The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Jiang Li didn't refuse anymore.

She accepted the pair of jewelry given by Mrs. Song, and had originally planned to give all the dozen or so new sets of clothes to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li only picked out a few sets of clothes as he would be returning to Yunzhou City soon.

The climate between Yunzhou City and the capital is quite different, so there is no need to wear such thick clothes.

In this case, Mrs. Song did not force it.

"It's okay, you can keep it. Next time you come to the capital, just stay at my house. This room is reserved for you."

The two chatted happily.

Mrs. Song invited Jiang Li to have lunch.

Just as they were preparing to eat, Mrs. Wu came with her daughter, nephews and nieces.

Mrs. Wu seems to have a very cheerful personality, and you can hear her voice before you see her.

Just as Mr. and Mrs. Song and Jiang Li were preparing to have dinner, Mrs. Wu arrived.

"Mother Qiu, I heard that your future daughter-in-law is here?"

As the voices were heard, Mrs. Wu also came in.

Mrs. Song looked at her and ordered the maid to bring a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Mrs. Wu's skin is slightly darker than Mrs. Song's, but her eyes look very bright.

Standing behind her were Wu Siting and others. They all lowered their heads slightly because they had been scolded by Mrs. Song in the morning.

But when Jiang Li looked over, there was some resentment in his eyes.

Jiang Li roughly guessed who the person in front of him was.

Mrs. Song asked Mrs. Wu to sit down.

"This is Jiang Li, the girl the emperor gave Yun Ting to marry."

Mrs. Song introduced her to her sister-in-law from her natal family.

Then he looked at Jiang Li and said, "This is Yun Ting's aunt, the wife of General Zhenbei."

Jiang Li bowed to Mrs. Wu.

Madam Song said to Madam Wu, "You came here specially because you knew that Ah Li was leaving the capital?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Wu Siting and said, "Did Ting'er go home and complain? Did I, her aunt, scold her?"

Wu Siting almost buried her head in her rice bowl.

Madam Wu laughed out loud. "We have spoiled this girl to the point of her being lawless. We should teach her a lesson. After all, she will be staying in the capital for the next two or three years. The capital is not as good as the border. She should be careful with her words and actions."

Mrs. Wu herself was reluctant to educate her child, but she was not opposed to Mrs. Song's approach.

After all, she is family, it is impossible for him to deliberately make things difficult for his own daughter.

The Song family and the Wu family are in-laws. Now Song Yunting and the men in his family are going to war together. The two families will prosper and suffer together.

Mrs. Wu is not that petty.

She asked Wu Siting to apologize to Jiang Li.

Wu Siting has been in the capital for a few days. Under the guidance of Madam Wu and Madam Song, she has met many noble ladies in the capital, but she can't play with them.

If she continues to get angry with the Song family, she will have nowhere to go.

Wu Siting thought it over again and again, stood up uncomfortably, and apologized to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't care whether she was sincere or not, as they didn't spend much time together in the future.

In front of several elders, Jiang Li accepted it very generously.

"Sister, you are too polite. If you are bored in the future, you sisters can come and play with me. I will treat you all to Duanji Hotpot."

Jiang Li gave the address with a smile.

Mrs. Song followed up and said, "Is it a hot pot restaurant that has recently opened in Beijing? This restaurant has become very famous in Beijing these days."

Among the ladies' circle, this store is more or less heard of quite frequently.

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Song, who had been silent on the side, began to speak.

"It's really popular. Some colleagues want to go there and I heard they need to make a reservation three days in advance."

Jiang Li reminded: "When we first came to your house, did you remember the young master of the Duan family? It is the Duan family's property."

After hearing what Jiang Li said, everyone, including Wu Siting, looked over.

"So, it seems that we don't need to make a reservation in advance when we go to eat there?"

Mrs. Song asked.

In fact, what she wanted to ask most was whether there were any private rooms. After all, Wu Siting was a girl and had not yet been betrothed.

Jiang Li seemed to know their concerns and said, "We are already preparing to add a few more private rooms."

So, they put aside their grudges while talking and made an appointment to have dinner at Duan's Hot Pot Restaurant in two days.

After Jiang Li finished his meal, he stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wu remembered that the gift she brought for Jiang Li had not yet been given away.

Jiang Li returned to the Duan family villa and was about to find Duan Yuanzhou to discuss reserving a private room.

Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Zou was also there, and he said it in front of them.

Duan Yuanzhou responded readily.

The two continued to talk about business in front of Jiang Li.

From what they said, it seemed like they wanted to open another hotpot restaurant.

Jiang Li paused while eating the cut fruit and looked at Duan Yuanzhou, "Aren't we ready to leave the capital in four days?"

There is only about a month left before the Chinese New Year, so I'm afraid it's too late.

Duan Yuanzhou nodded, "So let Uncle Zou help find a place first."

Now that the hot pot restaurant has just opened, we must quickly promote the Duan family’s brand, otherwise people in the capital will soon realize it, and by then there will be hot pot restaurants everywhere.

This time when he returns home, he will discuss it with his elder brother. Once his elder brother agrees, the business here can be started immediately.

Duan Yuanzhou estimated that he would have to come to the capital twice next year.

Jiang Li listened with a thoughtful look on her face. This was a good thing for her.

Soon, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After obtaining Duan Yuanzhou's consent and confirming with Manager Zou, Jiang Li sent someone to deliver a verbal message to the Song Mansion.

The Duan family's hot pot restaurant used to have a small attic, which has long been demolished, so the private rooms are not located in the attic.

Instead, it was in the backyard. Across the street from the backyard there was a small courtyard, which was bought by the Duan family and arranged into multiple rooms.

The reason was that many dignitaries also wanted to eat at the hot pot restaurant, but they were not used to eating in the lobby. After Manager Yao and Duan Yuanzhou discussed it, they finally decided on this plan.

They acted very quickly and finished the task in just three to five days.

On that day, the Song family and the Wu family arrived at the back door of the hot pot restaurant one after another and went directly into the private room in the small courtyard.

Inside, Prime Minister Song unexpectedly met several colleagues.

Song Zhaocheng was surprised, and his colleagues were even more surprised that he would come here.

The officials from the imperial court who came were naturally of lower status than Song Zhaocheng, and they were extremely terrified.

Fortunately, everyone relaxed once they entered their respective boxes.

Jiang Li was waiting at the hot pot restaurant early.

As soon as everyone arrived, he immediately asked the waiter to serve the food.

Considering that none of them had ever eaten chili peppers, Jiang Li prepared a clear oil hot pot base for everyone, which was fragrant and not too spicy.

This is the first time we have seen this guy.

"This soup is red and black. Can I eat it?"

Wu Siting asked what everyone wanted to ask.

Madam Wu scolded from the side: "Even food can't stop your mouth!"
