Chapter 262 Wu Han prepares to cook
Jiang Mansion
"Ming En, how did the talks go? Is Patriarch Gu willing to cooperate?"
Song Mingen smiled and nodded. "Wen Can's mind is all about making money. Gu Wanqing will definitely be tempted by this, as it involves the Gu family's two major industries, land and sea transportation. However, he is cunning and wants to maximize his profits. He wants me and Wen Can to go to the Gu family's territory in three days to discuss cooperation. The Gu family is so powerful and numerous that we will definitely suffer a great loss."
Jiang Yunwan raised an eyebrow. "Don't be afraid. The Gu family is doing legitimate business. It's not like you can't come back if you go. The Gu family is just relying on their numbers to overpower you. If you give more profit, the deal will be done. Even if the deal doesn't work out, you've seen the male master of the Gu family before. In short, you won't suffer any loss."
"Ha..." Song Mingen reached out and touched Jiang Yunwan's abdomen. "You are right. Everything you said is right. Let me touch my son."
"Tomorrow is the day Sister Yu goes to Chaofeng Palace Academy. We will rush to the Du Mansion to pick her up and take her to the academy tomorrow morning."
"good."
Zhichun Garden
Jiang Yunshu was lying on the couch, Cheng Qingmeng was massaging her shoulders, and she was looking at the teacher who was writing at the table lazily and comfortably.
"Stop pinching Meng'er. You're almost tired. Go back to your room and rest."
Cheng Qingmeng stood up and walked to the table. "Brother, I'm going to Chaofeng Palace Academy tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you to accompany mother for a while."
Wen Shu put down the copybook in his hand and looked up at her, "Sister, just focus on learning skills, I will take good care of mother."
"As for me, I will take good care of Aunt Shushu with my brother." Wen Nuo came in holding a stack of calligraphy books. "Brother, your grandfather asked me to bring this. Just finish half of it before dinner."
After taking a look at the book, I decided to finish it no matter what.
Now that he is this old, he needs to learn and practice more.
He needs five years to obtain the title of Juren, and he needs to protect his mother and sister!
"Yeah, I understand." Wen Shu turned to Jiang Yunshu and said, "Mother, Xiao Nuo and I went to the next room to practice writing."
Jiang Yunshu nodded. "Go ahead. You don't have to listen to your grandfather. Just write as many pages as you can."
Jiang Yunshu looked at his small body and worried that he couldn't handle it.
Wen Shu obeyed and pulled Wen Nuo out of the room.
"Meng'er, when you have time to go to Chaofeng Palace Academy tomorrow, go check on the girl from the Yu family. Be careful and don't let her notice."
Cheng Qingmeng: "I will be more careful and careful, and will never reveal any flaws."
She also wants to have a good meeting with Yu Qingyao. Her eldest brother has been abused like this, she will not let the Yu family have an easy time!
At the same time, Jinxiu entered the main house of Haitang Garden and said, "Madam, Old Madam Cheng sent Nanny Niu to see our eldest daughter."
Feng Yingying turned around to look at Jiang Shiyun who was painting.
"Yun'er, looking for you?"
Jiang Shiyun guessed the purpose of Nanny Niu's visit, "Aunt Jinxiu, let Nanny Niu leave the things and send her away, and tell her that I keep my word."
"good."
Feng Yingying was surprised: "What do you mean? What did you promise to the Cheng family?"
Jiang Shiyun then told Feng Yingying the reason why Cheng Qingya and Cheng Qingtang were punished to write Buddhist scriptures.
Feng Yingying was furious. "I thought the two girls from the Cheng family's second branch were good, but they turned out to be rotten-hearted."
"Mother, don't be angry. I heard from my cousin Meng that my aunt will find a way to separate the second branch of the Cheng family after she returns to the Cheng Mansion to take care of her pregnancy..."
Feng Yingying thought about going to Cheng Mansion to arrange for help first, "You should focus on painting. Mother still has things to do."
Feng Yingying made some arrangements and went to look for Jiang Youya.
At this time, Jiang Youya's face looked grim as he listened to the news brought back by the spies from the border.
"Cheng Xiao really didn't commit fraud and claim credit for someone else's work?"
The spy said, "Yes, General Du thinks highly of him and has given him opportunities to make contributions."
"What? Giving him a chance to make meritorious contributions? What is General Du thinking? Isn't this unfair to others?"
Chang Huai looked at Old Jiang's expression and said at the right moment, "General Du is only doing this because Cheng Xiao is your son-in-law."
Jiang Youya's face instantly turned as dark as liver.
He actually brought so many conveniences to Cheng Xiao!
The spy added, "I've also discovered that Cheng Xiao is quite close to several of Prince Rong's closest associates."
Jiang Youya was shocked. This was someone climbing up to Prince Rong’s mansion!
The Cheng family dared to secretly replace his grandchildren and were not afraid of his rebellion. He must have seen the situation in the court clearly and climbed up another powerful branch!
Chang Huai saw Feng Yingying enter the courtyard and said, "Master, the eldest lady is here."
Jiang Youya quickly softened his expression and said, "You guys step back first."
Feng Yingying glanced at the dusty guards behind Chang Huai and entered the room.
"Yingying, why are you looking for dad?"
"In just over a month, Mother's eyes will be back, and Shushu will return to the Cheng Residence to take care of the baby. I've just made some arrangements to send her there in advance, but I don't know what Cheng Xiao's situation is like at the border. If he wins the battle with the Du family's young master and returns unscathed, wouldn't Shushu's plan be difficult to implement?"
Jiang Youya nodded, "I want Shushu to divorce and come back, find a good man and live a good life. I hope she will be loved and spoiled in the future, and I don't want her to continue to waste time with the Cheng family. My eldest granddaughter, eldest grandson, and the little grandson I haven't met yet all have the surname Cheng. I'm disgusted!"
Feng Yingying said, "My daughter-in-law also hopes that Shushu can leave the Cheng family. Shushu is afraid that this incident will affect the reputation of our Jiang family. More importantly, she wants to plan for Shuge'er's future and wants him to inherit the Marquisate that Cheng Xiao painstakingly planned for and make him a young marquis."
"Shushu has a stubborn personality and won't compromise easily on her decisions. Let's just go along with her for now and then find a way to leave the Cheng family. I think Shu'er is smart and might achieve great things in the future. He might even make a contribution to the court and be granted a title of nobility by the emperor."
Jiang Youya smiled when he heard this. "I've tested him before, and he's indeed talented. Okay, let's do as Shushu says for now. You don't have to worry about Cheng Xiao. I'll make the arrangements."
After meeting Yunyan, Song Mingzhu felt a little melancholy.
"Qiuyue, Huanhuan doesn't want to see me anymore."
"Madam, don't overthink it. The eldest lady means that she will not degenerate into becoming a concubine. She wants you and the young master to live a good life. She still cares about you and the young master in her heart. After all, you are her biological mother."
"Really?"
"Of course, if she didn't have you in her heart, why would she send Yunyan to see you."
Song Mingzhu felt better after hearing this. "Let's go back home. Han Ge'er said he would cook for me today."
Wu Han was struggling with his thoughts all day long: should he give her mother medicine?
"Uncle Zhong, is Yang Xu a reliable person?"
Wu Zhong said, "Young Master, you must trust me. I won't lie to you. Yang Xu is the person I value most. If I hadn't left six months ago, I wouldn't have been exiled. The eldest daughter is still the future daughter-in-law of Prince Rong. Yang Xu's method will definitely allow me to return to the capital. Trust him."
Wu Han looked at Wu Zhong, "Is he really my father's staff member?"
"certainly."
"Young Master." The servant's voice came from outside the door, "The Madam is back."
Wu Han hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. I'll cook for you myself in a moment."
After giving the order, Wu Han rushed to the main courtyard.
"Mom, you're back. Are you tired?"
