The butler was speechless.
He suspected that Master’s motive was impure, but he did not dare to say it.

County Magistrate Shen looked at his stupid son and thought of the two smart children in the afternoon, especially the girl with black pearl-like eyes. He immediately showed disdain in his eyes. “Have you memorized your books? Have you finished your homework? Have you practiced your calligraphy?”
Shen Tianci was instantly terrified and ran away. “I’ll tell Ning Erlang!”
Ning Erlang was yawning at the stall. His sister and brother were not here today, so he was a little bored alone. Just as his sister had said, sour bamboo shoots no longer sell well. After deducting the stall fees, he did not earn much money. He planned to stop after they started planting seedlings next month.
The people from the restaurant and cloth shop had just come. When they heard that his sister was not around, they looked very disappointed. He could not help but be quite curious. What exactly did they want his sister to make that was so delicious?
The more he thought about it, the hungrier he became. Looking at the stall that was still empty, he decided to leave early. Shen Tianci came at this time.
Knowing that Shen Tianci’s father wanted to visit them, Ning Erlang could not react at first. He only shivered when he agreed. “Your father? Isn’t he the county magistrate?”
Shen Tianci felt that this form of address made his father sound old, but he couldn’t refute it. Then, he saw Ning Erlang rubbing his hands nervously. “Then, we have to prepare well. What does your father like to eat? What does he hate? Aiya, do you think 1 should make a new set of clothes to meet your father?”
Are you meeting your future in-laws!? Shen Tianci complained in his heart, but he was also a little jealous. “Why didn’t I see you value me so much in the past? My father is the county magistrate, so I’m also the young master of the county magistrate’s family!” Wouldn’t it be awesome if word got out?
Ning Erlang smacked his lips and thought to himself that it was mainly because Shen Tianci did not have that kind of temperament. However, under Xiaoxiao’s guidance, he now understood that some truths could not be said. “Because you’re too approachable and I accidentally forgot.”

Ning Erlang agreed and felt deep veneration. “As expected of the county magistrate. His words make sense.”
Shen Tianci completed the messenger mission with mixed feelings. He went back and told his father, “Erlang said that his sister has been busy studying new dishes recently. She was afraid that she would not treat us well, so she made an appointment with me for lunch in 10 days. After eating, it will be time to go home. I can even sleep in the carriage.”
County Magistrate Shen was very sharp. “You added that last sentence yourself, right?”
Shen Tianci blushed and hid behind his mother’s back. County Magistrate Shen despised him even more. He wondered how the Ning Family raised such a pair of smart children. Unfortunately, he was not destined to have such a cute daughter.
Sigh, why did they accidentally give birth to a silly son?
County Magistrate Shen, who was busy every day, felt that time passed too slowly. He had a feeling that the next 10 days would be very difficult, but he didn’t want to suffer alone. Hence, he wrote down five new chapters and recited them for his son.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao’s prawn dumplings were already in the process of being made. The prawns they caught were fresh and lively, and their flesh was fair and firm. It was obvious that the prawns had swam in the river a lot. She said to her brother, “These prawns will pop your mouth after they’re steamed. 1 guarantee that you won’t be able to stop eating..”
