455: The Great Prince

Su Zhi recognized the man who walked into the store. There was no way she could not recognize him. This man was too outstanding. Anyone who met him once would have a deep memory of him and would definitely remember him if they saw him again. And she had interacted with this man in that way before, and she had a good memory, so naturally she remembered him more clearly.

Shen Zian also recognized him. He wondered if this man was the young man his wife had met at the Lantern Festival. Thinking of the admiring look that man had given his wife at that time, his sense of crisis immediately swelled.

Su Zhi felt Shen Zian's hand holding her hand more firmly, she turned her head to look at him, and immediately laughed in her heart, thinking that her husband had remembered her too, was he afraid that she would be bewitched? He was really cute. Su Zhi felt that her husband treated her like a treasure, which made her feel comfortable.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

A smart female clerk went over first, and before she could say anything, her face turned red. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the young man. Although she was shy, she couldn't bear to look away.

The other female shop assistants looked at the girl with envy, wanting her to get there first.

"I saw this shop is very unique, let me come in and take a look."

The handsome young man smiled at the female clerk. His smile was very nice. Although his lips were only slightly raised in an arc, it made people feel that he was smiling sincerely, the kind of smile that soothed people's hearts.

This smile made the heartbeats of the women in the store who were looking at him quicken again, except for Su Zhi and Liang Fu, both of whom were in love, so even if they admired a handsome man, they would not be tempted. Especially Su Zhi, who felt Shen Zian's hand tightened a little, and she no longer cared about looking at the handsome man's smile, and was secretly happy.

"My husband, I think you look better when you smile."

Su Zhi stood on tiptoe slightly and whispered to Shen Zian that she was not just doing this to make Shen Zian happy, she was also telling the truth.

Shen Zian's personality is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He usually has a handsome face with a calm expression. If he gets serious, he looks very cold. If he smiles, he gives people a feeling of spring flowers blooming. Shen Zian usually smiles when he is at home. Su Zhijue's husband gives people a feeling of never getting tired of him when he smiles.

If the young man in front of him was the kind of handsome that dazzled people, then Shen Zian was the kind of handsome that lasted for a long time.

For a woman like Su Zhi who just wants to live a quiet life, Shen Zian is the man who can touch her heart.

For Su Zhi, it was good to admire the young man in front of her, just like appreciating a gorgeous painting or a beautiful flower.

Shen Zian listened to Su Zhi's words. His stern face melted immediately. He looked at the smile in his wife's eyes and eyebrows, thinking that she must have noticed his vigilance. She was always the first to notice his abnormality, which showed that she cared about him. Having such a wife was enough for his life.

Liang Fu was close to them. She also heard Su Zhi's whispers, and a smile appeared on her face. She envied the couple and thought that they had such a good relationship. Unfortunately, she was jealous because she couldn't find Zhou Zihao at first, and wanted to destroy their happiness. Now she thought that she was really overestimating her own abilities. Fortunately, Su Zhi convinced her and made her stop thinking about it. Otherwise, how could she have such a good life now?

Liang Fu looked at Shen Zian and thought that he looked less like a farmer and more like a knight. He was cold but not unapproachable. He was strong but also gentle. He was very reasonable and well-spoken. If he studied, he might be a talented scholar who would pass the imperial examination, no worse than his brother. Even standing like this, she felt that Shen Zian was more charming than Shen Ziju, but he was more reserved.

Su Zhi is such an outstanding woman, and she is a perfect match for Shen Zian when standing together.

"You two, I didn't expect to meet you here again."

The young man had already seen Shen Zian and Su Zhi and recognized them. He was surprised and thought that they were destined to meet here again. After two years, they seemed to have changed a little and were more outstanding. Maybe they were living a better life. He also saw Su Zhi's belly. He thought that the woman who was chanting beautiful words under the gorgeous lanterns was about to become a mother. Time passed so quickly.

Perhaps it was because the woman in front of him had once chanted such praiseworthy words, or perhaps it was because she was similar to the figure in his memory, when they met again, he couldn't help but come forward to say hello.

Shen Zian was very pleased with his wife's words. He was no longer as alert as before when he saw the handsome man in front of him. He treated him as an ordinary person. Since he was supporting his wife, he nodded to him. Su Zhi said, "What a coincidence."

Liang Fu asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

Su Zhi smiled and said, "We met by chance at the Lantern Festival."

"That's a coincidence."

Liang Fu clapped her hands and smiled after hearing this, and asked the clerk next to her to step back. Since he was someone she knew, there was no need for the clerk to greet him.

"Sir, how should I address you? I am the owner of this store, my last name is Liang."

Liang Fu said frankly that since she started her business, she has become cheerful and no longer calls herself a slave or a little girl like some other women. This makes her seem more generous and natural.

"My name is Meng Jinliang."

"Are you the famous number one scholar and uncle of the emperor, Meng Jinliang?" Liang Fu looked at Meng Jinliang in surprise, thinking that this man was indeed a handsome man as the rumors said!

"That's me."

Meng Jinliang said this with a smile, his attitude was very natural, and he did not show any arrogance or complacency because of his fame.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were also very surprised. They thought that they had met the emperor's uncle by chance. They were really lucky.

Meng Liangjin looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi and said, "I don't know how to address this gentleman and lady. We didn't even exchange names when we parted so hastily last time. I've always felt deeply sorry for that."

Shen Zian said: "I am Shen Zian, this is my wife."

"It's Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen." Meng Jinliang said with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder if the new runner-up Shen Ziju is familiar with you. His hometown seems to be in the same place as yours."

Shen Zian said: "That's my fifth brother."

Meng Jinliang thought it was no wonder that he met this couple here; it turned out that they were the brother and sister-in-law of the new runner-up in the imperial examination.

"Mom, this uncle is very handsome." Yueyue looked at Meng Jinliang and said to Su Zhi.

"I'm not as good-looking as my dad. In the future I want to be someone who can beat a tiger like my dad." Xing'er said at the side, earning a smile from Shen Zian.

Xiaori looked at Meng Jinliang, holding Su Zhi's hand tightly, with some confusion in his eyes.

Meng Jinliang looked at the three little kids and heard them calling Shen Zian and his wife dad and mom. He glanced at Shen Zian and his wife in surprise. He thought, they looked to be around twenty years old, and they already had these three kids?

Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not explain. They would not tell someone they had just exchanged names with that this was not their biological child. Although the children knew it, they were unwilling to say it in front of them.

Liang Fu smiled and patted Yueyue's head, saying, "Girl, let me ask you, who is better looking, this uncle or Xiaori and Xing'er?"

Yueyue looked at Xiaori and Xing'er and said, "Xiaori and Xing'er are not as good-looking as uncle, but I still like them more. When they grow up, they will definitely be as good-looking as uncle."

The adults all laughed when they heard this.

After Liang Fu finished laughing, she called Meng Jinliang and asked him if he had taken a fancy to anything in the store. Meng Jinliang took a look at the toys in the store and finally shook his head. A trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Liang Fu saw the expression on Meng Jinliang's face and her heart tightened. She quickly said, "There is no proper explanation. The toys in our store are still incomplete. We will definitely make more fun toys. Mr. Meng, please look around. There are some interesting games that adults can play too."

Meng Jinliang nodded. Yueyue thought this uncle was very handsome, so she took the initiative to ask Meng Jinliang to watch a game she just liked to play. Meng Jinliang looked at the three little kids and didn't want to spoil their fun, so he went with them to watch. Shen Zian and Su Zhi naturally followed.

Several people looked at the toys and played with them, and soon they got along more naturally.

After a while, Meng Jinliang said goodbye. He picked out a lot of interesting toys for the three kids, paid the money, and then left. Before leaving, Xiucheng sincerely invited them to visit the Grand Tutor's Mansion when they had time.

Liang Fu watched Meng Jinliang leave and sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Su Zhi asked Liang Fu with a smile. She really didn't think there was anything to sigh about when looking at Meng Jinliang. This man was really perfect. If she sighed, it would be because he was too perfect. She looked at him like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, who was hard to approach, or she sighed that she was inferior to him. But Liang Fu was a woman and had a lover, so what was there to sigh about?

Liang Fu said, "Mr. Meng was sad just now."

"Ah, why are you sad?" Su Zhi asked. How could Mr. Meng be sad in such a joyful toy store?

"Did he lose a child in his family?"

Su Zhi could only think of this possibility.

Liang Fu nodded and said, "That's right. Although Master Meng has no children and no younger siblings, he once had a nephew, who is the son of the current queen and the eldest prince of our Daliang Kingdom. The eldest prince died a few years ago. The queen must be very sad about this. This time when Master Meng comes back, he will definitely go to see the queen and will definitely think of the eldest prince again. Now looking at these toys, he must be thinking of his nephew."
