Liu Jiangyue opened her eyes wide, holding Song Jinshu's hand in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes as she asked, "Really? Cousin, you said my grandfather and parents will clear their name, right?"

"Yes! So don't worry. If that Nanzhen Hou dares to bully you, tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

If it were in the past, Song Jinshu might not have dared to confront these powerful people because of his weakness.

But now that the emperor has given her a token that represents him, even the eldest princess doesn't dare to show off in front of her.

Why should she be afraid of a mere Marquis of Nanzhen?

Liu Jiangyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and couldn't help but feel fortunate that she believed in her cousin. If she had listened to Xiao Tan, she would have gone to Kyoto without any status or position.

It is hard to say whether I can clear the grievances of my grandfather and others, but what is certain is that I will become his appendage and become a lowly person.

Although she was the daughter of a merchant, she was also well-mannered and had a sense of propriety. Xiao Tan kept saying that he liked her, but he frequently sent people to her house to ask her to go to Kyoto to find him.

How could she not understand the principle of becoming a concubine?

"In this life, I, Liu Jiangyue, do not seek a loving partner to grow old with. I only hope to realize my own wish, expand my shop and build my own business!"

"What a great ambition! Yue'er, I believe in you!" Song Jinshu looked at Liu Jiangyue with admiration.

Among her sisters, this cousin is the most independent-minded and the one who does things steadily and reliably.

Maybe she could play to her strengths and work together to build a family business?

When she retires and returns home, wouldn't it be nice to live out the rest of her life relying on this family property?

However, the cooperation between the two will have to wait until the Liu family is rescued.

With the Liu family covering for him, he doesn't have to worry about being impeached by the censor.

Everyone had dinner together, and then, at Liu Lanru's kind recommendation, went out to the night market together.

The night market is even more lively than the daytime. There are all kinds of performers on the street and many fun games.

Song Jinshu then threw the pot again, but missed...

Feeling really bored, I wandered around and enjoyed the night view of Shunan Prefecture.

"I heard that the talented men from Songjun Academy are all reciting poems and composing essays at Fulai Restaurant tonight! And the talented women from the capital are also going to perform on stage!"

"Is the news true?"

"Really! Let's hurry over and grab a good spot, otherwise we won't be able to squeeze in when there are too many people!"

"Then hurry up! I saw a lot of people going there."

……

Song Jinshu overheard the discussion among the people next to him and immediately became interested, so he followed them to Fulai Restaurant.

On the road, she met a lot of people pushing in one direction. She was accidentally pushed out and stepped on by someone. She was in so much pain that she hugged her foot and turned around.

"Don't you have any manners? Pushing someone is one thing, but stepping on their feet is just a big deal."

However, no one paid attention to her dissatisfaction, and the crowd continued to squeeze together. Song Jinshu couldn't stand it anymore and had to move to the side to avoid being stepped on again.

Because there were so many people, all the good seats were taken, and she couldn't see the front at all from where she was.

Helpless to miss the fun, Song Jinshu had to give up and prepare to leave.

"Come with me!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side. When I looked up, it was Lu Ruoyu.

"Ruoyu, are you here to watch the fun too?"

When she went out earlier, she sent someone to greet him, but he was not at the inn.

She didn't expect that the two of them would meet here, which made her very curious.

Lu Ruoyu protected him from being bumped into and led him to a safe area.

Then Song Jinshu saw him taking her from the back door of Fulai Restaurant all the way up to the second floor and standing in the best private room.

Seeing how familiar he was with the place, Song Jinshu suddenly remembered something.

When he gave me the jade pendant, he told me that if I encountered any difficulties, I should go to Fulai Inn for help.

Fulai Restaurant should also be his property!

Lu Ruoyu felt the burning gaze, chuckled helplessly, and then poured her a cup of warm goat milk.

"Today, the owner of the Fulai Restaurant bought a few sheep from a foreign merchant. They say that cooked sheep's milk is good for your health. Would you like to try some?"

When Song Jinshu came to his senses, he noticed that there was a small stove on the table in the box, on which goat milk was warming.

Her eyes lit up, she took a sip of the goat milk, then frowned: "It tastes weird!"

"Well! It does have a sandalwood smell. If you don't like it, then don't drink it." Lu Ruoyu said.

Goat milk is high in nutrients and drinking more is indeed good for the body. Song Jinshu thought carefully about how to eliminate the mutton smell.

"I read a book before that has a method to remove the sandalwood smell. If you believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper to try it."

Lu Ruoyu was a little surprised, then said softly: “You say, I’ll let them try.”

Seeing that Lu Ruoyu indirectly admitted that Fulai Restaurant was his property, Song Jinshu was more willing to offer the method of removing the smell.

"When cooking goat milk, you can ask them to put a few almonds in it. After the milk boils, take out the almonds to remove the sandalwood smell..."

"It's so simple?" Lu Ruoyu thought that she had to mix all kinds of ingredients, but she didn't expect that only a few almonds were needed.

He immediately asked someone to bring up some almonds, and then threw a few almonds into the small pot on the spot.

I lit some charcoal to boil the goat milk, and after a quarter of an hour I fished out the almonds.

He took another bowl and poured himself half a cup, then took a sip, with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

"This method is really effective. The sandalwood smell is much less!"

Song Jinshu smiled and said, "Of course! Change it for me!"

After the smell of goat milk faded, the sweet aroma of milk came to her nose, and she couldn't help but want to drink it.

If she could make some milk tea with this goat milk, she would be so happy that she would go crazy.

She thought about whether she should buy a sheep tomorrow and raise it, then let her third sister study it and make milk tea for herself?

The more Song Jinshu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible!

Lu Ruoyu had already replaced the bowl for her and filled it with goat milk.

Song Jinshu couldn't wait to drink it. It still had a hint of sandalwood flavor, but it didn't stop her from finishing it.

She didn't want it anymore after drinking just one bowl.

Lu Ruoyu thought that she liked goat milk and that it was good for the body, so she thought about bringing a few back to her when she returned to Jingyang County.

While the two were chatting, the stage below the stage had already been lit up. It turned out that the talented students from Songjun Academy were competing in poetry.

There were also several beautiful women who came on stage to perform, which brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Song Jinshu was dazzled by the story. It was brilliant! So brilliant!

This dance has such a strong classical charm, and is danced better than the classical masters of previous lives.

After just a few performances, the reputations of these talented men and women grew.

Looking at the scene below, Song Jinshu was filled with emotion. Isn't this more exciting than a blind date show?

"Jinshu likes dancing or guzheng?"

"Ah? Why do you ask that?" Song Jinshu looked at Lu Ruoyu in confusion.

Lu Ruoyu: It’s hard not to notice your expression.

"Ahem... I see you seem to like it very much..."
