After dinner, Bihe came to report: "Your Highness, the Meng family has sent someone to look for young master Meng Kuo."
"Is he still refusing?"
"They're still kneeling inside; they must be unwilling."
Bihe also sighed.
How can a seven-year-old child have such strong bones?
How long have they been kneeling?
Kids these days are really something else.
"Oh, then let him go back first, and he can come again tomorrow."
Princess Duanyang said casually.
He was gesturing in front of the bronze mirror at the several hairpins he had just bought, seemingly indifferent to everything.
Looking at Princess Duanyang like this, Bihe felt a little uneasy.
but……
It's not something a servant like her can interfere with in her master's affairs; she should just do her job obediently.
——
Meng Kuo returned with a limp, but he still held his head high, displaying an unyielding attitude.
On his way back to the Meng residence, he immediately took out the envelope and looked at it, his heart skipped a beat.
Who's reaching out so far?
What exactly does the Chi family have that makes them worth scheming against?
How could they possibly stop Chen Yi from sending a letter to the Princess?
Clutching the envelope, many thoughts raced through Meng Kuo's mind.
"Let's go to a restaurant."
Meng Kuo gave instructions to the coachman.
There was a restaurant that Huo Chenyi provided the money and ideas, while Meng Kuo provided the labor; the two of them established the restaurant.
He wanted the restaurant staff to deliver the letter from the Eldest Princess to Huo Chenyi.
When Meng Kuo came out of the restaurant, he was still carrying two food boxes.
Upon returning to the Meng residence, he was immediately summoned by Old Master Meng.
"Father, you were looking for me?"
"What does the Princess want with you?"
Mr. Meng asked the question directly.
Meng Kuo rolled his eyes and chuckled foolishly, "This is my own business, Father, you don't need to worry about it."
"Are you trying to protect yourself from your father?"
Mr. Meng was very dissatisfied.
If there were no other issues, Princess Duanyang wouldn't have spent so long looking for her youngest son.
Seeing his father's barely concealed anger, Meng Kuo quickly went over and entertained him with colorful clothes until the old man calmed down.
but……
"Kuo'er, you are very smart. But you must remember, there is no fool in the capital."
Even if they look and act like fools.
If he were truly an idiot, how could he possibly establish himself in the capital?
"Yes, I know."
Meng Kuo nodded obediently, as if to say, "I'm very obedient and sensible, please let me go."
Mr. Meng sighed deeply.
He didn't know whether it was a good thing that his youngest son was so closely tied to Huo Chenyi.
Huo Chenyi's fate is destined to be full of ups and downs.
His youngest son...
I'm afraid I'll be involved too.
"Go back now, and remember to study hard. I will check your homework in three days. If you fail, you know what will happen."
The rules set by Mr. Meng.
I check my son's homework every five days, and if he passes, I allow him to go out and relax for half a day.
If you don't pass, you'll naturally be asked by Mr. Meng to give you extra lessons.
The father was a renowned scholar, and if his son couldn't even pass the county-level imperial examination, he would become a laughingstock.
The Meng family cannot have such a stain.
Meng Kuo was well aware of this and never considered escaping it.
The next day, Meng Kuo was summoned by the princess and made to kneel for half a day.
(Ahem, actually I took a nap inside.)
This went on for three days. On the fourth day, Princess Duanyang finally stopped calling Meng Kuo, but for some reason, she threw a tantrum in the mansion.
The outside world has no idea.
Everyone was speculating that Meng Kuo had offended the eldest princess in some way.
——
The bustling activity in the capital had no effect on the tranquility of Pinghe Town.
Summer has arrived in the blink of an eye, and cicadas and katydids are constantly chirping in the corner, which is quite annoying.
The Chi family's children all adapted to life at the private school.
Every morning, Uncle Chi would take them to the fields to pull weeds, take a stroll around town, and then they would return home where Aunt Chi and Sister-in-law Chi would have already prepared the meal.
After breakfast, I took a few children to school.
Then, when Old Man Chi and Chi Sanhe had nothing to do, they would go to the fields to pull weeds and go fishing in the river.
I'll deliver lunch to the children again at noon.
After lunch, take a nap, then go for a stroll in the fields.
Every time he went out for a stroll, Old Man Chi would drag Chi Sanhe along, vowing to cure Chi Sanhe's laziness!
The father and son have a love-hate relationship.
When they returned in the evening, they would always bring back a few sparrows or a few palm-sized fish.
After school, the children would have dinner and then be taken by their fathers to wander around town for an hour to run around before coming back to wash up and go to bed.
Life was ordinary yet peaceful, peaceful yet happy.
Chi Tang is also growing up visibly, changing every day. He is speaking more and more fluently, and his legs are getting stronger and stronger. When he runs, even Aunt Chi can't catch up with him!
Every day, Chi Tang would go and play with his older sister, Huo Yajie.
The two sisters and Qiu Xing would listen to Granny Han teach them needlework in the morning, and in the afternoon the three sisters would stroll around the various food shops in town.
The three of them got together to discuss which one tasted better.
Cough cough, so not only has Chi Tang become increasingly chubby, but Huo Yajie has also gained some weight on her face and body.
Autumn apricots... cough cough, needless to say.
Chi Erchuan studied at a private school far from home. In order to concentrate on his studies, he paid extra to live at the private school and returned home once every two weeks.
I don't know if it's because he's no longer affected by Shi Hongxing's Gu poison, but Chi Erchuan has changed a lot.
His eyes were clear and resolute, intelligent and decisive.
