Chapter 356 The Eldest Daughter of the Great General Who Protects the Nation

That very evening, Zhou Chengxing revealed some details about the Shen siblings to Su Jingshu.

As the eldest daughter of a first-rank general protecting the country, even if she only lived in the capital until the age of 12, she had already learned all the skills that a lady from a prestigious family should learn.

She had previously wondered why Shen Yuzhen didn't seem like an ordinary village woman, both in terms of her demeanor and appearance.

Now she finally understands why: it's because she possesses a certain aura.

Su Jingshu smiled at Shen Yuzhen.

"Yuzhen, you can't refuse. In fact, whether this girls' school can be established depends on you."

You know that Jing Shu and I could suddenly part ways at any time due to unforeseen circumstances.

You're different; your home is here, and you generally won't leave.

Moreover, you are well-educated and reasonable, so teaching a little girl to read would be a piece of cake for you. In addition, you are good at cooking and needlework.

You are absolutely qualified to be this female teacher.

The matter of the girls' school was discussed and decided by Shen Yuzhen, Gu Yunrou, and Su Jingshu.

Having essentially "thrown" the girl aside, Chen Juren's steps became much more cheerful on his way back.

Ningbao was so happy to receive a notice that she would have a few days off after only one day of school that she almost jumped for joy.

Ningbao didn't have to go to school the next day. Zhou Chengxing happened to be going to Yunlu City on business, so he asked his wife...

"I'm going to Yunlu City tomorrow. You and your daughter have nothing to do anyway, so why don't you come with me and have some fun?"

While you're at it, check out the shops to see if they have any suitable fabrics and jewelry to buy.

Su Jingshu, who was designing the curriculum for the girls' school, shook her head without hesitation.

"I'm busy."

Hearing his wife say she was busy, Zhou Chengxing looked at Su Jingshu with a wronged expression.

"Wife, going shopping with your husband and daughter is such an important thing, how could you not have time?"

Su Jingshu put down her pen and looked at Zhou Chengxing.

"Husband, the girls in the village are waiting to start school. We need to get things ready as soon as possible."

As you know, I've been drifting aimlessly and accomplishing nothing all these years, so I'm very happy to have the opportunity to do something within my capabilities.

You have something to do in Yunlu City tomorrow, so how about this: ask Ningbao if she's willing to go, and if so, you can take her along for some fun.

By the way, you need to go to the Prefect's residence to discuss matters with Lord Gu, so you can't keep an eye on Ningbao the whole time.

Mingcheng and Mingxin have classes tomorrow, so why don't you take Yuanzhi with you?

"Yuanzhi is a thoughtful child, so I feel at ease having him look after Ningbao."

Zhou Chengxing really wanted to go out and have fun with his wife.

But seeing how much she cared about the school, he couldn't bear to disturb her.

Zhou Chengxing nodded to his wife.

Okay, I understand.

"Honey, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Su Jingshu shook her head.

"No need, I don't need anything."

By the way, you need to tell the Mu family about taking Ningbao to Yunlu City tomorrow. You can only take her if they agree.

Zhou Chengxing immediately objected when he heard that he needed someone else's permission to take his daughter out.

"What kind of rule is this? Can't I even bring my own daughter?"

Su Jingshu smiled and comforted her husband, seeing his childish behavior.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about such a small thing."

Actually, our inquiry is just a formality. The Mu family has always been reasonable; as long as Ningbao is willing to go, they won't refuse.

I know you feel that the Mu family has taken away half of their daughter's love, but have you ever thought that our daughter has received twice the love from her parents?

Moreover, before we came along, they gave Ningbao a complete family and complete love.

So, you can't be so petty in the future.

Zhou Chengxing reluctantly nodded.

"Actually, I didn't take it to heart. I was just saying it casually."

After spending some time with his wife, Zhou Chengxing was kicked out.

He stepped out of his house and saw his little daughter, who was bent over at the neighbor's door, counting ants with her bottom sticking out.

"Ningbao, Dad is going to Yunlu City tomorrow. Do you want to come along and have some fun?"

Ning Bao thought for a moment,

"Dad is going out on business, right? Will it be alright for Ningbao to come along?"

Seeing how sensible his daughter was, Ningbao felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled gently at his little girl.

"No, Dad's just taking care of some errands and will be done in no time. Then I can take you shopping and buy you some delicious food and fun things."

Your mother said to send your third senior brother along. If your father is busy, he can accompany you.

Upon hearing that her third senior brother would accompany her, Ning Bao nodded without hesitation.

“Okay, okay, let’s go together, Third Senior Brother. He’s always been a kind person with lots of money. Ningbao loves shopping with him the most.”

Seeing his little daughter's greedy expression, Zhou Chengxing couldn't help but say...

"Ningbao, our family has a lot of money. Dad will give you some later so you can keep it for spending money."

We're girls, so remember not to spend other boys' money carelessly; they all have ulterior motives.

"Mmm." Ningbao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Don't worry, Father, Ningbao won't squander other boys' money."

Ningbao is going to use her own skills to steal all the boys' money...

After Ning Bao finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly shook her head.

"No, no, Ningbao wants to earn lots and lots of money herself."

Ningbao plays with his adoptive father, mother, grandparents, and also his master, senior brother, second senior brother…”

Zhou Chengxing: "…………"

well!

His daughter's little head seems to be different from other people's.

When the Mu family heard that Zhou Chengxing wanted to take Ningbao into the city, no one stopped him or told him to take good care of Ningbao or to be obedient.

After all, Ningbao is Zhou Chengxing's own daughter. As her father, he would definitely take good care of her when he takes her out to play.

Ningbao felt she should give her father a gift since her father wanted to take her to the city to enjoy the good life.

So Ningbao grabbed a handful of talismans from her bag and handed them to Zhou Chengxing.

"Dad, these are gifts from Ningbao. Ningbao drew them all by hand. Look, this is a peace talisman, this is an invisibility talisman, this is a flight talisman, this is a storage talisman, this is a lightning talisman..."

“Ningbao, the name of this talisman sounds pretty powerful, but your dad has never used it before and doesn’t know how to use it.”

Why don't you demonstrate it for me?

Ning Bao glanced at Zhou Chengxing, as if to say, "How come you don't even know how to use a talisman?"

So Ningbao simply dragged Zhou Chengxing to the back mountain, and the father and daughter stayed in the mountain for half a day. Ningbao used all the talismans in the stack of paper as if they were a test for Zhou Chengxing.
