Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
Innkeeper Qian did not expect Ji Zhao to be so confident. He was stunned at first, then he smiled and nodded. “Madam’s culinary skills are indeed extraordinary. I wonder what kind of restaurant Madam is planning to open?”
“Catering to rich people.” Ji Zhao chuckled and kept him in suspense. “When Spring Breeze Pavilion opens, Innkeeper Qian, why don’t you co and support us?”
“Okay.”
Perhaps it was because it was the Mid -Autumn Festival today, so the heavens were in a good mood. At noon, it actually rained. The autumn rain was slightly cold, and the hot temperature had also decreased. The weather after the rain was very comfortable.
In the Qin Residence, Pangui Hall.
First Madam Qin did not expect Ji Zhao to visit her personally.
“I originally planned to visit with my husband tomorrow. After all, it’s Brother Qin’s birthday banquet tomorrow.” Ji Zhao smiled and explained gently, “But later on, I thought that today is only the Mid-Autumn Festival, so after so consideration, I decided to visit. I mainly want Madam to try this snow skin mooncake. I’m really sorry to disturb you.”
“Girl, what are you thinking?” When Madam Qin heard her words, she couldn’t help but laugh. “You have good intentions. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s good for . Besides, I’m very happy that you can co.” “Madam, why don’t you try it?”
“Ah Tao, I heard from Minghong that you were very close friends when you were in Dingyuan County?”
“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded honestly. “Brother Qin is very kind, so my husband and I sincerely treat him as a good friend. Putting aside our business cooperation, we feel that Brother Qin is soone worth befriending.”
Even if Qin Minghong’s surna was not Qin, she and Shen Yao were still willing to be friends with him.
Eldest Madam Qin did not expect Ji Zhao to be so pure-hearted. She pointed out her worries concisely.
“Now I understand why my brother is willing to take you in as his disciple.” First Madam Qin smiled and then said, “My maiden family’s surna is Chen, and my na is Fangrong. If you don’t mind, you can call Aunt Rong in the future.”
Ji Zhao nodded obediently and smiled. “Okay, Aunt Rong.”
First Madam Qin smiled and responded. She couldn ‘t help but feel a little emotional.
This girl was generous, obedient, and pure. No wonder everyone liked her so much!
“I heard from Minghong that your culinary skills are also excellent?” First Madam Qin smiled and nodded at Nanny Wu beside her. Then, Nanny Wu brought over a nu and handed it to Ji Zhao. “Tomorrow is Minghong’s birthday. Help take a look at this nu. Is there anything wrong with it?”
“Okay.” Ji Zhao agreed generously. After she finished reading the nu, she frowned thoughtfully and asked, “Aunt Rong, who drafted this nu?”
“Minghong’s stepmother.” Seeing her troubled expression, First Madam Qin understood. “Ah Tao, is there anything wrong with this nu?”
“At first glance, there’s nothing wrong with this nu, but if you think about it carefully, there are many problems,” Ji Zhao explained in a serious tone. ‘”The braised beef with sauce and the brown sugar glutinous glutinous rice cake can’t be eaten together. If you eat both dishes at the sa ti, it will make you bloated. In addition, this carp and licorice shouldn’t be placed together. If you eat the carp and drink the sweet soup with licorice, you will be poisoned. And this chicken and mustard greens, eating both together will harm your vitality.” First Madam Qin only felt a naless fire rise in her heart, but she forcefully suppressed it.
“That person from Ruyi Pavilion won’t shed tears until she sees the coffin!” First Madam Qin sneered and glanced at Nanny Wu. “Since she can’t even organize such a simple banquet, there is no need for her to be the head of the family.”
“Nanny, send soone to invite Second Master back to the residence! If we don’t tear off a layer of her face in front of everyone, I’m afraid she won’t stop!
Also, go and bring the doctor over!”
“I’ll go imdiately,” Nanny Wu replied quickly and left the hall in a hurry.
Although First Madam Qin’s tone was very calm, Ji Zhao could still hear the fierce killing intent hidden in it.
However, Ji Zhao was not interested in other people’s family matters, so she imdiately said goodbye.
First Madam Qin did not stop her and only reminded her to co early tomorrow.
When Ji Zhao returned to the inn, Shen Yao had already returned.
“This is?” Ji Zhao was a little surprised when she saw the title deed.
“I bought a small courtyard not far from the inn. Do you want to take a look?”
Shen Yao picked up a bunch of keys and handed them to her. The smile on his face was gentle and refined.
“You bought a small courtyard?” Ji Zhao was a little surprised and confused.
“But how did you get the money?”
“So ti ago, I sold a few paintings.” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose dotingly and explained with a smile, “A rich businessman took a fancy to my paintings and bought them at a high price. I haven’t had the ti to tell you.”
“I see.” Ji Zhao smiled in realization. When she saw the na on the deed, she was even more puzzled. “Shen Yao, why is my na written on it?”
“Silly girl.” Looking at her confused expression, the smile in Shen Yao’s eyes deepened. “Because you’re my wife! This title deed naturally has your na written on it.”
Only then did Ji Zhao react. The corners of her lips curled up slightly with a gentle smile.
“Shen Yao, why are you so good to !”
“It’s only right for to treat my wife well.” Shen Yao hugged her and chuckled. “Zhaozhao, it’s still early. Do you want to go take a look now?”
“Sure!”
Before Ji Zhao returned, Shen Yao had already packed their luggage.
No matter how good the inn was, it was not their ho after all, so they could not find the so-called sense of belonging.
After bidding farewell to Innkeeper Qian, the two of them held hands and walked towards the long street in the south.
Yunchuan Prefecture City was very large. Other than the most prosperous long street, there were two other roads. They were Ginkgo Road and Wutong Road. These two roads intersected in the shape of a cross, dividing Yunchuan Prefecture City into four parts: north, south, east, and west.
In the east were so exquisite and elegant large courtyards. Most of them were the residences of powerful people. The largest courtyard was the Qin residence.
On the west side were governnt offices and so restaurants. Most of the people living in the south were ordinary people. On the north side, there were many simple bamboo buildings. The people living there were also people from poor families.
Shen Yao had long taken a fancy to a small courtyard in the south.
The courtyard was not big, but there were two pogranate trees planted in the front yard and an ancient well in the backyard.
He pushed the door open and entered the hall. On the right was the spacious and bright main house, and on the left was the utility room.
“The kitchen moved the most in this courtyard..” Shen Yao turned to look at the happy Ji Zhao and explained with a smile, “Zhaozhao, do you want to go over and take a look?”
