Traveling through time and space

"Old Madam, Princess, several stewards have brought all the silver to the mansion."

"Yuanyuan, grandma keeps her word. Mrs. Liu, you and Mrs. Cai, carry all of this to the princess's private storehouse. This will be her dowry."

"Grandma, Yuanyuan doesn't need it," but seeing the grandmother's expression, "Okay, you guys can send it to this princess's storehouse. Oh, and take out 1,500 first and divide it among the three stewards. Have them distribute it to the hardworking guys. Grandma, tonight Yuanyuan will personally make you some noodles with soybean paste."

"Okay, okay, okay, grandma is waiting. Grandma is tired. You accompany Xiao Ting'er and eat slowly."

"Princess, let me feed her." The old woman who served Ting'er stepped forward.

"No, let her eat by herself, slowly as you like. She has to learn to eat by herself eventually. She has to grow up by herself."

"I would like to thank the princess on behalf of our young lady." Mrs. Xu bowed deeply.

"This princess has a connection with this little girl." Su Yuanyuan used a serving chopstick to pick up food for Xiao Ting'er.

"Sister, let's eat." Ting'er's expression was very clear. Su Yuanyuan was even more puzzled. What happened to the Ge family that made such a good child afraid to speak? She suppressed her curiosity and stopped gossiping. In the following June, July, August and September, she was busy for five consecutive months. By the end of October, Su Yuanyuan was done with her work. The business of Yuezhonglou was really booming. Several young masters were very satisfied with Su Yuanyuan's efforts for several months. Looking at the Yuezhonglou that was full every day, they had already planned to go to the market. Thinking about opening a branch, at Su Yuanyuan's request, he spent 200,000 to buy 10% of the shares of Shizhonglou and Mingzhonglou, which were about to open. Su Yuanyuan himself made a lot of money. A full 270,000 silver notes went into Su Yuanyuan's private treasury. Of course, a lot of things have changed dramatically in the past five months. Let's talk about the Cai family first. After paying off the debt, the Cai family completely split up. I heard that they were full of complaints and even came to the Xiaoyong Hou Mansion, asking my grandmother to go back and make the decision for them. Of course, my grandmother refused. At the end of June, Cai Wenjing found out that she was pregnant. Of course, it was the child of the man who died that day. It was so funny that she had to have an abortion. After two months of pregnancy, she heard that her uncle married her to a lowly man named Zhang Qianfan from the ninth rank of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The wedding was also held secretly. As for that cousin Liu Xiuya, someone imitated her at her birthday ceremony. Her end was that her family shaved her hair and she became a nun in the temple because the scene that day was even more embarrassing and had brought shame to her ancestors. Other messy things can be ignored, but the thing that made Su Yuanyuan happiest was that Ge Ting'er could speak. Although she still stuttered, she was able to speak finally. But her walking was not optimistic. After several months of exercise, she could walk, but her walking posture was very ugly, and she was stumbling. The Ge family now gets along well with the Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion. Because of Ting'er In the past few months, all the big and small banquets in the mansion were invited to Su Yuanyuan and grandmother, but Su Yuanyuan never went because he really didn't have time. He had to go to the shop to teach apprentices every day. Grandmother went twice, which made Ting'er very unhappy. Su Yuanyuan was busy, really busy, busy making money. He would see that man once a month, but Su Yuanyuan still couldn't change his mind and call him father. It was just that the six girls he gave to Gong Yuanyuan were indeed Su Yuanyuan's right-hand men now. Of course, there was also Xu Kun. He now only followed Su Yuanyuan to do things, helping Su Yuanyuan to guard the soon-to-be-successful soy sauce and write and do some things. Su Yuanyuan was also very satisfied with them. Three days later, October 28th was Ting'er's birthday. When she came last time, she said that her sister must go, otherwise she would not see her sister in the future. Su Yuanyuan also agreed. Calculating the time, she should be able to make it, exactly three days in advance. Su Yuanyuan finished all his things, but a new problem arose: what gift should she give? "Come here, all of you, brainstorm and think about what gift this princess should give Miss Ting for her birthday."

"My Lady, Miss Ge likes to eat delicious food, why not give her the meat floss you gave her last time?"

"Dongmei, I think you want to eat it. Last time the princess gave us some, you didn't even want to eat it."

Su Yuanyuan looked at her in confusion, "Princess, I, your servant, am saving it for the elders at home to taste."

"You are a filial son, so I will give you an extra one next time," Su Yuanyuan responded. Su Yuanyuan did not sell these two recipes to the restaurant, but she wanted to teach them to people around her when she has time. If she sold them, she could only sell them exclusively, which would not be so convenient. Then she had another idea. She might as well teach them to the restaurant reluctantly. She was also a shareholder. So it was decided. Next time when Shiyuelou opened, she would teach them for free.

"Princess, how about making a dress for Miss Ting? The snow-scented silk awarded by the palace is worth a fortune."

"Rumei, that was awarded to the princess by the palace." Dongmei stopped her.

"Dongmei, go get that piece of cloth and make this princess a dress. It'll be perfect for when I go. If there's any left, you can make one for Ting'er, too. Go find two embroiderers."

"Princess, don't look for an embroiderer. They are also very good at embroidery," Chunmei pointed at Qiumei and Xiamei.

"You guys are amazing! You know everything," Su Yuanyuan praised sincerely. When they saw the cloth and the needlework that Qiumei and Xiamei brought over, not just Su Yuanyuan, but everyone else dropped their jaws in exaggeration. The snow-scented gauze was a soft pink, thin as a cicada's wing, luxurious yet elegant, and almost imperceptible to the touch.

"Princess, you are so beautiful." These people also stared at her with their eyes wide open. "Princess, when you put on this dress, you will look like the fairy from the storybook." Rumei exclaimed in admiration.

"What are the Nine Heavens Fairies?" Grandmother came into the house.

"Grandma, Yuanyuan wants to use this piece of fabric to make a dress. She needs to wear something decent when she goes to the Ge Mansion in a few days."

"Okay, okay, as a little girl, you should dress brightly. Grandma has already prepared two bracelets as gifts, so don't worry about it."

"Grandma, after Yuanyuan finishes making this piece of material, you can also make a set for Ting'er."

"Well, that's a nice gesture from you, but it's also something you can give away." Grandma touched the snow-scented yarn, "Tsk, tsk, it's so smooth."

"Madam, this is the legendary snow-scented gauze, Princess, can I touch it?" Old Lady Liu, who came with my grandmother, asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, it won't hurt if you touch it," Su Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"This palace produces a lot of good things, Princess. My embroidery skills are quite good. Do you want me to help you with the embroidery?" asked Old Lady Liu.

"Thank you, Mother Liu. Our Qiumei and Xiamei are also good. We all know a little bit and we will be able to finish it within two days," Dongmei said with a smile.

"Some of you guys go to the street and buy some cotton." Looking at the colorful scraps of cloth woven by needle and thread, Su Yuanyuan had a new idea. Wouldn't it be nice to use these scraps of cloth to make a rag doll?

"Princess, I have some cotton. I bought some to make cotton clothes for the old lady. I'll give it to you first, and I'll go buy more."

"Okay, Mama Liu, go get it. When you buy it, buy more. Yuanyuan wants to make something."

"Look, look, you're so busy all day long. It's been a long time since you've been with me, your wife."

"Grandma, Yuanyuan still has you in her heart."

"Naughty, you guys go get busy. Grandma is going to take a break. By the way, Yuanyuan, Shaocun will be leaving for the exam in half a month."

"He's leaving the exam room, so does Brother Congwen have to leave the exam room too?"

"They are together. Grandma is gone." Grandma left the Dream Garden and looked at her grandmother, feeling a little lonely.

"Zhilin, go see if the kitchen has prepared pork belly today. If not, quickly buy some more. I will cook a dish later. It's a good opportunity to try the soy sauce. Yuanyuan has been holding back these past few months and has insisted on not eating secretly. It looks pretty good. Yuanyuan is afraid that she is too confident. All the work has been prepared. Rumei and the others have started to get busy, while Su Yuanyuan and Dongmei have gone to Yixin Garden.

"Princess, everything is fine. I just opened it to let some air in." Xu Kun stepped forward to greet her.

"Did you write it down?" Su Yuanyuan asked.

"Don't worry, my lady, I've taken note of everything.

"Rumei, go to the kitchen and get two clean large bowls and a spoon." Su Yuanyuan sensed Xu Kun's abnormality and went to get Rumei. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Princess, I'm fine."

"Xu Kun, you have been with this princess for half a year. You are not someone who can hide your thoughts. You are a person who shows your emotions on your face."

"Princess, yesterday my former neighbor came to see me and said that Hehua was beaten by her husband's family." Xu Kun, who was originally greeting, actually shed tears. "Hehua is dying. She is such a poor child."

"Asshole, it's such a big deal, why did you only come back to me yesterday? Go back immediately and take your sister to the clinic. Zhilin, you and Zhirong take some money and go with Xu Kun. If they can beat their wife like this, they must be bad people. Bring Xiao Qizi and Xiao Xuzi with you to give Xu Kun courage."

"Thank you, my lady."

"Go quickly and let Old Zhao drive the car." Thinking of the little girl whom he had met once, he felt a little uncomfortable. She seemed to be younger than him.

"Yuanyuan, is this what you make?" Grandma ate two pieces of braised pork, put down her chopsticks and asked,

"Yes, Grandma, this is called soy sauce, and it's made from soybeans."

"Madam, Princess, Young Master Lu is here." While they were having their meal, Mother Wu came in and answered.

"Grand aunt, I have come here uninvited again, just to have a free meal at your house." The voice came before the person arrived. Now, the two brothers of the Lu family call Grand aunt when they enter the house, saying that they are so close.

"Zhixu, you are in for a treat today. Our Yuanyuan has personally made braised pork. Aunt Liu, please bring clean bowls and chopsticks and sit down to eat." Because they came so often, grandmother didn't really treat them as outsiders.

"Thank you, great aunt, Yuanyuan, this is the secret weapon you mentioned."

"Yes, this is the first time I eat it today, let me try it," Su Yuanyuan picked up a piece with the serving chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Mr. Lu.

"Yuanyuan." Grandma scolded.

"Grandma, Yuanyuan treats them all as his elder brothers, but he doesn't have any thoughts. Besides, Yuanyuan wants to test Soy Sauce's reaction, so it's inevitable that he is a little impatient. Grandma, Yuanyuan will pay attention in the future."

"Grandma, we all treat Yuanyuan as our own sister. Don't worry, we will all take good care of her."

"Okay, you must do what you say, otherwise what will happen if my old wife passes away suddenly one day and she is left alone?" Grandma said a little sadly.

"Grandmother, you will live to be one hundred and twenty years old."

"Then he'll become an old witch." The grandfather and grandson were joking, but they didn't notice that all the meat on the plate had been eaten up by Mr. Lu.

"Delicious, delicious," the mainland young master said, looking somewhat unsatisfied. "Any more?"

"There are still some left, I'll share them with them and take a look at the reviews." Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment.

"That's perfect. Pack them all up and make more tomorrow so they can try it." He was very good at talking to himself.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here? You're not just here to eat, are you?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously, and asked Mrs. Liu to go to the kitchen to pack up half of the food for Mr. Lu to take away. She made a lot today.

"I'm sorry, I was too busy eating. This is the contract I wrote for you. After Shizhonglou and Mingzhonglou open, you will be the owner." Young Master Lu took out two pieces of paper and put them on the table.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for taking this trip."

"Mr. Lu, everything is packed." Mrs. Liu brought a large food box.

"Grand aunt, then Zhixu will take his leave." In the evening, Xiao Qizi and Xiao Xuzi came back and said that they had sent the girl named Hehua to the clinic. However, Hehua was in such a miserable state, she was beaten to death. Xu Kun was so angry that she wanted to divorce her husband's family, but the family just chased her to the clinic, threw a divorce letter, and left.

"Do you know what it is?" Dongmei asked curiously.

"They said Hehua seduced some cousin of his and was unfaithful to her husband," said Xiao Xuzi.

"That girl doesn't seem like that kind of person. What does Xu Kun want to do? You two should go to her husband's family and find out why he beat her up like that? And then he just divorced her. How can this girl live her life in the future?"

"Understood, Princess. Let us go and ask around."

"Okay, I'll report back after I find out. We can't let them bully us like this, right?" Su Yuanyuan was still a little indignant.

"Princess, if it really doesn't work, let's go beat him up that night." Rumei said.

"Okay, if we want to fight, let's go together." Su Yuanyuan also wanted to fight, and they were busy with their own things. The six of them were busy with their own things, cutting, and Su Yuanyuan was making her own pillow. She had cloth and cotton. Su Yuanyuan also knew some handicrafts, so it was not difficult for her to sew pillows. The key point was that it was simple. She made two in an afternoon. Su Yuanyuan happily gave them to her grandmother. Her grandmother was very happy. Seeing her grandmother's happy face, Su Yuanyuan suddenly understood that relatives asked for very little, just a little, and her grandmother was very happy. Happy, Su Yuanyuan suddenly also wanted to show filial piety to her so-called father, he was really good to her. After dinner, the two people who went out to inquire about the news also came back, they brought back two pieces of news, one is that the lotus in the clinic has not woken up yet, Zhilin and Zhirong really couldn't bear to leave Xu Kun alone, one is that he is a man and it is not convenient for him to take care of a woman, the second is that they are afraid that Xu Kun will beat up the man in impulse. Xu Kun is a weak scholar, and if he goes to find those people blindly, isn't it courting death? The best news was that Xiao Qizi said they found out why the man beat Hehua. It was because Hehua had not been pregnant for half a year after getting married, and his cousin who had been staying at his house for two months became pregnant. The woman said the child was from Hehua's husband, and her in-laws agreed. The woman came into the house as a co-wife, and was equal to Hehua in age. Hehua had a strong personality and never gave in. It was said that she had been beaten several times, but she had no family to rely on, and no one cared about her. This time she was beaten so badly that a neighbor couldn't bear it anymore, so he secretly came to send a message to Xu Kun.
