Si Sangsang took in the entire conversation between his son and daughter-in-law and couldn't help laughing.
Tsk tsk, her daughter-in-law is deliberately instigating her to find a father for her son to deliberately irritate him.
She patted the back of Feng Changye's hand and said to Zhu Wuhuan with a smile, "Why are you looking for a father? You don't have one! If Jin'er asks me in the future, I'll tell him that his father died on the battlefield a long time ago. That way, he'll be more willing to help the soldiers' families and do good deeds."
Feng Changye was happy after hearing his mother say this.
If his mother meets someone she truly loves and is willing to go against convention and be with that man, then he will bless his mother.
But he didn't want to just find a random man to live with just to find a father for Jin'er.
Who knows if this man will be worse than my father and hurt my mother more?
He held Si Sangsang's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Mother, if you meet someone you like while doing business outside the palace, then don't consider me. You can marry him outside the palace. I won't object... After all, outside the palace, you are just an ordinary Mrs. Si, not the queen dowager who is the mother of the country. You don't have to set an example for the people of the world, and you don't have to worry so much."
He added, "If you still don't have someone you like, then be free and unrestrained. Your son is the emperor, and you will never have to rely on others for a living. Just follow your heart and live freely."
Si Sangsang was very moved after hearing this.
Even in modern times, there are still many children who cannot accept that their elderly parents find a new partner. Her Long'er is so good to her.
She nodded. "Okay, I understand. Mother and Jin'er will live happily outside the palace and open shops all over Daning County. That way, none of you will have to worry about me, okay?"
Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye nodded at the same time.
As a fellow time traveler, Zhu Wuhuan wanted to know what kind of store his mother wanted to open.
She asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of business do you want to run?"
Si Sangsang said, "I wasn't a science student before I traveled through time. I don't know the recipes for making glass, nor do I know how to make cement. However, braised pork and tofu have long been available in Daning... so these can be ruled out."
She curled her lips, "I'm going to make some quick food."
Zhu Wuhuan was stunned. "Instant noodles?"
Si Sangsang nodded. "That's probably it. Canned food, instant noodles, high-calorie, long-lasting compressed biscuits... My family made these before I traveled through time, so I'm a bit of a pro at making these."
She continued.
"Instant noodles and biscuits, etc., don't have sealed bags in Daning, so the shelf life will be shorter. But if you wrap them in oil paper, they should be good for a month or two."
"People like scholars preparing for imperial examinations, merchants on the road all year round, and wealthy young men on a trip are all consumers of fast food."
"As for canned food, I can open a kiln and make porcelain jars myself. Look at these Daning wine jars, they can seal very well, so canned food can be made just as well."
"The consumers of canned food are these wealthy families. We can can special fruits from remote areas and sell them to places like Beijing."
"Those foreign fruits don't last long in storage. Even if they were sent to the capital over a swift 800-mile journey, only the royal family could afford to eat them. Ordinary people would probably never know what those foreign fruits taste like. If I could can them and sell them in the capital, I'm sure not only the wealthy but also ordinary people would spare a little money to buy a can to try them."
Zhu Wuhuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
She praised, "Mom, you're awesome! I believe you can open stores all over the country!"
Feng Changye looked confused after hearing this.
What are canned foods, instant noodles, biscuits, and so on?
But seeing his two beloved women talking so enthusiastically, he didn't dare interrupt or ask any questions. He just listened with a vague understanding and made random guesses in his mind.
Si Sangsang turned around and saw his son's confused look, and chuckled.
"Let Huanhuan explain it to you later."
She stroked Feng Changye's hair and said, "You, just secretly tell an official you trust to give me a green light all the way, so that no one can ruin my business."
Feng Changye nodded repeatedly. Of course.
His mother is doing business, and anyone who dares to deliberately cause trouble will be killed!
Si Sangsang glanced at the night outside and said, "It's getting late. Mom has to go back. I'll come back to see you after I've settled down in a couple of days."
She stood up and prepared to leave.
Feng Changye reluctantly stood up with her, holding her arm, revealing a bit of his youthful appearance, "Mother, stay in the palace for one night before leaving... You have never been with me before."
Si Sangsang looked at him sideways, curling her lips, "Okay, do you want mother and brother to accompany you, or do you want Huanhuan and Xiao'er Aqiong to accompany you? If you choose mother and brother, then for the next half month you will stay in Taiji Hall with mother and brother, and don't come to look for Huanhuan and your two children——"
"..." Feng Changye silently looked at his teasing mother.
Coincidentally, his mother was secretly giving him a wink.
He also heard his mother's voice.
[You idiot! Your mother left with your brother, and you showed Huanhuan how sad you were. You acted pitiful, saying you were abandoned by your mother and felt so sad and wronged. Huanhuan loves you so much, how could she not be soft-hearted?]
[Hurry up and get your spirits up, Mom is leaving.]
[If it really doesn't work, just pinch your son secretly and make him cry. Then you cry too. It will be fine if you cry until Huanhuan softens his heart.]
“…” Feng Changye looked at his mother in disbelief!
He didn't expect that his mother would be such a person!
He turned around to glance at Zhu Wuhuan, and as he helped his mother walk towards the small couch, he whispered, "Well, then, should I try it later?"
Si Sangsang smiled and patted his head, "Go ahead and try."
On the small couch, Si Jin had already thrown away the feather duster when he saw his mother coming over, and stretched out his arms for a hug, "Mom!"
Si Sangsang said, "Hug brother first. After hugging brother, we will go home and sleep."
When the little guy heard that he could go home and sleep, his eyes lit up.
He quickly pulled his brother's arm and gave him a perfunctory hug, then turned around and threw himself into Si Sangsang's arms, happily pointing at the food box, "Hehe! Drill hehe!"
Si Sangsang laughed, "You still remember to drill into the box?"
The little guy nodded proudly.
Of course he knew. When he came here, he crawled into a box and was carried by his mother. He would definitely crawl into a box again when he goes back!
Mom holds the box and shakes it like a swing. It’s so fun!
Si Sangsang smiled and put him into the food box. Before closing the box, she taught him, "Say goodbye to your brother and sister-in-law, and then I'll put the lid on!"
He squatted obediently in the box, waving his little hand and saying goodbye, "Brother! Sister-in-law! Goodbye!"
After saying that, he grabbed the breathable bamboo lid and moved over, happily covering himself in the food box.
His cute look made everyone smile.
"Huanhuan, take good care of yourself during the confinement period. We are leaving now."
Si Sangsang picked up the lunch box, put on his cloak and walked out.
Feng Changye also said something to Zhu Wuhuan and turned around to see his mother and brother off.
When he arrived in the yard, he was just about to ask Xiao Yuanzi to bring some lanterns, but he saw his mother flying away with the box!
"..." He stared blankly at his mother as she left his sight in a heroic manner, leaving only her black cape fluttering in the wind...
In shock, his eyes rolled and he suddenly had an idea!
He quickly turned around and ran into the room, closing the door. Then, he quickly came to the bedside, hugged Zhu Wuhuan, and began his performance.
"Huanhuan!"
He looked panicked, helpless and desperate.
"Mom flew over eaves and walls and left in a flash. I was so scared! If you exchanged for the Light Body Technique, would you also take the two children and abandon me and leave in a flash?"
There were tears in his eyes.
"Are you all going to abandon me... Do you all want me? Mother only wants my brother, not me. Huanhuan, you don't want me either. Aqiong and Xiao'er don't want me either... I have so many relatives, but surprisingly, not a single one is willing to love me..."
