Jiang Shan glanced at Fu Qiyuan, and the two of them squatted down at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, and kissed Jiang Huai's little face.
Jiang Huai laughed heartily, his eyes curving into crescent moons.
Seeing that the family of three was finally reunited, Jiao's mother turned to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "It must have been so hard for Yan'er, making such a fuss over proposing! We've all seen your feelings for Shan'er, and I'm very relieved to entrust Shan'er and Huai'er to your care!"
Fu Qiyuan bowed deeply to Jiao's mother.
While laughing, the old patriarch Fu whispered in Fu Ting's ear, "Your son is much better than you, his father! The tricks he comes up with are unique in the entire Daqing Kingdom. You should learn from him!"
Fu Ting choked for a moment, then said somewhat speechlessly, "Dad, I'm not getting married, so what's the point of learning this!"
The old patriarch Fu rolled his eyes, glanced at Jiao's mother discreetly, and said in a low voice, "Well, she's still worth marrying. That girl is still single, isn't she? How about...?"
As if she had eyes in the back of her head, Jiao's mother suddenly turned around and glanced at Old Master Fu.
The old master of the Fu family chuckled with a shameless grin.
Mrs. Jiao said irritably, "Uncle Fu, you're already so old, why are you worrying about all this! Aren't your grandchildren and great-grandchildren enough to make you happy? My senior brother has his own way of living, so you should just give him a break!"
Well, since they've already started calling him "senior brother," I guess it's hopeless!
This son is really boring! His grandson and great-grandson are much more fun!
The old patriarch Fu decisively changed his position, moving further away from his son.
Li Yang curled his lip and said, "Which mischievous one of you came up with this way of proposing? It's quite interesting, but it's a bit wasteful of roses!"
Jiangshan is in a state of embarrassment.
Prince Qingyang stroked his beard and asked, "Young Fu, after you staged such a marriage proposal, how is my son supposed to get married in the future? Are all the noble families in the capital going to have to go out to sea to find some kind of stone... diamond? Don't you think that's too expensive?"
Fu Qiyuan put his arm around Jiang Shan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Your Highness, if the young master wants to get married, you can tell Shan'er. I bought a lot of diamonds. As long as Shan'er is willing, it is fine to give the young master a few."
Jiang Shan's eyes lit up, as if she saw a mountain of gold beckoning to her.
The Prince of Qingyang fell silent, but Li Minghe leaned closer with a grin and casually placed his hand on Jiang Shan's shoulder, only to be ruthlessly brushed away by Fu Qiyuan.
"Don't be so stingy, we're partners! Shan'er, you know what I mean, how about we talk about this sometime?"
Jiang Shan rolled her eyes, but her slightly bitten lips betrayed her true thoughts.
Li Yang felt a pang of sadness, thinking, "How come these kids are so good at making money? They can sell every single one of their tricks for cash. I'm so envious!"
On second thought, it doesn't seem like a big deal if Fu Qiyuan doesn't become an official; he's good at making money!
What Li Yang didn't know was that her elder brother had secretly intercepted Fu Qiyuan halfway back, using a combination of threats, inducements, and coercion to get Fu Qiyuan to accept the transfer order.
The date for his appointment has not yet been set, so we can't rush it or rush it.
This is tantamount to binding the engaged couple firmly to the emperor's pirate ship.
Whether it's being a royal merchant, a county princess title, or an arranged marriage, it's all just a routine!
You can never fight city hall. No matter how capable Jiang Shan and Fu Qiyuan are, they are still subjects of Emperor Wenqing.
Since they're destined to be sycophants, how they sycophantically they want to do it is up to them!
Therefore, Jiang Shan decided to show off his skills at the Emperor's birthday banquet!
After making up her mind, she held an important meeting with all the chefs, store managers, and shop management personnel under the Jiang family's name.
Fu Qiyuan, as the person in charge of Jiang's Private Kitchen's second branch in Beijing, also attended the meeting.
The emperor's birthday celebrations are nothing more than eating, drinking, and entertainment; she only needs to focus her efforts on these aspects.
As for food, the chefs at Jiang's Private Kitchen are already able to make all kinds of classic dishes from all over the country. The high-ranking officials in the capital come from all over the country of Daqing. If they can eat his hometown dishes at the emperor's birthday banquet, what could be more heartwarming?
Drink up, the fruit wine brewed by Jiangshan is suitable for men, women, young and old. It has a bright color, rich fruit aroma, and mellow taste. Those in the know will say it is a top-quality product.
For entertainment, take a few kids for a ride, and those rich people will be laughing their heads off!
As a result, all the employees under Jiang's name were terrified and immediately started burning incense in gratitude for this opportunity to appear before the emperor.
Xi'er was completely stunned. Her legs went weak, and she clung to Jiang Shan's arm, crying out in extreme panic, "Miss, I...I...I can't do it! I can't make the Emperor's birthday cake, a nine-tiered cake! I can't do it! Miss, I really can't!"
Jiang Shan let Xi'er hang on her arm and said, half-coaxing and half-enticing, "You don't trust my judgment, do you? If I say you can do it, you can do it! It's not like you're doing it all by yourself. You're in charge, and I'll come over to help you with the modeling and decorating. You'll have me back to support you in everything, won't you?"
Xi'er blinked her big eyes, then shook her head vigorously, "No, no, no, I'm scared! That's the palace, there are nobles everywhere, I'm just a little girl, I can't do it!"
Poor Xi'er was only fourteen years old. Although she had seen many high-ranking officials in her life and had been trained to be quite bold by An Er, she still couldn't imagine facing the emperor directly.
Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, on that day, you'll be in charge of the entire pastry shop! I'll have An Er assist you! An Er is strong and can throw out anyone who doesn't obey!"
An Er... Thinking of An Er, that exceptionally handsome living Yama, something inside Xi'er's heart instantly swelled up!
Seeing Xi'er's ever-changing expression, Jiang Shan was secretly pleased and said, "Our An'er's kung fu is far superior to that of the Imperial Guard Commander! With him by your side, you can move freely throughout the palace, even more impressive than me! Alright, it's settled then. Go and prepare, we'll enter the palace in three days!"
Xi'er walked away with her eyes glazed over, her hands and feet moving in unison, while Jiang Shan stood there laughing so hard he bent over.
An Er appeared like a ghost, expressionless, and said, "I have to go with you, I can't go anywhere! You have An San accompany her!"
Speaking of Dark Three, Jiang Shan has never seen the real person.
Without thinking, she said, "Xi'er is timid. She's closest to you, and she can only focus on making cakes when you're around. She can't do it with anyone else! Let An San come with me. He's more familiar with the capital, and I can ask him some questions."
An Er curled his lip, "An San's skills aren't as good as mine."
Jiang Shan glanced at him sideways, "We're not going to the palace to fight, why would we need such high-level skills just to cause trouble? Just be a little smarter!"
An Er was at a loss; when it came to cleverness, An San was truly the best.
