Shen Rong felt a little ashamed after hearing what the old lady said.

She didn't know anyone in the capital, so when she needed help, she subconsciously thought of Master Zhou Er.

But if you think about it carefully, what the old lady said makes a lot of sense.

"You guys go back first. I'll take care of the banquet. I'll have Nanny Hua go to your courtyard in the next few days and tell you about the situation of each family in the capital."

The old lady thought of those old sisters whom she had not interacted with for many years, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Since she became a widow, she has been hiding in a Buddhist temple and avoiding the world. Later, when her mother-in-law passed away and her daughter-in-law was useless, she came out to manage the household.

When she took over the household supplies, she found that the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion had been squeezed out of the circle of nobles and had become what those people called a impoverished family.

No matter who was holding a banquet, no one would send an invitation to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

If she put aside her old reputation and looked for her old sisters, she should be able to achieve her wish.

The old lady had a way, so Shen Rong and Changsheng didn't say much. After saying goodbye to the old lady, the family of four returned to Guiyuan.

Changsheng didn't know if he had taken the rumors outside to heart. As soon as he entered Guiyuan, he went back to his study to read.

The two little ones pestered Shen Rong to take a nap.

Shen Rong understood that the two siblings were not going to take a nap, but went into the bedroom to enter the space.

Shen Rong thought there was nothing to do at the moment, so she asked Juxiang to guard the yard and took the two children into the bedroom.

Shen Rong locked the door, turned around and said to the brother and sister, "You can't stay in there any longer, understand?"

Shen Rong never enters the space during the day, but only at night, so as to reduce the risk of being discovered.

"Well, mom, I'm just curious and want to take a look at the durian. After we see it, we'll come out." Pingping promised.

Soon, the mother and her two children entered the space.

As soon as Shen Rong entered the space, she saw the two tall durian trees, full of golden, thorny fruits.

The fruit trees were not close to Shen Rong and the others, but Shen Rong could still smell a fragrant yet stinky smell.

The durian tree was very tall, and the fruit closest to them was two meters high. Shen Rong didn't have the ability to bring down such a large fruit covered with thorns.

You can try tying a hatchet to a bamboo pole, cut the durian stem, and the fruit will fall naturally.

But the fruit was too big. Not to mention whether it would hit someone if it fell, if it fell from such a high place, it would definitely break into several pieces.

Shen Rong thought about it for a while and finally decided to ask Changsheng to come in.

"You two wait a moment, I'll go call your father." Shen Rong left the space and went to the study room opposite.

In the study, Changsheng was reading very seriously, and he didn't even notice when Shen Rong entered the study.

Shen Rong was a little surprised to see Changsheng reading a book called "The Great Learning".

You know, the last time I saw Changsheng reading, he was only reading "Three Character Classic". Just a few days ago, Changsheng actually started reading "The Great Learning".

Shen Rong couldn't clean up Changsheng for a while. Just as she was about to leave, Changsheng put down the book in his hand and turned to look at Shen Rong, "What's the matter?"

Shen Rong shook her head. "It's okay. Just keep watching!"

After saying that, she turned around and left the study.

Seeing this, Changsheng put down the book in his hand and followed Shen Rong out of the study and into the bedroom.

As soon as Changsheng entered the bedroom, he saw that the brother and sister were not there. What else was there to be confused about?

Shen Rong turned around and saw him following her into the house. She said, "Why are you here? I'm fine here. Go back and read your book!"

Changsheng took Shen Rong's hand and motioned her to enter the space, but replied: "No, I have already prepared those books."

Changsheng's books were all bought by the palace when Pingping started his education. Although there were not many, the Four Books and Five Classics were all there.

Changsheng started reading one book at a time, from the simplest to the most difficult. As a result, he memorized all the books he had read carefully.

Shen Rong knew that Changsheng had always had a good memory, but she didn't expect that he had memorized the entire book.

The two entered the space again and saw two children standing under the tree, looking up at the huge fruits on the tree.

Changsheng changed into a pair of shorts, rubbed his hands, and started climbing the tree.

Changsheng has climbed trees a lot in Taohua Village since he was a child, and climbing trees is a piece of cake for him.

I saw him holding the tree trunk with both hands, with his toes on the trunk, like a big monkey, trying hard to climb up.

Although Changsheng was quite big, he was very agile and climbed up to the first branch in no time.

Ping Ping saw his father climb the tree to pick fruits as soon as he arrived. He clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Daddy, hurry up! Pick the biggest ones!"

An An was standing aside, watching his father climbing up the tree trunk, and clapped his hands happily, "Big one, I want a big one!"

Finally, under the guidance of the brother and sister, Changsheng picked a huge durian, weighing about fifty or sixty kilograms.

Finally, it was lowered with a rope, trying not to drop any of the fruits.

As soon as the fruit fell to the ground, the brother and sister immediately gathered around.

I saw that the fruit was not broken at the bottom by Changsheng, but it was still cracked, and the cracked part exuded a fragrant yet smelly smell.

Pingping covered his nose, "It stinks! It stinks!"

An An curiously touched the durian shell next to him.

And Shen Rong discovered that the brightness of this durian had a rather overbearing taste.

At this time, Changsheng also slowly came down from the tree, and used a hatchet to break a hole in the thorny durian shell, revealing the golden flesh. The overbearing smell instantly became stronger.

Pingping: "Ugh... it stinks!"

An An squatted aside and took a deep breath at the thorny fruit. "It smells so good!"
