Chapter 1002: He Doesn't Seem Like Someone Short on Mon
mething else going on here."Jinxiu, your mother has been there before, I know why you're angry with AYu.""You say it's because A-yu hasn't returned after three years, but what you really care about is...Zongyu did not answer, only patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and then changed the subject.
"This year, there are only three spots for generals. I've already applied to the Emperor to transfer you to my command. You can start thinking now about what official position you want."
Zhao Yun was delighted at first, but then he reacted.
"General, don't worry about the military officer positions for now. These spots on the left and right won't disappear."
"Must you go through with this memory recovery"
"Does Jinshu's sister-in-law know your plans"
Zhao Yun brought up the topic again, and Zong Yu immediately stomped away. Zong Yu suddenly slammed on the brakes, Zhao Yun ran past him and then had to run back.
Knowing that as soon as you mention Sister Jinxiu, Brother Yu will react, looking at his expression, sister probably doesn't know his intentions yet.
Zhuge Yun was right. Zong Yu looked at him with a solemn expression and said very seriously.
"About this matter, you absolutely must not mention it to her."
Not a word must be leaked until memory returns.
Zhao Yun let out a surprised exclamation. His face was full of astonishment.
He originally intended to bring out his sister-in-law, Jinxiu, as a savior. Now it seems that won't work.
Just as he was stunned, Zong Yu had already walked far away. When Zhao Yun chased him out, there was no sign of Zong Yu outside the palace.
Zhuge Yun stood on the spot, torn between two thoughts. On one hand, he didn't dare disobey Zong Yu's words; after all, Zong Yu was his superior.
On the other hand, he was also worried about Brother Yu's health. The only one who could convince him to change his mind now was Sister Jinxiu, but it was said that the two were recently on the verge of divorce. What should be done in this situation
He scratched his head hard, the events after returning to Beijing were indeed more complicated than anything he'd encountered on the battlefield.
Zong Yu went straight to the Imperial Hospital after leaving the palace. Fang Jinshu knew that Zong Yu had gone to the palace to attend the celebratory banquet, thinking that he would definitely not be back for a while. In the afternoon, she packed up and still went to the wine shop.
By the way, tell the restaurant to send some more dishes. Business is so good now that they've just reopened, the kitchen must not have enough food.
She was right about the situation at the tavern, but she underestimated the popularity of her new dishes. The kitchen wasn't just running out of ingredients; by midday, all the vegetarian dishes were sold out.
When Fang Jinshi arrived, Wu Mama was just about to send someone back to Jinshi Mountain Villa to order more dishes. She originally thought that the restaurant would still focus on North Xinjiang's signature grilled meat, and even if vegetarian dishes were better than before, she probably wouldn't buy many.
So when serving the dishes, I was still a bit conservative with the quantity. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Although the signature barbecue sold well, customers' demand for fruit drinks and vegetarian options was surprisingly no less than the barbecue.
Moreover, the staff at the restaurant are insufficient. After being busy, they need to recruit more people, especially in the kitchen.
"Auntie Wu What's the rush"
Fang Jinshu just walked in and bumped into Wu Niang.
"Oh my, who is this blind idiot! I'm so busy and you bump into me!"
Wu Niang spoke with a unique accent, and it was particularly funny when she called herself "mother."
Fang Jinshi saw that she was busy and didn't take Wu Niang's unreasonable words to heart.
"It was me."
Wu Niang wasn't yet familiar with the new master's voice. She hadn't recognized it just now. Earlier, someone she sent to the villa returned saying that the master probably wouldn't be coming today. So Wu Niang had always thought Fang Jinxiu wouldn't be at the tavern today.
"Master, how did you come here"
Wu Niang would be surprised by her appearance, but Jinxiu wouldn't be.
I was just about to send someone to Jinxiu Mountain Villa to get more dishes, the back kitchen is completely out of food. Customers at the front are already clamoring for it.
Although Wu Niang was worried about the lack of ingredients in the kitchen, she was still very happy that the restaurant's reopening had been so successful. Therefore, even though she was troubled, her eyes also reflected joy and excitement.
It's a happy worry.
No need to go.
Fang Jinshi beckoned to Xiaoyue behind her, and Xiaoyue immediately had someone bring over the prepared dishes.
"I heard that the restaurant's business has been even better since it reopened. I guess the kitchen might not be able to keep up with the orders, so I brought three truckloads of fruits and vegetables when I came."
Upon seeing these ingredients, Wu Niang was so overjoyed that she didn't know what to say. She could only repeatedly give Fang Jinxiu a thumbs up.
The young master's decision to transfer the tavern to Fang Jinshi was truly wise. This new mistress is not only intelligent but also very skilled at managing a tavern, definitely not an ordinary woman.
"That's wonderful, master. You really thought of everything."
"Hurry, you all quickly send the dishes to the kitchen!"
Wu Niang hurriedly beckoned a few helpers to unload the three carts of vegetables, and a large stone in her heart finally fell.
With these three cars of dishes, we should be fine until closing time.
It's not yet mealtime, but the restaurant is bustling with people.
There are many people who can't bear to leave even after finishing their meal.
In just a morning, the fruit drinks at Yu Bar Restaurant became the talk of the capital. Many food enthusiasts came to try them out after hearing about their fame.
These people don't eat meat, they just drink to pass the time.
When passing time, it's inevitable to discuss some fresh news from the capital. Where there are many people, there is much gossip, this is an unchanging truth throughout history.
After Fang Jinxiu finished serving the food, she prepared to roll up her sleeves and help out. Unexpectedly, she heard people at the next table discussing Zong Yu.
“I heard that the new war god general's reward has been bestowed, and our capital city now has one more martial marquis. The emperor has appointed this Zong General as the Marquis of Wuding.”
He was also showered with countless gold and silver, exotic treasures, and even granted the title of Marquis of Wuding, with a grand estate located on Zhengyang Avenue in the eastern part of the city.
Those who lived there were all high-ranking individuals, either officials or members of prominent families.
"Wow, this general is truly amazing! I heard he came from the countryside. He's really making us common people proud!"
Most people who mentioned this new general who surrounded a vast territory in Xizhou praised him, occasionally there were some who liked to say sour words. Fang Jinshuu heard these words and couldn't help but feel happy for Zongyu's reputation.
This is what he wanted, after all. He's more than achieved the purpose of joining the army in the first place.
Fame and fortune, all achieved in a single day.
Now the two people's identities have been reversed. Zong Yu has become a high-ranking marquis, and his family status has undergone a qualitative leap.
And she was just an ordinary citizen.
Fang Jinshi had never really thought about the difference in status before. She didn't know that one day, the gap between her and A Yu's statuses would become so wide.
Before, she didn't care much about these things because those high-ranking individuals weren't closely related to her, and she hadn't thought about gaining anything from them.
Even if she had some, she could barter with others using her own abilities.
Just like when she was with her uncle and nephew, Fu Shangyuan and Fu Ming.
But their statuses were different, she had almost nothing to offer him in exchange. Now that he was a Marquis, she...
Fang Jinxiu retracted her gaze and turned to the kitchen. Without a word, she rolled up her sleeves and started helping with the vegetables, hoping to distract herself from the uncontrollable thoughts swirling in her mind by working harder.
How many men in the world can resist the temptation of fame and fortune Not to mention that this is Zongyu's own chosen path.
Is Zong Yu perhaps enduring the same experiences in the palace as his father, Zong Pingchuan, did
After all, a marquis's status is far more noble than that of a jinshi. Surely many powerful figures would be eager to marry their daughters into his household.
Fang Jinshu's mind immediately conjured up the image of Zong Yu surrounded by a group of noblewomen, his hand trembling. With too much force, he snapped the vegetable in half.
Her aunt-in-law, who was walking and picking vegetables with her, was startled. She carefully rescued this precious vegetable from Fang Jinshu's hands.
