Shen Yanqing remained calm on the surface, but secretly he asked the secret guards to investigate.
Now that Shi Lei is guarding the customs and Li Biao is handling the affairs of the capital, the one he can use is Liang Duo.
Because Liang Duo and shopkeeper Qin were newly married when they set off, Shen Yanqing allowed them to set off later, and the date was almost here.
Jiang Chuan is capable, but he is too shrewd to be of great use.
Especially the concealment of food supplies made him not have a good impression of this person.
The people of Qiongzhou were already poor, with Gu Danian before them and Jiang Chuan behind them. After exploitation, the people's lives would only become more miserable.
It seems that if we want to develop Qiongzhou, we need to change the officialdom, and Jiang Chuan and his men can no longer use it.
Shen Yanqing was thinking about something, and when his fingers landed on the table, it made a 'dong-dong' sound, and Jiang Chuan's nervous heartbeat almost stopped.
"Sir, Madam asked Qinglian to bring desserts and make afternoon tea for you."
Just when Jiang Chuan and others were panicking, Zhu Kuan knocked on the door and came in with a basket.
When he heard that Jiang Miao had sent it, the coldness on Shen Yanqing's face melted away, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"Send it in."
Everyone clearly felt that the temperature in the room had increased, and the suffocating atmosphere immediately changed.
Not all of them have met Jiang Miao, but they have all heard rumors about Shen Yanqing and his wife and are curious about Princess Rongning.
I originally thought that the rumors of their love as husband and wife were exaggerated, but Shen Yanqing's rapid change of attitude made everyone have ideas.
Maybe the rumors are true.
Especially Jiang Chuan, who originally wanted to give Jiang Wen to Shen Yanqing as his concubine, now felt a little unsure.
Jiang Miao made a lot of desserts, and he couldn't finish them all by himself. Although Shen Yanqing was reluctant, she still let Zhu Kuan share the rest with everyone.
"This is the dessert made by Madam. You should try it too."
"yes."
Seeing Shen Yanqing sharing the desserts with them, everyone was flattered. The desserts in front of them were exquisite and tempting. They didn't know how they were made, but they had the aroma of milk.
Not all of them like to eat sweets, but the sweet and smooth taste of mango thousand-layer cake easily conquered everyone's taste buds.
"tasty!"
"What kind of snack is this? This is the first time I have eaten it."
Since the portions given to each person were not large, they only had a taste and could only look at what Shen Yanqing was holding.
The group of people looked like hungry wolves, but Shen Yanqing didn't notice at all and still slowly finished the desserts in his hands, making everyone greedy.
Zhu Kuan couldn't stand it anymore and answered everyone's questions from the side.
"Madam said, these are mille-feuille and fried bananas made with mango and banana. They are all familiar ingredients to you adults."
It is indeed a familiar ingredient, but the food produced is amazing.
Everyone was a little more curious about Princess Rongning, whom they had never met before.
"Master Jiang, your second wife is here."
Jiang Wen followed the guard. She was holding a food box in her hand. Because it was relatively heavy, her fair face turned red with heat, making her look adorable.
She entered the door and bowed to Shen Yanqingfu first. The little lady lowered her head, revealing a section of her white and tender neck. She wore a pair of pearl earrings on her small earlobes. She swayed slightly in her movements and was very cute.
Jiang Wen knew which angle she looked best at, and had practiced it hundreds of times in front of the mirror at home. Unfortunately, the man in the first place didn't even look at her, and Jiang Wen felt disappointed.
"Why are Wen'er here?"
Jiang Chuan swallowed the dessert in his mouth and asked her lovingly.
It was Aunt Fang's wish that Jiang Wen come here today. Yesterday, he and Aunt Fang had agreed to let Jiang Wen and Shen Yanqing have more contact. With Jiang Wen's talent and appearance, it would be difficult for any man not to be tempted by her.
"Dad, my daughter made some snacks. You adults are busy with work, so you just need to have something to relax."
As she spoke, she glanced at the person in front of the table, but Shen Yanqing was busy eating desserts and didn't notice her at all.
Jiang Wen bit her lip unwillingly. She had specially dressed up today. She was wearing a new dress made a few days ago. The blue color matched her best, but this outfit was completely for a blind person to see.
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Chuan reached out and took the food box, "Wen'er is interested."
He opened the food box, shared it with the ministers around him, and spoke words of praise.
"My daughter likes to tinker with food, and her craftsmanship is pretty passable."
His tone was self-effacing, but the smile on his face showed that Jiang Chuan was very proud of Jiang Wen's craftsmanship.
Everyone had just eaten the desserts sent by Jiang Miao and had not yet passed the craving. Seeing that Jiang Wen also sent snacks, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Oh? Since Mr. Jiang said so, Mrs. Jiang's craftsmanship must be excellent! We are blessed today."
Jiang Wen made mille-feuille pastry with red bean paste. The pastry was very delicate, but she didn't control the heat well. The outer skin was a little hard when baked, and the filling inside was too sweet.
Everyone didn't want to eat any more after taking one bite. It was just the most ordinary snack. They ate a lot on weekdays, and there were many more delicious ones than this one. None could compare with the freshness of Lord Rong Ning's mango mille-feuille.
Originally, Jiang Wen's desserts were pretty good, but in comparison, Jiang Miao's dessert pearls made her skills seem mediocre.
Jiang Chuan looked at everyone's expressions and picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. After tasting the taste, the smile on his face disappeared.
Compared with the princess's craftsmanship, it was really poor. No wonder the ministers didn't like it.
For his daughter's sake, he finished the snack and drank another cup of tea to suppress the sweetness in his mouth.
Jiang Wen didn't pay attention to everyone's expressions. She walked forward lightly with the plate in her hand and handed the snacks to Shen Yanqing.
"Sir, this is the red bean paste mille-feuille made by my little girl. Do you like it?"
The woman's voice was deliberately soft, and Shen Yanqing frowned slightly before looking up at her.
Jiang Wen suddenly saw Shen Yanqing's face, and her ears turned red. This was the first time she had seen this man up close. It was just as she imagined, he was noble, noble, and heart-wrenching.
"grown ups.……"
Her voice was so sweet that Shen Yanqing felt like flies were flying in his ears.
He doesn't like sweets at all, but the ones he likes are made by Jiang Miao, and the food sent by other random people cannot satisfy his taste.
"Need not."
The man sternly refused, and the expression on Jiang Wen's face turned awkward for a moment, and she shook the tray in her hand. She felt extremely embarrassed at this time, and she didn't even dare to turn around, for fear that others would see her embarrassment.
Jiang Chuan didn't expect his daughter to be so dissatisfied, but she couldn't even give her a snack.
And Shen Yanqing, he actually refused to give Jiang Wen face in public. Wasn't this also a slap in his face?
Both father and daughter's faces were burning, and everyone else was happy to watch the fun.
