The following day came the day of the agreed delivery with the Grand Master Sun.
Song Shen held the box containing the pills and rode with Song Wan Yue in Gu Yi’s carriage to the county inn.
All along the way, he held the box tightly and did not let go of it.
When they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Song Wan Yue and Song Shen both got off the carriage, while Gu Yi stayed in the carriage.
The young man brought by Grand Master Sun was already waiting.
“Miss Song and Sir Song, our proprietor is waiting for you all upstairs.”
The two men followed him upstairs.
Grand Master Sun smiled and invited the two to sit down.
Song Shen placed the box on the table in front of him and opened it, although he was nervous and his hands were slightly shaking, his voice was still calm, “In here are two thousand wind-cold pills, and one hundred great tonic pills, please also ask Master Sun to count them.”
“No need.”
Grand Master Sun closed the box with great trust and took out the silver ticket and gave it to him, “This is seventeen thousand taels, Mr. Song count it.”
The composure that Song Shen had just tried to maintain was completely gone when he saw the thick pile of silver tickets, and his mind went blank. ”
“No need to count them, Dongjia Sun won’t give less, second brother put them away.”
“Oh.”
Song Shen stiffly stuffed the silver ticket into his arms and sat down stiffly, his body straight, his eyes looking at his chest, not moving a muscle.
Grand Master Sun simply ignored it and asked Song Wan Yue again, “How has my proposal from that day, Miss Song, been considered? If you want to go to the capital to find someone to cooperate with, I will ask someone to inquire when I return.”
“Thank you, Master Sun, I went back that day and thought about it overnight, and thought that instead of working with someone, I would rather just sell the hotpot base, so that I can make money without having to put in manpower and resources.”
“Selling hotpot base?”
Grand Master Sun was surprised.
“Yes, as you saw the other day, there’s nothing to hotpot, the essence is all in the base, and selling the base is far more profitable than finding someone to work with.”
Grand Master Sun snapped to attention, admiring from the bottom of his heart, “Indeed, this is a wonderful idea Miss Song.”
“It also came to me out of the blue, and thanks to your reminder the other day, otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of it.”
Grand Master Sun laughed loudly as he stroked his beard, “Miss Song, you are truly a business genius, you will definitely have great success in the future.”
“You are very complimentary.”
……
Song Wan Yue and Song Shen both accompanied Grand Master Sun out of the inn and watched him get into the carriage and go far away before the two of them got into the carriage one after another.
Song Shen got on first and Song Wan Yue got on after him.
The carriage started and headed towards the tavern.
Song Shen had his hand over his chest and was motionless.
Gu Yi felt strange and asked Song Wan Yue with his eyes.
Song Wangyue smiled and shook her head, mischievously raising her hand and waving it in front of Song Shen, “Second brother, come back to your senses.”
Song Shen was so shocked that his body fell backwards and Gu Yi grabbed him to prevent him from knocking his head on the carriage wall, “Don’t tell me that you are like this because you took the silver ticket.”
Song Shen’s eyes widened instantly, “You, how do you know?”
Gu Yi,……
didn’t know what to say.
The first time that big brother and Yue’er saw so many silver tickets they were not like this, and again it is not just more than 10,000 taels, so why be nervous like this?
A carriage brushed past their bodies, very quickly!
Xiao Si took a look and saw the sign on it, and reported in a low voice, “Young master, Miss Song, the Yuan family’s carriage has just passed.”
Since Madam Yuan had called Song Wan Yue over that day, there had been no more movement in the Yuan residence, but today they came across it on the street, and it had just brushed their carriage, so one could not help but think about it.
“You follow them.”
Xiao Si answered, jumped off the carriage and followed quickly.
The Yuan family’s carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Zhang House, and the maid who was following it brought down the dismounting stool, then lifted the curtain and helped Madam Yuan get off the carriage and walk towards the gate of the Zhang House, followed by another maid carrying a food box.
When they had entered the gate of the Zhang House, Xiao Si turned back to report.
Mrs. Zhang got the news and came out to greet them personally, “You haven’t fully recovered from your injuries, why have you come here personally? Have someone send me a message if there’s anything, I’ll just go over.”
As she was recovering from her injuries, Madam Yuan was not in the best of spirits, “I was just idling around at home, thinking that Yao’er loves the snacks made by the house cooks, so I asked them to make some and I’m bringing them to Yao’er. What about you, Yao’er?”
“She’s in her own house, I’ll send someone to call her, take your time.”
Mrs Yuan followed her into the house and settled down, panting slightly.
Lady Zhang was distraught and at a loss for words of comfort; anyone who had lost their only daughter would not come out of it quickly.
“Look at you, you’re all thin and out of shape, the dead are gone, we have to live well.”
“I understand, but Min’er was my only daughter after all ……”
Before the words were counted, Mrs. Yuan’s eyes turned red and she choked up a few times before saying no more.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, “The good thing is that there is still Yao’er, I also watched her grow up, just like my own daughter, in the future, ah, you have to let her go to my mansion more often to keep me company.”
“I should, I will let her go even if you don’t say so, from now on you will treat Yao’er as your daughter.”
“Mother, Aunt Yuan has brought me delicious food.”
Accompanied by the sound of stomping footsteps, Zhang Yao ran happily into the house, caught a glimpse of the food box placed on the table and was about to go up to get it.
“Come and meet your Auntie Yuan first.”
Zhang Yao blessed herself in place, “Greetings, Auntie Yuan.”
After saying that, she stood up and couldn’t wait to open the food box.
“This girl, she has been spoiled by me.”
“No matter, I just like the way she is naive.”
Zhang Yao brought out two plates of pastries and sat down at the table to feast on them.
Mrs Yuan smiled and looked at her, “Look at her, seeing her eat so well makes me hungry.”
After saying this, she jokingly asked, “Yao’er, will you give a piece to your aunt?”
Zhang Yao looked at the two plates, took a piece from the plate with more left and very generously sent it to Madam Yuan, “Here you go.”
“Our Yao’er understands.”
Mrs. Yuan smiled and took it, adding, “Your mother would have to die of craving just for the two of us to eat, does Yao’er want to give your mother another piece?”
“Good.”
Zhang Yao took another piece and gave it to Madam Zhang.
“Yao’er eat it, mother doesn’t ……”
Madam Zhang was just about to refuse when Madam Yuan smiled and said, “I am really hungry, you should also eat a piece with me.”
“Yes, Madam Zhang, just eat a piece with our madam, our madam has not had much of an appetite these days, and today it’s so easy to want to eat pastries.”
Said Madam Yuan’s maid who followed her in.
“Fine.”
Madam Zhang took the pastry and took a bite, praising, “It is indeed delicious.”
Madam Yuan also took a bite, a wry smile on her face, “Of course it’s delicious, I but I had the cook make it specially.”
