Awakened Xiangfu Qianjin

Fortunately, Princess Changle is not a material for doing business. After spending more than an hour wandering around in the account room, she felt bored.He wanted to go out for a stroll, but he was afraid that Chu Yutang would bring up the old story again, so he asked himself to be a waiter, so he simply said that he was going back to the palace, and went to have fun by himself.

"It's really easy to invite the Buddha and difficult to send the Buddha away." Chu Yutang propped his forehead and sighed weakly.

Although Shi Wanwan felt that this matter was difficult to handle, she still comforted Chu Yutang.

"Ah Chu, I don't think the princess has much patience in this store. You just let her come and go a few times, and when she is fresh, she will naturally be too lazy to run away."

Chu Yutang rolled his eyelids, sighed again, and said, "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you!"

Shi Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.

"She always makes excuses for no reason to come to the store, and she smirks at you from time to time. I don't think she treats you well! You must be careful."

Chu Yutang has always been unable to figure out what he is capable of, which would make Princess Changle suddenly take the initiative to marry him.Looking at her interaction with Shi Wanwan today, I couldn't help but think of another possibility.

Could it be that Princess Changle's goal is not herself, but that she, the son-in-law of the Xiangfu, is in the way?

That won't work, that won't work.Princess Changle is a woman, how could she have any unreasonable thoughts about Shi Wanwan?If this is really possible, she hasn't had time to act yet, how can Princess Changle step in again.

After Chu Yutang realized that his possession and desire for Shi Wanwan gradually increased, he felt incredible.Obviously, he never had any perverted thoughts about her, and he never thought that he would fall in love with others again.

Seeing that Chu Yutang's face darkened, Shi Wanwan thought she had thought of some important clue, and asked with concern: "Ah Chu, did you find something?"

Chu Yutang shook his head so dizzy that he suppressed all the messy possibilities in his mind.She cleared her throat and said solemnly: "Wanwan, I think this Princess Changle is very strange. She must be taking the opportunity to cling to us. As for the purpose, I haven't figured it out for a while. But, you must be vigilant!"

Shi Wanwan remembered what Princess Changle said in her ear just now, and agreed with Chu Yutang's analysis.Although she tried her best to avoid the prince's favor, King Qi has always been at odds with the prince.Even if he didn't become the crown prince himself, as the prime minister, Shi Qiran would stand in the prince's camp, which made King Qi always have a grudge against Shi Fu.

"You should also be more careful. Doing business in this city is different from the previous Yufeng Pavilion. Remember not to confront the Kang family head-on, as the forces behind them are very powerful." Shi Wanwan did not forget to remind Chu Yutang.

"Let's stop talking about such a heavy topic. While the weather is good, let's go out for a walk. I was busy with the opening of the store a while ago, so I haven't gone shopping with you for a long time." Chu Yutang stood up while supporting the desk, and stretched his arms Lazy, said with great interest.

"Where to go?"

"Tianxiang Tower."

In this way, Shi Wanwan was held by Chu Yutang's hand and walked all the way to Tianxiang Tower.The shopkeeper had very good eyesight, and immediately recognized the two of them, and arranged a private room for them.

Shi Wanwan was puzzled, just said a moment ago that she wanted to avoid the Kang family, and came to Tianxiang Tower in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Chu, why did you come to Tianxiang Tower?"

"Come and observe and learn. Learn from each other's strengths."

Learn from each other?Shi Wanwan listened with great interest.

Knowing that she was curious, Chu Yutang explained: "Today Xianglou can become the number one in the capital, it is definitely not just relying on the Kang family's fame and financial resources, it must have its own advantages. And if we want to find another way, we should avoid it To compete head-on, we must find its weaknesses and start with differences.”

The pastries and tea were brought up quickly, and the room was lit with high-quality agarwood as required, and the faint aroma lingered, making the whole dining environment elegant.Shi Wanwan couldn't help but be attracted by the exquisite pastry in front of her, and she couldn't bear to do it, for fear of ruining the beauty.

"Wanwan, do you think this refreshment is very attractive?"

"Well, it's really novel. I don't seem to have seen it before."

Chu Yutang smiled lightly, and introduced: "Try one and see if the taste matches the appearance."

Shi Wanwan took a bite lightly, and the soft, glutinous, and pink slippery skin gave her a full taste.After biting it, the rich fruity aroma immediately filled her mouth, making her a little intoxicated.

"Isn't it a surprise?" Chu Yutang didn't seem like it was the first time we met, and the degree of novelty was much less than that of Shi Wanwan.

"This is Xue Linglong, but it is different from other glutinous rice dumpling in the capital. It has the freshest fruits of the season in the middle, and most of them are shipped from the south."

"No wonder the taste just now was very special. However, transporting the fruit from south to north may cost a lot. Tianxianglou can afford it, and the taste is not much worse than the one in the palace." Shi Wanwan recalled the feeling just now, Review it.

"This is the recipe of the Chu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the first creation of the Chu family."

"What? How could it be?" Shi Wanwan was shocked, not understanding how the Chu family's secret recipe became a new product of Tianxianglou.

Chu Yutang poured Shi Wanwan a cup of Longjing tea.He took a sip of hot tea to balance the sweetness of Xue Linglong.

"The last time He Mingxuan came to Beijing, you saw him in Hongyuan Temple, remember?"

Shi Wanwan nodded, as if she had already guessed something.

"I think it should be He Mingxuan who contributed Xue Linglong's formula in order to show his sincerity to Kang Youzhi. Isn't Tianxianglou the property managed by Kang Youzhi?"

Shi Wanwan frowned, recalling the impression that He Mingxuan gave her at that time, how could a person who looks quite upright do such a thing.

"Giving the owner's secret recipe to a competitor without authorization is probably against business ethics."

"It's more than business. If He Mingxuan doesn't stop him in time, I'm afraid he will sell more things in the future." Chu Yutang sighed heavily.

That's right, if he is allowed to go on like this, not only will the Chu family's business secrets be leaked, but even the young master's life will be ruined.It's just such a tragedy, Chu Yutang didn't dare to tell anyone before finding conclusive evidence.Even now, she dare not tell everything about Shi Wanwan, whom she trusts the most.

"Then you brought me to Tianxiang Tower today, not only to taste the Xue Linglong produced by Chu's company?" Shi Wanwan also tasted a dragon well, and she found that Longjing tea paired with this soft, glutinous and sweet Xue Linglong is simply the best The combination.

"Wanwan, I want to serve refreshments in our store. Take back the honor that should belong to the Chu family."

"I understand how you feel. It's just that Tianxianglou has already taken the lead. Both the name and the formula have been branded as Tianxianglou. If we follow up at this time, we may be bitten by Kang Youzhi." Don't let it go, take the opportunity to make trouble. After all, this matter is our fault in name."

Chu Yutang nodded understandingly, and said, "I've considered everything you said. But my Chu family has more than one recipe that I can get. Although the Chu family didn't start as a restaurant, over the years, they have successively acquired There are many famous local snack shops in the industry, and there are quite a few recipes in our hands. According to my understanding of He Mingxuan, he will never give them all away for the first time. Maybe this Xue Linglong is his only gift. .”

Shi Wanwan agreed, and said, "What you said makes sense. According to what I know about Kang Youzhi, if he had more secret recipes in his hand, he would definitely not release only this one."

"so...."

"So, I'm going to fight back with Longjing crisps and honey sauce dumplings."

Shi Wanwan asked with some uncertainty: "Do you carry these secret recipes with you?"

Chu Yutang's face froze, he shook his head numbly, and replied, "Of course not."

Shi Wanwan took a deep breath, tried to maintain a smile, and said, "Then there is no recipe, how do you make these pastries?"

"I will find a way to get it from Jiangnan." Chu Yutang was quite confident about this.

"You yourself escaped from marriage. If the news is sent back now, why don't you be arrested and go home?"

Shi Wanwan never forgot how nervous Chu Yutang was when she heard He Mingxuan was there last time in Hongyuan Temple.Did you forget the embarrassment at that time so quickly?

"Today is different. Now I have you as my backer! Hahahaha, the two of us, husband and wife, are more profitable than gold."

Shi Wanwan lowered her voice and said, "Don't mess around, you clearly know that we are just... If you really want to go back to Chu's house, I can't help you or anything. After all, we only have the status of husband and wife."

Shi Wanwan's voice became weaker the further she spoke.But Chu Yutang could hear every word clearly, and the interest that he was talking about just now dimmed in an instant.

Shi Wanwan didn't miss Chu Yutang's emotional changes, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.Things that I deliberately didn't want to think about before now seem to be pressing harder and harder.Shi Wanwan couldn't avoid it, let alone pretend that she didn't know.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.In the end, Chu Yutang brought up the topic again, saying: "Actually, I don't necessarily need to inform Jiangnan. But sooner or later, I will not be able to hide my identity. It won't take long for He Mingxuan to know the news of my disappearance when he returns this time." Combined with the things in the capital, it is easy to guess that I am here."

The corner of Chu Yutang's mouth raised a touch of bitterness, faintly, but it hurt Shi Wanwan's heart.She blurted out anxiously: "Even if I know, I can keep you."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Shi Wanwan knew that she was in a hurry.He hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in a concealed manner: "Since you and I have already decided on our status, I think that the Chu family should be satisfied with this marriage if I insist on it."

But Chu Yutang shook his head firmly, and said, "No matter who it is, mother will not be satisfied. In her heart, only the woman surnamed Liu is her real daughter-in-law."

"Woman? Sister An you mentioned?" Shi Wanwan asked tentatively.

Chu Yutang was surprised, she didn't expect Shi Wanwan to remember such details.

Shi Wanwan fell into a long silence, Chu Yutang didn't know which sentence touched Shi Wanwan.I had to drink tea silently by the side, not daring to disturb.

"Doesn't your mother know that you are a woman? How could she still arrange this marriage for you?" Shi Wanwan's voice was very soft, as if she was asking a question, or whispering to herself.

"It is precisely because my mother knows everything that she chose this marriage for me. It is precisely because she values ​​the Liu family very much that she chose Liu Yu'an among the daughters of the Liu family."

"Liu Yu'an, is this your fiancée?" Although the words "fiancee" were a bit awkward, Shi Wanwan was still trying to clear her mind.

No matter how cruel the previous life was, when Liu Yu'an was mentioned, Chu Yutang couldn't keep his mind from being calm.Bursting with pain, she could only close her eyes, clenched her fists with both hands, and said with all her strength: "Liu Yu'an also knows my identity. She already knew it many years ago."

Shi Wanwan was confused. Since the other party was also an insider, it seemed that Chu Yutang's mother had chosen her for her, so she should continue to cover for her.Why was she forced to flee before getting married?

"You want to ask me why I ran away from marriage? Why did I escape at this time after being engaged for ten years?"

Shi Wanwan nodded, waiting for Chu Yutang to give her an answer.

"Because I know people and face but not heart. It took me ten years to see clearly how terrifying a person's heart is." Chu Yutang burst into tears when he said this.

Shi Wanwan knew that many painful things must have happened, which made Chu Yutang so sad.She couldn't bear to ask any more, but took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears from Chu Yutang's face.

"Wanwan, since I met you, I seldom cry." Chu Yutang suddenly held the hand that was wiping her tears, and said something for no reason.

Shi Wanwan's hand was held by her, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.Just being watched by Chu Yutang, after a while, he suddenly woke up.He pulled out his hand fiercely, but the handkerchief lightly brushed against Chu Yutang's face during the process of pulling it away.

Like a gentle spring breeze, the tears on Chu Yutang's face and the pain in his heart were gradually soothed by Shi Wanwan's soft veil.But Shi Wanwan pulled away from her like a frightened bird.

The author has something to say: Chu Yutang: Wan Wan, have you heard a famous saying?A good wife shouldn't make her husband cry every day~~

Shi Wanwan: Oh?How should a good husband treat his wife?

Chu Yutang: Well, as the old saying goes, a good husband will make his wife scream every night!

Shi Wanwan:...
