Chapter 125 Gossip
The results of the Baima Academy entrance examination are out.
As expected, the two kids were ranked as poor students.
But Chang'er and Yan'er were successfully promoted to the inner dormitory to study.
The two cubs did not feel sad about being counted down. Instead, they acted like two loud speakers, spreading the word for their two older brothers all over the alley.
Shen Zhou was very happy and invited Cheng Shuyi and her two children to her home for dinner.
Lin Yu was a step slower and also sent an invitation.
Cheng Shuyi was in a dilemma.
After the three women discussed it, they decided to go directly to Shengjing to celebrate.
You now have to reserve a table to eat at Shengjing Yiwei.
It is more comfortable to eat in winter than in summer.
Especially on the second floor, all doors and windows can be opened.
Standing in front of the window, you can see the street scenes on both sides of the moat and half of Shengjing City.
"This time it's all thanks to my sister. I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." Shen Zhou sat down and said with a smile.
"Me too."
Lin Yu's straightforward voice echoed: "I haven't eaten it since my sister got sick."
"Every time I come here, the table is booked until three days later. Even if I have money, I can't get a table."
In Shengjing City, there are many officials and even more rich people.
There is only one Shengjing Yiwei restaurant, and it is difficult to queue up.
While the two were talking, the charcoal stove came up.
The soup base and dishes also came up one after another.
After seeing these dishes, the two of them finally understood why it was so difficult to make a reservation at Shengjing Yiwei.
In this winter when food is scarce, Shengjing Yiwei still manages to provide rich and hearty dishes. Who wouldn’t want to come and eat?
"We have seafood, meatballs, meat, fresh vegetables, and even fruit!"
The bottom of the pot slowly boiled, and the rich aroma of the base material rushed into Lin Yu's nose, making her mouth water.
She pointed to the ceramic stove next to the pot on the table and asked, "Sister, why is this stove on the table?"
There is a stove burning under the hot pot to simmer the food.
But why is this stove placed on the table with a piece of wire mesh on top?
"This is a barbecue grill."
Cheng Shuyi explained, "We added this new way of eating when the shop reopened. Now you can barbecue and eat hot pot at the same time."
The coldness in the north was beyond Cheng Shuyi's imagination.
It’s okay if there is a fire dragon indoors, but I really can’t stand it once I go out.
It's so cold that I just want to warm myself by the fire.
That's why Cheng Shuyi wanted to add a table stove in Shengjing, which could be used for both warming fire and grilling meat.
It can also increase income.
"You can even barbecue." Shen Zhou sighed and smiled, "It's great to be able to go out..."
"What's wrong with Sister Zhou? You're so emotional."
Cheng Shuyi has already started grilling the meat, and the two kids are already holding lettuce leaves, waiting to eat.
"Master Shen won't let you go out?"
Shen Zhou blushed.
Thinking that Cheng Shuyi was not a stranger, she gave her menstrual pads last time.
Chang'er and Yan'er have been classmates for more than two years, and they and Lin Yu are no strangers.
Shen Zhoushi did not hide it from the two of them and whispered a private woman's talk: "My husband wants to give Chang'er a younger brother. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out whenever I want in the future."
"What! Is Sister Zhou pregnant?" Lin Yu exclaimed in a low voice.
Cheng Shuyi was also a little surprised when he heard this.
But she soon returned to normal.
"No, I'm just planning it." Shen Zhou said softly, "I'm still recuperating recently."
"Sister Zhou, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Cheng Shuyi asked.
Thinking of how Shen Zhou looked the last time she had her period, she felt something was wrong.
But Shen Zhou was too conservative and shy, so she didn't dare to ask too deeply.
Shen Zhou frowned slightly, with a hint of worry and uncertainty in her eyes. "It's not a big problem. The doctor said to try to recuperate first."
Cheng Shuyi felt that Shen Zhoushi had not finished speaking.
Just as she was about to continue asking, she heard the guests in the next private room talking about what happened in Changyang Marquis Mansion six years ago.
Cheng Shuyi's heart tightened.
Some people also talked about the only daughter of the Marquis of Changyang, who had the same name as her, and speculated that she was the only daughter of the Marquis of Changyang.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu also heard these words.
The two looked at each other and then looked at Cheng Shuyi.
The only daughter of the Marquis of Changyang is someone that the daughters of merchants and escort agencies cannot approach.
What's more, six and a half years ago, Cheng Shuyi was still unmarried.
They had no chance to see what the only daughter of the Marquis of Changyang looked like.
This is also the reason why no one recognized Cheng Shuyi as the only daughter of the Marquis of Changyang even though she had appeared in Shengjing City with her child for so long.
Cheng Shuyi looked calm and didn't seem to be affected at all.
I was just wondering: How could something that no one cared about six years ago suddenly be dug up?
The discussion in the private room next door was getting louder and louder.
Some people even slammed their desks and spoke fiercely—
"Did the Cheng family's daughter really cause the entire Changyang Marquisate to be executed because she seduced the Prince Regent?"
Everyone recalled.
Six years ago, the entire Changyang Marquis family was executed and Cheng Shuyi was exiled.
It was indeed the work of Regent Pei Yanli.
"I heard that the two children in her family are not the Regent's children!"
"Oh, such an unchaste woman is worthy of living in Shengjing? She deserves to be drowned!"
"That's not right. If those two children are not the Regent's children, why would His Majesty recognize them?"
"That must have been tricked by the Cheng family girl. The Cheng family girl is really good at tricking people!"
"Look at these shops. How could she have kept them running without the Prince Regent's support?"
The sound of clinking glasses came from the next room.
Although they were gossiping about Cheng Shuyi, it did not prevent them from eating to their heart's content.
Cheng Shuyi reacted slightly after hearing these words.
She glanced at her two cubs.
fortunately.
They were all immersed in eating meat and didn't pay attention to the gossip next door.
But judging from the expressions of Shen Zhoushi, Lin Yushi, Chang'er and Yan'er, they should have heard it.
Lin Yanzhi suddenly took out a string of copper coins and said to Qiqixu, "As expected, there's a place selling candied haws downstairs. Let's go buy some!"
Shen Huaichang also reacted immediately, "Yes, yes, buy candied haws!"
Candied haws were the most popular snack in ancient times.
The two cubs are almost at the age of changing teeth, and Cheng Shuyi hasn't bought them snacks recently.
So when they heard that there were candied haws to eat, the two kids immediately got up and ran downstairs.
They were afraid that Cheng Shuyi would not let them eat.
There were only three women left in the small room.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu looked at each other and saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.
"Sister..." Shen Zhou held Cheng Shuyi's hand and whispered, "Don't listen to their nonsense."
Cheng Shuyi shrugged, forced a smile, and looked nonchalant.
"It's okay, sisters don't have to worry about me."
Using women's moral code to kidnap women is only effective on women in ancient times.
Cheng Shuyi doesn't buy it.
She believes that good women get fame, while bad women get everything.
When she is angry, she will vent it; when she has money, she will spend it. Instead of trying to please others and getting sick, it is better to attack others to vent her anger!
Cheng Shuyi was just about to get up and go next door to see some familiar faces.
When I turn around and take revenge on everyone.
From next door came the sound of dishes colliding and falling to the ground, as well as Pei Yanli's cold voice.
"Gentlemen, you are in such a good mood! You even dare to spread gossip about me."
