Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

She has never been a person who indulges in negative emotions. If there is something she can't think about, she might as well settle down and make money.

Shuang Jiang's words yesterday reminded her that people in the north like to eat sweet rice dumplings. Although the flavors she plans to introduce are unique, it may not be easy for people to accept them.

With the Dragon Boat Festival still a few days away, it is better to make some in advance and try to promote it.

The materials are all ready-made, and it's easy to make, but glutinous rice and other ingredients need to be soaked in advance, so the morning is relatively free. Gu Qingyou thought of yesterday's duck eggs, changed his clothes, and took Shuang Jiang to the Duke's Mansion in person.

In the past, every time she came here, she would deliberately choose it at night, so as not to attract too much attention from others.

But the Zhang family made trouble a few days ago. Everyone knew that the Duke's wife personally came forward to rescue Gu Qingyou in order to restore the reputation of the Duke's mansion. It was only reasonable for her to prepare a small gift and come to thank her.

Xue Lan heard Gu Qingyou's begging to see her, so she ran to the gate to greet her in person. As soon as they met, she held her daughter's little hand and chatted non-stop.

"Then Zhang didn't bother you anymore, did he? Is the decoration of the store going well? Will it be reopened by the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Gu Qingyou looked at the servants on the left and right, bowed his head and answered them one by one, and then deliberately said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Thank you, Madam, for saving the girl from the siege that day, and the girl specially prepared some snacks from her hometown today. Madame laughs."

This is the girl making delicious food again, Xue Lan immediately laughed like a flower, and said repeatedly: "Oh? Then I have to taste it carefully."

When they entered the study room, the two of them finally didn't need to pretend anymore. Shuang Jiang put the package on the table and opened it, revealing the fist-sized duck eggs inside, and retreated out the door tactfully.

"Look, mom, these are sea duck eggs I bought in the south a few days ago. They have been marinated, and they are all quicksand. They are delicious!"

Although she is no longer a child, Gu Qingyou still likes to ask for credit in front of her mother like she did when she was a child.

The sapphire-colored eggshell fell off between her fingers, revealing the lightly milky egg white inside. This time she peeled it from the big head, and the yolk inside was glistening.

There was no outsider, and Xue Lan didn't have to carry it. She directly took the duck egg, broke off a little and put it in her mouth. She couldn't stop praising: "It's delicious! It tastes exactly the same as in the previous life! It's best to eat it empty-handed or make zongzi!"

"Ha, you thought of me!"

Gu Qingyou also twisted a bit and ate it, but the duck egg oil inside exploded instantly, and she subconsciously raised her hand and poured it into her mouth.

Xue Lan saw that the corners of her mouth were greasy, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you bring it for me or eat it yourself?"

"Hey, if you want to eat, I have plenty there!"

Gu Qingyou turned the tip of his tongue around, and the oil on his mouth disappeared, and he said proudly: "You don't know, I went to order thousands of sea duck eggs at that time, just to wait for the Dragon Boat Festival, so that I can make egg yolk rice dumplings, and then I will eat them again." Can make a lot of money."

In the end, what Xue Lan said gave her a basin of cold water: "This egg yolk dumpling is not a rare thing, you make so many at once, what if you can't sell it?"

Gu Qing was stunned: "Huh? There are egg yolk rice dumplings in Shangjing? I even asked Shuang Jiang specifically, and she said it was unheard of!"

What the hell is going on? …

Xue Lan gave her a white look: "If you ask, find someone more authoritative. Girl Shuang has only been in Beijing for a few days? Besides, she is from a poor family, and there are many good things she hasn't eaten. If you ask her to do a questionnaire, can the survey data be true? "

Seeing her daughter's instantly decadent face, Xue Lan couldn't bear to say: "But that being said, according to Xue's previous memory, the egg yolk dumplings here are not very well marinated. , the taste is naturally better.”

"You have to eat it to know~"

Gu Qingyou drooped his shoulders, sat at the table and looked at his sea duck eggs, and instantly lost his taste.

Xue Lan also sat down together, took another bite of the duck egg in her hand, and said with relief: "No matter how good the food is, marketing is also very important. You had such an official wife's client before, why don't you make some before the Dragon Boat Festival?" Do you want to visit the samples?"

"Well, I've already asked people to prepare the materials, and I'll start making them when I get back."

Gu Qingyou couldn't sit still anymore, she was about to get up and go back.

Xue Lan pulled her back, and said angrily, "I'm still so impatient, it's so hard to come here, I have to eat before leaving!"

Making money is important, but the opportunity to eat with mother and daughter is also very rare, Gu Qingyou no longer refuses, Xue Lan happily calls the girl, and sends a message to the kitchen to cook more dishes that the girl likes.

Counting the days, it has been a few months since I left the Duke's Mansion. Sitting in the dining room again, Gu Qingyou felt as if she had been a lifetime away.

"Mom, why don't we eat in the room?"

Xue Lan looked outside the door and patted her hand: "Hengye is leaving Beijing soon, let's have a meal together before we leave."

Gu Qingyou paused holding the teacup: "He's leaving Beijing? Going to the south?"

But she didn't hear the news that King Qin had returned?
Xue Lan shook her head, two vertical lines appeared between her eyebrows: "It's not the south, but the Northwest camp."

Now Gu Qingyou was even more puzzled: "What's wrong with the Northwest camp? Isn't there already a clan king sitting in the town?"

"The specific situation is not clearly stated in the edict, but it seems that the situation there should be more serious than that in the south."

Although Gu Qingyou doesn't have a good impression of the current emperor, and she doesn't want Song Hengye to work for him again, but if she doesn't have to go, she still hopes that Song Hengye can go to the south, so that King Qin can get back to the capital and participate in Changle in person. wedding.

But things backfired, and the emperor's decision vaguely made her feel uneasy.

"The emperor finally found an excuse to take away the military power of the second son. If it was not a last resort, he would definitely not give it back to him easily, unless the situation in the northwest has escaped the control of the imperial court."

As soon as Gu Qingyou finished speaking, Song Hengye had already strode in. Seeing her, he didn't look surprised, but nodded slightly as a signal.

"Miss Gu is right. There is indeed a big mess in the Northwest."

After meeting Xue Lan, Song Hengye sat down on Gu Qingyou's head very naturally, making her very uncomfortable.

Xue Lan's attention was attracted by his words: "But what news did you get?"

Song Hengye's face turned serious, and he nodded slowly, "There is an inner ghost in the Northwest camp. I need to investigate the specific situation to confirm."

Gu Qingyou and Xue Lan looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that if they asked again, it might involve confidentiality, they agreed not to ask any more.

The three of them were eating, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then Song Chengye appeared at the door of the dining room disheveled, with a messy bun, obviously just woke up and hadn't had time to wash up.

"Second brother wants to go back to the Northwest camp?!"
