"Boss, the customers have been asking us when the fruit will arrive these past few days. Today we finally have an answer."
Chen Li remembered what Su Zhihui had said before, "Ayao, send someone to the Su Mansion to inform them that the grapes have arrived. Also, leave three pounds of peaches and pears for Miss Su."
"yes."
It is always right to applaud the young lady of the prefectural government. If something happens in the future, it is better to have acquaintances than not.
Bai Yao immediately called a waiter from the store and asked him to go and notify them, while she packed the fruits in the back.
The basket that Chenli requested was delivered early in the morning. Now it’s just the right time to pack the grapes. As for the other fruits, there’s no need for a basket.
Su Zhihui got the news, but she couldn't leave because of something, so she ordered her personal maid to go and get it back quickly.
By the time I got there, many people in the store were already buying fruits, and these fruits were purchased first by the customers in the store. Despite this, there were still many people.
Fortunately, Lianxiang recognized the Su Mansion's carriage at once and waited for her to get in.
When the little maid saw the peaches and pears, she wanted to go in and grab them, but Lianxiang stopped her, saying that she had reserved some for Miss Su.
The little girl returned with a load of fruit, "Miss!"
Su Zhihui had just been accompanying her mother to entertain guests. As soon as she returned to her own yard, she heard the little maid come back.
"Look, miss, today we have not only grapes, but also peaches and pears."
Su Zhihui leaned over to take a look. Seeing the big, red peaches and bright yellow pears, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly curved up. "Send all these pears to mother's yard."
"Yes, Madam's cough has come back. These pears may help alleviate it a little."
"Well, well done, reward!"
"Thank you, Miss."
"Dongshuang, take these grapes down and put them away. Divide the peaches into three portions, send one to each courtyard, and send one to Grandmother."
"yes."
Dongshuang understood what her young lady wanted to do most right now, so she took a peach and quickly cut it into small pieces and served it.
Su Zhihui was eating sweet peaches and was in a very good mood.
It was just noon when the several baskets of fruits that Chen Li brought back were sold out, and a lot of cakes and milk tea in the store were also bought.
The staff in the store were busy in an orderly manner. Chen Li had nothing to do here, so she simply went to the backyard to discuss pastries with Jiang Niang and Li Niang and developed two new products.
Chen Li was in a good mood. They were very talented in cooking, especially in desserts.
In the afternoon, after packing some pastries from the store, Chen Li drove a carriage to buy a lot of vegetables, and also a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits seeped out of the space.
It doesn't make sense to sell all the food and not give it to your family.
My sister-in-law will be out of confinement tomorrow, and Shen Changshan plans to invite some acquaintances to hold a simple full-month banquet.
The vegetables were bought early in the morning, and Chen Li was planning to keep them for her family.
…
In the capital, Pei Yu was sitting in his study handling official business when Tian Qing walked in with a letter. "Master, this is news from An Wu."
He left two people with Shen Li, not to monitor her, but just to find out how she was doing.
Moreover, the two secret guards, having received Pei Yu's instructions, did not dare to approach Chen Li at all. They always stayed far away, fearing that they would lose her every time.
Pei Yu put down the pen in his hand, took it and started reading, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised gradually lowered.
His eyes gradually darkened. Was Lu Jing's feelings for Ah Li gratitude? Or was it love between a man and a woman?
Fortunately, the Lu family had a lot to keep him busy, and it was not easy for him to pass the imperial examinations, so he probably didn't have that much time to see Ali.
Besides, Ali would definitely not like his type!
Although he thought so in his heart, Pei Yu was still worried. He had to deal with the things at hand as soon as possible. Although they agreed to wait for him for two years, Ali did not agree explicitly.
He could imagine that when he went there happily, if he saw that Ali was already married, he thought he would go crazy.
…
Zhennan Palace
"Prince, Princess, Crown Prince, the Third Young Master is back!"
Sitting at the top were the solemn-looking prince and the graceful princess, and to their left sat the calm-looking Prince Xie Yunci of Zhennan.
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan snorted coldly, "Come back, I think he has spent all his money."
Princess Zhennan's eyes were red, and she glanced at her husband sitting next to her with anger, "Che'er has taken so long to come back. If you make him angry and leave again, I won't allow it."
Upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across the face of the Prince of Zhennan. "Madam, that rebellious son will die if we don't take care of him anymore."
"That's not how the prince manages it!"
Seeing that his wife was about to get angry again, he compromised, "Okay, I promise Madam, as long as he doesn't do those bastard things again."
Prince Xie Yunci, who was standing by, also had a helpless look on his face. He had long been accustomed to the way his parents spoke.
Xie Yunche ran away in anger this time and stayed outside for several months before returning.
Shen Jiaojiao, who was standing aside, looked excited. She had been following Xie Yunche along the way and had seen a lot of prosperity, but after arriving in the capital, she couldn't hide her inner excitement.
There were two blushes on her face. She was wearing a pink dress today. The material was of high quality, which she had never touched before.
After seeing all this, she gradually developed a sense of ambition in her heart.
She wanted to stay rich forever.
"Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Jiaojiao was kept by Xie Yunche like this. She was a slave, but she did not sell herself into slavery. She was even less of a concubine, but there were often some ambiguous actions between her and Xie Yunche.
Because of the life-saving grace, Xie Yunche treated Chen Jiaojiao quite well. The most important thing was that Chen Jiaojiao knew the current situation and knew how to advance and retreat.
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender neck, and said with envy, “Master, Jiaojiao has never seen any luxurious mansion.”
"Hahaha, what do I think is worthy of your happiness?"
"Come on, I'll show you around."
"good."
The corners of Shen Jiaojiao's lips moved slightly, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, this young master is really easy to coax!
However, Shen Jiaojiao followed behind him, looking at the luxurious Zhennan Palace, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She didn't know whether the masters in this palace were easy to get along with.
However, considering that he had saved Xie Yunche's life, his treatment would not be too bad no matter what.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao recalled the things Xie Yunche had given away to his second brother and sister-in-law. There was a hidden pride in his eyes. They would never be able to benefit from his influence again.
