The Discovery of the Little Tree

Yan Shiba appeared at the entrance of Yuanming Pavilion. It was sunset. The sunset reflected a faint smile on her lips. She had a round face with soft features, which made her look particularly gentle.

Ji Xiaoshu immediately put down the building blocks in his hand and ran over, "Aunt Yan! How is Mo Yan? Is he dead?"

Yan Shiba rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head and said with a smile, "Of course he is still alive. I was very measured in my actions. I just let him experience what it means to be worse than death. Oh, no, not once, but several times. I also found another place to rinse him before bringing him back, so as not to make the house too dirty."

Zheng'er nodded, "In this way, there is no need to worry that his wound will be infected and he will die soon. Xiaoshu and I will go to see how his injuries are tomorrow."

"Where are your master and his wife? Upstairs?" Yan Shiba asked.

Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, "No, Master and his wife are in my sister's space, saying that they want to measure the land and then design and build a house."

Gu Xiaonuan smiled and waved to Yan Shiba, "Aunt Yan, my parents are here!"

"Okay. They are really free now." Yan Shiba said, "I'll go wash up."

When Yan Shiba went to the kitchen to get water, he saw Wen Ran feeding Chengyun with chopsticks.

"Hey!" Yan Shiba's expression was exaggerated, "Brother Xiaoyun, tell me the truth, did you take over the body of the original little monk? How can you do such a thing in broad daylight?"

Chengyun's face flushed. He has changed, but being seen by others in his intimate behavior with Wen Ran is another matter.

Wen Ran was very calm, and even glared at Yan Shiba, "Don't tease Chengyun, he's shy. We're together because you, Sister Yan, have done a lot to bring us together, shouldn't you be happy about it?"

Yan Shiba laughed, "It's okay for you to kiss in front of me! Don't be shy, I love to watch!"

Chengyun stood up and walked out with his head down, "You guys chat."

Wen Ran couldn't help laughing, "Sister Yan, don't tease him! Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Yan Shiba fetched water and washed up in the kitchen, while washing, she told Wen Ran how she had revenged Mo Yan today.

"Very good." Wen Ran nodded, "That's it, tit for tat, it's fair."

"Have you set the date for your wedding?" Yan Shiba walked behind Wen Ran, stretched out his hand to hug her waist, and stuck to her. Wen Ran had long been accustomed to Yan Shiba's "clinginess". Previously, Yan Shiba often ran to sleep with Wen Ran with a pillow. As for teasing Chengyun just now, it was just Yan Shiba's nature - playing pranks.

"It's settled." Wen Ran said, "Grandpa asked someone to match our horoscopes and said that the best auspicious day this year is at the end of the year, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"That's too late." Yan Shiba leaned on Wen Ran's shoulder and took a deep breath, "What kind of meat? It smells so good, let me have one too."

Wen Ran changed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat for Yan Shiba and fed her.

"It's so hot... delicious!" Yan Shiba praised, "It's almost as good as Gu Ling's! Chengyun will have a good meal in the future. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone I like. If we split up, Su Xiaoliang and the others will abandon me sooner or later, so I'll live with you!"

"That's great." Wen Ran chuckled, "I like a lively family." Talking about the wedding date again, "Grandpa also thinks it's a bit late, but he wants us to get married on the best day, so he finally decided on the twelfth lunar month. I think it's good, and there are only a few months left."

When Yan Shiba brought the dishes made by Wen Ran to Yuanming Pavilion and asked the children to wash their hands and eat, Gu Ling and Su Liang had already come out of Gu Xiaonuan's space.

Now that there are many people in the family, Nangong Qian, Wen Ran and Qiuyue cook more. Occasionally, Gu Ling and Su Liang will cook, but they don't cook all the meals. Most of the meals are prepared and sent by Wanjia Restaurant, and the cooks only cook a small part.

During dinner, Yan Shiba shared with everyone how she abused Mo Yan today. Because her description was too vivid and not very appetizing, she was stopped by Lao Mu at the beginning, saying that she would talk about it later.

Yan Shiba smiled, "Anyway, you just need to know that I abused him badly. By the way, Su Xiaoliang, is there any new news from Jiaye City today?"

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. As usual. There shouldn't be any more live people sent later."

"Then when do you expect Sheng Yue to arrive in the capital?" Yan Shiba asked.

Su Liang thought for a moment, "According to the number of remnants we know we need to eliminate, there should be only two left. The other two may run a little further away, so it's hard to say when. If everything goes well, he will come in ten days or eight days."

"I'll have to talk to him when the time comes." Yan Shiba had nothing else to do. Today, she told Mo Yan a riddle and said she would ask Sheng Yue again. There was no way. Without the enemy, life was less exciting. She could only try to have fun.

...

That day, Feng Ming was weeding in the garden of the mansion and heard Ji Xiaoshu calling him.

"Uncle Feng!" Ji Xiaoshu ran over with a piece of dried meat in his hand. This was also Gu Ling's unique secret recipe, and it was not taught by Su Liang. He figured it out by himself, and it tasted great.

Feng Ming smiled and threw the weeds down, "Xiao Shu, do you want to ask me something?"

Ji Xiaoshu held up the dried meat, "For Uncle Feng."

Feng Ming lowered his head and bit the dried meat and ate it, "Not bad, very delicious."

"Before Uncle Feng came back, the dried meat made by Master was finished, and this is the new one that was just made!" Ji Xiaoshu smiled, "Has Uncle Feng thought about the matter I asked him last time?"

Feng Ming was stunned. Ji Xiaoshu changed the topic so quickly that he didn't react, "What is it?"

"What kind of girl does Uncle Feng like?" Ji Xiaoshu said and found a small yellow flower in the weeds. He leaned over to pick it and put it in his ear, "Does it look good?"

Feng Ming couldn't help but smile, "It looks good!"

Ji Xiaoshu's face was serious, "If Uncle Feng has a daughter-in-law, you can give her beautiful flowers when you see them!"

Feng Ming laughed, "Xiao Shu is right. But I haven't thought about that yet."

"Does it take so long?" Ji Xiaoshu said he didn't understand, "Even Uncle Chengyun has found a good home, isn't Uncle Feng envious?"

Feng Ming nodded, "Envy. But this kind of thing, everyone's situation is different."

Ji Xiaoshu nodded, "That's true. Uncle Feng, you are very handsome. If you like someone, just say it boldly and pursue him actively, and good results will come!"

Hearing this, Feng Ming looked slightly startled, which was noticed by the sensitive Ji Xiaoshu. He was about to leave, but turned back and asked, "Does Uncle Feng already have a sweetheart?"

Feng Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaoshu, go play. If I need your help, I will definitely tell you."

When Ji Xiaoshu saw that Feng Ming didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any questions, waved his hands and ran away.

Feng Ming shook his head, laughed, and continued to weed.

…

Ji Xiaoshu ran into Yuanming Pavilion as fast as he could, and went upstairs with a bang, "Master's wife! Master's wife!"

Su Liang was looking at the design drawings drawn by Gu Ling. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Ji Xiaoshu rushing in, "Master's wife, I have made a big discovery!"

Su Liang chuckled, "What?"

"Uncle Feng has something on his mind!" Ji Xiaoshu told Su Liang about his conversation with Feng Ming, "Does Master know if Uncle Feng has someone he likes?"

Gu Ling knocked on Ji Xiaoshu's forehead and said, "At such a young age, she looks like a matchmaker."

Ji Xiaoshu pushed Gu Ling's hand away, "Master, please don't interrupt! I'm caring about Uncle Feng! Others are in pairs, but he and Uncle Zhu are alone. How bad! Uncle Zhu has already said what he likes Yes, it’s just that I haven’t met him yet, but it seems that Uncle Feng already has a sweetheart!”

Su Liang smiled and said, "If it is true and he doesn't want to say it, there is a reason why he doesn't want to say it."

"I know. I'm just a little worried..." Ji Xiaoshu said and paused.

"What are you worried about?" Gu Ling began to pinch Ji Xiaoshu's ears.

Ji Xiaoshu was a little speechless, "Master, if you are too bored, you can make more dried meat. Each time you make it, you won't be able to eat it for a few days!"

Gu Ling didn't answer.

Ji Xiaoshu pushed Gu Ling's hand away and said to Su Liang, "Could it be that Uncle Feng likes Master Niang?"

Gu Ling pinched Ji Xiaoshu's ears and said, "You will be punished to write two more words today."

Ji Xiaoshu refused, "Why?"

Gu Ling was very calm, "Because you just stepped in with your left foot first."

Ji Xiaoshu looked at the sky speechlessly, "Master's wife, can you take care of Master?"

Su Liang was very calm, "What does it matter? It's so interesting that you two, master and disciple, are willing to fight and suffer. But even if Feng Ming has a sweetheart, it's definitely not me. I'm sure of this."

"Who could that be?" Ji Xiaoshu climbed onto Gu Ling's lap and sat down. He put his arms on the table and held his little face in his hands as he thought, "Uncle Feng doesn't come into contact with many people. I don't know which aunt he has in particular." ”

Su Liang felt a little strange, "Xiaoshu, why are you so concerned about this matter?" It was definitely not as simple as what he just said.

Ji Xiaoshu said seriously, "Because Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhu have no parents, and everyone else in the family is married, there must be someone to help them take care of their marriage! Especially Uncle Feng, he doesn't like to give anything to them at first glance. The kind of person who causes trouble to others and doesn’t say anything about what’s on his mind is really annoying!”

Su Liang raised his eyebrows. It sounded like Ji Xiaoshu was a brat, but Su Liang knew that he was serious. He lost his mother when he was a child, and Ji Yuebai didn't have much time to spend with him, so he has a very sensitive personality, but from another perspective, he is very careful and can't help but pay attention to and take care of the emotions of everyone around him. He may seem naughty and naughty, but he is very careful. In fact, he has the warmest heart.

"Then, I'll give you and Zheng'er a mission to find out what Feng Ming is thinking about, but don't let him find out." Su Liang said. She didn't like to interfere in her friends' emotional affairs. She felt that everyone was an adult and just let nature take its course. Except for Yan Shiba who had been entangled with Cheng Yun, there were no other thorny emotional problems that needed to be solved before. But since Ji Xiaoshu paid attention to it, he couldn't ignore it.

"I have the order! I promise to complete the mission!" After saying this, Ji Xiaoshu slipped off Gu Ling's legs and rushed out the door, "Senior Brother!"

Zheng'er was writing next door when he heard the sound and raised his head, "Xiao Shu, what's wrong?"

"Master's wife gave us a mission." Ji Xiaoshu leaned into Zheng'er's ear and said.

After listening to it, Zheng'er thought thoughtfully and said, "This matter..."

"Do you know, Senior Brother, what Uncle Feng is thinking?" Ji Xiaoshu looked surprised.

Zheng'er shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that when you said that, I remembered something, but maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Ji Xiaoshu urged Zheng'er, "Elder brother, tell me what's going on! Stop showing off!"

"It was Aunt Peng who brought Ashin and Ale to our house the day before yesterday. We were visiting the lake, and Aunt Peng was sitting on the grass by the lake. I accidentally saw Uncle Feng looking at Aunt Peng! Maybe he was passing by nearby and stopped to look. He left after a while! He didn't even notice that I was looking at him!" Zheng'er said.

Ji Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, "That's it!"

Zheng'er shook his head, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. Uncle Feng just remembered something and was daydreaming. You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"Uncle Feng is always calm, he's not the kind of person who would suddenly stop and daydream while walking." Ji Xiaoshu disagreed, "It's definitely not a coincidence. If Uncle Feng likes Aunt Peng, then it's right!"

"Right about what?" Zheng'er asked.

"Big Brother, think about it, when we asked Aunt Peng what kind of man she likes that day, what did she say? She said she wouldn't get married in the future! Uncle Feng was right next to her at the time! If he happened to like Aunt Peng, and heard Aunt Peng say that, with his personality, he would definitely not dare to express any feelings, for fear of causing trouble to Aunt Peng! That's why Uncle Feng was stunned in front of me and refused to say why." Ji Xiaoshu said.

Zheng'er listened to Ji Xiaoshu's analysis and remembered the previous things. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Xiaoshu's words made sense.

"What should we do?" Zheng'er scratched his head. "It's not good for us to interfere in this kind of thing, right?"

Ji Xiaoshu sat beside Zheng'er with his face in his hands. "It's really hard to deal with. What if Aunt Peng really decides not to get married, or doesn't like Uncle Feng? It's not appropriate to hastily match them up. And we are children. If we talk about this kind of thing, adults will think we are joking."

Zheng'er nodded, "That's right."

"But I really think Aunt Peng can find someone who loves her. She has suffered so much and needs care. Look at my father. After my mother passed away, he found someone to accompany him. I was unhappy about this before, but now I think it's pretty good. As long as my father is happy, it's fine!" Ji Xiaoshu said.

When Zheng'er heard this, his heart moved, "Then, the key to this matter may be Axin and Ale. Aunt Peng may not want to get married because she is afraid that Axin and Ale will not like her, but if Axin and Ale support her, Aunt Peng may not have so many concerns."

"Big Brother, you are right!" Ji Xiaoshu nodded repeatedly, "Even if Aunt Peng and Uncle Feng can't be a couple, we have to persuade Aunt Peng to open her heart and bravely pursue happiness! Let's go to Axin and Ale to have a good talk and teach them how to tell Aunt Peng. Don't mention Uncle Feng, just say that other aunts have someone to accompany them. If Aunt Peng can meet someone she likes and get together, they will be very happy! As long as Aunt Peng lets go, Uncle Feng can take the initiative!"

Su Liang walked to the door and went back with a smile. She heard what the children said and thought it was good. Feng Ming and Peng Wu knew each other on Xingluo Island a long time ago. If they can really become a couple, it is also a good fate.

"Master, you can't punish Xiaoshu by making him write." Su Liang said, "He behaved very well today and was very sensible."

Gu Ling nodded, "Then reward him by making him write two more words!"
