The main door just opened.

Chu Tianshu was a little confused.

He glanced at the doorman standing in front of him.

The doorman didn't smile or show any unnecessary expressions, he just made a "come in" gesture.

Xie Ningzi didn't think there was anything wrong, she just happily pulled Chu Tianshu's hand: "Let's go in."

When they held hands just now, they were a little shy, but now, either because their attention was not focused on this or because they had other thoughts, they actually pulled Chu Tianshu's hand directly.

Chu Tianshu had no choice but to follow Xie Ningzi and walk inside.

Zhou Lie's mansion is not as luxurious as Prince Chen's mansion to the naked eye, but it still has layers of corridors, showing off its wealth.

"How big of an official position is a minister...?"

"Not too big." Xie Ningzi was in a good mood and stopped talking about being unable to walk. She pulled Chu Tianshu and walked quickly and answered casually.

Chu Tianshu doesn't know how big it is.

He himself is a civilian anyway.

For someone of his status, even a relatively small minister could probably kill his own high-ranking official as easily as crushing an ant.

"Not too big...how big is it?"

"I don't know." Xie Ningzi said matter-of-factly: "Anyway, he should be older than the two of us."

Chu Tianshu was speechless.

As the two of them were walking, the servants of the Zhou Mansion who went in first to report the news seemed to have already reported the news, and someone from the mansion had already come out to welcome them.

After turning around a corridor, Chu Tianshu saw two women in their thirties walking towards them with their servants.

While he was hesitating, the woman looked surprised and rushed over: "Xiao Zi'er, it's really you!"

"Auntie." Xie Ningzi hesitated, waiting for the woman to rush over and hug her.

"Aunt, I haven't seen you for years." Xie Ningzi smiled.

The woman hugged Xie Ningzi and smiled at first, but when she let go and looked at Xie Ningzi, her face was already full of tears.

Chu Tianshu was a little surprised.

Isn't this too fast?

"Xiao Zi'er, I'm so sorry for you. Look at you, you've lost weight." The woman let tears roll down her face.

Xie Ningzi then reached out to wipe the tears on her face, then took out a handkerchief from her body and wiped it slowly.

"Auntie, don't be sad anymore." Xie Ningzi smiled: "I have not suffered any grievances."

At this time, the woman pressed Xie Ningzi's hand that was still wiping her tears, and said with a smile: "Yes, little Zi'er grew up in the palace and was raised as a daughter by the Queen Mother. It is extremely wronged."

While talking, tears were still flowing.

"Auntie." Xie Ningzi only smiled: "Look at you."

"Yes, yes." The woman wiped her face, her eyes quickly swept over Chu Tianshu, and there was already a forced, slightly sad smile on her face that could be seen at a glance.

"When Xiao Zi'er comes home, she always wants to eat something good."

"Come." The woman pulled Xie Ningzi: "Let's go, look at Auntie. At this moment, Shen Ai asked my little Zi'erping to stand here for so long. She really deserves a beating."

"Auntie." Xie Ningzi was pulled in with one hand by the woman, and with the other hand she pulled Chu Tianshu's sleeve behind her, dragging him in to join her.

"Auntie, what delicious food was cooked in the house today?" Xie Ningzi asked as she walked.

"I originally wanted to eat something casually." The woman smiled kindly: "But since Xiao Zi'er is here, I have to make something delicious."

"Xuan'er, you are so expressionless. When you saw your sister Zi'er coming, you didn't know how to call someone. She was just like a piece of wood. Go and tell the kitchen to cook something good. Don't worry about the money for this lunch today.

Yes, it’s a month’s meal allowance in the house, so hurry up.”

"Auntie." Xie Ningzi said quickly: "We have already told the eldest princess that we will go back and have lunch with her."

The woman was surprised: "Don't you eat at home?"

"Yes." Xie Ningzi smiled gently: "Because there is something to celebrate."

"Celebrate?" the woman asked curiously: "What kind of happy event is this? You are so happy and you still need to celebrate? Can you tell my aunt about it?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Xie Ningzi asked Chu Tianshu: "He got a new technology and wants to sell it to the eldest princess."

"The eldest princess feels happy, so she should celebrate."

"Auntie also knows that she is a fiery person. When she encounters something like this that deserves a little happiness, she always has to celebrate."

New technology?

The woman finally looked at Chu Tianshu.

He looks like an ordinary person.

"This is a great joy." The woman snickered and asked Xie Ningzi: "Where did you get this new technology? It can actually catch the eyes of the eldest princess. I'll call you in two days.

Brother Xuan will also go and get one without asking for any celebration, so that he can get an official position for him."

Xie Ningzi didn't even look at Chu Tianshu, but just said: "I was about to talk about this."

"He figured out the new technology together with a few old workers in the steel factory. In three to five days, he was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance to get another one, so Auntie was worried about it in vain."

"Is that so?" The woman smiled, not angry: "What kind of steel factory is it? Tell me about it?"

"Chiyang Iron and Steel Plant." Chu Tianshu replied.

"Chiyang Factory?" The woman thought for a moment and then said: "Is it the factory of the girl in Prince Chen's palace? Xiao Zi'er has a relationship with that girl?"

"Which girl?" Xie Ningzi asked, "I just met him." The woman looked at Chu Tianshu again.

Still very ordinary.

Maybe the appearance is really good.

But in the face of power, in the face of huge material resources, in the face of insurmountable classes, this small advantage in appearance is not considered capital at all.

That is to say, some little girls who were deceived by the deeds of Princess Heyang think that they can also dig for gold in the sand and find their own second Qin Fuzheng.

childish.

"She is the sixth daughter of Prince Chen's family. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. I don't know whether it is true or not, but she has indeed fascinated the only son of Qin Fuzheng's family. I think she is not bad in appearance."

"I just don't know how she is compared to Xiao Zi'er." The woman smiled and pinched Xie Ningzi's face again: "It's really hard to imagine that there is a girl in this world who is as beautiful as my Xiao Zi'er."

"Auntie is too exaggerated." Xie Ningzi broke away from the woman's hand and said a little shyly, "Actually, my appearance is just average."

"That's not true." The woman smiled: "Xiao Zi'er is the spirit of heaven and earth, loved by mountains and rivers."

"If you hadn't chosen the person yourself..." The woman glanced at Chu Tianshu: "Auntie even wants to talk you into being a daughter-in-law with your brother Xuan!"

"It's a pity that this piece of wood doesn't have that blessing."

"Hehe." Xie Ningzi smiled playfully.

"Okay." The woman patted Xie Ningzi's shoulder: "Xiao Zi'er came to my house, what do you want to eat?"

"No, I just thought I haven't seen my aunt and uncle Zhou for a long time, so I came to take a look."

"That's it." The woman sighed: "Xiao Zi'er is a person who thinks in her heart, and is much better than this piece of wood."

"I just regret that you are not my daughter and can't be my daughter-in-law." The woman sighed.

"Hehe." Xie Ningzi still just smiled: "I feel relieved to see that my aunt is well."

"Let's go!" Xie Ningzi smiled, took Chu Tianshu's hand, and pinched the woman's face hard when she turned around: "A little bit, aunt pinched my face, and I pinched it back."

"You little girl!" The woman was startled, then made an angry expression.

But Xie Ningzi had already pulled Chu Tianshu away: "If you can't catch up, you can't catch up."

"Little girl." The woman smiled.

She didn't chase.

Xie Ningzi pulled Chu Tianshu and ran for a while but also slowed down.

The smile on his face that he didn't know was true or false slowly faded away, and he just gasped.
