What kind of twists and turns did the Hou Mansion have because of this gift from the General's Mansion, Su Hengyu, who was on Zhuangzi, didn't know at all.

She looked at the large and small pieces in front of her, and was a little helpless for a while.

The steward of the General's Mansion under the steps didn't know what she was thinking, and continued to speak obediently: "My wife will say it when she goes back, saying that Miss Su, you are kind and generous. At the critical moment, he lent a helping hand to help them, not to mention, but also gave his wife special food. ”

"My wife has been having a bad appetite these days, and thanks to the food on your Zhuangzi, she has survived the old disease. That's why I brought something over today to thank her, saying that when she recovers, she will come to Zhuangzi to thank her! ”

This steward's attitude towards Su Hengyu was very enthusiastic, and although he spoke a little exaggerated, he was also very measured.

It's just a few words, and the few maids who followed Su Hengyu all had a good impression of the steward.

Su Hengyu also replied with a smile: "The general's wife is really polite, I just lent out a room that day, and I didn't do anything beside it." It was her own people who took care of her wife, and it was also her doctor who helped her through her illness. If you give me all the credit for this, I'm embarrassed. ”

"Madame doesn't need to thank me personally, if Madame is willing to come to my village in her spare time, I am very welcome. However, I have only been in Zhuangzi for a few days, and many places here have to be rebuilt, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to entertain Mrs. in a short time. ”

Su Hengyu still has a good impression of this Mrs. Xie, not only because of the other party's husband's many contributions to the people of Dawei, but also because among the noblewomen in Beijing, she is the only one who has never said a bad word about herself outside.

No matter how this lady acted behind her back, she gave herself enough face in front of people, and Su Hengyu was willing to give her more kindness.

Su Hengyu's answer made the steward very satisfied, it was one thing for them to praise each other's merits, but it was another thing for the other party to be proud of their achievements.

Besides, this Miss Su is very good at talking, and her attitude towards her wife is also very good. The steward once again sighed that his wife really knows how to look at people, and this Miss Su is not at all as vicious and rude as the little boy said.

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Su Hengyu accepted these thanks, and the steward of the General's Mansion turned around and left.

In fact, according to Su Hengyu's thoughts, this simple gesture would not require so many thanks, but she knew that if she didn't accept it, it would inevitably make the other party think that she wanted to repay her favor and covet more benefits from the General's Mansion.

Not long after this episode, there was some progress on Song Zhien's side.

……

"Princess, the steward of the restaurant came over today and said that he had something important to discuss with you."

The eldest princess Wei Zining had just come out of the palace and returned to her princess's mansion when she heard the housekeeper come to report.

There is only one Fenghelou restaurant under her name, and there is only one manager of the restaurant, although she doesn't know how the manager of Fenghelou suddenly found her, after all, today is not yet the day to come to report to her every month.

But Wei Zining still let people pass him to his study.

Steward Liu of Fenghelou came with great confidence this time, not only did he come himself, but he also brought a special food box made by Fenghelou.

"Your Highness, please see." Steward Liu brought out a few plates of dishes in the food box one by one, and the dishes that he had never seen before made Wei Zining instantly interested, "Your Highness, you can taste it, this is made by the chef of our restaurant." ”

The eunuch beside Wei Zining originally wanted to come up to test the poison, but she waved it back, she raised her chopsticks and tasted every dish on the table.

Although the taste was not as good as the ones she ate in the palace, the taste was full of novelty.

"This is a new dish researched by our restaurant? Yes, yes, Steward Liu should be rewarded, and the cook should also be rewarded. ”

Steward Liu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness, don't worry, this dish was not developed by our restaurant." This thing is called tofu. ”

As Steward Liu spoke, he took out a piece of complete and clean tofu: "It's not clear how to do it exactly, this is a person surnamed Song who specially brought it to our restaurant to seek cooperation." ”

"Oh? Looking for me to work with? "Celestia is a little interested.

She was a princess who was deeply favored by the emperor, and she had a princess mansion outside the palace before she got married, which was very unreasonable in the eyes of many men.

Because of this, although no one dared to say anything about her on the surface, the group of scholars in private did not say anything bad about her.

Therefore, although her restaurant business is good, no one is willing to cooperate with her. Most of the people who come to eat in the restaurant are women.

It was the first time she had heard a man holding something and trying to work with her.

"It's just ......," Steward Liu dragged out the last note.

Wei Zining waved his hand impatiently: "You can say whatever you want, don't pretend here." ”

Steward Liu immediately asked for a crime salute: "Your Highness, it's just that the master behind this person is the eldest lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." ”

"Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion?" Wei Zining quickly found the relevant information about that person in his mind, "Su Hengyu? ”

At the same time, like Wei Zining, there are also the third prince Wei Cheng'an, and the Duchess of Chengguo.

It's just that the tone of the former is mostly curious, while the latter two are disgusted.

When the third prince heard this name, he left and threw away the chopsticks in his hand: "What kind of good things can that person make, why don't you send them to me without checking them?" ”

He turned his head to pick up the teacup and drank several sips of water before spitting out the residue in his mouth.

The restaurant steward originally wanted to say something more, but the third prince didn't want to hear it anymore. He waved his sleeves and drove the person out directly, and said bluntly: "No matter what Su Hengyu makes, you won't send it to me in the future." ”

He has a very good relationship with Zhou Xun, and even has more pity for Su Baozhu. Therefore, he is very disgusted with Su Hengyu, who provokes two people everywhere and wants to break up the two.

And the steward of Jingchun Building was reprimanded by his master, and he asked someone to drive him out of the house, and he was even more unhappy.

He cursed Su Hengyu and the others fiercely, and decided that if the surnamed Song came to the door again, he would definitely ask the guy to blast him out.

As for the Duchess Guo's side, her reaction was not as big as that of the third prince, she just waved her hand to the shopkeeper of the restaurant: "Forget it, now that the Hou Mansion has given up this daughter, if I cooperate with her, won't it affect myself?" ”

The Duchess knew that the British family liked Su Baozhu's daughter-in-law very much, and even did not hesitate to put pressure on the Marquis of Zhongyong for her.

Although they are in a good situation in the Chengguo Mansion, she doesn't want to make her family and the British Duke rival for the sake of a woman whose reputation has been ruined.

So soon, Song Zhien's three posts got two replies, one of which was arrogant, belittleing him and his master. The other, though polite, also explicitly refused.

He sighed and slowly put the post away: "Now, it depends on whether the eldest princess can discern the pearls." ”
