I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

When Zhao Rulan went to the pastry shop, it was the busiest time there.

Cheng Yu was not idle either. He was either staring at the various ovens in the back kitchen or watching the counter in front to prevent any mistakes.

"Business is really good. I feel relieved."

Zhao Rulan looked at Cheng Yu and said.

"Miss, when did you come back from Jiangbei City? The day before last, when I went to the palace to see Sister Yan, she already called me by my name. It's really fast."

"Sister Yan is very smart. She can say anything once you teach her."

"I just came back two days ago. I slept all day yesterday and just started working now." Zhao Rulan said to her with a smile.

Cheng Yu asked, "Miss, have you dealt with all the business in Jiangbei City?"

"It's taken care of."

Cheng Yu took her upstairs and found a private room.

He saw that the door of a private room was slightly open, and the person sitting inside was the second wife of Marquis Zhenyuan, Madam Fang Mingqiao of the Yang family.

She came by herself, with a maid by her side, and there was some food on the table.

Zhao Rulan was the boss behind the shop, and had a close relationship with Prince Jing's Mansion and Marquis Zhenyuan, so she immediately stepped forward and greeted them.

"Madam Hou, you don't have to be polite. Just sit down and talk."

"Look at this belly, it's really big."

Fang Mingqiao smiled uncomfortably, "Since they are twins, the belly will be bigger. Please take a seat, young lady."

Zhao Rulan said to Cheng Yu, "Yu'er, you go ahead and do your work. I'll have a word with Madam Hou. Come find me in the next room later."

"Well, you guys chat first. Someone ordered a gift box for the New Year, I'll go take care of it first."

Last year, Mr. Cai Kun wanted to place an order, but the price this year could not be cheap. Cai Kun also made an order. He said that he had set his sights on the pastries made by Cheng Yu.

He inadvertently said that the cakes he ordered from Cheng Yu were all sold to Jiangbei City.

It turned out that he was a busy business businessman.

That’s right. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year last year, Cai Kun made a lot of money from the cakes made by Cheng Yu.

Otherwise, why would he order 200 boxes of pastries when Cheng Yu had raised the prices this year?

Zhao Rulan chatted with Fang Mingqiao for a few words, and then asked Dingxiang to tell Cheng Yu to send two more kinds of pastries to Fang Mingqiao.

Dingxiang stood in front of Cheng Yu and said these words. Then Cheng Yu asked a little maid to send her off.

Seeing that Dingxiang had not left, she took out a piece of taro cake and gave it to Dingxiang.

"Yu'er, this taro paste cake is so sweet, and not greasy at all."

"It tastes good, right? When you leave later, take some to the sisters in Yinlan Garden. Sister Dingxiang, I have packed the knee pads and two pairs of socks you gave me and will send them to my brother."

Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Ding Xiang suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Who asked you this..."

Cheng Yu pursed his lips, "Whatever you want to ask, I know it without you even opening your mouth."

"That's not it. I want to tell you that the eldest lady let Zhu'er go, saying that it was after the Lantern Festival after the New Year. It's just right that Zhu'er can collect more rewards if she spends the New Year in the palace."

"Are you sure?" Cheng Yu was happy.

After Zhu'er comes out, she can also come to work in the pastry shop.

Zhang, the vegetable sender, helped Cheng Yu a lot, especially when Cheng Yu was reinstated as a good citizen and was running around outside to help the young lady, it was Zhang, the vegetable sender, who accompanied her all the time.

Later, the eldest girl was released from prison and Zhu'er was also released.

She began to hand over the braised meat business to her grandmother, Madam Cheng, and Zhang, the food deliveryman, seldom asked her to help.

But from what my grandmother said, I learned that Zhang Yuanjie is a pretty good man.

Cheng Yu thought that after Zhu'er left the house, she would open a braised meat shop. Cheng Yu gave all the ingredients for making the braised meat to Hehua, and the taste of Hehua's braised meat was no worse than hers.

Lotus can be made at home or in a shop, and Zhuer can go to her to pick it up and then put it in another shop for distribution.

Zhu'er loves braised meat so much, so it's definitely possible.

Cheng Yu didn't tell Ding Xiang about his thoughts, after all, Zhu'er hadn't come out yet.

After hearing some news about Cheng Bin from Cheng Yu, Ding Xiang went upstairs to serve her master with peace of mind.

While Cheng Yu was preparing winter clothes for the Crown Prince Zhao Shiyan and his brother Cheng Bin, he received a letter.

The letter was written by Zhao Shiyan, and mostly told her not to worry about his safety. He also mentioned Cheng Bin, saying that he was very brave and it was only a matter of time before he would achieve military merit.

The people who were most happy to hear that Cheng Bin had made military achievements were Cheng Yu and Ding Xiang.

However, Cheng Yu would go to the second floor later to talk to the eldest girl about things happening at the border and the clothes prepared by her master.

When Cheng Yu went upstairs, he brought some scented tea.

Just as he reached the second floor, he was stopped by Fang Mingqiao's maid.

"Miss Yu, my wife wants you to come over for a moment."

Cheng Yu called the maid Xiaoxin and asked her to bring her scented tea to Zhao Rulan's room.

"Ming Qiao." Cheng Yu called her.

Ever since they became sisters, Cheng Yu called her Ming Qiao and she called Cheng Yu Sister Yu.

"Sister Yu, I'm dying to eat the pickled cabbage noodles you made that day. When are you going to the Marquis' Mansion? You haven't been there for a long time."

"Are you greedy?" Cheng Yu chuckled, "After I'm done with these two days, I'll go to your place before the New Year."

"Thank you, Sister Yu." Fang Mingqiao said obediently.

Cheng Yu knew that Fang Mingqiao had a hard time too.

A distant cousin of Zhenyuan Marquis Yang Huaiyuan entered the marquis's mansion.

That cousin always bullies people secretly, and Fang Mingqiao is the poor one who gets bullied.
