The two put on their shoes and socks, lay on the smooth stones, and waited for the water stains on their clothes to dry up.
As the sun set, they walked toward the house, arm in arm.
Along the way, Yu Ziye was humming the ditty Su Zhen taught him, obviously in a very good mood.
"Don't call me Young Prince anymore. It's too unfamiliar. How about you call me Ziye and I call you Youning?"
"No, it's not bad to change to Xiao Yanzi."
"Oh! No! Why does it sound like a father-in-law in the palace?"
"Don't like it? Then Xiao Yezi is ready."
"no!"
“It’s such a happy decision!”
"Can't!"
"My mouth is on me, how about you help me sew it up?"
"You are provoking me!"
The way Yu Ziye pretended to be angry was really funny and not lethal at all.
"Otherwise? So what? If you catch up with me, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Su Zhen made a face at him, laughed twice and ran forward.
The cheerful laughter of the two people could be heard from time to time in the mountains, and it didn't stop until Yu Ziye ran out of breath and gave up.
"Hey, I'm a few months older than you, so I'll call you Aning."
"as long as you are happy."
...
Everyone in the Taifu Mansion searched for the prince for a long time, but could not find the whereabouts of the prince. Just when they were anxious, the two men slowly appeared holding a few bottles and jars.
"It's the young prince! The young prince and the young master are back!"
Shang Jinyan immediately stepped forward, pulled at his clothes, and inspected them carefully, "Where have you been? Are there any injuries on your body?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Yu Ziye replied softly.
"Why are you so ignorant, kid? Didn't I tell you not to run around when you came out?"
Yu Ziye lowered his eyes aggrievedly, "Mom, they don't like to play with me. Yan'er will often come to see An Ning in the future."
"You have grown up, you can't think about these things all the time. As the heir, how can you have fun all day long?"
As he spoke, Shang Jinyan looked at Su Zhen with evil eyes, but the latter pretended to be cowardly, hiding behind his mother like an ordinary child.
She tried her best to be as pleasant as possible and said, "Hui Ran, let's take our leave now and come back as a guest another day."
"Okay, I'll send you away."
"No need."
Yan Huiran pushed Su Zhen to Aunt Wen and quickly caught up with Shang Jinyan. The two were close friends and had known each other for many years. How could they be really angry? After a moment, another pleasant laughter came from the distance.
At this time, Yu Ziye ran back again, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only his voice echoing in front of him.
"A Ning! Remember! My name is Yu Yan! Yu Ziye! Don't forget, I will come back to you tomorrow... Ouch... Mom, don't pull my ears! It hurts!"
Su Zhen stroked her chin, her eyes twinkling. This little guy is quite interesting. It seems that he will have fun in the future.
...
After Shang Jinyan took Yu Ziye back to his home, he gave him a good lesson.
However, after his mother left, Yu Ziye wanted to put the Ke Dou he brought back into the pond, but found that his courtyard was surrounded by guards and there was no leakage.
He thought about climbing over the wall, but not only his body shape did not allow him to do so, he was more worried about the jar breaking.
Suddenly I remembered that there was an abandoned water tank in the backyard. After cleaning it a little, I quietly poured a full can into it.
In the dead of night, when everyone was quiet, I carried the small bucket back and forth with my personal servant and poured a lot of water into it.
Yu Ziye put his hands on his knees and gasped for air. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at a group of black dots swimming around in the water tank, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
But not long after he was raised, Su Zhen led him to discover more interesting things, and gradually he forgot about this tank of cockroaches.
Until one night, it rained heavily. Although the water had not been changed for a long time, because it was the rainy season, rain water came from time to time, so many of them still survived.
Rainwater flowed into the tank through the cracks in the lid, and green frogs jumped out and ran around.
That night, the sound of frogs croaking in the courtyard continued, causing trouble in the entire Hou Mansion. The maids hid in their rooms and did not dare to come out, while the servants held umbrellas to search despite the heavy rain. Suddenly, the Hou Mansion was in a state of chaos.
Jump, very confusing.
However, Yu Ziye was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he fled to the Taifu's house overnight and hid in Su Zhen's room, refusing to come out.
Unfortunately, the Marquis of Lin'an later captured him and imprisoned him for two months. He was directly ordered to guard him and he was not allowed to walk even half a step outside the house.
Yu Ziye copied the Four Books and Five Classics so many times that he had a splitting headache when he saw those books.
But just because he couldn't come out, it didn't mean that Su Zhen couldn't go in. The two of them often took advantage of the fact that Lin'an Hou and his wife were not at home to study various mechanical techniques, or to fight with crickets together. This chapter has been completed!
