Chapter 422: One thing conquers another
Anyone who comes to Kyoto for the first time will be shocked by its prosperity.
Everything you see is new and beautiful, it is really dazzling.
Su's mother gave the task of taking her uncle and others to visit Kyoto to Su Wan and Su Mu.
The three of them are the ones who are relatively loose in the family. The rest of the brothers either have official duties to attend to or have a lot of social engagements and business to take care of.
Less than two days later, Jiang Yu's grandfather also arrived in Kyoto.
His grandson was getting married, so he had to come to Kyoto despite his old age to see the two children get married. Only then would his life be complete.
Jiang Yu had known that he was coming, so he brought people to greet him at the city gate in advance.
My grandfather was exhausted from the long journey, so Jiang Yu took him directly to the Duke's Mansion.
The wedding will be held at the Duke's Mansion, and it's only a little over half a month away now.
My grandfather had heard about what Duke Jiang had done. In view of the great sacrifices he had made for the children, he reluctantly agreed to live under the same roof with him.
Because of his daughter's affairs, he has been unwilling to acknowledge him as a son-in-law.
For so many years, there has been no contact between the two sides. If Jiang Yu had not been getting married this time, he would probably never see him again in his life.
When Duke Jiang heard that his father-in-law was coming, he was actually a little nervous. Although he was old, the pressure from Mount Tai was still great.
Because he already felt guilty towards Xinrou and Jiang Yu, he simply had no face to face his father-in-law.
My grandfather made it clear before he came. He said that if he wanted to live in the Duke's Mansion, he hoped that woman would not appear in front of him. He was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and do something bad.
If it wasn't for Ning Wei, who used some trickery to get pregnant, showed off in front of Xinrou, and tried every way to irritate her, how could Xinrou damage her liver due to extreme joy and sorrow, causing irreversible consequences?
Therefore, Ning Wei must never appear in front of him. If he sees her, he will not be able to help but start a killing spree.
He didn't want to do anything unlucky on Jiang Yu's lucky day.
Therefore, before he arrived, Duke Jiang ordered Ning Wei to stay in her own yard and not to wander around.
Ning Wei also heard that Jiang Zhen had arrived and was so scared that she didn't dare to leave the yard.
I still remember that year when Jiang Xinrou passed away. Jiang Zhen came from Zhongzhou, full of murderous intent. It rained heavily that night. She and Jiang Yan, who was just two years old, almost died under his knife.
If the old lady hadn't stopped her, she would have been dead.
Therefore, the shadow she had on Jiang Zhen was very huge, and she still broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about it now.
Jiang Yan was not that scared, and Jiang Zhen did not have much resentment towards the child. Everything was Jiang Xinrou's fault, and the innocent child should not be harmed. As long as he did not make trouble in front of him, he could tolerate it.
Jiang Yu and Duke Jiang went to pick up Jiang Zhen. When they saw him for the first time, Jiang Zhen called out respectfully:
"Father-in-law."
"Hmph!" Jiang Zhen snorted coldly when he saw him, with a stern face.
Compared with the previous tense situation, this attitude is considered to be a better one.
In the Duke's Mansion, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very serious. No one from the three of them spoke, and Jiang Yu didn't know what to say to ease the mood.
Everyone ate quietly, and finally Jiang Zhen spoke first:
"Ayu, I haven't seen Miss Su for a long time. When can you bring her to see me?"
At this time of year in previous years, Su Wan would go to Fengyue Villa to see the old man and also take the opportunity to escape the summer heat in the mountains.
"I'll find time to pick her up, but she's been a bit busy lately. There are guests to entertain at home, and my sister-in-law is pregnant, so she has to manage the household. In two days, she has to attend Concubine Chen's birthday banquet. If you want to see her, you'll probably have to wait a few days."
"Oh, it's okay. Let her finish her work first. There's no rush." Jiang Zhen nodded with a smile.
When it came to Su Wan, a smile appeared on his face.
The meal ended peacefully. Duke Jiang remained silent throughout the entire meal. In front of Jiang Zhen, he completely lost his usual dignity.
The saying "everything conquers everything" is just like this.
Hearing that the old sect leader had arrived, Jiang Yunhe moved out of the Su family overnight and went to the Duke's Mansion to accompany his master to relieve his boredom.
Su Chen is so busy that he is nowhere to be seen every day. He can only play with his father every day in the Su Mansion.
Nowadays, Su's father is proficient in fishing, chess, tea tasting, and gardening.
Father Su was also enjoying it. He was a common man who knew nothing and had nothing in common with the gentlemen in Kyoto. It was always embarrassing when there were guests at home. Now, he was happy as he had learned from Master Jiang.
Mother Su looked at the changes in Father Su and couldn't say what she felt. Every time she saw him drinking tea with such elegance, she looked more like a country bumpkin.
…
The day before Concubine Chen's birthday, Su Yun asked Su Wan to accompany him to the palace to make preparations in advance. He brought his team and the female dessert chef with him.
He had never been to the palace before, and was afraid that he would not know the rules and break the rules, so he asked Su Wan to accompany him so that he could feel more at ease.
That afternoon, Jiang Yu made an appointment with Su Wan to have dinner together at Chenglou. The two walked into Chenglou side by side, but there was no sign of Su Yun.
Otherwise, he usually stands at the counter and counts on the abacus.
The guy said he was learning how to make desserts with Chef Yue in the kitchen.
Su Yun still lacks experience in desserts and pastries. Now that there is a ready-made master, he follows the principle of learning throughout his life and learns to make desserts.
Su Wan was curious about the true identity of Master Yue, and this surname was very rare. She heard that she was a seventeen-year-old girl with a miserable life experience, so she wanted to go and take a look.
Holding Jiang Yu's hand, the two appeared at the door of the back kitchen. Everyone was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of various foods wafted in the air, making people salivate.
After looking around, I found Fourth Brother in a remote corner.
He was wearing a white apron and his hair was tied up with a white cloth cap. There was a woman next to him who was only as tall as his shoulders.
Looking at her back, she has a slender figure, and the apron straps are tied into a beautiful bow around her waist, making her waist look slender.
"Tsk, that's not the case. I've told you several times to use warm water first, then add sugar water. Why can't you remember?" The woman suddenly spoke in a serious tone, as if she was disappointed in him.
"You clearly only said it once, okay? How come it's several times?" Su Yun retorted unconvinced.
"More than once!"
“Just once!”
"I am the master and you are the master?"
"Am I the boss or are you? How can you talk to the boss like that?" Su Yun went on strike, then put his hands on his hips, his nostrils widened.
The two of them suddenly started arguing, neither of them giving in.
"But as long as I am your master and you are my apprentice, you must listen to me."
