"The prince is back, go and inform the princess."
Xiao Zhong quickly walked down the stone steps and greeted him with a smile, "Your Highness, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Su Xingyi got off the carriage and walked without stopping, saying as he walked, "How have the princess and the children been doing in the past two weeks?"
"Your Highness, the princess and the young masters are all well. Young Master Wen just finished his prefectural examination yesterday and was taken back to the Meng Mansion by the Meng family. Young Master Jie returned yesterday afternoon."
Su Xingyi was pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect him to come back so soon. Has he gained weight or lost weight?"
"Master Jie, he... in order to return before the Third Young Master's birthday, he rushed all the way here. An hour ago, he finished talking with the princess and then went back to Canglang Courtyard to rest."
Su Xingyi stopped, tilted his head to look at Xiao Zhong, and asked indifferently, "What's wrong with him? Has he lost weight or gained weight?"
"...He has gastrointestinal discomfort and has lost some weight. The princess said that he will gain weight again if he takes good care of himself for half a month." Xiao Zhong did not expect Su Xingyi to be so perceptive.
"Go inform the kitchen that our family will have dinner at Canglang Courtyard today."
After Su Xingyi finished speaking, he strode towards the main courtyard.
In the dark alley opposite the Princess's Mansion, Lu Yuan saw that the government's carriages had left and he didn't see the so-called masked man, and he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
Then he turned back to look for the person according to Su Xingyi's original route.
"Xiao Yu, I'm back." Su Xingyi put his ear to Xiao Lingyu's belly as soon as he entered the room. "Did you and Xiao Wu miss me?"
"you guess?"
Su Xingyi raised his head, looked into Xiao Lingyu's eyes, pursed his lips, protected Xiao Lingyu's belly, and leaned down, chuckling, "Then let me guess."
After saying that, he covered Xiao Lingyu's mouth with his mouth.
"Okay, Xiaowu and I both missed you." Xiao Lingyu nudged Su Xingyi's chest. "Xiaoxi'er should be here soon."
"...I won't kiss her when she comes."
Xiao Lingyu: ...
After a long time, Su Xingyi tilted his head and rubbed his ear for a moment before getting up satisfied.
"Did the trip go smoothly? How accepting are the villagers of rare ingredients?"
"It went quite smoothly. The tomato dishes at Luyuan Qionglou's magical vegetables became famous, and villagers in surrounding counties had heard about them. If it weren't for the limited seeds, every household would want to grow these rare ingredients."
Xiao Lingyu: "When the rare ingredients are grown, we will arrange people to harvest them, so that the villagers can see the actual benefits. Next year, more villagers will grow rare ingredients."
"Then the rare ingredients we collected will be provided to the restaurant?"
"First, we'll supply Luyuan Qionglou and Yulanxuan, then sell them to other restaurants and wealthy families. Then we'll distribute them to other counties. Within three years, the common people will be able to eat rare ingredients."
"We also need to build a large warehouse to store rare ingredients... After paying taxes to the court, the remaining silver we earn will be ours. There will be a lot of silver."
Xiao Lingyu was very happy just thinking about it. He had a lot of money and could never spend it all. He could just give birth to a few more children to spend it all.
As soon as Su Xingyi mentioned silver, Xiao Lingyu smiled happily. If he also had a fiefdom, Xiao Lingyu would have more silver in his private treasury.
"what's on your mind?"
"Oh, I heard that Brother Jie is back. The housekeeper said he has stomach problems and has lost weight while out there. Shall we go to Canglang Courtyard for dinner together?"
"Okay, let's go to Jianjia Garden to pick up Xiao Xier and then go there."
"Then let's call Yu Lan and Song Shuyi to come along."
"Yu Lan... forget it, she is far away in Xishui County." Xiao Lingyu didn't even write a letter to ask Xu Yu Lan to come.
"Didn't you say you wanted her to come and keep you company? Or were you trying to trick me into not writing to her?" Su Xingyi lowered the corners of his lips, obviously unhappy.
Xiao Lingyu quickly hooked her arms around his neck and coaxed him softly, "Alas, Yu Lanxuan is a little busy and can't get away. I know you care about me, so next time you go on a long journey, I'll call someone over in advance. Don't be unhappy, I'm fine."
Su Xingyi lowered his head and bit Xiao Lingyu hard. After a moment, he looked at the sparkling eyes in front of him with a burning gaze, "If you can coax me like you did just now tonight, I'll be happy."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and patted his chest. "You're dreaming. Let's go pick up Xiao Xier and Song Shuyi. Also, call your master. We'll go to Canglangyuan for a family dinner."
"Master hasn't come back yet. He went to Shili Langyao Hot Spring Villa on the way and will rest there for a few days."
When he arrived at Canglang Courtyard, Su Xingyi was bumped into by Su Ningjie.
"Daddy, I miss you."
"Daddy misses you too." Su Xingyi touched Su Ningjie's back, which clearly didn't feel thick and fleshy. He quickly pulled him away from his arms, looked down, and took a breath. "Why are you so thin?"
Su Xingyi felt distressed. He thought that he was just a little thinner, but how could he look like he would fall over if the wind blew?
"Daddy, don't worry. I don't have diarrhea anymore. I'll grow back."
Su Xingyi picked up Su Ningjie and quickly walked into the flower hall and sat at the dining table.
Soon, a large table of food was placed on the table.
Su Xingyi fed Su Ningjie mouthful by mouthful, wishing he could fatten him up in one meal.
"Mother."
Xiao Lingyu quickly picked up a piece of shrimp and stuffed it into Xiao Xier's mouth.
Xiao Lingyu also did not forget to put a few dishes into Song Shuyi's bowl.
Song Shuyi watched Su Xingyi carefully feeding Su Ningjie, and thought that his brother was also fed in the same way.
Thinking of this, Song Shuyi's guilt was alleviated a little.
Fortunately, he picked up his brother when he fell off the cliff and raised him, so he didn't starve.
