Chapter 649 Staying at another courtyard

Shen Ruyi picked up a book and flipped through it: "That's true. I suddenly feel very relaxed. I was a bit too tense before."

We should take a break. Since we're not in a rush, let's stay here a little longer.

She replied, "Sure, this place has nice scenery. Let's go pick mushrooms on the mountain after the rain stops."

Catching corrupt officials is a good thing, but it requires too much mental effort, which is exhausting, not physically, but mentally.

She still prefers a simple life.

"Alright, we've been out for quite a while now. I wonder how much Chang Le and Chen Nan have changed?"

"That's right. Putting everything else aside, he'll definitely grow a lot taller."

Breakfast consisted of porridge, accompanied by a few refreshing side dishes; there wasn't time to prepare anything else.

Ying Wu reported: "I just went to the village across the street and bought some chickens, ducks and geese. We should be able to eat them at noon."

"I'll go check the kitchen. How about we have braised chicken for lunch?" Yi Ren said.

Previously, they always followed local customs and bought whatever food was available locally.

But in this situation, I suddenly crave braised chicken with potatoes; maybe I'm homesick.

Shen Ruyi: "Okay, let's have braised chicken for lunch and stewed goose for dinner."

Let's have some chicken soup simmering on the stove beforehand, then we'll have wild vegetable and chicken soup hot pot for dinner. There's no shortage of mushrooms and wild vegetables here."

After saying that, he said to Shadow Five, "Everyone has been working hard lately. If you want to eat something, just let the kitchen know. It's up to you."

"Don't try to save money. If you can't handle it all, just hire a few cooks from across the street to come and help."

"Good master."

The rain gradually stopped around noon, but the sky was still dark, and it looked like it would continue to rain.

Shen Ruyi found a jade pendant suitable for a child to wear and a Duan inkstone, and sent Xihe as her representative to meet the host here.

I heard that the children here are just over six years old.

When Xihe returned, she brought with her a little follower, a mischievous boy and a servant boy of eleven or twelve years old.

The little devil, with a pair of big, round eyes set in a fair and clean little round face, hopped over, holding Xihe's hand.

She had a small bun tied in her hair with a strip of cloth, which swung as she walked, making her look especially cute, though she was a bit thin.

They were both curious and shy about Shen Ruyi, and couldn't help but steal glances at her and Yiren.

Yi Ren walked over and ruffled the little devil's head. "Why did you bring someone else's child here?" She habitually touched the bones.

Xihe smiled and said, "Isn't it cute?"

When I arrived, he was secretly watching us from the doorway. He probably hadn't seen so many of us before, so he was a little curious.

While I was chatting with his mother, he gradually crept up to me, so I invited him to have lunch with us.

Shen Ruyi asked, "Does your young master have any dietary restrictions?"

Xiao Si replied cautiously, "My lord, my young master has a weak stomach and can't eat anything too cold, but he's fine otherwise."

"Ah."

After examining the bones, Yi Ren said, "This body is a bit weak, much weaker than Chang Le and Chen Nan. He should eat properly."

"Your Excellency, my young master has been in poor health since birth. He is prone to fever and cannot tolerate heat or cold. He falls ill if we are not careful."

“Oh, there’s still some time before dinner. I’ll take him to see Uncle Chen,” he said, picking up the little rascal. “Let’s go, follow me.”

She was mainly feeling bored and wanted to find something to do.

She'd been drinking tea for half the morning; it must be fate that they'd met.

"Go ahead," Shen Ruyi said, knowing that Yiren couldn't sit still and wanted to go out for a stroll.
