The Duke of Qi State.

Aunt Zhang took a sip of tea casually and raised her eyelids slightly, "Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Zhang Huai bowed, "It's been several months, and my father has not heard from me. I'm really worried. Auntie, I'll go and go back quickly, and it won't take long."

He had long thought of going back, not only because he was worried about his father, but also because he didn't have much money on him. If his father was really gone, he would have to sell all his property and not be cheaper for those guys.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of going back?"

"Gu Yi and Song Wanyue are in the capital now, and no one will stare at me. I will go and go back quickly, and it should not attract anyone's attention."

"Gu Yi is in the middle of the capital, and his subordinates are still in Qingping County. Are you sure that you can come back safely this time?"

"That's why I want my aunt to lend me some people."

Aunt Zhang put the teacup on the table, "You think too simple. The Gu family has been entrenched in Qingping County for many years and has a deep foundation. Even if I lend you many people, it will be useless to get to them. If you still recognize me as my aunt, just listen to me. Qingping County will not go back. After you enter the Ministry of Revenue, let the Duke find an opportunity to send you there with justification."

Hearing the unwillingness in her words, Zhang Huai did not dare to disobey her, and immediately said, "My nephew will follow my aunt."

"The Duke of the State is already in charge. You will be able to go to the Ministry of Revenue in a short time. You can leave the mansion and walk around appropriately during these days. Remember to bring more people."

"yes."

...

The next morning, the people from the Ministry of Personnel came to the Song family. In addition to them, there were people from the Ministry of War to escort them to ensure the safety of Song Si along the way.

Xu, Meng and Xiao Yao all came to see him off.

After they left, Meng family wanted Song Wanyue and Gu Yi to follow him to Xu's mansion.

"Let's go there tonight. I have to discuss the pastry shop with Sister Xiao."

If Song Wanyue opened this pastry shop herself, Meng would have stopped her. When she married into the capital, her parents bought more than a dozen shops in Wanshi. She would just give her a few, but this was opened by her and Xiao Yao. Meng could not stop her. "Don't be too tired, I'll let someone make delicious food for you tonight."

Song Wanyue responded with a smile and sent them away. After sending them away, she and Xiao Yao entered the shop in front. These days, the people sent by Xiao Yao have already decorated the shop and built all the things needed to be used and sent them over. Everything is ready and just waiting for the opening.

"Yue'er, when will your friend come?"

Xiao Yao couldn't wait. This was her first time doing business and she was very excited.

"Maybe not coming."

Since she decided to open a pastry shop, she asked someone to send a letter to Huang Gao and his wife. They have not arrived yet, so they probably won't come.

"That……"

"Sister Xiao finds a few skillful people, and I will teach you personally..."

“Well…”

A carriage stopped in front of the door, and the couple with yellow cakes on their backs got off the carriage. They saw Song Wanyue standing in the store, and they rushed over quickly.

"I'm sorry, Miss Song, we're late."

The moment she saw them, Song Wanyue smiled, "It's not too late, I thought you and the other two were not here."

"My son really won't let us couple come. We persuaded him so much that he agreed. Fortunately, he didn't delay your affairs."

"You two go and rest first, wait for tomorrow..."

"No need to wait for tomorrow. We came all the way by carriage. We are not tired, we can work by washing the handle."

The carriage was sent by Song Wanyue, with thick mattresses inside. The two of them could lie down and rest when they were tired of sitting.

Song Wanyue did not be polite to them, and called Xiao Si to lead them to put down the package in the house they prepared, and turned to ask Xiao Yao, "Sister Xiao, have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"

"It's ready long ago."

Xiao Yao ordered the servants to drive the carriage back to the house to get it, and then put it on the chopping board one by one.

Song Wanyue put on an apron, "I will teach you my birthday cake today, I will eat it on my birthday."

Xiao Yao stood aside curiously, watching her make cake embryos and whipped cream until she made a cake that she had never seen before.

Huangcao and his wife were also stunned. They thought Xue Meiniang and Bingsie Mooncake were the best pastries they had ever seen, but they didn't expect that the birthday cake would make them even more eye-opener.

"This can also be made of multiple layers, or you can write the words they want according to the needs of the guests, and you can also make various fruits."

Xiao Yao couldn't take a look at it. She could say that she had eaten all the famous pastries in the capital, but she had never eaten this one before.

"Me, can I try it?"

Song Wanyue smiled and picked up a knife made of bamboo and cut the cake into dozens of pieces. She took a plate and put a piece on it and handed it to her. Xiao Yao didn't care about the rules and etiquette. She dug a piece with a spoon and put it in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up. This was better than any kind of cake she ate. Once it was sold, it would definitely cause a sensation.

I couldn't wait to ask, "Yue'er, when will we open?"

"Five days later, everyone in the store will get started."

Xiao Yao nodded and couldn't help but take a few more bites.

Huang Gao and his wife also took a plate and made a piece of it and ate it, but they didn't even have time to praise it.

Song Wanyue smiled and put the largest piece she had cut on the plate. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Si standing at the door and said, "Take these down and share them for everyone."

Xiao Simei responded with a smile. After Song Wanyue went out, he stepped in, first put a piece of the plate aside, then took it out, and called the servant and the servants from the Duke Dingguo's mansion to come and eat.

Song Wanyue brought the cake into Gu Yi's house and placed it in front of him, "the biggest piece."

Gu Yi smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He had already smelled the fragrance, but because Xiao Yao didn't go out here, he dug a piece and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious."

Song Wanyue held her cheek and watched him finish eating. Seeing that there was cream on his mouth, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him without thinking. "I'm going out to teach them. If you get tired of staying in the house, go to the house over there."

Gu Yi stared at her blankly.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yi licked his lips, gave a little leftover cake with the tip of his tongue, and pointed it at him, "And."

Song Wanyue realized it and pressed the veil on his face, got up and walked out.

Gu Yi took down the handkerchief and grinned in the direction of the door. His little girl was about to grow up, but...

The corners of his mouth slowly drooped.

Song Wanyue taught for an afternoon. Huang Gao and his wife and Xiao Yao had basically learned the people they brought. After getting dark, she sent Xiao Yao away, she carried the cake with Gu Yi and returned to the Xu Mansion.
