This time's visit, Mrs. Yan was extremely satisfied. Although the third son and his wife were not great, these few kids were truly flawless.

  In the evening, Mrs. Yan had settled down and finally rested. Li Chao brought Li Wensong and Li Wenshan back after socializing all day. After washing up, they sat down leisurely and chatted idly.

  "This trip to the Tang's house, is it going smoothly?" Li asked anxiously.

  "It can't be any smoother than this." Mrs. Yan smiled, with a hint of emotion, "The third child is really...this good fortune is hard to come by, he has such a stubborn and unyielding temperament, and Xu Shi is so gentle, too yielding, I originally thought..."

  Mrs. Yan paused, the sentence she originally thought would only decline and perish in a generation or two was not spoken, "I didn't expect that the children of the third house are all good, and their fortunes are also good. To say, it's just that Liu Jie is slightly worse, her heart is not broad enough, and there is a bit of petty bourgeois air about her."

  The other three, Shan Ge didn't say anything, Ah Xia is really good. This time going to the Tang family, these three children, unexpectedly with the three from the Tang family, are all very close. Xian Ge picked out a big box of books and gave them to Lan Ge, Gu Da Nainai was amazed, saying that her son Xian Ge loved books the most, if he gave someone something, it would be books, which is really unusual. When leaving, the child held onto Lan Ge's hand, sending him off on the bus, and didn't want to let go.

  "That's good." Li Chuo let out a sigh of relief, "These days, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Xiaosanfang's children are all good, this is our blessing. Eldest son and his family... you know best, not causing trouble is our greatest fortune. It's better this way, thinking about it, in the future, we won't have to rely on just one person to support the whole household, how wonderful..."

  Li Cao's mouth said so, but his expression was very complicated.

  "Anything happen today?" Mrs. Yan asked cautiously, eyeing Li Chuo's expression.

  "What's going on? Nothing, Shan Ge is fine, such a big child, his mouth is as tight as a sieve, it's really rare." Li Cao's face couldn't tell whether he was praising or annoyed.

  "What's with this case?" Madam Yan reacted quickly. Li Chuo reluctantly nodded, "This child, indeed."

  "If he really said that, you wouldn't be able to sleep now." Madam Yan gave Li Chuo a sideways glance and scolded.

  "It's also." Li Cao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "I'm not his father after all."

  "It's just him, I don't think he'd dare say it." Mrs. Yan laughed and added, "I think so too, probably even less likely to say it now."

  Li Cuosi also burst out laughing, and then revealed a few points of helplessness, "To say it, he still doesn't trust me, sigh."

  "Don't be in a hurry, time will reveal people's hearts. After all, it's been over a decade since we last had contact, no matter how close... this closeness is all just a facade, and that's for the best. Master always says, to always maintain a cautious heart, that's the way to peace." Madam Yan gently advised.

  Li Chuo nodded slowly, "You're right, I was a bit impatient too. I thought that after the first month, let Song Ge return and have a good talk with his mother. Our family should still be cautious. Alas, don't mention other things, but there's one thing Mr. Qin said that is absolutely right - the Emperor is only 34 years old."

  "Hmm." Mrs. Yan responded softly.

  ………………

  The next day, Mrs. Yan had tea and refreshments set out in the garden, where she chatted with Mrs. Xue about everyday things while admiring the flowers and scenery. After resting for half a day, they had lunch, then took several children to Qingyuan Pavilion by the Qinhuai River.

  Qingyuan Pavilion is adjacent to Qinhuai River, which is one of the good places to watch small performances and river lanterns. A month or two ago, Mrs. Yan had already sent someone to book a elegant room.

  Li Dong and her three siblings had been listening to Li Wen Nan and Li Wen Fang talk for a whole morning about how magnificent the martial arts performance would be on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year at Qinhuai River, how the river lanterns would shine like a silver river falling from the sky, and so on. Of course, this was the first time Li Wen Nan and Li Wen Fang were spending the Spring Festival in Jiangning Prefecture, and they had only heard these stories themselves, which is why they spoke with such exaggeration.

  At this moment, they entered the elegant room of Qingyuan Pavilion. A group of children were all excitedly focused on the high platform, frame and river boat on the river. Li Wen Nan was even more chattering non-stop, pointing downstairs, saying this and that.

  Li Xia grasped the railing with both hands and gazed carefully at the ten-mile Qinhuai River in front of her.

  She had someone paint a picture of the ten-mile Qinhuai River for her to see, and the painting was very good, but compared to the real Qinhuai River in front of her, it lacked this vitality.

  What Gu Yu said is very right, West Lake is ethereal and elegant like a sunny spring day with white snow, while Qinhuai River is beautiful in its warmth and bustle, full of vitality, one resembles an ink wash painting, the other, a colorful New Year's picture.

  In comparison, she prefers the beautiful Qinhuai River in front of her. This ten-mile Qinhuai River was one of the main sources of military expenses for the southern pacification of bandits back then. Those years, she exploited this Qinhuai River too much...

  "Ah Xia, Ah Xia!" Li Wen Nan patted Li Xia, "Are you stunned? Come in quickly, it's still early. It's cold outside, let's go in and have some snacks. We have duck head, have you seen duck head before? Not the servant girl, but edible duck head, a duck's head. I love eating it, come on!"

  Li Wen Nan pulled Li Xia, bouncing into the house, pulling her to sit at the edge of the table, pointing to that plate of duck head and ordering: "Bring this over, both I and Ah Xia like it!"

  "I don't like it." Li Xia quickly expressed her attitude, she didn't eat anything with head and feet.

  "Axia, don't be afraid, it's delicious!" Li Wen Nan pressed Li Xia, "You must try it, I'm telling you, the first time, I was also scared, but after trying it, oh my, it's so delicious! You try it."

  "Not tasting it is better than feeling disgusted." Li Xia pushed away Li Wen Nan, who was trying to feed her. She was someone who had tasted all sorts of delicacies from around the world, and if she didn't want to eat something, then she just wouldn't eat it!

  "Try some of this duck brain, Xia. Just one bite..." Li Wen Nan scooped out the white brain from the halved duck head with a silver fork and fed it to Li Xia's mouth.

  Li Xiaohua's upper body leaned back with force, her head tilted and eyes closed, shouting "Save me".

  Li Wenlan rushed over to protect her sister, squeezing between Li Xia and Li Wennan, wanting to hug Li Xia out, but couldn't even lift her, he also couldn't move, wanting to push away Li Wennan, but couldn't bring himself to do it, this was also his sister, although not as cute, in a rush, jumped up and bit off the duck head, while biting hard and shouting: "Xia don't be afraid, sixth brother... will eat for you."

  Mrs. Yan laughed so hard that tears came out, one hand holding onto Mrs. Xu, the other waving at Li Dong and Li Wenfang who were about to get up, she waved for a long time before speaking, "Don't mind them, let them make a scene, Nanniang, you're the older sister, your younger sister said no, you can't do this, look how scared your younger sister is."
