The general kneels on the washboard again

Yue Niang and Jiang Yunxiao arrived at Pinmingju and found that the interior was almost as good as new.

At some point, Li An also arrived here and is now tidying up the tables and chairs.

Not noticing the passing of time, Yue Niang thought it was still spring, but when she looked at the fallen leaves, the ground was already covered with withered yellow.

"Ang Lee, long time no see." Jiang Yunxiao extended a long-awaited greeting.

Li An looked at Jiang Yunxiao: "Hey, Yunxiao, why are you here?"

The two people excitedly reminisced about the past.

What Yue Niang was thinking was that Sister Erya needed care right now, so why was Li An in the store?

After the two of them finished reminiscing about the past, they asked, "Brother Li An, why aren't you at Guangrentang taking care of Sister Erya?"

Li An said embarrassedly: "Yue Niang, last time you said that you would be paid for helping Brother Zhang and the others clean up Pin Ming Ju, do you still mean it?"

Yue Niang was stunned. "Of course it counts. What's the matter? Brother Li An, are you in urgent need of money recently?"

Li An said, "No, no, I'm leaving for Yunzhou in two days, so I wanted to earn some more money."

Yue Niang couldn't quite tell from his expression, so she just said, "It counts."

Ruoyan and Mrs. Zhu came out from the kitchen with a few basins of water. "Hey, Yue Niang, are you okay?"

Ruoyan was a little surprised. She had tried to knock on the door these days, but Yue Niang ignored her.

Seeing the handsome young man standing next to Yue Niang, he felt a little embarrassed: "Yue Niang, who is this?"

Jiang Yunxiao introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Yunxiao, um, I'm Yue Niang's brother Yunxiao. You can just call me Yunxiao. They all call me that."

This sounded mean, Yue Niang frowned and punched him again: "Don't even think about eating tonight."

Jiang Yunxiao was petrified: "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Mrs. Zhu still had some impression of him, and she said frankly, "You are Young Master Jiang, right?"

Jiang Yunxiao smiled politely. No matter how you look at it, this face of his attracts romance. He is destined to be a scholar and spend his days fighting and killing.

After a simple greeting, Jiang Yunxiao was a little puzzled: "Yue Niang, you are such a good cook, why don't you open a restaurant? Open a teahouse?"

Yue Niang threw a rag at him and said, "It's so difficult to run a restaurant, but the process of running a teahouse is simple."

Jiang Yunxiao seemed to see through her again: "I guess you don't have enough money?" Jiang Yunxiao was complacent.

Yue Niang rolled her eyes at him. "That's the reason, but I've saved enough over the past few years. I don't want to open a restaurant in Qingshi Town, as the restaurants here are already saturated. Besides, I've sold so many secret recipes to Cui Xin Lou, so if I open another restaurant now, I'm not sure the business will be very good."

Jiang Yunxiao was so frustrated. In the past few years, his mother forced him to study day and night, and even lied to him that studying would make him smart. Now it seemed that he was not as good as a young girl.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, Mother, you lied to me.

Cao Jin, who was far away in Kyoto, sneezed several times. He also felt that his son had been too well-behaved recently, which was a bit unusual. He asked the maid beside him, "Master, are you still not going out today?"

The maid shook her head: "No, Madam, it was Protector Jiang who came to pick up the food."

"Forget it. Maybe my tone was a little harsh that day. Master came back in a hurry and didn't have time to see him. He left again. I will go see him after the banquet at the Marquis Zhongyi's house is over."

Jiang Hu, who ate two meals a day, was also desperate: "Master, when will you come back?"

Jiang Yunxiao from Qingshi Town also sneezed and muttered to himself, "Who's missing me?"

Yue Niang laughed at him: "Could it be that your sneaking away was discovered?"

"Crow's Mouth."

Looking at the two people who were trying to sabotage each other, Ruoyan couldn't help but support them. These two people are quite a match.

Ruoyan, who understood this idea, shook her head violently: "No, no, no, I must be crazy."

Yue Niang saw Ruoyan, who was laughing like a crazy aunt, and asked: "Ruoyan, what are you laughing at?"

Ruoyan hurriedly shook her head: "Nothing, did I laugh? Oh, by the way, Yue Niang, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he pulled Yue Niang into the inner room and told her about his conversation with Yu Sui today. He also added: "I wanted to tell you when she came to see me a few days ago, but you were sick all the time."

Yue Niang nodded and took Ruoyan's hand affectionately: "She probably doesn't have the energy to take the next step right now. Let's continue packing and open the store tomorrow."

The two walked out arm in arm.

It is not a new thing for the Ding family to take a concubine. It has happened several times over the years, and Yu Sui has stopped them every time.

But this time Zhang Lan'er is pregnant, and it may not be so easy to deal with her. Yu Sui is really worried.

Looking at Ding Hao who was reciting the text, he said, "Hao'er, since you still have the heart to recite the text, please help me think of a solution."

She didn't know that Ding Hao had already been bribed by Zhang Lan'er.

Ding Hao, in turn, tried to persuade Yu Sui: "Mother, what's wrong with Concubine Zhang? Why can't you tolerate her?"

"Ding Hao, what did you say?" Yu Sui was a little angry.

Ding Hao thought she hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated, "Mother, Aunt Zhang can cook, tell jokes, and she has many picture books. Please don't stop blocking her from coming in."

Yu Sui was now completely furious. He rushed over and pushed aside the pile of books in front of Ding Hao, where he found many picture books that he refused to read.

Looking at those books, he laughed loudly: "Zhang Lan'er, Zhang Lan'er, how dare you touch my Hao'er."

He pulled Ding Hao and carried the pile of books to Ding Jingen's yard and threw them all in front of him.

"Take a good look at what awful things your darlings have done."

Ding Jingen flipped through the pages carefully and smiled triumphantly, "Hao'er is a boy, and he'll carry on the family line in the future. Isn't this a good thing?"

Yu Sui was furious: "Good news? Hao'er is at the critical moment of his studies now. If you insist on doing this, I will take Hao'er back to Yunzhou."

Ding Jingen was also panicking: "Madam, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Don't bother your father-in-law all the time."

"Ding Jingen, I really misjudged you." Chalcedony's tears flowed out like trickles.

But Ding Jingen was annoyed by the tears: "Stop crying, okay? I'm confiscating these picture books. Hao'er is not allowed to read them anymore."

Yu Sui pulled Hao'er back to the yard: "Hao'er, tell me honestly, why did you get involved with that bitch?"

Ding Hao also obediently told the whole story: "My father took me there, and Aunt Zhang even made me my favorite soup."

No one can understand the pain that Yucui feels for the son he raised with so much effort.

For so many years, there have been many concubines in the backyard, but none of them have children. However, Zhang Lan'er is pregnant. I'm afraid that bastard Ding Jingen still thinks it was his own fault.

But judging from his poor fighting ability, I'm afraid the problem lies with himself.

After sending Ding Hao back to the courtyard and taking care of him until he fell asleep, he calmed himself down and asked someone to check on Zhang Lan'er's recent whereabouts.

The days passed seemingly peacefully, and Jiang Yunxiao also moved into Yue Niang's house.

After Pinmingju reopened, Jiang Yunxiao also took on the role of waiter and signboard, attracting bees and butterflies.
