"By the way, Chenyi, how long are you and Xingxing going to stay this time?"
Aunt Chi remembered and asked about it.
Huo Chenyi said, "Xingxing is going back earlier than me this time. She'll probably have to leave in about five or six days."
I need to stay in the capital for a while longer. His Majesty has invited several renowned scholars to tutor me.
However, he also couldn't stay in Pinghe Town for long.
The great Confucian scholar will arrive in a few days; he must return to the capital to receive instruction.
"Did His Majesty specifically request this for you?" Chi Tang asked.
"Not really, I will receive instruction along with the princes," Huo Chenyi explained.
Chi Tang nodded.
She felt a little strange; His Majesty really cared about Chenyi's education.
They wanted him to achieve military merit, and also invited a great scholar to tutor him.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were grooming a crown prince.
"Where are you going, big brother?" Changsheng asked curiously.
Sister-in-law Chi said with a sob in her voice, "Your eldest brother went to a very, very far place to join the army."
"ah?"
Changsheng yelled and then asked, "Is it fun?"
"It's not fun, it's far, tiring, and tough." Aunt Chi was afraid that her grandson might also have the idea of joining the army, so she immediately nipped it in the bud.
Upon hearing that it was both tiring and bitter, Changsheng fell silent.
"Mother, will our restaurant's business be affected?" Little Lock asked with some worry.
After today's commotion, even if they know they were framed, it will probably still affect the business of their family restaurant.
Sister-in-law Chi, however, was quite frank: "Being affected is something that can't be helped."
"Sister-in-law, how about we, Dianjiangchun and Yipinxian Restaurant, launch a joint promotion? For example, if you spend a certain amount at Dianjiangchun, you can get a 30-yuan voucher for the restaurant, or a voucher for a specific dish."
Chi Tang spoke fluently without hesitation.
Actually, this kind of thing is quite easy to solve.
After all, the government has proven that there was nothing wrong with the food, and that someone had framed them.
In addition, Yipinxian Restaurant used to have a very good business and a large number of loyal customers.
Therefore, it is not difficult to win them back.
“Yes, we can also launch such an event with our family’s KitKat store.” Si Lang praised Chi Tang, “Auntie is so smart. I could never come up with such a good idea even if I racked my brains.”
Goro chimed in with praise, "That's right, Auntie is amazing."
An'an and Xiao Suotou looked at Chi Tang with doting eyes: "Auntie is the most amazing, smartest and prettiest girl in the world."
Old Man Chi: ...
Why did these brats use so many words?
Especially An'an and Xiao Suotou, can't we just say one of them is the best?
What can we do now? He's out of words.
Chi Tang grinned broadly, revealing her tiny baby teeth: "Hahaha, I am..."
Suddenly, the smile came to an abrupt end.
Everyone asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"Little sister, where does it hurt?"
"Tangtang, what's wrong?"
Faced with everyone's concern, Chi Tang held up her hand to her mouth, spat out a tooth, and excitedly said, "I've lost another tooth!"
This is her second baby tooth that has fallen out.
Once all her baby teeth have fallen out, she can eat whatever she wants!
"Pfft, pfft, this is hilarious! Hahaha." Little Fifth Brother laughed until his stomach hurt; his laughter was incredibly infectious.
The others wanted to endure it, but...
"Hahaha."
"My little aunt is amazing, she can actually make you laugh until your teeth fall out."
Chi Tang blushed: ...
Is this something to praise her for?
"Ugh! You just wait! Humph." Chi Tang stomped her foot, hands on her hips.
Waiting.
She'll find them one by one, sooner or later!
"No, Auntie, I was wrong."
"Little sister, I was just joking."
Chi Tang revealed a gaping tooth and shouted loudly, "Too late!"
"Hahaha."
Seeing Chi Tang's two dark cavities, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Tangtang, is this tooth on top or bottom?" Huo Chenyi asked.
Chi Tang said, "The one below."
Huo Chenyi wrapped his teeth with a handkerchief and nodded: "Then we'll have to throw it on the roof."
"Chenyi, why are you wrapping this up? Why don't you just throw it on the roof?" Little Fifth Brother asked curiously.
Isn't this the rule?
Throw the teeth that fall out from the bottom onto the roof, and throw the teeth that fall out from the top onto the ground.
I don't know why, but they were all like that when they were kids.
Huo Chenyi said in a serious tone, "I will be returning to the capital in two or three days. There is an extremely tall Zhaixing Pavilion in the palace. I will throw him onto the roof of the Zhaixing Pavilion when I arrive."
Everyone else: ...
Are you alright?
It's just one tooth, is it really that big of a deal?
Even Chi Tang, the person involved, felt it was somewhat unnecessary.
"Brother Chenyi, isn't that unnecessary? What's the point of throwing your teeth that high?"
"...Why throw it on the roof if it's useless?"
Chi Tang: ...
She couldn't answer that question.
Huo Chenyi asked Aunt Chi again to confirm: "Auntie, the tooth that fell out below, was it thrown on the roof?"
"……right."
But there was no need to throw it that high.
On the contrary, Old Man Chi accepted it very well: "Oh my, my Tangtang is so lucky. She can even throw her lost teeth onto the roof of the Star-Picking Pavilion in the Imperial Palace, that's amazing!"
Aunt Chi rolled her eyes.
This daughter-obsessed man is really something...
"Chenyi, there are many taboos in the palace. Don't cause you any more trouble. Just leave Tangtang's tooth on the roof at home. Your uncle threw the previous one, which was also a lower tooth, on the roof too."
Aunt Chi offered kind words of advice, not wanting to cause trouble for Huo Chenyi.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Chenyi looked at Old Man Chi with displeasure and said, "Old man, how can you be so perfunctory? From now on, you can throw away the teeth that Tangtang loses on top, but keep the ones that fall out on the bottom."
He threw them very high.
Others: ...
Old Man Chi readily agreed: "Okay, sure!"
If it's something that's good for my daughter, why can't I agree to it?
But Chen Yi's temper, tsk tsk, you'd think his daughter was adopted.
"Brother Chenyi, there's no need to go to such lengths." Chi Tang didn't want Huo Chenyi to be sent to the Star-Picking Pavilion in the palace, lest it cause trouble.
Huo Chenyi replied, "It's no trouble for me."
Anything related to Tangtang is never a hassle.
Well, seeing that he insisted, everyone stopped saying anything.
——
Xingxing was released two days later, and because of Huo Chenyi's care, she was not injured.
However, it is still unknown who wants to harm the Chi family.
"...I heard they even used torture, but the mother and daughter-in-law still claim they don't know who gave them the money, saying they've never seen it, and the money was given directly to that man."
The man only explained what they did, but didn't tell them who gave them the money. Now the man is dead, and there's no way to verify anything.
That's where things got stuck.
Who exactly went to such lengths to deal with the Chi family?
