On the third day after Su Yunyan returned to Kyoto, she recruited staff and reopened the Kyoto branch of Baiwei Restaurant.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Baiwei Restaurant is well-known and was very popular right after it opened, with the line of people waiting to eat stretching all the way down the street.
As soon as Gu Nanxi and Shuyao came down, they saw Su Yunyan rushing out to greet them: "Mother, sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me before you came? What do you want to eat? I'll ask the servant to send it back to the mansion. That's great."
Gu Nanxi waved her hand: "Your sister-in-law is bored at home, I'll take her out for a walk."
"So that's how it is. Please come in. The private room has been reserved."
Baiwei Restaurant has a different positioning in each city.
Yunzhou's Baiwei Restaurant follows the fast food route, focusing on small profits but quick turnover.
From the decoration and facade of Kyoto's Baiwei Restaurant, you can tell that they pursue high-end luxury and make money from rich people.
Shuyao walked around inside and didn't want to go to the private room, but she liked a pavilion.
There are blooming flowers in the pavilion, with a wide low couch in the middle and a small square table on the couch.
If Shuyao gets tired of sitting, she can lie there for a while.
The only downside is that the privacy is not very good and you can hear the conversations of nearby guests.
"Yunyan, this is it." Shuyao and Yunyan have been close friends since childhood, so naturally she would not be polite to her.
"OK."
The three of them were in the pavilion, eating and drinking.
Gu Nanxi ordered a plate of stinky tofu and strongly requested more juice and pickled radish cubes.
Shuyao is also a fan of stinky tofu. Even after becoming pregnant, her love for it has not changed at all.
The pavilion, which was originally full of charm, was instantly pulled down by the strong impact of stinky tofu and turned into a world of fireworks.
Shuyao took a bite of a piece of stinky tofu. The skin was crispy and the inside was soft and tender. The juice burst out in one bite.
She narrowed her eyes, and there were only two words in her mind: delicious!
The stinky tofu that Gu Nanxi ordered was a platter, one original flavor and one black flavor.
On the white porcelain plate, the stinky tofu is arranged like a chessboard.
Gu Nanxi picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, picked one up and put it in her mouth.
Just when the three of them were eating happily, they heard a familiar female voice coming from not far away.
"Mrs. Chen, don't you plan to have your eldest daughter go to the Guanyin Temple outside the city to pay homage to the goddess of fertility?"
"The incense in that temple is very effective. When my mother-in-law was pregnant with my husband, she went there to burn incense, and she gave birth to a boy. When I was pregnant with my son, I also went there to burn incense, and gave birth to a big fat boy."
Mrs. Chen was somewhat tempted.
The child in Shuyao's belly is Duke Yun's first grandchild.
If you can give birth to a boy, your status will definitely be different.
"Is the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth really as effective as you say?"
The ladies at the same table nodded in agreement, "Of course it is. If Duke Yun can go with them, it will definitely be more effective. Who is Duke Yun? She is the Son of Heaven. For her sake, the Goddess of Childbirth will surely let your daughter have a big fat boy. Who knows, she might even send the boy next to the Bodhisattva to be reincarnated as your grandson."
What to do? Crazy heartbeat.
In the pavilion, Shuyao's eating movements gradually slowed down. She was extremely greedy at first, but now she had no appetite at all.
Gu Nanxi continued to order delicious food as if nothing had happened, pretending not to hear the conversation not far away, so as not to embarrass Shuyao.
I was very happy when I came and was very happy when I was eating, but there was a little bit of unhappiness towards the end.
Gu Nanxi took Shuyao back to Yongchang Marquis Mansion and did not take today's incident to heart.
She believed that Shuyao was a good girl who knew what was going on.
Even if Shuyao did something wrong, Gu Nanxi would not blame her.
Shuyao is still young and pregnant. There are some things that I can't think of, so I will teach her slowly.
A few days later, Mrs. Chen came to visit and wanted to meet Shuyao.
She is Shuyao's nominal mother, and it is impossible for Shuyao to reject her.
Madam Chen really came to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth. "I heard that the temple is extremely effective. I know that no matter it is a boy or a girl, it is a piece of your flesh, but you also have to think about Erlang and Duke Yun. If you give birth to a big fat boy, it will be unique in the third generation."
"Wouldn't your mother-in-law look at you with a higher regard? Besides, you are young and beautiful, so men will naturally love you to the core. If you grow old and lose your looks, do you have the confidence to tie Erlang down? Your father is a good man, isn't he? Your father loves your mother, but after your mother died, didn't he still remarry?"
Madam Chen said earnestly, "I have selfish motives. I hope you can help your brother. Blood ties are the most reliable relationship. If your mother-in-law really values you and the baby in your belly, she will definitely be willing to accompany you."
Shuyao shook her head: "Okay, stop talking. What is my mother-in-law's identity? Is she an ordinary person? She is the empress, the emperor! Have you ever seen an emperor who asks the Goddess of Childbirth to worship his daughter-in-law? The Goddess of Childbirth Temple is in the suburbs. What if something happens on the way? Who can take the responsibility?"
Shuyao was upset and said in a bad tone: "Don't play with those people in the future. Who knows what they are thinking?"
The two parted unhappily, and Mrs. Chen returned to the Chen Mansion angrily: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. It is better to expect pie to fall from the sky than to expect her to support our Chen family in the future. When she encounters difficulties, she will know that the ones who can really lend a hand to rescue her are her own parents. If a man can be trusted, even a sow can climb a tree."
Shuyao was pregnant and it was difficult for her to fall asleep. After today's unpleasant experience, she didn't sleep well.
She knew that what Madam Chen said made some sense, but Madam Chen didn't know that Duke Yun really didn't care about gender.
Oh, that's so annoying.
Shuyao finally understood why Su Yunting didn't want to fight for the treasure.
She hasn't even officially become a princess yet, but she's already surrounded by people with ulterior motives.
If I become the queen in the future, who knows what will happen to the Chen family, and it might even bring me harm.
"Ji Lang, I support your choice."
"Huh?" Su Yunting was half asleep when he heard his wife suddenly say this.
Shuyao sighed repeatedly: "It's okay, go to sleep."
Wild boars cannot eat fine bran, and she cannot live a life full of intrigue.
She preferred her time overseas and felt her IQ was enough to crush the natives on the island.
The next day, Shuyao went back to Chen's house in person and had a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Chen for a long time.
The main purpose was to tell him that Erlang and himself did not intend to compete for that position. They had no ambition and just wanted to live a peaceful and prosperous life. If Duke Yun allowed it, they would return to overseas.
After hearing her words, Lord Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to be a descendant of the royal family. In history, few relatives by marriage had a good ending.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my family." (End of this chapter)
