Chapter 142: Carrier Pigeon



"When we three siblings first went out, we were having fun, but soon some kids started talking and saying, 'Aren't we the county lord's sons? There's no need to play with a bunch of dirt-legged people like them!'"

After listening to this, Shen Ningsi also knew that these children were isolated by the children of Wanning Village.

A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Then don't play with them. I'll go find Gu Hong tonight and ask him to find a teacher for you two. Yun'er, do you like embroidery? Or do you prefer music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yuner.

"ah……"

Gu Yun'er didn't expect that while talking, she actually talked about herself. When she looked at Shen Ningsi, a confused expression appeared on her face.

"Mom, Yun'er should learn embroidery. It can help supplement the family income."

After struggling for a while, Gu Yuner spoke in a low voice. Her tone was so low that if Shen Ningsi had not been close to her, she would not have been able to hear it at all.

"Yun'er, our family is no longer so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Do you see those wine jars out there? If we sell them, we can make a ton of silver! And the emperor has also rewarded mother with 100,000 taels of gold, which is like the lavish meals we eat every day. We can't spend it all in two lifetimes!"

Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Yuner again with encouragement in his eyes.

"Mother, Yun'er wants to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she also wants to learn embroidery!"

"Okay, after An An and Kang Kang are one year old, mother will find you a female teacher!" Shen Ningsi finally smiled.

An An and Kang Kang are one year old. Although Gu Hong said that she would go to the town to find a chef for the restaurant, she also wanted to make some pastries as a return gift.

Although these can be bought at the pastry shop in town, after all, it is the first birthday of her two children, so she still wants to have some sense of participation.

"Okay! Everything is up to you, mother!"

Gu Yuner smiled so much that her eyebrows were not visible. Not only could she learn something, but she could also stay at home. Is there anything happier than this in the world?

After lunch, Shen Ningsi coaxed An An and Kang Kang to sleep and then went into the study, thinking about how to draw the blueprints of the baby carriage and walker.

It was not until someone knocked on the door that she realized how much time had passed.

Looking at the dozens of drawings on the table, Shen Ningsi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly walked over and opened the door.

"Mom, An'an and Kang'kang are awake. They are crying now. They must be hungry."

After Gu Yuner finished speaking, she pulled Shen Ningsi’s sleeve and walked towards the room.

After feeding An An and Kang Kang, the two children stopped crying. Shen Ningsi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these children are really not easy to take care of!

After An An and Kang Kang had eaten their fill, they stopped making noise and instead looked around with their bright black eyes.

Seeing that Shen Ningsi had been looking at them, the two little guys giggled.

Shen Ningsi's heart softened when she saw this.

In the evening, Gu Hong came uninvited and brought a lot of cakes and candies that the children liked.

Judging from the look of it, he probably wants to stay here and eat for free.

Shen Ningsi naturally guessed what he was thinking, but thinking that An An and Kang Kang would be one year old in about ten days, she didn't care about it.

The whole family is happy!

When Gu Hong returned to the yard after dinner, Sanyazi immediately came over to him.

"Damn it, it's been so long and you haven't taken a shower yet. You're going to suffocate me to death!"

Gu Hong looked at Sanyazi with a look of disgust on his face.

"Hehe... General, I'm just anxious to know if these methods I taught you this afternoon will work!"

"Humph, you've done a great job this time!"

The expression on Gu Hong's face finally eased. Otherwise, how could a rough guy like him think of buying food for the children?

"If you don't understand something in the future, I'll ask you again. Now hurry up and take a shower! Otherwise, you'll sleep in the pigpen tonight!"

After saying that, Gu Hong raised his foot and kicked Sanyazi on the butt.

I have been busy building the house all day long. My clothes have been dry and wet, wet and dry countless times!

Sanyazi felt so wronged! However, thinking about Gu Hong's temper, he went to take a shower in a depressed mood.

Just then, a carrier pigeon flew over from far away in the darkness.

The next moment, it fell on Gu Hong's shoulder.

Gu Hong grabbed the carrier pigeon on his shoulder, took a small note from its feet, and then put the pigeon into the darkness again.

Gu Hong returned to the study, lit the oil lamp and slowly unfolded the note.

Then a strange expression appeared on his face.

"People from the capital family are coming? I didn't expect these people to have such a keen nose."

Gu Hong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This eunuch is such a big mouth! After returning to the capital, I must teach him a lesson!" Gu Hong thought viciously.

However, since the Gu family from the capital is coming, he should make some plans early!

Shen Ningsi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Only then did he remember the drawings he had drawn during the day and he hadn't found a suitable carpenter yet.

He sat up and patted his head, "I didn't expect I'd forgotten about this."

Thinking of this, she put on her clothes again, put on her embroidered shoes, and went to the study.

Take the two drawings drawn during the day and see if there is anything that needs to be changed.

Gu Hong didn't rest for a while. He just jumped onto the roof and saw that the light in Shen Ningsi's study was still on.

Through the candlelight in the study, he saw a slender figure standing there, holding a brush and thinking with her head down.

"Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Gu Hong raised his eyebrows, then jumped down from the roof and walked straight to the door of Shen Ningsi's study.

Boom boom boom…

After a few random knocks, Shen Ningsi's response came.

Shen Ningsi thought that it was the brothers Gu Xiuwen or Gu Xiuwu who were awake and came to her room to look for her.

The next moment she felt that the footsteps were a little different, and when she turned around she saw Gu Hong's tall figure.

"Gu Hong? Why are you still awake so late?" Shen Ningsi showed a surprised expression on his face.

"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go up to the roof to look at the moon, but I didn't expect the light in your study was still on."

Gu Hong sat aside carelessly, picked up the tea that had long gone cold, and drank it in big gulps.

"What are you drawing?"

Gu Hong suddenly saw the drawings placed in front of Shen Ningsi, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked over with a look of surprise.

"The last time I took An An and Kang Kang out, I felt it was a bit troublesome, so I thought of making them a stroller. Besides, they are almost one year old and still can't walk, so I made them two walkers at the same time."

When Shen Ningsi said this, a hint of guilt appeared in his eyes.

When I was pregnant with twins, I didn’t eat very well, so they were much smaller than normal babies when they were born.

She didn't have much breast milk, so the two children became even thinner!

Fortunately, their lives are getting better now. With some treatment in the future, they will be as healthy as normal children.
