But she couldn't believe that they would participate in the party struggle.
"Maybe they are forced too." Shen Feng Ming saw her doubts and explained.
Nowadays, there was a fierce party struggle in the court. It wasn't that easy for the two of them to gain a foothold.
From the seven years in the dream, Jiang Yun Zhu knew that there were constant overt and covert struggles in the court. Even Shen Feng Ming couldn't avoid it.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became worried about Shen Feng Ming. The story of Changshi Village's extermination had been changed. There should be no top scholar case this time, but he was in many dangers in the court.
"Don't worry about me, I have my plans." Shen Feng Ming hugged her tightly and said. How could he not leave a way out for himself, his subordinates, and his family after being in the court for so many years? Besides, he had her now. For her sake, he won't let anything happen to him.
He didn't like power, but he had things to do and people to protect. That was his responsibility.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Yun Zhu felt inexplicably at ease.
Shen Feng Ming didn't want to talk about this anymore. He lowered his head and looked at the booklet in her hand, "What is this?"
"Mother just gave it to me and told me to study it carefully with you." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.
"Oh?" Shen Feng Ming said, opening the booklet.
The two looked at the book together. When they clearly saw what was on it, Jiang Yun Zhu's face turned red. This book...she thought it was some kind of book. Alright, it was a book, but it was the kind of book with pictures.
Princess Danyang was truly looking forward to her grandson. This booklet contains various methods to help her get pregnant, as well as illustrations.
The lifelikeness of that picture...
As soon as Jiang Yun Zhu took a look, Shen Feng Ming carried her to the bed.
The light blue gauze curtain fell, covering the spring scenery inside.
When Jiang Yun Zhu's feet finally landed on the brocade quilt, her mind went blank and her body seemed to be floating in the clouds. She could no longer think about anything.
Shen Feng Ming hugged her and kissed her again and again. Once her breathing became more stable, he picked her up and went to the bathroom.
At this time, the booklet was lying there alone on the nearby table. There was a picture on the open page and the text, "After making love, put a pillow on your buttocks for half an hour to help you get pregnant."
Shen Feng Ming saw it, but had no intention of doing so.
He wanted to have a child with Jiang Yun Zhu, but he was afraid that she would suffer. That was why he decided to follow her wishes and "leave it to fate." If she was pregnant, he would accompany her and find the best doctor and midwife in the world for her. If she can't get pregnant, that was perfect.
At this time, her body was covered with sweat. She must be uncomfortable.
It was better to clean her up.
Entering into the hot water, Jiang Yun Zhu sighed comfortably.
Shen Feng Ming helped her clean her body, even in that area.
The moment the long, calloused fingers invaded, Jiang Yun Zhu self consciously tensed up.
Shen Feng Ming pecked her lips twice to distract her attention.
Then he carried her back to the bed. The two cuddled up and fell asleep.
The next day Jiang Yun Zhu got up late again. This time Princess Danyang directly sent someone to tell them that they were all one family and there weren't so many rules. Jiang Yun Zhu wouldn't need to greet in the morning in the future.
Still, Jiang Yun Zhu quickly got up, not wanting to lie on the bed with Shen Feng Ming anymore.
The two went to see Princess Danyang and Official Shen. The four of them had breakfast together.
Shen Feng Ming went to the Division in high spirits. Jiang Yun Zhu went back to catch up on sleep for half an hour. Only then, she felt energy.
She didn't want to go to Shiguang Restaurant today. She pondered and went to see Academician Shen.
The Shen Family had a library. She had heard Shen Feng Ming talk about it before and had always been yearning to go over. Now...
When Academician Shen heard that she wanted to go into the library to read, he couldn’t be any more happier. "Just let Shen Fu take you there. You don't need to specially ask me for such a trivial matter."
"Thank you, Father." Jiang Yun Zhu said. Still have to ask. She heard that there were many unique books collected in the library by Academician Shen and they weren’t usually seen by others.
Academician Shen nodded. The more he looked at Jiang Yun Zhu, the more satisfied he became. He already knew that the sausage was made by Jiang Yun Zhu.
He had long said, "Know people by reading characters, distinguish nature by seeing objects. The person who made this sausage should be a sincere person."
Now that he saw her, it was indeed true.
And Jiang Yun Zhu's attitude toward Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others further illustrated this point.
Especially, since Jiang Yun Zhu was so eager to learn...
Academician Shen seemed to understand why his son liked Jiang Yun Zhu. This girl was worthy of being liked.
He found it fortunate that Shen Feng Ming could meet her.
Jiang Yun Zhu went to the Shen Family’s library. Even though she had heard about the library before, she was shocked when she saw it. This era wasn't like modern times, books were expensive and difficult to obtain, but the Shen Family’s library had such a scale. It was indeed the accumulation of a great family for hundreds of years.
Shen Feng Ming had already written out the books about recipes in the library for Jiang Yun Zhu. Today she came here mainly to read some travel books. In these books, they often wrote about local food and customs and were interesting.
Soon, Jiang Yun Zhu found a few travel books and flipped through them.
After an unknown amount of time, she felt her eyes were dry. Then she raised her head.
Seeing that it was almost noon, she stood up, stretched, and hurried to the kitchen.
Today she saw several dishes in the travel notes, all of which were very interesting. She wanted to try them herself to see if she could make them successfully.
When the chefs of the Shen Family saw her coming, they were both happy and shivering. Delighted, because of Jiang Yun Zhu’s cooking skills
It was extremely high. They were resigned to being inferior. When she cooked, they helped her and learned a lot.
Shivering was because they were afraid that Jiang Yun Zhu will always come to the kitchen and they would lose their jobs.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know what they were thinking, so she went to a corner of the kitchen and worked away.
After a while, the dishes came out one after another.
"Master, today Young Madam personally cooked." After seeing Jiang Yun Zhu away, Academician Shen went to the Hanlin Academy. Seeing that it was lunch time, he was about to agree when someone invited him to go out for dinner when Shen Fu whispered beside him.
"You go ahead. I won't go." Hearing this, Academician Shen immediately rejected the invitations from the people opposite him.
Several people on the opposite side looked at each other, wondering why Academician Shen suddenly changed his mind.
However, Academician Shen hurriedly got into the carriage and returned to Shen's home. Jiang Yun Zhu personally cooked today! He couldn't miss it.
"Madam, Young Madam went to the kitchen." Attendant Chang soon learned about this and conveyed it to Princess Danyang.
Princess Danyang silently put down the cake she just picked up. Forget it, she won't eat it. Let's wait for a while for the meal.
Academician Shen and Shen Feng Ming went home together. Ever since Jiang Yun Zhu married in, Shen Feng Ming would go home for lunch if he wasn't particularly busy, and would go home early after finishing his work in the evening.
When Princess Danyang saw the father and son in the hall, she first snorted. This was directed to Academician Shen. Afterward, when she looked at Shen Feng Ming, her face was full of smiles.
She found it extremely fortunate now that she begged Emperor Qinglong to give a decree for Jiang Yun Zhu to marry her son back then. Now this family felt like a home.
At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu had finished preparing the meal, washed her hands and came to the front hall.
"Don't work so hard and cook by yourself." Princess Danyang said to Jiang Yun Zhu. Looking at how Jiang Yun Zhu was this morning, she knew that she had been tossed around for a long time last night. She should be nourished right now.
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She didn't find it hard. There was no point in lying in bed all the time. Doing something one liked felt refreshing.
The family sat down to eat.
Today Jiang Yun Zhu made a new dish, a Bijian soup. This dish only used one ingredient, water celery.
Cut the water celery into small pieces and then make it into a soup. The finished soup was clear and transparent, with green water celery floating on it. It was as beautiful as the green water of a mountain stream.
"Is this dish Bijian soup?" Academician Shen stared at the dish and asked in surprise. He had read almost all the books in the library. He remembered that this dish was mentioned in a travel journal, saying that it was a simple but extremely delicious dish that made people yearn for it.
It was a pity that he didn't know how to cook. As for the chef at home, getting them to cook it was putting them on the spot. So he could only imagine the taste of this dish in his heart. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun Zhu made it today.
"It's Bijian soup." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.
Academician Shen became interested, twirling his beard while admiring the dish. He said, "Fresh crucian carp silver-threaded slice; green celery Bijian soup; on a hundred hectares of windy pond; a thousand pieces of summer wood are clear. This dish occupies all "natural-ness."
Princess Danyang didn't like hearing these rambling from him. If Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu weren't here, she would have attacked him long ago.
She ignored him and asked Jiang Yun Zhu, "Does this dish only use water celery?"
From the first impression, that was what it looked like. But it was just boiled celery. Could it be delicious? It better not be an all show not taste vase-like dish.
"Mother, try it." Jiang Yun Zhu served a bowl of Bijian soup to Princess Danyang.
Princess Danyang scooped up a spoonful and tentatively put it into her mouth. To be honest, she didn't like the strange taste of water celery.
But as soon as she put this green soup into her mouth, Princess Danyang's eyes widened. This! Was this water celery? She tasted it carefully. It tasted like water celery. But why did it taste so fresh? And this soup, when drinking it, it tasted clear and light. However, it had a feeling that one can't stop having it.
