"Master, please wait a moment. I asked Xiao Xu to go to Manjianghong Restaurant to buy some wine and dishes. I was planning to send them to Ziwan tonight."
"Oh, then I'm in for a treat!" Yun Yishu raised an eyebrow.
The two waited at the door for a while, and then saw Xiao Xu running over from a distance, carrying a food box in his hand.
"Shopkeeper, the food is all inside."
Xiao Xu glanced at Chu Dunshi, who gave him a look, and Xiao Xu handed the food box to Yun Yishu.
"Chu Dunshi, is this food enough for the three of us?"
Yun Yishu weighed the food box in his hand and asked.
"That's enough, that's enough, I bought a lot of different styles."
Chu Dunshi nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you can go back now, we're leaving."
Yun Yishu and Shi Tou took the food box, got into the carriage, and headed towards Silk Road.
The carriage moved slowly across the blue brick pavement of the capital, and Yun Yishu looked at the shops lining both sides of the street.
Despite the cold weather, the vendors still set up their stalls, preparing to welcome the customers who would arrive that evening.
The soft glow of the setting sun spilled across the red bricks and green tiles, while the pinkish-red sunset illuminated the brightly colored pavilions and flying eaves, adding a touch of haziness and poetry to the bustling night scene of Beijing.
Upon arriving at the silk shop, Yun Yishu warmly entered and asked Ziwan questions.
"Ziwan, shall we have dinner together?"
"Hey, boss, did you bring food with you?"
Ziwan stared at the food box that Shi Tou was carrying.
"Yes, I just came from Brother Chu's place. This meal was prepared for you by her. I'm just here to freeload."
Yun Yishu smiled and pulled Ziwan inside.
"Haha, come in, come in quickly."
The group went into the inner room, sat down, and ate together. "Come on, let me see what delicious food Chu Dunshi has prepared!"
Yun Yishu opened the food box and took out the dishes inside.
Yun Yishu looked at the six small dishes on the table: four vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, and one staple food.
Braised eel with silver teeth, steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried pork slices with white mushrooms, white glutinous rice with chrysanthemum greens, corn with pine nuts, stir-fried bok choy, and steamed cakes.
The colors are vibrant; green is green, white is white, and yellow is yellow. The colors are very bright, and the aroma is irresistible, making you want to devour it.
"Oh, there's pine nut corn, sesame steamed cakes, and sweet and sour pork ribs—all sweet dishes! Looks like they're all Ziwan's favorites! Brother Chu really cares about you," Yun Yishu said, looking at the dishes on the table.
Ziwan's face flushed slightly.
Yun Yishu scooped up a spoonful of pine nut corn and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, it's really sweet and delicious. The rich aroma of corn is fully brought out."
After chatting for a while about the business in the silk trade, Yun Yishu asked, "Ziwan, what do you think of Brother Chu?"
Yun Yishu picked up a piece of sesame steamed cake and placed it in her bowl, asking seemingly casually.
"Yes, Brother Chu is very caring and has a good business sense. He taught me a lot about things in the silk business."
Yun Yishu winked at Shi Tou.
"So, if someone like Chu Dunshi were to take care of you in the future, would you be willing?"
Yun Yishu asked the question, trying to phrase it as tactfully as possible.
However, for Liao Ziwan, this question was still too direct.
"I……"
Liao Ziwan's voice stopped abruptly after uttering the word "I." Yun Yishu smiled and looked at Ziwan, encouraging her to continue.
"I, of course I'm willing."
Ziwan wrapped the handkerchief around her hand, spoke in a low voice, and her face turned completely red after she finished speaking.
"All done!"
Yun Yishu clapped his hands, very satisfied with his success in acting as a matchmaker and facilitating a marriage.
"By the way, has Uncle Liao already arrived in Jiangnan?" Yun Yishu asked.
"Yes, my father has been away from the capital for some time now."
A few days ago, Liao Ziwan's father sent silk to the capital, and then returned home.
"Ziwan, would you like to bring your parents to the capital?"
"I do think about it, but it would be wonderful if the whole family could live together."
"The silk business is doing well now, and in a while we'll be able to buy a small courtyard house. But I just don't know if the two elders will be willing."
Ziwan stammered out these words.
"Um."
Yun Yishu pondered for a moment, then nodded.
After the three finished eating, Shi Tou and Zi Wan cleared away the bowls together.
"Ziwan, it gets dark early now, so you should close the door earlier too."
"Okay, drive carefully on your way back."
After saying goodbye, Yun Yishu boarded a carriage to return to the palace.
“Shi Tou, go tell Chu Dunshi that Zi Wan likes him. As for the marriage proposal, I think it would be best to let him go to Jiangnan with Zi Wan to meet her parents, or bring her parents over.”
"Yes, I understand."
"After you deliver the message, go back to the palace. It's getting dark, so be careful on the road."
Yun Yishu looked at the sky and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
【Duoduo, who will you marry in the future?】
I must find the best husband in the world for Duoduo!
...
Five days later, the sun shone brightly. The snow that had fallen for several days stopped last night, as if foreshadowing a wonderful journey.
Inside Fu Shuang Palace, Granny Liu had prepared breakfast early in the morning, and she instructed the palace maids to set the breakfast on the table.
She suddenly felt a little empty inside. Now that the princess was leaving, she didn't know how many days it would be before she could see her again. She felt a pang of reluctance.
only……
Granny Liu looked at the table, which seemed a little unsteady, with a puzzled expression.
