"Everything is fine in the shop!" Qi Yancai already knew that she was going to ask, so before entering Beijing, he went there to walk around.

"Business is good, and the hot sauce is selling well! It's just that they all miss you a little! Qi Yan replied simply, but after speaking, he hesitated a little, and then spoke with Qi Yunshu's encouraging eyes: "Actually...... Actually, I have a small request today......"

Qi Yunshu was slightly stunned: "Big brother, what do you have to say, we are brother and sister, why do you need to be so polite?" ”

Qi Yan is too much of an outsider.

"This thing...... It's not my brother's business, it's ...... Rong Zhi also knows! Qi Yancai pulled Zhao Jing, a good friend who had been sitting on the side, who had never answered, into the group chat.

Qi Yunshu looked at him and spit out, as if he was very embarrassed, and couldn't help but be anxious, let him hurry up, otherwise there would be no need to talk about it for a while.

"Liu Sanyuan...... He is also a native of Nancheng Town, his family has been poor since he was a child, his father died early, there is a widowed mother and a pair of younger siblings in the family, the money for the exam in Beijing is still made up by a group of our children, and the silver money of the guest house is evenly distributed by the young master Yunda, but it is still early from the spring season, and the silver money of the inn looks up, I am afraid that the money will not be enough.

He studied hard in the cold window, wouldn't it be a pity if he gave up here? “

"So what?" Qi Yunshu's mind moved, and she seemed to understand what her eldest brother meant.

Qi Yancai looked at Qi Yunshu and Zhao Jingqiang's eyes and said weakly: "Yun Niang, you have settled down so quickly in this capital, and you have such a big courtyard to live in, can you ...... Will you allow me to invite him along...... Of course, don't dare to bother Yun Niang and Rongzhi, just live with me! ”

Although Qi Yancai's words were true, he was also a person who wanted face, seeing that Qi Yunshu lowered his head and didn't speak, he knew that this matter was embarrassing for his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, so he sighed helplessly and stroked his forehead, and said Forget it, forget it, they have to make up some more silver taels for him!

Qi Yunshu was not a hard-hearted person, but now, when he glanced at Zhao Jing, he was frank and only looked at her, and if she agreed, he would have no opinion.

"So, can you find a chance to bring him over and let me see who he is, this ...... You also know that we are not only in business but also in making sauces, of course, safety is the top priority! ”

Qi Yancai expressed his understanding and said that he would bring him over in a few days, because the room fee given was not yet full, and he didn't know what he was doing recently, as if he was very busy!

As he spoke, Aoeda trotted over and said that someone had delivered the letter.

"What letter?" The three people in the courtyard raised their eyebrows at the same time and glanced at each other, Zhao Jing took it and took it apart directly.

"Second prince?"

"How could the second prince write a letter?" Qi Yunshu was inexplicably a little nervous when she heard this name.

It wasn't a pleasant time to get along, and there could be no such thing as writing a letter!

Zhao Jing shook his head: "This letter is not written by the second prince, but the envelope is engraved in the shape of an iron sword, which is the symbol of the second prince's mansion!" He raised the letter in his hand, which only had a few words, and said that it was written by Quan Yuzhong, the chief butler of the Second Prince's Mansion.

"I said that there was a banquet in the Second Prince's Mansion recently, and I heard that the lady has superb cooking skills and once took on the position of the chef in the Mansion of Lord Zhao of Dali Temple, so this time the Second Prince's Mansion hereby invites you to go to the chef!"

As soon as Zhao Jing's voice fell, Qi Yunshu pinched his fingers and said, "I'm not going!" ”

Zhao Jing looked at her in surprise, and Qi Yancai was even more exaggerated, his mouth was open, his eyes were round, and he looked at her as if he was looking at an alien.

Qi Yunshu didn't feel anything when she said it, but after she finished speaking, she saw the reaction of the two of them and realized that something was wrong.

This is the Great Liang Dynasty, the second prince is said to be the most valued of the royal family today, and she, an ordinary village woman, actually dared to refuse the olive branch handed over by his housekeeper, is this too bold, or ...... Brainless and unclear?

She licked nervously. Lips explains:

"I ...... I'm afraid I'm not good at cooking, what if I mess up? ”

Qi Yancai persuaded with a worried face: "Yun Niang, this is the second prince, it is not something that can be refused casually, and he sent this directly, presumably there is no room for you to refuse!" ”

Zhao Jing didn't speak, but generally speaking, he also wanted her to agree.

"The second prince is a very persistent person, since he has found you, I'm afraid he won't achieve his goal!"

In fact, there is no need for them to explain it, Qi Yunshu also understands that no matter how bold she is, she will not really dare to go against the second prince.

Besides, he made it clear that he was coming for her, if she found a way to find an excuse to avoid it, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't come to her again next time, it was better to pretend that nothing had happened before, anyway, as it was said, as long as you do a good job, the reward is big!

No matter what it is for, Qi Yunshu must go this time!

That day, Qi Yunshu had just packed up his clothes when he saw a carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing the icon of the iron sword embroidered on the curtain above, she knew who it was, and it seemed that she was afraid that she would not go after the last time she was tossed, so she specially got a carriage and waited here, which also meant not leaving her any way out.

Her eyes sank, her mind froze, and she inexplicably had a bad premonition!

As she walked, she was only five paces away when she heard a crisp voice calling to her at the exit of the alley.

"Yun Shu, Sister Yun Shu, hurry, come here!"

Qi Yunshu raised her eyes to look, but saw Su Zhi standing there vividly, the carriage of the Zhao Mansion stopped behind her, and she beckoned straight to Qi Yunshu:

"Are you going to the Second Prince's Mansion? I'm just stopping by here, giving you a ride! ”

Qi Yunshu looked at her hesitantly, and whispered that the Second Prince's Mansion had sent a carriage over.

Su Zhi didn't even glance at the carriage of the prince's mansion and said: "Just that broken carriage, they don't sit on my entourage, since you are invited to be the chef for a banquet, how can you be so rude?" Get into my chariot and come with me." I'll go back to the second prince! Su Zhi forcibly abducted her into her carriage and walked straight to the Second Prince's Mansion.

When the curtain was lowered, Qi Yunshu glanced at the sky through the gap, the dark clouds were a little heavy, and it seemed that it was going to rain!

Sure enough, following Su Zhi over, not only did the housekeeper of the prince's mansion who went to pick her up have nothing to say, but she also let her go in through the main gate.

Following Su Zhi along the way, Qi Yunshu saw a lot of wealthy nobles in the capital who came to attend the banquet.

Among them, there were a few more familiar ladies and ladies that she had seen with Su Zhi before, but what puzzled Qi Yunshu was that she actually saw Liu Cailian among the guests!

She also saw her obviously, a cold eye swept over, and when Su Zhi led her to the backyard kitchen and returned to the main courtyard, Liu Cailian followed directly.

"Yo, I thought you didn't have to come to this pickled place when you came in from the main entrance, but I didn't expect that you didn't have to rush into this realm to bother with hard work, alas, so if you have the life of serving people in this life, you are destined to serve people for the rest of your life. You and I are destined to be incomparable! ”

hasn't answered for a long time, Qi Yunshu thought that Liu Cailian had forgotten the discord between them, at least she had almost forgotten it, but she didn't expect that people not only didn't forget, but they still remembered it firmly, thinking about stepping on her anytime and anywhere.

Hearing this, Qi Yunshu also raised her eyebrows and responded unceremoniously: "Yes, it's incomparable, no matter how noble your status is, you always have to call me Aunt Seven in front of outsiders!" “

"I ...... You seem to be quite triumphant! Liu Cailian deliberately raised her chin high in front of her, showing off the long skirt embroidered with colorful clouds on her body, as well as the eight-treasure tasseled collar hanging around her neck.

"Tsk, have you seen it, the material of the Splendid Workshop, I invited the embroidery lady there to come to the door to order, the coiled circle of the Treasure Pavilion, and the red pearl of the South China Sea fell in the middle......"

Liu Cailian's rare appearance of being a fan of wealth showed off in front of Qi Yunshu in a high-profile manner.

"Oh, it's expensive!" Qi Yunshu listened to the extremely capable show off that popped out of Liu Cailian's two thin mouths, and she didn't have the slightest envy, but a faint mockery, looking at her like a nouveau riche.

"You...... You don't want to eat Portuguese and grapes and think about Portuguese and grape sour, I tell you, these things are indeed not cheap, who can be a rich family in the capital without a splendid shop of clothes, without a treasure pavilion jewelry, that is not a real Kyoto person! ”

Liu Cailian was extremely complacent, Qi Yunshu didn't want to pay attention to it, she was still busy now, but as soon as she left, she suddenly looked behind her, her eyes flashed, and then she replied casually: "You arrived in the capital later than me, I don't even know which way the door of the Treasure Pavilion opens, but you have already ...... But you don't know where you got your money? ”

"Naturally, I don't need to spend my own money......" Liu Cailian smiled proudly. She is a capable person, why do you need to pay for these out of her own pocket?

"Oh, that's what Zhao Liangtian sent you! If you let the Xu family know that you are spending so much money on their family outside, you have to be careful about your skin when you go back......"

"Hehe, that's too much trouble for you, this is a ...... sent to me by His Royal Highness Also, please remember that the opportunity for you to enter His Highness's Mansion to cook is all due to my nephew and daughter-in-law promoting you behind your back, if it weren't for my repeated good words for you, how could you have been able to get in? ”

Qi Yunshu gritted the root of her teeth, and smiled without smiling: "Oh, it turned out that you did it, I'll just say it...... And these things turned out to be all sent by His Royal Highness the Second Prince! ”

Qi Yunshu was afraid that Zhao Liangtian, who was standing behind Liu Cailian, would not hear it, so she repeated it word by word, and then winked at him, the talking eyes seemed to say: Did Zhao Liangtian hear it, your lady gave a gift from a foreign man, do you know?

"Ah...... Messire...... Xiang Gong ...... "Liu Cailian's body stiffened, and out of the corner of her eye, she had already seen Zhao Liangtian walking towards her with heavy steps, she opened her eyes wide and panicked, and said incoherently:

"I ...... Xianggong, you, listen to my explanation, things are not what she said...... It's not what you think......"

Watching the backs of the two of them disappear into the corner of the garden one after the other, Qi Yunshu smiled proudly, but there was already a person behind her who had been watching the excitement for a long time.

"Ah, what a great girl, but I like it!" A blue figure suddenly jumped out from behind and stopped in front of Qi Yunshu.
