After leading the horse out, Chen Chen said to He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, you get on the horse first."

He Jinshu didn't act pretentiously this time and just jumped onto the horse.

After He Jinshu sat down, Chen Chen also got on the horse, said hello to Grandma He, and rode towards the town.

The galloping horses through Wujia Village naturally sparked another wave of discussion.

The current situation in Wujia Village is that the He family has become prosperous overnight, and the whole village is envious and jealous. There is nothing that can be done about it, because it is Wujia Village that is poor.

After arriving in the town, the two of them first went to get a carriage, then drove the carriage to the house in the town, and then went out to buy gifts for the bride.

"What do your parents and brother and sister-in-law like?" He Jinshu asked Chen Chen as they walked.

"Mom likes to buy jewelry, Dad likes to smoke and drink, and my eldest brother doesn't seem to have any particular hobbies besides being interested in business. My eldest sister-in-law likes to play with her hair the most.

"My second brother loves to tinker with strange things, my second brother-in-law loves to buy clothes from Nanbei Cloth Shop, and the other two little ones love the cakes from Pinmingfang the most," Chen Chen said to He Jinshu.

He Jinshu nodded when he heard this, and then he and Shen Zhen bought a complete set of silver jewelry for Shen's mother, a pot of good wine and a pipe for Shen's father, a jade pendant that symbolizes wealth and treasure for Shen's eldest brother, and a jade comb for Shen's eldest sister-in-law.

He bought a wooden mechanical doll for Brother Shen. Because it was not proper to give ready-made clothes to brothers, He Jinshu bought a piece of fine brocade for Brother Shen's husband at a cloth shop. Finally, he bought cakes from Pinmingfang for his two nephews.

After buying these, He Jinshu also bought some of the most common gifts for returning home, including two chickens, two pounds of meat, two bags of brown sugar, two pieces of cloth, two pots of wine, and two bags of snacks.

After buying everything and some things they needed for their own home, the two returned to their house in town.

After putting everything away, Chen Chen said, "Ashu, let's go to Mo Yuexuan for lunch?"

He Jinshu nodded and said yes.

After arriving at the restaurant, Manager Qian saw that it was Chen Chen who came, and greeted him familiarly, "Brother Chen is here?"

"Uncle Qian, are there any private rooms available?" Chen Chen asked.

"Yes, who is this person behind you?"

"This is my boyfriend. We got married the day before yesterday."

"You're getting married? Why didn't you invite me to your wedding?" Shopkeeper Qian said in surprise at first and then a little dissatisfied.

"My partner is a scholar and keeps a low profile, so we didn't invite so many people. We'll treat you to dinner alone some other day!"

"That's great. Then you can go to the private room, the usual place. Tell the waiter what you want to eat."

"Okay." After saying that, he took He Jinshu upstairs.

Before going upstairs, He Jinshu met the curious look in Shopkeeper Qian's eyes, nodded slightly to him, and then followed Chen Chen upstairs.

Hey, I didn’t expect that Brother Zhen would end up finding such a gentle yet fragile scholar, Shopkeeper Qian felt emotional.

After entering the private room, Chen Chen asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to He Jinshu, saying, "Ah Shu, what do you like to eat?"

He Jinshu pushed the menu back and said, "Just order directly. I don't know if anything here is delicious."

Chen Chen did not refuse and ordered all the signature dishes here, and then asked the waiter to bring some tea and cakes first.

After the waiter left, He Jinshu asked, "Does your family also have a stake in this restaurant?"

"No, the wine in our village has a cooperation with this restaurant." Chen Chen shook his head and said.

Then he added, "Ashu, if you want to drink any kind of fruit wine, you can tell me. I can ask the village to brew it for you, or we can brew it at home."

"Can you make wine?"

"Of course." Chen Chen said proudly, and then leaned over to whisper in He Jinshu's ear: "The wine brewing recipe of Shenjia Village is my idea, and the vermicelli recipe is also my idea."

After saying that, he gave He Jinshu a smug look.

He Jinshu felt that Chen Zhen really made him feel very strange sometimes. You said he was smart, but sometimes he felt that his ideas were very different.

You say he is not smart, but he knows how to be on guard against people and always gives you answers that you would never expect.

He Jinshu looked at his smug look and couldn't help but teasing him, "Besides these, what else can you do?"

"Then I know a lot more. I will show you slowly in the future. And..."

Chen Chen leaned over and whispered in He Jinshu's ear, "I still have a secret I haven't told you."

Another secret? He Jinshu glanced at Chen Chen calmly. Why do you have so many secrets?

"What's the secret?" He Jinshu also imitated Chen Zhen and whispered in his ear.

"I can't tell you this now. I'll tell you later." Chen Chen shook his head and said.

Seeing this, He Jinshu didn't force it, thinking that it shouldn't be a bad thing after all.

Not long after the dishes were served, the two began to eat.

"Ah Shu, the eight-treasure duck in their restaurant is delicious, you should eat more." Chen Chen said as he picked up a piece of duck meat for He Jinshu.

He Jinshu nodded and said okay, then said to Chen Chen: "Eat by yourself, don't worry about me, just pick up what I want to eat."

Chen Zhen kept picking up food for him, and his bowl was almost full. He ate even slower than Chen Zhen could.

"You're too thin. You need to eat more meat." Chen Chen said as he picked up some food for him.

He Jinshu had no choice but to accept this and then lowered his head to eat in silence.

After finishing their meal, the two of them left the restaurant. When they walked onto the street, He Jinshu said to Chen Chen, "I'm going to the bookstore. You go back to the house first. I'll come find you later."

Chen Zhen originally wanted to go with him, but when he thought about how he knew nothing about books, he said, "Then you go, and come back early."

He Jinshu nodded and said he understood. Then the two of them went their separate ways.

After He Jinshu entered the bookstore, he did not look for books about the imperial examination as usual.

Instead, he first walked around the bookshelf that dealt with the imperial examinations, and then pretended to casually move to the back of the bookshelf, where various miscellaneous books were placed.

He Jinshu looked around and saw that no one was around, so he found a booklet with pictures and started reading.

As soon as he opened the first page, the picture on it made his face blush instantly, so he quickly closed the booklet and took a deep breath to calm the heat on his face.

Just as he was about to flip through the book again, a voice beside him said, "You can only buy books in this store, you can't read them here."

He Jinshu was startled by the sudden sound and almost threw the booklet in his hand away.
