Su Jiaojiao slumped back on the chair. Although she was very tired, she was very happy.
"Jiaojiao girl, drink some tea!" Chunhua poured her a cup of tea and then placed fruits, preserves and other food in front of her.
"Ayun, do you think my mother will be happy when she sees me working so hard in the shop and making money again soon?"
"Yes, why not?"
Su Nianyun nodded, "Why don't we bring Aunt Azhu to meet her tomorrow? Jiaojiao is so capable, she will definitely be very happy."
"Well," Su Jiaojiao thought for a moment and shook her head, "Forget it, wait a little longer..."
"Why?"
Su Jiaojiao said, "It's only been two days since the store opened. I want to wait until the store is stable before letting my mother come and see it."
Although she was nominally in charge of the Jade Face Agar and Su's Gouache shops, the Jade Face Agar mainly relied on the contributions of the Shi family's father and daughter, and she had no credit.
On the contrary, because he had just set foot in managing the store, he caused a lot of chaos for the two father and daughter, but they did not complain.
Therefore, she wanted her mother to see the Su's gouache shop that she had set up and run by herself to prove her ability.
Su Nianyun agreed with Su Jiaojiao's idea, "Okay, then do what you want."
"But when you take Aunt Azhu to Beijing, don't forget to inform me..."
Today, seeing that the business of the shop was pretty good, Su Nianyun stayed at the gouache shop for a relatively short time. At noon, she returned to the Chen Mansion.
As soon as they entered the house, word spread that Zhou Yao abandoned the child and ran away.
The little girl asked Su Nianyun to see the old lady, and saw the old lady holding the child.
Compared to the other chaos in the mansion, the old lady had no expression at all.
Su Nianyun knew that this was the ending that the old lady was most looking forward to. Zhou Yao's absence would solve her serious problem, and she would not seriously look for someone.
"Nian Yun, this kid is also pitiful. You are pregnant and have inconvenience. How about you let me take care of the child?"
The old lady brought the child to her in advance, fearing that Su Nianyun would snatch the child.
What Su Nianyun was pregnant with was not from the Chen family, but this one was.
She couldn't let the Chen family's grandson grow up under Su Nianyun's hands. Maybe whether he would grow up or not was another question.
In short, Su Nianyun cannot be allowed to have an heir of the Chen family.
So the old lady struck first to gain advantage.
Of course she didn't know, and Su Nianyun naturally didn't care at all.
Why does she care about this?
He is just a child who is not even remotely related to the Chen family.
"Old madam, what you said makes sense. I feel relieved that the child is with you!"
"As long as you have no objection." The old lady nodded, "An'er went to Zhengyang Academy. You just took the opportunity to raise your baby at home. Without Zhou Yao, no one will bother you anymore..."
Su Nianyun still nodded, "What the old lady said makes sense, then I will go back and rest first."
The old lady looked at the unexpectedly docile Su Nianyun and asked Wen's mother, "Every time I see someone like Su Nianyun who takes everything indifferently, I get angry."
"Moreover, she didn't say anything, she was obviously dissatisfied with me!"
"Old madam, I think you are worrying too much."
Wen Ma said, "I feel that the princess's attitude towards you is slowly returning to the time when she first entered the mansion..."
"What do you mean?"
Wen's mother continued, "Old madam, the uncle is listening to the study where Feng Yue has lived in for more than a month... The uncle is slowly awakening the love that the princess once had..."
"Is this really true?" The old lady's eyes lit up.
"Mama Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Ma was hesitating, she couldn't see the high and exquisite things that Wen Ma thought highly of, so she could only reluctantly agree with Wen Ma.
"Yes, old lady, I also feel the same way as Mother Wen!"
Holding the child in her arms, the old lady couldn't help but rub the child's cheek.
"Did you hear that, kid? Let me just say, the princess is always full of all kinds of feelings for your father, and it is easy for her to be completely devoted to the Chen family!"
As long as the princess regains her former feelings for Shao An, she, the old lady, can really do whatever she wants!
Without Zhou Yao and the child, Tingfeng Courtyard was very quiet.
Even Biyu temporarily went to her mother's side under the pretext of being transferred in the palace.
It suddenly became quiet, and Su Nianyun felt even more at ease.
After a few days of clearing her ears, she finally took Su Jiaojiao and others to a restaurant to celebrate.
"Ayun, where exactly are you taking us?"
Su Jiaojiao saw that the place where Su Nianyun led them was getting more and more luxurious, and she did not dare to move forward.
What she experienced last time was still vivid in her mind, and she didn't want to make it difficult for Su Nianyun.
Moreover, these places are indeed not suitable for bumpkins like them from Mobei.
Unexpectedly, Su Nianyun consoled her, "Jiaojiao, if you want to be nervous, the Tian'en Water Pavilion we went to today is a place only for women."
"Only...a place for women?" Su Jiaojiao was stunned, "Is there such a restaurant that only entertains women and not men?"
"Of course there is," Su Nianyun smiled, "This is the capital city. The capital city is prosperous and has everything..."
Tian En Shui Pavilion is a building on the lake.
Rumor has it that this was the place where Xie Tianen, a talented woman, once lived.
This building changed hands and was repaired several times in later generations, and finally became a restaurant.
Because of Xie Tianen's name, this restaurant only entertains women. It is more difficult for women to go out than men. It is rare to have such a gathering place, and the business of Tianen Waterside Pavilion is particularly good.
"Wow," Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but exclaimed as she walked into the waterside pavilion, "This place is really unique."
Women walked side by side in twos and threes, some left, and some just came in like Su Nianyun and others.
The attendants here are all women, so after the women come in, they are very relaxed.
On the stage, singers and dancers each had their own unique skills. Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, several people sat at an empty table blocked by a screen.
Su Jiaojiao did not sit down in a hurry, but touched the tables and chairs excitedly, "Ayun, even the tables and chairs here are made of fine mahogany."
Su Nianyun smiled and said, "Sit down quickly, our purpose is not just to look at the tables and chairs..."
"Ah, don't look at the tables and chairs. Is that the showgirl in the stands?"
Su Nianyun said, "Not only that, but also these guests."
"Guest?" Su Jiaojiao was puzzled.
"Yes," Su Nianyun nodded, "haven't you always wanted to see who our jade-faced agar-agar rouge and gouache has been sold to? This is a good opportunity."
