Chapter 237: The Prince's Mansion
Li took the bundle and tears flowed down her face unconsciously. She wiped her tears and said:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
She touched the package again and said, "Dunzi always brings a lot of things with him every time he comes back. I don't ask him to bring anything home, I just hope he can take good care of himself.
Why take such good food back home instead of keeping it for yourself?
Xie Shuangbai said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao is not far from Yuxue Mountain. He can buy food anytime he wants. Isn't he thinking of you? You must eat it all and don't save him money!"
Li smiled and said, "Yes, we won't save him any money. Why don't you all stay at home for lunch? We can just cook these newly acquired mountain products!"
Xie Shuangbai saw that she was the only one at home and was afraid it would be inconvenient for her to stay for dinner.
He declined politely, "Don't bother me, sister-in-law. I have other things to do today. I'll definitely come again when Brother Zhao comes back!"
Mrs. Li also realized that it was indeed not very convenient. She smiled and said, "Okay, since you still have something to do, Mr. Xie, then next time, I will definitely show you all my special skills!"
"Okay, then it's a deal. Next time I'll definitely try my sister-in-law's cooking!"
Rong Chi drank goat milk obediently the whole time, and Zhao Dunzi's son looked at him curiously.
Li looked at Zhao Houcai and called out, "Houcai, come here and meet your Uncle Xie."
When Xie Shuangbai heard Zhao Houcai calling him uncle, he inexplicably felt that a lot of time had been stolen from him.
Xie Shuangbai hadn't brought any valuable gifts with him today. He looked at the white jade pendant around his waist and said, "This jade pendant is quite exquisitely crafted. I'm giving it to my nephew as a gift!"
Li looked at the fine white jade in Zhao Houcai's hand. It was beautifully carved and obviously worth a lot of money.
Li quickly took it and wanted to return it to Xie Shuangbai: "No, no, it's too valuable!"
"Sister-in-law, this is my gift. Besides, my friendship with Brother Zhao is just a piece of jade. If you refuse, I will be very sad!"
"This..." As a woman, Li had no idea what to do.
She was hesitating when Xie Shuangbai said, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now."
Li held the white jade in her hand and said blankly, "Hey, okay, I, I'll give it to you!"
Li took Zhao Houcai and walked them to the door.
Xie Shuangbai stood in front of the carriage: "Sister-in-law, please come in quickly. Thank you for your hospitality today!"
Li was a little confused: "Of course, of course!"
Xie Shuangbai nodded at her, pulled Rong Chi into the carriage, and the guards escorted them away.
Li didn't react until the carriage left the alley.
"Mom," Zhao Houcai hadn't finished speaking when the aunt from next door came out.
"Hey, Zhao family, you're used to living in our alley, right? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. We're all neighbors!"
The aunt looked Li up and down and saw that she was holding a piece of fine white jade. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is fine white jade. Was it given to you by that noble person just now?"
This was rude, so Li smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, there's something cooking on the fire at home. I'll go home first!"
After saying that, Li pulled Zhao Houcai and closed the door.
Aunt Wang was stunned. She glanced at the door and muttered, "Humph! Just being rich is such a big deal!"
After saying that, he twisted his body and went home!
In less than half a day, everyone in Shanren Lane knew that the new family that moved into their lane was extraordinary, knew important people, and was very rich!
"Chi'er, are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Rong Chi licked his lips: "Little Daddy, I want to eat spicy skewers!"
Xie Shuangbai didn't expect that this little guy had the stomach of a Sichuan or Chongqing person and loved spicy food so much.
"Okay, let's go back and eat skewers!"
The carriage stopped before it reached the palace.
Seeing that they had not yet reached the palace, Xie Shuangbai asked, "Why did Rong Wu stop?"
Rong Wu: "There's a group of people gathered before we return to the master's residence."
"What are you going to see?"
Jiang Feng finally found out the location of the palace.
He tried to get close to the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper ignored him. He had no choice but to act like a spoiled child and cry in front of the door.
Yudi was so scared that he dared not move, thinking to himself, "Master, you are so brave! I still want to live!"
The people around looked at Jiang Feng crying miserably.
An aunt said, "Young man, the prince is kind, how could he do this to your brother? Are you mistaken?"
"That's right, don't wrongly accuse the prince!"
The crowd was talking at once, giving Manager Wang a headache. He couldn't force the troublemaker away at this moment, otherwise it would bring discredit to the prince.
"Who is causing trouble?"
Rong Wu shouted loudly.
As soon as he appeared in front of everyone, Steward Wang immediately recognized him and knew that it was the princess who had returned!
He was like seeing a savior: "Master Rong Wu, there is a ruffian making trouble in front of the palace, and I can't take him away by force, you see...!"
As soon as Jiang Feng saw the person coming, he knew that this person was not an ordinary servant. Seeing that the person in charge was so polite, he must be someone close to an important person.
"You're the one causing trouble?"
"I'm wronged. I'm not causing any trouble. I just want to find my brother. I hope you can help me."
"Your brother?"
Rong Wu came to the carriage and reported, "Master, I have inquired clearly. The person causing the trouble is looking for Si Yuzhu who came from the capital."
Xie Shuangbai silently recited: "Si Yuzhu."
"Bring the people in first. It's not appropriate to make a scene at the door."
"I have already ordered someone to take them in."
Xie Shuangbai: "Then let's go back home first."
Rong Wu: “Yes!”
As soon as Xie Shuangbai entered the yard, he told Xiaochun and the others to make skewers and asked them to ask someone to string the vegetables.
Xie Shuangbai went to get the ingredients. It was still cold, so he decided not to eat cold pot skewers.
Soon a spicy aroma wafted through the yard.
Since Jiang Feng and Yu Di were brought to the mansion and thrown into the reception room, no one has paid any attention to them. There is not even a maid to pour water for them.
Yudi was so hungry that he was powerless: "Master, didn't you say you could have a meal?"
Jiang Feng was depressed: "Who knew the palace was so stingy!"
Yudi was the one who really wanted to cry. The royal palace was already the most benevolent and righteous, considering the farce that the young master had just put on.
Among the wealthy families in the capital, every one of them would drag someone in and beat them up without any reason.
Sometimes he really didn't know whether the young master was really smart or just stupid.
However, he only dared to think about this in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.
Si Yuzhu has been sleeping since she came back. The others must have been sleeping too, as no one heard any sound.
As soon as noon arrived, someone delivered their meal to them on time.
Yan Tai saw that the young master was still asleep, and it was not appropriate for him to eat alone, so he waited for him.
Si Yuzhu is a light sleeper and I just woke him up when I brought him food.
"Master, you're awake! Someone just delivered some food, it's still hot, you can eat it as soon as you wake up!"
Si Yuzhu rubbed his head and said, "Pour me a glass of water."
Yantai poured him some water and said, "You eat first. I'm not hungry right now."
"Even if you're not hungry, you should eat something. You haven't been feeling well, so you can't not eat!"
Yan Tai thought the food was very good and advised him to eat some.
Si Yuzhu took a look and found that most of the food was vegetarian, which was indeed quite good.
"Give me some of that tofu."
