The grapes on the grape trellis were already ripe. Green-Yu was holding the sticky rods that caught cicadas to chase the birds who came to steal food, and from time to time they picked the grapes from the tree heads one by one.

She stood on the corridor with her feet hooked. Ji Chen couldn't help laughing when he passed by: "Luyi, why not let's do it? I see you raised it like this and you are afraid that you will fall."

When Lu Yi heard this, she stopped and turned around and handed the sticky rod to Shuihe next to her. She bent down and picked up the straw basket on the corridor, and her eyes were bent with a smile: "Brother Ji, don't underestimate people. When I was picking tea seeds on the tea mountain with the girl, I was afraid you were still studying in the study. Don't worry, I can't fall anyway!"

Shuihe also covered her mouth and smiled: "No, I have picked it back and forth and back. Sister Green is very flexible."

Ji Chen smiled and shook his head. Seeing Zhu Yuan sitting under the eaves and talking to Su Fu, he passed Green Yi and Shui He to the stairs.

Su Fu saw him at a glance, and stood up with a smile and holding the basket: "Ji Chen is back? Come quickly, Green clothes picked a lot of grapes, and the whole house was divided, but there were still a lot left. The weather was so hot that if you didn't put it into the well water, it would break soon. Yuan Yuan thought of a way to make some grape ice bowls, come and taste it."

She said as she said that Shui Xing had already come out with a jade bowl and brought it to him with a smile.

Ji Chen hurriedly reached out to take it. He had eaten the ice bowl, but what he had eaten before was broken, and the ice was poured on it and poured it on it. He had never seen the ice turn purple like the bowl he held in his hand.

But he had seen Zhu Yuan's cooking skills. Since it was made by Zhu Yuan, although he had never tried it, he did not hesitate at all. He reached out to scoop a bite and tasted it, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

The ice is filled with the sweet taste of grapes, sour and sweet. As soon as the summer heat is in its mouth, it will disappear and the whole body will cool down.

He swallowed it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Miss, can this ice bowl be taken to the store?"

Su Fu smiled, put the basket in his hand aside, and asked him: "Do you think it's feasible?"

After thinking about it seriously, Ji Chen nodded: "Although it has been August now and it is almost Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn tiger is still there for a while. At this time, many people are still sweating profusely, especially those officials such as the Five City Military Office and Shuntian Prefecture Office. They always have to patrol the streets and do business outside. If we prepare such ice bowls in our store, they will definitely be very popular."

Luyi was carrying the basket and preparing to follow Su Fu's instructions before, and handed it to Shuchen and let Shuchen deliver it to the Fan family together with the gifts he had prepared before. He smiled when he heard this: "Then we are not enough grapes!"

Although I always yelled that there were a lot of grapes, I had to make ice bowls and sell them. After a few times, I lost them.

Su Fu couldn't help but angrily glanced at her: "Can the ice bowls in the store really rely on the little grapes at home? Of course, I have to buy them outside!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuan handed over the list of recorded practices to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen reached out to take it, then put it away, looked at Zhu Yuan and whispered: "When will the girl set off?"

As soon as he talked about this, Green Clothes outside shouted: "Girl, Madam, Lord Wei is here!"

Wei Minzhai?

Su Fu stood up quickly.

Ji Chen was also a little surprised, stopped talking and stood aside. Sure enough, he saw Wei Minzhai and Fang Liang come in and hurriedly greet him and say hello.

Wei Minzhai nodded, and Fang Liang pulled Ji Chen to the side and took advantage of this time to marvel at him: "Ji Chen, I heard that you girls are going to go far?"

This was what Wei Minzhai said after explaining the matter from the palace. Fang Liang had never heard of any movement before, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The Marquis of his own is really a person who doesn’t know how to deal with girls. He is obviously very good to Miss Zhu, but he doesn’t show it. He is really anxious.

There is no way. He has been with the Marquis for so long, and he was lifted off the battlefield by the Marquis. Of course, he had to help the Marquis think about everything. It took him so much time to have a girl he liked. How could he let him go like this?

Ji Chen and Fang Liang are indeed familiar with each other, because Fang Liang often visits Fengle Building, and after a long time, he doesn’t even have to settle the accounts in stock, just keep the accounts.

However, he was unwilling to tell people casually about Zhu Yuan, so he coughed and stammered and said perfunctorily: "I don't know much about this. I have to ask the girl about it..."

On the other side, Su Fu had already walked away to make tea in advance. Wei Minzhai followed Zhu Yuan into the flower hall and divided the guests and hosts. Then he said, "I heard that you are about to leave the day after tomorrow, so I will come here to practice it for you first, I wish you a good journey and a safe return."

Zhu Yuan thanked him, and saw him wearing a flying fish suit, he asked, "Did you just come from the yamen?"

"Come out of the palace." Wei Minzhai said concisely: "By the way, when you mention this, there is one thing you want to tell you that the British Duke is fine."

The smile on Zhu Yuan's face faded slightly.

She already knew about this: "Yes, the Duke of the State won a great victory. In this way, the previous attacks on him in the court were naturally proved to be wronged."

Jiang is still so old that the British Duke was able to win the battle under internal and external troubles, and even captured the enemy general alive and took him back to the capital for trial. The fact of leading troops is extraordinary.

No wonder the British Duke's Mansion can stand for so many years. Even when he stood by Concubine Sheng, he could still be glorious until now while offending the Empress Dowager.

Wei Minzhai pointed his finger on the tea table. Seeing that Zhu Yuan's reaction was still light, he looked at her and asked her, "What are your plans in the future?" After pausing, he coughed: "Zhang Qing capsized in the gutter this time. You used He Muzhai to let Zhang Qing take action against the Xu family. Now the Xu family has used He Muzhai to expose the relationship between Zhang Qing and Eunuch Tang to others, which has caused the emperor to be suspicious of the relationship between Zhang Qing and Eunuch Tang. Now the British Duke has won another battle, and the problem of the Duke's Mansion is solved. On the contrary, you, although Zhang Qing can't guess that you are designing behind this, the Xu family can definitely guess that you have made a big calculation this time. Have you thought about it? When the Duke comes back, I'm afraid you will have to cause trouble for you."

The British Duke has been in a prosperous life, but has not been conspired by the juniors for so many years to suffer this loss. This time, he was trapped by Zhu Yuan and almost wanted to be like the Sheng family and Wu family in front of him. How could they be willing to do so?

I'm afraid they'll have the heart to swallow Zhu Yuan alive.
