A trace of shyness flashed across Du Yutong's face and fell into Jiang Shuyue's eyes.

Having lived two lives, she saw through her thoughts at a glance. This girl was in love with Ajin.

She made up her mind to take Du Yutong to visit Su's house more often in the future to create opportunities for the two of them.

"Lan'er's fried melon seeds smell so good. Sister Yue'er, is this another secret recipe you gave me?" Du Yutong asked, holding up the melon seeds in her hand.

"I have nothing to do, so I just messed around. If you like it, I'll give you the recipe."

"Oh, by the way, have you tried barbecue? How does it feel?"

Du Yutong nodded hurriedly, "It's very delicious, so fragrant. My father barbecues with wine. He said that barbecue with rice wine is amazing."

Qiuju took over the conversation, "Barbecue is delicious, but you can't be greedy. Miss said that you can eat it once in a while."

"Why?" Du Yutong looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue said, "Eating too much charcoal-grilled food can easily cause internal heat, and there are dried chilies in the barbecue seasoning. If you add rice wine, eating too much can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort."

As the few people were talking, Lan'er came in with a plate of cakes.

"Miss, Dean Lin is here, and Guard Gao is talking to him in the hall."

"The hall is so cold, quickly pass the message and ask Uncle Lin to come to the warm room." Jiang Shuyue stood up and tidied her dress.

Du Yutong also stood up, "Sister Yue'er, is it convenient for me to be here? If not, I will leave first."

"Silly girl, Uncle Lin is an elder I respect. What's inconvenient? Uncle Lin is a very good person. You will know when you see him later."

Lan'er went out to pass the message, and Qiuju turned around to prepare tea again.

After a while, a hearty smile was heard outside the door, and Jiang Shuyue greeted him.

"Uncle Lin, you haven't left the palace for a long time. What gust of wind blew you out?"

Lin Miaoshou strode in and said with a smile: "What? Miss Yue doesn't welcome an old man like me?"

"Look at what Uncle Lin said. Yue'er has been looking forward to your leaving the palace. Uncle Lin, don't belittle yourself. You are still young."

Jiang Shuyue welcomed Lin Miaoshou to sit down in front of the coffee table, and then looked at Zhang Du Yutong, "Sister Yutong, tell me?"

Du Yutong bowed across the coffee table, "The daughter of Du Zhong greets Lord Lin."

Lin Miaoshou then realized that there was another beautiful girl in the room.

He nodded in return, "It turns out that she is the daughter of the Dali Temple. I heard Yue'er mention her. Sit down and talk. There are no outsiders here. Don't be restrained."

Du Yutong raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite.

He was about 40 years old, with sharp features and a little vicissitudes in his eyes. He was neither fat nor thin, and his upright figure did not look like a man in his 40s.

"Hey! Yue girl, the incense in your room is good, the smell is pure, fragrant but not greasy."

Hearing Lin Miaoshou's words, Du Yutong's eyes lit up, "Lord Lin also knows about incense?"

"Well, my mother used to love spices. She lit incense at home from time to time. Over time, she learned a little bit."

Jiang Shuyue was also surprised that Lin Miaoshou knew about incense, and a light bulb flashed in her mind.

"Uncle Lin, are you interested in participating in the incense business?"

"Yue'er wants to deal in incense again?"

Jiang Shuyue smiled and looked at Du Yutong without saying a word, and Du Yutong nodded to her tacitly.

At this time, Qiuju brought tea over, and Jiang Shuyue brought the five-spice melon seeds to Lin Miaoshou, "Uncle Lin, try the five-spice melon seeds fried by Lan'er, let's chat while eating melon seeds."

Lin Miaoshou tasted a melon seed and praised: "Not bad, His Highness Changle will definitely like it."

"If Uncle Lin hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. When Uncle Lin returns to the palace, remember to bring a portion to the Cining Palace so that the Queen Mother and the two princesses can also taste it."

Several people sat down, Jiang Shuyue gave Du Yutong a look, and began to tell Lin Miaoshou about the plan for the incense shop.

Of course, Aunt Du was not mentioned in it.

"Uncle Lin, think about it. Isn't it too monotonous to only sell incense? If we sell moisturizer and women's products in one shop, wouldn't it be much easier?"

Lin Miaoshou doesn't know women's products. He said, "Whatever you say is reasonable, girl Yue. Uncle Lin believes in your business acumen."

"Sister Yue'er, won't the shop be too complicated and not good?" Du Yutong asked puzzledly.

Jiang Shuyue thought of the business philosophy of modern Watsons, where women's daily necessities are available.

As long as you walk in, there is nothing you can't buy, only things you can't think of.

She said affirmatively: "The varieties are classified and placed in different areas, so it won't be messy. Instead, it is convenient for girls and saves time for shopping."

In this era, women have to say hello to their mothers when they leave the house.

Not to mention those concubines. If they return home too late, the strict mistress will check them for a while.

Du Yutong understood the secret as soon as she thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yue'er's ideas are always different, let's try it."

Anyway, the shop belongs to my aunt, and there is no need to pay rent. Looking at Lin Miaoshou with a righteous face, Du Yutong couldn't help but think of my aunt.

After the discussion, Jiang Shuyue asked the two to have lunch in the mansion before leaving.

The kitchen specially made barbecue skewers and warmed a pot of rice wine.

After the meal, Lin Miaoshou said to Jiang Shuyue: "Yue girl wants to make incense, Uncle Lin fully supports it. I have a piece of good agarwood. Let Gao Mu and I go to Huanhua Street to get it."

Du Yutong's eyes widened, "Agarwood! That is the soul of incense making. With it, my aunt... I guess the incense she makes will be more valuable."

"Sister Yutong, wait, I'll let Gao Mu go with Uncle Lin to get it."

Jiang Shuyue turned to Qiu Ju and said, "Pack some more melon seeds for Uncle Lin to take. In addition to the Queen Mother and Princess, there is also Xu An in the palace."

Lin Miao stood up and took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Jiang Shuyue:

"This is a gift from the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If you want to start a business, this yellow and white thing will come in handy. I may not be free to leave the palace on the day Qiu Ju and Gao Mu get married. Please help me buy two things for that girl. Jewelry adds to the look.”

"Uncle Lin, no need, you are always saving up to get a wife and have children."

Seeing the bulging purse in front of her eyes, Jiang Shuyue did not reach out to take it.

"Uncle Lin," Qiu Ju said at the side, her eyes red with emotion.

Uncle Lin was alone, but he was like an old father, caring about everyone and taking care of everyone in every detail.

"You kid, won't you be laughed at if Uncle Lin marries a wife and has children at your age? Take it, I still have a salary, I can't spend it all on my own."

Jiang Shuyue knew that Uncle Lin would still have to stay with her here, so she simply took the heavy bag.

"It's better to obey Yue'er's orders than to be respectful. I'll use some to buy Qiu Ju's dowry, and the rest will be used as part of Uncle Lin's shareholding."

Lin Miaoshou showed a pleased smile, "That's right, don't tell Uncle Lin about the dividends, they are all saved year after year."

Seeing Lin Miaoshou and Qiu Ju leaving the Nuan Pavilion, Du Yutong asked with a smile: "Sister Yue'er, how can President Lin be as old as he said? You said that if he doesn't want to marry, my aunt..."

Jiang Shuyue smiled confidently: "Don't worry, believe me, there is a saying that if an old man is tempted, it is like an old house on fire, which cannot be extinguished at all."
