Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

In the blink of an eye, seeing Zheng Chun standing there blankly, Cheng Ruhua smiled evilly and said, "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting to be beaten?"

Zheng Chunru woke up from a dream, bit her lip, stamped her feet, and then led the little maid away quickly.

Seeing the two of them walking away in despair, the girls each winked and then quietly dispersed.

Ning Yu and Si Shaofeng held melons and fruits in their hands and watched a good show for free. When they saw everyone leaving, they walked up to Cheng Ruhua.

Si Shaofeng picked a cantaloupe at random, wiped it on his clothes, made a "click" sound, and took a bite.

While eating, he said: "Ruhua, people say that a hero has a hard time with beauty, but you are a beauty and have a hard time with youth. How come you can perfectly solve the problem of Ning Yu in water and fire every time?"

He still remembered that Cheng Ruhua was like a tomboy when she was a child, and she liked to take Ning Yu with her when she was learning to make tofu with her master.

As long as someone bullies Ning Yu, Cheng Ruhua will definitely beat that person to the ground.

But later on, when Ning Yu decided to follow him, the two of them gradually faded away.

Ning Yu also smiled and said loudly: "Thank you, Miss Ruhua."

Ruhua waved her hand casually: "Brother Shaofeng, you don't have to be polite."

Then he said to Ning Yu: "Xiao Bai Tuanzi, are you finally willing to talk to your sister?"

After Cheng's father died, Cheng Ruhua received her father's pension and learned to make tofu with Uncle Zhang, who sold tofu.

Because they were similar in age, he and Ning Yu played together a lot at that time.

When she was a child, Ning Yu was as soft and waxy as a pink and white dumpling. She followed him every day, as long as a flower and as short as a flower. Later, as she grew older, she gradually became distant from her.

Seeing Ning Yu holding a bunch of things, Ruhua hurried forward: "Why are you so reserved? Why are you still the same as when you were a child?"

As he spoke, he took the things from Ning Yu's hand and turned around to send them to the tofu case.

The tofu case has been piled up, and among the flowers and fruits, the pink and white silk flower handkerchief is particularly conspicuous.

Cheng Ruhua flipped through it casually, then picked up a piece of pink and white silk with disgust, looked at the two mandarin ducks embroidered on it, and said, "Li Yourong hates getting married so much that he actually gives someone a token of love on the street?"

She picked a blue silk flower and put it on her temples. She looked at Ning Yu and asked, "Little white dumplings, do they look good?"

Ning Yu smiled lightly: "It looks good and matches your dress just right."

Si Shaofeng threw away the melon and said vaguely: "Don't tell me yet, this silk flower and Zhen are worthy of you and Zhen, show off!"

Ruhua gave Si Shaofeng a white look: "You are the only one who can speak!"

Ning Yu looked at the things on the case and said, "These things are of little use to us. If sister doesn't mind, just use them."

Ruhua was holding various handkerchiefs to comment on the embroidery skills of the ladies from each family. Her eyes widened when she heard this: "Xiao Bai Tuanzi, what did you just call me?!"

Ever since Ning Yu became sensible, she has gradually become alienated from Ruhua. She often follows Si Shaofeng and hides away from her when he sees her. Now, calling her sister makes Ruhua happy.

Ever since Ning Yu learned that boys and girls pee differently, she intentionally played with the boys and rarely had any contact with herself.

Cheng Ruhua was the only one who knew that Ning Yu, like herself, needed to squat.

She put down her handkerchief and circled around Ning Yu, saying in surprise: "You are finally willing to call me sister again!"

Ning Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Ruhua."

Cheng Ruhua couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Ning Yu's head affectionately, smiling and saying:

"Hey, hey, I'm just saying, Xiaobai Dumpling is so good and warm, how can he not recognize his sister? Well, these are still hot, it's best to take them back and make steamed tofu."

Ruhua hurriedly packed two pieces of steaming tofu and stuffed them between the two of them.

"Xiao Bai Tuanzi, if you have any difficulties in the future, ask your sister, she will support you!"

Si Shaofeng coughed lightly and said, "Ruhua, Ning Yu is also the eldest son of Duke Anguo now. It's inappropriate to call him such a little white dumpling."

Ning Yu touched her nose: "Sister, just call me Ning Yu."

Cheng Ruhua looked at Ning Yu's indistinguishable handsome face and couldn't help but lower her eyes.

Time is such a good thing. In just a few years, Ning Yu has changed from a timid and cowardly person to the noble, handsome and cheerful young man he is today.

She smiled lightly: "Okay, from now on, my sister will call you Ning Yu."

As the sun set in the west, Ning Yu and Si Shaofeng each took two pieces of tender tofu and returned to their house.

On the second day, in the gorgeous carriage of the Duke's Mansion, An Guogong Ning Liancheng gently hugged Fang Yuan and spread knowledge about the Duke's Mansion to Ning Yu.

"Zhongyong Hou is now the best among the military generals. He won the battle and retreated bravely at the most glorious time. He returned to the court and became an idle prince."

"The late emperor was grateful for his loyalty and allocated the largest house in Shengjing City to him. From then on, the old Marquis paid no attention to the government affairs and only focused on taking care of his family. He gradually faded away from the court."

Ning Liancheng felt a little regretful: "Even when something happened to his subordinate General Hua's house, the status of the Hou's house in the capital was still not affected."

Hearing this, Ning Yu wondered: "In the past, when one of his men was in jail, this old marquis didn't come to rescue him?"

Ning Liancheng sighed: "The Hua family is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Who dares to save them? It's impossible not to involve themselves."

"Since then, the Hou Mansion has kept a lower profile. Since the birth of the prince more than ten years ago, there has been no happy news. Today's banquet has attracted most of the court in Beijing to come."

"There are even rumors that the crown prince and several princes will also attend. The scene is no worse than the flower appreciation banquet in the palace. Yu'er, there are many noble people today. You must be careful with your words and deeds, and don't be greedy for money."

Ning Yu, who knew his son better than his father, came home late several times, all because of drinking, and Ning Liancheng spoke bitterly.

Ning Yu looked at Yin Yin looking at her parents, and nodded slightly: "Yu'er understands."

Several people walked to the gate of the Hou Mansion, presented generous gifts, and then were led by the servants respectively to the male guests and female dependents area.

Ning Liancheng felt uneasy about Fang Yuan for a moment, so he escorted her all the way to the door of the female family members.

Huo Shuyuan greeted her from a distance and said jokingly: "Oh, I have long heard that the Duke of Guo loves his wife, but now that I have seen it in person, I really envy her."

Huo Shuyuan's straightforward and aggressive temperament was well known to everyone in Shengjing, so Ning Liancheng was not annoyed.

He only smiled and said: "Yuan'er has had a stomachache recently and should not drink alcohol. Please be more considerate of her, Mrs. Maid."

Huo Shuyuan took Fang Yuan from Ning Liancheng and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord, I promise that your wife will come back just as she came."

Fang Yuan's jade-like face was slightly red, and she said to Ning Liancheng: "Master, please go back quickly. I'll be fine here in Shuyuan."

Huo Shuyuan and Fang Yuan met at a banquet, and she liked this timid person like jade very much.

After several intentional contacts, Huo Shuyuan finally became one of Fang Yuan's few handkerchief friends.

But Fang Yuan didn't like the excitement, and their friendship was limited to banquets in various houses.

As May approaches, the gardens in the Hou Mansion are full of spring scenery, creating a lively scene.

When Ning Yu and Si Shaofeng were welcomed in, Du Yue was talking to Qin Zhongshu, surrounded by people in twos and threes.

As soon as they saw the two of them coming together, all the young dandies came out to welcome them in a friendly and lively manner.
