Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Princess Jianing didn't know why she suddenly lost control of her emotions.

From childhood to adulthood, from the capital to Jiangyang, she has seen countless suffering people and has long developed the ability to not be easily influenced by outsiders. But now, looking at Li Yu, she only feels uncomfortable in her heart.

She was only sixteen years old and had already become a widow. Unless she remarried far away in the future, her life would be plotted against by others behind her back.

She transferred all the difficulties that she had faced in the capital over the years and that she had seen widows along the way to Li Yu, and felt sad for her.

"You..." She held Li Yu's hand, "Has anyone bullied you?"

She thought that if Li Yu was bullied, she would do him a favor by changing Li Yu's hometown to another place so that Li Yu could leave here and no longer have to be directed by others.

Li Yu was full of doubts about Princess Jianing's behavior, but still replied: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. The people in the village are all good and no one bullies me."

Li Yu talked to Princess Jianing for a while, and then was arranged to rest.

Princess Jianing wanted to walk around the county in the afternoon and asked her to accompany her.

This was what Princess Jianing came up with. She decided to take Li Yu to various places to show her face in the next few days, so that everyone would know that Li Yu was under her protection and would be more respectful to him.

Li Yu didn't know Princess Jianing's true intention, but gladly accepted her arrangement.

It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to get to know the county. As for accompanying the princess, just be careful, especially since the princess looks like a good person.

She had to ask Li Yayi to help go to the village to pass a message to Xiaomei and Han Zheng. These two knew the reason why she came to the county, and they must be worried to death now.

After coming out of the princess's residence, Li Yu went straight to the gate. Before he even stepped out, he saw Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng waiting in the shade with Li Yayi.

Hearing footsteps, Han Xiaomei turned her head sharply, and seeing Li Yu coming out safely, she finally held back her tears. Han Zheng looked better than Han Xiaomei, but his pale face told Li Yu that he was not as calm as he looked.

"Second sister-in-law." Han Xiaomei trotted to the bottom of the stairs and called out in a low voice.

Li Yu helped her push the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears, looked at Han Zheng and asked, "When did you come?"

"In the morning." Han Zheng said. As soon as the second sister-in-law followed Li Yayi, the two of them followed. They walked from the village to the town, and after arriving in the town, they hired a carriage.

When they arrived outside the villa, the second sister-in-law had just entered the villa.

They were restless for more than an hour. Even though they heard that the princess liked the second sister-in-law's snacks, they did not dare to feel at ease.

"You've worked hard." Li Yu said softly, "I'm fine. The princess is a good person and doesn't hit or scold people casually. Don't worry. I have to accompany the princess to other places in the afternoon. You can find a place to rest first. When I'm done, we can go back together."

After that, she bowed to Li Yayi and said, "Sir, these two are children and are not familiar with the county. I am afraid that something bad will happen to them, so please take them to the inn to rest."

Li Yayi hurriedly said, "These are all trivial matters. Don't worry, Boss Li. I will definitely do it."

As he spoke, Li, the yamen runner, called Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei to follow him.

Li Yu stood there and watched them walk away, looking back every few steps, then turned around and went back to the villa.

Behind the wall not far away, two people dressed as kitchen helpers looked at Li Yu's back and stamped their feet anxiously, "Why did she go back again? Isn't she leaving? If she doesn't come out, how can we explain to the master when we go back?"

Princess Jianing was almost full after having snacks in the morning. She couldn't eat anything solid at noon and just wanted to drink something. Li Yu looked at the situation in the kitchen, took out the remaining milk from the ice cellar, found green tea, sugar and dried jasmine flowers, and made a cup of jasmine milk tea and sent it over.

"Did you learn this in your dream?" Princess Jianing swallowed a mouthful of milk tea, with surprise in her eyes and eyebrows.

Li Yu lowered his eyes and said yes.

"It seems that God wants you to be successful so that he can make these new and delicious things." She waved her hand, and the girl next to her immediately took out a purse and handed it to Li Yu.

"These are all gold leaves, not worth much, you can take them and use them as a supplement to your household expenses."

Li Yu thanked him immediately.

Princess Jianing was not someone who liked to run around in the hot weather. After drinking milk tea, she read a storybook for another hour before going out.

Li Yu followed on one side.

Princess Jianing did not intend to hide her identity. In addition to the little girl and Li Yu, she brought seven or eight other guards with her, making her particularly conspicuous when walking on the road.

When the street vendors saw this, they were very respectful. When the brave pedestrians saw this, they stood still. The timid ones avoided it early and hid at home.

Fortunately, Princess Jianing had already gotten used to this situation and was not affected by it.

The group strolled for about an hour and stopped outside Tianxiang Tower.

*

Tianxianglou is a famous restaurant in the county. It is built facing the lake. Standing in the private room on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the lake.

The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower knew that the princess was coming, and welcomed her in with a beaming face.

Princess Jianing was feeling tired, so she followed him upstairs into the private room.

As soon as we sat down in the private room, several waiters arrived and each brought two plates of snacks.

"Princess, this is our Tianxianglou dim sum, please try it." The shopkeeper introduced it in a slightly flattering manner. There were six plates of dim sum, and as long as Princess Jianing liked one of them, his dim sum would have no problem selling in the future.

Princess Jianing wanted to give the shopkeeper some face, but when she turned around, she saw that they were serving mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, red bean cakes, and pea cakes. She couldn't tell what the other two dishes were, but just by looking at them, she knew they must be very dry and would be choking if eaten.

With a lump in her throat, Princess Jianing waved her hands and said, "I have no appetite now. Bring me two pots of tea first."

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou didn't expect her to be so disrespectful, and smiled reluctantly, "Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away."

*

In the kitchen of Tianxiang Tower, the chef became so angry that his face turned red when he heard the waiter say that Princess Jianing had not touched any of the desserts.

Cheng Danian's dim sum is famous throughout the county, and he believes that his dim sum is not much worse than that of the chefs in the provincial capital. However, Princess Jianing refused him twice in a row, which was simply throwing his face to the ground and stepping on it.

Cheng Danian was so angry that he was spinning around. Just then he saw the shopkeeper coming down and hurried forward to ask, "Shopkeeper, did the princess say why she didn't want to eat?"

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou frowned and said, "How should I know?"

Cheng Danian: “…”

The shopkeeper said, "That Li girl is really capable. The princess even brought her along when she went out for a stroll. I don't know how she managed to make the princess like her so much."

When Cheng Danian heard Li Yu's name, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Boss, I want to compete with the guy named Li."

The shopkeeper was stunned. "You are crazy. The princess likes her work. How can you compare with her?"
