As Shen Zhu watched the few of them leave, he suddenly recalled the matter of letting Zi Yi go to school. It was just that she had been really busy recently, and had forgotten about this matter.

Ming Yuchen was also a very good teacher. Although he was young, his knowledge was still better than that of the teachers in the small town. With him teaching Su Ziyi, the things that the Yi'er could learn were definitely not less than those in the academy.

With that in mind, Shen Zhu stopped worrying about Su Ziyi going to the Academy. He lowered his head and started to play with Ruanruan who was in the cradle, and Ruanruan who was in the cradle and covered in a thin blanket patted his body, and started to giggle as soon as he heard anything.

Seeing that she was having fun herself, Shen Zhu couldn't help but smile.

"Sister-in-law, I'm coming to help you look after the child." The sound of Ah Qiu's footsteps could be heard in the house before he even stepped into the house.

"Ah Qiu, you're here." Shen Zhu raised his gaze from the cradle to the door.

"That's right, sister-in-law. You can relax and go to the kitchen."

The Ah Qiu nodded and skipped into the house. He seemed to be in a good mood.

She entered the house and looked around, only to discover that she did not see Zi Yi and Jingshu today?

Didn't the two of them love to circle around Ruanruan the most?

"Sister-in-law, where's Yi'er and Shuer?"

Ah Qiu said as he moved a low stool beside Shen Zhu and sat down.

"Chen'er said that he wanted to teach them how to read and paint, so the two children excitedly followed him to the west yard." Shen Zhu explained.

"So that's how it is."

Although she knew that learning to read and draw was a good thing, but when these two children left, she could only play with Ruanruan, and suddenly felt much more lonely.

However, when she looked down at Ruanruan's cute little face once again, the trace of depression in her heart immediately disappeared like smoke into thin air. Even if Zi Yi and Jingshu were not there, Ruanruan being there was still good enough!

"Sister-in-law, go ahead. I'll help you look after Ruanruan."

Ah Qiu was teasing Ruanruan, but when she laughed at him, he could not help but become happy as well.

"Alright, I'll leave the child to you."

Shen Zhu nodded, he stood up and went to the big kitchen to prepare the medicine for Ming Yuchen.

Other than being intimate with Shen Zhu, Ruanruan was probably the closest to the two children in Ah Qiu. Even Su Zongwen had to stand aside.

The two of them chatted exceptionally happily in the room, Ah Qiu and Ruanruan talked to each other as if she could understand what they were saying.

Shen Zhu went to the big kitchen to give Ming Yuchen medicine to eat.

She was preparing to make the quail soup that Uncle Chen had bought from a few hunters in the mountains. It was very fresh.

She first cleaned the quail, then cut the lean meat into pieces and put it in a pot of water. After boiling the water, she scooped the meat up and rinsed the foam.

Then, wash the stew pot, cut the carrot into pieces, cut the sweet corn and put it in.

Then add the figs from the medicine store, and then add clear water to the saucepan, because figs have the effect of warming up the body and making the stomach boil, and can also detoxify and reduce swelling.

Then she put the quail meat in and stewed it on the stove for about four hours.

In the afternoon, Su Zongwen went to buy the ribs and brought them back for Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu thought for a bit, then simply stewed a soup, and added in the Vitality Nurturing Pills he had refined earlier. Afterwards, he added two vegetables and two meat dishes, and also left the Ah Qiu and the busy Aunt Liu for lunch.

It just so happened that they could discuss the matter between Su Yixuan and Ah Qiu to see what Aunt Liu meant.

When Shen Zhu and Aunt Liu carried the dishes to the table, Zi Yi and Jingshu also returned. The two of them cutely greeted the few elders before consciously going to wash their hands. Then, they obediently sat at the table, waiting for the adults to sit together.

"Mother, Big Brother Yuchun taught me how to draw today, and he even taught Big Brother how to read. Mother, Big Brother Yuchun is really amazing, he knows everything."

Jingshu excitedly shared today's joy with Shen Zhu as she ate. Her small face was filled with worship.

"Is that so? Then Shuer and Mother, tell me, what did you learn today? "

Shen Zhu patiently listened to Su Jingshu's story, and felt that she was even more adorable when she danced about.

"Big brother Yuchun taught me how to draw flowers, and how to read the Three Character Classic." Jingshu said with a face full of pride.

Shen Zhu nodded, praising her. He then turned to look at the silent Zi Yi, and asked: "Then what did Yi'er learn today?"

Su Ziyi swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke in all seriousness: "Big Brother Yuchun taught me the discourse today, and he even allowed me to bring the book back. He said that there were his annotations in the book, and if there are any things that he doesn't understand, you can write them down and ask him at any time."

"The Yi'er is also great."

Hearing this, Shen Zhu praised Zi Yi with a smile.

If it was said that he only liked Ming Yuchen before, then now, it was an absolute admiration and admiration.

She could feel the admiration Zi Yi had for Ming Yuchen.

After eating, Shen Zhu told Aunt Liu what she had discussed with him last night. Aunt Liu had no objections after hearing it, so he agreed without a second word.

"There's nothing to do in the kitchen right now. I'm actually free, so it's good for us to meet first." Aunt Liu said with a smile. In his heart, he was also looking forward to meeting this future son-in-law of his.

Ah Qiu would always bring it up in front of her, saying that Su Yixuan had everything good or bad, but a little girl's words would always be a little less trustworthy. She was naturally satisfied with what she saw, but as for what Su Yixuan was like, she still had to see for herself before she could feel more at ease.

It was not that she didn't trust Shen Zhu's judgement, it was just that she only had Ah Qiu, her precious daughter, and was not willing to bear even the slightest of hardships. She had to choose a good husband for her in order to avoid feeling wronged after marrying him.

"Alright, then let's wait for Big Bro to reply and see when Second Uncle and Second Aunt are free. If you think it's okay, then we can set up the marriage. As for Big Bro, let's invite the matchmaker over to propose." Shen Zhu agreed.

Aunt Liu didn't have any objections, he chatted with Shen Zhu for a while longer before taking him back to the courtyard. On the other hand, Ah Qiu was extremely excited when he heard the news.

Although Su Yixuan and her had written letters to each other in private and would occasionally send each other some small things, the two of them had not seen each other much in the past, and suddenly seeing her in-laws made her extremely excited and nervous.

The reply to the message from Su Family was also quick, so the meeting time for the two families was set for two days.

After Shen Zhu received the news, he planned to go to the Hundred Fragrance House and inform them, so that Manager Song could help him reserve a room for her.

Currently, Hundred Fragrance House was a bustling place of business everyday, and the private rooms on the second floor were all booked long ago.

After a while, when Shen Zhu was cleaning up the house, he took out a lot of Su Zongwen's old clothes.

The two of them had a much better life now. Su Zongwen also bought a lot of new clothes, which were placed at the bottom of the chest and not taken out to wear.

Shen Zhu took a look, although he was a little old, his clothes were still good, there were not even a patch on them.

She couldn't help but think back to that boy called Xiao Chong whom she met when she went out to buy vegetables. That morning was so cold, yet he was only wearing a thin layer of clothes, and they were still filled with patches.

Shen Zhu looked at the clothes in his hands, took out his needle and thread, and changed the clothes that Su Zongwen wasn't wearing a bit smaller. Then, he washed them clean and dried them, intending to deliver them to Xiao Chong tomorrow.
