"Shu'er, I understand what you mean. I will take Ping'er and Cai'er out tomorrow to see if there are any shops."
"What do those two illiterate girls know? I'll let my husband accompany you out tomorrow!" Shu'er looked at her with a smile on her face. Gu Yunru was a little envious of Shu'er, as she could maintain such a happy mood anytime and anywhere, but now she had become like a shrew, feeling sorry for herself all day long.
When Ji Heng heard that Shu'er wanted to find some work for Gu Yunru, such as opening a restaurant, teahouse or a restaurant, he gave a conclusion based on the current changes.
"It's probably not a good idea to open a restaurant now. There are so many refugees. There has been no movement from Prince Guangping, and the government of each state has also turned a blind eye to it. If all of these refugees are expelled, it will sooner or later cause a riot."
"My husband, what you said makes sense, but this matter is not our business. How should we implement it?" Shu'er was also worried. If Yin Zu didn't cheer up one day, the people would continue to suffer.
"Aunt, where is Yin Zu?" Shu'er looked at Gu Yunru curiously, who was in a daze again. Every time her aunt talked to him like this, he would look away again.
"Ah...Yin Zu has been gradually getting back to normal these days. I believe he can handle this matter. Please give him some time." Gu Yunru believed that Yin Zu understood the importance of this matter. If he could make meritorious service, the emperor would definitely reward him. If he failed to accomplish anything and instead caused more trouble than success, he would definitely be criticized by all the court officials.
The next morning, Ji Heng accompanied Gu Yunru, a pregnant woman, to the street for a walk. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, he didn't know who were sick and who were not. It was really dangerous to go out rashly at this time.
"princess……"
"Don't call me Princess outside. Just call me Miss Wang."
Gu Yunru didn't want those people to know his true identity, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.
"Yes... Miss Wang, we have looked at most of these shops. Some of them have to be sold out in advance due to drought. There are many empty restaurants and teahouses. I wonder what you would like to choose."
Ji Heng accompanied her for less than half an hour and they had already walked around the cross street. This Qizhou City sounds very grand, but in fact, there are not many places where people actually live. It is surrounded by mountains and is not a good place with outstanding people. If you want to go to the provincial capital, you need to take a carriage for several days.
Gu Yunru walked and stopped, and saw a shop. The decoration of this shop was very simple. There were only two vermilion lacquered pillars at the door and only five steps.
"Miss Wang, you are not interested in this restaurant, are you?" Ji Heng had asked someone to inquire about it. It seems that no one dared to buy this restaurant because someone died there.
"I think the layout here is pretty good, why don't we book it here!" Gu Yunru took a look and saw that there were three floors in total. Two floors could be used as private rooms, and the third floor could be used as guest rooms. This way they would have enough rooms to rest.
"But Miss Wang, you don't know what's inside..."
"What, Lord Ji, could you please speak clearly all at once?" Gu Yunru looked at him impatiently, touching his waist. He was very satisfied with the layout of this restaurant. There was a small courtyard at the back and a pool of turquoise spring water. With such a good layout and feng shui, anyone who didn't want to come down was a fool.
"I heard that the cook here committed suicide, and not just one cook, but all the cooks who had worked here committed suicide one after another..." Ji Heng mentioned this matter to her carefully. Gu Yunru shrugged her shoulders, "But what does this have to do with me?"
"But this haunted house is unlucky, and most of the locals know what happened here, so they don't dare to come here to eat."
Ji Heng tried hard to explain to her that this garden was indeed unique and exquisite, but if anyone knew that the restaurant here had reopened, it would certainly not attract customers.
"Don't you think it's interesting? You can enjoy solving puzzles while cooking. I've decided to send a few craftsmen to redecorate the place. Replace all the tables and chairs, put blankets on the floor, and trim the flowers and plants in the back. Then we'll move in together!"
Gu Yunru completely forgot his words and walked around by herself. She was very satisfied with the design and structure of the courtyard, but she didn't know that a pair of eyes in the attic were secretly watching them.
Back at the inn, Shu'er learned that she was going to move to that haunted house, and she was so scared that she quickly hugged Ji Heng's arm and said, "Can you persuade my aunt again not to go to such a weird and gloomy place? I'm a little scared."
"I told the princess, but she didn't care. Instead, she thought it was quite fun..." Ji Heng took the tea and drank it in one gulp. He couldn't understand why the princess was different from other women. If a normal woman knew that a restaurant was a haunted house, she would definitely not buy it. However, the princess's behavior was different from that of ordinary women.
"Auntie must be really crazy this time!" Shu'er sighed helplessly. At this time, Xiaoyu finished the barbecue and took it upstairs at the risk of being kicked out of the inn by the shopkeeper.
"Sister Shangguan, Azhen, come and try it. How about the roasted pigeon I made?!" Xiaoyu looked at the two of them expectantly with a light in her eyes.
Shangguan Yurou smelled the fragrant pigeon and couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Xiaoyu, you really have a talent for cooking!"

"Really? I think so too. When I was in the village, I often caught some wild pheasants and fished for grilled fish."
Xiaoyu looked at the two of them with a smile on her face, and seeing that A Zhao seemed to be worried, she walked up to him and moved closer to him.
"So happy?" Ah Zhen couldn't help but be infected by her smile, as if there was a special magic that made people unable to look away.
"Yes, I still remember when my parents were alive, I always liked to follow them and make some simple barbecue, which would make me happy for the whole day!" Xiaoyu's happiness is so simple, a simple meal can make him satisfied.
"So that's how it is..."
"Well, Brother Zhen, you hunted so many animals, and the meat will go bad if you don't eat it. Why don't we find a restaurant and sell it all some other day? We can make a lot of money that way."
Xiaoyu had a good idea. After hearing it, Rong Zhen nodded in appreciation and praised her for her business acumen.
