Chapter 550: Chapter 341 Please Ask Uncle for Help_2
Tang Weixing picked up the packed box and took his leave, saying, “It was sudden that I didn’t go home. After dinner, I didn’t get to inform my family, so I won’t keep you company this late. I’m waiting for your good news, and to attend your wedding feast!”
Zhong Xingwang nodded his head, not asking Tang Weixing to stay. He was also eager to take the things back to the other courtyard so he could leave early the next morning. He still had to discuss some details with his elder sister that evening.
He had never felt that his own life events were so significant and important before. Not having had such experience before meant that fate had not yet matured, but now that fate had arrived, he certainly had to grasp it firmly.
Tang Weixing returned home with the late-night snack. It wasn’t very late yet, and his family had already eaten dinner, so he didn’t disturb his mother and other relatives, but went straight back to his yard.
His family’s house was also quite large, with workers living in one part, his parents in one courtyard, the relatives in another courtyard, and he and his wife and children in yet another courtyard.
As for when the children grew up, naturally there would be courtyards available, and if not enough, they could add more rooms. After all, they had built it a bit in the suburbs with a big garden in mind, having considered this issue when they bought the land and built the house.
Tang Weixing, holding the food container, returned to the courtyard. On this summer night, his wife had not yet gone to sleep while waiting for him. The children were taken care of by the wet nurse, who did not let them sleep with them at this time.
Now that it was night, the children and the wet nurse went to their room. Ye Shuzhen saw her husband carrying the box and a smile appeared on her face, for she had gained a little weight after getting married.
Since having children and eating well, sleeping well, and nourishing her body, how could she not gain weight?
With a good husband who always brought back delicious food from feasts, and being someone who couldn’t resist indulging, her body weight inevitably increased. In fact, she was a little worried that her husband might dislike her for being overweight.
“Husband, what dish is this?”
Tang Weixing smiled at her, “Happy dish.”
“Husband, is there really such a name for a dish?”
Ye Shuzhen racked her brains, as a food lover she hadn’t heard of such a name before, which meant she hadn’t tasted this dish, and she happily opened the food container.
Inside, she saw her favorite dishes: salt-baked chicken, duck wings, and pastries like water chestnut cake, sugar cake, and chilled green bean sweet soup.
Ye Shuzhen looked up at Tang Weixing with a “you tricked me” expression in her eyes.
“Wife, why would I trick you? Do you know who invited me out tonight?”
Tang Weixing ordered the workers to take the food to the children’s rooms, for those awake to have a late-night snack and for those asleep to eat when they woke.
Ye Shuzhen thought hard but couldn’t come up with an answer. After mentioning several names and her husband denying them all, she could only shake her head, admitting she couldn’t guess, and asked her husband to reveal the answer.
“Zhong Xingwang, Madam, you should know him, Mrs. Mo’s younger brother,” Tang Weixing said, again smiling and tantalizingly holding back part of the story to whet his wife’s appetite.
“Oh, that man over twenty years old, he hasn’t started a family yet, has he? There’s no problem, right?”
When Ye Shuzhen said this, she actually compared him to sons of rich families who, if not married in their twenties, would certainly have someone warming their bed.
A man over twenty, still studying at the academy and from a wealthy family, would be someone the family expects to achieve success, and could possibly be a non-heir second son.
The eldest son, expected to marry early and inherit the family business, would be helping his father with the family’s commercial ventures.
Ye Shuzhen, since getting married, had learned quite a lot, especially from her Mother-in-law while learning to be a housekeeper. Now with a shop and an estate, the family was relatively prosperous.
As for the husband still working for others, their family had not bonded themselves with a servant’s indenture, but merely worked for their former boss, which had no drawbacks for them.
“Wife, you’re wrong, this man had not yet met the woman of his fate, but now he feels it’s time, and he wants to marry, just like you and me!”
Tang Weixing’s words made Ye Shuzhen begin to understand a little: Zhong Xingwang was going to get married, but who was the woman of his fate?
“Husband, which family’s daughter is it? It’s not from our family, is it? Your sister is also married. Is it someone from the Tang Family?”
Tang Weixing once again revealed a mysterious smile, “It’s a girl from our family, but not from the Tang Family.”
Ye Shuzhen was taken aback, not quite understanding, until her husband tapped her forehead lightly.
“You, haven’t you thought about your elder brother’s daughters?”
Ye Shuzhen suddenly understood, her eyes lighting up, “Is it the daughter of my elder brother? Which one of the girls has he taken a fancy to?”
