Chapter 108 Wen Jing enters the palace and is urged to get married by the Queen!



Early the next morning, Murong Shu went to the kitchen to teach the cooks how to make seafood porridge. This time they brought back more seafood, so the seafood porridge was also very rich.

"Grandma, please try it. These are made with the seafood that Shu'er and Second Uncle brought back. See if you like the taste." Murong Shu first served a bowl of seafood porridge to Old Madam Mu and looked at his grandmother with anticipation.

"You are really my little darling. I will try it now. This seafood porridge looks delicious." When Mrs. Mu heard that her granddaughter brought it back, she thought it must be delicious.

Everyone couldn't wait any longer. After Madam Mu tasted it, everyone picked up their bowls and started drinking the seafood porridge. They were all amazed. They didn't expect that these seafood could be used to make porridge, and the taste was surprisingly good. Then everyone stopped talking and lowered their heads to drink the porridge.

After breakfast, Mousse could no longer find an excuse to be lazy, so he had to follow his elder brother to the court. Before leaving, Murong Shu stopped him and said, "Uncle, wait a moment. Take this basket of shrimps to the Queen Mother for her to taste, and also give her instructions on how to eat them."

"Don't worry, Shu'er, your second uncle will definitely bring it to you. The Queen will surely like such delicious seafood." Mousse was very enthusiastic about what Murong Shu asked. Since Shu'er said it was for the Queen, then he must bring it.

As a result, when Mousse went to deliver the shrimps, she met Wen Jing. The Wen family also sent a basket to the Queen. After delivering the shrimps, Mousse hurried to court. Wen Jing had no official position and had not been to the palace for a long time, so the Queen kept him for lunch.

"Third brother, you haven't come to see me for a long time. The last time I came to the palace was when my child was born." Wen Qing knew that her third brother didn't like to go out, and she didn't blame him. She herself couldn't leave the palace often, so naturally she hoped that Wen Jing could come to see her more often.

"Third brother came to the palace to see you as soon as he came back." Wen Jing smiled and comforted Queen Wen Qing. It was not that he didn't like to come, but he really didn't like the rules of the palace.

"Did Third Brother have fun hanging out with Miss Mu this time?" The Queen actually wanted to gossip about how far the relationship between Wen Jing and Murong Shu had progressed.

"I was very happy. I experienced different customs and practices, ate seafood I had never eaten before, and made new friends." What made Wen Jing happiest was that Murong Shu agreed to spend the rest of his life with him.

"How is the relationship between third brother and Miss Mu? When can I have a third sister-in-law?" Wen Qing asked Wen Jing tentatively. It was the wish of the whole family that third brother could get married, so she was very curious about how far the relationship between third brother and Miss Mu had progressed.

"Just wait patiently, this day will come soon." There was a confident light in Wen Jing's eyes when he said this. Wen Qing knew that this matter was most likely successful.

"Then third brother, you have to work harder!" Wen Qing winked at Wen Jing playfully.

"Third brother will work hard to make sure you can call him third sister-in-law as soon as possible." Wen Jing handed the peeled melon seeds to his sister. They have always had such a tacit understanding with each other since they were young.

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a while, so they chatted together all morning. It was not until the head palace maid came to inform them that lunch was ready in the imperial kitchen that they got up to wash their hands and have lunch.

After lunch, the little prince woke up. Wen Jing liked little Tuanzi very much, so he did not leave the palace in the afternoon. He stayed in his sister's palace to help take care of little Tuanzi and wait for his father and brother to come home together.

Let’s talk about Murong Shu.

After breakfast, he went to Rong's restaurant with Rong Yunnan and Rong Qing and took the seafood. He taught the restaurant staff how to properly handle the seafood and also taught the chefs how to cook the seafood.

No one took it seriously at first, but when one delicious dish after another was prepared, the chefs realized what kind of opportunity they had been given.

Murong Shu, Master Rong and Rong Yunnan renegotiated the restaurant's menu and pricing, selling a fixed amount each day first, seeing the customers' feedback, and then readjusting the dishes.

Murong Shu and his companions had lunch in the restaurant. It was the first time for Master Rong and Rong Qing to eat seafood and they praised it highly. Before the business officially started, Master Rong had already thought about how to expand the store.

In the afternoon, Murong Shu sent someone to deliver two baskets of dried prawns to the Liu Mansion (Liu Ruyan) and the Song Mansion, the tenant's house. He also sent someone to bring a letter to tell them that he was back and asked them to go to the General's Mansion tomorrow.

Liu Ruyan has been very busy preparing for her wedding recently, and Song Yanran would go to accompany her when she had nothing to do. After hearing the news that Murong Shu had returned, the two of them agreed to go to the general's mansion together tomorrow.

If Liu Ruyan went somewhere else in her current situation, Madam Liu would not agree. However, since Murong Shu invited her, Madam Liu was eager for her daughter to get along well with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, so she agreed directly.

Early the next morning, Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran came to the door. This time, they each brought a cook as Murong Shu requested.

"Shu'er, I have brought all the people you wanted. Do you need their help?" Liu Ruyan thought that Murong Shu needed their help.

"Yes, Shu'er. When grandmother heard that it was you who wanted it, she sent the best chef in the mansion directly. Shu'er, just tell them if there is anything you need them to do."

Old Madam Song loved her granddaughter Murong Shu very much, so when she heard her granddaughter say that she needed a cook, she sent the best cook without saying a word.

"I asked them to come here to teach them how to cook seafood, so that you can eat delicious dishes in the mansion in the future. Isn't it convenient?" Murong Shu explained to the two with a smile.

"Shu'er, how can you be so kind? We are so touched!" Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran were very moved. It was really a blessing to have such a sister.

"We are all family, why be so polite!" Murong Shu's words made Liu Ruyan's face turn red quickly. Murong Shu suddenly remembered that he forgot to send some dried prawns to Madam Han and Han Xu.

"Cousin, I'm quite busy recently. Could you please give some big shrimps to Madam Han on your way back and tell her how to cook them?"

"Don't worry, Shu'er. Your cousin will definitely send it to you. It just so happens that I haven't visited Madam Han for a long time." Song Yanran pulled Murong Shu's arm and promised with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, cousin. By the way, tell Madam Han that scholars should eat this to nourish their brains." Murong Shu said mischievously.

"Ah, this is good for the brain. Let my second brother eat more when we get home, so that daddy won't always say he's stupid." Song Yanran was very surprised and decided to let her second brother eat more when she got home, and then ask Murong Shu to buy more when he finished eating.

For lunch, Murong Shu taught the chef many ways to cook seafood. As a result, the Mu family's lunch was a seafood feast. It was the first time for Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran to eat it. They wanted to eat the whole plate. What a delicacy! If it weren't for Shu'er, how could they have eaten it?

Not long after lunch, Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran said goodbye. One was busy preparing for her wedding, and the other was asked by her cousin to deliver something to Zhuangyuan Lane.
