Gu Yunxi was in the main room holding and playing with the children. After a while, Mrs. Qiu came to report that Wang Jiaozhen had also returned.

He Feng stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Yunxi, Ah Chuan, let's go eat first? You have been traveling all day and you must be hungry. Eat first, and then go back to take a shower and sleep."

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded, returned the child to the wet nurse, stood up and followed everyone to the dining room.

She really felt the flesh on her buttocks was rubbed and it was burning with pain. After eating and washing up, she would definitely apply some medicine.

In the dining room, Wang Jiaozhen tidied up briefly and then hurried over. When she saw Gu Yunxi, she couldn't help but smile. As she smiled, her eyes became red.

"Yunxi, you're back. It's good that you're back." Wang Jiaozhen's voice was a little choked.

Gu Yunxi hurried over to her, took her hand and sat down, smiling and comforting: "Sister Zhen, don't worry, I'm back, right?"

"Has anything happened in the embroidery shop recently that has caused you trouble?"

Gu Yunxi thought that Sister Zhen had suffered some injustice in the capital and had no place to tell it and no way to solve it, so she reacted like this when she saw him.

Wang Jiaozhen's eyes were red. She quickly pressed them with a handkerchief and shook her head, saying, "No, it's okay. I'm just happy to see you back."

Seeing Wang Jiaozhen say this, Gu Yunxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's eat first. I'll talk to you about the embroidery shop tomorrow."

The dishes were served one after another and everyone started to eat. Soon, the dining room was filled with laughter.

After dinner, Gu Yunxi was so tired that she didn't go to sit in the main room. Instead, she went back to her room, took a comfortable bath, lay down, and asked Lu Jianchuan to apply medicine for her.

Lu Jianchuan looked at his wife's originally fair and smooth skin, which had been rubbed red. He felt very distressed and his movements became much gentler.

After taking the medicine, Gu Yunxi was so tired that he fell asleep immediately.

Lu Jianchuan smiled, washed up, and then fell asleep in his arms around Gu Yunxi.

The next morning, Gu Yunxi woke up to the sound of the children babbling. Lu Jianchuan was no longer in bed. The three nurses were playing outside with the children. When they saw Gu Yunxi coming out, they hurriedly called out, "Morning, Madam!"

Gu Yunxi nodded slightly and said, "Nursingers, you have taken good care of the young masters. Not bad. I will ask Xiao Cui to reward you later."

"Oh, thank you so much, Young Madam. You are kind-hearted. You are the best master in the world!" The wet nurse kept saying nice things, which amused Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi smiled, went out to the dining room to have breakfast, and then came back to play with the children.

After a while, He Feng also came and sat down to play with the children and chat with Gu Yunxi about some family matters.

"Yunxi, Mom thinks that it's not a good thing to stay idle at home all the time. How about we open a bun shop in the capital?" He Feng asked tentatively.

Now that the family has a housekeeper and servants, she actually doesn't need to do anything. Most of the time, she either comes to see her grandchildren or chats with her parents. She is really bored.

She had originally planned to open a bun shop before coming to Beijing, but after looking at some shops, she was not very satisfied, so she decided not to continue.

But now, seeing that Yun Xi had also returned, her thoughts started to arise again. Once she had them, she kept thinking about them and felt uncomfortable if she didn't say them out loud.

Gu Yunxi glanced at He Feng and said with a smile, "Mom, aren't you afraid of hard work?"

If you run a bun shop, you have to get up at yinshi, prepare various bun fillings, make the buns before dawn, steam them, and put them in the shop to sell. If the buns sell quickly, it's easier, but if they sell slowly, you may not be able to close until lunch.

This is not an easy job and the money earned is just a small amount. Gu Yunxi feels that it is not worth it.

However, my mother-in-law likes to make buns the most. It is her hobby, so she can't say much, but she can't help but support her.

He Feng smiled and said, "Oh, why are you working so hard? We were so poor and had such a hard time before, but we got through it. We are very happy now!"

"Besides, I don't like anything except making buns. It's very fulfilling to ferment the flour and then shape them into buns one by one."

Seeing He Feng say this, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's fine as long as you have thought it through. If you want to open a bun shop, then go find a shop on the busy street of the vegetable market."

"How about this, I'm going to go to the embroidery shop later, and I'll look for a shop while I'm there. Don't worry, mother, I'll definitely find a good spot for you."

He Feng was overjoyed, feeling that talking to Yun Xi was indeed the most effective. She had talked to the child's father before, but the child's father went out to look for a shop several times and always said that he couldn't find a suitable one, so the matter was left unresolved.

Yunxi is different. She believes in Yunxi and will definitely do it as long as she makes a promise.

After lunch, Gu Yunxi took a short rest and went out with Xiao Cui, heading straight for the busy street of the vegetable market.

The downtown street was still as busy as before, with people coming and going, but at this time, many people were heading home.

After all, at noon, many people come to the vegetable market just to buy vegetables and other things, and they all go home to eat at this time.

Gu Yunxi walked along the busy street, observing the shops on the entire street. There were shops selling loquat paste, grain, oil, rice and flour, vegetables, pork, pens, ink, paper and inkstones; almost everything.

There are also several steamed bun shops and pancake shops, but it seems that their business is average.

Gu Yunxi instructed Xiao Cui to buy two buns from each family. Both the master and the servant tasted them and couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Cui, which one do you think tastes better, this or the buns made by Sister Ying in our house?" Gu Yunxi asked.

Without even thinking, Xiao Cui said, "Madam, this bun is far inferior to the ones we have in our house!"

"The buns in our house are made by Sister Ying, and they are especially delicious. The meat buns are fresh, tender and juicy. How can they be compared to the buns nowadays?"

The meat buns they were eating were indeed stuffed with meat, but there was too much lean meat, so they tasted a bit dry and had no juice.

Gu Yunxi felt the same way, but she smiled and said nothing. She continued to break the vegetable buns that Xiao Cui bought into two halves, gave half to Xiao Cui, and ate the other half herself.

Vegetable buns...Gu Yunxi resisted the urge to throw the vegetable buns away. These vegetable buns were just ordinary cabbage, with nothing else added.

Why are these nasty vegetable buns sold for three cents each? Six cents for meat buns is reasonable, but these vegetable buns are not worth the price!

Gu Yunxi broke all the other vegetable buns in half and found that the fillings inside were all almost the same, so he lost his appetite at all.

She knew that there was a reason why these bun shops were not doing good business!
