After calming herself down, Yun Zhourong smiled and said, "In that case, let's go. My parents will definitely be very happy to know that my godfather and godmother are coming to eat!"
"Then I'll take my leave."
The couple thanked them repeatedly, and then asked the people in the house to take the prepared dinner with them, saying, "This trip was too sudden. I'm afraid your family didn't prepare enough. We'll bring some of our own to add to the dishes."
"Alright."
Yun Zhourong couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of the couple's ideas.
Sure enough, when the prefect and his wife arrived, the family members came out to greet them with a mixture of nervousness and joy.
After taking her seat, Zhou Yueshan, who had been arranged to sit between the prefect and his wife, suddenly stood up and sat down next to Yun Zhourong.
Seeing that she insisted, Yun Zhourong said, "If your godmother is alright, then let my sister sit next to me."
"Alright then, it's fine, I'm right here with her." Seeing this, the prefect's wife smiled and nodded at Zhou Renjun.
"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Madam."
Hearing this, Zhou Renjun stopped insisting. However, seeing Yun Zhourong's questioning look, he patiently explained, "An'an can't pick up food by herself yet. She needs someone to help her when she eats, otherwise she will just eat plain rice."
"Oh, I see. It's alright. I'll help serve food to An'an if needed."
Yun Zhou nodded knowingly. No wonder he sat in the middle; it would be easier for the two of them to help serve Zhou Yueshan.
When dinner was served, Zhao smiled and pointed to the fried chicken, saying to Yun Zhourong, "I made this fried chicken according to your recipe. Try it."
"Okay, this looks very similar. My little brother will eat it too."
Yun Zhourong picked one up for Yun Mingyuan, and then picked one up for Zhou Yueshan, saying, "An'an, try some too, it's really delicious!"
Not long ago, Yun Mingyuan celebrated his birthday, and Ji Minxiu brought him fried chicken. Two large buckets weren't enough to eat.
For the Yun family, eating this for the first time truly opened the door to a whole new world.
Although frying and stir-frying had become popular cooking methods in the Dasheng Dynasty, chicken was only roasted or boiled; no one had ever fried it like this before.
Such a unique flavor broadened everyone's horizons, leaving them wanting more.
"It's so delicious, Mom! What you made is absolutely amazing, it's exactly the same as the original." Yun Mingyuan took a bite and instantly squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
"The taste is almost identical, Mother, you are truly amazing." After tasting it, Yun Zhourong gave a thumbs up in affirmation.
After hearing this, Zhao was overjoyed and asked, "Then tell me, if I sell this fried chicken, can I make money?"
“Yes, I’m sure we can make money!” Yun Mingyuan was the first to affirm.
“I think so too,” Yun Zhourong immediately agreed.
"You're all good at saying nice things!"
Zhao was overjoyed by the flattery, and then looked at Zhou Renjun and said, "Prefect, Madam, you should also try it and help me decide."
"good."
Zhou Renjun and his wife were very curious about fried chicken wings, a novelty, and tried it out.
A moment later, Zhou Renjun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The crust is crispy, the inside is tender and juicy, and the aroma is incredibly tempting. It's absolutely delicious!"
"Yes, it's so delicious! I've never had such good chicken before!" The prefect's wife nodded in agreement.
Then, they saw Zhou Yueshan actually stand up by herself and reach into the plate to take a fried chicken wing!
"An'an, An'an actually took the food herself!"
Although she took it directly with her hands, which was quite impolite, the prefect and his wife were not embarrassed at all; on the contrary, they were overjoyed.
"Is this...is this a good sign?"
The Yun family members didn't know the inside story, but judging from the reactions of Zhou Renjun and his wife, they could roughly guess that it was a good thing.
"Yes, it's a good thing. An'an really brought us so many surprises today."
After the prefect's wife finished speaking, she took Yun Zhourong's hand and said gratefully, "Ruanruan, you are truly our family's lucky star. You must come and visit An'an more often in the future."
"sure."
Yun Zhourong readily agreed, "I plan to teach the mute slaves I brought back earlier sign language. If you feel comfortable with that, let An'an come with me. Maybe she'll get to see more people."
"Sign language?" Upon hearing this, the group all looked puzzled.
They had never even heard of this before.
Yun Zhourong then remembered that the Dasheng Dynasty did not yet have sign language, which Ji Minxiu had told him before.
In the future, the government will develop a systematic sign language book specifically for deaf and mute people who cannot speak, to facilitate their communication.
Ji Minxiu had given it to her before.
She has a photographic memory, and after studying for the past few days, she has basically finished learning everything. She plans to teach the mute slaves when she has some free time.
In this way, even though they won't be able to communicate with outsiders in the future, they can still "talk" to each other, which is also very good.
After hearing Yun Zhourong's explanation, Zhou Renjun's eyes lit up instantly. "There are such good things! This must be promoted. It's a blessing for the deaf and mute!"
“If Godfather is interested, I will send the book to you tomorrow,” Yun Zhourong said readily.
She was naturally very happy to be able to contribute to the education of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! This is wonderful! Ruanruan, I see you are not only a lucky star for my Zhou family, but also for the entire Dasheng Dynasty..."
Zhou Renjun couldn't help but sigh, but then suddenly stopped, staring at Yun Zhourong in deep thought.
Why did he feel that the phrase "the lucky star of the Great Sheng Dynasty" sound so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before?
Yes, isn't that what that wandering Taoist priest said to the current emperor back then?
However, at the time, it was referring to the emperor's eldest princess.
But he saw the current eldest princess as nothing more than a harbinger of misfortune than a lucky star!
Suddenly, he remembered what Yun Zhourong had told him earlier that day: that he was wanted because his appearance was very similar to that of the late empress!
Is it really possible for two people to look so alike to appear out of nowhere?
A suspicion arose in Zhou Renjun's mind, one that he couldn't suppress no matter what he did.
So, I couldn't help but ask, "Ruanruan, are you really your mother's biological child?"
"ah…"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Godfather, as I told you before, I am not the biological daughter of my second uncle and aunt. I was originally their niece, but because..."
"I know that. What I want to ask is, are you sure you are your biological mother's child?"
Zhou Renjun interrupted her, asking seriously, "Is there any possibility of unforeseen circumstances, or the possibility of a mix-up at birth?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Although my mother passed away early, she truly loved me very much, and my maternal grandfather treated me extremely well. I've never heard of any problems with my background."
Yun Zhourong shook his head firmly before asking, "Why do you ask that, Godfather?"
