Because of the delay in the East Palace, it was already dusk when Yan Yan returned home, and when he entered the door, Qingxiu gave Yan Yan a wooden box, saying that it was sent by Jinyang Mansion.

Qing Glaze opened it and saw that it was a full set of gold ornaments for children, and there was a large envelope on it, which contained 12,000 taels of silver tickets and a contract, which indicated the name and price of the formula that Yan Yan agreed to sell and the conditions agreed between the two families to take the Yellow River as the boundary, which also mentioned the seeds of yams and cotton, hoping that Yan Yan could keep his promise and send them seeds for one acre of land next year, and the extra 2,000 taels of silver tickets were regarded as the seed money he had paid in advance.

In the end, the other party explained that he would send someone to get the formula early tomorrow morning, hoping that Yan Yan would prepare it as soon as possible, and in addition, he would send two people to the shop to learn the craft, and he also hoped that Yan Yan could arrange it.

Anyway, the other party is leaving, which is a good thing for Yan Yan, but since the other party is a silver ticket and contract sent in the name of Jinyang Mansion, Yan Yan also put the signed contract into an envelope and sent it to Jinyang Mansion, as for the secret recipe, Yan Yan explained that people should go directly to the shop to learn and remember, after all, the cake making process is not a few lines of text that can be explained clearly.

According to the information fed back by Qinghe, Zhou Lu sent two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls to learn the craft, and they only learned it for one day, and she taught everything that should be taught, and she didn't know how much the other party could understand, but she handed over the production process and formula to the other party, and it was worthy of the five thousand taels of silver tickets.

Yan Yan received the news of Zhou Lu's departure from Beijing the next morning, and it was Zhou Lu who sent two maids to the door to say goodbye, and the maids did not enter the door, only stayed in the gatehouse, although Yan Yan did not understand the other party's actions, but she let down her guard and waited for labor wholeheartedly.

What Yan Yan didn't expect was that as soon as Zhou Lu left, Chen Chen came to the door again and again, in her own words, she had just returned to the capital, she didn't have any friends, but she didn't want to stay at home all day, and Yan Yan was a pregnant woman, and her husband was not around, so it was estimated that it was not easy to pass the time, so she came to accompany the pregnant woman to relieve her boredom.

Fortunately, Chen Chen didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to talk to Yan Yan, and by the way, she came to learn from Yan Yan to learn piano skills, and Yan Yan also knew from her mouth that her parents were worried about her brother and sister's family affairs, but Yan Yan didn't see Chen Chen's interest much, on the contrary, it seemed that she was faintly resistant to this matter.

Thinking of her asking Yan Yan to learn "A Laugh in the Sea", and also thinking of her always unconsciously turning the topic to Zhou Lu, Yan Yan guessed that she was probably a secret root of love.

She can't help with this matter, don't say that she is not optimistic about Zhou Lu, even if she is optimistic, with the dignity of Jinyang Mansion, she will never allow her granddaughter to marry a merchant, unless Zhou Lu has a reputation.

However, Yan Yan was surprised that Chen Cha's family affair was quickly decided, the woman was Yan Yan's cousin Yunshang, because the two of them were not young, so the two families quickly exchanged Geng posts, and then the big and small ones were decided, and the day of marriage was set on the tenth day of the lunar month.

On this day, when Yan Yanzheng and Qingmiao Qingglaze agreed on a 100-day gift to Li Ran, the daughter of the crown princess, someone at the door said that Mrs. Chen from Jinyang Mansion came to the door.

Yan Yan was taken aback, although Chen Chen had been here a few times, Mrs. Chen had never come to the door once, and an elder from the other party suddenly came to the door, presumably because he wanted to ask her for something.

Sure enough, the two met in the hall, and after the guest and host sat down, the other party looked at the furnishings in the room, and then took out a gift list, "I heard that our Chen'er has been bothering the county lord a lot recently, and I, as a mother, are very uneasy, so I specially came to make amends to the county lord, the child is ignorant and causes trouble to the county lord." ”

"Mrs. Chen is too polite, Sister Chen is here to relieve my boredom, it's too late for me to thank her, where is the reparation?" Yan Yan glanced at the gift list, and saw that in addition to the ginseng and deer antler bird's nest eaten by pregnant women, there were also eight pieces of clothing and two kinds of official kiln porcelain on the gift list, which verified his guess.

After handing over the gift list to Qing Miao, Yan Yan ordered the green glaze to serve tea, Qing Miao took the gift list and turned around and went out, and after the green glaze was tea, he brought Yan Yan a cup of goat's milk, and then stood behind Yan Yan.

Mrs. Chen took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup and looked at Yan Yan's stomach, and then at the green wheat that came in with the refreshments and the green glaze standing behind Yan Yan, "I see that the county lord's stomach is also fast, why don't you have two experienced mothers-in-law by your side, all of them are little girls with water, and there are not many people?" ”

"There are also a few mothers-in-law who are busy in the back garden, and there are two female doctors who will come over every day to help me take a pulse, and Mrs. Wen will move in next month." After speaking, Yan Yan motioned to Qing Glaze to take the people in the house out, she guessed that Mrs. Chen could never have cared about whether there was a mother-in-law in her house.

Sure enough, after everyone in the house went down, Mrs. Chen asked about the fiancés of these big families in the capital, and Yan Yan guessed that she should want to find a suitable husband for Chen Chen, but she knew everything.

It can be seen that Mrs. Chen seems to be more interested in Xu Yu and Zhu Jin, but Xu Yu's father is Zuo Xiang, and Zhu Jin's father is a first-class marquis, Yan Yan really doesn't know if the other party can take a fancy to Chen Chen, after all, the Chen family does not have a hereditary title, and Chen's father's official position is not high.

Fortunately, Zhu Jin is not a prince, and his requirements for women can be appropriately lowered, but Yan Yan doesn't like this person very much, he always feels that he is not very old, and he has a lot of crooked thoughts, and he seems to be very compatible with Lu Ming, and he is not less embarrassed by Lu Ming because of Lu Ming.

It's just that Yan Yan can't say these words truthfully, after all, she and Mrs. Chen don't have a deep relationship, who knows whose ears these words will reach.

"It can be seen that the county lord is a real person, as for me, I will not hide it from the county lord, you also know a little bit about my Chen'er's temperament, dare to ask the county lord, which do you think my Chen'er is more compatible with?"

This stumped Yan Yan, how dare she speak up about this kind of thing?

"Mrs. Chen, you should discuss this matter with Sister Chen, although I have been in contact with Sister Chen a few times, I am not familiar with those sons of the family." Yan Yan kicked the ball back.

"I don't understand the reason, but this kid doesn't know what's going on, and has been saying goodbye to us in this matter, and she didn't say anything when we asked her, so I can't help it, thinking that you have been in a lot of contacts recently, will she tell you something, has she revealed what kind of person you are looking for?"

Yan Yan looked at the other party's cautious tone, and guessed that the other party was here to test herself, after all, this kind of thing was a scandal, and of course she couldn't ask openly.

"No, she came to me just to talk to me, to learn chess and piano skills with me, and nothing else." Yan Yan told the truth.

Mrs. Chen's expression was obviously relieved when she heard this, and she was about to ask something more, when Qing Glaze said at the door that Ma was here.
