Chapter 96 Ayue
This incident made Li Zheng realize that a man who has been single for a long time should not be provoked.
She rubbed her waist, remembering that her son hadn't asked her for milk all day. She also thought about the milk she had this morning, and wondered if she had found something better. She turned around and lay down again, feeling powerless. She was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
When Gu Chengze came in, he saw this scene. The child was still in his arms and looked like he had coaxed the child to sleep. Gu Chengze put Xiaobao on the bed and asked Li Zheng: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Li Zheng glared at him when she heard this. He seemed to know what he had done wrong and touched his nose. "By the way, are you hungry? Get up and eat something." Seeing her nod, he went out and asked the servants to bring some food.
Gu Chengze helped Li Zheng up and put her clothes on. Li Zheng touched her stomach. It seemed like she hadn't eaten all day. No wonder she was so hungry.
After dinner, Li Zheng felt like she was alive again. During this time, Gu Chengze was also very careful to please her, fearing that she would be angry. Li Zheng found this funny. She was not angry, but she felt that...
However, Li Zheng discovered that Gu Chengze seemed to be different from other fathers. Li Zheng had seen before that, except for those in the village, most respectful families did not hold their sons. But when it came to him, the situation was reversed.
"Don't you mind holding the baby?" Li Zheng asked since she thought so.
Gu Chengze paused as he was picking up food for her, then placed it on the plate before saying, "Our child is so adorable, he deserves more hugs." Of course, he didn't really think that way. Now, his son was only loved by the two of them, so naturally, he couldn't get the same love and affection as other families. Without him, there would be even less. It must be said that our classmate Gu was still quite old-fashioned when it came to being a father, but thanks to this, our little treasure received a special kind of love.
Li Zheng saw that he was speaking with such confidence, but she naturally didn't believe him. She knew him well; he was a conservative person at heart, though for various reasons, he didn't appear to be that way. But as long as it was good for the child, she didn't say anything.
With Li Zheng moving into the general's mansion, a lot of servants were added to the mansion. After all, the mansion was particularly large this time, and it would take more time to clean it without more people.
"Okay, Xiaozhu and Xiaocui, stop playing around. Hurry up and move the flowers under the eaves. They have wilted in the sun, who would want to see them? Move them out when the sun is out." A Yue's words instantly made the two eleven or twelve-year-old maids put away their playful thoughts and gave A Yue a not-so-standard salute.
"Yes, Sister Ayue." The two maids quickly moved the flowers under the eaves.
After seeing this, Ayue said with satisfaction, "You two should stop thinking about playing around all the time. Focus on your own work, read more, and learn more. When you're done with your work, go to the literacy class and learn a few words. There are very few people in our mansion who can't read these days. Don't let the last one fall behind."
"Yes, Sister Ayue." Seeing that the two maids looked reserved, Ayue said no more and went to the front yard.
When the two little maids saw A Yue leave, they dared to secretly breathe a sigh of relief and touch their chests. They were scared to death.
Meanwhile, Li Zheng looked at the guard Yang Jiayang kneeling below her and recalled that he had just said that he was interested in marrying A-Yue!?
Guard Yang, who was standing below, became anxious when he saw Li Zheng still didn't say anything. Thinking she disagreed, he quickly added, "Madam, I'm sincere. I will treat Miss Ayue well."
"Ah! No, I just didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative." Li Zheng had previously understood A Yue's thoughts, but Guard Yang had always seemed indifferent to them, so she thought he wasn't interested. That's why she asked this question.
Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "You should talk to A Yue about this. If she agrees, I will agree. After all, this is a major event in her life and it is not easy for me to make the decision." Let A Yue make her own choice.
Guard Yang raised his head happily and said to Li Zheng, "Yes, thank you, ma'am." He knew that his madam agreed, but he didn't know whether A Yue would agree. However, he was confident that A Yue would definitely agree.
When Li Zheng saw Guard Yang leave, she thought that if A Yue knew about this, she would be so happy. Well, she would let A Yue know it herself, and she would not tell her.
At this time, Xiao Zi was holding a plate of cakes and said, "Madam, this is the cake I made recently. Please try it."
Xiao Zi can now start developing her own dishes, but she still makes most of the pastries. Li Zheng picked up a piece and tasted it. "Hmm, not bad. The texture is just right, not too sweet or greasy. It's just right for the shelves now."
Xiao Zi was immediately delighted when she heard this. This was the second time her pastries could be sent to a pastry shop. Li Zheng had opened a pastry shop after arriving in the capital, making popular egg tarts, cakes, and other items. Of course, if she had a good idea, she could send it directly to the shop.
Xiao Zi then inquired, "Madam, did Guard Yang come here just now for Sister Ayue?"
"Yeah, that's right. Don't tell A-Yue yet. Let Guard Yang tell it himself."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Zi certainly wouldn't say it. If she said it in advance, there would be no surprise just as ma'am said.
Li Zheng looked at Xiao Zi and said, "Xiao Zi, what are you planning to get married about? If you are in a hurry, you can do it with A Yue when the time comes." Li Zheng remembered that Xiao Zi was Du Hai's child bride! And from the look of Xiao Zi, she seemed to be interested in Du Hai. She just didn't know what this girl was thinking.
When Xiao Zi heard this, her face turned red instantly, "Madam, please stop teasing me. I still want to stay with you for a few more years!" After saying that, she ran away in a hurry, fearing that Li Zheng would tease her again.
When Li Zheng heard this, she thought she was the type who liked to joke around. She was just asking, why did she make herself look like someone who was being urged to get married?
"Manager Du, aren't you going in?" The servant outside Li Zheng's yard saw that Manager Du had been standing there for a long time and didn't go in, so he asked.
Du Hai reacted, "No, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something. I will come to report to my wife another day."
The servant looked at Du Hai with a strange look, thinking that this Manager Du was the most careful person, so how could he forget to bring something with him?
Manager Du, now known as Du Hai, is now in charge of all of Li Zheng's shops.
Du Hai returned to his residence and counted all his things, muttering to himself, but no one knew what he was saying.
The next day, Ayue blushed and hesitated. Li Zheng knew what had happened and teased her, "Well, Guard Yang told you."
"Madam~" A Yue stamped his feet in shame.
"Well, what are you doing here today? If you don't tell me, I'll pretend I don't know." How come this girl, who is usually so carefree, can't say a word here?
