Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 510: High-profile Restaurant
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I didn't realize your family is quite powerful."
Transportation was inconvenient these days, and there was no particularly advanced preservation technology. It was not easy to send fresh fish from Jiangnan to here.
The waiter said proudly, "Of course. Our boss's business is all over Daxia. Not only fish, but even other more precious things can be shipped here."
"Really?" Ji Yunshu seemed very interested. "Do you have any other rare items in your restaurant?"
The waiter scratched his head and said, "Well, it's hard for me to say. Maybe in Madam's eyes, it's nothing."
He has worked in the best restaurant in Youzhou for many years. He has met many dignitaries and has developed a sharp eye.
Although Ji Yunshu's dress was very low-key and she was not covered in pearls and jade, the material of her clothes was the finest Shu brocade, which was something that ordinary people could not buy even if they had money.
And the fox fur cloak on the outside was pure white without any stray hairs. He had never seen many such things.
Ji Yunshu's casual attire shows that she comes from a prominent family.
What they consider rare may be common in the eyes of others.
The waiter didn't dare to exaggerate.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Just chatting casually, why are you so reserved? I don't get to go out much, and my experience is limited. I've never seen a beauty like that lady just now."
Every beauties is different. She has never seen the mature and charming one here before.
The waiter felt a little embarrassed, thinking that the woman in front of him was jealous of the beauty of the lady just now, so he wanted to find out the truth.
He was about to say something when the shopkeeper called out, "What are you talking about? Go get to work."
The waiter left immediately after hearing this.
Ji Yunshu glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that he was calculating the accounts on an abacus without even looking up. He smiled but said nothing.
She took a bite of the fish with her chopsticks and praised it: "It is indeed very fresh."
At this time, it is difficult to eat fresh fish even in the capital.
Liu Yan said thoughtfully, "Madam, are you interested in that lady?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Who wouldn't be interested in a beauty like that? That general is truly blessed."
Liu Yan looked at her with envy on her face, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she envied the lady's beauty or the general's good fortune?
"The lady's appearance is no less than that of the man just now."
The most important thing is that she is still young.
Ji Yunshu poked the fish in his bowl with his chopsticks: "But men all like that, don't they?"
Liu Yan: “…”
She really didn't know how to say this?
But she saw clearly how Prince Zhao treated Ji Yunshu, and it was no exaggeration to say that she obeyed his orders.
Ji Yunshu actually suspected the other party?
Liu Yan didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at Qian Qian eating quietly, she didn't know what to say. She felt a stomachache after eating the meal.
She found that Ji Yunshu was a difficult person to understand. Even though she had known him for such a long time, he always did something unexpected when she thought she knew him a little bit.
After getting to know Ji Yunshu, she felt that Ji Yunshu was the object of envy of all women in the world, with a distinguished family background and an enviable husband.
But now, she actually envied a middle-aged woman.
She felt that this was a little unreal, but she couldn't explain the purpose of Ji Yunshu doing this.
Ji Yunshu didn't care what she was thinking and was very satisfied with the meal.
These days she was either on the road or staying in some remote towns. She hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
This restaurant is really not bragging. They served them a total of six dishes, the portions were not too big, just right for three people.
But each dish belongs to a different cuisine, the chef is very skilled and the ingredients are very fresh.
It is no exaggeration to say that the imperial cuisine in the palace is only at this level.
Ji Yunshu found it very interesting to open a restaurant like this in a place like this.
After dinner, she stayed a little longer and packed up some of the restaurant's unique snacks before going home.
It was still early when they returned, and the Ji family father and son and Zhao Shen had not returned yet.
After Liu Yan left, only Ji Yunshu and Qian Qian were left in the room.
Ji Yunshu then asked Qian Qian, "Did you see anything?"
Qian Qian thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say about that beautiful lady, but I feel something is wrong with this restaurant."
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, haven't you figured it out? Why would a wealthy person come to a place like Wuning? A restaurant like that, if it's not for profit, then why would it be open?"
Youzhou is close to Mobei, where there are frequent wars and the climatic conditions are not good. It is not a suitable place to live, so rich people will not choose to settle in such a place.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Yes, and he's so high-profile, no wonder no one would suspect it."
Qian Qian also laughed: "Indeed, it's too high-profile, and it looks like it has been around for many years. If the eldest lady hadn't paid special attention to it, I wouldn't have thought too much about it."
Ji Yunshu didn't think that Qian Qian wouldn't notice anything without her. From the first time they met, she found that Qian Qian had a strong ability to observe and was very sensitive to many things.
Just like she was able to quickly discover that her father was fake and find the flaws.
"You don't have to underestimate yourself. If I didn't think you were exceptionally capable, I wouldn't have asked you to stay in the military camp. It's bound to be a difficult road. If you don't have the ability, I'll only hurt you."
After hearing what she said, Qian Qian stopped being modest and said, "Thank you for trusting me, Miss. I won't let you down."
Ji Yunshu looked at the determination in her eyes and smiled, "I believe you. Actually, I brought this up with my brother not just for you. I hope women can have other options besides getting married and having children."
Qian Qian's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Miss, I will try my best."
She thought Ji Yunshu just wanted to help her, but she didn't expect that she had such a big ambition.
Let women all over the world have more paths to choose from, such as joining the army and doing things that the world thinks only men can do.
Whenever she thought of this, she felt her heart burning with joy.
Ji Yunshu patted her shoulder and said, "Well, if we work together, the world will definitely become a better place. But there's no need to be too stressed. Even if we can't do it, someone else will be able to do it in the future."
Qian Qian originally just wanted to find a place to stay for herself, but now Ji Yunshu's few words have opened the door to a new world for her.
It was still vague until I left.
Ji Yunshu looked at her back and said enviously, "It's great to be young."
If she had been Qian Qian's age when she traveled through time, she might have chosen to follow her father and brother here instead of wasting time in the palace, waiting to get married and have children.
During the days she was away, Bai Ling and Yin Ye went to the army to help.
Ji Yunlan asked them to come back today. When he heard her words as soon as he entered the room, Bai Ling said with a smile: "Madam, you are obviously very young yourself, why are you envious of others?"
Yin Ye also said, "That girl is not only young, she's also a child, okay? She's only this young and you're throwing her into the military camp. Madam, can you really have the heart to do that?"
Ji Yunshu suddenly remembered that the two of them seemed to have come from the military camp.
