Last ti, you were drunk and I didn’t get the chance to teach you.
This ti, I’ll teach you!”
“Forget it, I won’t be able to learn.
I’ll just stick to eating.”
Gu Youyou did not insist.
With Searcy in Jinxiu City and Lun Yu not yet back from the palace, and having nothing else to do, Gu Youyou had made so snacks for Lin Qianqing.
Firstly, to feed this little glutton, and secondly, she felt it was ti to open a snack shop.
Over the past couple of years, Jisheng Hall’s dicinal concoctions had monopolized the market in Zhuzhao Country, and business from other countries was plentiful.
The clothes from Manxiu Building had beco all the rage among the upper class, and every month brought in a lot of silver.
Once she set up the snack shop, it would also be ti to consider opening a bank for more convenient monetary transactions.
This ti, she had made ten portions, calculating them just right.
She had sent one portion to the old lady’s room, one to Madam Lin, and left one for Lin Xingyi.
Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing each had a portion, and then Gu Youyou also set aside one each for Searcy and Lun Yu, Xiang Chun received one, and two more were for Lin Qianqing to take back to the Prince Jin Residence to share with her husband.
The predicant of ancient won was such that when a man was happy, their life was smoother.
It was said that Lin Qianqing had been cold towards King Jin for a while, and since their relationship had recently improved, she added fuel to the fire.
“I rember Xie Qinyun used to love these snacks.
It’s a pity she can’t co to the Lin Residence as often as before.”
Gu Youyou laughed, “You’re still thinking about her?
Why don’t you send these two portions to her, let her also ‘offer Buddha with borrowed flowers’?”
Recalling her last encounter with Xie Qinyun at a family banquet, she smiled faintly.
“Why would she need to ‘offer Buddha with borrowed flowers’?
I hear Prince Qin dotes on her.
The last royal banquet was supposed to be for official wives only, but while his wife wasn’t seen, Qinyun attended with Prince Qin.”
“Oh?
Is that so?
She really must be planning to beco his favored consort; it sounds like she’s living quite well.”
Lin Qianqing nodded, saying, “Her status was never lower than Prince Qin’s wife’s.
Becoming a consort must have frustrated her a lot.
I don’t know how many tis a day she curseds Miss Du, saying that the esteed consort dislikes her because of the chaos in the Jie Family’s back yard.”
Miss Du, a forr concubine of the Jie Family, was slowly fading from their mories.
Miss Du was a person of deep feelings, having taken in the concubine herself, she surely ensured that the woman lived out her life in comfort.
“Ah, right, did you know before that Jin Zijin was actually the Crown Prince?”
Gu Youyou did not speak, just looked at her and asked, “Did you see him?”
“Yes, at the family banquet,” Lin Qianqing replied.
“The Empress Dowager proposed selecting consorts for him, and he agreed.
I used to think that you two…
well, never mind, you’ll see.”
Gu Youyou’s expression shifted slightly as she bit her lip lightly.
Since he had agreed, had he already made arrangents?
“Ah, what is that delicious sll?” Lun Yu had returned, and before even entering, he had slled the sweet aroma.
Gu Youyou gathered her thoughts and looked towards Lun Yu, deciding to ask him later.
Lin Qianqing, not recognizing Lun Yu, asked, “Who is this girl?” She felt that such unruly maids should not exist in the residence; her mother, Madam Lin, was not just for show.
She wouldn’t tolerate such ill-mannered maids, would she?
Gu Youyou replied, “This is a new maid I bought recently; she hasn’t had ti to learn the rules yet.”
