This time, Shen Shoufu was lucky enough to drink the sweet soup.
It tastes really good, no wonder Yan Bao likes it.
Looking at the sticky taro balls and the chewy cassava syrup, Chief Minister Shen regretted not bringing his wife with him.
She likes sweets, so she will definitely like this sweet but not greasy syrup.
Thinking of this, Shen Shoufu realized that he missed his wife.
This was the first time the couple had been apart for such a long time.
Normally, no matter how busy he is, Shen Shoufu always goes home after dark. As long as he goes back, he can see her gentle smile and caring eyes. With just one look, Shen Shoufu feels that everything is worth it.
It warms my heart to have her around.
After Shen Shoufu finished a bowl of sugar water, he asked the sugar water girl: “This cassava doesn’t seem to be a product here.”
The girl was stunned for a moment. Shen Shoufu saw this subtle movement, but he saw through it but did not say anything.
The girl with the syrup lied, "Master Shen is right. This isn't a local product. My uncle is a bodyguard, and he's traveled extensively, so he's seen a lot of local things. This cassava was brought back from the southern barbarians. My uncle also told me how to make this syrup."
"I see." Shen Shoufu was curious: "What's the girl's uncle's name? Which escort agency does he work for?"
Seeing that she was about to be exposed, the girl's expression changed. In front of the shrewd Prime Minister, she couldn't hide her thoughts at all, and it was obvious at a glance that she was talking nonsense.
Yan Bao couldn't bear it any longer and tugged at her father's sleeve: "Oh, Daddy, I'm not a bad person. Why are you interrogating me so seriously? Be careful not to scare your future sister-in-law or you'll be single forever!"
Shen Shoufu: “….”
Just...just her?
When reminded by Yan Bao's inner voice, Shen Shoufu remembered his son who was said to be a gigolo in the future.
I heard Yan Bao mutter before that his second daughter-in-law was very rich.
Look at the simple little stall in front of me, with a few buckets of sugar water, and a bowl costs between eight and twelve cents.
Even if you sell a thousand bowls a day, it would only make about ten taels of silver.
Ten taels seems like a lot. How much is his monthly salary?
Shen Shoufu suddenly felt that being an official was not as good as selling sugar water and making a high daily income!
Of course, the premise is that she can sell a thousand bowls a day?
The answer is no.
Never mind that. The Shen family is rich anyway. When the time comes, they can give more dowry...bah, betrothal gifts to avoid people suffering losses.
Second Brother Shen didn’t know that he was almost married off in his father’s heart.
The main thing is the little girl in front of me. Although she is not very thin and has big eyes, her skin is a bit dark.
And these teeth make me feel like I don’t need to peel the melon when eating it, I can just scrape it off with my teeth.
Shen Shoufu was not a person who judged people by appearance. He knew that the appearance of this little girl was definitely not to the liking of the second brother. No wonder the second brother ran away so quickly. Could it be that something would happen in the future that would make the second brother change his mind and focus on the inner qualities rather than the appearance?
Soon, Yan Bao gave Shen Shoufu the answer: [Dad, don’t look at the future second sister-in-law as unremarkable now, even a little ugly, you don’t understand, a little girl goes out, not only her identity is given by herself, but also her face. ]
If the future Second Sister-in-law reveals her true appearance, she'll probably be even more sought after than that pancake beauty. Besides, Second Sister-in-law is all alone, so she'll easily be targeted by the bad guy Reen!
[It's right for the Second Sister-in-law to dress up as an ugly girl. It can avoid a lot of trouble. Otherwise, many people come for her face. If she encounters some people with ulterior motives, won't the Second Sister-in-law be in trouble?]
Shen Shoufu grasped the key points and deliberately acted ugly?
Although he was embarrassed to stare at a little girl, Shen Shoufu's sharp eyes swept over and he did find some clues, such as her face was dark, but her hands were very white and clean, and her nails were trimmed to the right length and there was no dirt.
Her hair was neatly tied into a bun, a hairstyle suitable for her age.
As for the teeth, Shen Shoufu really couldn’t tell, how could he disguise the teeth?
You can't knock your teeth out, right?
Shen Shoufu didn't know that there was a kind of braces in the world that could become tooth braces when put on teeth.
Unsightly teeth can greatly affect a person's appearance.
Yan Bao knew that her second sister-in-law was wearing dentures and deliberately making herself look ugly so that people would not pay attention to her.
Others may not know, but Yan Bao knows it clearly.
Seeing that Chief Minister Shen was no longer staring at her, the girl in the sweet soup secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Yan Bao who had interrupted her with gratitude, and decided to treat her to sweet soup the next time Yan Bao came.
Chief Assistant Shen no longer asked about the identity of the sweet soup girl’s uncle, and said as he left: “The little girl’s sweet soup is well made, I wonder what to call it?”
This time, the girl didn't hide anything. She smiled and said, "My name is Tao, and my name is Yuanyuan."
"Miss Tao's sweet soup is delicious. I'll come again next time I have the chance."
Shen Shoufu asked someone to pay the bill, but Tao Yuanyuan refused: "This meal, I will treat you to some sweet soup. You have eliminated harm for the people and you deserve my love."
Shen Shoufu waved his hand: "It is my duty to eliminate harm for the people. I cannot take advantage of the people. Take the money."
Tao Yuanyuan had no choice but to accept the silver and watched the majestic and calm Shen Shoufu leave.
Yan Bao followed, walked a few steps, turned around and waved to her future sister-in-law, smiling sweetly.
Tao Yuanyuan smiled back. She always thought she was so cute every time she saw her. She didn't know how her parents gave birth to her.
Come to think of it, Shen Shoufu was a handsome guy when he was young, and he was the kind of handsome guy with a jade-like appearance. Yan Bao looks like this, and her mother is not bad either.
Besides, as soon as they appeared, they were the most beautiful kids on the street. The climate and soil of the capital are good for nourishing people.
When Tao Yuanyuan saw Yan Bao and his group, her eyes lit up. They were all good-looking, big and small.
