"I won't hide it from you. I like good-looking people. To put it bluntly, I like good-looking people." Li Mumu said, "My husband is indeed good-looking. When I saw him, I was a little moved. But I was worried because I was a peasant girl at that time and my family was not close to me. And he was already a general. Although he was only a sixth-rank general, he was young and had a bright future."
"In the future, I will always meet noble ladies. What if she feels that I am not worthy of her and wants to marry someone else? I thought so, so I didn't get close to him and always maintained a conservative attitude towards him."
"It was his little actions that gradually made me trust him and willing to open my heart. But it was not easy for me to open my heart. When it comes to feelings, my heart is even smaller than a sharp one."
"So, I told him at the beginning that if he falls in love with someone else and thinks I'm not good enough, he can just tell me and I'll make room for them. I don't need a husband who is not devoted to me. Either it's just me or it's not me."
"No matter who he is or what the situation is, as long as he has a crush on someone else, I will divorce him."
Li Zhiyin was also surprised at Li Mumu's determination and how she would not tolerate any sand in her eyes.
"However, you are different from me. You and the prince were married by a saint, so how can you divorce?" Li Mumu said, "Besides, the prince's identity... I'm afraid it's inevitable in the future..."
"So, just think about what you want to do. If you are as intolerant as I am, then at worst, if the prince really takes someone in, you can just treat him as your partner and comrade."
"Treat him as a colleague at work and a comrade on the battlefield. You can help him in public, but don't let him want everything for personal gain." Li Mumu said.
"That's what I thought."
As they talked, they unknowingly arrived at the gate of General Li's residence. Li Mumu got out of the car and said goodbye to Li Zhiyin. Just as she was about to get in the car, she heard someone calling her, "Madam."
Li Mumu turned her head and saw Gu Shangqing standing at the stairs of General Li's mansion with his back to the sun.
Li Mumu looked over towards the sunlight. In the backlight, Gu Shangqing's face was a little unclear, slightly hazy under the strong sunlight, as if a thin, inconspicuous layer of golden gauze covered his face.
Li Mumu was a little dazed, until she got closer and saw his face clearly, she felt relieved.
"husband
Jun, why are you here? "Li Mumu was very happy to meet Gu Shangqing in advance today.
"I came to the General's Mansion today to discuss some matters. I remember you said you wanted to go to Wangyou for a rest and gathering with Miss Li and the others. When I came out, I happened to see our carriage coming this way, so I waited here." Gu Shangqing said.
"Do you want to go home now or go to the military camp?" Li Mumu asked.
"I will not be returning to the barracks today. I will go home with you." Gu Shangqing helped Li Mumu onto the carriage and sat in it himself. Then he said to Li Mumu, "Starting next month, I will be transferred to the Western Suburbs Camp to take charge."
"It seems that the saint is going to use you." Li Mumu said.
Gu Shangqing nodded, thinking that this risk was worth taking.
"Where are Zhu Yaoming and Huang Kexiao? They are still staying in the eastern suburbs, Haihui Temple with you." Li Mumu said.
Gu Shangqing laughed, "You thought of them first?"
"There's nothing we can do. They go home with you every time you take a day off, like two pendants. I was wondering, if they didn't go to the Western Suburbs Camp with you, would they still be able to come with you when you take a day off in the future?"
"What a coincidence! They said today that they will come directly to our house on their days off instead of going to the western suburbs camp to meet me. The east and the west are too far apart." Gu Shangqing said. Zhu Yaoming and Huang Kexiao are no longer polite to the Gu family and regard themselves as half-sons of the Gu family.
Originally, I only felt comfortable going to Gu's house if I followed Gu Shangqing.
Now, Gu Shangqing went to the western suburbs camp, and the other two stayed in the eastern suburbs camp. The east and west were really far apart.
The two of them no longer had to follow Gu Shangqing to go to the Gu family.
The carriage stopped in front of the Gu family's door. Gu Shangqing got off first and helped Li Mumu get off.
As soon as the two entered the Gu family's gate, they saw Eunuch Hu pacing back and forth anxiously at the door.
Yao Xingcai was still persuading him, "Xiao Hu, don't worry. Madam usually doesn't spend a long time with friends. She will be back in an hour or two. You can't let Madam be gone for only half an hour, right?"
"Hey! I know, this is not... this is just something I can't help myself?" Eunuch Hu sighed.
"Eunuch Hu?" Li Mumu called out.
When Eunuch Hu heard Li Mumu's voice, he paused in excitement and ran over quickly, "Hey, County Lady,
You are back! "
"Eunuch Hu, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?" Li Mumu asked.
"You came back yesterday, why is the fried chicken shop not open today?" asked Eunuch Hu.
Li Mumu paused for a moment and thought to himself that he didn't expect the saint to be so anxious.
"I haven't been back for a long time. This time when I reopen, I have to give customers some surprises. Otherwise, if I open quietly, I'm afraid the popularity will not be as good as before." Li Mumu said, "So I plan to launch a few new products, and I will put them on sale as soon as I open the store the day after tomorrow."
"New product?" Eunuch Hu's eyes lit up immediately. "I wonder... I wonder if you have any ready-made products now? If it's not too much trouble, can I... can I..."
Eunuch Hu was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Li Mumu is the wife of a general, a fourth-rank official, and the Lady of Jianing County. He is in her house now and wants her to cook for him. It is really ignorant of the rules.
But there are new products. If I can bring them back for the Saint to try...
"Eunuch Hu wants to bring some new products back for the Saint to try?" Li Mumu said with a smile.
"If possible..." Eunuch Hu rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with serving food to a saint." Li Mumu said, "I'm preparing some new dishes, including taro sweet potato balls, potato cakes, and taro pie. Are they okay?"
The things that saints avoid eating cannot be told to outsiders.
Li Mumu couldn't ask directly, so she just asked Eunuch Hu if it was okay.
"What are these? Taro and sweet potato balls, are they balls made of taro and sweet potato? I know about French fries, but hash browns are French fries flattened into cakes? Taro pie, I really can't think of one." Eunuch Hu shook his head.
Li Mumu explained: "Taro sweet potato balls are made by rolling sweet potato puree into balls, coating them with taro puree, and then coating them with flour and deep-frying them. Potato cakes are made by pressing mashed potatoes into round cakes and deep-frying them. For taro pie, add sugar and oil to taro puree, wrap it in dough, and then deep-fry it."
The saints have never presented any inedible food.
Eunuch Hu said, "If it is possible, can you give me a portion of each, and I will take it back to the palace for the Saint to taste?"
"These haven't been sold out yet, and no one else has eaten them. If the saint knew, he would definitely be happy." Eunuch Hu couldn't help but grin.
