Sun Yijun was asked and couldn't answer for a while.
Yu Lan looked at her funny, and Jiang Shu also stared at her with interest.
Sun Yijun rolled his eyes and said slyly: "If it were a daughter, I would join forces with her to make her father angry together."
"Pfft..." Jiang Shu and Yu Lan couldn't help laughing.
They had no doubt that Sun Yijun could indeed do it.
The three of them laughed and chatted, and the morning passed leisurely.
Just before lunch, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu came back together.
Yu Yuan, who arrived before them, looked at the two of them and asked in surprise: "Brother Zheng, brother-in-law, are you doing errands together?"
"Yes." Yu Zheng responded casually and took Yu Ziyou from Jiang Shu.
Zhou Bexu sat next to Yu Lan and asked her in a low voice whether she felt uncomfortable or tired after sitting all morning.
When Sun Yijun saw it, he glared at Yu Yuan and said, "Look at how I feel sorry for my wife. Think about you again."
"What's wrong with me? I don't care about you anymore." Yu Yuan spoke plausibly.
Sun Yijun snorted.
He did ask her if she had trouble sitting up and moving around, and if she was careful.
What's the point of questioning? Questioning is more or less the same.
The more Sun Yijun thought about it, the angrier he became, and he raised his foot and stepped on Yu Yuan.
Princess Rong said that if you are angry, you cannot hold it in, you must release it in time. As for Yu Yuan, he is a grown man and it doesn't matter how many times he is kicked or beaten.
Sun Yijun felt that Princess Rong was right, and stretched out his hand to squeeze Yu Yuan's arm.
Yu Yuan screamed as he was being twisted, causing Yu Ziyou to open her dark eyes and stare at him curiously.
Yu Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and lowered his voice: "Ziyou is here, don't scare him."
Although Yu Ziyou couldn't understand or understand, Yu Yuan still felt embarrassed.
The only good thing is that Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng and the others were talking separately and didn't pay attention to them.
Sun Yijun turned around and saw Yu Ziyou looking at them in shock with a small face. He thought the little guy was very interesting.
When the sun was high in the sky, the servants came to report that lunch was ready.
Yu Zheng handed Yu Ziyou to the nurse, and the group went to the flower hall in the front yard to have a meal.
"Mushroom Soup White Jade Pills." Sun Yijun was pleasantly surprised when he saw it.
Yu Yuan said: "You eat every now and then, haven't you had enough?"
Sun Yijun glanced at him sideways: "Thankfully, you still run a restaurant. Can't you tell that the cooking skills of the chef at home are different from those of the chef in the palace?"
This...well, it was a little different, but he didn't think it was that big of a difference.
"Come on, have a taste." Jiang Shu filled a bowl and placed it in front of Sun Yijun.
Sun Yijun sniffed it first, then picked up a porcelain spoon, scooped up a meatball, blew on it, and tasted it carefully.
"Well, even if it tastes like this, it's still delicious made by the chef of the palace."
After eating one, Sun Yijun's appetite was greatly increased and he ate with a smile on his face.
"Sister, try it too." Yu Zheng also filled a bowl for Yu Lan.
Yu Lan took a taste and his eyes lit up.
I had eaten it before when I came to Wangfu. At that time, I thought it was delicious, but I didn't particularly like it. When I ate it today, I felt it was extremely delicious. After one bite, I still wanted to take the next bite.
Not only are the meatballs delicious, but the soup is also delicious.
Seeing that Yu Lan liked the food, Zhou Bo asked, "Can you give me a portion of this dish?"
Yu Zheng said: "The princess's palace is close. If I want to eat it later, I will send someone to let me know and ask the palace cook to make it and send it over."
It's not that he doesn't give it, but the same recipe tastes different when cooked by different chefs, such as the chef at Prince Rong's Mansion.
Sun Yijun understood this deeply. He swallowed the meatballs in his mouth and said, "When I give it to Sister Huang in the future, please give me one bowl. No, two bowls."
Jiang Shu frowned when he heard this and said: "It's faster to go from the prince's palace to the princess's palace, it only takes a cup of tea. But to get to Prince Rong's palace, it takes half an hour anyway. I'm afraid it will be cold when I send you there."
"It doesn't matter, I'll eat it after it's hot." Sun Yijun followed suit.
Jiang Shu: "..." Okay!
It is easy to be tired when pregnant.
Not long after the meal, Zhou Boxu helped Yu Lan get up and say goodbye, and returned to the Princess's Mansion. Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun also returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.
As for Jiang Shu, after resting for the last half day, he continued to patrol shops and do business the next day.
It's winter, and the silk shop's business is particularly booming.
When Jiang Shu visited Nancheng Silk Shop that day, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures in the shop.
"Changhuai, Yueyao." Jiang Shu said in surprise.
Aren't they far away in Qixian County? When did you return to Beijing?
Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao, who were selecting silk materials, looked sideways when they heard the sound, and were both surprised and happy to see Jiang Shu.
The two wanted to say hello to Jiang Shu, but seeing that she was wearing men's clothes and thinking about her identity, they didn't know what to call her.
Jiang Shu smiled and said softly: "Can you come upstairs with me if you have time?"
There are too many guests on the first floor, and it is crowded and noisy. It is not a place to reminisce and talk.
Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao nodded, exited the crowd and followed Jiang Shu to the second floor.
There is also brocade silk on the second floor, and the quality is much better than that on the first floor. It is specially used by high-ranking officials and nobles.
At this time, the clerk was leading several ladies to choose, and the embroiderer was taking measurements for them.
Jiang Shu avoided them and took Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao into the reception room.
The waiter brought the tea and stepped back. The door was closed. Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao immediately saluted: "I have met the princess."
Jiang Shu helped the two of them up and asked curiously: "Why did you go back to Beijing?"
Shen Changhuai said: "The Ministry of Personnel evaluated me for promotion, and I was promoted to the Ministry of Husbandry."
Hearing this, Jiang Shu congratulated in a brisk tone.
Shen Changhuai was a concubine, and he had no share in the Hou family's fortune. If he wants to get ahead, he can only rely on himself.
It is true that the Hou Mansion has no family property, only an empty name. But for ordinary people, it is also out of reach.
Shen Changhuai thanked him, and Jiang Shu asked when they returned to Beijing.
Wang Yueyao said: "It's the first day of this month."
Thinking that the two of them had just selected silk fabrics down there, Jiang Shu asked, "But you didn't bring any winter clothes?"
Wang Yueyao shook her head and said with embarrassment: "In the past, when I was away from home, my husband was a junior official, so his clothes were relatively simple and not that particular. Now that I have returned to Beijing, my husband has been promoted again, so I have to take care of my face."
Jiang Shu suddenly understood and said generously: "I will pick a few horses on the second floor in a while. It will be considered as a promotion gift from me to Chang Huai and to welcome you back."
Shen Changhuai couldn't afford the brocade silk on the second floor with his meager salary.
Therefore, Shen Changhuai didn't dare to ask for it and hurriedly refused: "I can't do it, it's too expensive. It's really inappropriate for the princess to have nothing to do with us."
If in the past, Jiang Shu was their eldest sister-in-law, it would be understandable to give a few pieces of brocade silk as a promotion gift, but now... there is no reason for it.
Wang Yueyao also refused continuously and felt ashamed.
They were very happy and satisfied to see Jiang Shu.
Knowing that the two of them were thin-skinned, Jiang Shu pretended to be displeased and said, "Since you keep saying that you have nothing to do with me, then from now on we will be strangers and we will not know each other."
Now that he has returned to Beijing, he will attend banquets everywhere in the future and will inevitably meet Jiang Shu. Pretending to be ignorant, Wang Yueyao was reluctant to let go.
She was originally the daughter of a minor official, and she didn't know many people in Beijing. She had been away from Beijing for many years, and her friendship was even more superficial, and her friendship gradually disappeared. Only Jiang Shu, because they had been together for a few months, became very attached to each other, and Wang Yueyao liked her very much.
"How about it? Do you want to accept this gift or not?" Jiang Shu took a teacup and peeked at the two of them.
