The passenger ship arrived in Yuhang around the hour of Mao.

When the sunlight shone into the inner room, Mingyue lay on the bed for a long time before she realized that Yu Youyou had already disembarked. She got up with a bit of sadness and put on her clothes. "Did Sister Yu leave any message for me?"

Zhizhi and Taotao shook their heads and did not respond.

Mingyue knew there was nothing left for her. Her head drooped even lower, and she sighed deeply, "Never mind, let's have breakfast."

"Yes."

When I got to the table, I realized today's breakfast wasn't as fancy as usual. It was just a simple pot of white porridge, crispy fried dough sticks, and some side dishes...

A memory came flooding back to her:

"Mingyue, if I asked you to choose your favorite food for breakfast, what would you choose?" Yu Youyou chatted while standing beside Mingyue and painting.

Mingyue said without even looking up, "Of course it's porridge and side dishes. Of course, I also like fried dough sticks, but I don't like crispy ones. I like the soft ones."

She was painting so seriously that she didn't notice Yu Youyou's thoughtful expression.

"This... was made for me by Sister Yu?" Mingyue was a little surprised. Could a young lady like Yu Youyou also cook?

"Miss! How did you know?" Zhizhi was the first to say something. God knows how long she had been holding it in. She was so touched by such sisterly love.

Mingyue personally picked up the bowl, scooped two large spoonfuls, and tasted it. The rice aroma was rich, but a little too thick.

I guess Yu Youyou made it early in the morning and kept it warm on the stove, but she didn't expect that she would get up so late.

Eating warm porridge and taking a bite of tender fried dough sticks, I feel complete.

After eating and drinking, Mingyue sat by the window, watching the sailboats coming and going nearby and gazing into the distance. She wondered if Sister Yu had arrived home yet? Was she still packing?

"Mingyue? What are you doing?" Jiang Mengrou calculated the time to find her.

"Mom," Mingyue stretched out her hand listlessly, asking for a hug.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Mengrou touched her head, "Are you reluctant to leave your sister Yu?"

Mingyue nodded and huddled in Jiang Mengrou's chest.

"Silly boy, it's not like we'll never see each other again, why are you crying?"

Mingyue buried her head even deeper, "I'm just a little bit sad!"

"Hey, where did you learn this little tune? Why does it sound so much like the way the folks in Minzhou speak?" Jiang Mengrou found it very interesting. How could her daughter learn it when she was far away in the capital?

Hearing this, Mingyue jumped out of her arms and said, "Humph, I'm a genius! I can count with my fingers, right?"

Jiang Mengrou covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahahaha, no wonder your grandmother always calls you a monkey, how can it be so funny? Where did you learn these words?"

Mingyue shook her head and said, "It can only be understood, not expressed in words~" She put her hands behind her back, walked to the door, and looked up at the sky.

"Hahahahahahahaha, oh little Mingyue, my dear little darling, how come your little mouth has become so clever after just one year?"

"Hmph." Mingyue said coldly. How could I possibly tell you that my roommate in my previous life was from there? In this world, besides Northeastern dialect and Sichuan dialect, motorcycle dialect is the most popular.

In an instant, Mingyue began to look forward to life in Minzhou.

She quickly walked to her mother, put her arms around Jiang Mengrou's neck and said, "Mom, what do people in Minzhou like to eat? Is there anything fun and interesting in Minzhou?"

This really stumped Jiang Mengrou. She usually either helped Zhao Yunshan deal with problems or was busy with household matters and contacting local ladies. How could she have time to go out and play?

She evaded the question, "Well, you should ask your second brother."

"No, my second brother only went to places that boys like to go. He either visited weapons stores or went to restaurants to eat. There was no local flavor." Mingyue recalled Minghao's bragging at the time. They were all things that she was not very interested in.

"Oh, by the way, mother, Sister Yu gave me a few shops and a small house yesterday!" Mingyue said happily.

Zhizhi immediately understood and ran into the house to take out the deeds. Mingyue took them and showed them to Jiang Mengrou.

"Mom, look! Isn't Sister Yu very generous? She's so nice to me!"

"Yes, yes, your sister Yu is the best." Jiang Mengrou didn't take it seriously at first, until those light pieces of paper were placed in front of her. She looked at them carefully and realized that these shops were not small businesses.

Whether it is the location where he is located or the business he runs, they are not ordinary things, and some are even valuable.

She analyzed them one by one, "This one is located in the very center of Minzhou and seems to cover quite a large area."

"This one isn't far from our home."

“Although this place is not close to the center of Minzhou, it is near the most famous Kaiyuan Temple. People coming and going will come here to drink tea and sit for a while.”

"This... this is quite valuable. It's from the largest jewelry store in Minzhou, called Xiaojin Pavilion. It seems that Yu Youyou, who isn't your biological sister but is more like one, really treats you like one."

Mingyue's chin gradually moved closer to the floor as Jiang Mengrou introduced one thing after another. "Ah, this, this, this, should I return it?"

Jiang Mengrou tapped her nose and said, "You, you, look at how little you have. After all, you are still the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can you not accept such a small profit?"

Mingyue scratched her head embarrassedly, "I heard from my mother that it's too expensive."

Jiang Mengrou's mind was buzzing. She didn't know why her daughter always felt that others were so powerful and rich.

Not to mention the extra money, just look at her own little treasury. The silver notes and gold alone are several times more than these pieces of paper. Why does she always envy others?

At this moment, Jiang Mengrou's little finger was quietly grasped by a chubby little hand, "Mom, can you tell me why Uncle Yu Feng is an official, but his family is so rich?"

Mingyue clung to her mother, her long eyelashes fluttering. Jiang Mengrou couldn't resist, "Ahem, pour me a cup of tea."

"Okay!" Mingyue picked up the teapot and began to pour water, holding it to Jiang Mengrou, "The tea is here, please take it~"

Jiang Mengrou sighed in her heart, alas, the daughter who was a well-behaved lady yesterday is gone forever~ But she couldn't stop smiling on her face.

"Your Uncle Yu's family was very poor. It was only after he passed the imperial examination that he met your sister Yu's mother."

"Your sister Yu's mother's family is not very prominent, but they are a truly wealthy family. They have been rich for more than ten generations, but their descendants have never been prosperous. In this generation, there is only Yu Youyou's mother."

"And Yu Youyou's mother also passed away early. Tell me, wouldn't the huge family business fall into Youyou's hands?"
