After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

On the third day of the appointment with Chen Sheng, there was still no news about Li Yuanzhi.

During breakfast, the four little pods were eating flower rolls and talking about the people who were not present.

Xiao Miaomiao: "I wonder when Mr. Li will come back?"

Liu Guang: "Hey, let's not talk about it. Mr. Li is not at home. Why do you feel a little lonely?"

Jiang Xiaohua ate without changing her expression, her ears quietly perked up.

Liu Yong quickly glanced at Jiang Xiaohua and said casually, "Of course."

"Mr. Li lives in our house wholeheartedly."

"Thanks to him for helping my mother take care of all the big and small things inside and outside."

Liu Ming echoed: "Mr. Li also wants to correct our writing and watch us read."

"It's really hard when you think about it."

Xiao Miaomiao: "Mr. Li is also handsome."

Liu Guang: "He is also taller than many people."

Liu Ming: "Mr. Li is very knowledgeable."

Liu Yong: "Mr. Li has a good temper, a good heart, and is kind to others."

Jiang Xiaohua finally couldn't help but speak, "I noticed you guys... what's going on?"

Liu Guang stared and pretended to be innocent, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xiaohua put down her chopsticks and scanned the faces of the four little ones one by one.

"In the past, when Mr. Li was at home, I never heard you praise him like this."

"Why do you try your best to flatter him when he is not at home?"

"And looking back on these past few days, you have always said good things about him in front of me."

Jiang Xiaohua frowned and stared at the four of them, "Something's wrong."

The four little Doudings were all excited. Could it be that the secret was revealed so quickly? !

Although they were panicking inside, they still pretended to be extremely calm on their faces.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Mr. Li has been out for several days."

"When we were washing up last night, we talked about how we were fleeing from famine on the road, and Mr. Li told us stories."

Liu Guang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, we all miss him."

Xiao Miaomiao pricked her eyes nervously, "Yeah, I don't know if Mr. Li is okay outside."

Jiang Xiaohua glanced at Liu Yong. This kid never lied, and it didn't look like he was lying at this moment.

She didn't think much about it and sighed, "It's indeed worrying."

"But he said that no matter whether he finds it or not, he will definitely return in ten days at most."

She smiled and comforted the children, "You Mr. Li are so smart, you will be fine."

"Eat quickly, we have to go to school after dinner."

In fact, what Jiang Xiaohua didn’t know was.

Why does Liu Yong not seem to be lying? It's because he is telling the truth.

The four little ones were walking in the alley in the early morning.

Because Plan A didn't work, they were all a little downcast.

When Liu Guang saw that there was no one around, he said, "We have mentioned Mr. Li in front of her several times a day, but why do I see no reaction from her?"

Liu Ming said, "Did we think too much and mother didn't mean that at all?"

Liu Yong was silent for a while and said, "I think...it's still hard to say."

"But if plan A doesn't work, there is still plan B."

The implementation of Plan B will have to wait for Li Yuanzhi's return.

Xiao Miaomiao asked, "What if Plan B doesn't work either?"

Liu Yong said, "That means my mother does not like Mr. Li."

"We don't have to work hard to match up."

Liu Guang said worriedly, "In my opinion, it's better to ask mother directly if she likes Mr. Li."

"If she likes it, we can just be her matchmaker."

Liu Yong glared at his younger brother, "If you can ask directly about this kind of thing."

"Mom, just go find Mr. Li by yourself. What else do you need from us?"

Liu Guang, Liu Ming, and Xiao Miaomiao nodded.

Liu Yong once again solemnly reiterated, "We want to help my mother take care of her worries, not add to her worries."

"Whether Mom wants to get married and who she wants to get married to is her private matter."

"We can only stay with mother. When we need to work harder, we should work harder. We must not interfere too much."

This time Chen Sheng asked Jiang Xiaohua to meet at the teahouse.

He told his nephew Chen Dawei in advance and asked Chen Dawei to ask Liu Yong to give a message in the school.

This teahouse is not far from Xingyuan Lane.

Jiang Xiaohua went out for a walk, turned right after exiting the alley, and soon saw a teahouse.

An unknown teahouse without a plaque.

It is a small independent two-story building with a small facade, but the carved beams and painted pillars are exquisitely decorated.

Jiang Xiaohua glanced at the red plum blossoms blooming at the door and confirmed that this was the store Chen Sheng was talking about.

She strolled forward.

The waiter at the door opened the curtain, bowed and said with a smile, "The guest looks a bit unfamiliar. Do you have an appointment or an introduction from an acquaintance or friend?"

Jiang Xiaohua was startled. After arriving in this dynasty, this was the first time she encountered a store where reservations were required upon entry.

The waiter saw Jiang Xiaohua in a daze and thought she didn't understand the special rules in the store.

He continued to explain with a smile, "The number of tea tables in our store is really limited, so the owner made this rule."

Jiang Xiaohua asked curiously, "If I don't have an appointment and am not introduced by a friend, can't I come in for tea?"

The waiter was very polite, "If the reservation is full at that time, I can only regret it."

"Just like now, there is still a location, and customers can also enter the store to drink tea in a special way."

Jiang Xiaohua found it very interesting and asked, "In what way?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Maybe compose a poem, or paint a picture with ink, or write down some calligraphy."

He turned around and raised his hand, pointing to the huge plain white screen behind him.

"Then it will be hung in our store for one day for guests to appreciate and comment on today."

Jiang Xiaohua broke into a cold sweat.

Writing poetry, painting, and calligraphy are all things she is not good at.

She really wanted to meet the owner of this shop. Who was he? He was so cunning?

Jiang Xiaohua was about to tell Chen Sheng's name directly.

Another waiter came out and said, "Isn't the distinguished guest that the boss asked you to wait for come yet?"

The waiter standing in front of Jiang Xiaohua was about to answer when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Xiaohua.

"May I ask my lady's surname?"

Jiang Xiaohua replied in one breath, "If your surname is Jiang, I'm looking for Chen Sheng."

Both guys were shocked.

They quickly separated and stood on both sides, making a gesture of invitation.

"It turns out that the distinguished guest has arrived. Please come with us."

Jiang Xiaohua realized that the "honored guest waiting for me" was herself. She was shocked and had no choice but to follow them.

After entering the lobby, you realize that there is a different world.

Compared with ordinary teahouses in the market, there are no tables one after another here.

In the middle is a landscape composed of rocks, small bridges and flowing water.

Maybe it has to do with the warmth in the room.

There are all kinds of plants growing among the rocks and flowing water.

Jiang Xiaohua only recognized orchids, so she looked at them twice as she passed by, "Your boss likes orchids very much?"

The waiter nodded and said with a smile, "In a few days, during the Chinese New Year, the orchids will be in full bloom."

"The owner will invite literati and friends from Beijing to come to enjoy the flowers and have a banquet."
