These children possess a vitality that adults have gradually lost; they do everything with high spirits.
In just over half a month, everyone had mastered the riding skills.
But Liu Yingying was still worried.
For safety reasons, she specifically asked a horse dealer for several sub-adult ponies, which were just the right height for the children.
On the first day, Liu Yingying hired a group of children to go from street to street in the four major urban districts to promote the shops.
Of course, the main purpose is to promote the "takeout" business.
This delighted the loyal customers in the three major urban districts of the southeast and west!
Originally, if they wanted to have a meal of skewers, they had to send their servants on horseback early in the morning, which would take at least an hour or two to make the round trip.
Now, they only need to place their orders one day in advance, and the deliveryman will bring them to their door the next day.
Delivery drivers cover a wide area, so customers usually don't need to go to the store to place an order in person.
Because these delivery drivers always shout out in the surrounding area when they deliver food, letting everyone know they're coming.
At this point, people who want to place an order will take the initiative to stop them, tell the delivery driver what food they need, and the food will be delivered to their door in no time.
As a result, Sister Liu's skewers shop became increasingly popular. Liu Yingying, Zhang Hui, and others were busy from dawn till dusk every day, but the skewers were still in short supply...
Because her shop is so popular, Liu Yingying has stopped seeing patients recently.
She really doesn't have time!
Xue Ye saw this thriving scene and couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.
Clearly, she was much more at ease in the capital than in Furong County!
People strive for better opportunities; would she really want to go back?
Time flies, and winter is here in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the entire capital was covered with a thick layer of white snow, as if it were specially prepared to welcome the arrival of a distinguished guest…
There is a great joyous occasion at the Prince of Lin'an's mansion today.
For the past two weeks, the Princess of Lin'an has been personally overseeing all the preparations, both inside and out, to welcome her youngest daughter, who has been married off to the Northwest, back home.
Who in the capital doesn't know that Jiang Yuyan, the young princess of the Prince of Lin'an's mansion, is the apple of the princess's eye? Even all of her sons combined can't compare to this daughter.
This princess was born into wealth and privilege, and after she came of age, the northwest was in turmoil.
In order to stabilize the situation in the northwest and win over the Prince of Zhenxi, the emperor thought of using marriage as a means of alliance.
However, he did not have a princess of suitable age at the time, so he thought of his confidante, Princess Jiang Yuyan of the Lin'an Prince's family, who was intelligent, kind-hearted, and naturally beautiful!
An imperial edict was issued, betrothing Jiang Yuyan to Zhao Le, the Prince of Zhenxi.
From then on, Princess Ning'an became the renowned Princess Consort of Zhenxi.
Their glory and power were unparalleled for a time!
However, the fact that her daughter had married far away in the Northwest and had been unable to return to the capital to visit her family for many years was a deep pain in the heart of the Princess of Lin'an!
Now that her daughter has finally returned home, the old princess wants to treat her to the best of everything in the entire palace.
The day after the Princess Consort of Zhenxi returned to her parents' home, a grand winter banquet was held at the Prince's Mansion in Lin'an.
She invited her close friends from the past in Beijing to a gathering.
Of course, besides those close female friends, most of the people who came were hoping to curry favor with the Prince of Lin'an's Mansion and the Prince of Zhenxi, hoping to use them to rise to great heights...
Pei Lanyi was also on the guest list for this banquet, although given the Pei family's status, there was no need for them to curry favor with the two princesses.
However, it just so happens that the Princess of Lin'an is the aunt of her fiancé, Shangguan Ren. With this relationship, the women of the Pei family inevitably have to visit each other.
It wasn't until late afternoon, around 3 PM, that Pei Lanyi and her two girlfriends walked out of the Lin'an Prince's Mansion one after the other.
"This Princess Consort of Zhenxi is truly magnificent; her aura is almost on par with that of the Empress, the mother of the nation!"
The speaker was Kuang Wei'er, the daughter of Grand Secretary Kuang. Her tone was sour, but a hint of jealousy and envy flickered in her eyes...
Pei Lanyi didn't even glance at her, continuing to walk out with her head held high, and suddenly scoffed, "In a family like ours, which legitimate daughter hasn't paid her respects to His Majesty and the Empress in the palace?"
"Her Majesty the Empress is a true phoenix from the heavens, with a dignified and noble bearing, and she is quite kind to us noble ladies."
"And look at that woman inside, no matter how I look at her, she has the air of a petty person who has achieved success!"
"Lan Yi, you must be careful what you say. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, it could be disastrous!"
Kuang Weier and another noblewoman looked at her nervously.
Pei Lanyi, however, scoffed dismissively and directly issued a threat;
"There are only the three of us and our respective personal maids here. My servants naturally wouldn't dare to say anything. If anyone knows what I just said, it can only be you who told them..."
Having said that, he swept his arrogant gaze over the two young ladies.
Kuang Weier and the other noblewoman froze for a moment, then quickly smiled and explained;
"Lan Yi, what kind of people do you take us for? We grew up together since we were little! How could we betray you?"
Pei Lanyi then raised her chin in satisfaction and said nothing more.
At this moment, Kuang Wei'er seemed to suddenly remember something.
“Our family recently opened a new garden, and my father had many exotic flowers and plants from the Western Regions transplanted into it. Yesterday, I also had someone order takeout from Sister Liu's skewers shop in Taipei, and it should be delivered by now. Why don't you come back with me, Pei Lanyi, for a while?”
"Wei'er, you are the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Censorate, how come you are eating such lowly and despicable food?"
Mentioning Sister Liu's skewers shop, Pei Lanyi felt a surge of anger, and her voice involuntarily rose, carrying a sharp questioning tone.
"Also, what kind of takeout are you talking about?"
After their scheme against Liu Yingying failed, the servants in the mansion dared not mention any news about her in front of her again.
Therefore, Pei Lanyi was unaware that Liu Yingying had already started a food delivery business.
Kuang Weier was unaware of the feud between Pei Lanyi and Liu Yingying, and was still explaining.
"Actually, I initially thought the same as you, that this kind of thing didn't deserve to be presented to us."
"But look at it now, everyone in the capital, regardless of their status, loves eating skewers, and they really are delicious. You should try them; you might just fall in love with the taste..."
Unexpectedly, the more she talked, the more strange Pei Lanyi's expression became. Her beautiful eyes swept over, startling Kuang Weier into choking back her words.
"Lanyi, you..."
Pei Lanyi: "In short, I will not eat the filthy food made by such lowly people, and you are not allowed to eat it either!"
"If I find out you're eating her food again... humph, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, he left Kuang Weier and her companion behind, and with a group of maids, got into the carriage and left.
The two people were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
