"Princess, let's go back."
The personal maid Yu Qiao walked up to her and said softly.
Princess Anyang looked at the direction the carriage was leaving. After a long time, she sighed, "Yu Qiao, do you think Third Brother will come back?"
Yu Qiao has grown up with Princess Anyang since she was a child, and knows the things around the princess best. Hearing this, Yu Qiao was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't know, but Mr. Chu should have his own ideas. If he wants to come back, the emperor will definitely welcome him."
"Of course! Third brother is such a powerful person. If he stays with the emperor brother, it will be even more powerful!" She said, feeling a little disappointed, "But I really don't know why third brother left suddenly, and then this Zhou Yun My son suddenly appeared and became the princess of Prince Ewu’s mansion!”
"Princess, do you think the reason why Mr. Chu left the capital was because of Zhou Yun'er?"
"It's possible! Why didn't I think of it before?"
Anyang had a flash of inspiration and immediately hated Zhou Yun'er even more. At this moment, she didn't care that Zhou Yun'er was still with the Queen Mother. She took Yu Qiao and went directly to find her.
The palace was lively, and the city was equally lively.
Su Liuye sold out all the stinky tofu and kimchi in the store before noon today. She had to close the store early and return to the kitchen to prepare ingredients for tomorrow.
After some calculation, she found that the ingredients in front of her would only last three or four days, and then there would be nothing left to buy in the store.
But there were only a few days until the New Year, and she happened to take advantage of her free time to go shopping for some New Year's goods on the street.
As expected, all the items in her store were sold out after three days. She simply posted a closure notice on the door, took Qin Lian and the others to buy things on the street for a whole day, and decorated the store. After a while, the red lanterns were hung high.
Mr. Lu sat in the yard and watched them busy, smoking a dry cigarette in his hand, his deep eyes filled with vicissitudes of life.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Mr. Lu sighed and was about to go back to his room to rest. Su Liuye stopped him and held a couplet for him to stick on the door.
"Shall I post it?" Mr. Lu was a little surprised.
"Of course you are here, Grandpa Lu. Isn't this a custom? Since you are here, Grandpa Lu, it must have been posted by Grandpa Lu." Su Liuye said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Lu, come here."
Qin Lian set up the chair and said, "I'll support you below."
Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward and posted the couplet.
When Su Liuye saw the red couplets, they were very festive and very satisfied.
After posting the couplets, a few people cleaned the store again. It snowed in the evening, and a few people were eating hot pot in the store. The temperature was rare and harmonious. Mr. Lu also sat there to accompany them.
Thinking of not going back for several days, Su Liuye wanted to go back to the house with Qin Lian and the others early the next morning. Anyway, the store didn't need to be open these days. They had to wait until spring, so they simply went back for a few days.
Uncle Zhou was arranged by Xiao Yun to take care of them, but because she was in the store these days, Uncle Zhou could only come over to see if she needed anything to avoid any accidents. Uncle Zhou didn't know that this was a dereliction of his duty.
"I'm not going back with you! I'm just staying here!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Su Liuye went over to inform Mr. Lu, but was rebutted by the other party.
"Grandpa Lu, we have to go back for a few days this time. It is estimated that we will not be able to come back until after the new year. You can just follow us to study how to make kimchi." Su Liuye said.
Mr. Lu was a little excited. He was indeed very interested in Su Liuye's method of pickling kimchi. Her method was much faster than his, and he could usually eat it in one night, unlike him who had to pickle for several days. Some even required One month.
"Can't you come back and talk about it?"
"But it's going to snow in a few days. It's not convenient for us to come back if it snows. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Grandpa Lu, please come with us. It will be fun for us to celebrate the Chinese New Year together."
"No, no, no!"
"Go, Grandpa Lu, let's go together." Qin Lian went over and held his hand, "New Year requires a lot of people to be lively. We don't worry if you are here alone!"
"What's there to worry about?"
"go together!"
Qin Lian persuaded Mr. Lu for a long time, and finally persuaded Mr. Lu. She packed some things with a dark face and followed Su Liuye and the others to the house.
Uncle Zhou had already prepared hot meals. He was a little surprised to see Mr. Lu, but he quickly realized and handed over the hot wine.
"This is just hot wine. Come and take a sip to warm yourself up. The food is still in the kitchen and will be ready in a moment."
"Uncle Zhou, I'm really troubling you. Do you need me to come over and help?"
"No, no, no, Mrs. Chu, just rest. I'll take care of those things."
Zhou Bo was cheerful and went to the kitchen after bringing them snacks.
In the evening, when a table of hot meals was ready, Su Liuye looked outside and saw fine snow falling in the dim sky, with a biting chill in the wind.
If I guess correctly, it will probably snow heavily tomorrow.
"Uncle Zhou, Master Xiao and the others haven't come back yet?" Qin Lian asked.
Uncle Zhou put the hot soup on the table. When he heard Qin Lian's question, he sighed and said, "Miss Qin, I don't know, Master Xiao didn't tell me. This house is just one of Master Xiao's houses. He doesn't come here on weekdays, but he just asked me to bring a few servants over during the early hours to clean the house so that Mrs. Chu can live in it."
"What?" Qin Lian asked in shock, "Then... Master Xiao and Brother Chu won't come back for the New Year?"
"Miss Qin, I don't know much about this either."
Hearing what Uncle Zhou said, Qin Lian felt angry in her heart. Just when she was about to explode, she saw Su Liuye's eyes dropped sadly, and then thought that Su Liuye had not seen Chu Yan for so long since he came to the capital. The most uncomfortable person must be is her.
Thinking about it, Qin Lian swallowed what she was about to say, and helped Uncle Zhou go to the kitchen to bring the food over, urging everyone to eat cleanly.
After the meal, Su Liuye took Mr. Lu to study the dishes in the kitchen. This is what they do every day. They want to study more dishes from pickles and buy them in the store in the future. .
Qin Lian didn't know much about this, so she didn't go along. Looking at the snow that was getting heavier outside, she looked towards the door from time to time. She never saw Chu Yan and the others, and she became even more angry.
She had known for a long time that Chu Yan and Su Liuye were not officially married yet, but she didn't expect that Chu Yan would not come back when the new year was approaching. Moreover, it was he who brought Su Liuye to the capital, a place where he was unfamiliar with his life, but she didn't expect him to. Gone.
Is such a man really a good man?
Qin Lian smiled and got angry, put on her clothes and wanted to go out.
