Chapter 250 Princess: My Manman is finally here

"Completely, completely, Xie Youqi, you are really a guy who values ​​women over friends!" Zhou Zhongan was so angry at Xie Hui that his teeth itched.

Shen Yuan had agreed with Xie Hui that he would go to his house on the 21st, and it would be even better if he didn't have to be on duty. The pigs that Shen Yuan had originally wanted to raise when he went to the farm to play were slaughtered two days ago. At the end of the year, every household began to slaughter pigs, and the servants on the farm also asked the butcher to slaughter the pigs. Part of the pork was sent back, and part was said to be pickled bacon. In addition, a lot of dried vegetables, sausages and other things were also sent. Shen Yuan thought that he hadn't been to the Princess's Mansion for a long time, so he might as well take this opportunity to send the things and then have a meal.

Mrs. Chen on the farm has gained some experience in raising pigs. These pigs are not kept in a pigpen. They are allowed to run around every day, so the meat tastes better. The Shen family has been eating braised pork, spare ribs, and pig's trotters in turn these days.

"Manman! I missed you so much. Why did you bring so many things with you? You are here just to go home. Don't bring things with you next time."

"Aunt, this is not something expensive. It's a pig raised on my farm. I think it tastes good, so I wanted to bring it to you to try. I only brought it because it's from my family."

"Really? Then I have to taste it carefully. Gardenia, go and tell the kitchen to prepare the food that Manman brought." The princess gave instructions while pushing Shen Yuan inside.

Xie Hui clearly entered the house with Manman, and he didn't even know whether his mother saw him.

"It's been almost a month since I last saw you, right? This brat has only seen you a few times, but he doesn't even think about me. He's always thinking about our Jia Manman!"

Xie Hui responded without hesitation: "I remember you and my dad went to the hot springs and had a lot of fun."

Princess Kangle snorted, "If you bring Manman with you, then I won't go, right?"

"Aunt, I heard that soaking in hot springs more often is good for your health. Besides, it would be better if you and uncle go out together and my brother is not around to bother you for a while."

Princess Kangle mentally added a hot spring villa to the betrothal gift list, and then said to Shen Yuan: "There is a time limit, or he is too old to wear open-crotch pants, and he doesn't like to go out with me and his father."

Xie Hui tried to stop her with a dark face, “Mom, can you please stop talking nonsense?” What about open-crotch pants? Xie Hui felt that if his whole family could hear such words, it would damage his image.

"Tsk, you're still embarrassed." Princess Kangle glanced at her son with a smile, but she did not continue talking about what she had just said. Instead, she told Shen Yuan about the clinic.

"Manman is really amazing. When the Medical Clinic opened, I asked the ladies to buy things from it. They all looked down on it and just pretended to be nice to me. But after using the things from the Medical Clinic, they keep saying they want to buy more from it."

"It's not my credit. I don't know any medical skills and can't run a clinic. But I still have to thank my aunt for bringing many people to buy things from the Women's Medical Clinic."

"Of course not. This clinic can't be opened without you. Don't be so self-deprecating. You don't know how jealous those ladies are of me. Don't mention it. My family has never had to worry about me since I was a child. Come, I will give you a cake as a reward."

When the cakes were served, Princess Kangle pushed them all in front of Shen Yuan. She then pinched a piece of jujube-leafed medicinal cake from the plate and handed it to her son.

"Here you are, do you still want your mother to feed you?"

Shen Yuan covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Xie Hui took the yam cake with a helpless look on his face, "Thank you, mother."

"You're welcome. Come, eat more. This Longjing tea ball is freshly made by the kitchen. It's not greasy. Eat more."

If Shen Yuan didn't come back, Xie would have to go home with a full stomach. The sun was out outside today, and when Xie Hui sent Shen Yuan home in the afternoon, he didn't take a carriage. The two of them strolled slowly along the street, and the carriage was waiting in front of them. They would take a ride when they were too lazy to leave.

Today is the 21st. The 26th is the last court session of the year. There are still a few days in between, so Xie Hui wanted to go south to see if he could find wild geese. He also told Shen Yuan about this.

However, Shen Yuan felt that it was not worth it to go to the south to catch a pair of wild geese in order to propose marriage. "But it's very cold in the north now. Even if you catch them and bring them back, you will suffer, and the wild geese will feel uncomfortable too. Forget it. There's no need for us to follow common sense when proposing marriage!"

Wild geese are loyal, so when many families propose marriage, the man will bring a pair of live wild geese. Therefore, there are people who specialize in raising wild geese, and there are some in the capital. However, those that are caught outside are more genuine than those that are bought. After all, if you don’t have some skills, you can’t catch them.

"I heard that Granny Chen's geese are also very loyal. Who would bully a female goose? A male goose can chase people and pinch their butts. What's more, geese are good-looking and majestic!" Shen Yuan thought of the scene: two big white geese with their heads held high walking at the front of the marriage proposal team, quacking as they walked. They were definitely more attractive than wild geese.

"Brother Youqi, please prepare two big geese for me. I like big geese."

Although Xie Hui didn't know why, he immediately agreed, "I will pick two of the most beautiful geese for Manman."

"Just go buy two. Don't go out and catch them yourself. I'm afraid you'll get bit by a goose."

"Don't worry, I understand."

As they were walking, Shen Yuan suddenly stopped. She pulled Xie Hui and said, "Brother Youqi, look, is that Zhou Shaoyin in front? The one next to him is..." Only when the girl turned around did Shen Yuan see clearly.

"Miss Su."

The two people over there also saw Shen Yuan and Xie Hui. Zhou Zhongan quickly came forward and said something sarcastic to Xie Hui, "You are living a good life, unlike me who still has to patrol the streets here."

Shen Yuan and Su Ciyin were just nodding acquaintances. They greeted each other and nothing else happened. Just as Su Ciyin was about to leave, Zhou Zhongan stopped her and said, "Don't you want this purse anymore? If not, I'll throw it away."

Just now Zhou Zhongan was patrolling the streets. The New Year was coming soon and the people had saved up a year's money and were going out to buy New Year's goods. Every year at this time there were many pickpockets, so Jingzhao Prefecture had people on standby everywhere. Zhou Zhongan happened to see a pickpocket stealing Su Ciyin's purse, so he stepped forward and stopped him.

Su Ciyin went out to meet friends today, so she didn't bring any guards. She didn't expect to be robbed even when walking on the street. However, the purse was just a decoration, and there was nothing inside. It had been touched by the thief and Zhou Zhongan before. She thanked Zhou Zhongan, but she didn't want the purse anymore. She was about to ask the maid to bring it back when she ran into Shen Yuan and Xie Hui. She forgot to say it when they interrupted her.

"Ah Zheng, bring your purse back.

After the maid took the purse back, she nodded to a few people and left.

After she left, Zhou Zhongan curled his lips and said, "Look, my mother still asked me to meet someone. It would be strange if someone liked me."
