Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

However, because Mrs. Hou was not happy, Lin Shu did not dare to let Mrs. Hou and Xiao Yan know that the snacks and meals were all made by her. Otherwise, she would say that she did not have the fortune to be rich and would not enjoy the wealth of the Hou Mansion.

Of course, if Lin Shu hadn't been isolated in the Hou Mansion with no one to talk to, she wouldn't have found anything to do on her own.

Mo Zi handed Lin Shu three taels of silver.

"Madam, if my master likes your snacks and porridge, I will come again in the future."

Lin Shu smiled knowingly. They had begun to receive repeat customers in the past few days, so she believed that the man in front of her would come back again.

"Please take it, sir, and walk slowly!"

After sending the mouse away, Mrs. Shi leaned towards Lin Shu.

"Shu'er, I didn't expect that our shop's business is getting better and better. How did you come up with so many recipes for making snacks?"

"Auntie, I was bored when I was studying at home with my husband, so I studied with Mother Lin. The more I did it, the more experience I gained."

In her previous life, when Lin Shu held a banquet for Xiao Yan to receive her colleagues at the Xiao Mansion, she used the snacks she made herself. The other officials applauded and gave her confidence.

Originally, she wanted to open a dim sum shop in her last life, but she didn't have the confidence, and Mrs. Hou and Xiao Yan would definitely not agree.

Seeing Mrs. Sun and her maids, Mother Lin, Mother Xia and Boss Chen's daughter-in-law busy around the guests, Lin Shu felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

As far as Lin Shu's life is concerned, just like the name she gave her shop, it is developing in a better direction.

Because Xiao Yan was always thinking about Mouse's investigation of Lin Shu, he quickly ended his affairs and went to the restaurant Wang Xiaowu had booked.

"Has anyone come to the first private room on the second floor?" Wang Xiaowu asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant, wanting to make sure if the mouse had arrived in advance.

"Sir, no one has come since you made the reservation this morning. The private dining room is still reserved. Do you need to serve food now?"

Hearing that the mouse hadn't come yet, Wang Xiaowu glanced at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan nodded and walked towards the private room.

Wang Xiaowu took out the money.

"The food is ready to be served. My master has been having a bad stomach lately. Please warm up the wine a little more and the food should be served quickly."

"Okay! Don't worry, the food will be served soon."

Xiao Yan was sitting in the first private room on the second floor. This restaurant was at a corner. Standing by the window, you could see the streets on both sides and the people on the streets.

"Master, the mice may come later. I'll let the waiter serve the food first. You can eat something to satisfy your stomach first. The old lady just sent someone to ask if you will go back for dinner tonight?" Wang Xiaowu thought about Xiao Yan. Maybe I'll just deal with it outside, and I'll have dinner with Mrs. Hou when I go back in the evening.

Xiao Yan suddenly closed the folding fan he was shaking in his hand.

"Tell mother that if something happens today, I won't go back to accompany her."

In fact, Xiao Yan found out that there were too many discrepancies in the account books he received from Wang Jingxuan. He planned to patrol the store in the evening and go to the store with Wang Xiaowu to check the account books.

After a while, the mouse appeared on the street on the left, which was also the direction of Lin Shu's shop "Xuyang Pavilion".

"Xiao Wu, go and see Mouse. Why is he carrying so many things?" Xiao Yan was very curious and asked Mouse to find out the news. How could he come back with so many things? Besides, Mouse walked slowly with those things. Xiao Yan I really want to know Lin Shu's situation, even if it's just a second faster.

"Yes." After receiving Xiao Yan's instructions, Wang Xiaowu went down to pick up the mouse.

"I've seen you, please see if this is the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge you've been looking for?" Mouse gave the other things to Wang Xiaowu, and as soon as he entered the door, he opened the bamboo tube containing the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge.

Xiao Yan smelled the familiar scent of osmanthus and motioned for the mouse to be placed in front of him.

Xiao Yan looked at the price of the osmanthus and lotus seed porridge brought by Mouse, which was indeed similar to what he had eaten in his previous life, so he picked up a spoon and started drinking, and asked while drinking:

"Has the investigation been clear? When did Lin Shu and Su Yi get married?"

"Go back to my lord, my investigation has made it clear that Miss Lin and Mr. Su got married on October 28 last year. After they got married, they moved out of the Shi Mansion and lived in the small house left by Miss Lin's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Su Neighbors around the house said that they were extremely affectionate after they got married. Three months ago, Miss Lin bought a shop, which was renovated and officially opened a month ago. I bought this tube of osmanthus and lotus seed porridge from Miss Lin's shop."

At this time, Xiao Yan had already drank more than half of the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge, and he felt mixed emotions. What he wanted to have now was actually what he had thrown away.

Xiao Yan sat blankly for a while, his throat surged.

"She did it as expected." Xiao Yan said helplessly with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Sir, are you saying that the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge you drank before was made by Miss Lin?" Wang Xiaowu asked puzzledly.

Xiao Yan has been acting strange since he was hungover on May [-] last year. As soon as he woke up, he asked him to investigate Lin Shu, and also said that he wanted to have a midnight snack and drink osmanthus and lotus seed porridge.

As a result, almost a year passed before he found the osmanthus and lotus seed porridge that Xiao Yan wanted in Lin Shu. However, Wang Xiaowu had almost never left Xiao Yan. He did not remember when Xiao Yan met Lin Shu, nor did he know when he drank it. Guo Lin Shu made the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed porridge.

"I tasted it once by chance." Xiao Yan had eaten it in his previous life. He couldn't explain it to Wang Xiaowu, and he didn't need to explain too much to Wang Xiaowu.

"Where is her snack shop?" Xiao Yan asked looking at the mouse.

"Hui Ye, it's on the main street of the capital. The place that used to sell grain was robbed by the Sixth Prince's men because of the Sixth Prince's rebellion on New Year's Eve. So the original owner sold the shop to Lin at a low price of 500 taels. Miss Shu, and..." Mouse paused, not sure whether he needed to say this.

"And what? Whatever just tell the truth."

When Xiao Yan said this, Mouse started talking directly.

"Moreover, Miss Lin Shu and the Shi family sold a lot of grain when the food price reached its highest level two years ago. They sold it at the price of ten taels of silver per catty and made a lot of money the year before. No one knows when they stocked up the food. , this matter has nothing to do with Miss Lin Shu’s marriage to Mr. Su, so if you want to talk about it, please don’t talk about it.”

"Are you saying that Lin Shu once hoarded grain and sold it when the price of grain was the highest a year ago?" Xiao Yan wanted to confirm again.

"Hui Master, it's true. Miss Lin Shu and the Shi family, just like the prophet, bought the food store on the main street in the capital at the lowest price and converted it into a snack shop."

After being reminded by Mouse, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that when he was first reborn, Wang Xiaowu told him that Lin Shu did not go to the blind date banquet at the Protector's Palace. In addition, Lin Shu had stocked up on food and stocked the shop a few years ago. Xiao Yan had a thought in his heart. guess.

Xiao Yan guessed:

"Could it be..."
