Chapter 189 Sister and Brother Reunion
Jin Chu has always been clear about making money.
What's more, this was a collaboration between her and Dingbei Palace, so she naturally put in a lot of effort.
The next morning, he called back several apprentices who had just graduated and continued to serve as the master chef.
The prince made it very clear yesterday that the store and management staff had already been arranged in the mansion, and Jin Chu did not need to worry about it, so she only needed to control the quality of the wine.
Jin Chu was very clear about his job role. He did not ask about every detail on weekdays. He just let several of his apprentices and a group of servants do the work.
However, he was very clear about the critical moments. He would be present at every distillation and would carefully inspect and taste the distilled liquor.
He even personally mixes the drinks to ensure the taste and alcohol content of the finished product remains consistent.
She forgot about time when she was busy, so much so that when Jin Chu was buried in the winery, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when the servant brought her the news that Zhao'er and Huanyan had arrived in Youyun City.
Is this coming?
Didn’t they say it would take several days to arrive?
Everyone looked at her confused expression and laughed.
A brave young man joked, "Miss Jin, you've been at the winery for six days!"
Several senior disciples had spent some time with her and understood her character to some extent.
She was approachable and never put on airs. She was friendly to the maids and servants. Except for being very strict when learning winemaking, she was very easy-going and amiable in her daily life.
Therefore, everyone gradually fell in love with this young girl who had won respect for herself through her own efforts, and secretly hoped that she could become the future Crown Prince's Consort.
Jin Chu didn't get angry at being teased. She smiled and agreed, "According to your calculation, six days have indeed passed!"
She took off her smock, washed her hands, and gave detailed instructions to the people in the workshop before turning around and getting on the carriage of the people from the palace and heading towards the Dingbei Palace.
On the way, she asked the visitor, "Where are my brother and sister-in-law now?"
The servant driving the carriage replied respectfully, "Before leaving, the prince personally went to the city gate to greet us. Before leaving, he told me to pick up the young lady and then return directly to the mansion. If all goes well, I think the two young ladies and the young master should be here by now."
When Jin Chu heard this, he was even more delighted and urged the driver to go back quickly.
"Okay, girl, please sit tight." The driver agreed and whipped the carriage hard, speeding forward.
Arriving at the gate of the palace, a servant came to greet them with a smile on his face, saying repeatedly, "The young lady you've been waiting for is back. The prince just brought the young master and another young lady into the palace not long ago."
Jin Chu jumped off the carriage in two steps and asked, "Where is my brother and sister-in-law now?"
"Young lady, be careful." Menzi said with concern, "The prince took her directly to the princess's Hanzhang Courtyard. Young lady, just go there directly."
"Thank you for the reminder." Jin Chu gave the doorman a grateful smile and hurried towards Princess Du's Hanzhang Courtyard.
Before reaching Hanzhang Courtyard, the maid at the door came to greet her: "Miss Jin is back, the princess and the prince are in the room with the young master and the young lady!"
Then they surrounded her and went into the house.
In the main hall, Princess Du was embracing Zhao'er and smiling lovingly. Su Cheng'an and Huanyan, who were sitting below, were also looking at Princess Du with smiles on their faces.
"Sister!" The sharp-eyed Zhao'er saw Jin Chu and shouted happily.
Huanyan, who was sitting down, also turned her head, stood up, and called out, "Sister."
"Ajin is here. Zhao'er and Huanyan are both good kids. Especially Zhao'er, he's delicate and smart. He's so well-behaved and sensible. He's much better than Yizhi when he was little."
Princess Du hugged Zhao'er and spoke kind words to her without asking for anything in return, which showed that she liked Zhao'er very much.
"My brother is just a little bit younger and cute, how can he deserve such high praise from the princess." Jin Chu waved at Zhao'er, "You naughty boy, stop clinging to the queen's arms. Come down quickly, or you'll tire the queen out."
After receiving her sister's instructions, Zhao'er hurriedly broke free from Princess Du's arms and walked to Jin Chu in an orderly manner.
Princess Du, her arms empty, glanced at Jin Chu with her beautiful eyes and scolded her dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a Liuli girl, how could I be so delicate! Ah Jin, are you worried that I'll steal your little brother?"
"It's a blessing for us siblings that the Empress likes Zhao'er. Ah Jin couldn't ask for more, so why would he worry about the Empress snatching her away?"
Jin Chu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that Zhao'er has just arrived and is covered in dust. I'm worried that your elegant clothes will be rubbed into a mess by this dirty monkey."
"You have so many excuses! I think Zhao'er is very clean." Princess Du pointed at Jinchu, "But what you said reminds me. You two siblings just met, and it's time to get close. I won't be a bad person and force you to accompany me."
She turned to the older girl beside her and ordered, "Go, bring the gifts I prepared for Zhao'er and Huanyan!"
Jin Chu was about to be polite again, but Princess Du interrupted her directly: "Jin girl, I prepared this gift a long time ago. Zhao Er likes it even more after seeing it today. This is a gift from me to your brother and sister, you can't refuse it!"
As they were talking, a maid brought over a box. The princess gave each of them a gift, then called Zhao'er forward, stroked his head, and smiled lovingly: "Zhao'er, from now on, don't call me Princess, just call me Auntie!"
It seems that the princess really likes Zhao'er!
Zhao'er turned to look at Jinchu inquiringly, but seeing Jinchu nodded slightly, the little fellow then obediently called out to Princess Du softly, "Zhao'er thanks Auntie for the reward."
Princess Du smiled even more happily. She said gently, "Good boy, go back with your sister and rest for a while. Remember to come to your aunt's place for dinner in the evening!"
The three siblings nodded in unison, and Jinchu politely thanked Su Chengan again, "Thank you so much for taking the time to bring Zhao'er and Huanyan back."
"Given the relationship between Ah Jin and me, Huan Yan and Zhao Er are like my own siblings. There's really no need to be so polite."
The prince, who was like a backdrop, finally found an opportunity to speak.
In front of outsiders, Ajin always liked to keep a distance from him, but this time he was her closest relative, and Su Chengan didn't want to put on a show privately, so he didn't cooperate politely.
Zhao'er was fine after hearing this, but Huanyan glanced at the tall and handsome prince in front of her without leaving a trace.
Jin Chu glared at the young man reluctantly, then bowed to the princess and said goodbye. The three sisters went to Mancuixuan where she lived.
As soon as they left, Su Cheng'an also found a reason to get up and leave Hanzhang Courtyard.
Princess Du slowly held the tea and smiled softly.
Although Ajin had never seen his elder brother, he must be no ordinary person since he was able to hide from the enemy for many days and successfully gain a foothold.
Today I met Ajin's younger brother again. Although the child is young, he is well-behaved and sensible. If he is well educated, he will not be a burden to his sister in the future. Instead, he may become another helper to Ajin.
Thinking that even if Yizhi married Ajin in the future, her close relatives would not bring unnecessary trouble to the Dingbei Palace, Princess Du finally let go of her half-hanging heart.
