Chapter 365: Reminiscence

Sun Yijun was stumped by the question and couldn't answer for a while.

Yu Lan looked at her with amusement, and Jiang Shu also stared at her with interest.

Sun Yijun rolled her eyes and said cunningly: "If it was a daughter, I would join hands with her and piss off her father together."

"Pfft..." Jiang Shu and Yu Lan couldn't help laughing.

They had no doubt that Sun Yijun could do it.

The three of them laughed and chatted, and the morning passed leisurely.

Just before lunch, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu came back together.

Yu Yuan, who arrived earlier than them, looked at the two and asked in surprise: "Brother Zheng and brother-in-law, are you working together?"

"Yeah." Yu Zheng answered casually and took Yu Ziyou from Jiang Shu.

Zhou Boxu sat next to Yu Lan and asked in a low voice if she felt uncomfortable or tired after sitting for a whole morning.

Seeing this, Sun Yijun glared at Yu Yuan and said, "Look how much he cares for the Madam, and think about you."

"What's wrong with me? I asked about you, too." Yu Yuan argued.

Sun Yijun snorted.

He did ask about her, asking her if she couldn't sit still and got up to walk around, asking her if she was careful.

What kind of questioning? It was more like questioning.

The more Sun Yijun thought about it, the angrier she got, and she raised her foot and stepped on Yu Yuan.

Princess Rong said that anger should not be held in, and must be released in time. As for Yu Yuan, he was a grown man, so a kick and a few hits would not be a big deal.

Sun Yijun felt that Princess Rong was right, and stretched out her hand to pinch Yu Yuan's arm.

Yu Yuan screamed from being pinched, causing Yu Ziyu to stare at him curiously with his dark eyes.

Yu Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and lowered his voice and said, "Ziyou is here, don't scare him."

Although Yu Ziyou couldn't understand or hear anything, Yu Yuan still felt embarrassed.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were talking to each other and didn't pay attention to them.

Sun Yijun turned her head and saw that Yu Ziyou was looking at them in surprise, and she thought the little guy was very interesting.

When the sun was high in the sky, the servant came to report that lunch was ready.

Yu Zheng handed Yu Ziyou to the wet nurse, and the group went to the flower hall in the front yard to eat.

"Mushroom soup with white jade pills." Sun Yijun was delighted when she saw it at a glance.

Yu Yuan said, "You eat it every few days, aren't you full?"

Sun Yijun glanced at him and said, "You run a restaurant, can't you tell the difference between the cooking skills of the chefs at home and the chefs in the palace?"

This... well, there is a little difference, but he doesn't think there is much difference.

"Here, try it." Jiang Shu served a bowl and put it in front of Sun Yijun.

Sun Yijun sniffed it first, then picked up the porcelain spoon, scooped up a meatball, blew on it, and tasted it carefully.

"Well, this is the taste, the chefs in the palace still taste good."

After swallowing one, Sun Yijun's appetite was aroused, and she was smiling from ear to ear.

"Sister, try it too." Yu Zheng served a bowl to Yu Lan.

Yu Lan took a sip and her eyes lit up.

I've eaten it before when I came to the palace. I just thought it was delicious, but I didn't like it very much. Today, I ate it again and felt that it was very refreshing. After eating one bite, I wanted another.

Not only are the meatballs delicious, but the soup is also very delicious.

Seeing that Yu Lan liked it, Zhou Boxu said, "Can you give me a copy of this recipe?"

Yu Zheng said, "The princess's palace is close. If my sister wants to eat it in the future, send someone to inform her and ask the chef in the palace to make it and send it over."

It's not that he won't give it to her, but the same recipe, different chefs make different tastes, such as the chef in Prince Rong's palace.

Sun Yijun had a deep understanding of this, and swallowed the meatballs in her mouth and said, "When you send it to the imperial sister in the future, please send me a bowl as well. No, two bowls."

Jiang Shu frowned and said, "It only takes a cup of tea to go from the palace to the princess's palace. But it will take at least half an hour to get to the Rong Palace. I'm afraid it will be cold by the time it's delivered."

"It doesn't matter, I'll heat it up before eating." Sun Yijun followed suit.

Jiang Shu: "..." Okay!

Pregnancy is prone to fatigue.

Not long after sitting after the meal, Zhou Boxu helped Yu Lan get up and said goodbye, and returned to the princess's palace. Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun also returned to the Rong Palace.

As for Jiang Shu, after resting for the last half day, he continued to patrol the shops and do business the next day.

It was winter, and the business of the Yi Manor was particularly prosperous.

When Jiang Shu was inspecting the shop in the silk manor in the south city that day, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures in the shop.

"Changhuai, Yueyao." Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise.

Aren't they far away in Qi County? When did they return to the capital?

Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao, who were selecting silk materials, looked sideways when they heard the voice, and were surprised and happy to see Jiang Shu.

The two wanted to greet Jiang Shu, but seeing that she was wearing men's clothes and thinking about her identity, they didn't know how to address her for a moment.

Jiang Shu smiled and said softly: "Can you come upstairs with me when you are free?"

There were too many guests on the first floor, it was crowded and noisy, and it was not a place to reminisce and talk.

Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao nodded, stepped out of the crowd and followed Jiang Shu to the second floor.

The second floor also has brocade, and the quality is much better than the first floor, which is specially for the nobles.

At this time, the waiter was leading several ladies to choose, and the embroiderer was measuring them.

Jiang Shu avoided them and took Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao into the reception room.

After serving tea, the waiter left and closed the door. Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao immediately saluted: "Meet the princess."

Jiang Shu helped them up and asked curiously: "Why did you return to Beijing?"

Shen Changhuai said: "The Ministry of Personnel promoted me to the Ministry of Revenue."

Jiang Shu heard this and congratulated him in a light tone.

Shen Changhuai is a bastard, and he has no share in the Marquis's family business. If he wants to make a name for himself, he can only rely on himself.

It is true that the Marquis's family has no family business, only an empty shell name. But for ordinary people, it is also out of reach.

Shen Changhuai thanked him, and Jiang Shu asked them when they returned to Shangjing.

Wang Yueyao said, "The first of this month."

Thinking of the two of them just choosing silk fabrics downstairs, Jiang Shu asked, "But you didn't bring winter clothes?"

Wang Yueyao shook her head and said embarrassedly, "When my husband was away, he had a low official position, and he wore simple clothes without much care. Now that we're back in the capital, and my husband has been promoted, we have to save some face."

Jiang Shu suddenly realized and said generously, "I'll pick a few pieces on the second floor later. It'll be my promotion gift to Changhuai, and also a welcome gift for you two."

The brocade silk on the second floor was something that Shen Changhuai could not afford with his meager salary.

Therefore, Shen Changhuai did not dare to accept it, and hurriedly refused, saying, "No, it's too expensive. The princess has nothing to do with us, it's really inappropriate."

If it were in the past, Jiang Shu was their eldest sister-in-law, and sending a few pieces of brocade as a promotion gift would be understandable, but now... there is absolutely no reason.

Wang Yueyao also refused repeatedly, feeling ashamed to accept it.

They were already very happy and satisfied to see Jiang Shu.

Knowing that the two of them were thin-skinned, Jiang Shu pretended to be unhappy and said, "Since you keep saying that you have nothing to do with me, then we will be strangers in the future and we will not recognize each other when we meet."

Now that they have returned to Shangjing, they will inevitably meet Jiang Shu at banquets in various places in the future. Wang Yueyao was reluctant to pretend that she didn't know him.

She was originally the daughter of a minor official, and she didn't know many people in the capital. After leaving the capital for many years, their friendship became weaker and weaker. Only Jiang Shu, because they had been together for a few months, they got along very well, and Wang Yueyao liked her very much.

"What do you think? Will you accept this gift?" Jiang Shu glanced at the two of them while holding a teacup.
