Chunlan and Chunping looked at the newcomer. What's going on with this person?
Their wives are first-rank ladies; would they be people who lack small amounts of money and small things?
The young mistress's answer completely stunned them.
"Okay!" Chen Siyuan smiled and said to the Fifth Princess.
"Great, I love it!" The Fifth Princess patted Chen Siyuan's arm. "You're the cleanest woman I've ever met."
"clean?"
"It's definitely true, just look at those on the street..."
Chen Siyuan belatedly realized that the Fifth Princess Consort was indeed a bit strange, and she liked this personality!
She couldn't understand it anymore. How could such a straightforward person be so easily manipulated by the concubines in the mansion?
Since it was the first meeting, I couldn't say too much, and the other party hadn't revealed their identity yet, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything.
Later, the Fifth Princess and Chen Siyuan had dinner together. During the meal, Chen Siyuan learned many details about eating hot pot that she didn't know before.
Later, finding the Fifth Princess Consort an interesting person and noticing the shop's poor business, he turned to Chunping standing beside him and said, "Go home and get a jar of good wine. I'll have a couple of drinks with this shop owner."
"We have wine in our store, and Lady Yipin can..." the clerk explained.
Chen Siyuan smiled but didn't say anything. Watching Chunping leave, she turned to look at the Fifth Princess Consort, meeting her smiling eyes, "So you're the First-Rank Lady?"
Chen Siyuan felt a little uneasy under the gaze. If she hadn't been sure the other person was a woman, she would have thought he was a lecher.
"Um."
"Actually, you don't need to help me like this. My business is only temporarily bad, it will get better soon."
"I just prefer the wine in the manor." Chen Siyuan would never say that; she deliberately dragged Qiao Yuchen into the mess.
Qiao Yuchen's reputation in Beijing is too great; it's believed that having Qiao Yuchen as a living advertisement will help her.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan knew that she didn't need to interfere; the Fifth Princess Consort was already able to stand up. She probably already had a way to deal with it. She just wanted to improve her relationship with the Fifth Princess Consort.
Chunping was a clever person. When she went back, she took an ordinary carriage, but when she arrived with the wine jar, she was in a carriage with the Qiao family's insignia.
He even deliberately stopped the carriage at the door, and when he got off the carriage carrying the wine jar, he deliberately spoke to Wang Li.
"You wait here, I'll bring wine to the First-Rank Lady."
In short, everyone who passed by craned their necks to look over.
Chunping felt that the madam didn't need to help others at all. Since it was the young mistress's order, she had to do it even if she didn't understand.
When Chunping brought the wine, Chen Siyuan opened it and personally poured a glass for the two of them.
After a drink, the two became acquainted.
Later, when she heard that the Fifth Princess Consort was hosting a banquet for free tasting the next day, she was asked if she wanted to come, and Chen Siyuan readily agreed.
When Chen Siyuan left in her carriage, the Fifth Princess personally saw her off at the door and presented her with many small gifts.
Sitting in the carriage, Chunlan couldn't help but grumble, "Young Madam, you don't need to do that at all. It's just a small hot pot restaurant. If you like, you can have the young master set one up for you."
Chen Siyuan laughed, "Such arrogance! Do you think your young master is so easy to talk to?"
"This servant thinks that the young master treats the young mistress very well."
"You're still too young." Even if something is good, you can't have excessive demands; otherwise, it will only make people dislike you.
Besides, if I really like it, I have the ability to open one myself.
Having dinner with the Fifth Princess today, she realized that there are many intricacies involved in what seems like a simple hot pot; what she had learned before was far too superficial.
Thinking about this, Chen Siyuan didn't think it was a big deal.
It's even more amazing that she can do everything. She only knows a little bit about cooking hot pot, yet she still managed to attract the Fifth Princess.
Looking back now, the Fifth Princess Consort was probably looking for someone, but it wasn't her, which disappointed her.
It must be said that she liked the Fifth Princess's personality; as she said, she was 'clean,' and there weren't many clean people left in the entire capital.
Back at his residence, having had a little wine, he wanted to rest, but instead heard bursts of weeping.
Chen Siyuan deliberately avoided that section of road and headed towards her own Beiyuan.
Some people, still crying, moved to a spot not far from Beiyuan.
Chen Siyuan heard this, but pretended not to hear it.
Aunt Guo is no simple woman. She must be heartbroken over her daughter's death. At this time, she'll seize any opportunity to bite someone to death.
Chen Siyuan didn't want to have a direct conflict with her at this time, but unexpectedly, someone still came to her door.
Chen Siyuan had barely returned to Beiyuan, and before she could even sit down properly, someone came to report that Aunt Guo was requesting an audience at the door.
It would be better not to see him at this time, but Qiao Yang is dead, so it wouldn't be right to block him at the door.
While she was hesitating, a familiar voice came from outside, and she stopped worrying about it.
He took out all the things that the Fifth Princess had given him and saw that they were all strange little toys, so he picked them up and started playing with them.
After a short while, the noise outside stopped, and Qiao Yuchen quickly walked in.
Hearing the noise, I looked up and saw Qiao Yuchen walking towards me with his back to the sunlight.
It seemed as if she had suddenly come to the countryside and wondered how she had spent the past few days, and she looked down at the little toy in her hand.
Qiao Yuchen had a keen eye and knew exactly why the woman was angry.
With a wave of his hand, all the maids and servants who were standing in front of them left, leaving only the two of them.
Qiao Yuchen came up to Chen Siyuan and tried to pick her up, but the woman's actions made him both laugh and cry.
Chen Siyuan reacted quickly, immediately jumping up and looking at Qiao Yuchen warily, "I'm tired."
"Hehe—" Qiao Yuchen could only sit properly opposite him. "I just wanted to ask where you got these things. They look quite interesting."
No matter how fun it is, it's not as fun as the woman in front of me.
"I...I went out for hot pot, and the restaurant owner gave it to me." Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
Thinking about how this man has been so unrestrained these past few days, he must be tired too. Thinking about this makes me feel much more at ease.
"Hot pot, the one we ate at before?"
"Yeah, I opened a hot pot restaurant outside." Chen Siyuan continued playing with the toy in her hand.
It's just a few wooden figures, but their arms and legs can move, making it a lot of fun to play with.
"I'll try it someday."
Seeing that the man's attitude was normal, and seeing that Aunt Jiang had brought over Su Ji's pastries and tea, Chen Siyuan, who had just finished eating, seemed to be hungry again.
I picked up a piece of pastry and ate it. It tasted really good, just like the one I had in the south of the city.
She had been to Su Ji Pastry Shop in Beijing, and the variety was much greater than when she was in the southern part of the city.
It's likely that there are many aristocratic sons in the capital who like this kind of thing, so it's normal that there are many different kinds.
At this time, Chen Siyuan had no idea who owned Su Ji Pastry, nor did she know that Su Ji Pastry only started to offer a wider variety of pastries after Chen Siyuan came to the capital.
"Delicious?" Qiao Yuchen asked.
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan took another piece and put it in her mouth, seemingly unaware of the coded message in the man's words.
