Inside the Hou Mansion
"Brother, this is the nourishing soup that mother prepared for you personally, drink it quickly~" Shang Yangyang pointed at the soup in Shuang Ning's hand.
"Okay, thank you Yangyang. You are so busy every day, but you still remember to bring me some nourishing soup."
"Hehe, big brother is going to take the exam soon. I will never forget big brother no matter how busy I am."
Shang Yanqing raised the corners of his mouth high, smiling happily: "It has to be our Yangyang."
"Hehe~" Shang Yangyang sat there and stared at Shang Yanqing drinking the tonic soup. She reached out and patted Shang Yanqing on the shoulder. "Brother, you can't just study blindly, especially for the imperial examination, you need to understand the people's sentiments~"
Shang Yanqing put down the bowl of soup with a look of surprise on his face: "How come our Yangyang knows so much?"
Shang Yangyang put her hands behind her back with a profound look. "I know a lot."
Then Shang Yangyang's inner voice came: [Hehe, I just heard my grandfather and others say that there are still students who only know how to study hard and don't know how to understand the people's sentiments and needs. ]
Shang Yanqing suppressed his smile and did not expose the proud Shang Yangyang. "Our Yangyang is right. Big brother, I really need to understand the people's sentiments."
"Yeah, that's right." Shang Yangyang stared at Shang Yanqing with shining eyes.
Shang Yanqing felt something was wrong, and asked, "Yangyang, what are you going to do?"
"Hehe, big brother, let's go and understand what the people need now." Shang Yangyang's eyes lit up.
"Brother, remember not to study too much~"
In the end, Shang Yanqing couldn't resist Shang Yangyang's pleading anymore, and took Shang Yangyang out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Shang Yangyang seemed to have a destination. She took Shang Yanqing and walked in big strides on the street.
Shang Yangyang didn't stop until she reached the gate of Ruyi Ju.
【Hehe, red bean paste, here I come. 】
Shang Yanqing looked at Shang Yangyang lovingly: "Yangyang, do you want to eat red bean paste?"
Shang Yangyang nodded, then shook his head. "Second brother, come in with me."
"Da da da~" Shang Yangyang dragged Shang Yanqing to the private room on the second floor. The moment the door opened, Shang Yanqing saw the person he had been thinking about.
"Dream Pear~"
The two men met eyes and stared at each other.
Shang Yangyang covered her mouth and giggled, closed the door of the private room, skipped to the table and sat down, took the red bean paste on the table and started drinking it.
At this moment, she took a bite of red bean paste and a bite of rose cake, and they tasted delicious.
The excited atmosphere on the side was disrupted by Shang Yangyang's "thin" voice, and Shang Yangyang also noticed this. "Why don't I go out?"
"No." Shen Mengli's face turned red, and she reached out to stop Shang Yangyang.
Shang Yanqing smiled and said, "Yangyang, just stay with me and your sister-in-law for a while. If the food is not enough, I will give you some."
"Hehe, great! I also want to eat shredded chicken noodles and sour plum soup~"
"Okay." Shang Yanqing quickly ordered food for Shang Yangyang, and the room returned to silence again.
Shen Mengli put the folded talisman in her hand into Shang Yanqing's hand. "My mother and I went to the Dadao Temple outside the city a few days ago. This is the amulet I asked for for you."
Shang Yanqing couldn't help but smile when he heard that he was holding a talisman in his hand, and carefully put it away. "Thank you."
Shen Mengli took out another set of four treasures of the study. "I know you can prepare all these, but I just want to help you prepare them."
"Unfortunately, I just didn't prepare any writing materials, ink, paper, or inkstone for the exam."
Shen Mengli: "That's just right for use."
"Uh-huh."
Shang Yangyang ate the rose cake in his hand, staring at the two of them. [Big brother, this isn't a lie, right? It's true that he didn't prepare it himself, but mother did prepare it for him~]
Shang Yanqing scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts. Fortunately, the little guy only muttered in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
There was a knock on the door, and it was the waiter coming in with shredded chicken noodles and sour plum soup.
"Here, here." Shang Yangyang pointed in front of him, signaling the waiter to put the things in front of him.
The waiter quickly put the noodles and sour plum soup in place and left the room.
Shang Yangyang sniffed the aroma of the shredded chicken noodles. "Wow~" Shang Yangyang picked up a mouthful of noodles, blew on it vigorously and put it into his mouth. As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, Shang Yangyang's little face was full of satisfaction.
This did not affect the two people looking at each other lovingly.
Shen Mengli: "Yan Qing, they said we are not allowed to meet before marriage, but I just miss you so much."
"I miss you too. In fact, even if you didn't let Yangyang take me out today, I would still go to see you in the next two days."
Shang Yangyang was eating noodles and listening to the young couple talking about how they missed each other. She ate with gusto and before she knew it, she had finished the big bowl of shredded chicken noodles. She then picked up the sour plum soup beside her and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow~" Shang Yangyang patted her belly in satisfaction. [I am the smartest one. I am worried that I have eaten too much and I know to drink sour plum soup to help digestion. ]
“Hehe~”
Shang Yanqing, who heard Shang Yangyang's inner voice, looked over. "Yangyang, have you eaten all?"
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously. "We can't waste food."
Shang Yanqing was speechless for a moment. Shang Yangyang had said there was nothing wrong with not wasting food, but how could her little stomach hold so much food?
Shen Mengli: "Yangyang, is your stomach bloated? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable~" Shang Yangyang said, jumping from the bench to the ground. Suddenly, she felt her stomach sinking. "It seems a little bloated."
Shang Yanqing shook his head helplessly. "Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk to help you digest your food."
"Brother isn't chatting with sister-in-law anymore?"
Shen Mengli stepped forward and pinched Shang Yangyang's little face: "We're done talking, let's go."
"Great~" Shang Yangyang stretched out her little hand and held Shen Mengli's hand, and the three of them left Ruyi Residence together.
"Miss, it's time for us to go back home." Shen Mengli's personal maid Xiaoling came running over.
"Okay." Shen Mengli turned and looked at Shang Yanqing behind her. "Then I'll leave."
"Yeah." Although Shang Yanqing was reluctant, he did not force her to stay. It was already good enough that they could meet today. He didn't want people to talk about Shen Mengli because of his reluctance.
Shang Yangyang: "Goodbye, Sister Mengli."
"Bye." Shen Mengli said and was about to get on the carriage. She suddenly remembered something and ran to Shang Yanqing.
She whispered in Shang Yanqing's ear, "When you finish your exams, remember to come and marry me." After that, Shen Mengli ran onto the carriage with a red face.
Shang Yanqing stood there, staring at the carriage with a silly smile on his face. Even after the carriage drove away, Shang Yanqing was still standing there stupidly.
Shang Yangyang heard everything just now, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly. [Hehe, big brother is so happy now. ]
Shang Yanqing: "Let's go, accompany me to understand the people's sentiments."
"Hehe, okay~"
Shang Yanqing took Shang Yangyang for a stroll on the street to help her digest her food, but what they didn't know was that in an alley, a carriage was parked there, and the driver had already died.
