Chapter 469 Going Out to Relax
The arrival of Cheng Lesheng and Axiang surprised Wen Zhenyi a little.
Seeing Cheng Lesheng's appearance, Shen Hanxing patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's good. How can it be good to have Axiang and the child with me?"
"It's reassuring to hear you say that."
Wen Zhenyi pulled Axiang aside to chat, and happily took his brothers and sisters to play with Changmingbaisui.
"Axiang, how are you doing lately?"
"After you left, he was sad for a long time. He's only gotten better recently. I suggested we go out for a walk, and he agreed."
"Where are you planning to go?"
"We plan to travel around and have a look. We originally wanted to take the children with us, but now they are old enough to go to school, and I don't know if it is appropriate for them to travel around with us."
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid it will affect their studies."
"Are you planning to let them pass the imperial examinations?"
"I haven't thought about that."
"In that case, it would be a good idea for you to take them with you to have a look. You can all read, so it's not impossible for you to teach the children on the way."
"You're right."
"It's good to go out for a walk and have a look. If you come across anything interesting, remember to write and tell me."
"Okay, our family business will be temporarily handed over to Uncle Cheng, the housekeeper, to manage. If you need anything, please go to him. We have already told him."
"I know. When do we leave?"
"I'll come and see you today and then leave."
"So anxious?"
"Not really. When Dad was still around, I wanted to visit some of the places he mentioned, but his health kept relapsing, so I didn't dare take him."
"Alright, be careful on your way."
Axiang nodded.
Wen Zhenyi and Shen Hanxing felt a little disappointed after seeing Cheng Lesheng and his family off.
Xixi watched the carriage go away and asked: "Mom, will my brother and sister be gone for a long time?"
"I don't know about that."
"Well, I'm going to miss them."
Wen Zhenyi touched her little head and said, "Mom will miss them too."
Huanhuan tilted her head and asked, "Will they buy us gifts?"
Shen Hanxing and Wen Zhenyi glanced at each other and burst out laughing twice.
Huan Huan's face was full of confusion: "Is there something wrong?"
Wen Zhenyi scratched his nose: "Why are you thinking about gifts already?"
"That means they're thinking of me!"
Shen Hanxing rubbed his little head: “You kid.”
Xixi also covered her mouth and laughed.
Wen Zhenyi saw the four playing in the back and said: "Go play with Changmingbaisui and Cream Cocoa."
"Okay." The two children ran away holding hands.
Shen Hanxing put his arm around her shoulders: "I hope he can cheer up soon."
"Mr. Cheng's departure was a huge blow to him. He didn't think he was that reliable before, but now he feels that he is quite pitiful."
"Master Cheng holds a very important place in his heart. Even though he always makes his father mad, he is a very important person in his heart."
"Life must go on. No one stays young forever." He looked at the two children playing behind him and said, "These two little guys have grown up without us even noticing."
Chen Hanxing looked at the four children rolling around in a ball and said, "Yeah, time flies."
Ma Yinghe came back from outside and saw two people blocking the door: "What are you two doing standing at the door?"
Wen Zhen turned around and saw her coming in with a lot of things: "Mom, where are you coming from?"
"I'm going to Caidie's shop to get a facial mask!"
Wen Zhenyi looked at her carefully and said, "Your skin is really moisturized."
Ma Yinghe was very happy: "Yeah! I think my skin has improved too."
"Is her shop open?"
"No, the bed you asked her to make was finished, and she asked your grandmother and I to try it out. If it wasn't suitable, she wanted to have it modified."
“How’s the effect?”
"The height and size are perfect. Oh, and she also learned some kind of massage from Shi Xuan and Song Lang, and she tried it on us. It's so comfortable."
Shen Hanxing let them chat and went back to the yard to read.
Wen Zhenyi looked at her with a smile: "Really?"
"Yeah, ask Caidie to give it a try someday. I suddenly realized it's really a treat! Try it someday too."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll try it another day. Didn't she buy someone?"
"Those little girls still have a lot to learn. I think it'll take them a while."
"Mom, you seem dissatisfied with their craftsmanship."
"It's not that I'm not satisfied, but I just started to feel that my technique is a little off. Maybe it's just the beginning, but it will get better in the future."
"Give them some time."
"Yiyi, was this shop an idea for Caidie?"
"I just helped her broaden her horizons. The rest was all she did on her own."
"I heard you even had flowers planted. What are they for?"
"To make rouge, powder, and perfume."
"I can understand rouge and powder, but what about this perfume?"
"Mom, do you remember that we have a warehouse for storing the prepared pancreas?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. There are still a lot of these things in that room, and I didn't hear you say what they were for."
"This is the raw material for making scented soap. I didn't touch it before because I was short of materials."
"What's missing?"
"It's not that I'm short of anything, but I feel that the ones I made are almost the same as those sold on the market, so I don't really want to sell them, so I've kept them until now."
"It's been so long, is it still usable?"
"Sure. After Uncle Xiong Lu and the others finish making the products, I will take them to the workshop in the county town."
"Is your workshop in the county town finished?"
"I asked Master Chang to help me build it. Now I'm still waiting for his news. If he finishes building it, I'll be busy."
"Take us there to broaden our horizons."
"Think about it, I'll take you all with me then."
"I also want to see what these things you asked Xiong Lu to make are used for."
Wen Zhenyi spent more time with his children while the workshop was not yet completed, and also took them to the town and county to visit their grandmother and brother.
Now Changmingbaisui has grown into a big clouded leopard, but he is not as cute as he was when he was a child, and his eyes are full of murderous intent.
However, sometimes they also have a common problem among cats, which is that they are easily startled and often scare themselves.
Sometimes the family members would be startled by their sudden movements.
These two guys are now taller than Wen Zhenyi when they stand up, and their favorite thing to do is to suddenly pounce on her back.
But there is no need to worry about them attacking Wen Zhenyi, because their claws are retracted into their thick pads. They just pounce on her back and lick her with their barbed tongues.
At this time, Wen Zhenyi would look at it and ask, "Why? Do you want to taste it and see if it suits your taste?"
