Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Autumn

Chapter 37

Before, I thought the weather was hot, and I would sweat all over after walking a few steps outside. In the blink of an eye, it was early autumn, and the wind was a little cool.

The seasonal food in the kitchen was taken out, such as iced green bean soup, iced cheese, etc. Jiang Yu thought about it for a few days and changed it to rock sugar pear soup for soothing the throat, candied lotus root for clearing the lungs, etc.

Du Qing was playing shuttlecock in the yard, Cuiping smiled and helped her count, and Du Qing's childish laughter could be heard from time to time.

A maid came in and reported, "Madam, Madam He from Datong is visiting."

Jiang Yu was counting the accounts. Since the incident with Prime Minister Zhao, Jiang's reputation has become famous. Everyone knows that it has prepared imperial meals for the emperor in the palace, so the business is naturally booming. Because there are so many customers, she is already considering expanding the restaurant.

"Mrs. He from Datong?"

Jiang Yu was pleasantly surprised and stood up to greet her. Mrs. He was still the same, wearing a red peony patterned brocade jacket and a red gold phoenix hairpin with a ruby on her head. She walked in elegantly, followed by a boy, who was her third son He Rui.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Mrs. He, how come you have time to come to Beijing?"

Mrs. He smiled and said, "Isn't there a flower viewing banquet hosted by Princess Taihe in a few days? Of course I have to come to see it."

Jiang Yu remembered that Princess Taihe had sent her an invitation. She thought that she only had this one child, who was too young to get married, and she was ready to turn it down.

After entering the flower hall, Cuiping brought tea and waited for them to sit down. Jiang Yu had to look at He Rui twice, thinking that Mrs. He said she was going to the flower viewing banquet, wasn't it to meet He Rui?

Mrs. He naturally saw Jiang Yu's doubts, and asked He Rui to come and pay her respects after they sat down.

Du Qing was naturally happy to see He Rui at this moment. The two children kept flirting with each other due to the rules. It was mainly because He Rui made faces that Du Qing could hardly hold back his laughter.

He Shi looked at the pair of children with joy. When Jiang Yu asked about it, she said, "My niece's marriage is about to be decided. She asked me to help take a look. I have nothing else to do and I want to come to the capital to play for a while, so I came here."

Jiang Yu originally wanted to keep He Shi at home, but He Shi was rich and had a yard in the capital, which was actually very close to the Jiang family.

Seeing Jiang Yu so close to her, He was also very happy. She remembered what her husband, Mr. Zhang, said. She thought that she would never return from such a dangerous matter. Who knew that she would come out safely like this? It can be seen that the people behind her are not ordinary. When she heard that He wanted to let the two families get married, she felt that it was very appropriate and said, "The child is still young. There is only one child in their family. They are always reluctant to let him go. It is better to let Jiang see the character of the third child. If you know him well, everything will be smooth in the future."

He also thought so, so she deliberately found a reason to come to Beijing this time. The first reason was to see how Jiang Yu was doing. After all, such a big thing happened. The other reason was to let the two children get close to each other.

Of course, she also brought a piece of news, but she didn't know whether it was important to Jiang Yu.

He Rui also said that he brought gifts for Du Qing. Jiang Yu took a look and saw a few katydids, a white rabbit, and a few goldfish. Du Qing liked these more than the cakes and clothes, especially the little rabbit. He held it in his arms and refused to let go.

Jiang Yu asked Cui Ping to take the two children to play in the yard. He Rui behaved well in front of the adults. After all, he had to follow the rules. But once he got out of the door, he was like a happy rabbit and ran away with Du Qing.

He looked a little embarrassed and said, "This child is too naughty."

Jiang Yu liked He Rui very much. She felt that although he was naughty, he knew his limits and could calm down when he needed to be steady. She said, "It's normal for children to be naughty."

He was also happy to see Jiang Yu speak for He Rui. Then she talked about something very important, "A big thing happened in the palace recently. Have you heard about it?"

Jiang Yu was stunned. He showed an expression of "as expected" and said, "In the past, women who wanted to join the Shanggong Bureau had to be unmarried. I heard that the rules have been changed now. Married women can also join, as long as they are talented and knowledgeable." "

When did it happen?"

He looked outside and saw the two children swinging together again. Du Qing was sitting on the swing, and He Rui, who was always very naughty, pushed her tirelessly. Her expression softened, and she turned back to Jiang Yu and said, "Our Lord has found out the news. There is no decree yet, but it will happen in a day or two."

Jiang Yu was stunned. She had always wanted to join the Shanggong Bureau, and she just casually mentioned it to He when chatting. She actually remembered this matter.

He obviously had someone in the palace, and said, "It was proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Yu's expression was complicated.

He said, "Although the rules have been changed, married women have to serve their parents-in-law, take care of children, and take care of household affairs at home. They are very busy, and their husbands will not agree. How can they enter the Shanggong Bureau? I think it's just empty talk."

He was right. Anyone with some knowledge is naturally well-off, and the families these women can marry into are also well-matched. Which in-laws will let their daughters-in-law show up in public?

After waiting for He to leave, Jiang Yu had been a little restless in her heart. She had given up long ago, but at this moment she felt eager again.

While waiting for Du Haoyu to come back at night, Jiang Yu had to tell this matter. Du Haoyu had actually heard the rumors. After hearing this, he pondered for a long time and said, "Ayu, haven't you always wanted to go? Then just give it a try."

Jiang Yu was a little hesitant. Du Haoyu saw her concerns and said, "I'll talk to your mother. As for your father, you don't have to worry. He loves you the most and will naturally not stop you. As for the restaurant, it has always been managed by Manager Wang, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Where is Qing'er?"

"There are so many people at home, is there no one who can take good care of Qing'er? Besides, you are not not coming back, and the Hanlin Academy is close to the palace. I will pick you up when I go back, and we will go home together. Isn't it a good thing for the husband and wife to follow each other? Qing'er will definitely be happy to see it."

If it were someone else, they would at least be happy, but when it came to Du Haoyu, he was different. He was not a law-abiding person. As long as Jiang Yu liked it, he was willing to support it.

Jiang Yu was touched and didn't know how to express it for a moment. Du Haoyu seemed to see Jiang Yu's embarrassment and said, "The test is very difficult. Don't you think you can fail it? Aren't you worrying about nothing now?"

Jiang Yu was very confident and was still amused by Du Haoyu. He said, "Just wait and see."
