Life at the Cheng family went on as usual, except that Cheng Wen had a new apprentice who would come home from time to time to eat.
The old couple also have some free time, as someone else is doing the housework.
Gu Xuelan manages Ruyi Manor very well and is currently trying to figure out how to convince Xue Hanyu to let her go and learn something.
Cheng Wen patiently taught his young apprentice, and at the same time continued to learn from Cheng Yue.
While Cheng Wu was working in the yamen, he was also studying the books given to him by Ji Mingxuan.
In addition to studying every day, Cheng Jinyan still thinks about Mingzhu and how to win Mingzhu's favor.
Cheng Jinxing was trained by his master in the yamen during the day. After returning home at night, he was not only trained by his uncle but also had to take care of his big creditor, his aunt, and help her learn whipping techniques.
As for Cheng Yue, she was taking care of her pregnancy peacefully. She would write and draw when she had nothing to do. She lived a very comfortable life.
Shanshui is arranging various matters at home in an orderly manner after he goes to Jiangnan, so as not to let Cheng Yue worry.
Master Li is no idler in the Cheng family. She helped Cheng Yue and Manager Fang to deal with several emergencies in the Women's Workshop and taught Manager Fang a lot of things. After returning home at night, she became a qualified master and taught Xue Hanyu to practice the piano.
She did not mention her son again. If she did not mention it, Xue Hanyu and Cheng Yue would not bring it up on their own initiative.
As for Xue Hanyu, it's a bit troublesome.
After Xie Yuling followed Huang Shaolan to visit Xue Hanyu, something was wrong with her.
That day was the third day of November. The owner of the grilled fish restaurant was fully capable of handling the affairs, so Huang Shaolan brought Xie Yuling to the Cheng family. She came to play with Cheng Yue, and when Xie Yuling knew about it, she followed her.
Xie Yuling didn't expect to meet Xue Hanyu here.
She recognized Xue Hanyu.
Although her father, the Right Prime Minister, and Xue Hanyu's father, the Left Prime Minister, had different political views, they had no conflicts as daughters, especially since Xue Hanyu did not grow up in the capital.
"Miss Xue, are you really going to marry the Prince of Nan'an?"
Xie Yuling found an opportunity to talk to Xue Hanyu alone and asked.
"Ah? No? My father did mention it before, but because my grandmother passed away, I had to observe a year of mourning. My father wrote to me once during that time, but he didn't mention this matter."
Xue Hanyu was stunned, then said.
"But Miss Xue San, under the guise of being the sister-in-law of the Prince of Nan'an, has been telling people at various gatherings that you and the Prince of Nan'an will be getting married next year."
Xie Yuling said.
"Miss Xue San? Are you talking about Hongyu?"
Xue Hanyu thought for a while before he remembered the name of Miss Xue San's third sister.
Her mother only gave birth to her, but her stepmother gave birth to four children, one son and three daughters. Her father's concubines also gave birth to many daughters, but there was only one son, born to her stepmother.
After she arrived in Jiangnan, she never went back except for one visit when she was eleven years old for her grandmother's fiftieth birthday. Therefore, she was really not familiar with the Xue family.
"Um."
Xie Yuling was stunned, but when she thought about how Xue Hanyu had grown up, she could understand her slow reaction.
"I, I didn't agree to marry the Prince of Nan'an."
Xue Hanyu pursed her lips and said somewhat depressedly.
"Parents' orders, matchmaker's agreement."
Xie Yuling suddenly looked at the girl in front of her who had the same status as her with some pity.
