Chapter 096 Chapter 96

The so-called Jinshi Banquet is actually a social banquet. The atmosphere is very lively and active. Yuan Ming dislikes this kind of environment the most. Instead of sitting here, he might as well go back and hug his husband and touch Snow Baby.

But at this point, many things cannot be done without wanting to.

One after another, people came to toast and congratulate, and Yuan Ming and Xu Zhiping could only cheer up.

The banquet lasted for two hours. After leaving the palace, the cold wind blew on his face, blowing away the smell of alcohol. Yuan Ming's mind was slightly sober, and he suddenly felt very hungry.

He put his hand on his abdomen and asked the driver to hurry up.

The yard that Yuan Ming bought was a little far from the palace. It took more than half an hour to sway all the way. When he got home, his face was pale.

The moon was at its zenith, and the lantern in front of the gate was emitting a warm yellow light.

Yuan Ming felt relieved. After meeting Yuan Shanxi this morning, he still felt a little uncontrollably panicked. He was not worried that he would not win against Yuan Shanxi this time, but that Ji Qingyue would suddenly disappear.

As soon as he reached the door, the door opened a crack. The next moment, Ji Qingyue ran out, leaped forward and jumped onto Yuan Ming.

"My husband is so amazing! So heroic!"

Yuan Ming's feet were unsteady, and he staggered back two steps. He hugged his gentle husband, his chest heaving violently, and quickly tightened his arms to lock him tightly in his arms.

Ji Qingyue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ming looked at him, lowered his head and kissed his lips. When the person in his arms' breathing rhythm became disordered, he suddenly raised his head again.

"I'm hungry, can you cook me a bowl of noodles?"

Ji Qingyue: "?"

Fortunately, there were some leftover fresh noodles in the kitchen. Ji Qingyue heated up a bowl of chicken soup from the evening, put the cooked noodles in, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and a bowl of delicious chicken soup noodles was ready.

Yuan Ming wanted to drink a big mouthful of soup, which made him even hungrier, and then he ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.

Ji Qingyue frowned as she looked at him: "Is the food in the palace so bad? I thought people in the palace ate the best."

Yuan Ming raised his head: "It's not bad, but no one eats seriously in such occasions, they just drink and chat."

Ji Qingyue nodded seriously: "If there is such a situation again in the future, I will remember to save food for my husband."

After a big bowl of hot soup noodles, Yuan Ming finally felt alive, and Ji Qingyue looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Look." Yuan Ming took out two imperial edicts.

Ji Qingyue took it carefully, unfolded it solemnly, gently stroked the gold-plated words on it, and whispered: "By the Will of Heaven..."

The imperial edict cannot be placed randomly, so Ji Qingyue had prepared an altar in the corner of the main hall early. After reading it, he hung it up respectfully.

He turned around and blinked at Yuan Ming: "From now on, your husband will be Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Ming raised the corner of his mouth: "You are Mr. Yang."

The two hugged each other, and their laughter spread outside the house.

Back in the officialdom, Yuan Ming was like a fish thrown into the sea. He was as careful as a hair and handled things skillfully. Just one case made the Minister of Justice notice him.

Li Qinggang called Yuan Ming to the office, and his eyes swept back and forth over him.

Yuan Ming let him look openly, not afraid at all.

After a while, Li Qinggang laughed and patted Yuan Ming on the shoulder: "Well, the Li family's case was closed so quickly, you have made an indispensable contribution. I have observed you for a few days and found that you are a good seedling. Do you want to work with me?"

This means to promote him.

Yuan Ming immediately knelt down: "Thank you, sir."

Li Qinggang said: "Don't thank me in a hurry. If you come to my side, you will still be in the same position as before. The salary will not be higher, but there will be more things to do. I hope you will consider it carefully, so as not to regret it."

Yuan Ming said without thinking: "My lord, I have learned about you carefully on the first day I came to the Ministry of Justice. I admire you very much. It is my honor to stay by your side."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Qinggang said three good words in a row, which shows that he is very satisfied with Yuan Ming.

After that, Yuan Ming stayed with Li Qinggang, mainly responsible for major criminal cases in the capital and other states across the country.

Just as Li Qinggang said, it was very busy to be with him, and often he had to work until late at night. Yuan Ming had no regrets about this, so that those who disliked him gradually changed their attitudes.

When Yuan Ming was gaining a foothold in the Ministry of Justice, Ji Qingyue was not idle either. Dali

stayed in Shifang Town, and it was not safe for Cao to live alone in the town. Now there was only one servant, Cao Ge'er, at home, and it was a bit too busy to take care of the two children, so Ji Qingyue went to the dental clinic to buy two more people.

A aunt, who specializes in cooking and cleaning, and a man in his forties, who serves as a housekeeper. Of course, there are not many people in their family who need him to take care of, and most of the time he works as a servant.

After settling the servants, Ji Qingyue finally had time to resume his business of making perfume.

Originally, he was just a small business in Shifang Town, occupying a small shelf in a store selling perfume powder. Now that he has come to the capital, Ji Qingyue wants to make a big splash.

However, the most important thing before opening a store is the formula.

In the first three months, Ji Qingyue was perfecting the perfume formulas he already had, and there were five in total.

Yuan Ming was pressed on a chair with a black cloth covering his eyes.

Listening to the sound of Ji Qingyue fiddling with the porcelain bottle, Yuan Ming's mouth twitched: "Does it have to be like this?"

Ji Qingyue said: "My husband has a very sensitive nose, help me try it first." I

must support my husband's career no matter what!

Yuan Ming nodded, ready to be overwhelmed by the fragrance.

"Let's start."

As his voice fell, Yuan Ming heard the sound of rubbing hands lightly, and the next second, Ji Qingyue's hand reached his nose, accompanied by an elegant jasmine scent.

"The first one is a floral scent, which is more suitable for unmarried women or boys, just like them, inexperienced, fresh and elegant."

Yuan Ming said: "Not bad."

"The second one is a fruity scent, mainly citrus, sweet with a hint of green."

"Very good."

"The third one..."

"Very good."

Ji Qingyue pulled off the black cloth and puffed up her cheeks: "My husband is very talented and can write well, but why is he so perfunctory when it comes to me? Are you blaming me for disturbing you and wasting your time?"

Yuan Ming shook his head quickly: "No, it's not true. The fragrances my husband mixes are all very good, and the descriptions are very suitable. It would be redundant to say more."

He paused, pulled the husband who was full of fragrance into his arms, and let him sit on his lap.

"Is my husband nervous?"

Ji Qingyue didn't say anything, lowered her head and picked her fingernails.

"That shop doesn't have much money, and the initial investment is reasonable. Business can't be done overnight. Besides, my husband has such skills, he will make a lot of money sooner or later, and I'm waiting for him to support me in the future!"

Ji Qingyue leaned her head on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "If I mess up, you are not allowed to blame me."

Yuan Ming raised four fingers: "I promise."

The next day, an inconspicuous perfume shop opened on a street in Beijing. No one knew that it would lead the trend of the whole country in a few years .

At this moment, Ji Qingyue was sitting in the store, tapping the table with his green onion-like fingers one after another, showing his inner unrest.

There were only him and Cao Ge'er in the store.

The whole morning passed, and no one came in.

Cao Ge'er couldn't help but comfort her, "What my husband makes is good, sooner or later someone will like it."

Ji Qingyue frowned, "But I don't know when."

Just then, in the dessert shop across the street, a waiter clumsily broke a bowl, and there was a loud bang, followed by the boss's scolding.

Ji Qingyue rolled his eyes, looked at the shelf, and had an idea in his mind.

After a moment, he took out a bottle of the most overbearing rose water, raised it over his head, and suddenly threw it to the ground.

Cao Ge'er was shocked by his action.

After being stunned, he quickly pulled Ji Qingyue: "Husband, calm down. Today is the first day of business. It is normal even if there are no customers. These classes are all hard work for you. If adults know, they will definitely feel sorry for you!"

Cao Ge'er said a few words in one breath, and then heard a puff.

Ji Qingyue pinched his bun and smiled: "What are you thinking? I just think that if this is done, the fragrance will spread and maybe it will attract customers."

Cao Ge'er blushed and whispered: "So that's it."

Ji Qingyue returned to the counter and continued to stare at the pedestrians outside.
