"This cake is called steamed cake, it's not some new method. It's just like steamed buns being steamed in a steamer."

Shen Zhu explained with a smile, and at the same time packed a portion into the food box.

"The cakes made by the Mother are delicious. Shuer likes them the most." Jingshu fawned over him while holding a piece of white steamed cake.

"Eat more if you like it. This steamed cake won't get hot."

Shen Zhu looked at Jingshu's cute eating of the pastries, and touched her cheek. Seated in Ah Qiu's bosom, Ruanruan also extended her hand out, wanting to snatch the steamed cake from Ah Qiu's mouth. Seeing that, she broke off a small piece and gave it to her.

"Where are you going, sister-in-law?" Ah Qiu saw that she had filled the box with pastries and asked in confusion.

"I'll go send some to the Yi'er and some others. It must have been hard for them after reading all day."

After Shen Zhu put away the food, he also ate two pieces of cake, and then brought his things to the door, "I'll be troubling you to take a look at the two children at home, I'll be back soon."

"Sister-in-law, just go. Don't worry." The Ah Qiu smiled and waved to them.

Shen Zhu carried the food box to the west courtyard. From a distance, he could hear the clear sounds of the two children's studying.

After entering the yard, she stood at the door of the study for a while before knocking. She then heard a reply coming from inside.

"I came all of a sudden. I didn't disturb your lessons, did I?" Shen Zhu brought his food box into the house and asked with a smile.

"I won't disturb you. I've already gotten used to it by now."

The moment Ming Yuchen saw Shen Zhu, he was extremely surprised. After hearing what she had to say, he immediately explained, "Sister Shen, why are you here?"

Logically speaking, Shen Zhu should be so busy that his feet should not even touch the ground, how did he have the time to come to his courtyard?

"Mother." Zi Yi also quickly put down the book in his hand, and obediently stood at the side as he shouted towards Shen Zhu.

"I made some pastries today. I thought you all had a hard time studying, so I specially sent some to you." Shen Zhu said as he placed the food box on the table, opened the lid and took out the pastries.

Elder sister Shen has worked hard. Since you guys have so much to do, just let Villa's chef do these things for you. Elder sister Shen doesn't have to do everything personally, don't let your body get tired of it. "

Seeing that, Ming Yuchen immediately walked forward and helped Shen Zhu place the pastries from the food box on the table.

To him, Shen Zhu treated his long term illness as if he was reborn with a parents. If Shen Zhu collapsed from working on these things, his heart would not be at ease.

"Just make some food. It's not tiring." Shen Zhu laughed and said, "I cannot help much with packing, I can only help with words."

"The new cake made by the Mother tastes really good." Zi Yi, who was eating some pastries, immediately praised.

Hearing that, Ming Yuchen also took two pieces of cake, and after eating, he nodded his head and praised.

The three of them sat in the room and chatted for a while, before Shen Zhu packed his things and left.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and the matters of the village had been taken care of. Su Zongwen rented two carriages and rode with Su Yixuan to the village to pick up Su Zhizhong and the rest.

The carriage that Su Yixuan was driving had four elders from the Su Family, and the carriage that Su Zongwen was driving had Shen Zhu, Su Yunyan, Su Qingyi and Ah Qiu, as well as two children, Ruanruan and Zi Yi.

Ah Qiu originally wanted to bring Aunt Liu along with him, but because Aunt Liu had lived in the Villa for so many years and had some relationship with them, he did not want to return to the capital to reminisce about some old people, so he stayed behind in the Clear Water Town and did not go with them.

As there were old people and children in the carriage, the carriage didn't travel very fast. In addition, it was spring and the flowers were in full bloom. The scenery on the road was very beautiful, so the journey was slowed down a lot.

"Sister-in-law, look at all the flowers blooming over there. They're really pretty."

The horse carriage walked along the public road, and when Su Yunyan had nothing better to do, he opened the curtains and looked outside, just in time to see the fields outside full of flowers, he was immediately shocked.

"It's not like you haven't seen wild flowers before? Weren't there used to be a lot of them in front of our house? That field is one after another, which one of them isn't prettier than this? "

Su Qingyi did not wait for Shen Zhu to speak and directly snatched her away.

"It's not every day that I'm stuck in a carriage, and I can't see anything. It's rare to see something like this now. What, are you not going to let me talk about it?" Su Yunyan snorted unhappily.

"Save your time. When we arrive at the capital, there will be plenty of things for you to see. I'm afraid your eyes will not be enough!" Su Qingyi ridiculed.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation towards such a bustling place like Beijing.

The few of them laughed and made a ruckus in the carriage. Su Zongwen, who was sitting outside the carriage and listening to the ringing sound of the bell, relaxed his tired mood even though he had been rushing around for the past few days. His lips unconsciously curved into a faint smile.

It took them more than half a month to reach the capital.

As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, one could hear the sound of people on the street mumbling.

The official road of the capital was countless times more spacious than the Clear Water Town. As Su Yunyan looked around, he felt that even if the three of them were to walk side by side, the street would not feel crowded.

The streets were filled with people dressed in silver and gold, and luxurious carriages could be seen passing by from time to time.

"May I ask if this is the carriage of the Master Su?" As soon as the three carriages entered the city, they were stopped by an attendant.

"You are?" Su Zongwen did not immediately reply, but sized up the servant in front of him.

"I am from the Prince Xian's Mansion. I've been ordered to wait here for my young master." The attendant quickly explained, then looked inside the carriage, "Is my young master in the carriage?"

"So it's someone from the Prince Xian's mansion. Please forgive me for being rude. Your young master is sitting in a carriage at the back." Su Zongwen said politely.

After the servant thanked him, he retreated to the back of the carriage. Not long later, Ming Yuchen came out of the carriage and stepped on the low stool as he got off.

"Second Young Master, this way please." The servant respectfully bowed towards Ming Yuchen and led him towards the carriage that they had prepared.

Ming Yuchen, Su Zongwen and the rest bid their farewells to the servants and went up to the carriage prepared by the Xian Wang Mansion.

The group of people bade farewell to the city gate. The rest of the people then rode their carriages all the way to the Su Residence, and only then did the carriages stop.

"We're here." It was unknown who shouted, but upon hearing the sound, everyone in the carriage got off.

After journeying for more than half a month, the few old people were so shaken that their bones were about to fall apart, and Shen Zhu, Su Qingyi and the other young ladies were not in very good shape either. Even though they were rushing during the day and staying in the tavern during the night, it was really uncomfortable riding in the carriages all day long.

"Big brother, we are back."

Su Zhiyan got off the carriage first, and stood at the side of the carriage, looking at the scenery around him.

"It's been twenty-three years. I never thought that I would actually be able to return to the Su Family in my entire life."

Su Zhizhong was the same as the others. As he stood at the entrance of the Su Palace and raised his head to look at the many ancient tablets, his eyes became slightly moist.

"Stop talking like that. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Madame Chen did not know what to say, and only held Su Zhizhong's arm and wiped away his tears.
