Chapter 159 Warm House

The little girl narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and nodded, "It's delicious!"

Seeing her happy, Chang Zhang also became happy. After she finished eating a piece of buttered abalone, Chang Zhang handed her the abstract notes in his hand. Wen Shuyu looked through them. If she didn't understand something, Chang Zhang would explain it to her.

After that day, the two of them met at the wall every day. Chang Zhang found that Wen Shuyu's comprehension was also very good. She always understood it at once. It was just because she listened to Mr. Zhuang's class intermittently, and some content could not be connected. Chang Zhang listened to Mr. Zhuang's lectures more seriously, organized his notes more seriously, and then explained them to Wen Shuyu.

Both of them thought that this was their little secret, and no one else knew it. In fact, Mr. Zhuang knew it from the first day Chang Zhang moved the ladder. He also knew that there was a little girl listening to his lectures every day on the wall. Mr. Zhuang loved talents, and he was happy to see that his little apprentice worked harder to tutor the little girl. What's more, Chang Zhang changed a lot of his impetuous habits in order to be a good teacher. Mr. Zhuang often let him rest after class when Wen Shuyu appeared on the wall.

How did Mingxi find out? Because Chang Zhang always asked Meng to make cakes for him, for several days in a row, and he had to fill four small purses every day. Mingxi could only see him when he came to get cakes. Mingxi had a mother's intuition that Chang Zhang was hiding something. Mingxi had nothing to do, so she took Chengzi and followed Chang Zhang to the school. Then she discovered their little secret.

Mingxi remembered that day, the sky was covered with a light drizzle, and it was hazy. Lemon had just developed a new type of pastry, which tasted good. Mingxi wanted to give it to Mr. Zhuang and the two little guys to try, so she took Chengzi to the school. She thought that it was raining, so the two little guys would not climb the wall, but when Minglan arrived at the school, she found that Mr. Zhuang was standing by the window looking at something.

Mingxi walked over curiously, looking over the gentleman's shoulder, and saw on the wall, Chang Zhang and Wen Shuyu each holding an oil-paper umbrella, like two blooming colorful lotuses, quietly blooming in the rain.

Chang Zhang was telling something to the little girl with an unprecedented serious attitude, and the little girl was fascinated. Mingxi could even see the little girl's eyes flashing with curiosity and excitement, nodding from time to time, and asking questions. Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard, nodded constantly, and couldn't hide his smile on his face.

The rain was still falling softly, but it seemed to add a bit of romance and tranquility to the warm scene on the wall. Mingxi stood below, watching this scene quietly, and his heart was full of emotion. Mingxi did not disturb Chang Zhang or Mr. Zhuang, she put down the lunch box and left.

"The girl from the Wen family is studious, and it seems that Mr. Zhuang also admires her very much. If she can be taught by Mr. Zhuang himself, she will definitely be an extraordinary talent. I wonder about Mrs. Wen's illness..."

After listening to the story of Chang Zhang and Wen Shuyu, Minglan also liked the girl very much, and was a little worried about her mother's illness.

"It should be getting better. Chang Zhang has been bringing more cakes to the school in recent days, and he always finds time to pester me to tell him stories in the evening. I heard him say before that eating sweets can improve his condition, and listening to good stories can make him feel better. The most important thing is that Chang Zhang has been obviously happier these days, and he often says that it will be soon, soon."

Mrs. Wen's condition has indeed improved. She has been bedridden for several months and her mood is depressed. Naturally, her condition cannot get better. Because of her mood, others are very careful when talking to Mrs. Wen. But since Wen Shuyu has been with Chang Zhang every day, her mood has brightened a lot. She also heard a lot of interesting stories from Chang Zhang, and told them to Mrs. Wen when she returned. Mrs. Wen gradually became happy. Wen Shuyu brought some cakes to Mrs. Wen from time to time. Mrs. Wen drank bitter soup medicine all day, and after eating sweets, her appetite improved. Once her appetite improved, her body gradually improved.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wen recovered from her illness. Wen Hanlin and his wife also knew that their daughter was lying on the wall and studying with Chang Zhang every day, so they brought generous gifts and apprenticeship gifts to the Sheng Mansion, hoping that their daughter would go to the Sheng family's school and ask Mr. Zhuang to teach. But this is all later. Now the two little guys still meet on the wall every day.

…

The next day, the younger generation of the Sheng family went to the Gu Mansion to warm up at the General's Mansion (Gu Tingye's new mansion)

. Because several people wanted to help, they arrived early.

"Second brother Gu's house is so magnificent. I think the plaque on the door is not much worse than the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion."

A group of people arrived at the Gu Mansion and got off the carriage. Chang Feng looked up at the gate of the Gu Mansion and sighed.

"This is the mansion that His Majesty deliberately awarded to Second brother Gu according to the regulations of the Marquis' Mansion." Rulan continued.

When these words came out of Rulan's mouth, everyone felt strange. Chang Feng was even more direct, "Fifth sister is also concerned about the government affairs. How did you know?" As he said, he turned his head to Minglan, thinking that it was Minglan who reminded him.

Minglan waved her hand quickly, "It's not me!"

Rulan pouted, why couldn't she know? "Lin Yunting told me!" Well, it was indeed someone else who told her.

"Hahaha, Yun Ting is right, His Majesty is supporting me!" Gu Tingye came out of the mansion with a smile, and happened to hear what they said.

"Zhong Huai!" "Second Brother Gu!" Everyone went forward to greet them.

Gu Tingye greeted everyone one by one, "You are not the first to come, but someone got here before you!" Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"Who is it? Even earlier than us!" Chang Zhang asked in surprise.

Gu Tingye bent down and touched Chang Zhang's head, and said with a smile, "It's your beloved brother Yuan Ruo!"

"Yuan Ruo actually came so early! Then let's hurry in too!" Chang Feng knew that Qi Heng had arrived first, so he couldn't wait to go into the mansion as well.

Everyone entered the mansion, which was cleaned up and decorated with red silk, creating a festive atmosphere.

Gu Tingye led everyone into the main hall, where Yun Jinyan was directing the maids to decorate the hall.

Minglan saw Yun Jinyan directing the maids to do things, which was very similar to how Wang Ruofu did at home. She walked up to her and teased, "Madam, you are in charge of the whole family!"

Everyone laughed, and Yun Jinyan saw them and came forward happily.

"You just tease me. Today is the first time that the Gu Mansion is open to welcome guests. We can't be careless and let others see Zhong Huai's jokes." Yun Jinyan pulled Minglan over and explained with a smile.

"If you need any help at home, we will help you." Minglan emphasized "your home".
