Jiang Miao hadn't fallen asleep since Shen Yanqing left. She had been thinking about breakfast, but Shen Yanqing couldn't wait for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang had already warmed breakfast several times.
"I was delayed for a while on the way."
Shen Yanqing did not tell Prime Minister Liu in front of Mrs. Zhang and others. Jiang Miao had been with him for a long time and knew that he was not a dishonest person. He probably encountered something that he could not avoid, so she took the breakfast from him He handed it to Qinglian and urged him to wash his hands and eat.
Lin's crab roe buns have a thin skin and are fragrant. The soup is neither salty nor light, and the taste is moderate. There is still a lingering fragrance in the mouth after eating, which makes people have endless aftertaste. Jiang Miao ate three in a row, and then drank a cup of warm bean juice. It's really comfortable.
It was the first time for the Shen family to eat it, and they fell in love with it after just one bite. Mrs. Xu has become accustomed to eating good food over the years, and her mouth has become very good. She finished the last bun and licked her lips with some unfinished thoughts.
"The food in Beijing is very particular. We have eaten hairy crabs before thanks to Miao Ya, but we didn't expect it to be so delicious when made into soup dumplings."
"No, those who can open a shop in the capital are those who have inherited it from their families. It is the craftsmanship of our ancestors. Maybe the emperor has also tasted it. How can it taste bad?"
Wang nodded in agreement. She had been in the food business for two or three years, and she had some insights into the materials and techniques involved.
"But our food court is not inferior. These crab roe buns are just fresh. You can't buy fresh crab roe elsewhere. If we open the food court in the capital, the business may be better than theirs. .”
"That is, if nothing else, our rice noodles and duck blood vermicelli can also make a lot of people line up."
The two sisters were talking there, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the future of the capital was good.
Jiang Miao also thought about opening a food street in the capital. She and Xu Ziwen's hot pot restaurant was very successful. However, land in Beijing is very expensive, so it is difficult to buy a street and open a store.
Moreover, Shen Yanqing is just a young man now. If they do things too high-profile, they can easily make people jealous. But when her identity is revealed, she can cooperate with the emperor and the eldest princess.
Prime Minister Liu came home angrily. Liu Ruyan had been thinking about getting married these days. When she saw her father coming back, she hurried to greet him.
"Dad, has Shen Yanqing promised to marry me?"
After Liu Wenxuan finished eating the last piece of snack, he took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped his mouth. Looking at Liu Ruyan's expression of hate to marry, his eyes were filled with contempt.
"If you keep going like this, he might be looking down on you."
"Shut your crow mouth!"
Liu Ruyan glared at him. She didn't believe that Shen Yanqing would refuse. Liu Ruyan looked at Prime Minister Liu expectantly, but what he said next directly poured cold water on her.
"You don't have to worry about Shen Yanqing in the future. Your mother and I will give you a visit to your husband's house after the new year. You can stay in your boudoir with peace of mind until you get married."
"father?"
Liu Ruyan's face turned pale and she couldn't believe what her father said.
"Is it because Shen Yanqing doesn't want to marry me?"
She spoke with difficulty, feeling a sense of embarrassment in her heart. Shen Yanqing had just rejected her, but now even Prime Minister Liu had rejected her. Liu Ruyan was unwilling to accept this fact. Could she really be inferior to Jiang Miao?
"A yellow-haired boy, with some literary talent, still dares to flirt with me. It's okay not to marry such a person. I want to see how far he can go with his ability. Sooner or later, he will regret it."
Prime Minister Liu did not expect that Shen Yanqing would be so determined and not even give him face. Even if he valued him, Prime Minister Liu would not ask an arrogant person to be his son-in-law.
"I won't marry anyone else, only him..."
Liu Ruyan's heart tightened. She knew how bright Shen Yanqing's future was and that he would definitely become a very popular minister in the future. It was precisely because of his confidence that he dared to refuse Prime Minister Liu.
Liu Ruyan fell in love with him even more than he was greedy for fame and fortune.
"Take the lady down, and you are not allowed to go out for anything else!"
Seeing her stubbornness, Liu Cheng lost his patience and directly ordered Xiu'er to take Liu Ruyan back to the room, which meant that she was going to be grounded.
"Mom, I don't want..."
How could Liu Ruyan respond? She was locked in the backyard and didn't know anything. She moved closer to Mrs. Liu and lay on her knees acting coquettishly.
"Mom, can you help me tell dad not to restrain my feet?"
"I can't help but let you go and pester Shen Yanqing, the dignified daughter of the prime minister. You are like a shameless cheat. You have completely embarrassed me. Xiu'er, pull her down quickly. Who can ask for this love today?" It’s no use!”
Prime Minister Liu was furious, and his tone of voice became more serious. Liu Ruyan's face turned red after being scolded, and tears couldn't help falling. Mrs. Liu didn't dare to go against Prime Minister Liu's words, but she couldn't bear to let her daughter be sad, so she could only hold her and comfort her. and coaxed.
"Your father is angry right now. You can live in peace for a few days. After the two-day Lantern Festival, can your mother beg him to let you go out to relax?"
"Well, my daughter listens to her mother."
As long as she could still go out, Liu Ruyan felt more comfortable. The Lantern Festival was also a time for unmarried men and ladies in the capital to date. Prime Minister Liu wanted her to get married as soon as possible, so he would never hold her captive on this day.
As for Shen Yanqing, Liu Ruyan will never give up. No matter whether he wants to marry her or not, his wife will only be her, Liu Ruyan. Otherwise, why would she have that dream? , don’t even think about taking it back easily.
Mrs. Zhang took care of the house during the Chinese New Year, so Jiang Miao ate and slept every day. She gained several pounds these days.
"Do I have any fat on my waist..."
She was trying on the new clothes sent by Yuhua Tower. It was a rare occasion for her to go out. She wanted to dress up beautifully during the Lantern Festival, but when she saw the soft flesh on her waist, Jiang Miao's face turned bad.
She has been out of control recently and has indeed gained weight.
Shen Yanqing was leaning on the bedside reading a book. When he saw Jiang Miao pinching the little flesh on her slender waist, she felt that she was making a fuss. She was already thin and needed to put on more flesh.
"Ms. sir, do you think I've gained weight?"
Jiang Miao walked to the bed and asked him with a frown, her expression still nervous.
Shen Yanqing squeezed it. The flesh under his hands was soft and felt like cotton. He couldn't put it down.
Jiang Miao didn't wait for a reply for a long time. When Shen Yanqing lowered her head and started playing seriously, she was so angry that she slapped his hand.
"Salty pig knuckles!"
"Ahem..."
Shen Yanqing was scolded as a hooligan by her, and felt helpless and funny.
"You have the most well-proportioned figure. Where do you gain weight?"
"real?"
Jiang Miao is beautiful. She actually thinks that her curvy figure is a standard figure, but how can a woman think she is thin? When she sees the fat on her waist, she still worries that she has gained weight unknowingly. Shen Yanqing is her pillow person. , I probably won’t lie to her.
