Ouyang Wu took advantage of the Li Gong incident to slack off for a few days, and Manji has not been open. People outside have complaints about Li Gong. Ouyang Wu thought, there should be no blind people bumping into it in the future, right?
In Dadu, everyone who has tasted mooncakes is looking forward to tasting them again, and those who have not tasted them are drooling after hearing such reputation.
It's just that Manji is closed, and they can't satisfy their appetites, so they are more and more angry with the third son of the Li family. If it weren't for him making trouble, how could Manji be closed? If Manji is no longer open, you will never find such a taste in the whole Xiling.
Wang Ruoxi was the first to visit Ouyang Wu after hearing about her leg injury. Seeing that Ouyang Wu's leg was not seriously injured, she was relieved and talked about some things in the store in detail. She said happily: "The pastry chef can make the taste you want according to your method, and the store is well managed inside and outside." Ouyang Wu listened to Wang Ruoxi's quiet words with a smile on her lips. After Wang Ruoxi finished speaking, she smiled and said: "This is the best. In the future, all the pastries will be made by these pastry chefs. We just need to tell them the production method. By the way, I think Cuiying is very capable. I will promote her to be a manager in the future and slowly hand over the store's affairs to her." Cuiying was the yellow-shirted woman who stood up when Li Gong made trouble that day. She knew how to read and count, was bold and careful in handling things, and could control people. Ouyang Wu felt that she was a useful person. Wang Ruoxi was stunned when she heard that. Someone else took her place. She hesitated and said, "Then... what should I do?"
Ouyang Wu smiled lightly, her eyes were dark and bright, and she smiled sincerely. Ruoxi was the young lady of Murong Mansion. It was inappropriate to let her make cakes and manage things. She was afraid that she would feel embarrassed and to make her familiar with the process of the store. She was asked to do something, but it would not last long. Thinking about it, she said, "Ruoxi and Wu'er will naturally control the whole big things of Man Kee together. Besides, Ruoxi, you are proficient in depicting flowers, and the cakes you designed are very pleasing to the eye."
Wang Ruoxi seemed to understand, so Ouyang Wu explained to her in detail about the share division. The two of them each held shares in Man Kee. Ouyang Wu invested more money, so naturally she had more shares. Ruoxi mainly gave some ideas and helped with management, so she had fewer shares.
Wang Ruoxi looked at Ouyang Wu gratefully after understanding what she said. She knew that Ouyang Wu was helping her. As the young lady of the Murong family, she should not show up too often. She could do some work behind the scenes.
"But the dividends are not so easy to get. At present, Honeymoon is still in the early stage of opening. If Ruoxi has time, she needs to help more."
"Of course." Wang Ruoxi smiled and covered her lips. The two laughed for a while. Wang Ruoxi remembered her original intention and asked, "Many people have been waiting outside the door every day during the days when Honeymoon was closed. Can we reopen?"
Ouyang Wu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival has passed. We can't just sell mooncakes anymore. We will launch two new desserts next. I will be free tomorrow. I will give the recipe to the pastry chef and prepare the ingredients. Then we will reopen."
"That's the best." Wang Ruoxi nodded, feeling happy.
After three or five days, everything was settled and Honeymoon opened again.
After Honeymoon reopened, the popularity remained the same. They lined up at the door early when they heard the news. They were refreshed by the sweet smell.
I was a little disappointed to know that Honeymoon no longer sold mooncakes, but I started to look forward to it when I heard that there were new desserts.
Honeymoon's desserts were still sold as usual. After a while, the desserts in the store were sold out. Those who bought them hurriedly sent them back to ask for credit, while those who didn't buy them went back dejectedly, hoping that they could get a little earlier tomorrow.
The rich and powerful who ate Honeymoon desserts that day were very satisfied with this new food, but there were too few of them. After eating, they became more and more eager. Overnight, Honeymoon's Black Forest Cake and Chocolate Cookies became the most popular food in Beijing.
The next day, more and more people lined up at the door of Honeymoon.
The most fanatical person about Man Kee is the fifth princess Ye Yao. Ever since Ouyang Wu made her the Black Forest Cake, she has been obsessed with it. She thinks about it all day long. In the past few days, she has sent her personal maid to queue up every day. However, Man Kee's business is so good that even if she buys it, it is only a small portion, and she can't eat enough.
Besides the Black Forest Cake, the chocolate cookies are also what she longs for.
The more Ye Yao thinks about it, the more greedy she becomes. She wants to eat more. With a turn of her eyes, she can't help but set her sights on Ouyang Wu. Ever since the Queen Mother gave the tourmaline to Ouyang Wu, she would find various excuses to summon Ouyang Wu to the palace from time to time, such as chest tightness or insomnia. Ouyang Wu always came in time, and after checking her pulse, she would bring some snacks made by herself.
The Queen Mother was very happy, and her eyes became more kind when she looked at her.
On this day, Ouyang Wu went to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager as usual. Ye Yao was also there, staring at Ouyang Wu with a pair of lively eyes. Before Ouyang Wu paid respects to the Empress Dowager, Ye Yao pounced on Ouyang Wu and pulled her sleeves and twisted her around. Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Yao's cute puffy face and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Yao'er, what are you going to do?"
Ye Yao raised a charming smile, her eyes curved: "Sister-in-law Wu'er, how do you think our relationship is?"
Ouyang Wu deliberately frowned, with a defensive look on her face, and said: "It's okay, what do you want to do?"
Ye Yao refused, saying: "What do you mean it's okay? In Wu'er's heart, Sister-in-law Wu'er is Yao'er's favorite person! Sister-in-law Wu'er is a good person, and the cakes she makes are delicious. It's just that you Manji just can't satisfy my wishes, and I can never buy them!"
Ouyang Wu sighed, she saw the princess's personal maid carrying sweets back every day.
Ye Yao was embarrassed by Ouyang Wu's puzzled look, and could only say: "I bought very little, and I can't eat enough!"
Ouyang Wu looked at the sudden realization, and then seemed helpless, indicating that she could not help.
Ye Yao saw this and pulled Ouyang Wu's sleeve again, saying, "Sister-in-law Wu'er, please be kind. We have such a good relationship. Sister-in-law should give Yao'er some preferential treatment, right?" Ouyang Wu just smiled and didn't respond. Ye Yao pulled her sleeve and looked at her pitifully. There were almost tears in her clear eyes! Ouyang Wu pulled her sleeve and said, "Okay." Seeing that Ouyang Wu was a little relaxed, Ye Yao stood up obediently and looked at Ouyang Wu eagerly. Ouyang Wu smiled lightly and reached out to take out a golden thin piece from her bosom. It was finely carved with delicate patterns and two big characters "Manji" were carved in relief. Not to mention other things, just looking at this thing made her feel precious. Ye Yao saw Ouyang Wu handing the thin piece to her, and couldn't help but show doubts. It can't be eaten, what is it for? Ouyang Wu smiled and explained: "This is our VIP card of Honeymoon. As long as you hold this card, you can enter the VIP channel. In the future, when you come to Honeymoon to buy desserts, as long as you show this card, you can not only skip the queue, but also there will be no quantity limit. You can buy as much as you want. But..."
When Ye Yao heard that she could not queue up and could buy as much as she wanted, she snatched the thin slice from Ouyang Wu's hand as if she had obtained a treasure, fearing that Ouyang Wu would change her mind if she was late. She was holding it in her hand and carefully looking at it. When she heard that Ouyang Wu had something else to say, she looked at Ouyang Wu worriedly.
Ouyang Wu cleared her throat and continued: "However, this VIP card is so useful, it naturally has a price. It costs a lot of money every year. What do you think? Yaoer still wants it?"
Huh, Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just money. I thought there were other conditions!
"Of course I want it!" Ye Yao narrowed his eyes happily, looked at the VIP card in his hand carefully, and looked up and said, "Is there any other use for this card?"
"After having this card, if new desserts are launched in the future, you can try them for free." Ouyang Wu carefully listed them one by one.
"Ah!" Ye Yao's eyes lit up instantly, and the desserts seemed to be filled in front of him."Several nearby stores have also been acquired and are still under renovation. When the time comes, there will be a chance to eat in the store and participate in the production!" Ouyang Wu continued.
"Ah! That's great!" Ye Yao's joy was visible on his face. He grabbed the card in his hand hard, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away. At the end, he didn't forget to ask, "Don't everyone have it?"
"If we weren't so close, I wouldn't give it to you." Ouyang Wu raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows.
"Cough, cough." Ouyang Wu was still talking happily with Ye Yao, and he could hear a cough. Ouyang Wu then remembered that this was the Empress Dowager's Fanghua Palace. They were both so happy that they ignored the Empress Dowager!
When both of them realized this, Ouyang Wu looked up and saw that the Empress Dowager was glaring at her with some displeasure and snorted coldly. Ouyang Wu stood up straight and bowed respectfully: "Grandmother." "What are you talking about?" The Empress Dowager heard the conversation between the two word for word, and she asked casually. Her eyes were fixed on the golden piece in Ye Yao's hand, and the two words written on it made her heart flutter.
"This is the VIP card that Sister Wu gave me. In the future, I can..." Ye Yao said excitedly. "Show it to me." When Ye Yao was talking excitedly, the Queen Mother had walked up to her, took the thin slice from her hand, rubbed it carefully in her hand, and said, "This is very delicately made."
The Queen Mother took the thin slice in her hand, turned it over and over and looked at it carefully, as if she could see a flower on it, but she didn't have the slightest intention of returning it to Ye Yao.
Ye Yao looked at the thin slice and secretly regretted that he shouldn't ask Wu'er's sister-in-law for it from the Empress Dowager. In a hurry, he wanted to speak, but the Empress Dowager seemed to have finally studied it thoroughly. She looked at Ouyang Wu with the thin slice and asked seriously: "Wu'er, besides pearl milk tea and pudding milk tea, are there other flavors?"
Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Yao's anxious look and the Empress Dowager's serious look, and laughed in her heart, but also answered seriously: "There is a red bean milk tea recently, would you like to try it?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the thin slice in her hand again and asked hesitantly: "With this card, can I buy two cups a day?"
Ouyang Wu looked at the old lady's serious face, and finally couldn't help it, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
The Empress Dowager showed a satisfied look on her face, and held the card in her hand more tightly.
Ye Yao looked at Ouyang Wu for help with a tearful face. Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Yao's face and couldn't help laughing. She reached out and took out another identical VIP card from her bosom and handed it to her: "I only made three recently, and the other one was given to King Anyang. I'll give this one to you."
Ye Yao was so happy that she almost jumped up. She took the VIP card and immediately put it in her bosom. She rushed up and hugged Ouyang Wu, shouting: "Sister-in-law Wu'er, you are the best!"
Ouyang Wu was almost knocked down by Ye Yao, and her face was also smiling. The Queen Mother looked at the two of them, then looked at the card in her hand, her face was full of satisfaction. After Man Kee reopened, business was very prosperous. Although Wang Ruoxi didn't have to do anything, she couldn't sit still. She always felt that she had to do something to be worthy of the dividends given to her by Ouyang Wu. She often studied some tricks with Murong Xiang in the store. If she felt sleepy at night, she would stay in the courtyard behind Manji, which was also one of Ye Chonghua's properties.
Murong Yunshu wandered outside the door for a few days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He decided to have a good talk with Wang Ruoxi. But Wang Ruoxi didn't look at him well at all. No, she simply treated him as a transparent person and refused to even give him a glance.
Murong Yunshu felt very uncomfortable. He stood aside and looked at her pretty face and fair skin carefully. The guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger. He had let her down for many years. She had lived so hard these years, taking care of Xiang'er so much, and teaching him so well. What did he do? Even if he made up for it for a lifetime, it would not be enough.
"Ruoxi, I'm sorry..." He whispered softly, but Wang Ruoxi turned to Cuiying and said, "Prince Anyang is here, you go and entertain him, he is our VIP member."
"Yes!"
Murong Yunshu opened his mouth several times but was ignored by Wang Ruoxi, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart. At this time, Xiaonuo came out from the inner room with half a chocolate cookie in his hand. He saw Murong Yunshu called out obediently, "Daddy."
"Xiang'er." Murong Yunshu saw that Murong Xiang's complexion had improved over the past few days, and he looked particularly energetic, with the agility and liveliness of a child, and he was a little happy in his heart. He half-knelt on the ground and held him in his arms, with guilt in his eyes, and more of missing. He touched Murong Xiang's little face and called him again, "Xiang'er."
Murong Xiang's face was slightly red, and his daddy had never been so intimate.
Murong Yunshu took his hand back and said, "Well, Xiang'er, how are you these days?"
Murong Xiang nodded vigorously. There are all kinds of delicious food in the store, Xiao Nuo can often come to play with him, and his mother's face is not always sad. They are indeed living well.
Murong Yunshu felt even more bitter in his heart, and gently stroked his head: "Then, does Xiang'er miss daddy?"
Murong Xiang tilted his head and thought about it. He didn't have much time to think about his father, but if he said that, his father would be sad. Thinking of this, Murong Xiang said softly: "Well, I do."
Murong Yunshu's heart was full of mixed feelings, and his voice was a little trembling. He continued: "Then Xiang'er, talk to mother, go home with daddy, okay?"
Go home? If you go home, you can't eat these delicious snacks, but does mother want to go back too? It seems that since living here, there are more smiles on mother's face?
Murong Xiang turned his little head hard, trying to come up with an answer.
Seeing Murong Xiang's tangled face, Murong Yunshu continued to coax him, "Grandpa and grandma at home miss Xiang'er very much, do you miss them?"
This time Murong Xiang did not hesitate. His grandparents were very kind to him, so how could he not miss them?
"Did the grandparents ask Daddy to pick us up?" Murong Xiang asked expectantly.
Murong Yunshu choked when he heard this. Although his parents did miss their daughter-in-law and grandson all the time, he wanted to take them home even more.
Murong Yunshu's voice became gentler: "Grandfather, grandmother, and... Daddy, we all miss Xiang'er and your mother very much. Can you go home with Daddy?"
Murong Xiang's face was wrinkled like a bun. On one side was the delicious food, and on the other side were Daddy and grandparents. It was so difficult to choose.
"Then, after Xiang'er goes back, can he still eat these delicious foods?" Murong Xiang finally decided to ask clearly.
Murong Yunshu would not miss this opportunity. When he saw Murong Xiang relax, he immediately said, "Of course, Xiang'er, as much as you want to eat, Daddy will buy you as much!"
After all, he was a child. When Murong Xiang heard Murong Yunshu say this, his little face relaxed and put on a smile. He said timidly, "Then Xiang'er, go talk to mom, and we will go home together."
Murong Yunshu nodded vigorously, and watched Murong Xiang swaying his little body and walking inside, and then he stood at the door waiting eagerly.
Wang Ruoxi was designing the appearance of the snack carefully when she heard a soft voice from beside her: "Mom."
Looking down, she saw Murong Xiang standing beside her, looking up at her. She couldn't help but smile gently and said, "Xiang'er, what's wrong? Has Xiao Nuo not come yet?"
Murong Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Nuo hasn't come yet, but Xiang'er has seen Daddy."
Wang Ruoxi's face suddenly turned cold, and she heard Murong Xiang continue: "Dad said he would take us home and said that grandparents miss us very much."
Hearing Murong Xiang's soft voice, Wang Ruoxi's heart softened, and she looked at Murong Xiang and said, "Xiang'er, do you want to go back?"
Murong Xiang lowered his head and said only one sentence: "Xiang'er wants to be with mother."
Wang Ruoxi's eyes were hot, she patted Murong Xiang and got up and went out.
Murong Xiang lowered his head and finished what he had just said: "Xiang'er wants to be with mother, and also wants to be with father, and wants us to be with grandparents together."
But Wang Ruoxi did not hear what Murong Xiang said.
Murong Yunshu waited in front of the store for a long time, but Murong Xiang did not come out. He was a little anxious and wandered at the door. In a blink of an eye, he saw Wang Ruoxi lift the curtain and come out.
Murong Yunshu's face was happy, but he turned cold when he saw Wang Ruoxi's cold expression.
Wang Ruoxi looked at the man in front of her who made her love and hate him throughout her youth. He was still as elegant and calm as before, but his face looked very haggard. She told herself not to waste her feelings on someone who was not worthy.
Murong Yunshu looked at Wang Ruoxi walking slowly towards him, and couldn't help but whispered: "Ruoxi..."
"Do you want to take Xiang'er back?" Wang Ruoxi said as soon as she opened her mouth.
Murong Yunshu nodded, and immediately said: "I want to take you back. You haven't been home for a long time, and I'm always alone..." "Xiang'er still needs Wu'er's treatment. It's good to live here. Besides, the store is very busy and needs my care." After saying that, she turned and walked in, no longer paying attention to Murong Yunshu. Murong Yunshu looked at her cold back, with a bitter look. Was she unwilling to pay attention to him again, and unwilling to go home with him? He just checked Xiang'er's pulse. Now the pulse is strong and powerful, and he just needs to take care of it slowly. Is the store busy? Then can he go home if it's not busy? Murong Yunshu's eyes regained hope. Wang Ruoxi thought that Murong Yunshu would not be able to stand her coldness and would not harass her again, but she didn't expect to see Murong standing in front of the door as soon as she opened the door the next day. As soon as Murong Yunshu saw Wang Ruoxi, he came forward and said, "Ruoxi, I'll help you. Leave anything to me."
Wang Ruoxi's face turned cold, she said "No need", and turned to walk inside.
Murong Yunshu did not give up. With a nervous smile on his face, he followed Wang Ruoxi all the time, rushing to help. When Wang Ruoxi wanted to take the cake out of the oven, Murong stepped forward and took it out first. Of course, he was burned because he didn't wear gloves.
Wang Ruoxi looked at his reckless appearance and didn't say anything.
Wang Ruoxi finally had some free time and wanted to pour herself a cup of tea. Murong Yunshu took the lead to put the cup in place, poured the tea and handed it to Ruoxi.
Wang Ruoxi wanted to take paper to draw a pattern, so Murong spread the paper and carefully ground the ink on the side.
Wang Ruoxi looked at Murong Yunshu coldly. She had hoped so much to be able to live in harmony with him. She had been looking forward to it for so many years. It was not until she had completely given up that he did what she had hoped for. Was this fate?
Wang Ruoxi had a headache. Murong Yunshu was around her all day. Wang Ruoxi wanted to get angry several times, but she endured it and just gave him a cold face, thinking that he couldn't go on like this.
Unexpectedly, he came on the second and third days. After all, he was Wang Ruoxi's husband. Even if Wang Ruoxi ordered not to let him in, everyone still didn't dare to embarrass him.
Murong Yunshu had a flattering smile on his face, and it was so bright that she seemed to have not seen him smile for many years. She was a little dazed for a moment: "Ruoxi, is there anything else I can help you with today?"
Wang Ruoxi didn't even want to answer, she turned around and walked towards the room, Murong followed closely behind her. When she arrived at the door of the room, Ruoxi slammed the door shut as soon as she entered the room. Murong was turned away and stood in front of the door with a gloomy face.
Murong Xiang just got up to look for Wang Ruoxi, and saw Murong Yunshu standing in front of the door, so he called out: "Daddy."
Murong seemed to see a savior, half-crouched in front of Murong Xiang, and pointed at the door.
Murong Xiang shouted at the door, "Mother, it's Xiang'er." The door creaked open, and Wang Ruoxi pulled Murong Xiang over. Murong Yunshu took the opportunity to ask, "Ruoxi, do you really not need help?" Just after asking, the door slammed shut in front of her. Wang Ruoxi was a little upset by Murong Yunshu. If Murong Yunshu was the same as before, she would be easy to deal with, but now he has changed his temper. She has always been a cold person and didn't know how to refuse him. Wang Ruoxi took Murong Xiang in the house until noon before coming out, thinking that Murong Yunshu must have gone back. But when she passed the pastry room, she saw Murong rolling up his sleeves and discussing something with the pastry chef. He was holding a small piece of dough in his hand. On the plate beside him were some finished pastry models, big and small. Maybe the pastries were a little small, and there was only one word written on them, Xi, Xiang. Ruoxi, Xiang'er. Wang Ruoxi looked at these words, feeling a little bitter. When she was young, she liked him and always wrote his name on the ground with a stone. He didn't care at that time. Later, she married him, had a quarrel, and had a disagreement. She also wrote his name on paper again and again, Yunshu, Yunshu, she waited for him to come back, but she couldn't wait for him to come back. Sometimes she waited for him for a whole night. She suddenly felt that she had been compromising for so many years just because she loved him, so she gave without regrets. Wang Ruoxi looked at him blankly, and Murong Yunshu suddenly turned around with a bit of joy on his face: "Ruoxi, do you need help?" Wang Ruoxi shook her head. Murong Yunshu no longer mentioned taking her back. He stayed in the store every day. He helped Ruoxi do whatever she wanted, and even stayed here at night. He was a big man, but he just put a few stools together to deal with it casually. Murong Xiang looked distressed and shook Wang Ruoxi's hand: "Mother, are you going to ignore Dad?"
Wang Ruoxi patted her head: "Let's go to bed."
Wang Ruoxi gradually got used to Murong Yunshu being by her side. She treated him as a transparent person. No matter what he said to her, she ignored him. Sometimes when she was annoyed, she would hide from him.
Her heart gradually calmed down. She was no longer as upset as before. She didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Murong now. She was a little confused for a while and wanted to practice calligraphy in the room.
Wang Ruoxi just picked up the pen and saw several pieces of paper on the table. The content of each piece of paper was the same, and they were all crookedly written: "Mother, Dad, Xiang'er, together."
This was Murong Xiang's handwriting, childish, but simple.
Wang Ruoxi couldn't help but pick up the paper and put it in her hand. She felt mixed emotions and looked at the words on the paper thoughtfully.
The next day, Murong came to Manji early as usual. When he learned that Wang Ruoxi was drawing patterns, he went forward to grind ink for her. He was used to Ruoxi ignoring him, but he didn't expect that today, as soon as he picked up the ink, he heard Ruoxi say, "No need, it's already been drawn."
Murong looked up at Ruoxi blankly. For so many days, she still didn't want to give him a chance? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, with a very bitter expression on his face.
Wang Ruoxi seemed not to see his expression and continued, "If you really want to help, help me when you return to the mansion."
Murong looked up suddenly, his face full of disbelief. What did Ruoxi say just now? Did she say return to the mansion? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask: "Go back to the mansion?"
Wang Ruoxi's expression turned cold, and she said: "What? You didn't want to take us back to the mansion? I was overthinking it."
"No, no, it's good to go back to the mansion, it's good to go back to the mansion, it's good to go back to the mansion, we'll go back now!" Murong Yunshu came back to his senses and was excited and incoherent.
Murong Yunshu was just happily turning around in the house, not knowing what to do. Murong Xiang came in at this time. When he saw Murong Yunshu turning around like a headless fly, he called out in confusion: "Daddy?"
Murong Yunshu was very happy at this moment. He went forward and hugged Murong Xiang, and just turned around happily, saying: "Xiang'er, we are home! Home!"
Wang Ruoxi looked at the father and son laughing happily in the house, and then looked at the shy smile on Murong Xiang's face, and her heart was slightly relieved, hoping that she had done nothing wrong.
The gifts to Ruoxi and her son were few, so they simply packed up and returned to Murong Mansion, of course, not forgetting to bring back some sweets from the store.
When Murong Yunshu's parents saw Ruoxi and her son return to the mansion, they just kept saying good things, without any intention of blaming Ruoxi. They knew what their son had done before, and their persuasion for so many years had no effect. Now that Ruoxi was willing to come back, it was the best.
Ruoxi looked at her loving parents-in-law, and her heart warmed up.
Then she distributed some of the desserts brought from the store to her parents-in-law, and then distributed some to the brothers and sisters of the side branches one by one.
Not long after Wang Ruoxi delivered these snacks, Murong Yunshu's second sister-in-law Jinxuan came over, held her hand tightly, and laughed coquettishly. Jinxuan was always self-righteous. Because she had a profitable shop when she was married, she didn't take others seriously. She always looked superior and looked at people with a slanted look.
Ruoxi has always disliked this sister-in-law, but her face was warm.
Jin Xuan held Ruoxi's hand and said that she missed her sister-in-law after not seeing her for a long time, and then said: "After all, you are a woman. If people know that you live outside with your son, they will gossip."
Wang Ruoxi looked indifferent and just smiled: "What the sister-in-law said is right."
Jin Xuan saw Wang Ruoxi's expression and said: "Sister-in-law, you really don't need to spend so much money. You also brought us snacks. This is really..."
Wang Ruoxi smiled like a spring breeze: "It doesn't matter. We are all family. What's the point of spending money?"
Jin Xuan sighed and said: "Sister-in-law's family is already so tight, so don't pretend to be rich. We appreciate your kindness."
Tight? It was true before, but after Wu'er's Manji started, it can't be called tight at all. Although the income from mooncakes was donated to disaster relief in the south, the income from desserts in recent times is not small, and I believe there will be a generous dividend at the end of the month.
Thinking this in her heart, Ruoxi did not show her expression, but just smiled implicitly.
Sure enough, seeing that Ruoxi did not say anything, Jin Xuan thought that she acquiesced, and the smile on her face became more and more proud: "Hey, I'm not bragging, my jewelry store has made a lot of money recently. It's only been a few days, and it's made a lot of money!"
Jin Xuan carefully counted how her shop made money, who came to buy, and how much she could sell every day. She said it in great detail, just afraid that Ruoxi would not believe it.
Ruoxi kept smiling and nodding, indicating that she was sure.
After Jin Xuan finished showing off, she felt very satisfied when she saw Ruoxi's look. She seemed to remember something and continued, "However, if we talk about the most profitable business, it must be the pastry shop opened by Princess Ning."
Ruoxi raised her eyes, and she could clearly see the resentment and jealousy on her face.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, that pastry shop, it's not an exaggeration to say that it makes a fortune every day! Every day, those officials and their families line up in such a long line in front of the store. I heard that the pastries in the store are extremely expensive. I don't know why so many people rush to buy them! It is said that the empress dowager and the princesses love those pastries so much that they send people to buy them every day!"
Jin Xuan became more and more excited as she spoke: "Why can she, a pastry seller, make more money than me? What's so delicious about these pastries?"
She pulled her handkerchief hard, with a strong envy and jealousy on her face!
Ruoxi lowered her lips, but she was so amused in her heart. This sister-in-law didn't know that she also held some shares in Honeymoon. If she knew, she would be jealous. Although she thought so in her heart, she remained calm on the surface, expressing her surprise and envy in a proper way. Seeing that she had said almost everything, the second sister-in-law thanked Ruoxi again and left with satisfaction.
Ruoxi looked at the back of the second sister-in-law thoughtfully. She was really able to be like this now thanks to Wu'er.
Recently, Ouyang Wu has been very busy. After Honeymoon reopened, the business was booming every day. Ouyang Wu also needed to keep adding new desserts. When she had time, she tried to make desserts in Honeymoon's store.
Ye Chonghua couldn't find Ouyang Wu, so he went to the store again. He took Ouyang Wu out of the kitchen with obvious displeasure on his face: "Wu'er, don't you think you are too much?"
"What?" Ouyang Wu just wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
Ye Chonghua narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, and there was a faint flash of anger in his dark and arrogant eyes. He nodded slightly, and the line of his chin was as arrogant and cold as an aristocrat: "Princess Ning doesn't stay in the Ning Palace properly, but stays here all day. What's this like? Now it's hard for even the king to see you."
Ouyang Wu immediately replied: "No, don't we meet every night?"
Ye Chonghua looked at the little woman in front of him, wishing he could pinch her to death. Every day she went home late, and before she could say a few words to him, she turned her head and fell asleep. Does this count as a meeting?
Ouyang Wu saw that Ye Chonghua looked depressed, so she put on a flattering smile: "Can I cook for you?"
Ye Chonghua sat down casually beside him, even more unhappy: "I don't like sweet food."
"Then I'll make something else for you." Ouyang Wu thought that she had been spending more time with the Empress Dowager recently, and her free time was spent in the store. She seemed to have neglected Ye Chonghua, and she felt guilty. She personally poured a cup of Longjing tea and handed it to him, "Wait a minute."
Ouyang Wu quickly made a pizza, with a very thin base and a thick layer of ingredients and sauce on it. All the ingredients were fresh. Ouyang Wu brought the pizza to Ye Chonghua and said with a smile: "This is my first time making it. No one else has tasted it. Would you like to try it?"
Ye Chonghua raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to taste it for you?"
Ouyang Wu nodded, but Ye Chonghua sat there without moving, looking at her expectantly.
Ouyang Wu was stunned for a long time, but saw Ye Zhonghua's face turned cold, and he said slowly: "You want me to taste it, but you don't show any expression?"
Ouyang Wu couldn't help but said: "Hey, Ye Zhonghua, don't push your luck!"
Ye Zhonghua pulled Ouyang Wu to sit next to him, and snorted arrogantly: "I have never eaten this kind of thing, how can you let me eat it?"
Ouyang Wu thought about it, took a knife to cut the pizza into slices, and put it on the plate in front of him. Seeing that he still had no intention of doing it, he took up The plate was brought to him: "Your Highness Prince Ning, is this okay?"
Ye Chonghua glanced at her and frowned slightly: "Why do you look so reluctant? You don't even have a smile. It really makes people lose their appetite."
"You are obviously deliberately making things difficult for me." Ouyang Wu couldn't help but frown at him. Ye Chonghua looked at her angry look and liked it in his heart. He stretched out his hands and rubbed her face hard. Looking at her dark eyes and slightly pouting lips, "Why are you pouting? I haven't lost my temper with you yet. You haven't been spending time with me recently."
Ye Chonghua looked at her and didn't move: "Forget it, this prince is generous and won't bother with you. If you feed me, I will forgive you."
"Okay, okay!" Ouyang Wu was wronged. She cut the pizza into small pieces and fed him one bite at a time. After watching him taste it, she asked, "How does it taste?"
This taste is the first time I have tried it, but it tastes really good. The chicken is different from what I have eaten in the past, and the beef tastes very delicious. The shrimp meat also tasted different, and there were some seasonings he couldn't name. The pancakes underneath were also very soft and crispy. Ouyang Wu fed him two slices, and he said, "Sit down and eat with me."
"Okay." Ouyang Wu took a small bite, and then saw Ye Chonghua approaching, "I want to eat what you've bitten."
Ouyang Wu couldn't help but glare at him, but saw Ye Chonghua's face close at hand, with handsome eyebrows, clear eyes, and a high nose bridge. He really had a natural and elegant charm.
"Why, you don't want to? Then I'll bite you!" His eyes were slightly raised, with a sly smile, and before Ouyang Wu could react, his thin lips covered with oil came over and kissed her lips.
"Hmm." Ouyang Wu was startled and couldn't help but push him, "Stop it! Someone will see us..."
How could Ye Zhonghua allow her to escape? He put his palm on the back of her head, pressed her towards him, and kissed her deeply. His long tongue drove straight into her, kissing her breathlessly.
