Someone knocked on the door. When he opened it, he saw a strange man carrying something. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Yu Yaohui also frowned: "Who are you?"

When Yuan Jinjin heard the noise, she hurriedly said, "Chao Shi, that's my friend."

He opened the door and asked people to come in.

Yu Yaohui came over with something in his hand and asked, "Who is this person?"

Yuan Jinjin said: "Guardian."

Yu Yaohui really felt that he had underestimated this woman. She actually hired a guard. Maybe she had some money somewhere else that she didn't know about. He handed over the food and said, "I don't know if you and your daughter have eaten. I was worried, so I came here."

Yuan Jinjin hurriedly said, "Brother Yu, you don't have to spend so much money in the future. I have a cook here."

Yu Yaohui felt even more like he had missed something. There was nothing here yesterday, but today there are so many guards and cooks.

Nian Nian came over and called out enthusiastically, "Dad, Dad."

It's so soft and tender, and it really makes you feel intimate.

Yu Yaohui stepped forward and picked up the child, saying affectionately, "Be good, Nian Nian."

This made Chao Shi dumbfounded.

Yuan Jinjin also felt that it was wrong to call him that, and said, "Nian Nian, call me godfather, one less character."

Yu Yaohui said with a blaming tone, "Of course, if Dad wants to be close, just call him Dad."

He curled his lips at Shi. Who is this person? Do father and godfather mean the same thing?

Yu Yaohui changed the subject and said, "I came here today because I thought of something. There will be an annual temple fair in Lin'an the day after tomorrow. It would be boring for you two to stay at home. How about I take you and your daughter to the temple fair the day after tomorrow?"

temple fair?

Yuan Jinjin knew about it, but she had never been there, so she said, "Okay, I just happen to be free."

"Well, I'll pick you up then."

Yuan Jinjin nodded, "Thank you very much."

"You and I don't need to thank you."

Aunt Yu was about to go out to buy groceries. When she saw a foreign man, she approached him and asked, "Master, I'm going out to buy groceries. Can you keep some for us?"

Yuan Jinjin said: "Don't keep it."

Yu Yaohui also heard this.

Yuan Jinjin never tried to keep Yu Yaohui, mainly because he came and left on his own initiative, so naturally she thought he would leave soon.

However, I really didn't expect that today, Yu Yaohui was teaching the children to learn characters while playing, and he forgot the time for a moment. When the time came, they naturally ate together. He didn't neglect anyone. With the cook's food, the dishes would not be shabby, but there was no fish or meat for the treat.

But the children call dad and mom, and they really look like a family.

Yu Yaohui personally prepared egg custard with rice and fed it to the child. Yuan Jinjin wanted to do it herself, but was rejected: "I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, but I miss it. You don't even let me do it, it's too cruel."

Yuan Jinjin was speechless. Yu Yaohui was like this every time. She couldn't say anything to refute him, so she just followed him.

Aunt Yu had just arrived and didn't understand the situation. She wanted to ask for permission to come, but it seemed like she was redundant and the host didn't even bother to look at her, so her stepson followed her.

Chao Shi felt that this man had ulterior motives, and he didn't know whether to tell Third Grandma. After all, this was Young Master's person and a member of the Xie family. How could he ask an outsider to poach her?

Fortunately, the foreign man left on his own after the child became sleepy.

Aunt Yuan also went to take a nap. Chao Shi asked Aunt Yu to watch the door while he went out.

After returning to the Xie family's residence, Chao Shi went to look for Feng Zhuohua. It happened that Feng Zhuohua and Luo Mingrou were asking the matchmaker about the daughters of noble families in Lin'an.

Most girls from wealthy families get engaged early. They start looking for a husband when they reach the age of 15, and then stay at home for two years before getting married. But there are also some who get married by chance, that is, those who have many daughters in the family.

Among them, there is a family whose daughter is the prefect, who is the immediate superior of the county magistrate. If they are related to him, then they are marrying above their station.

But Feng Zhuohua has to see, Feng Zhuoming has also reached the age of marriage, the women in Bianjing are not bad, but if she has to make a selection, wealth is not the main consideration, but virtuous character is more important.

Otherwise, if you only focus on family background and not character, and serve a spoiled girl all day long, how can you live a comfortable life?

Feng Zhuohua wrote a post, and posted it in the name of Lady Luo Mingrou. Naturally, she sent more than one message, and invited all the good families mentioned by the matchmaker to come together to look at the couple.

Chao Shi waited for a long time, and Feng Zhuohua also noticed it. After the matchmaker left, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there something they want to talk to me about?"

Chao Shi shook his head and said, "Miss Yuan had a guest at home today, and the child at home called that man dad. They seemed to be very familiar with each other, and they ate together at noon, and the man fed the child himself."

Feng Zhuohua frowned and said, "Do you see anything that's beyond the rules?"

Chao Shi said, "No, but I heard Miss Yuan teach the child to call him godfather, but the man insisted that the child call him dad."

"Then?"

"Miss Yuan did not refute what the man said."

You can't just call anyone "Dad". If Yuan Jinjin likes someone else, the child will definitely not stay with her.

Feng Zhuohua asked: "What do you think?"

"It's obvious that the man is not a good person. I don't like him."

"What did the man do?"

"I spent the whole morning with the child. I heard him teaching the child to read."

Luo Mingrou couldn't help but ask: "Isn't he a teacher?"

Chao Shi said, "No, I brought breakfast this morning, saying that I was worried that the mother and daughter hadn't eaten. I saw that the sun was high in the sky, so I came here to perform."

Feng Zhuohua thought for a moment and said, "Since it's not beyond the rules, let's ignore it for now. She also has the right to make friends. I have already sent a letter to the Xie family. From now on, let Xin Nian handle these matters herself."

"Yes."

Feng Zhuohua said: "You should be careful of men doing things that go beyond the rules."

"Yes. By the way, there will be a temple fair the day after tomorrow, and that person said he would take them mother and daughter to the temple fair."

That really is an ulterior motive. Feng Zhuohua said, "You can follow me then."

"Yes."

Walking towards the eleventh, Feng Zhuohua's eyebrows were furrowed. If a man knows how to control a woman, and if she is interested in breakfast and feeding children, then it will be troublesome. After a long time, the stone was warmed up.

When Chao Shi returned, Yuan Jinjin had just finished her afternoon nap. Yuan Jinjin didn't know Chao Shi had been out, so she woke up the child and took him out for a walk, with Chao Shi following.

When Yin saw someone going out, she asked them to come to her house and sit down. So Yuan Jinjin took her children to sit down at the neighbor's house.

There is a stone table in the Yin family’s yard, which is perfect for drinking tea and chatting.

Yin asked, "What does the Magistrate's wife want to see you for? It looks like you two know each other."

Yuan Jinjin thought about it and realized that there was nothing wrong with saying it. It could also help to praise Nian Nian and prevent people from looking down on her. She said, "She is Nian Nian's aunt."

My aunt is my grandmother's sister. My aunt's family is an official, so what does my grandmother's family do? Yin couldn't help but become curious about Nian Nian's father. She pointed at the child walking around in the garden and asked, "What about her father...?"

Yuan Jinjin said: "Her father is indeed a businessman." After that, Yuan Jinjin never mentioned it again. She said this many times, and others could believe it or not.

At this point, Yin also believed it, but it was impossible for a father not to come until his child was three years old. However, she avoided the topic and talked about what kind of person the new county master was.

Yuan Jinjin just said that she had only met him a few times and couldn't say for sure.

With her aunt as a relative of the government, Yin became more enthusiastic. She also talked about the temple fair and said that they would go together when the time came. Yuan Jinjin also agreed.
