Chapter 250 Confirming the Recipe
When Old Hu opened the door and saw Jiang Hongyu, his face was filled with joy: "Master, you're back?"
"Yunniang, go and inform the Madam and the Young Madam that the Young Master is back." Old Hu said to the gatehouse.
"No need, I can go there by myself." Jiang Hongyu walked towards the backyard as he spoke.
Ye Mingzhu had already come out when she heard the sound, with a bright smile on her face.
"I'm back." Jiang Hongyu walked quickly to Ye Mingzhu, stretched out his hand, and held her in his arms.
Ye Mingzhu was surrounded by his breath, her hand slowly reached to his waist, and the two hugged each other.
"Brother-in-law..." Ye Yun'an's voice came from a distance and was grabbed by Aunt Jiang.
"Shh..." Aunt Jiang pulled him, "Wait a minute before going over."
Only then did Ye Yun'an realize that his sister and brother-in-law were hugging each other. He covered his mouth with his hands and rolled his eyes around like a naughty squirrel.
Jiang Hongyu heard the noise and let go of Ye Mingzhu although he was reluctant.
Ye Yun'an had been staring at them. When he saw the two of them separate, he immediately rushed out: "Brother-in-law, you're back? You were gone for a long time this time. My sister missed you."
"What are you talking about, kid?" Ye Mingzhu's face turned red and she knocked Ye Yun'an on the head.
"What I said is the truth. I saw you holding your brother-in-law's clothes... Ouch..." Before Ye Yun'an could finish his words, Ye Mingzhu hit him on the head again.
"Let's talk inside. Hongyu, are you hungry? Let Yunniang cook something for you." Aunt Jiang invited a few people into the house to help Ye Yun'an out.
"Now that mom mentioned that, I really feel a little hungry." Jiang Hongyu touched his stomach: "I've only been eating fish recently, how about a bowl of noodles?"
"I'll tell Yunniang to cut a piece of bacon and put it in the noodles. It will be the most delicious." Ye Yun'an jumped up and ran to the front yard.
"Bring a few side dishes over and let your brother-in-law eat first." Ye Mingzhu called Ye Yun'an, and he waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
"Brother Yu, do you want to change your clothes and take a shower first?" Aunt Jiang knew that Jiang Hongyu loved cleanliness. He had stayed on the island for so long this time, and he must have washed up before eating when he came back.
"Then I'll go wash up first and then come out to talk to you." Jiang Hongyu had been feeling a little itchy.
"Then go to the bathroom first, I'll get you some clean clothes." Ye Mingzhu said and went into the house.
Ever since Yunniang and Lao Hu came into our family, there has always been hot water in the kitchen. If we want to take a shower, we can just bring the hot water to the bathroom.
Jiang Hongyu took a bath for half an hour. If Ye Mingzhu hadn't said that the noodles were cooked, he would have wanted to soak for a while longer.
Although the work he did on the island was not very tiring, his nerves were too tense. Only when he returned home did he feel the tension relax. He felt extremely sleepy for a while and yawned several times involuntarily while eating noodles.
Ye Mingzhu noticed his tiredness and said distressedly, "Go to sleep for a while after dinner. We can talk about anything when you wake up."
Although Jiang Hongyu was tired, he could still hold on. He asked Ye Mingzhu to tell him what had happened some time ago.
Ye Mingzhu had already guessed that Fu Chengyun would tell Jiang Hongyu about what happened some time ago, so she did not hide it and told him everything.
"We all guessed that Young Master Yu was looking for ancient books and military manuals, so he was so excited when he found the paper." Ye Mingzhu expressed her guess.
"But how did he know that there were ancient books and military books in that small courtyard?" This was what Ye Mingzhu couldn't figure out.
If someone knew that there were ancient books and military manuals buried in that yard, why didn't anyone go there to look for them or dig them out over the years?
"I guess the owner of the book must have left some traces, or given them to future generations, or left clues, and they happened to find them, so they came to look for them." Jiang Hongyu is more inclined to believe that the young master surnamed Yu must have discovered the clues.
"By the way, Fu Chengyun said that the man and Yu Jiaming are from the same clan. What do you think, should we go and ask Yu Jiaming?" Ye Mingzhu remembered something else.
Jiang Hongyu nodded: "I should invite Brother Yu and Master Fu to dinner later. Fortunately, we have their help this time, otherwise it would not have been so easy to get through."
"We'll be sending some stuff to Zhuangzi in a few days, so let's send some to Yu Jiaming as well."
"I'll write a letter to Brother Yu to express my gratitude later." Jiang Hongyu thought for a moment, "I'm going to do some shopping in town tomorrow and will be back early the day after tomorrow. Next time I come back, I'll go to the county to see Brother Yu."
"Hmm," Ye Mingzhu looked at him and yawned again, a little amused: "Can we go to bed now?"
Jiang Hongyu really felt tired, so he didn't refuse anymore and went back to his room to sleep yawning.
Ye Mingzhu put away the dishes he had used and brought them to the kitchen, called Yunniang, and the two of them went out to the street together.
Ye Mingzhu and Yunniang were both deeply impressed by the room full of things Fu Chengyun bought when he went back last time, so they bought things directly according to that standard.
When Jiang Hongyu woke up, he was shocked to see half the room filled with things. "Why did you buy so many things?"
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Last time when Master Fu went back, he bought so many things. We estimated that you would have bought about the same amount this time, so we bought some first. If you see anything else you need, we can buy more tomorrow."
Jiang Hongyu walked in and took a look. He felt a little funny and warm at the same time. "Last time, Master Fu bought something with his own money."
It was his fault for coming back late, and he felt guilty. Besides, the Fu family was rich, so it was still possible for them to buy some food for the officers and soldiers who were traveling with him.
Jiang Hongyu's status is different from his. It would be very strange if he had a large amount of money to buy things. If it attracted some people's investigation, it would be more trouble than gain.
"You guys have almost finished what you bought. I'll just go buy some more vegetables tomorrow."
After returning home, Jiang Hongyu felt very relaxed.
Ye Mingzhu knew that she had helped him, and the smile on her face became brighter: "We bought some meat and will make dumplings tonight."
The ancients attached great importance to reunion dumplings. Although today is not a holiday, it is a reunion festival, which is a good time to eat dumplings.
"I also bought a chicken and a fish and cooked them tonight. You've lost weight during your time on the island, so this is a good time to replenish your weight."
Ye Mingzhu showed Jiang Hongyu the things she bought.
Every time they took out something, the two of them talked about what to cook. In a short while, they had already ordered five or six dishes.
"Okay, these dishes are almost enough. We can make the rest tomorrow." Aunt Jiang found it a little funny to see Ye Mingzhu eager to cook all the dishes.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the pile of things on the ground, and her face turned red when she saw Aunt Jiang's teasing gaze.
