444 The little girl is going to grow up (2 more)
The Mansion of the State of Qi.
Aunt Zhang took a casual sip of tea and raised her eyelids slightly, "You want to go back and have a look?" β
Zhang Huai bowed, "It's been a few months, my father has not heard from me, I'm really not at ease, my aunt is relieved, I'll go back quickly, I won't be delayed for long." β
He had long wanted to go back, not only because he was worried about his father, but also because he didn't have much silver on him. If, if his father is really gone, he has to sell all the family property, and he can't cheapen those guys.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of going back?"
"Gu Yi and Song Wanyue are in Beijing now, no one will stare at me, I will go and come back quickly, it shouldn't attract anyone's attention."
"Gu Yi is in Beijing, and his subordinates are still in Qingping County, are you sure that you can come back safely this time?"
"That's why I wanted my aunt to lend me some manpower."
Aunt Zhang put the tea cup on the table, "You think too simply, the Gu family has been entrenched in Qingping County for many years and has a deep foundation, even if I lend you more people, it will be useless to get to them." If you still recognize me as an aunt, just listen to me, don't go back to Qingping County, and after you enter the household department, let Grandpa Guo find an opportunity to send you there justifiably. β
Hearing the reluctance in her words, Zhang Huai didn't dare to disobey, and immediately said, "My nephew listens to my aunt." β
"Grandpa Guo is already taking care of it, it won't be long before you can go to the household department, you can go out of the house appropriately these days, remember, bring more people."
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the people from the Ministry of Officials came to Song's house, and in addition to them, there were also people from the Ministry of War to escort them to ensure Song Si's safety along the way.
Xu, Meng, and Xiao Yao all came to see them off.
After they left, the Meng clan wanted Song Wanyue and Gu Yi to follow them to the Xu Mansion.
"Let's go over in the evening, I have to discuss the pastry shop with Sister Xiao."
If Song Wanyue opened this pastry shop by herself, Meng would have stopped it, when she married in the capital, her mother's family bought more than a dozen shops in Wang City, and she just gave a few of them, but this was opened by her and Xiao Yao, Meng couldn't stop it, "Don't be too tired, I'll let someone make food for you at night." β
Song Wanyue responded with a smile, and after sending them away, she and Xiao Yao entered the shop in front, these days, the people sent by Xiao Yao have already renovated the shop, and the things that need to be used have been built and sent over, everything is ready, just waiting for the opening.
"Yue'er, when can your friend come?"
Xiao Yao was a little impatient, this was her first time doing business, and she was very excited.
"Maybe not."
Since she decided to open a pastry shop, she asked people to send a letter to the yellow cake couple, but the two have not come yet, so they should not come.
"That ......"
"Sister Xiao finds a few clever people, and I will teach ...... in person"
"Appeal ......"
A carriage stopped in front of the door, and the yellow cake couple with the package on their backs got out of the carriage, and saw Song Wanyue standing in the store at a glance, and the two walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry Miss Song, we're late."
The moment she saw them, Song Wanyue had a smile on her face, "It's not too late, I thought you two wouldn't come." β
"My son really didn't let us come to the old couple, so we talked about it, so he agreed, but fortunately it didn't delay you."
"You two go and rest first, and wait for tomorrow ......"
"Don't wait for tomorrow, we come all the way by carriage, don't get tired, and we can work by washing our hands."
The carriage was rushed by someone sent by Song Wanyue, and there was a thick mattress in it, and the two of them could lie down and rest when they were tired.
Song Wanyue didn't say anything polite to them, called Xiao Si to lead them to the house prepared for them to put down the package, turned her head and asked Xiao Yao, "Sister Xiao, are the things I asked you to prepare ready?" β
"It's been ready for a long time."
Xiao Yao instructed his subordinates to drive the carriage back to the house to get it, and put them on the board one by one after bringing them.
Song Wanyue put on an apron, "I taught you the birthday cake today, and I ate it on the day of your birthday." β
Xiao Yao stood aside curiously, watching intently as she made cake embryos and whipped cream until she made a cake she had never seen before.
The yellow cake couple were also dumbfounded, they thought that Xue Meiniang and the snowy skin mooncakes were already the best pastries they had ever seen, but they didn't expect the birthday cake to open their eyes even more.
"This can also be done in multiple layers, or you can write the words they want on it according to the needs of the guests, and you can also make all kinds of fruits."
Xiao Yao couldn't take her eyes off it, she could say that she had eaten all the famous pastries in the capital, but she had never eaten anything like this.
"IβCan I taste it?"
Song Wanyue smiled and picked up a knife made of bamboo to cut the cake into more than a dozen pieces, took a plate and handed it to her, Xiao Yao didn't care about the rules and etiquette, took a spoon and dug a piece into her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up. It was better than any kind of cake she had eaten, and once it went on sale, it was sure to cause a sensation.
I couldn't wait to ask, "Yue'er, when will we open?" β
"Five days later, everyone in the store will be able to get started."
Xiao Yao nodded, and couldn't help but take a few more bites.
The yellow cake couple also took a plate and made a piece of it themselves to eat, but they didn't even have the time to praise it.
Song Wanyue smiled and put the largest piece on the plate, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Si standing at the door, and said, "Take these down and share them for everyone." β
Xiao Simei responded with a smile, and after Song Wanyue went out, he strode in, first took a piece of the plate and put it aside, and then went out with it, beckoning the little guy and the people from the Dingguo Mansion to come over and eat.
Song Wanyue carried the cake into Gu Yi's house and put it in front of him, "The biggest piece." β
Gu Yi suddenly smiled and squinted when he heard this, he had already smelled the fragrance, but because Xiao Yao didn't go out here, he dug a piece and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious." β
Song Wanyue held her cheeks and watched him finish eating, seeing that there was still cream on his mouth, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him without thinking, "I still have to go out to teach them, if you are bored in the house, go to the house over there." β
Gu Yi looked at her stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yi licked his lips, sent out a little leftover cake with the tip of his tongue, and pointed with his finger, "And." β
Song Wanyue reacted consciously, pressed the handkerchief on his face, got up and walked out.
Gu Yi took off the handkerchief, looked at the direction of the door and grinned, his little girl was about to grow up, but ......
The corners of his mouth slowly drooped.
Song Wanyue taught for an afternoon, the yellow cake couple and the people brought by Xiao Yao basically learned, it was dark, and after sending Xiao Yao away, she got into the carriage with the cake and Gu Yi and returned to Xu's mansion.
