CH 52.2

Father Zhou walked back and forth in the study room with a straight face and his hands behind his back. Zhou Chengwang saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he was about to run away, but he was stopped when he opened the door. Father Zhou took a piece of silver and handed it to him, "You go to check if there are any steamed buns left at Wei's mansion, you can buy some."

Zhou Chengwang: "..."

He took the money in a complicated mood, and even more complicatedly, he ran to Wei's mansion again.

Until he told Jiang Lin that he wanted to buy steamed buns, Zhou Chengwang was still in a daze. His father, such a big official, would actually let him go to a friend's house to buy steamed buns.

If this matter spread, he would definitely be jaw dropping!

Jiang Lin was not surprised, the food made from the ingredients in the space tasted good, and it was normal to miss it after eating it.

The steamed buns were gone, as long as he made something, there was never leftover. Jiang Lin made a plate of egg pancakes quickly and asked Zhou Chengwang to take it back to his father. As for the money, Jiang Lin must take it.

Jiang Lin thought that if he could start a food business in the future, he would definitely earn a lot of money.

After Zhou Chengwang left, Du Yuling also ran over and gave a different news from Zhou Chengwang, "The second prince might attack you, so be careful these days."

Jiang Lin was surprised, "How did you know?"

Jiang Lin was not surprised that the second prince wanted to attack them, he was only curious how Du Yuling knew about it.

It was a coincidence that Du Yuling just heard about it.

Recently, the play “The Record of Killing Relatives in the Dong Mansion” was fully booked, and the opera house business was booming. Du Yuling was also looking over there everyday, fearing that something would happen.

But he was a young master, and no one asked him to do anything. He only glanced at it from time to time, so he was very free.

When he was free, he liked to gossip with the nearby residents or people who came to the opera house. He went early today, and there were not many people who came to the opera house. He wandered around the alleys near the opera house boredly, and listened to a corner.

Then he heard that someone was discussing the matter of setting fire to Wei's mansion to teach them a lesson, so Du Yuling hurriedly took a carriage to deliver the news to Jiang Lin.

After Jiang Lin listened thoughtfully, Du Yuling thought he didn't believe it, and he was a little anxious.

Jiang Lin shook his head and explained, "It's not that I don't believe it, but if the second prince really wants to deal with us and he will never let others know. I’m just wondering if he let you hear it on purpose."

This matter Du Yuling was not sure, but he still said: "No matter what, you still have to be careful, if it’s true, you will be in trouble."

Jiang Lin nodded, "Well, I know, and at the same time, thank you, you can stay for lunch."

"Are you going to make it yourself? "Du Yuling asked expectantly.

"Yes, I will," Jiang Lin felt more and more that he had a bright future as a cook.

Although he was not sure about the authenticity of Du Yuling's news, Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao re-arranged the mansion. Wei Yunzhao also went out and brought back several people. Most of these people were either lame or one-armed, and judging from the breath on their bodies, they were all from the army. Jiang Lin guessed that they should be Wei Yunzhao's old team.

The Wei family didn’t lack this little money to support them. They had been on the battlefield, their skills were better than ordinary people, and the Wei family lacked people who could look after the mansion, so Jiang Lin naturally had no objection. 

The second prince, who was watching the movement of the Wei family, naturally knew about some people’s entry to the Wei’s mansion. He smiled contemptuously, "Since they’re ready, then Bendian won’t be polite, Xiao Yang, arrange it and act as soon as possible."

"Yes," Xiao Yang replied sharply.

On the sixteenth birthday of Yin Feifei, the daughter of a high ranking official in Dali government office, she invited the three young girls from the Wei family to her banquet.

[大理 Dà lǐ: judicial officer; justice of the peace (old)]

Ever since the incident at Qinghe Wangfu last time, Wei Yunjia and Yin Feifei became close friends. The two little girls would visit each other's house after a while. Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao never cared about the little girls making friends, it was always Wei Yunjia herself who entertained people.

The more times Yin Feifei came, the more she became acquainted with the two sisters Wei Yunwan and Wei Yunxue, so she invited all the three sisters to her birthday banquet.

Each of the three sisters brought a maid, and Jiang Lin also arranged for two guards, and told them to keep an eye on the three sisters, and never allowed anything that happened in Qinghe County Wangfu last time to happen again.

Although the Yin family wouldn’t target the three little girls, it was difficult for others to say, there was always nothing wrong with being more careful.

After sending the three little girls into the carriage, Jiang Lin went back to look for Wei Yunzhao. Wei Yunzhao was sorting out Jiang Lin's farming methods in the study, and he was going to write it into a book and submit it. Wei Yunzhao said that the end of the year was coming and as a secretary of Tuntian department he had to do something.

Jiang Lin leaned over on his back and asked, "Autumn harvest is coming soon, so you have to go to the Ministry of Industry to get busy?"

As a fifth-rank official, there were still people working under him, but Wei Yunzhao was official in name only, so he was hardly taken seriously. He only needed to do his job well in the Ministry of Industry after the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, not only Wei Yunzhao had to be busy, Jiang Lin also remembered another thing, "Wei An is also going to be executed."

Wei Yunzhao was stunned when he heard the name, because he hadn't heard this name for a long time, he almost couldn't remember.
