Ye Yaoqin returned to Jufangyuan, and she was so angry that she shook her branches, dropped three cups in a row, and drove all the maids in the house out.

Ye Yaoqin's mother, the nurse Tian, persuaded: "The big girl, don't fall again, this cup is from the official kiln, there are only five in a set, it was originally going to be taken to make a dowry, but now you have fallen three, and you can't form a set." ”

Ye Yaoqin became more and more angry when she heard this, "Why can that little slut have such good luck!" First the king of England, and now the prince of the south......"

Mother Tian exclaimed: "Oh, little ancestor, you must be careful that Grandpa Guo hears it, your marriage is still finally decided, don't make any mistakes." ”

Ye Yaoqin wiped away her tears, "I'm unwilling, obviously I'm going to get married first, why do I want to delay my marriage, why do I want her to ......?"

"The third lady is ordered to get married."

"I don't care! Anyway, I can't see that she is better than me, and I am going to find my mother......"

Tian's mother persuaded her for a long time, and finally had to take the letter written by Ye Yaoqin to the Li family and quietly leave the house.

Li received her daughter's letter, and after reading it, she gritted her teeth with hatred, her life was not as good as before after she was retired back to the Li Mansion, her dowry all made up for the deficit of the Zhenguo Mansion, and now she can only be regarded as a free meal in the Li Mansion, in the past, Master Li and her younger brother Li Yuan would treat her well, that is because her identity can earn greater benefits for the Li Mansion, but now, she can only be regarded as a disgusting person who eats white rice, so even the subordinates of the Li Mansion are snub to her.

Li said to Tian's mother: "When you go back, tell Yaoqin that let her be honest and get married, and I have my own way." ”

Tian's mother went back and told Ye Yaoqin about the matter, Ye Yaoqin's mood improved, and she thought about how to help Li Gongzi get a good errand as soon as possible in the future, so that Ye Zhiwei's eyes would be red once.

Ye Yaoqin's noisy chickens and dogs jumped here, but Si Jingju's side seemed very quiet.

Since Princess Nan went back, Ye Zhiwei took the embroidery back to her yard and took a cold shower.

Mama Mi spread a turquoise soft bamboo mat on the big kang near the window, and Ye Zhiwei crooked on it to check the accounts of Miyi Fang and Shuxiangyuan when she left Beijing a few days ago.

Cang Ming has already checked all the accounts, and now she is just taking a look at it and enjoying it.

Xiaolian opened the curtain of the door, leaned inside, and said, "Steward Jin is here." ”

Ye Zhiwei sat up, tucked her half-wet hair behind her casually, and the golden steward was slightly stunned when she came to the door to see her like this, standing at the door and not entering, nor retreating.

Ye Zhiwei laughed, "Uncle Jin, come in and sit, it's all your own family, you stand there and let outsiders see it, and you think I'm putting on a big show." ”

Steward Jin smiled, and then entered the house, and he handed a list to Ye Zhiwei.

"The jewelry part of the dowry is so bad, but I can't find out where they went." The golden steward said, "Grandpa Guo asked me to go to the gold shop to buy a new one and make up for this part." ”

Ye Zhiwei shook it: "You go and tell your grandfather, don't be in a hurry to make up for these first." ”

The golden steward said strangely: "Why? ”

"I can roughly guess who these things are in their hands, if they use the public money in the house to make up for this shortfall now, those people will have no fear in the future, so I must let this part be vacated, and I can let them spit out all the things they owe me in the future."

Hearing this, the golden steward was worried and said: "Miss, I said something that should not have been said, after you get married, you will be a member of the Nanwang Mansion, if the prince knows about it...... I'm afraid I won't like it, right? ”

"No, it won't." Ye Zhiwei smiled faintly, Feng Duhan is the most protective guy, if he knew, not only would he not stop her, but he would also help her dig a pit and put a sleeve.

The golden steward wanted to say something, but when he saw Ye Zhiwei's confident appearance, he swallowed back the words behind.

"How is the second room doing now?" Ye Zhiwei changed the subject.

The gold steward was stunned, "Could it be that those jewelry are all ......?"

"Who else but them?" Ye Zhiwei rolled her eyes, on the night when she was doing white things for Ye Huai'an, she also saw the second lady Fang wearing a Min bracelet on her hand, but later, she never saw her wear it again, and even Ye Xuelian had never seen anything with the Min family appear on her body, which showed that the second room was alert.

The golden steward thought for a while, "The second master Ye Guangling only has a fictitious position in the palace, and has no real power, this is still the emperor's face in our country, the big house has been pressing the second room before, so the second lady is not too rich, plus the eldest young master is young and vigorous, he always causes trouble, and loses a lot of silver,...... However, I heard that the second room privately co-founded a restaurant. ”

"Do you know which one?" Ye Zhiwei's eyes lit up, "Do you know who the other party's owner is?" ”

The gold steward shook his head and said: "I just heard about this matter, the second room is very tight, I need to check it." ”

Ye Zhiwei nodded, "This matter will trouble Uncle Jin." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, while the gold steward went out to investigate the business of the second house, Ye Zhiwei left the Zhenguo Mansion and went to Shuxiangyuan under the pretext of going to her own gold shop to choose jewelry.

Xia Xiaomo heard that she was coming, and hurriedly took her to the kitchen to taste the new dishes he created.

Looking at the strangely shaped chili peppers, Ye Zhiwei couldn't cry or laugh, in order to let him stop the meeting, she dictated a home-cooked dish of chili buns.

Green peppers stuffed with minced meat are neatly stacked on plates, oiled and topped with sauce.

The strong, choking smell of spice only attracts everyone in the kitchen.

Xia Xiaomo desperately protected the plate from anyone else, "You all go away, this is a new dish that the owner just taught me to make!" ”

Those chefs have been in Shuxiang Garden for a long time, and they know that Xia Xiaomo is obsessed, and they all love to joke with him, and everyone is carrying a pair of chopsticks in the back to grab the chili bun.

Xia Xiaomo finally had to run out with a plate, and went to the back of the building to find Old Man Xia.

"Boss, you can't be partial, why don't you teach us?" The chefs complained.

Ye Zhiwei said with a smile, "There are several ways to make this dish, it can be fried or steamed, you can all try it." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all couldn't wait to try the new dish.

Ye Zhiwei went back upstairs, and while checking the new menu of Shuxiangyuan, she pondered that she should go back to the village before getting married to check the situation over there.

At this moment, Xia Xiaomo came back in a hurry, still carrying a string of live river fish in his hand.

"This is what Daddy just fished." Xia Xiaomo handed the fish to Xiaolian, "He said to make fish soup at noon to replenish the owner's body." ”

Xiaolian took the live fish with a smile and went downstairs to the kitchen to make arrangements.

"When you have time, thank you for me, Mr. Xia." Ye Zhiwei smiled happily, but Xia Xiaomo stood there and still had no intention of leaving.

"Are you okay?" Ye Zhiwei was surprised.

"That ......" Xia Xiaomo seemed to hesitate, "If someone poachs me at a high price and goes to another restaurant, will the owner release me?" ”

Ye Zhiwei nodded, "Come and go freely, this is what I promised you at the beginning." ”

"But you've taught me so many new dishes...... Won't you worry about me teaching someone else? ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled, "In business, I don't tell you those high-sounding words, I opened a restaurant just to make money, but I'm not that stingy person, everyone is good to get together and disperse, if you meet on the street one day, you can also go for a few drinks, it's always okay to be an ordinary friend, right?" ”

Xia Xiaomo smiled, "Daddy said that he has always been accurate in seeing people. As he spoke, he took out the book from his arms and handed it to Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Zhiwei was stunned, the book had been turned very old, and the cover was full of oil.

A few large words can be faintly seen on the cover: Eighteen vegetarian pieces.
