The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 265 Little Mouth
"I don't know." Shi Tou poked at the fish in his bowl. "When I went there, the girl had already left with her uncle. I didn't see her."

Shang Wan: "You at least know my last name, right?"

"His surname is Luo." Stone dipped in water and wrote this character on the table.

Everyone craned their necks to look.

Xiao Huan pouted: "Knowing only a surname isn't enough to find someone."

There are quite a few families with the surname Luo in the city.

Stone asked in confusion, "Why do we need to find someone?"

He hasn't even met that girl yet; they have absolutely no connection.

Everyone: Of course we're curious, what else could it be?
"I shouldn't have stopped you." Shang Wan regretted it a little. If she hadn't stopped Shi Tou at the door, Shi Tou might have seen the girl.

Shi Tou is seventeen now; it's time to think about settling down and starting a family. The girl Dean Luo introduced shouldn't be bad; it would be a shame to miss out.

"It's not too late to get married after Shi Tou passes the imperial examination," Lu Chengjing comforted Shang Wan. They were going to the capital, and they couldn't take the girl with them.

"That's true." Shang Wan clicked her tongue, deciding to just assume that the stone and the girl were not meant to be.

"If you don't want to find that girl, then what are you worried about?" Xiao Huan asked, looking at Shi Tou.

Shi Tou sighed, "I don't want to get married yet, but I'm already at the age where I should settle down. What should I do?"

He hadn't thought about this at all before the dean wanted to arrange a marriage for him; the thought of getting married and having children made him extremely worried.

Does one absolutely have to get married?

Everyone: "..."

Are you afraid of anyone forcing you to get married?
Shang Wan placed another piece of fish into the stone bowl and said caringly, "Here, have a piece of fish to nourish your brain."

Shi Tou looked at his sister. Was his sister saying he was stupid?
“If you don’t want to get married, then you don’t have to.” Lu Chengjing didn’t expect Shi Tou to be troubled by this, and said gently, “Neither your sister nor I will pressure you.”

"Really?" Stone perked up and stared at his brother-in-law.

“Of course.” Lu Chengjing nodded. After getting married, one must take responsibility for the whole family. If Shi Tou himself is unwilling, why hurt the girl?
With Lu Chengjing's assurance, Shi Tou's long face disappeared, and he was in the mood for dinner.

Three days later, the county magistrate, forced into a corner by his wife, reluctantly stamped his seal on the document.

"It's done." Madam Sun picked up the document and walked out.

The county magistrate hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go play cards with your sisters," Madam Sun waved her hand. "You can have dinner by yourself tonight, don't wait for me."

The county magistrate, who used and then discarded the goods: "..."

What the hell is this!

Meanwhile, inside the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Shang Wan lowered her eyes and stared at Chu Xu, wondering where this kid had come from.

Chu Xu put his hands behind his back, grinned at Shang Wan, and said, "Aunt Shang, I've come to pick you up to go to the capital."

The child has grown taller since we left, and his face isn't as round anymore, but he looks very energetic.

Shang Wan looked behind him and asked, "Did you come alone?"

"No, Uncle Shi brought me here. My brother told him to go to the city to find someone, and he'll come over once he finds them."

Chu Xu grabbed Shang Wan's hand and shook it. "Aunt Shang, I know that Uncle Lu has become the top scholar in the imperial examination. I've already talked to my father and brother. I want to go to the capital with you."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out two five-hundred-tael silver notes, placing them in Shang Wan's hand. "Aunt Shang, this is my living expenses... please keep it."

Shang Wan: "..."

Did she agree?
The child clearly assumed she wouldn't refuse, and after taking out the silver note, he started looking around, asking, "Where's Yuanyuan?"

"She's walking her tortoise at home." Shang Wan accepted the silver notes for the time being. Since things at the shop had already been arranged, it didn't matter whether she stayed or not. She simply took Chu Xu home.

Chu Xu's little mouth kept chattering the whole way.

“Aunt Shang, my mother is using the Jade Complexion Cream from Lingyao Pavilion. She really likes it and wants to meet you.” “I’ve learned marksmanship, and my father and brother both praised me.”

"That guy surnamed Zhong sent his father to prison, I heard it was for treason. The Emperor allowed Zhong to inherit the title, he's a marquis now, and he's very popular with the Emperor."

"The Wang family's plan has failed; His Highness the Crown Prince has not chosen a woman from the Wang family as his Crown Princess."

"The Lu family you hate was robbed. The patriarch of the Lu family was stabbed by the thief and was still recovering in bed when I left. The patriarch of the Lu family was terrified and fell seriously ill. I heard she's not doing well."

"Their second son was making a fuss about separating the family property, which hadn't happened when I left the capital."

"Aunt Shang, I've grown taller."

Is Aunt Xiaohuan home? I want to eat her sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Is Uncle Stone a good student? Does the teacher scold him?"

The child was quite excited, skipping and hopping as he walked, saying whatever came to mind, talking so much that Shang Wan could only listen.

Many of the things the child had mentioned in his letter were explained in more detail now that he was here in person.

One spoke and the other listened, and the two returned to their residence.

Chu Xu turned his head and looked around. He wasn't looking at the house; he was looking for Yuan Yuan.

Hearing her mother's voice, Yuanyuan peeked her little head out from the big tree by the courtyard wall and called out sweetly, "Mother."

The little turtle swayed its neck from side to side on her head, as if it were greeting the people under the tree.

Shang Wan looked up at the child in the tree. How did the tortoise end up in the tree?

"Yuanyuan!" Chu Xu jumped up and waved his little hand as soon as he saw the familiar little face. "I've come to find you!"

Yuanyuan finally saw Xu clearly and stared in surprise.

Seeing that Yuanyuan was ignoring him, Chu Xu thought that Yuanyuan didn't remember him, so he hurriedly said, "Yuanyuan, I'm Brother Anian."

Yuan Yuan tilted her little head and stared at Chu Xu, who was bouncing around, for a long time before her eyes crinkled into a smile and she called out, "Brother!"

"Hey!" Chu Xu replied happily, hugging the tree trunk and climbing up.

He went to find Yuanyuan.

Shang Wan was initially worried that the two children would grow distant after not seeing each other for a year, but now it seems she was overthinking it.

She leaped up the tree on her toes and pulled the two children down with her.

Yuanyuan flapped her short arms and pointed to Shang Wan's belly, introducing her to Chu Xu, "Little sister."

Chu Xu: "?"

Yuanyuan continued pointing: "Pretty, little sister."

Chu Xu stared at Shang Wan's belly, and after Yuan Yuan's repeated explanations, he finally understood that his Aunt Shang was pregnant.

Shang Wan pinched the round little face helplessly, "Yes, yes, everyone knows you're going to have a little sister."

You really don't need to tell everyone you meet.

Although she didn't know whether she was carrying a boy or a girl, since her son said it was a little girl, then it must be a little girl.

Yuanyuan grinned, revealing a set of small white teeth.

"A-Nian!" Xiao Huan came in from outside the gate carrying a basket of vegetables. She spotted the child standing next to Shang Wan and walked over with surprise. "When did you arrive?"

"Aunt Xiao Huan." Chu Xu ran over happily and hugged Xiao Huan. "I missed you so much."

"Good boy." Xiao Huan picked up the child and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me or want to eat my sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Chu Xu's eyes darted around, "I want them all!"

Young Master Chu made no choice.

"You're so sweet-talking." Xiao Huan smiled and gently pinched the child's nose. "I just bought some ribs, I'll cook them for you in a bit."
