At that moment, several elderly women were gathered in the courtyard of a house in a small alley in Beijing.
One of the plump women said, "Have you heard? Yesterday was the Sixth Prince's wedding. He invited all the officials, big and small, to the wedding banquet, but he didn't invite Prime Minister Yu's family at all. Oh dear, I feel so ashamed for them!"
Another thin old woman grinned, "Hehe! Every cause has its effect. Who would have thought that the retribution for Prime Minister Yu's family would be the Sixth Prince!"
At this moment, another short, middle-aged woman chimed in, "That's right! I also heard that when Prime Minister Yu returned from the morning court session, his face looked as pale as a wilted eggplant."
"Now everyone on the street is laughing at their family. They deserve it!"
Everyone burst into laughter and continued their discussion, chattering away.
The plump old woman exclaimed with a beaming smile, "Oh my! I'm so envious of those people who went to the Imperial Palace for the wedding yesterday. They were so lucky to get to taste five kinds of rare delicacies that the Sixth Imperial Concubine used to sell."
"Moreover, when they left after a hearty meal, each family received a generous gift. This is the first time I've ever heard of receiving a gift for attending a wedding at someone's home!"
The short, middle-aged woman chimed in, "I heard there are lots of good stuff in the souvenirs. Not only are there lipsticks, essential oils, dolls, and snacks that the Sixth Princess used to sell, but there are also lip balms and moisturizing creams that I've never seen before. These are rare items that you can't buy even if you have money!"
"I heard that the idea of giving guests gifts was conceived by the Sixth Princess Consort. I guess only a remarkable woman like her could come up with such a novel and unique idea."
Yun Zhizhi never imagined that this novel custom of giving wedding favors would spread from word of mouth among the people of the capital to many places in Chu Yun Kingdom.
Especially wealthy families who care a lot about appearances are very particular about what they give as gifts.
If it's something that truly touches the hearts of the guests, they'll definitely be showered with praise.
If it's not delivered properly, you're bound to get a lot of complaints.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, it casts a golden afterglow.
Zhao Yunjin finally managed to get rid of her master and Doctor Zhou, those two noisy old men.
At this moment, he and Yun Zhizhi were sitting in an exquisite pavilion in the villa.
Let's prepare to enjoy a moment of tranquility together, sipping fragrant tea and reading ancient books.
Enjoy some time alone together.
Unexpectedly, another unexpected obstacle appeared out of nowhere.
He Yang, with his little dog 'Big White' on his leash, squeezed in between the two of them without any sense of propriety.
While cracking open some spiced melon seeds, he asked with a grin, "Boss, now that you're married, shouldn't we start preparing for the next round of stall setups?"
Yun Zhizhi blinked, looked up at him, and asked, "When did you become so enthusiastic?"
He Yang pursed his lips, "Yesterday."
He was severely provoked.
The eldest brother has already found his other half and gotten married, while he is still all alone.
Since love isn't going well, why not focus on making money?
Yun Zhizhi grinned, "I'll let you know when I've decided where to set up my stall and what to sell in the next couple of days!"
She was originally planning to slack off for a few more days, but since Lazy Yangyang has become so proactive, she might as well focus on making money!
Looks like I'll have to ask Little Winter Melon about it later.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, He Yang ate sunflower seeds with even more enthusiasm.
"These sunflower seeds smell delicious!"
Zhao Yunjin frowned slightly, and glanced at He Yang with her deep, pool-like eyes.
Why is this guy still lingering here? He's standing between me and Yun Zhizhi like a log, he's really getting in the way!
So, Zhao Yunjin deftly peeled open a round, plump, sweet orange.
Then, she gently broke off a segment of orange flesh, slowly stretched out her arm, and fed the segment to Yun Zhizhi's mouth in front of He Yang.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhizhi was slightly taken aback at first, but then she understood and opened her cherry-like mouth to put the orange pulp into her mouth.
Instantly, a sweet juice filled her mouth, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes and say in a sweet voice, "So sweet!"
Immediately afterward, as if responding to Zhao Yunjin's earlier action, Yun Zhizhi quickly picked out a White Rabbit milk candy from the plate on the table.
Skillfully tearing off the thin outer layer of oil paper, and then without hesitation, in front of He Yang again, feeding the milky-scented candy into Zhao Yunjin's mouth.
Zhao Yunjin put the milk candy in her mouth, feeling the sweet taste spreading on her tongue.
The corners of his lips unconsciously turned up slightly, outlining a charming curve, and his originally cold and stern face became exceptionally gentle at this moment. "So sweet!"
He Yang: "..."
He couldn't help but mutter to himself: You guys are so sweet! But I'm so bitter!
He regretted it.
Why invite trouble by getting caught in the middle between them?
Having been force-fed two mouthfuls of dog food all at once, He Yang felt that even the sunflower seeds in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.
Seeing He Yang suddenly stand up and about to slip away with Da Bai, Yun Zhizhi quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
He Yang turned around with a flourish, "Ready to head home."
"Don't rush off! Stay and have dinner before you go!"
He Yang shook his head vigorously, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not hungry at all."
He feels full just from eating all your dog food.
