Chapter 67 Good Girl
Li Zhoumu was not dazzled by the aroma of fish balls and Dongpo pork, but by the aroma of the jar of dogwood sauce, which was spicy and numbing. When added to the fish ball noodles, it was fresh and appetizing.
Yan Shiyi watched him add three spoonfuls of sauce and said admiringly:
"Other people only add half a spoonful of this stuff, and your tongue will be numb for a long time after eating it. I didn't expect Lord Li to like this."
Li Heng looked towards the southwest, his eyes revealing longing and yearning:
"I am from Sichuan, and I have often eaten Sichuan pepper and dogwood since I was a child."
But looking at the red sauce in the bowl, he exclaimed:
"Where is this dogwood from? It's much spicier than the ones in Shu."
The cook who cooked the fish balls laughed and said:
"This is not dogwood, nor is it wasabi. It is called chili pepper, which the prince brought from Chang'an."
He also added: "In the whole Yan area, only our Li Da Wuxian Restaurant has it. You can't get it anywhere else."
Li Heng was stunned for a moment. The three spoonfuls of sauce brought back his strong homesickness. He wished he could eat it three times a day.
And you told me that you can't eat it anywhere except in the border town.
I secretly vowed that I would never come to the border town again.
He looked up at Yan Shiyi, begging this 'salt bringer' with his eyes.
Yan Shiyi, who has always been blind to other people's thoughts, actually understood it this time and became even more proud. It's worth it for me to be such a smart person!
"The prince said that the restaurant doesn't have much ingredients. No matter who you are, you can't take it out. You can only eat in the restaurant."
The purpose of a restaurant is to attract people and make the border town lively. If take-out is allowed, the Yan family alone can buy it all.
Yan Shier Niang met Chen Yuniang as she wished. Although Chen Yuniang didn't hear her comments at all, Yan Shier Niang still apologized sincerely.
She held Chen Yunniang's hand to comfort her, and assured her like a female hero that she was on her side and would help her get her indenture contract back from the Zheng family.
The fear and panic that Chen Yunniang felt when she was hiding in the cellar disappeared because of Yan Shierniang's comfort, and she was left with only emotion.
How could she have deserved this? Brother Cheng risked his life to save her, the prince protected her without any disgust, the soldiers of the Black Feather Camp supported her, and the noble daughter of the Yan family helped her.
She has endured so many years of hardship and is finally coming to the fore.
Looking at Cheng Yu and Chen Yunniang holding hands and looking at each other tenderly, Yan Shier Niang walked silently to Jin Sui's side and saw the prince's gentle face and tenderness in his eyes.
Yan Twelve Niang felt her heart skip a beat, but the prince's eyes seemed as if he was recalling someone.
Yan Twelve Niang couldn't help but ask softly, "What is the prince thinking about?"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "I think there is still true love in this world. It is really touching to be able to share life and death together!"
She said it unintentionally, but the listener took it seriously.
In the past, Yan Twelve Niang was not interested in royal affairs, but in the past two days she asked her eldest brother, her second brother, and the guests in the mansion.
Finally, she found out everything about the King of Li. Apart from the case of the King of Li forcing the emperor to abdicate, she saw that the King of Li was isolated and helpless, and his closest relatives and loved ones all wanted him dead.
The fiancée who had been engaged for several years was snatched away by Prince Yu.
His maternal grandfather, whom he trusted and respected, teamed up with the Queen and Prince Yu to put him to death...
When the prince saw Cheng Yu and Chen Yunniang, did he think of him and Lin's daughter? They were childhood sweethearts and had been in love for many years, but as soon as the prince got into trouble, Lin's daughter abandoned him.
Yan Shier Niang suddenly felt annoyed with Lin, whom she had never met before, but at the same time she felt envious and a little jealous.
If she could be childhood sweethearts with the King of Li, she would never leave him no matter through fire and water.
Even if Lin's daughter treated the prince like this, the prince still thinks about her...
Yan Shier Niang couldn't bear to think about it any further, and looked at Jin Sui comfortingly and said, "I believe that the prince will also encounter such love."
Jin Sui was startled for a moment, knowing that she had misunderstood his meaning, and hurriedly said:
"Forget about it, my king. What matters most right now is to keep the soldiers alive in the border town. Love is a luxury that can only be encountered by chance."
Yan Shier Niang felt more and more distressed. Such a good King Li was exiled to the border and suffered such hardship.
Before leaving, Jin Sui did not forget his own business and gave Yan Shier Niang a copy of the Thirty-Six Stratagems:
"I have put my own seal on this unique copy. I am the only one in the world who has it. I charge one hundred taels of silver for each copy. Can you help me ask in Yanzhou City if there is anyone who wants to buy it?"
"This one is for you."
Yan Shierniang's eyes lit up, and she held the book as if it were a treasure, and asked in a low voice: "Is this the military book you sold to my eldest brother for 10,000 taels?"
Jin Sui smiled awkwardly and said, "It's your elder brother who was so generous and insisted that the book was worth the price."
I'm not trying to trick Yan Jiu. He was the one who insisted on buying out the signed version.
Previously, Yan Shiyi accused her of betraying her brother, and after hearing what Yan Twelve Niang said, it seemed a bit of a betrayal.
Yan Twelve Niang hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. I meant that you sold my brother for 10,000 taels and sold it to others for 100 taels, but you gave it to me for free."
Jin Sui nodded: "If you can introduce customers, I will give you ten taels of silver as dividends for each book!"
Yan Twelve Niang rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want any dividends. I want the prince to do me a favor. Is that okay?"
Jin Sui became alert: "It depends on what kind of favor it is."
Yan Twelve Niang smiled, a very beautiful smile, and jumped onto the horse, with her clothes fluttering.
"Your Highness, wait. I will definitely help you with Chen Yunniang's matter with all my strength."
"I will also help the prince sell this book."
Yan Shiyi, who had finished eating the fish balls, caught up with them, and the brother and sister rushed back to Yanzhou City while it was still light.
Looking at Yan Twelve Niang flying away, as swift as a meteor, Jin Sui exclaimed:
"What a good girl!"
The veins on Han Xing's temples twitched. She is only nice in front of you. In front of us, she is fierce and arrogant.
Wei Zhubo, who had been watching the prince and Yan Twelve Niang talking from afar, stepped forward with an auntie smile on his face and said meaningfully: "In Yan land, if you can marry a Yan family girl, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Jin Sui nodded as he listened: "That's right, Miss Yan is beautiful, has a good personality, is generous and not squeamish, whoever can marry her is really blessed!"
Wei Zhubo: ...
It seems that I have to make it clearer: "As the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, I am worthy of being married to the royal family. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Jin Sui gave a thumbs up: "Of course! What's good about marrying into the royal family? It's not as good as being free and easy in Yandi."
Han Xing couldn't listen any longer: "What Wei Zhubo meant is that the prince can ask to marry Miss Yan."
Jin Sui was horrified: "How can that be possible?"
When I return this account to Gu Changxiao, since he has land and food, Gu Changxiao will definitely be happy to accept it.
Giving him a fiancée, wouldn't that be cheating him? It cheated both Gu Changxiao and Yan Shierniang.
Who knows if Gu Changxiao has Bai Yueguang in his heart? He and that girl from the Lin family are talked about by people all over the world.
He hurriedly warned Wei Zhubo:
"Your idea is very dangerous! Don't scare Miss Yan. She won't dare to come to Border Town anymore."
"I can barely protect myself right now, how dare I think about getting married!"
Jin Sui brought people to send the Yan brothers and sisters away. Li Heng finished eating the delicious fish ball noodles and returned to the city by himself.
What they didn't know was that there was someone who was silently watching Li Heng's team with tears in his eyes.
