Chapter 401 Falling in Love with the Enemy's Daughter
Following the emperor's order, Lin Xi immediately took action.
While waiting for the criminal to be arrested, Gu Jianchu stood up and personally helped Zhang Ran, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up. Even though Zhang Ran had washed her hands and drank a bowl of hot chicken soup, her hands were still ice-cold and without any warmth.
"Qiutou, I remember there are a few spare clothes in the carriage. Go get them and change them for Zhang Ran." Gu Jianchu turned around and instructed the palace maid behind him.
Qiutou looked at Gu Jianchu with an embarrassed look on her face. "The queen brought all the phoenix clothes with her this time. I'm afraid they won't be suitable for Miss Zhang. Sister Zhuxia and I brought a few extra clothes because we were afraid Miss Zhang Ran would dislike them. If Miss Zhang doesn't mind, I'll go get the clothes now."
"I don't mind." Zhang Ran shook her head instinctively.
She is a person who escaped death, so what is there to be disgusted about?
Hearing this, Qiutou immediately went downstairs to help get the clothes, and then took Zhang Ran to the next room to change her clothes.
Wrapped in a thick cotton coat and sitting next to the charcoal brazier, Zhang Ran's cold body felt a little warmer.
The owner of Zuixianju brought a few desserts with his waiter. "Your Majesty, this is milk skin and sweet osmanthus cake. If you want to try it, I will bring it to you in a while."
"it is good."
"The osmanthus sugar cake in Zuixianju is very delicious. I remember that I had the honor to eat it several times before entering the palace. The osmanthus fragrance is very strong. Zhang Ran, you try it first and eat it after the food is served." Gu Jianchu pushed the osmanthus sugar cake in front of Zhang Ran.
She is pregnant now, and Mr. Zhang's family will not let her go hungry, but she has been running all the way here and is already hungry.
Zhang Ran picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and began to eat it without hesitation.
"I didn't expect that the osmanthus sugar cake from our shop would be liked by the Empress. It is really an honor for our shop. If the Empress likes it, I will ask someone to make more and send it to the palace for the Empress someday." The owner of Zuixianju said, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
If the Queen likes it, the Emperor might really agree to send them to the palace. Then the business will come. The food that the Queen eats will definitely sell like hot cakes. At that time, he can even open a separate sweet-scented osmanthus cake shop.
Gu Jianchu smiled and said, "I'm afraid just the sweet-scented osmanthus cake isn't enough."
The boss didn't quite understand what Gu Jianchu meant.
Zhu Xia explained with a smile, "Boss Zhang's food is delicious. The Queen Mother and Princess Wan Ning often sent it to the palace, and the Queen Mother was very happy to eat it. So if Boss Zhang sends you food, don't just send the sweet osmanthus cake. You can also send some of the other dishes in the store to the Queen Mother."
Upon hearing this, Boss Zhang beamed with joy, unable to conceal his smile. "It's truly an honor for me to have my dishes pleasing the Empress and the Emperor. Since the Empress likes them, I'll arrange for them to be delivered to the palace someday."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just prepare it in advance. I'll send someone to get it. But I've never eaten this milk skin of yours before." Gu Jianchu picked it up and took a bite.
These things had been tested for poison before being delivered to Gu Jianchu. Even if they had not been tested for poison, the system would still remind her, so Gu Jianchu had no worries about eating them.
The boss explained honestly, "Naipizi is a new product that was recently developed. It's been very popular since it was launched. I don't know if the Empress likes it, so I took the initiative to send a few over."
"It tastes really good. Don't just stand there. Come and try it." Gu Jianchu said as he brought one of the dishes to Xie Ci'an. "Your Majesty, try it too. The food made by Zuixianju has just the right flavor."
They are not even inferior to the imperial chefs in the palace. No wonder their business is so booming.
The dishes alone are enough, not to mention the elegant decoration.
Xie Ci'an took the milk skin that Gu Jianchu handed to him and took a bite. What others say is delicious may not necessarily be really delicious, but what Shen Nanxi says is delicious is indeed delicious.
“It tastes really good.”
Dou Cong and the Minister of Justice who was standing next to him did not dare to move rashly even though they had the Empress's permission.
Yunhe couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he had to bring the food to the two of them before they dared to taste it.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang had not been brought in yet. Gu Jianchu was bored and chatted with Boss Zhang. "Boss Zhang has a good taste. The private room is decorated elegantly. No wonder it's so hard to get a room."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliments. I dare not take all the credit for this. I am just a rough man, how can I understand elegance? These decorations were all handled by my wife. Even the draft design of each private room was designed by my wife. She personally went to the market to buy these ornaments and decorations bit by bit. I just have a little spare money, so I helped out financially and physically. I can be a handyman behind the scenes. Although I know a little about food research, the cakes that Your Majesty eats are actually made by my wife."
"The current business of Zuixianju is actually all thanks to Madam, and it is Madam's hard work. Otherwise, a commoner like me would not understand what leisure and elegance are, let alone how to compose poems and couplets in the snow." As Boss Zhang said this, a happy smile appeared in his eyes.
Seeing Boss Zhang's proud look when he mentioned his wife, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but be moved.
[Sure enough, a man who can understand his wife and see her shining points will create a happy family atmosphere.]
[Furthermore, if it were another man, he would have long ago taken all the credit. After all, women are not allowed to be in the spotlight. However, Boss Zhang can see his wife's efforts and even put all the credit on her. This is truly rare.]
Unexpectedly, this Boss Zhang is a man who loves his wife dearly. Both Boss Zhang and his wife's family actually run restaurants, but they used to live on the same street and were rivals. The elders of the two families often fought over business, but Boss Zhang fell in love with the daughter of his father's sworn enemy. To be with his enemy's daughter, Boss Zhang put a lot of effort into pursuing his wife.
He created various chance encounters and gave his wife all kinds of jewelry. Knowing that his wife liked to eat cakes, he even traveled far away to learn how to make different cakes, just to win her over.
[God blesses those who work hard. After so much effort, Boss Zhang finally got his wife. However, just as his wife agreed, the parents on both sides became the most difficult problem and refused to agree.]
