CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 780: INNER CITY, OUTER CITY (4 MORE)

Yun Jinnian said as he sat down, "This matter seems easy to talk about, but it’s actually quite troublesome to act upon. Uncle Cheng, it’s going to be hard on you next!"

"Where is it hard? Miss, rest assured, I will take care of it!"

"Good!"

Yun Jinnian guessed that the Elder Residence would break off the engagement, but she didn’t expect it to happen today.

"You’re saying that Sister Chen’s brother personally returned the betrothal gifts?" Yun Jinnian asked Han Tianci.

"Yes, I glanced at the doorstep, that Sister Chen is truly admirable. She just stood there straight, watching as they carried out the betrothal gifts one by one, Sister, if I ever get married in the future, I’m going to marry a woman with such a strong and steely character, someone with personality!"

Yun Jinnian burst into laughter, "You’re still a child now, it’s too early to talk about marriage. Besides, if you want to marry a woman with a strong and steely character, she can’t be a simpleton!"

"Look at what Sister is saying, of course I won’t be a simpleton!" Han Tianci said, puffing out his chest.

This trip to the Elder Residence left a deep impression on what a true scholar-official family was like.

It also gave him the urge to study seriously.

"I naturally trust you!"

As the siblings talked, they first went to greet Mrs. Han and chatted with her for a while.

Then they each returned to their own courtyards.

Yun Jinnian went back to Chaoyang Academy, and Leng Nuan was awake.

After cleaning herself up, Yun Jinnian held him in her arms.

"Did Nuannuan cry today?"

Mrs. Yuan hurriedly said, "He didn’t cry at all, very well-behaved. Ate and slept, woke up and went to the bathroom, then slept again. Maybe he knew Miss was coming back, so he stayed awake!"

"What a good child!"

Yun Jinnian said, asking Mrs. Yuan to fetch the swaddling clothes and wrapped Leng Nuan up snugly.

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Yuan asked curiously.

"I’m taking him out for a walk. It’s not good to always stay inside!"

Boys and girls are different; it’s always beneficial to see more of the outside world.

"What if he gets cold?"

"I won’t go far, just around the courtyard a couple of times. It’s spring now, and Nuannuan should also see what spring is like!"

A child of several months actually knows some things.

And has feelings too.

As she carried Leng Nuan out of the room, his eyes began to roll around, mostly gazing at Yun Jinnian.

Yun Jinnian also tenderly looked at him, kissing his forehead, "Nuannuan is so good!"

The lips were cool and warm, a familiar yet strange taste, but the pure love and affection remained unchanged.

He intended to smile, but his eyes moistened and tears fell, yet he made no sound of crying.

Seeing this, Yun Jinnian’s heart ached even more, "It’s okay, it’s okay, Nuannuan, don’t cry, it must be Auntie’s kiss that was too strong, next time Auntie will kiss you gently, Nuannuan, don’t cry!"

While comforting him, she wiped away his tears.

Her voice was soft and gentle.

Leng Nuan gradually stopped crying.

Yun Jinnian sighed, "Auntie kisses Nuannuan because Auntie likes Nuannuan very much!"

"He’s just a baby, he doesn’t understand!" Han Tianci came over.

He didn’t like Yun Jinnian holding Leng Nuan.

"He must understand some things, sit down!" Yun Jinnian told Han Tianci to sit.

After Han Tianci sat down, Yun Jinnian continued, "I plan to open a pharmacy in the Outer City, would you like to go with Uncle Cheng to have a look?"

"Sister, you want to open a pharmacy?"

"Yes, from what I saw today, the Outer City is not as prosperous as the inner city. I think there must be a lot of people who are sick and can’t afford medical treatment or medicine. I want to open a pharmacy there. What do you think?"
