Chapter 222 Home

There is a huge lotus pond in the center of the courtyard. In the pond, goldfish of various colors swim around, swaying their colorful satin tails, looking happy and free.

The lotus leaves gradually began to turn green, uneven and staggered, the whole place full of green, which was very pleasing to the eyes.

"A Luo, is this our home?"

Pei Luoshu hugged Chen Shiyi.

"Well, this is my home with you."

“You put a lot of thought into it.”

"That's as it should be. The word 'home', when broken down, means a roof over a pig's home that provides shelter from the wind and rain. So if a man wants to marry a wife, he should naturally build a nest. This has been a matter of course since ancient times and is not worthy of praise. The four words 'shelter from the wind and rain' do not just refer to a place, but also to a protective act. If a man does not have these two abilities, then he is not qualified to marry a wife."

Chen Shiyi laughed when he heard Pei Luoshu's strange opinion.

"What if the wind and rain are brought by men? Should the woman marry or not?"

"This has risen to another level. However, we need to look at wind and rain in detail. Some can indeed bring disasters, but others are a testimony of two people going hand in hand, sharing joys and sorrows, and walking hand in hand for a lifetime. There is no good or bad thing. It depends on how the person who uses it uses it."

Chen Shiyi hugged his waist and leaned on his shoulders and neck.

"In the past few years, I have been thinking about how to make money, but I haven't thought about how to spend it. Let's go out and spend money today?"

"good."

The two got on the carriage, but didn't know where to go?

Chen Shiyi blinked and looked at Pei Luoshu.

Pei Luoshu looked embarrassed.

"My dear, I seldom go out for fun, and I don't really know what places are interesting."

Fu Feng outside immediately spoke.

"Sir, there are people who listen to opera and sing music in the Fuxing Teahouse."

Pei Luo asked Chen Shiyi.

"Are you going?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"go."

When the shopkeeper of Fuxing Teahouse received the prefect's carriage, he immediately sent people to clear the place and respectfully welcomed them to the second-floor chamber. He immediately put on a recently arranged and beautiful performance and even asked the actor with the best singing voice to return to the stage to sing.

Chen Shiyi seldom comes to such occasions. Most of the time, it is Jingran and Changyi who come. They often meet with their partners to discuss business, and I occasionally hear them talking about it.

Now, I have no burden at all. I can take some time out from my busy schedule with my husband to experience the beauty of this bustling world.

She also likes it very much. After all, singing and dancing are a pleasure for the eyes and ears. It makes people feel warm to listen to it and excited to watch it.

She leaned on Pei Luo's shoulder and felt extremely comfortable both physically and mentally at this moment.

Pei Luoshu looked at her wanton expression and smiled.

"Do you like it? I'll come here with you more often in the future."

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"No, no matter how good something is, if you come into contact with it too much, you will get bored. I used to love eating fish so much. That time I went out to sea, I ate all the fish in my life at once. Now when I see fish, I just want to vomit. It's better to keep the things I like a secret. Once in a while, that's enough."

Pei Luoshu strongly disagreed.

"I like you, so I won't get tired of it. I feel like this life is not enough, and it won't be enough in the next life or the next."

Chen Shiyi raised her beautiful eyes and looked up at Pei Luoshu.

"I thought what County Captain An said was glib, and I think you're no better than him."

Pei Luoshu looked aggrieved.

"I speak from the bottom of my heart, not in a glib way."

Chen Shiyi laughed softly.

"Yes, smooth-talking, heartfelt words."

Pei Luoshu quickly held up Chen Shiyi's cheeks and looked into her eyes.

"I rarely hear you say you like me, come on and say a few words to comfort me..."

"There are so many people outside here."

"What's wrong with so many people? They can't see us, and the other guests have all left."

Chen Shiyi still refused.

Pei Luoshu hugged her and kissed her until Chen Shiyi nodded in agreement.

"Okay, stop making a fuss. I'll tell you. Isn't that enough?"

"Then tell me quickly."

Chen Shiyi rolled his eyes around and hugged his belly.

"I think I drank a little too much tea."

Pei Luoshu held her on his lap and whispered hoarsely in her ear.

"Playing dirty? Then I can only think of other ways to make you beg for mercy."

Chen Shiyi realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to comfort him.

"A Luo, I will love you forever and ever."

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"Well, what can I do? It's too late."

Chen Shiyi snorted.

"Don't be so ungrateful."

Pei Luoshu spoke shamelessly.

"Well, that's who I am."

Chen Shiyi was so angry that he laughed.

The two of them were talking and joking, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Chen Shiyi found it strange. The two of them had only exchanged a few words and were affectionate for a while, but the moment lasted from morning till dusk.

How come time suddenly passes so quickly?

Pei Luoshu was still thinking about taking her out to play tomorrow. Tonight, he carefully asked others if there were any fun places.

Everyone was there for dinner.

Her friends all rushed over from Anzhou and Huaizhou a few days ago, and Lan Qinghe and Cui Yongan have been here for two days, and even Mo Xunyan and Mrs. Lan have been brought here.

They ate together and it was very lively.

Chen Shiyi asked Cui Yongan.

"What was the gift I asked you to prepare last time? I haven't even noticed it yet."

Everyone at the table looked at Cui Yongan with amusement.

Cui Yongan had a strange look on his face and his voice was a little loud.

"You've been thinking about my gift, don't worry, I saved a year's salary just to give you a gift, I promise you won't let me down."

Mo Xunyan glared at him.

"Why are you so loud? Are you feeling guilty?"

Cui Yongan shrank his neck awkwardly and dared not speak.

Chen Shiyi's eyes moved slightly.

Cui Yongan is a person who doesn't care about other people's lives, but there is a day when he is afraid of others.

And the person he was afraid of was Mo Xunyan.

Chen Shiyi smiled knowingly, and finally someone had to look after him.

She turned around and spoke to Mrs. Lan beside her.

"Should I also prepare a big gift?"

Mrs. Lan whispered in Chen Shiyi's ear and covered her lips with her hand.

"I've said before that Cui Yongan would never trade at a loss, but I don't know if it will happen in the future. He's even more demanding in gifts."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Well, you're right. We should be wary of him."

Lan Qinghe asked with a smile.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Cui Yongan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Who else can complain? I was right."

Mo Xunyan sighed aside.

"Eleven, we have to go back to the Northwest tomorrow. We have been away for too long and there are many students waiting for me to teach them."

The Northwest is poor, and not many families can afford to send their children to school. Mo Xunyan opened his own school and did not charge tuition. He only taught them a few words so that they would not be ignorant of everything. When Chen Shiyi heard this, he allocated some money from the border trade, built a school, and waived tuition.

Even so, the number of people who come to learn to read and write is still very small, and the older children are important labor forces in the family.

People's prejudice and ignorance change little by little. Having children is not just to have another capable person in the family. After all, they are also human beings who need a future and aspirations.

The road to finding Sister Yan is long and arduous.
