Chapter 50: Plain and Free

"Uncle Chang!"

Adian followed him into the general's mansion, and as soon as he saw Chang Kuo, he rushed over and hugged him, almost hanging himself on Chang Kuo.

He was slightly taller than Chang Kuo, and younger than Chang Kuo, in his prime, so at this moment he was like a big bear that wrapped around people.

"Alright, alright." Chang Kuo smiled and straightened the man up, patting his shoulder: "Our Adian has grown taller again!"

Looking at the middle-aged Adian in front of him, Chang Suining couldn't help but sigh - Old Chang's opening remarks did not change at all with the passage of time, and one sentence could be used until the end of time.

Ah Dian was very pleased with what he said, "Uncle Chang, why did you guys go out for so long this time?"

"When it comes to fighting, you have to win before you can come back." Chang Kuo said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. You should stay a few more days this time!"

"Of course, I'll stay for a long time!" Adian agreed readily.

Chang Kuo laughed out loud, but he didn't believe a word of it in his heart.

Adian is a child who has one thing in common with ordinary children - he is very happy before going to his relatives' house and claims to stay for a few more days. However, when he really goes to stay, he will pout and cry loudly the night before, and he can only hold on until the next day.

In Adian's heart, the Xuan Ce Mansion where he lived with His Highness is his real home.

Chang Kuo had already made preparations to send the person back the next day, and now he instructed Manager Bai to take the person away to rest first.

"Little Ah Li, remember to come and play with me!" Before Ah Dian followed Manager Bai away, he said, "We made a promise on the carriage!"

Chang Suining nodded in agreement.

"Sui Ning and A Dian get along so well now?" Chang Kuo was a little surprised.

"He is a very nice and sincere person." Chang Suining said this perfunctorily - when you are undecided, it is always right to praise someone.

Hearing this, Chang Kuo sighed with satisfaction: "Our Suining has really grown up now."

As he said this, he sat down in the armchair and said, "Come, sit down and talk to Dad. Did you gain anything from going out today?"

The door to the side hall had been closed, and the servants had all retreated outside to guard it.

"The biggest gain today... should be buying a donkey." Chang Sui'an said, scratching the back of his head.

Chang Kuo frowned and looked at his son: "Why buy a donkey when you are taking your sister out?"

He thinks his son looks more like a donkey!

The family doesn't need a second one! Chang Sui'an explained, "Dad, this is exactly what Ning Ning wanted to buy."

Chang Kuo's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and looked at his daughter: "...Donkeys are good, they are more docile than horses. Just buy one, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks in the stable!"

Chang Sui'an didn't think there was anything wrong with his father's two faces. When he was about to say something else with great interest, he was interrupted by Chang Suining vigilantly.

"There are still some gains." She quickly interrupted Chang Sui'an.

She really didn't want to hear any more talk about her and the donkey's mutual redemption today.

Both father and son looked at her.

"It's just that it's not convenient to tell you in detail on the way." Chang Suining said: "Today at the flower show, I met Miss Pei of the Yao family--"

"Madam Yao?" Chang Kuo frowned and asked, "The wife of Yao Yi, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple... the eldest daughter of Pei Min who got married?"

It's not that he knows the marriage relationships of the officials in the capital, but because he has been investigating the affairs of the Pei family in recent days, he naturally remembers them by heart and knows which one it is as soon as he is mentioned.

"Yes." Facing Chang Kuo, Chang Suining spoke quite frankly: "Although I don't know the reason yet, my intuition tells me that this person is a little suspicious."

Chang Sui'an was shocked when he heard this - intuition? Whenever he said this word, his father wanted to give him a slap in the face and give him a sharp comment - you don't even have a brain, how can you have any intuition! At this time, he subconsciously glanced at his father's reaction.

"Okay." Chang Kuo nodded seriously: "Father will send someone to investigate this Lady of the Yao family alone!"

Chang Sui'an didn't have time to feel the bitterness, and subconsciously said, "Let Jian Tong check it out?"

The sword boy standing by was a little hesitant - since he was investigating the female relatives, he hoped that this time when the young master gave him specific instructions, he would be careful about the degree of severity.

"It's one thing for Jian Tong to take people to investigate." Chang Kuo pondered for a moment and said, "But there is a better way..."

Seeing that both children were looking at him, Chang Kuo said, "Write a letter to Yu Zeng."

Chang Suining: “…”

It's like someone asks, how many steps are needed to steam a basket of buns? A normal person would answer, four steps - first knead the dough, then mix the stuffing, put it in the steamer, and turn on the fire.

The one who asks for help answers, takes one step - call mother!

And if she were asked to choose, she would of course choose the second one.

She absolutely could not understand why a human being would not take shortcuts.

Therefore, she looked at Chang Kuo in approval, but was a little hesitant: "The previous list was given by Yu Gong, and he owed Wei Shilang a favor because of it. Now, is it not appropriate to trouble him again and again?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, from what she had heard in recent days, Ah Zeng was really difficult to get along with nowadays, and she hadn't even met him yet. It was inevitable that she felt a little unsure about taking this shortcut.

Chang Kuo thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it, but... maybe I should express my gratitude."

"Then what should we send over?" Chang Sui'an suggested, "But Mr. Yu doesn't need anything, and he doesn't care about expensive things. There must be many people who will try to give him gifts in various ways... Why don't Ningning make a basket of snacks by hand? It won't be the same as others, and it can also show your love!"

"That's good." Chang Suining nodded in approval, "But I totally forgot how to make snacks."

She simply can't.

Otherwise, why would she choose to "go all the way and call her mother directly"?

"Then we have to think of other ways..." Chang Sui'an continued to think hard.

"I remember Mr. Yu liked to play the piano?" Chang Suining suddenly asked.

"Ah... yes." Chang Kuo thought for a moment and said, "But he seldom plays the piano in front of others, so not many people know about his hobby."

Chang Suining nodded: "That's perfect. Since no one knows about this, ordinary people can't send gifts here. Why don't we send a rare music score?"

"Hmm... this is a great idea!" Chang Kuo smiled and stroked his beard: "Very good, then I'll give you this."

Chang Sui'an also thought it was great, but out of caution he asked, "Father, do we have any music scores worth showing off?"

Chang Kuo paused in stroking his beard, frowned, thought for a moment, and said nothing.

Chang Suining was silent for a moment, then decided to let it go and give up the idea of ​​giving a gift: "...Father, please write the letter first."

After everyone unanimously decided, the final way to express gratitude was to add three words at the end of the letter - Thank you very much.

No-frills and free.

…

Fortunately, although the letter was plain, the friendship was strong. Within two days, Yu Zeng gave a reply.

On the same day, there was also progress on Jian Tong's side.

Second update, begging for monthly tickets, begging for monthly tickets, if I don't beg you guys for it, will you forget me in your hearts? Woohoo, now the monthly ticket ranking is 30th, I want to take a breath and squeeze into the top 20 (><) 　　(See you tomorrow during the day)
