Returning to the palace, Yu Zheng asked the cook to come and discuss it with him personally.
The cook was very knowledgeable and received a large sum of silver reward, so he quickly wrote down the recipe for mushroom soup and white jade balls.
After the cook left, Yu Zheng told Zhufeng: "You must hand over the dishes to Yu Shizi personally."
"Yes." Zhufeng took the order and left.
This small task is not difficult to complete.
On the way back from Prince Rong's Mansion, Zhufeng passed by the noisy street and saw various shops on the street. He turned around and walked into Linglong Pavilion.
Zhuiyun is getting married and he has to prepare gifts.
Unlike other stores, Linglong Pavilion has everything.
Zhufeng walked around for a long time and picked out a good celadon tea set.
Zhuiyun is divided into a small courtyard and needs to buy more furniture and utensils, so a tea set is just the thing.
Zhufeng paid the money and asked the clerk to wrap it up.
While waiting, Zhufeng heard a couple behind him choosing jewelry.
"This hairpin is so beautiful. My wife will look good wearing it."
"But I like this."
"Then try them all. If you like them, buy them all."
Zhufeng looked back.
A whole wall of cabinets is filled with jewelry, including hairpins and bracelets...
Zhufeng hesitated for a moment and walked over.
Zhufeng, who had never bought jewelry before, was dazzled and didn't know how to choose.
The woman saw his confusion and kindly suggested: "Young master can choose according to the personality and preferences of the person you are sending."
Zhufeng thanked him and carefully recalled Leng Xing's usual outfit, excluding those gorgeous and dazzling hairpin bracelets.
Finally, Zhufeng's eyes fell on a silver hairpin.
The pattern of the silver hairpin is simple, with a light green jade inlaid at the end of the hairpin. From a distance, it looks like a star or a glowing firefly.
Zhufeng found it interesting and reached out to pick it up.
Coming out of Linglong Pavilion, Zhufeng's lips were slightly raised, his steps were brisk, and he was obviously in a good mood.
After returning to the palace to report to Yu Zheng, Zhufeng searched around the courtyard, but did not see Leng Xing.
He asked Shuanghua: "Where is Lengxing?"
Shuanghua said: "The princess will not leave the house in the afternoon, so I gave Leng Xing a day off to let her rest."
Zhufeng heard the words and had to give up for now.
Anyway, if we meet every day, we can send him off tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng assigned him a mission the next day and asked him to take a long trip.
This trip lasted ten days.
In the blink of an eye, October came, and on the first day of the lunar month, Jiang Shu took Yu Ziyou into the palace to pay his respects.
"Ziyou has grown up." Concubine Yu Guifei hugged Yu Ziyou and couldn't get enough of it.
The child, who is more than two months old, can already make squeaking sounds and interact simply, which makes the emperor happy.
Concubine Yu looked funny and talked about Yu Lan with Jiang Shu.
"Have you seen her recently?"
Because the pregnancy was not stable, Yu Lan's family of three did not come to pay their respects.
Jiang Shu said: "I've been there two days ago, and my sister's symptoms of joy have become much lighter."
Concubine Yu was relieved after hearing this: "Twin babies are not easy, I'm afraid they will have to suffer some hardships."
No matter how noble you are, the sin of pregnancy and childbirth cannot be avoided.
Jiang Shu didn't know how to comfort him, except that Zhou Boxu would take good care of Yu Lan.
Concubine Yu was not a sentimental person. She said a few words and then changed the topic.
After staying in Zhongling Palace for half an hour, Yu Ziyou started crying after breakfast, so Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng had to take him back home.
A few days later, Zhuiyun and Tanyu's wedding clothes were ready.
The wedding dress was made by Jiang Ji Silk Shop and was a congratulatory gift from Jiang Shu to Zhuiyun and Tanyu.
I tried the sandal jade on my upper body and it was just the right size.
Jiang Shu looked at Tan Yu and felt that his sister was about to get married.
Fortunately, the marriage is not far away, so there is no need to feel sad, only joy.
The days passed peacefully and steadily.
Zhufeng came back from outside and immediately went to find Leng Xing after reporting the mission.
Ran Lengxing was talking to Tan Yu and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zhufeng was tired after driving for several days, so he decided to go back and take a nap.
Anyway, the days are still long, so don’t be in a hurry.
On the tenth day of October, Jiang Shu went to Jiang's house to check the accounts with Jiang's father. The shopkeeper of the wine shop brought two jars of wine.
"Master, the fruit wine is ready."
Father Jiang asked his servants to bring wine glasses, and each person poured a glass to taste.
"The fruity aroma is rich, refreshing and slightly sweet, delicate and delicious." All the shopkeepers were full of praise after tasting it.
Jiang Shu also tasted it and thought it was very good.
"The boss thinks it's okay, we'll start selling it tomorrow." The winery shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Father Jiang nodded: "Every batch of wine must be strictly controlled. Don't make mistakes and damage the Jiangji sign."
"This is natural." The shopkeeper responded cautiously.
People in Beijing who had been waiting for a long time rushed to buy the fruit wine as soon as it went on sale. Especially those who have banquets at home place orders in large quantities.
Jiang Shu asked someone to send several altars to the palace.
After drinking the milk-replenishing soup for a month, she had no more milk and her body had recovered, so she could drink it lightly.
The bright moon hung high in the sky and the night was quiet. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were admiring the moon and drinking in the courtyard.
"Does it taste good?" Jiang Shu looked expectant.
Yu Zheng put down his wine glass and said warmly: "Yeah."
"Drink more, husband." Jiang Shu picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Yu Zheng.
Compared with pure wine brewed from grain, fruit wine is less harmful to the body, and it will be fine if you drink more.
Yu Zheng looked at her, his eyes flashing slightly.
Wine can add to the mood and aphrodisiac.
Yu Zheng did not refuse and allowed Jiang Shu to pour him one cup after another.
Jiang Shu only thought he liked drinking. When the two of them had a rest, she understood Yu Zheng's plan and regretted it endlessly.
What is this called? This is called shooting yourself in the foot!
When Jiang Shu woke up the next day, he felt his waist was sore, his legs were weak, and his throat was dry.
But Sun Yijun made an appointment with her to visit Yu Lan at the princess mansion today.
Jiang Shu drank a cup of honey water and got up to wash up.
After cleaning up, Jiang Shu waited for Yu Zheng to come back for breakfast.
But she waited and waited, and it was already past breakfast time, and Yu Zheng hadn't come back yet.
Jiang Shu had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, Yu Zheng finally came back, his face very solemn.
With a thump in his heart, Jiang Shu asked, "But what happened?"
Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "There's a war at the border."
"The Mobei army invaded with fierce force. In just half a month, they lost nearly 10,000 soldiers."
Jiang Shu's heart tightened when he heard this. No wonder he didn't come back today.
From the border to Shangjing, no matter how fast the horse is, we have to travel day and night. It will take at least ten days to send the battle report to Shangjing.
Therefore, when the imperial court received the battle report, the border situation must have become more serious.
Yu Zheng changed out of his court clothes, had a few bites of breakfast, and then left the house.
Jiang Shu went to the princess mansion alone without Yu Ziyou.
As Jiang Shu expected, Zhou Boxu was not in the house.
"You're here, I've been here for a long time." Sun Yijun blamed Jiang Shu for being late.
Jiang Shu looked at Yu Lan, and the two looked at each other, which was self-evident.
"What are you doing?" Sun Yijun felt that they were hiding something from her.
Yu Lan sighed: "Dazhao is really in trouble this year."
Yu Yuan and King Rong had no official positions and were unaware of the affairs of the court, and Sun Yijun himself did not know either.
But this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, and there was no need to hide it, so Yu Lan told Sun Yijun.
"Ah, wouldn't that mean there's going to be another war?" Sun Yijun took a breath of surprise.
Yu Lan corrected: "It's already the fight."
"The ambition of Mobei Wolf is probably going to be a long and fierce battle."
