Chapter 52 Lantern Festival
Zhou Mansion guest room.

Xu Shu and Chen Zhi came back almost at the same time.

After sitting down, they exchanged ideas about today's conversation.

The women talked about family matters, but Chen Zhi's situation was quite different. In his words, it was like being tested on his studies by his teacher during his school years.

"My uncle has built up such a huge business, so he must be experienced in business. It will not be wrong to learn from him." Xu Shuhe said softly.

I’m afraid that this child will develop an aversion to studying.

After all, most people don’t like being tested on their homework. This is the mentality of most people.

Chen Zhi didn't ask her to worry. "I know. I've already told my uncle that I want to learn business from him and take good care of the shops my mother left me. My uncle agreed. It just so happens that my two cousins ​​are not in the capital, so I can help my uncle with some things."

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe sighed, these are real relatives. If Chen Zhi wasn't taken seriously, no one would have the time to teach him these things.

So at this moment he reminded Chen Zhi.

"Your uncle really loves you. If someone else wants to learn these business skills, I'm afraid your uncle won't easily teach them."

"Yes, my uncle, aunt, and grandmother are the ones who really treat me well." Chen Zhi whispered.

In his previous life, all his efforts were spent on the group of jackals in the Chen family, so he felt it even more deeply in this life.

In fact, even Chen Huaiqian in the Chen family was confused and biased, and didn't care about Chen Zhi at all.

Look, at this moment, Chen Zhi and Shu Shu had just arrived at Zhou's family in the capital. On the other side, in the Chen family's mansion, Feng had been released from house arrest.

As long as Xu Shuhe or Chen Zhi were not around, no one would speak in front of Chen Huaiqian. Chen Huaiqian would turn around and forget about the grievances of the two. Feng would let him go if she acted pitiful and mentioned their old relationship.

Of course, it doesn't affect the two of them at this moment.

"Young Madam, our cousin is here." Xinyue came in and delivered the message.

Interrupting the thoughts of the two people in the room.

Xu Shuhe stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Please come in. It's hot outside. Don't get sunburned."

"Yes." Xinyue hurried out.

Soon he led Zhou Ling into the house.

"Cousin, cousin!" Zhou Ling bowed awkwardly, smiling, "I just remembered that there is a lantern festival in the city today. Cousin, let's go together. It's so lively!"

Xu Shuhe immediately became interested, "Lantern Festival? Is there any festival?"

"Not really. It was in the palace. The Sixth Prince's mother, Concubine Qian, was celebrating her birthday. Concubine Qian was favored, so the Emperor ordered a lantern festival to be held in the city and sky lanterns to be released to pray for Concubine Qian," Zhou Ling explained.

Finally, he looked at the two of them with his big eyes blinking.

"Originally my two brothers said they wanted to go with me, but now they are out on business, and my two sisters-in-law don't like to go out much. It just so happens that you are here, so let's go together. You can also take a look at the night view of the capital, isn't it beautiful!"

"I" Chen Zhi hesitated. He didn't really like joining in this kind of fun.

But Xu Shuhe really wanted to go, and immediately turned to look at him.

"let's go!"

When she said this, her eyes were brighter than Zhou Ling's. If Chen knew about Ultraman, she would definitely ask Xu Shuhe whether she believed in it or not.

Of course, these are all other things. Seeing that Xu Shuhe was also very interested, Chen Zhi didn't want to spoil her fun, so he nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

"It's settled then. I'll call you guys out after dinner!"

After saying this, Zhou Ling left in great joy.

After dinner.

It gets dark late in the summer. When the three of them went out, it was not yet completely dark, but it was already bustling outside.

Even in front of Zhou's house, there were vendors setting up stalls to sell their wares. Zhou Lingdang often went out and was familiar with the vendors around him. As soon as he went out, he asked someone to buy three strings of candied haws and gave one string to each person.

Chen Zhi didn't like it, so he gave it to Xu Shuhe. Xu Shuhe couldn't eat sweet things either, so he gave it to Zhou Ling.

The little girl holds one in each hand and loves them very much.

Xu Shuhe felt her maternal love overflowing after seeing this.

No wonder my aunt loves her daughter so much. If she had such a lovely daughter, she would also love her like the apple of her eye.

Chen Zhi noticed that the look in Xu Shuhe's eyes when he looked at Zhou Ling was a bit like, well, maternal love, and he wondered about it for a moment.

As expected, she still likes children. If it weren’t for her poor health, it would not be suitable for her to get pregnant now. I guess she would want to have a child of her own as soon as possible.

He kept this thought in his heart. If Xu Shuhe knew about it, there would be no need to say anything.

It's worrying enough to have a son like him to raise.

When they reached the main street, carriages were not allowed to enter, so the three of them got off and walked.

Compared to Qizhou City, the capital city is several times more lively. I guess it has something to do with the birthday celebration for the imperial concubine in the palace today.

In short, there are bright lights and bustling crowds everywhere, and passers-by are all smiling. Most of them are well-dressed, giving a sense of prosperity.

Zhou Ling was a lively person and was familiar with the street. She quickly squeezed to the front with a few maids and looked around.

Xu Shuhe wanted to follow, but before he had taken a few steps, two little boys about eleven or twelve years old ran over and bumped into Xinyue. When they hurriedly dodged, they squeezed Xu Shuhe and made him stagger.

"Be careful!" Chen Zhi quickly reached out to support the man.

The two little boys stopped and apologized.

Seeing that they had a good attitude, Xu Shuhe naturally didn't care and just waved his hand and let them go.

In this capital city, throwing a brick can hit a powerful person on the head, so it’s better not to get into trouble.

"Where's Ling'er? There are a lot of people here today. Don't let her get separated from us. Hurry and follow them." Xu Shuhe said.

Zhang Ping stood on tiptoe and looked forward. "My cousin is at the stall selling lanterns in front."

Xu Shuhe nodded, "Okay, let's go over there too."

"Stay closer to me and don't crowd anyone." Chen Zhi whispered.

After he said that, he seemed to think this was too ambiguous, so he added another sentence.

"Don't worry, my cousin is fine. You are injured. My grandmother and aunt will scold me when I go back."

Xu Shuhe didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry, I'm an adult, how can I act like a child?"

Having said that, he went forward.

At this time, a young couple walked by, arm in arm, talking and laughing. Chen Zhi saw it, then looked up at Xu Shuhe who had already walked a few steps away, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

But after just a moment, the hesitation disappeared, and then he quickly stepped forward and held Xu Shuhe's hand.

"Hey?"

Xu Shuhe was a little confused by this sudden move and turned to look at him.

Chen Zhi looked ahead, not looking into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "There are so many people here, don't get lost."

Little did he know that his ears had already turned red as he said this.

Xu Shuhe felt a little uncomfortable being held by that warm big hand, but it was not good to just shake him off, so he just responded quietly and let him hold his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Ping called Xinyue, and the two of them followed behind at a close distance so as not to disturb their two masters.
