My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

However, before she could say anything, the sharp-eyed guy inside invited the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's surname is Zeng, and he is somewhat wealthy.

But at first glance, he looks like a smiling person, so he is the most suitable person to do this kind of business.

As soon as he saw Du Jingyi, he immediately came forward and bowed.

I have met the young lady.

His attitude was respectful and his words were clear, and then he cast his gaze on Shang Ji.

Before Du Jingyi opened his mouth, shopkeeper Zeng bowed and said.

I've met the general.

This time, Luo Yuan felt a little strange.

They have never shown up here before, so how could the shopkeeper know them?

Shopkeeper Zeng was so venomous that he immediately saw his confusion and immediately explained with a smile.

When the general returned to the city in triumph, I also went to join in the fun. Although you were not wearing armor, I remember your face and temperament clearly.

That day, there were many people rushing to join in the fun to welcome them, but today, no one recognized them along the way.

It can be seen from this that this shopkeeper Zeng has extraordinary eyesight and a flexible mind.

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with the performance of the shopkeeper. It's no wonder that the restaurant was very prosperous under his hands.

The annual dividend alone is hundreds of thousands taels.

But this is just a restaurant where Du Jingyi holds a dowry.

Therefore, Shang Ji really knew nothing about the wealth and honor possessed by this seemingly harmless lady in front of him.

Shopkeeper Zeng personally welcomed them to a private room on the third floor that was closed to the public. The scenery here was unique and there were compartments for resting.

Standing in front of the window and looking far away, you can even see half of Sui'an City.

Houses scattered high and low, bustling with people.

After sitting down, shopkeeper Zeng asked.

Young Madam, is it still the same arrangement as before?

Well, let the chef cook a few more dishes and increase the portions.

yes.

Shopkeeper Zeng half-bent down and walked out the door, not forgetting to close the door when he left.

Inside the room, even the tea had just been delivered, and it was piping hot just right.

They walked around for a long time and felt a little tired.

Therefore, Yingtao wanted to step forward to loosen her muscles and bones, but due to the general's presence, she could only stand still.

It was Shang Ji who spoke first.

The Du family's property?

Well, my father later decided to give it to me as a dowry.

Luo Yuan's eyes glowed slightly when he heard this.

He followed the general but never entered the Drunken Immortal Tower once.

Now, thanks to the young lady, not only can I come in, but I can also go directly to the private room, and I immediately feel a sense of satisfaction like a chicken or a dog ascending to heaven.

As soon as this look was revealed, Cherry glared back.

Luo Yuan was really unhappy in his heart. The stinky girl knew how to go against him!

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw someone knocking on the door outside.

Then people filed in and brought the dishes.

I made two servings of the same dish, but I didn't leave out Yingying and the others.

Shang Ji looked at the dishes on the table. There were flavors from all over the world.

Whether it's Jinling cuisine or Cezhou cuisine, which he prefers, they are all among them. A few dishes are also common, which Du Jingyi likes to eat.

I have to say that although this dish is the same dish, it does taste different when made by different chefs.

Shang Ji tasted it carefully this time, and then gave a comment.

This smell, no wonder the nobles in Sui'an City flock to it.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was also happy, with a bit of pride visible to the naked eye.

You must know that when she set the price of the restaurant extremely high, her parents did not agree very much. It was not until they found out that she found a new way to only do business for nobles that it became more and more prosperous.

Now except for this private room, everything else has been rented out for a long time.

Either they are from the prince's palace or the Duke's palace. They don't have any skills at all, and they can't make a long-term contract.

Therefore, the elegant rooms here once became a symbol of status.

Naturally, the chefs raised here and the ingredients used will be the best.

While the two were eating, Shang Ji glanced sideways and saw a carriage parked downstairs.

The carriage was luxurious and luxurious, and it looked like it was for the exclusive use of the royal palace.

There is also the word Min hanging high on it, which is naturally used by the Min Palace.

It took no effort at all. Look, who's here?

Shang Ji's words made Du Jingyi look down.

She didn't know the person, but the handwriting was clear.

People from Prince Min's Palace?

Um.

Who is it? Looking at her age, she doesn't look like a princess, nor does she look like a royal concubine.

She is the concubine's wife of King Min. On the third day of her visit, people outside call her Mrs. Qi.

Du Jingyi looked understanding.

Since she married into the Duke's palace, she rarely goes out and rarely participates in banquets. Naturally, she doesn't know these famous family members.

But when it fell into Shang Ji's ears, he felt it was inappropriate.

In the future, she will also be the head of the family. How can she get along with these ladies and ladies if she doesn't know them?

So he thought about it and spoke.

In twenty days, it will be my father's birthday. At that time, Mrs. Wei will definitely invite ladies from various houses to come into the house. Just go and acknowledge her. Aunt Dou has been with her mother for many years and she knows all about it. , it’s good for you to remember the familiar face.”

Du Jingyi nodded, she also felt that this move was necessary.

Otherwise, if everyone is standing in front of you and you still don’t recognize anyone, that would be called making a fool of yourself.

As he said this, Mrs. Qi entered the door of Zuixian Tower.

Prince Min's Mansion also had private rooms in Zuixian Tower. She knew about it, and the clerk naturally knew about it too, so he led her up to the third floor.

But there was no one around her except a maid and a woman dressed as a woman.

Is it really that simple to just come here for a meal and a cup of tea?

Du Jingyi and Shang Ji looked at each other, both looking like they were determined to hear the secret.

So Shang Ji glanced at Luo Yuan, and he immediately stood up sensibly, walked outside, and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, Cherry felt a little bit better about him.

Apart from anything else, this ability seems to be quite strong.

Time passed by little by little, and the melon that shopkeeper Zeng had sent specially was eaten to a great extent.

Not to mention Yingying and others, even Du Jingyi was a little anxious.

She didn't know what Luo Yuan was capable of, and she thought she might have been captured by mistake.

But Shang Ji was drinking tea calmly, without any worries at all.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi calmed down a little.

Sure enough, Na Luo Yuan rushed in from outside after a while.

If they hadn't been staring at the door intently, they probably wouldn't have noticed his movement.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi admired Luo Yuan's ability, or rather his husband Shang Ji's ability.

But then I thought about it, it was right.

If you don't have any real skills, how can you regain the thirteen cities over there?
