Shi Zairong couldn't promise her anything about this matter. According to what the woman said, if she couldn't find the antidote in the next few days, she would have to go to Naihe Bridge to queue up for soup. "We'll talk about this later. I haven't seen Miss Hong Yu this time. After all, we are old friends. Why don't you see her?"
Tang Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "I didn't see him either. Maybe he was taken to the military camp again?"
Shi Zairong asked with considerable interest, "She seems quite popular here. Just a quick question for you. There are quite a lot of people who like your Miss Hongyu, right?"
Tang Chen slapped his thigh, expressing his admiration for Shi Zairong. However, if he were interested in Hong Yu, she would definitely not agree. He was already engaged to the eldest daughter of the Huangfu family, and he couldn't afford to harm a beautiful young lady from the Huangfu family. "To be honest, there are quite a few, and they're all incredibly attentive. However, Hong Yu doesn't seem interested in any of them. Besides, I think you two can only be friends at best. Just give up."
Shi Zairong slapped the folding fan in his hand on the table and said, "Oh, really?"
Tang Chen explained with reason and evidence: "Of course, you see, you are already engaged, and the other party is the eldest daughter of the Huangfu family. To be honest, of course I told you this because you are my own person. Don't say anything when you go out, and don't think too much. Hong Yu is also from the Huangfu family, so, it is impossible for you two to be together, do you understand?"
Shi Zairong suddenly realized and said, "I understand, I understand very well!"
The two of them sat there staring at each other for a while. Tang Chen couldn't help shaking his legs and looked towards the gate of the hot spring villa. He said, "This is really strange. Yan Zhou said he would discuss things with you in person. How come no one has come yet? I can't sit still any longer. What should I do?"
Shi Zairong suggested, "Why don't you just take me for a walk? I did stay here for a few days, but I was so focused on the destination that I didn't really explore. I also want to see how exquisite the legendary former residence of Queen Wang Zhen is."
"Um, alright." She was sitting there anyway, and since Wang Yanzhou hadn't arrived yet, she didn't want to keep drinking tea in the pavilion. But if they left to go shopping, they had to let Wang Yanzhou and the others know.
Tang Chen looked up at the roof of the pavilion and said, "Is Qiuliang here?"
The autumn chill is like a gust of wind. When not needed, it is as unnoticed as a shadow. When needed, it comes out with a single call: "Madam."
Tang Chen stood up and ordered, "Tell Nianqing to tell Yanzhou that I want to take his guests around. If they can come today, I will meet them in the main hall in an hour."
"yes."
Shi Zairong followed behind Tang Chen, waving his folding fan, and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy came and went in a hurry, he seems to be an expert."
Speaking of Qiu Liang, that is a living treasure beside Tang Chen: "That's right, our Qiu Liang is not only good at martial arts, but also good at taking care of children!"
Speaking of children, Shi Zairong recalled the two soft, gooey little balls he'd seen on his last visit. In that case, strolling through a garden wasn't nearly as fun as playing with children. "Well, speaking of which, I'd rather see your children than wander around. I didn't bring any gifts when we left last time, but I've brought some this time."
After saying that, he quickly asked Lian Guang to hand the bundle over to Tang Chen. Tang Chen took the bundle without hesitation, weighed the contents with some curiosity, and said, "Then you better be prepared. My little Dou Ding and Shen Xin's little Shuang'er, two little devils, are mixed up together. No matter what, we need to be able to divide it into two parts."
Shi Zairong said confidently: "Don't worry, we have already made preparations."
However, if Shi Zairong had anticipated what would happen after he met the two little dumplings, he would definitely not have said what he just said.
When Shi Zairong went outside with Tang Chen with the gifts, they heard Xiao Shuang'er chattering. She didn't know whether she was talking to the wet nurse or the little kid. The little kid was leaning in the wet nurse's arms, watching Xiao Shuang'er talking, and he was also babbling non-stop, although no one knew what he was saying.
When he saw these two lovely children, Shi Zairong felt that his heart was warmed by them. However, when he enthusiastically held the two strangers in his arms, one on each side, like a winner in life, his vision suddenly became dizzy.
Just hearing the howl, Qiu Liang, who had just returned, couldn't help but stop and decided to go into the house a little later.
"Ah, my hair!"
Shi Zairong's face seemed unfamiliar to Xiao Shuang. She stared at him for a moment, then gently patted his face to test his attitude. Seeing that he wasn't scolding her, she mustered up the courage to grab Shi Zairong's hair. The little kid tried to follow suit, but his body was too weak and his hands were too weak. In the end, he could only wave his hands excitedly and laugh endlessly.
Normally, if two children were to pull someone's hair, Tang Chen's first reaction would be to stop them. But since the person in question was Shi Zairong, he decided to wait a little longer. It was his fault for not thinking things through. Now that he'd caused such a big mess, he needed to be taught a lesson.
Tang Chen shook his head and jokingly said, "I think I've prepared you for this. This child is fun, but your hair is even funnier."
Shi Zairong held the two children carefully, afraid of accidentally dropping them, while Shuang'er pulled him so hard that his head swayed, and he felt like his neck would twist at any moment. "You didn't say that at the beginning, you only said you would prepare two gifts! Okay, stop making sarcastic remarks and come save me!"
Tang Chen and his nurse burst out laughing. When the two little ones reluctantly returned to their respective nurses' arms, Shi Zairong breathed a sigh of relief. After taking the comb and bronze mirror from Tang Chen, he looked at his disheveled self in the mirror and laughed, "You two little rascals! Look at this little thing, is it almost able to walk?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "It's too early for him to walk. He's only six months old. You're overthinking it. He's only recently started to learn to roll over."
After Qiu Liang heard the noise in the room had died down, he stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and rushed in and said quickly, "Madam, the master is already in the hall."
Tang Chen said in surprise: "Hey, how come it's so fast?"
