Yun Zhizhi immediately cowered, shrinking her neck as she said, "I think it's safer for me to go through the back door!"
He Yang quickly advised, "In my opinion, you'd better not go out today."
Then, he sighed helplessly and explained, "I just went out to buy a candied hawthorn to satisfy my craving, but I got harassed by someone on the way."
“Those uncles and aunties clung to me like I was a treasure, refusing to let me leave. They kept muttering a bunch of excuses, trying to get us to keep selling boxed lunches.”
Hearing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, did you manage to buy any candied hawthorns in the end?"
He Yang sighed with a bitter face, "Sigh, don't even mention it. Not only did I not buy anything, but I also wasted almost half an hour of my time!"
He had originally planned to take advantage of not having to set up his stall today to go to Zhou's Wine Shop on Jinghe Street to find Zhou Chuchu.
Lingering around her a few more times can be a good opportunity to cultivate feelings between the two of you.
Who would have thought that these unexpected obstacles would appear out of nowhere? After all this trouble, he was scared.
It seems that being highly sought after these days isn't necessarily a good thing.
Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi cast a sympathetic glance at her and gently comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't be so downcast. Next time you have the chance, I'll make you candied hawthorns myself."
Upon hearing this, He Yang's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked with a face full of surprise, "Really?"
"Um."
"Boss, you're amazing! Nothing can stump you, you're practically my god."
After the praise, He Yang suddenly seemed to remember something important. His previously relaxed brows furrowed tightly, and he muttered to himself:
"On my way back, I heard something really annoying!"
"That Grand Tutor's daughter, Lin Qianyu, who is also the fish-raising expert that Master Xuanzhen mentioned, has now started to imitate us and set up a stall."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi blinked her bright eyes a few times and hurriedly asked, "Have you found out what she sells at her stall?"
He Yang was now red with anger and couldn't help but burst into curses: "That shameless woman, she actually had the nerve to imitate us selling those dolls and plush toys at our stall! It's outrageous!"
After calming down a bit, he continued indignantly, "What's even more outrageous is that every single doll she sells is almost exactly the same as the ones we sell. The similarity is ridiculously high!"
"However, the fabric she uses for the dolls is of really poor quality, and the embroidery is absolutely terrible. In my opinion, she's definitely trying to capitalize on this trend and make a quick buck."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi was equally enraged and joined in the cursing, "She's gone too far! How dare she sell counterfeit goods!"
Just then, He Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly and smug smile: "Fortunately, the dolls she sells simply cannot reach the price we set beforehand."
“Those powerful and wealthy families have always had extremely high requirements for the quality of goods. They wouldn’t even give a second glance to such crudely made, inferior products. They would all go to the velvet cloth shop to buy genuine products.”
"Only ordinary people who want to save some money would be willing to patronize her little stall."
As He Yang spoke, he glanced at Yun Zhizhi standing beside him and then asked, "Boss, your reputation outside is now worlds apart from what it used to be!"
Do you know how many ordinary people outside regard you?
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi gently shook her head, her face full of doubt, indicating that she knew nothing about it.
Seeing this, He Yang quickly stepped closer and said with a smile, "They all regard you as the high and mighty, unattainable white moonlight in their hearts."
"I completely agree that they see you as their ideal woman."
"In my opinion, you are the white moonlight, while Lin Qianyu is at most leftover food!"
Hearing his amusing and vivid analogy, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The laughter was crisp and melodious, echoing in the air like silver bells.
Unexpectedly, she became someone else's ideal woman in ancient times.
Hearing what He Yang said, Yun Zhizhi dared not risk going out, so she had no choice but to instruct Zhao Wu to find some skilled bricklayers.
At the beginning of the hour of You (5-7 PM), the afterglow of the setting sun gently fell upon the earth like a golden veil.
At this moment, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees in the courtyard.
As Lan Yangyang's birthday approached, Yun Zhizhi sat quietly in the exquisite pavilion, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, lost in deep thought.
She was racking her brains trying to think of a gift to give to Lazy Yangyang, who was both her friend and partner.
Just then, a soft sound of footsteps approached from afar, breaking the silence.
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Zhizhi looked over and saw Zhao Yunjin walking towards them with elegant steps.
What are you thinking about?
Zhao Yunjin's voice was clear and cold, yet it had a unique pleasing quality, like the sound of a mountain spring flowing over jade.
Yun Zhizhi turned around and smiled, her beauty as radiant as a flower blooming in spring, and said softly, "Why did you suddenly come?"
"Didn't you say before that you had a tricky case that required the assistance of your prosecutor's office? Did you finish it so quickly?"
Zhao Yunjin strode up to her side: "Yes, the case has been successfully resolved."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite box from his pocket and handed it to Yun Zhizhi, continuing, "So I came to see you and brought the jewelry that the Crown Princess asked me to give you."
Yun Zhizhi blinked her bright, watery eyes, took the box with a puzzled look on her face, and quickly asked, "Why would the Crown Princess suddenly send me a gift?"
Zhao Yunjin patiently explained, "The Crown Princess really enjoys your cooking, so she specially prepared this gift to express her gratitude."
Yun Zhizhi suddenly realized what was going on, and then gently opened the box in her hand.
When she saw the crystal-clear, warm and smooth jade hairpin inside the box, she exclaimed in surprise, "This jade hairpin is too precious! Compared to the meal I made, it's nothing!"
"I am really embarrassed to accept such a precious gift."
Zhao Yunjin stretched out her slender fingers and gently pinched her rosy cheeks: "This is a token of the Crown Princess's affection, so just accept it obediently!"
Then, he paused for a moment, looked at her tenderly, and said slowly, "Also, the Crown Princess has been suffering from morning sickness for the past few days. She can't eat anything and has lost a lot of weight."
"But strangely enough, it is only the dishes you make that are particularly to her liking. That's why the Crown Prince came to me specifically to ask you to make some more dishes to send to the Crown Princess."
"However, I refused."
