Chapter 62: Eye-catching
Yuan Ziyu knew that Madam Yuan had called Yuan Qilei to Shousong Hall, but he didn't know what they talked about. It was just that later both the Ning family and Ning Chunhua's family quieted down!
Yuan Ziyu also knew that since his father had not returned yet, it would be impossible to divide the family business. His mother had mentioned it last time just to scare the Ning family. Everything would have to wait until his father came back before making any plans!
The dim sum shop on Chongping Street was almost finished. Yuan Ziyu went to see how Shi Mi and the others were doing, and had an idea in mind. When he came back, he discussed the opening date with Liu and made some flowery paper.
He also ordered Qingzhi to deliver these flowery notes to Prince Kang's Mansion, Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, the He family, and the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Princess Linyang came to the Yuan family, scaring everyone in the Yuan family into a commotion, and the old lady Yuan even came out to greet her in person.
"Everyone, go away. There's no need to do this. I came here today just to talk to Sister Xunyuan." Princess Linyang waved her hand and said.
Seeing this, no one in the Yuan family dared to disobey. Madam Yuan hurriedly ordered Yuan Ziyu to entertain the princess well, and then took everyone away!
"Sister Yuan." Princess Linyang arrived at Wuyou Pavilion and said to Yuan Ziyou with a smile, "I'm not here for no reason!"
"Please speak, Princess!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
"I came here today to ask for food!" Princess Linyang said with a smile, "Do you still have the snacks you brought to the palace a few days ago?"
"Of course!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and ordered Qingzhi to go to the small kitchen, get a few plates of snacks that had just been made in the morning, and put them in a food box and brought them over.
"Hmm, it's delicious!" Princess Linyang saw the snack and smiled, pinched a piece and took a bite. "How come your snack is so delicious? Ever since I ate the snacks you brought, I feel like the snacks at home are simply inedible!"
Yuan Ziyou laughed and said, "That's not an exaggeration at all!"
"Exaggeration?" Princess Linyang's eyes widened. "I didn't get to eat many of the snacks you brought me last time. I wanted to keep them for later, but my father took them away. Now even His Majesty and the Queen Mother know about it and have asked me to find some more snacks to send to the palace. That's why I came here to find you!"
Yuan Ziyou knew that these snacks were naturally delicious because of the spring water, but she hadn't expected that they would accidentally catch the eye of the current emperor and the empress dowager. She immediately asked nervously, "Princess, is it okay to bring these foods from outside the palace into the palace?"
Princess Linyang then smiled and said, "You are still young, so you naturally don't understand these things. When food is sent from outside the palace, it depends on who sends it. Besides, there are eunuchs in the palace who test for poisons, so you don't have to worry about these things."
Hearing Princess Linyang say this, Yuan Ziyou felt relieved. He ordered Qingzhi to pack another food box with some snacks, and said with a smile, "Princess, these snacks are double portions. You can keep one for yourself."
"Sister Yuan is really thoughtful!" Princess Linyang ordered Suiyu and Suiyun to hold the food boxes, and said, "I won't say any more. While it's still early, I'll go to the palace!"
"Yes!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "I respectfully send you off, Princess!"
"Oh right!" Princess Linyang seemed to have remembered something. "Yesterday you sent someone to give me the flower note announcing the opening of your shop. I saw it was ten days from now. Have you thought of a name for your shop?"
"I've thought of it!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "I thought of calling it Xunxiangzhai."
"Xunxiangzhai!" Princess Linyang muttered softly, then smiled and said, "What a nice name!"
Then he smiled mysteriously: "Who knows, I can give you a surprise!"
Yuan Ziyu blinked and looked at Princess Linyang in confusion!
"I'm not sure yet!" Princess Linyang said with a smile, "If it can be settled, it will be a great thing for you!"
"In that case, I would like to thank the princess first!" Yuan Ziyu didn't know what Princess Linyang was talking about, but since it was Princess Linyang's kindness, she had to thank her first.
"Okay, don't thank me yet, the matter has not been finalized yet!" Princess Linyang said with a smile: "If the matter is really completed, you can treat me to a snack!"
"What's the big deal!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "If the princess wants some snacks, just send someone to get them!"
"Well, it's settled!" Princess Linyang clapped her hands and laughed! "Okay, I have to hurry back, otherwise I won't be able to enter the palace in time!"
Yuan Ziyou escorted Princess Linyang out of the gate and returned.
When Madam Yuan learned that Princess Linyang had left, she hurriedly sent someone to find Yuan Ziyu and come to Shousong Hall. Yuan Ziyu just said that Princess Linyang came to talk normally and got away with it!
Yuan Zitong, who was imprisoned in Tongxiangyuan, was so angry when she learned that Princess Linyang came to the mansion to look for Yuan Ziyu that she flew into a rage and punished several maids before she let the matter go.
Lian Qiao and Yin Qiao, who had just returned from home, didn't dare to say a word and just let Yuan Zitong do what she wanted.
During the past half month, Yuan Zitong's temper had become much worse, making the maids and servants in the yard miserable. Lian Qiao and Yin Qiao, Yuan Zitong's personal maids, were even more silent.
That day, Yuan Ziyu originally planned to go out to the shop to take a look, but Meng came.
Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "I came here today because of what Sister Liu said about the foster nanny!"
"Oh?" Liu was delighted to hear this and hurriedly asked, "Sister Meng, have you found the nanny you mentioned last time?"
"That's right!" Meng smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Madam Gu returned to the capital yesterday, so I came here to look for my sister first!"
After hearing this, Liu couldn't help but ask, "But what's wrong with that nanny?"
Yuan Ziyu also looked at Mrs. Meng. In her previous life, her governess was also someone found by Mrs. Meng, but it was not this Mrs. Gu. She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Meng had mentioned Mrs. Gu, but she only said that Mrs. Gu suddenly died on the way back to Beijing, so she found another governess for her.
And now, this Aunt Gu has returned to the capital safely!
Mrs. Meng laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that Nanny Gu is extremely talented but has a strange personality. She's only willing to teach girls who catch her eye. She also said that if she decides to teach someone, that person will support her in her old age. Unfortunately, many people have asked Nanny Gu to teach the girls in her family over the years, but Nanny Gu has always declined. So, whether Nanny Gu can teach You'er depends on Nanny Gu coming to see her in person!"
"That's strange!" Liu said in surprise!
Mrs. Meng laughed and said, "That's right, but that's just how Madam Gu is. There's nothing we can do about it!"
Liu looked at Yuan Ziyu and said, "You'er, are you willing?"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Then let's go find Aunt Gu to come to the mansion first!"
Then he turned to Mrs. Meng, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Meng!"
