed the subject, "Would you like to drink the tea I made?"

"Sister Shen, you made the tea yourself?" Minghao scratched his ear, somewhat unbelieving.

Shen Ru nodded, "Yes. It's a specialty of our Minzhou. I'll go get it now. Please wait a moment."
