"Normally, aren't the nobles in the palace supposed to hold banquets in their mansions on such occasions? Or attend banquets in the palace. It's quite rare to see someone strolling on this long street."
"Who knows? That's how the rich roll. We're not rich, so we can't understand..."
"You've got a point..."
Feng Yunshu was looking at the various street vendors on both sides of the long street. Her gaze fell on a sugar figurine vendor. The sugar figurines were so lifelike and vivid, truly fascinating.
"You two must be newlyweds, right? You seem so affectionate. How about getting a pair of sugar figurines to keep at home for the good omen of being together for life?"
Feng Yunshu glanced at Helan Yanting beside her, then looked at the old man making sugar figurines. "Uncle, can you make people out of sugar? Is he hard to make?"
The old man took a look at Helan Yanting, then at Feng Yunshu and quickly smiled. "Sure, sure. This gentleman and lady are truly a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
"Great. Please make a pair for us then, Uncle."
Feng Yunshu was in a great mood and said to the old man with a beaming smile.
The old man quickly nodded. "Sure thing!"
After saying that, the old man shifted his gaze to Ziyuan and Yan Qi who were walking behind. Since they were following their masters, and Helan Yanting and Feng Yunshu were standing very close, Ziyuan and Yan Qi were also standing relatively close.
"I wonder if these two behind would like a pair? They really look like a couple. Hehe, they're very well - matched..."
Hearing this, Ziyuan's face flushed bright red. She quickly shook her head and denied. "Uncle, you've got it wrong! He and I are not husband and wife. We're just..."
Yan Qi wasn't any better. His usually serious face blushed a little at this moment, looking a bit flustered.
"Uncle, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I'm a man, so it's no big deal. But if people misunderstand Miss Ziyuan's chastity, it won't be good."
The old man felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this. He was just about to say something to smooth things over when Feng Yunshu stepped forward and said with a faint smile.
"Uncle, that's a great idea. Please make a pair for them too. Anyway, it's just a little trinket. It's nice to keep at home."
"Miss, I—"
"Your Highness, this subordinate—"
Yan Qi and Ziyuan were quite in sync. They blushed and tried to stop in unison. Feng Yunshu, with a smile on her face, took Helan Yanting's hand and walked away first.
"Let's go and have a look elsewhere. We'll come back later."
Ziyuan looked at Feng Yunshu who left with a teasing look on her face. Then she subconsciously turned to look at Yan Qi beside her. Her face turned even redder. She stomped her foot and quickly turned around to follow.
Yan Qi stared at her blushing face, stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, she had already walked away.
For a moment, even Yan Qi's ears turned red.
Here, Feng Yunshu, the matchmaker who had secretly tied the red string, couldn't hide her smile and seemed to be in a great mood. Helan Yanting beside her couldn't help but tease her. "I didn't expect you, my lady, to have such a hobby?"
"Hmm? What hobby?"
"Playing matchmaker." Helan Yanting raised his eyebrows and smiled at her. "In the future, I might as well call you Matchmaker Feng."
"Come on, Your Highness. Don't call me that. I'm just concerned about our own people. As the saying goes, good things should stay within the family, right?"
"Ziyuan has grown up with me since childhood. She's not young anymore. Instead of worrying about some unknown boar 'arching' her one day, it's better to let Yan Qi, our 'domestic pig', have her. Your Highness, am I right?"
"Pfft—" Helan Yanting couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly, Yan Qi who was following behind sneezed loudly.
"My lady, with such a vivid metaphor, if you claim to be the number - one talented woman in the Dan Kingdom, I'm sure no one would dare to claim the second place."
"Your Highness, stop making fun of me!"
Before they knew it, the sun had moved to the top of their heads, which meant it was almost time for lunch. Feng Yunshu had been strolling with Helan Yanting for the whole morning and was really hungry.
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch. How about I treat you to something delicious?"
"Oh? What delicious food are you going to treat me to, my lady? Not going back to the mansion for lunch?"
"Let's not go back. We'll come out again tonight. Didn't you say it's more lively at night? Come with me. After lunch, we can go to the teahouse for tea and listen to the storytelling. When everyone lights up the lanterns at night, we can go guess riddles and enjoy the moon. Isn't that wonderful?"
Feng Yunshu tilted her head playfully, blinked at Helan Yanting. Helan Yanting smiled and gently pinched her cute nose.
"My lady is really capable. You've arranged the whole day's itinerary so well. In that case, I'll just follow you. You enjoy yourself, and I'll take care of paying the bills."
"Hehe, Your Highness, your words are really pleasant to hear. I'll take you out, and you bring the silver. Each of us does our part. Perfect!"
Since Feng Yunshu knew that Helan Yanting was really rich and hadn't lied to her, she had regarded him as one of her own. For one's own people, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. Helan Yanting's silver was, in a way, hers!
Soon, Feng Yunshu led Helan Yanting to the Five - Fragrance Pavilion for lunch.
Before they even reached the door, from afar, they could see a long queue in front of the Five - Fragrance Pavilion. Everyone was anxiously waiting for their turn to dine. The carriages in front of the door were parked haphazardly, looking very messy and somewhat obstructing the passers - by.
Goodness, what's going on?
Seeing this situation, Feng Yunshu quickly decided to enter through the back door.
Helan Yanting followed her through the back door without asking too many questions.
After entering, Feng Yunshu saw that the large - scale Five - Fragrance Pavilion, both upstairs and downstairs, was full of people. It seemed that extra tables and stools had been added. Why were there suddenly so many customers?
Feng Yunshu immediately found Shopkeeper Jia. Shopkeeper Jia was sitting in front of the counter, quickly clacking the abacus. The day's income was really enough for him to calculate.
But when he saw Feng Yunshu coming, Shopkeeper Jia immediately put down the abacus and stepped forward to greet her. "Boss, why do you have the time to come here?"
"Shopkeeper Jia, why are there suddenly so many customers in the store? And there are so many people queuing up."
As soon as this was mentioned, Shopkeeper Jia quickly smiled and explained. "Boss, our Five - Fragrance Pavilion is so popular thanks to your previous suggestion. As soon as we launched the medicinal diet in the store, many people came here after hearing about it. After trying our medicinal diet, they became regular customers."
"Oh? Has the medicinal diet been launched?"
Shopkeeper Jia nodded. "Yes. Young Master was busy making preparations for the medicinal diet. After everything was ready, Young Master started to promote our store's medicinal diet. His method was really good! On the first day of the launch of the medicinal diet, there was a 50% discount for the whole store. Many people came to experience it that day."
"Good. It seems that Xiaochangfang really has a talent for business. He could come up with this marketing method on his own. He's amazing. He's inherited more than half of my abilities, haha!"
Shopkeeper Jia quickly nodded in agreement. As he was speaking, he noticed Helan Yanting standing beside them. He was stunned for a moment. "Boss, who is this gentleman?"
"He's my husband. One of our own."
