Seeing Zhou Jia’s stunned expression, Chu Sihai thought that he was happy because the emperor praised him. He smiled and patted him. “Lord Zhou, your future is bright! ”

Zhou Jia reacted and stood up to bow excitedly in the direction of the capital.

Then, he turned around and cupped his hands at Chu Sihai to thank him. “Head Shopkeeper, thank you for taking care of us.”

Chu Sihai looked at Zhou Jia and thought to himself that Lord Zhou was still as humble and polite as ever. No matter how much the couple did, they never fought for credit. Actually, this was the real smart person.

“Lord Zhou, I should be the one thanking you. If you and Madam hadn’t helped me many times, I wouldn’t have been so stable. Tell Madam Li that Chu Feng will take care of the leisure villa at the foot of Mount Spindle after you leave.” Chu Sihai said affectionately, “To be honest, His Majesty also praised me this time. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been praised! You don’t have to be so polite.”

Zhou Jia smiled and said, “Head Shopkeeper, I’ve never been polite to you.

You’ve been polite to me and have always addressed me respectfully.”

“Lord Zhou, it’s not that I’m being polite to you. Although I’m also working for

His Majesty, I’m only His Majesty’s servant. I can’t be rude and embarrass His

Majesty. Besides, you and Madam Li are people I admire.”

“You’re too polite, Head Shopkeeper. I also admire your fairness and loyalty to His Majesty.”

“Haha! It sounds like we’re flattering each other. I’ll take my leave. I’m setting off for the capital tomorrow morning. See you in the capital after the new year,” Chu Sihai said with a smile.

After Zhou Jia sent Chu Sihai off, he returned to the main courtyard and told Li Yu what Chu Sihai had said. Li Yu looked at him in surprise. “If it’s true, we can reunite with Ah Qing! But what about the people in the manor? Also, that villa is about to be repaired.”

Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “Head shopkeeper said that the villa can be handed over to Chu Feng to manage. The people on the farm? I think Scholar Liu is an upright person. We can ask him to be in charge and select two people to help Scholar Liu. What do you think?”

When Li Yu heard this, she felt that Zhou Jia’s suggestion was not bad. She nodded and said, “Let’s instruct Ruyi and Ji Xiang to prepare first. Don’t let it slip to the others. If the news is wrong, we’ll make a fool of ourselves.”

“I think so too. I’m thinking about Ah Qing’s marriage. I wonder what this kid is thinking. Is there a woman he wants to marry?”

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia with an arrogant expression. “My Ah Qing is outstanding in looks. Is he afraid of not having a wife?”

“That depends on his character. A virtuous wife will help the family prosper for three generations. If he marries that kind of mean, greedy, and selfish woman, our Ah Qing’s life will be ruined.” As Zhou Jia spoke, he smiled at Li Yu. “Thank goodness I have good taste and targeted my wife swiftly. My wife is outstanding and virtuous.”

“You give me goosebumps.” Li Yu glanced at Zhou Jia. “Are you kissing my ass?

Tell me honestly, did you do something bad?”

Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu’s hand and placed it on his chest. He looked at Li Yu lovingly and said with a gentle voice, “Wife, you can’t accuse me like this. Do I look like someone who does bad things?”

Li Yu’s heart warmed as she looked at the sincere Zhou Jia. She smiled and kissed his cheek. “I know. I was joking! Xiao Xi, go and see if Sir has woken up. He slept too much during the dav. I’m afraid he won’t sleep well at nißht.”

Zhou Jia looked at the smiling Li Yu and hugged her to kiss her cherry-red lips before reluctantly letting go of her. “You’re right. Let me take a look. Go and see Yang’er and Seven Pounds and let them come out to rest before writing.”

“Yes!” Li Yu watched as Zhou Jia went to Mr. Wen’s room. He stood under the eaves and looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky. In half a day, the courtyard was covered in snow, and the roof was also covered in snow.

Li Yu walked to the small study and saw that the two children were still writing seriously. She walked in and looked at the two of them gently. “You’ve been writing for so long. Come out and rest your eyes.”

“Alright, Mother. Is Grandmaster up?” Yangyang put down the pen and asked. Seven Pounds also looked up at Li Yu.

Li Yu touched their hair and said gently, “Father has already gone to wake

Grandmaster up. Go and talk to him.”

“Aye!” The two of them replied crisply. When they reached the door, they turned to look at Li Yu. “Mother, can we carry Xiao Bai and Da Hua for Grandmaster to see?”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Yes, you can’t run into the snow. Grandmaster is old and it’s easy to slip in the snow.”

“Got it,” they agreed in unison, and ran happily toward Mr. Wen’s room.

Li Yu came out of the small study and went to the second courtyard. She saw Xiaoyu holding her waist and clumsily pacing back and forth under the eaves. Only then did she remember that Xiaoyu was about to give birth in two months. If the imperial edict came earlier, Xiaoyu and Ruyi’s family probably wouldn’t be able to enter the capital together.

Seeing Li Yu standing there looking at her, Xiaoyu smiled and walked over to hold Li Yu’s hand. She said apologetically, “Madam, Seven Pounds has troubled you.”

Li Yu looked at her and smiled reproachfully. “Seriously, why are you so worried?! You taught Seven Pounds very well. How can a child not be naughty? I remember Uncle He often said that you were as naughty as a kid.”

“That’s true. When I was young, I was even more mischievous than my brother. My brother was honest and was often bullied by me. Sigh! I’ve never seen my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece!” Xiaoyu said in a low mood.

Looking at Xiaoyu’s depressed expression, Li Yu’s heart skipped a beat. “Xiaoyu, it’s only a month’s journey from here to Tongzhou. When you give birth and he grows stronger, let Ruyi bring you and the two children back to

Tongzhou to see your parents and brother!”

“Can I really?” Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu in surprise.

Li Yu looked at her with a smile. “Sure, why not? It’s peaceful now. You can go if you want.”

Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu gratefully. “Thank you, Madam. I’ll talk to Ruyi. When the child is half a year old, we’ll go back to Tongzhou to take a look.”

As Li Yu walked in with Xiaoyu, she smiled and said, “Alright, quickly go into the house to warm up. Look, your hands are cold. When Sir is done resting, come to the main courtyard and ask him to take your pulse.”

Xiaoyu nodded. “I understand, Madam. Go ahead!”

When Li Yu returned to the main courtyard, she saw Mr. Wen sitting at the entrance of the main hall. He looked lovingly at Yangyang and Seven Pounds building snowmen in the courtyard. When the two of them saw Li Yu coming over, they cupped the snowballs a few times and shouted at Li Yu with a smile, “Mother, (Madam), look out for the darts.”

Before the snowball could reach Li Yu, it fell into the snow with a bang. Li Yu smiled and walked down the courtyard. She grabbed a handful of snow with one hand and held it for a moment. She gently threw it at the two of them and warned them with a smile, “Bad boys, the snow bullets are coming. Hurry up and dodge!”

The snowball hit the two of them and they flew in all directions. Yangyang shouted at Seven Pounds, “Brother Seven Pounds, the enemy is attacking.

Hurry up and flank the attack.”

Li Yu laughed when she heard that. “Oh! Good kid. Who did you learn it from?

You’re so good.”

Seven Pounds said loudly, “Madam, Sir taught me. I learned it in a military book.”

Mr. Wen smiled as he watched the first and second children play in the courtyard. From time to time, he would remind Yangyang and Seven Pounds to be on guard against Li Yu’s attack..
