The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 522 Maybe It Will Be Sweet
Confused, Chu Jinnian will have to wear a mask and appear as a disfigured man in the future?
She also got the impression of being extremely intelligent?
Why do I suddenly feel like something is not right...
"I... was just joking. Lord Chu, you don't have to take it to heart..." Zhuang Qingning explained a little awkwardly.
"Miss Zhuang can give others some advice with just a joke. It shows that Miss Zhuang's wisdom is unmatched. In the future, Miss Zhuang should joke with me more often. Maybe I can benefit from it more."
Zhuang Qingning when playing is completely different from Zhuang Qingning when she is serious. She is lively, playful and very cute.
More importantly, during a joke, he might hear something that he wouldn't normally hear, or he could take the opportunity to say something that he normally couldn't say.
Although what he heard might not be true.
Although what he said, Zhuang Qingning might not take it seriously.
It is better to be able to hear and speak than not to be able to hear and speak.
There is still a long time to go, so take it slow.
Maybe this melon will become sweet as it grows longer, right?
There was a hint of smile on the corners of Chu Jinnian's lips.
“…”
After being praised again, Zhuang Qingning looked up at the sky in silence.
Whatever, as long as the handsome man is happy...
The two chatted for a while, and then the waiter came to serve the meal.
There are several exquisite side dishes, West Lake vinegar fish, crucian carp and tofu soup, plus eight-treasure rice pudding, all of which are delicious and tasty, and just looking at them makes one's appetite grow.
"Miss Zhuang, please have some." Chu Jinnian made a gesture of invitation and helped Zhuang Qingning pick up a piece of fish.
Zhuang Qingning didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Chu Jinnian was being polite as a host and asked her not to be polite before picking up the dishes herself. After thanking him, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
After talking for the whole morning, his stomach was empty. The dish was very tasty, so Zhuang Qingning was not overly reserved or polite. He chatted with Chu Jinnian while enjoying his meal.
Over here, in Chu Jinzhou's yard, Fan Wenxuan was leading the three little ones to eat.
After playing for a whole morning, the few people were already starving like drums, and they were about to attack and raid the table full of delicious food.
"The shrimp dumplings are here." Jing Zhao took the dish from the servant, carefully placed it on the table, opened the lid, and served one to each of the children.
"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat. There's more in the kitchen, but I'm worried it won't taste good if it gets cold, so I'm sending it here slowly."
Originally, there were only four shrimp dumplings in this basket. Zhuang Qingsui was thinking about whether to give her shrimp dumplings to Chu Jinzhou because he loved them. But when she heard that there were more, she picked one up and put it in her mouth with confidence.
Fan Wenxuan slowly stuffed the shrimp dumpling into his mouth and glanced at Jing Zhao, "You don't have to serve the eldest master today?"
Jing Zhao curled his lips.
He actually wanted to serve the eldest young master, but wasn't he afraid that if there was any mistake here, it would expose the fact that Chu Jinnian didn't allow these people to eat with them?
So, he had to watch from the side no matter what.
"Because the eldest master and Miss Zhuang are discussing business matters, and I am afraid that they will neglect the third master, Miss Sui, and the wise young master, so I specifically asked my subordinates to look after them here."
Jing Zhao said this with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.
I have to admit that I have become more tactful recently.
It was obvious that Chu Jinnian disliked them, but they insisted on saying that Chu Jinnian had no choice but to do this. This would allow him and Zhuang Qingning to have some peace and quiet, while not making Chu Jinzhou and the others feel neglected.
He...is not easy.
"The eldest master also asked his subordinates to apologize to the third master, Miss Sui, and Young Master Mingli. I will talk to you when I have time."
"No problem."
Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Qingsui both waved their hands.
"Since Big Brother wants to discuss serious matters with Sister Ning, we would not disturb him. Just let Big Brother talk business with Sister Ning in peace." The speaker was Chu Jinzhou.
"Yes, we will study here with Mr. Fan so that my sister and Lord Chu don't have to worry about them." Zhuang Qingsui also echoed.
"The Third Young Master and Miss Sui are so thoughtful. The Eldest Young Master and Miss Zhuang must be very pleased." Jing Zhao suddenly felt warm in his heart.
One reason is that Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Qingsui are thoughtful and considerate.
The second reason was because of the sudden inspiration I had just had.
He turned the tables, which made others feel uneasy and could only feel heartbroken. However, it not only did not cause any rift between them, but made them more caring towards each other. This was all thanks to him.

Jing Zhao was very happy and shared the eight-treasure rice pudding that had just been delivered to several people.
"Talking about business?" Fan Wenxuan's eyes flashed, "I don't know when the eldest master was short of money?"
As the crown prince, it goes without saying that he had a lot of property in the Prince of Qi's Mansion. When Xiao Qiao got married, her dowry was as vast as ten miles, making others the envy of her. And in the end, all of this dowry was given to Chu Jinnian.
The Qiao family is wealthy and powerful. Old Master Qiao loves his poor grandson so much that during the years Chu Jinnian stayed in the Qiao family, he had countless properties and treasures in his name.
After Chu Jinnian returned to Beijing, the Empress Dowager loved him, and Concubine Hui took good care of him. In addition, the Emperor gave him various rewards...
Fan Wenxuan had every reason to believe that Chu Jinnian might not even know how many treasures and silver he had, or how many shops and properties he owned.
Such a person is actually interested in doing business?
Who would believe that! It's obvious that he is just interested in Zhuang Qingning!
Fan Wenxuan felt quite unhappy when he thought that Chu Jinnian might still want to recruit Zhuang Qingning as his aide.
Jing Zhao naturally sensed Fan Wenxuan's hostility and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Fan, you are joking. Who in this world would complain about having too much money?"
"Besides, this business sounds great. Not only the eldest master, but even I want to get involved after hearing it."
"To be honest, Mr. Fan, I think this business will definitely make a lot of money. It's just a pity that the eldest master is not short of money. I'm afraid he doesn't need us to contribute money."
"Oh, what a pity..."
"Now that you mention it, I'm curious. What kind of business is so good?" After hearing what Jing Zhao said, Fan Wenxuan also became interested.
Jing Zhao was relieved to see that he had successfully changed the subject, and said with a smile, "It's about the soap business."
"The soap I used?"
Fan Wenxuan subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms, which had now turned white.
I have to say, the ink stain just now was washed very cleanly. It is a very useful thing.
But how to put it...
It is useful, but after all, it is only used for washing and brushing teeth. Things in the inner house will seem a little bit not presentable. Such a business will not make a name for itself even in the capital.
