Chapter 1413 Famine and Natural Disaster 571
"Master, Mr. Cheng San is back." The guard reported the news to An San, and An San spoke to report.

The two people who were leaning against each other and watching the bustling pedestrians outside the window stopped talking.

Zhou Ting glanced at An San, then looked down at the little girl hidden by his body, his deep eyes concealing reluctance, "Yi Yi, your father is here to pick you up."

"Then I should go back. See you after the New Year." Pushing people aside, she walked to the table and reached out to take two oil-paper bags.

How could Zhou Ting let her go so easily? He followed her closely, and when he saw her trying to take something from the table, he reached out and helped her take it.

"I'll give it to you."

Mingyi raised her head and smiled, then nodded happily, "Okay."

An San stepped forward and took the oil-paper bag from Zhou Ting's hand, called the guards to move the large and small bags bought by Cheng Mingyi, followed their footsteps out of the door and downstairs.

Watching Ming Yi enter the carriage, Zhou Ting took the oil-paper bag handed to him by An San and stuffed it into the carriage; then he slowly stuffed the large and small bags he bought today into the carriage one by one, staring at Ming Yi who was waving at him with a smile, and spoke comforting words.

"Aunt Chen, Uncle Cheng, have a safe journey."

"Young Master, please go back earlier. It's getting late." Cheng Yuanxi tried hard to suppress the resentment in his heart, and his face became more and more expressionless.

Chen Daya smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for taking care of my Mingyi today, my Lord."

"Aunt Chen's words are sincere, and Chao Sheng is happy to accept them."

"Wish the young master a happy new year in advance." After saying this, Chen Daya winked at her husband.

Cheng Yuanxi stepped forward to close the carriage door, then turned to Zhou Ting, who looked reluctant to leave, and said, "Happy New Year, my Lord. I and the others have to go home. Thank you for taking care of Mingyi. Goodbye."

"Uncle Cheng, take care. Aunt Chen, take care. Yiyi came to the palace to play with me!"

Cheng Yuanxi climbed onto the shaft of the carriage and drove away; when the carriage passed by Zhou Ting, Zhou Ting gave him some reluctant instructions.

Hearing his silent grievance, she opened the curtain and passed by the people outside the carriage; she stuck her head out and smiled brightly, "Chao Sheng, Happy New Year, may the new year be smooth and healthy, and may the country be peaceful and the people be safe."

"Happy New Year!"

Zhou Ting raised his voice towards the receding carriage road.

An San followed him, "Master, Miss Cheng and the others have gone far away."

His grandfather is going to become a wife-waiting stone.

He stared at Miss Cheng's carriage without blinking.

Zhou Ting retracted his gaze and glanced at him calmly, which made An San feel uneasy before he said, "Go back. You've been out for a day."

"Yes."

The group left in a mighty manner.

The carriage drove out of the city gate and onto the bumpy road.

inside the carriage.

Chen Daya was looking at her daughter, who was so excited and happy that she couldn't stop smiling, in the dim carriage, and suddenly she felt a headache.

"Yiyi!"

"Ah, mother, you called me?" Mingyi came to his senses, and walked up to his old mother with a playful smile, getting close to her.

As soon as her daughter started to act coquettishly, Chen Daya couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. Her original intention to interrogate her suddenly disappeared. "Yiyi, what did you do with the prince of Zhou?"

"Eat, drink, and go shopping." Pointing to the piles of things at his feet, the carriage was so piled up that there was no place to step, "Chao Sheng ordered a lot of barbecue. We ate some and left some for you to eat at home. Then we bought some snacks. You can't celebrate the New Year without snacks. If you don't have food in your mouth, you will lose the soul of the New Year."

In her memory, the Chinese New Year is all about eating and drinking, and it’s not the Chinese New Year if the eating and drinking are not good.

Chen Daya nodded, "I bought it, did you pay for it yourself or did the prince of Zhou pay for it?"

"We are shopping, so it must be the prince who gives us the money! Mother, when have you ever seen me giving money when we are shopping?" As a boy, and her boyfriend, it is justified for her to use her boyfriend's money.

"Look at what you're saying, little girl. You're just engaged, not married. How can you let others buy all these things for you? At least pay a little money yourself!" He poked his daughter's forehead helplessly and sighed softly, "You haven't learned the modesty of a girl."

Mingyi smiled without any pain at all, "Mom, don't worry about us, we have been like this since we were young; the prince is willing to give me money to spend, and Princess Zhou also knows it."

"Princess Zhou also knows?"

"Of course, Princess Zhou doesn't mind at all." Mingyi said, and was hit on the forehead. It hurt a lot. Mother must have used a lot of strength. "Ouch, it hurts! Mother, please be gentle."

"Be gentle? You are such a heartless girl. If the Queen Princess Zhou doesn't say anything, you really don't care? How can you, an unengaged girl, use a man's money everywhere? In the eyes of those who have ulterior motives, you will be seen as having no dignity."

Headache!

Her daughter really gave her a headache.

Chen Daya patted the little girl on the head again, this time with less force, "Forget it, kid, don't do this again in the future."

I was secretly worried about my silly girl, hoping she wouldn't bring up the past later.

"Mom, I've been away for five years. If the prince hadn't been willing to spend money on me, where would I have gotten so much money to spend?" Her family had never given her any money before, so they gave her some when she left so that she could spend it outside.

To be honest, can the little money my grandfather gave me before I left last for five years?

What a joke.

After she mentioned this, Chen Daya suddenly realized a problem. She had never sent any money to Mingyi before; and none of the elderly people in the family, or even all of Mingyi's elders and brothers, had ever mentioned it.

After thinking about it, they all fell into a vicious circle.

They believed that the Crown Prince of Zhou would never treat Mingyi badly, so, during the years that Mingyi had been away, none of them even mentioned bringing some banknotes for Mingyi to spend.

Chen Daya hugged her delicate and soft daughter with a guilty conscience and said distressedly, "Dad and Mom neglected it. We should have sent you more money. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let you spend the prince's money so much."

Mingyi didn't care, but she couldn't say that. "Mom, it's okay. I helped the prince a lot in Fucheng. My teacher and I are helping the prince. What's wrong with using his money?"

In fact, she had tens of thousands of taels of silver in her small treasury, but the monthly burden was heavy and she could not save much; but she did not regret it, and all she did were meaningful good deeds.

It doesn’t matter if the deposit is less.

The industry under his name is like an old hen that lays eggs, generating a steady stream of income. The expenses are high, but the income is not small either.

"I understand." Chen Daya's worries did not diminish, but she felt helpless.

After returning home, the things were unloaded. The things that Prince Zhou bought for Mingyi were sent to Mingyi's yard; the prepared New Year's goods were sent to the kitchen, and the things that were needed were put in the warehouse.

After packing everything up and reporting the money spent to the two heads of the Cheng family, it was already midnight.

Chen Daya and Cheng Yuanxi returned to the yard to wash up and lie on the bed. Chen Daya felt uneasy and pushed her husband beside her, "Husband, don't go to sleep yet."

"My wife, you are tired today. Go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow." Cheng Yuanxi turned sideways and took his wife into his arms, pressing down her mischievous hands.
