“How long have they been here?”
“Just finished ordering.”
“Go and tell them I have friends over here and to wait a little while before going over.”
Wei the shopkeeper answered and retreated.
Grand Master Sun sensed that something was wrong, the person who came in was dressed as a shopkeeper at first glance, how could he be so respectful to Song Wan Yue?
Song Wan Yue gestured for Song Shen to pour tea for Grand Master Sun and continued the conversation she had just had, “Your suggestion is very good, some day I will be free and go to the capital city to have a look around, I will also ask for Mr. Sun’s help when the time comes.”
“Well said, as long as we can help in any way, we will certainly spare no effort.”
“Do you think it is better for me to find someone to work with, or to open a restaurant alone?”
Grand Master Sun stroked his breath and thought seriously for a moment, “I think it’s better to work with someone. If you open a restaurant alone, you will need a lot of manpower and resources, and as Miss Song said earlier, your family has never even done business, and running a restaurant in such a faraway place will easily be ostracised, resulting in the business not being able to continue in the end. If you work with someone, you only need to send someone who knows the hotpot recipe over, although you earn less, it’s relatively much more secure.”
Song Wangyue listened carefully and nodded her head, “Indeed the advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages, I’ll give it some thought.”
……
After talking for a couple of quarters, Grand Master Sun got up to say goodbye, Song Wan Yue and Song Shen sent him downstairs, and when the man left in the carriage, she turned around and asked which elegant room the Qi family was in.
She asked Song Shen to wait for her in the back room.
She went up to the first floor alone and was about to go to the elegant room when Gu Yi came out from the elegant room where she had just eaten, “I’ll go with you.”
Thinking of the Qi family’s reaction to seeing him, Song Wan Yue subconsciously didn’t want him to go, “Second brother is in the backyard house, still not over the self-blame from earlier, you go and comfort him, I’ll go in and say a few words and come out.”
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows, “Are you sure you want me to go and comfort him?”
Song Wangyue choked for a moment.
Gu Yi was already slowly lifting his feet and walking towards the elegant room.
“Let’s go, at least it’s the proprietor of the Grand Dart Board, since people have named me to see, I can’t let him down.”
Xiao Si had already walked over quickly and knocked at the door of the elegant room.
“Enter!”
Qi Wu’s muffled voice came out from inside.
Xiao Si opened the door and Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi walked in.
Inside the house, the aroma of hot pot lingered, and the family of three was eating to their heart’s content. Seeing the two enter, Qi Wu first put down his chopsticks and swallowed the meat in his mouth, his gaze instantly skimming over Gu Yi and landing on Song Wangyue.
“You guys are here, please have a seat. I told you not to be in such a hurry to shout at you, we’ll invite you over for a while after we’ve eaten our fill, but Yingzi said he hadn’t seen Yue’er for a long time, so he asked the shopkeeper to invite her, so he didn’t delay you, did he?”
Mrs. Qi Wu and Qi Ying also put down their chopsticks.
“Uncle Father Qi, Aunt Qi, Sister Qi.”
Song Wangyue smiled and called out to the people.
Gu Yi didn’t squeal.
A few people also did not care, pulled a stool for the two to sit down, Qi Ying even more affectionately grabbed Song Wan Yue’s hand, “Yue’er, but you promised me to come to the county town to play with me, I look forward to it every day, but you are good, not even once.”
“I wanted to, but Gu Yi found me an old doctor and asked me to learn acupuncture under him, I haven’t learnt the acupuncture points on the human body alone for so many days, I’m so angry that the old doctor doesn’t want to teach me, how dare I be lazy?”
“You don’t know acupuncture?”
Qi Ying was very surprised, she thought …… and instantly thought of something else, “Then your medical skills?”
“It’s something I read in a medical book.”
Qi Ying was instantly surprised and could not speak, back after seeing Gu Yi for the first time, her father sent someone to investigate and learned that it was because Song Wan Yue had saved Gu Yi that Gu Yi was dead set on pestering Song Wan Yue, and thought that the Song family had quietly hired someone to teach her, not expecting that it would have been learned from a medical book.
Qi Wu and Madam were also surprised.
But they were only surprised for a moment before they came back to their senses, and Madam Qi smiled and said, “I really envy your mother for having such a gifted daughter like you, unlike me, who gave birth to such a dumb girl who only dances around with a sword all day, worrying me to death.”
“Mother ……”
Qi Ying did not comply.
“It’s useless to shout mother, Yue’er is not only gifted, she can also think of this fresh food, where as you, let you into a kitchen, you can give burn the room.”
“Father, look at Mother.”
“Okay, okay, dancing with a sword and a stick has its advantages, at least you don’t have to worry about being bullied wherever you go, don’t you think so, Yue’er?”
“Yes, I envy sister Qi, she’s not older than me and has travelled so many places with you, unlike me, a frog at the bottom of the well, the furthest I’ve been is the capital city.”
“If you like it, next time we go on a dart trip, I’ll take you with me.”
“Nonsense!”
As soon as Qi Ying finished speaking, Qi Wu scolded, “Is going on a dart trip a fun thing to do? How can you take Yue’er with you.”
“Miss Qi is fifteen this year, isn’t she?”
Gu Yi suddenly asked.
Several people looked at him at once.
“Since you’re not too young, you need to talk through your head, and don’t say things you can’t deliver.”
There was a moment of silence in the room.
“And ah ……”
Gu Yi squinted at Qi Wu, “Do I know you guys well? So big-faced to let me come over? Or do you guys think my father is rich, so you have your eyes on me and want to find a time to kidnap me and extort my father’s silver!”
Qi Wu, ……
Busily explained, “Sir Gu, you misunderstood, we just ……”
“Misunderstood what? Misunderstanding that you want to extort my father’s silver, or misunderstanding that you have a big face?”
Qi Wu, ……
“Gu Yi ……”
Song Wangyue tugged his sleeve in embarrassment, she didn’t even know what to say.
Gu Yi blandly got up and pulled her up as well by the way, “You are still young, you don’t understand what is the danger of the human heart, some people look human from the surface, but they still don’t know what bad water they are holding in their stomachs?”
“You ……”
Qi Ying could not endure it, stood up and glared angrily.
Gu Yi didn’t even give her a look, pulling Song Wan Yue and walking out.
Bang!
Qi Ying was so angry that she kicked the stool Song Wangyue was sitting on just now, “Simply bullying people too much!”
The corners of Gu Yi’s mouth hooked coldly, then he returned to his normal self, his voice not too loud, not too small, enough for the three people in the elegant room to hear, “Tell Boss Wei that anyone who damages anything in the restaurant will be compensated three times.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Xiao Si answered.
“You’re talking too much.”
Song Wangyue pulled her hand out and went downstairs with him, today the three members of the Qi family came to dinner, if only she was invited over normally, but even Gu Yi was invited on, obviously there was some purpose, so she didn’t want Gu Yi to go just now.
Gu Yi slowly walked down the stairs, his voice was muffled by the noise in the lobby, Song Wan Yue could only faintly hear, “This is called once and for all, from now on they should never set foot in the door of Yue Hak Lai again.”
