It was only after Jiang Yuanyao's death that she realized...
Chapter 203 Not a Good Person
Jiang Yueyao's word "mother" was actually unconscious.
As soon as she woke up and met Bai Jinyu's gentle eyes, her heart softened and she cried out.
Bai Jinyu was obviously stunned, then she laughed.
"Yaoyao, are you missing your mother?"
"Oh, oh, my poor dear, come here, let Auntie Yu hug you." She hugged Jiang Yueyao into her arms.
Jiang Yueyao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I just stayed in her arms.
There was a pleasant smell on her mother's body, not the scent of powder, but a faint fragrance that Jiang Yueyao liked very much.
Bai Jinyu stroked her little face with her hand, and thought of her daughter who ran away from home, and her mood became depressed.
"I don't know where Qingqing is now. It's so cold outside, and she didn't bring any clothes. I don't know if she has enough money..." As she said this, she began to cry again.
Jiang Yueyao hurried out of her arms.
He took a handkerchief, wiped her tears and comforted her.
"Back then, she returned to the capital from Mobei alone, a journey of thousands of miles, and she made her way back like that."
"Now, she is with Xuan Ji. Master Xuan Ji is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple. Although I don't know if he has any martial arts skills, his Buddhist teachings are also very powerful. You have seen it with your own eyes. An enlightened monk like him is not something that ordinary people dare to mess with."
"So, don't worry for now, Qingqing will be fine."
Perhaps her consolation worked.
Over the next few days, Bai Jinyu's mood gradually stabilized. She no longer cried out of worry for Shen Baoqing, but she also didn't stare at the egg custard and mutter "Baoqi" like before.
Jiang Yueyao thought, no rush, take it slow, mother will remember her one day.
February 2nd is the day when the dragon raises its head. It is a good day.
Jiang Yueyao Restaurant opened and was named "Qianweilou".
Knowing that it was her grandfather who helped her pick it, everyone has different tastes. Those that are palatable are precious, and those who understand the taste are valuable.
Jiang Yueyao likes this name very much.
She still took the route of attracting the powerful and influential people in Beijing, and treated them as VIPs. The more times they spent at Qianweilou, the more she would receive a business card.
With this name card, you will be the most distinguished customer of Qianweilou and enjoy the highest service of Qianweilou.
Except for a few chefs in the kitchen, all the staff at Qianweilou are young people.
All of them are girls and boys, all of them are young and energetic.
The boys of seventeen or eighteen and the girls of fifteen or sixteen are superior among ordinary people in terms of appearance and temperament.
Jiang Yueyao invited a tailor to dress them in the same style.
Girls all wore his pink tops with light green trousers.
Why no skirt?
The main thing is running up and down the stairs, in the front hall and in the back yard. It is not as convenient to work in a skirt as in pants.
The guys were dressed more simply, in light brown, and looked very energetic.
Jiang Yueyao is both the boss and the shopkeeper.
Due to the good hype, "Qianweilou" was packed every day for the first three days of its opening, and Jiang Yueyao was extremely busy.
If her biological father, Shen Huaishan, wants to see her, he has to come to 'Qianweilou'.
"You leave early and come back late, how come you're busier than me?"
It happened to be not busy at the moment, so Jiang Yueyao asked someone to make tea. She pulled Shen Huaishan to sit at the table next to her and poured him a cup of hot tea herself.
Shen Huaishan took a sip and looked up at her: “Steal my tea?”
Jiang Yueyao was shocked.
"You drank all this?"
Shen Huaishan couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and nodded at her: "You've even taken advantage of me to get your money. Boss Shen is really amazing."
"Oh, Daddy, I only took a small can. I usually don't want to give it to others."
Shen Huaishan didn’t believe her at all.
He took the tea can, took a look, and saw that more than half of it was missing. He couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Who did you give it to?"
Jiang Yueyao blinked: "I drank it."
"Oh, I'll give you another chance to confess and be lenient."
"Oh, oh, Daddy, why are you like this? You have already guessed it, why are you still asking me?" Jiang Yueyao said, and glanced at him lightly.
Shen Huaishan was amused.
Very happy.
"You're really good! You're really promising! You're using your own father's things to please Lu Sui!"
Seeing that he was angry, Jiang Yueyao immediately stood up and sat next to him.
She crossed her arms and began to act coquettishly: "Daddy, I have absolutely no intention of trying to please him."
"snort!"
"You know, he sent people from all over the country to find the three chefs in my kitchen. You've tasted them, and their cooking skills are top-notch. Plus, on the opening day, he gave me a statue made of pure gold to attract wealth and fortune."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the golden statue on the cabinet not far away.
It was a sunny day today, and the sunlight shining in made the golden lumps, more than half a meter high, shine even brighter, making the entire restaurant look magnificent.
Shen Huaishan was speechless.
“Vulgar!”
"So vulgar!"
"How can he, the Prince Regent, have such vulgar tastes?"
Jiang Yueyao covered her mouth and laughed non-stop. After she had laughed enough, she said a few good words for Lu Sui.
"It's not really him who's vulgar, it's me. My daughter just likes these vulgar things like gold and silver."
"He's just trying to please me."
"Heh!" Shen Huaishan sneered, "He's quite scheming and good at studying. Xiaoqi, Lu Sui is not a good person."
Shen Huaishan didn't stay long before leaving.
He was very busy every day, either in the palace or in the military camp outside the city. When he had some free time, he would either come to see Jiang Yueyao or stay at home with Bai Jinyu for a while.
There is still no news about Shen Baoqing.
But no news is good news.
As soon as Shen Huaishan left, Lu Sui arrived.
He had just come out of the palace, still wearing a dark purple dragon robe and a jade crown to tie his hair, and he was extremely handsome.
Jiang Yueyao had just picked a few red plum blossoms from the backyard and was about to put them in a vase when she saw him come in.
Thinking of her father who had just passed away, she smiled.
"If you had come a little earlier, you would have run into my dad."
Lu Sui stood in front of the counter and met her smiling almond eyes: "What? Did Duke Shen say bad things about me in front of you again?"
Jiang Yueyao pointed at the fortune-bringing item on the table.
"Well, he said you were vulgar."
Lu Sui smiled, walked aside and sat down.
In February, it was still freezing cold outside.
There was a fireplace burning in the restaurant, and it was warm.
Jiang Yueyao hung the fox fur cloak that Lu Sui had taken off on the hanger prepared for guests, then sat down opposite him, holding her chin with her hands, looking at him with her bright almond eyes.
"Aren't you busy today? Why are you here so early?"
Lu Sui glanced at her and raised his hand to rub his swollen eyebrows.
"I just came out of the palace. The emperor was afraid that I would be mad at the little prince, so he kindly let me out of the palace to get some fresh air."
'Puchi...' Jiang Yueyao laughed out loud.
"Didn't you praise him for being smart the day before yesterday? Why are you so angry today?"
Lu Sui shook his head: "It's hard to put it into words."
The snacks were served, and Jiang Yueyao was about to pour him some tea when Lu Sui said, "I didn't eat much at noon, and my stomach feels uncomfortable now."
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she hurriedly asked Sulan to cook him a bowl of noodles.
Lu Sui didn't eat much.
But the hot noodles made him look much better.
He didn't stay long before someone came looking for him.
Jiang Yueyao walked him to the carriage and asked softly, "When will you take a rest?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Come to see me?"
Lu Sui raised his eyebrows and teased her on purpose.
"What do I want to see you for?"
