Chapter 40 Why are you so delicate?

It got dark quickly.

Lanterns of various colors were hung on the streets.

More and more people came.

Most of them were students wearing moon-white gowns and Confucian scarves on their heads.

These are the students from the Imperial College who are coming out for classes.

The buns from Mrs. Li’s bun shop had already been steamed.

But it was deserted and no one was interested.

Luo Fu was a little surprised and walked to the outer room: "Why is there no one here?"

Murong Jin glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately bowed and quietly left.

He supported Luo Fu and said, "It's a new shop, so it's normal that no one pays attention to it. My lord, please wait a little longer. If someone comes to eat the first one, there will be a second one. Didn't my lord say that these buns are delicious?"

Luo Fu nodded, and felt that she was too impatient, so she followed him into the inner room.

After a while, a group of students suddenly came, and they all rushed to buy buns like starving ghosts.

When leaving, everyone held two large cowhide bags of buns and stuffed them into their mouths as hard as they could.

He kept praising the food while eating.

Some people who were more knowledgeable even wrote a poem at the door.

It attracted many people to stop and watch.

Luo Fu was stunned. She looked at Chang Jin and asked, "Where did these people come from? Why did they come so suddenly? And why are they writing poetry?"

She asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you are the ones who brought this here?"

Murong Jin remained calm and said, "How could that be? I am just a small eunuch in the inner court. Even if I had the will, how could I possibly shake the hearts of so many scholars?"

Love thought about it and agreed.

She went to see the students again, and now two of them were writing poetry.

He was so passionate, as if what he held in his hands were not buns, but beautiful articles and major issues concerning family and country.

The eunuchs who had returned had wet backs.

I cursed in my heart, what a bunch of useless things, asking them to buy a bun and yet they make such a fuss!

The emperor has to make it happen, otherwise everyone will die!

Murong Jin's expression remained calm: "These scholars are just like that, sour and noisy. Your Excellency doesn't like them, so should I have them driven away?"

Luo Fu hurriedly said, "No! How can we chase away customers when doing business? Look, other people are already buying."

Outside the shop, people who were attracted by the students' exaggerated behavior and smelled the fragrance of the buns couldn't help but come to buy them.

After tasting it, everyone praised it highly.

Some people also asked Mrs. Li, Shang Lu and others when the store would open tomorrow.

The eunuch standing at the door secretly glanced into the room and saw that the beauty had a smile on her face.

His heart finally settled down in his stomach.

very nice.

I can see the rising sun again tomorrow.

Inside, Murong Jin was also looking at Luo Fu: "Are you finally relieved now, my lord?"

Luo Fu nodded and said with a smile, "I was told that Mrs. Li's buns were so delicious, so her business would definitely be good."

There are too many people and it is dirty.

Murong Jin didn't want her to stay here any longer, so he said, "Since you are relieved, it's time to go back. It's getting late, and it's almost time for you to go to bed."

Seeing that business was good, Luo Fu was not sleepy at all. However, it was indeed getting late, as the inner court's teaching nanny would be here tomorrow.

She needed to stay alert and make a good impression on Mammy.

Knowing that Luo Fu was leaving, Shang Lu and Ren Dong hurriedly dropped what they were doing and came over to go back with her.

Two eunuchs stopped them and said with a smile, "Young ladies, you see there are more and more guests outside. If we all leave, it will be difficult for them to handle it. How about you two stay busy for a while and we will come back tomorrow to take you back?"

The shop was indeed busy at this time, but Shanglu and Honeysuckle were worried: "We are not with the girl, who will serve her?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Don't worry, ladies. Shuyuju will not leave the nobles without anyone to serve them."

Luo Fu looked at the increasing number of people outside the shop, the sweaty Mrs. Li, and the six people who were working tirelessly, and said, "You guys can help out here. Just sell these few steamed buns. Don't overwork yourself. There are beds in the shop. You can stay here tonight. If it's too hot, use the money you earn to buy some ice. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow."

The two of them could only respond and watch her being supported by a long cinder ring and go out the back door.

When he returned to Shuyu Residence, the eunuch in charge hurried to greet him and was still very attentive.

Shuyuju was still quiet.

I didn't see anyone walking around.

Luo Fu suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "Father-in-law, didn't you say that I could go out without restrictions? Why haven't I seen other concubines in the few times I've been out?"

The steward's body stiffened a bit, but his expression remained calm as he smiled, "Before the noble arrives at Shuyu Residence, there's plenty of time, and most of the other nobles will also come out to enjoy the scenery. However, tomorrow is the day when the teaching nanny comes to teach etiquette, so I think the nobles are nervous and will not be out and about as much."

Love nodded: "So that's how it is."

She lifted her skirt and went upstairs.

The teaching nanny will be here tomorrow, so she needs to cheer up.

As soon as I returned to the room, a eunuch brought me water and food.

Luo Fu washed her hands and saw Chang Jin standing aside with his hands folded, as if waiting to see her eat. She couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going back to the inner court?"

Murong Jin said, "I am being targeted now. I am afraid there will be no place for me in the department from now on. I can only ask you to take me in."

Love was a little surprised, but considering his behavior, it was expected that he would be targeted.

It was just too fast. She was thinking of using the money to help him settle the matter after entering the palace.

She sighed, "That's fine. From now on, you can live peacefully by my side. It's better than running around recklessly outside and eventually losing your life."

Murong Jin smiled: "Your Excellency is right."

After Luo Fu finished her meal and rested for a while, two palace maids came in and helped her to take a bath in the side room.

When she came out again, she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.

But her black hair was not dry yet.

Under the emperor's gaze, the palace maids' hands were shaking as they used towels to wrap Love's long hair.

The only person in the room who knew nothing was so sleepy that he lay down on the dressing table.

A slender and bony hand reached out in time and supported her cheek.

The hand was very big, and when it reached out, it held up most of her face.

The steady feeling made the sleepy man feel more at ease, and he actually fell asleep in his palm.

Murong Jin took the towel from the palace maid with his other hand, leaned over, picked up the beautiful woman who was sleeping soundly, and sat her on the bed.

The palace maids had already retreated quietly.

This is even more comfortable. The beautiful girl's face is pressed against the emperor's chest, the fragrance of flowers fills her breath, and she sleeps soundly.

Murong Jin held her with one hand and gently wrapped her wet long hair with a towel in the other hand, wiping it bit by bit.

His eyes were fixed on her sleeping face: "You can fall asleep without even washing your hair, why are you so delicate?"

The sleeping beauty naturally could not respond to his accusations.

He seemed extremely dissatisfied, his expression becoming terrifying. "You still want to support someone else? You're so spoiled, who can you support? You even want to raise someone fat and plump, and you actually say this to everyone!"

He approached her with a terrifying look on his face: "If there's a next time..."

But I can’t say what will happen next time.

The hands that wiped her hair became more and more gentle.
