Chapter 72 People from the General of the Nation's Mansion Have Arrived! (Third Update)

So that's all thanks to his skills.

Shen Pingjin trusted Young Master Qin even more. Looking at the newly decorated Glass Pavilion, she asked, "Young Master Qin, what about the menu..."

Li Qin'er had been busy with the matter of the Glass Pavilion these past few days. She was just waiting for Shen Pingjin to ask about the menu. With a haughty look, she took out the menu from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Pingjin.

"Your Highness, this is the menu that I, Qin, have prepared. Please take a look."

Shen Pingjin looked at the brand-new menu with surprise and carefully took it.

She opened it and saw that each page contained a dish, and the menu was divided into sections, just like the one she had imagined that day.

The breakfast section offers upgraded crystal steamed buns, oatmeal porridge, black rice porridge, steamed dumplings, braised pork with vermicelli, noodles with soybean paste, seaweed and tofu noodles, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), purple rice cakes, fried dough sticks... For something refreshing, there's soy milk, rice wine, thin porridge, diluted yogurt, milk, coconut milk...

The lunch menu includes both meat and vegetarian options. Meat dishes include home-style stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried potatoes with sausage, chicken and eggplant, and braised beef. Vegetarian options include leafy greens, onions, potatoes, and carrots.

Dinner was simple: corn, sweet potato, and eggs...

There are all sorts of things, including some brand-new local snacks.

Shen Pingjin looked at the menu and found that some dishes were even more appealing than spicy crayfish and crystal soup dumplings.

She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Young Master Qin, sometimes I really want to crack open your head and see if what's inside is different from what others have."

This made Li Qin'er feel embarrassed. She looked at Chen Pingjin and said, "Your Highness is too kind. After all, I am loyal to you, so naturally I will do my best in this matter of the menu."

Shen Pingjin nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, I'll leave the opening of the Glass Pavilion to you. If you need money, just send me a message."

Li Qin'er couldn't have been happier. Lately, it seemed that because the annual Spring Banquet was about to be held, many royal relatives and nobles often visited the Imperial Clothing Shop in the capital, which made it difficult for her to come to the Glass Pavilion.

Shen Pingjin's words immediately solved her urgent problem, and Li Qin'er was extremely grateful.

Li Qin'er raised her hand in a gesture of respect, "Since Your Highness has entrusted me with this task, I, Qin, will naturally live up to your expectations and manage the Glass Pavilion in an orderly manner."

Chen Pingjin waved her hand: "Young Master Qin, if the Liuli Pavilion really does rise from the ground in the future, the two of us must have a proper celebration!"

"The glass shop will definitely be a success!" Li Qin'er made up her mind. She had been struggling because she didn't have any money, but now she had Shen Pingjin's help. With the right timing, location, and people, she had both manpower and resources. Things would definitely get better and better!

Seeing the gleam in Qin Gongzi's eyes, Shen Pingjin's resolve strengthened.

The two sat down at the new-style table and chairs. Chen Pingjin poured a cup of hot tea and was about to drink it down when there was a knock on the door.

Shen Pingjin got up and opened the door, but she was stunned when she opened it.

The two people in front of them were Nian'an and Nian Ning. Nian'an looked anxious. When the door finally opened, she opened her mouth to speak. When she saw that it was Shen Pingjin who opened the door, the two of them were stunned and then burst into tears.

This startled Shen Pingjin. Then, seeing the two of them bursting into tears, she immediately asked anxiously:

"Were you two bullied by someone at the Regent's Palace?"

Nianning remained relatively calm, her voice broken as she replied, "Your Highness, this servant... this servant thought you didn't want Nianning anymore... Waaaaah..."

Nian'an's eyes were also red. She looked at Chen Pingjin, rushed forward and hugged her tightly. "Miss, today Nian'an will not call you Princess Consort. Nian'an has served by your side since childhood and has never left your side. Now you have broken up with the Regent and left the manor without saying a word, and you didn't even take the two of us with you. We thought you were going to abandon us..."

Shen Pingjin stared blankly at the two people in front of her, and she realized what they had misunderstood.

The two maids, Nian'an and Nianning, probably knew that Yan Jue and Nian'an had quarreled and that he had left the manor alone without them. The two maids thought that he was abandoning them by not taking them with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Pingjin found it somewhat amusing. She reached out and hugged Nian'an tightly, then gently stroked Nian Ning's head with her left hand, as if to comfort her. "How could you two be so silly? If I never go back, wouldn't I take all those clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and dowry with me? Besides, you two followed me here from the Shen family. You can't bear to leave me, so how could I bear to leave you?"

Shen Pingjin was so angry she almost laughed.

These two girls are really silly!

After receiving the explanation, Nian'an gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears and looked at Nian Ning beside her with a smile through her tears, "Nian Ning, Miss didn't want to abandon us. This is so wonderful!"

Shen Pingjin laughed and scolded, "You two, really..."

But then Shen Pingjin realized something was wrong. She hadn't told anyone that she had gone out alone today, so how could Nian An and Nian Ning know that she was in the Liuli Pavilion?

Seemingly sensing Shen Pingjin's concerns, Nianning wiped away her tears. "Miss, we came here because His Highness the Regent was worried about you and had arranged for guards around you beforehand. Nian'an and I didn't actually notice you were gone at first. It was only when people from the Zhenguo General's Mansion came to the mansion and said they wanted to see you that I realized you were missing."

Upon hearing the words "General's Mansion," Chen Pingjin frowned slightly. General's Mansion... Could it be that Lu Qingjia has arrived?

Li Qin'er seemed to have noticed Shen Pingjin's hesitation. She stood up and bowed to Shen Pingjin, "Your Highness, I, Qin, am in charge of the Liuli Pavilion. Since it is someone from the General's Mansion who is looking for you, then they must have something important to discuss with you."

Shen Pingjin had the same thought. She was also curious and worried about how little Baozi Lu Qingjia was doing.

She nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this glass shop to Young Master Qin to take care of. If you need money or manpower in the future, just send me a message."

Li Qin'er nodded: "I understand, Your Highness, please go back now."

Shen Pingjin turned around and smiled at Nianwan and Nianning, "Now that I've taken care of things here, let's go back to the manor and take a look."

In her past life, Lu Qingjia hadn't met her, so she was kidnapped and taken to the Northern Barbarians. In this life, she rescued Lu Qingjia from the kidnappers, and she wanted to see how he was doing now.

Shen Pingjin led Nian'an and Nianning out of the Glass Pavilion, boarded the prepared carriage, and left the Glass Pavilion, raising dust along the way.
