With a tall and straight figure, handsome and deep facial features, and a calm and composed temperament, Xiao San would stand out from the crowd even in the imperial capital where many handsome men gather, not to mention in a small village like Lijiazhuang.

People are visual animals, especially women. Which girl doesn't like to be coquettish? Shen Yizhi is no exception, otherwise he wouldn't have picked Xiao San out of the many intelligent puppets at first sight, right? "Ladies and girls, don't be impatient, come one by one." Xiao San said in a gentle voice.

With Xiao San's patient and professional analysis, everyone's demands were satisfactorily resolved and they all left satisfied.

Shen Yizhi watched from the side and nodded secretly.

As the reputation of Shen’s Medical Clinic grew, more and more people came to seek medical treatment.

As the number of people increases, the demand also increases.

The people of Lijiazhuang naturally have advantages. If they can seize the opportunities and work harder, it will not be difficult for them to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Some people have already taken the lead, and I believe more and more people will join in the future.

Lijiazhuang seems to be heading towards becoming an economic town.

All of this was what Shen Yizi was happy to see.

However, the speed is still a little slow, she still needs more manpower...

Imperial capital.

In the garden pavilion of Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Gu Xueting is feeding Xiaoman.

Xiaoman has grown a little bigger now, and some fine hairs have grown on her body, which is no longer as bald as it was at the beginning.

It raised its head and opened its tender yellow mouth, waiting for Gu Xueting to feed it.

He scooped a spoonful of meat porridge with a small spoon and fed it to its mouth with a smile on his face.

A tall white figure walked over gracefully and opened his mouth to make people laugh: "I say, why are you smiling so charmingly at a little bird?"

It was Su Chaiyu, the only person Gu Xueting could call a friend.

Gu Xueting glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to feed Xiaoman.

Su Chaiyu came over, laid on the stone table and stared at Xiaoman for a while, "Why did you think of raising a bird? If you want to raise one, you should raise a good-looking one. This one is too ugly...ah——"

Before he could finish his words, Xiaoman pecked his hand unexpectedly.

Of course, the pain wasn't that severe, it was just too sudden.

Who could have thought that Xiaoman would do this suddenly, as if she understood what he said and fought back.

After pecking the person, Xiaoman immediately moved towards Gu Xueting, fearing that Su Chaiyu would retaliate against it.

Su Chaiyu: “…”

This little bird is quite smart.

He stretched out his pecked hand to Gu Xueting and complained: "Look, I pecked your bird. I don't care. You have to compensate me. For the sake of our friendship, I won't pay you with money. Just use the food that Sister Yizhi sent you."

The purpose is exposed.

Gu Xueting uttered two words coldly and ruthlessly: "No."

Su Chaiyu covered his heart with one hand and pointed at him with the other hand complaining: "Xingzhou, how could you do this to me? It's so sad..."

His tone was so mournful that if you didn't know better you would have thought that Gu Xueting had cheated on him.

Gu Xueting's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but doubt his original judgment. How did he become friends with this guy? Is it too late to break up now?

Obviously impossible.

Su Chaiyu has made up his mind to rely on him, of course, the main reason is the food made by Shen Yizi.

Gu Xueting flicked his hand across the table, and four kinds of food appeared out of thin air.

Braised edamame, braised beef in soy sauce, soft and crispy crucian carp, and twice-cooked chicken.

The first three dishes were cold, but the last one, twice-cooked chicken, was still hot, as if it had just come out of the pot, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Su Chaiyu took a deep sniff, showing an intoxicated expression, and without saying a word, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Gu Xueting took out another pot of osmanthus wine and filled each of their cups.

Looking at his own porridge and then comparing it with the four delicious dishes on the table, Xiaoman lay on the table, feeling autistic.

And refused Gu Xueting's feeding.

"Are you full?" Gu Xueting touched its belly, which was bulging. He thought it was full, so he stopped feeding it to avoid upsetting its little stomach.

Pick it up gently and put it in the small basket.

Xiaoman looked at the food on the table eagerly and called out twice, her voice soft and tender.

Su Chaiyu picked up a small piece of fish and put it to its mouth: "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiaoman flapped his tender little wings and tried hard to reach his neck.

"Xiao Man is still young, don't feed it anything else."

Su Chaiyu chuckled. He had no intention of feeding the bird. He was just teasing it. It was quite interesting to see it stretching its neck.

Gu Xueting glanced at him and said, "If you provoke Xiaoman again, you won't be able to eat."

Su Chaiyu took back his chopsticks in dismay and sighed in a sentimental manner: "Oh, how miserable! We have been friends for so many years, but now my position in your heart is not as high as that of a bird cub."

There was a look of sadness on his face, but he wielded the chopsticks too skillfully.

Gu Xueting stroked Xiaoman gently and said, "The stone egg that Master gave me back then has hatched and is Xiaoman."

Su Chaiyu paused while chewing: "Is it true? When? How was it hatched?"

Gu Xueting told him what had happened.

There is also a series of events that happened after Shen Yizi came to the palace this time.

Su Chaiyu was a little overwhelmed by receiving so much information at once, but this did not prevent him from enjoying the food.

He finished eating half of the twice-cooked chicken before he said, "So, this girl is the woman from four years ago, and Qingbao is also your biological son?"

"That's right." Gu Xueting nodded with a smile.

Su Chaiyu thought to himself, this is truly a unique fate.

"Then when are you going to bring them here?" If Yi Zhi's sister comes, won't he be able to eat here every day? Gu Xueting shook his head: "There is one thing that has not been dealt with."

Su Chaiyu immediately thought of it: "Pei Qi? That's right, this woman dared to pretend to be Yizhi's sister, and she has done so many dirty things in private in the past few years relying on your name. If it weren't for you, I would have taught her a lesson long ago. But she turned out to be a fake, and I don't know where she got the nerve to do such a thing.

"But then again, how did she know about your past with Sister Yizhi? And how did she recognize the jade pendant that Sister Yizhi left behind?"

Gu Xueting drank a glass of wine, his expression cold, "Obviously, she and Zhizhi were originally very close. But Zhizhi was seriously injured four years ago and ended up in Lijiazhuang, where she lost her memory. It's hard to guarantee that she had something to do with this."

Speak of the devil and he will appear.
