winter day.

The biting cold wind was blowing, and the bare branches were swaying constantly.

After delivering the food box, Gancao returned to Yunmengxuan.

As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't help stamping my feet.

"It's really cold today, and it's already winter in just a few days."

Shaoyao was helping Shen Qionghua change her clothes when she heard this and said, "Yes, it's only been ten days since we returned from the palace, and it's already so cold. Since you're going out, you should wear more clothes."

"You don't have to wear so much." A resentful voice sounded faintly in the empty room.

Licorice looked over when he heard the sound and immediately burst out laughing.

Shen Qionghua was wrapped tightly like a dumpling, with only her head exposed. Her round figure made her bright face look even smaller. Shaoyao was still putting clothes on her.

"Good Shaoyao, I'm really not cold. There's no need to wear so much. If Xiyao sees me like this, she will definitely laugh at me." Shen Qionghua begged for mercy.

"How could that be? The princess and the young lady have such a good relationship, she will definitely not laugh at the young lady." Shaoyao said.

Finally, under Shen Qionghua's strict request, she finally took off a few pieces of clothing.

After getting dressed, Shen Qionghua took Shaoyao out, leaving Gancao to look after the house.

The carriage drove away slowly.

Today, Shen Qionghua went to the recently popular restaurant - Shidinglou at the invitation of Luo Xiyao.

Speaking of Shidinglou, it has only become famous in Shangjing in recent months.

Other restaurants are famous for their dishes, but Shidinglou is famous for its pastries. Although it is famous for its pastries, its business is better than other restaurants.

That small plate of pastries was sold for two taels of silver, and this was the cheapest. There were even plates that cost three or four taels, which were no cheaper than the dishes.

These pastries are not only exquisite, but also taste very good. Unlike the pastries steamed in the steamer in the past, the pastries in Shidinglou all have a hint of baked taste.

Because it is rare and delicious, it is very popular. It is said that the female shopkeeper of Shidinglou counts silver every day until her hands are numb.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Shidinglou. Shaoyao lifted the curtain, got off first, then turned around to help Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua got off the carriage and looked up at the rather grand and majestic storefront and the endless stream of diners inside, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

An Jin saw Shen Qionghua and hurried over to greet her, but when he saw the carriage from the Yongning Marquisate, he paused and said, "Miss, do you have a reservation?"

Shen Qionghua nodded, "Princess Pingning reserved the Ya room."

"Princess Pingning hasn't arrived yet, let me take you there first."

An Jin said this and took Shen Qionghua upstairs.

After closing the door, Fuling raised her head, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

"Miss, why are you here?"

"Princess Pingning invited me to a small gathering and to see you by the way." Shen Qionghua said.

"Miss, when will you let me come back to you? An Jin forces me to settle accounts every day and it gives me a headache." Fuling complained.

She was not good at arithmetic to begin with, and being forced to do the math by An Jin all day long was truly a life worse than death.

In her opinion, Shaoyao is the most suitable person to come here, as she is much better at arithmetic than her.

"It's not that exaggerated. I think you've become a lot rounder." Shaoyao teased.

Shaoyao had no bad conscience in saying this. Fuling had indeed gained a lot of weight recently. She had been eating all day and sitting there counting the bills. Although she was happy to see the income, she really couldn't digest it.

But she couldn't give up because An Jin worked harder than her.

An Jin not only has to do the accounting, but also has to manage the people under him, teach newcomers how to use the oven, how to make pastries, greet and see off guests, prepare daily ingredients for the restaurant, etc.

He is so busy all day long that he seems to have three heads and six arms.

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Qionghua said to An Jin. The restaurant's business was still so good after the opening hours, which showed that An Jin had put a lot of thought into it.

"Miss, An Jin is not tired." An Jin shook her head.

If the young lady hadn't saved her, she would probably still be entertaining customers in a brothel. Compared with her previous life, her life now is completely different from the past, and she is very content.

An Jin smiled and handed over the account book, "Miss, take a look, this is this month's account book."

Shen Qionghua took it, flipped through the pages one by one, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Miss, if this trend continues, I'm afraid we will be able to recover our capital and start making profits next month." An Jin said excitedly.

Shen Qionghua was also very happy. Originally, it would take some time to recover the capital, but she did not expect that thanks to An Jin's efforts, the time was shortened by several months.

"You've done a great job. The New Year is coming soon. I will definitely give you a big red envelope at the end of the year." Shen Qionghua said.

"Thank you, Miss." The owner of Shidinglou, who clearly made a thousand taels of silver every day, narrowed his eyes into slits with satisfaction at the sight of a red envelope of promise.

Shen Qionghua had calculated the time, wanting to meet An Jin before meeting Luo Xiyao. Seeing that the time was almost up, she took Shaoyao to the Yazi private room reserved by Luo Xiyao.

As soon as I entered, I saw a strange young man in blue clothes, with handsome features and gentle temperament, sitting at the table drinking tea.

Shen Qionghua raised her sleeve to wipe her eyes. Seeing that it was indeed true, she thought she had taken the wrong path. Just as she was about to apologize and leave, she saw a lake blue figure rushing towards her like a gust of wind.

Shen Qionghua looked carefully and wondered who else could it be but Luo Xiyao?

There was a figure following behind her. Fu Chen was standing beside her, looking at her with a helpless and doting expression.

"Xiyao, what are you doing..." Shen Qionghua hesitated.

Why did Luo Xiyao bring a strange man with her?

Hearing this, Luo Xiyao chuckled, blinked her eyes, and whispered in a tone that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. I'll explain it to you later."

As she spoke, she pulled Shen Qionghua towards the table and pressed her down on the stool.

Then he sat down with Fu Chen, with four people sitting in four different seats.
