Su Yujiao laughed heartily: "Of course, cream cake is a blessing for dessert lovers."
At this point, Su Yujiao suddenly remembered Eunuch Wei. She had heard that Eunuch Wei was a food lover, especially fond of sweets.
Eunuch Wei has helped her openly and secretly several times, and has also hinted that he wants to try her cooking.
She promised, but never kept her word.
It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that we haven't had the chance to meet.
She rarely entered the palace, and Eunuch Wei rarely left the palace except to deliver messages and read out imperial edicts.
Although he had his own residence outside the palace, he did not live there often.
Hmm, I'll find a chance to cook something delicious and send it to Eunuch Wei.
Based on his sarcastic remarks about Old Zhu last time, he deserves to taste all the delicacies in the world.
As the two were talking, Lu Ziqian and Su Qingyu entered the courtyard together.
Su Yujiao rolled her eyes, knowing that this guy would definitely come.
Come on, he's been a great help these past few days.
Su Qingyu's appearance, however, surprised her.
However, she was quite welcoming of him, as he was a wealthy merchant from Yangzhou. After befriending him, she would never have to worry about making money in the future.
"This humble subject greets the County Head."
Su Qingyu was about to kneel down when she stopped him, saying, "Young Master Su, there's no need for such formalities."
"Today is a family dinner, so there won't be many formalities."
"Stop calling yourself a commoner all the time, it sounds really awkward."
Su Qingyu smiled modestly, without explaining his purpose, though he had come specifically to express his gratitude.
He originally wanted to thank Lu Ziqian, but Lu Ziqian dared not take credit this time and clearly told him that the real person who saved him was someone else.
Therefore, he insisted on coming over to express his gratitude before leaving.
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Yujiao didn't miss the opportunity and went inside to get a bar of soap and some regular soap.
"Young Master Su, take a look at this."
What is this?
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Tiger, tell them to wash their hands. They're not allowed to eat if they don't."
"Okay."
So, in front of Su Qingyu, Hu Zi and Shi Tou washed their dark paws until they were white and tender, with only a faint fragrance.
When Su Qingyu saw the cleaning effect of the soap, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but wash his hands as well.
"Princess, is this soapberry?"
"Besides washing hands and face, can I wash clothes and socks?"
Su Yujiao pointed to the larger, pale yellow, transparent soap next to her: "This one is for laundry."
"Xiao Tao, bring me the rag for wiping the stove, the dirtiest one, the one with the most grease."
"yes."
Su Qingyu personally washed the greasy, yellowish tablecloth a few times, and it became as white as new.
"The cleaning effect is simply amazing."
"Princess, this is a fine product."
Su Yujiao smiled and asked, "Does Young Master Su think this thing would sell?"
Su Qingyu was taken aback. Did the county princess want to do business with him?
Seeing the other person's surprised look, Su Yujiao nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's exactly what you think."
"I wonder if Young Master Su would like to cooperate with this county princess?"
"I'll handle manufacturing, you handle sales!!"
Su Qingyu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His family had suffered such a misfortune, and he had almost ruined the family business.
He was still thinking about how to make a comeback when this incredible wealth was delivered right to his doorstep.
“I am more than willing. It is my good fortune that the county magistrate is willing to cooperate with me.”
"What good fortune?" A curious voice rang out from the doorway.
Everyone looked over at the sound and exclaimed, "Wow, the little courtyard is truly splendid today! The Crown Prince and Princess have both arrived, and Gu Heng is following behind them!"
The two little princesses curiously stepped forward and sweetly greeted, "Cousin, cousin, hello cousin's wife."
Looking at the two little princesses' tender faces, bright and clear eyes, and innocent smiles, Su Yujiao couldn't help but feel happy.
The two little princesses are twins, born to the Empress, and are the legitimate princesses who are eight or nine years old.
She was far more noble than Chu Qinghe, but she was not difficult, willful, arrogant, selfish, or vicious.
They were both daughters of the emperor, but their personalities were very different.
"Greetings, Your Highness and the two princesses." Su Yujiao nodded slightly.
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be so polite."
"I heard that my cousin-in-law is hosting a family banquet today, so I brought my two younger sisters uninvited. On the way, we ran into Minister Gu. I hope my cousin-in-law will not take offense."
"How could that be? It's more lively with more people," Su Yujiao replied with a smile.
As for them calling her "cousin-in-law" all the time, she couldn't be bothered to correct them. It wouldn't make a difference anyway; they'd just gotten used to it.
"Xiao Tao, Ying Zi, quickly go and get a chair for the Crown Prince and Princess."
"Brother Gu, please have a seat too."
The two little princesses stepped forward and affectionately linked arms with Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei, skipping and jumping around happily.
"Sister-in-law, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Prettier than my cousin."
Lu Ziwei protested, "Am I not pretty?"
"My cousin is pretty too, but compared to my cousin's wife, she's just a little bit less attractive, only a little bit less."
Lu Ziwei rolled her eyes: "Whose good princess is she, always speaking the truth?"
The two little princesses giggled, and Su Yujiao laughed along with them.
Seeing that the two girls were almost as tall as her, she laughed and said, "The two little princesses are almost as tall as me now."
"Hehe, we're not little anymore, we'll be of marriageable age next year."
"The Empress Dowager said that next year's coming-of-age banquet will be very grand, after all, it's a coming-of-age banquet for the two of us together."
"My cousin-in-law must come to attend!"
Su Yujiao was smiling when her expression suddenly froze.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Su Yujiao's expression softened, and she gently shook her head: "It's nothing."
"My cousin's wife made a big cake today. She asked your cousin to take you to see it."
"I'll go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready."
Lu Ziwei took the two princesses to see the cake, while Su Yujiao went into the kitchen.
Gu Heng followed beside the Crown Prince, his gaze occasionally falling on Su Yujiao.
Since her divorce, he has expressed his feelings to her more than once, but she has rejected him each time.
So much so that later on, he no longer had a good reason to approach her.
After all, it's not right for a grown man to keep going to a single woman's house.
He happened to be at the East Palace today and learned that the Crown Prince and the Princess were coming to her place, so he shamelessly followed along.
Wow, it's so clean!
"Sister-in-law, do you still have this soap? I want some too."
Su Yujiao came out of the kitchen, followed by Granny Wang carrying a soup pot.
"Yes, I'll give each of you a few coins later."
"Hehe, my cousin-in-law is so nice."
"Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner is ready."
Two tables were set up in the courtyard: one for Xiao Tao and the children, and the other for the adults.
After all, the Crown Prince and Princess are people of noble status, and it would make everyone uncomfortable to have Hu Zi and the others sit together.
Everyone enjoyed their meal and praised Su Yujiao's cooking skills. The two little princesses didn't want to leave, especially after eating so much.
