Master Jin himself went to the mansion and smilingly told Song Wan Yue that his grandson had arrived.
“He rode all the way over here, I told him to rest first, you see ……”
“Later we’ll go over to the restaurant for dinner, you can have him disguised as a fellow to serve the food.”
The golden shopkeeper answered.
When he left, Song Wangyue went to Xu’s courtyard first and then to Huangcao and his wife’s courtyard to tell them, keeping Huang Yu alone.
Near noon, Song Wangyue suggested going to the restaurant to eat hot pot, “I haven’t eaten for several days, I’m craving it.”
Huang Gao and his wife knew the purpose of the meal and didn’t say anything. Huang Yu, however, was a little embarrassed, although she didn’t know how expensive a hotpot meal was, she knew that it would cost quite a lot of silver money. If it wasn’t for their family, Miss Song shouldn’t have gone to eat.
Xu saw her thoughts with a glance and said with a smile, “I want to eat too, let’s go.”
The group went to the restaurant.
Jin’s grandson, Jin Hao, had been standing in front of the counter in the guise of a fellow, and when he saw them approaching, he personally welcomed them. Jin Hao knew that it was Song Wangyue and her group who had arrived, and retreated to an inconspicuous corner, his gaze falling on Huang Yu with unmistakable accuracy.
Just as his grandfather had said, she was indeed a beautiful girl, better than she had imagined, without the usual timid look of a country girl, she was well mannered and generous.
He took a liking to her at once.
Although his grandfather was a steward of the Meng family, their families, too, worked in the Meng family’s shop. He had thought about what kind of daughter-in-law he would find, but no matter how he thought about it, he had never imagined that he would marry such a beautiful girl.
With his head bowed, Huang Yu Wei followed a group of people upstairs to the elegant room.
Master Jin sent them up and then came down, gesturing for his grandson to send tea up.
Jin Hao steadied his fiercely beating heart, carried the tea upstairs and walked to the door of the elegant room and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Jin Hao pushed the door open with one hand and entered.
Apart from Huang Yu, the gazes of several other people in the room fell on him in unison.
Not seeing any tension, Jin Hao placed the tea in front of them one by one and retreated.
Huangcao and his wife showed their satisfaction.
Xu also thought it was okay and nodded towards Song Wangyue.
“Serve the food.”
Jin Hao came in again, followed by the fellow carrying the bottom of the pot and the tray, Jin Hao put these on the table one by one, and finally there was a plate of fishballs which he put in front of Huang Yu.
Huang Yu subconsciously glanced at him. Jin Hao felt his heart suddenly skip a beat and his face reddened a little, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated.
The Huangcao couple looked at each other. They were people of the past, and naturally they could see that the young man was interested in their granddaughter.
When Jin Hao went downstairs with a red face, Master Jin beckoned the man to follow him and asked in a low voice, “What do you think?”
“As grandfather said, it was very good.”
This was a hit, and Master Jin happily stroked his beard, “Go and wait at the back first, and don’t move around the courtyard without my word.”
Upstairs, apart from Song Lin, several other people’s eyes fell on Huang Yu intentionally or unintentionally, Huang Yu noticed it and thought she had gotten something on the corner of her mouth and subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
Several people hurriedly withdrew their gazes.
When Huang Gao’s daughter-in-law wanted to say something, Song Wan Yue quickly put a piece of meat into her bowl, “Today’s lamb is particularly fresh, you can try it.”
Huangcao’s daughter-in-law understood that she was not allowed to say anything, so she smiled and thanked her.
After the meal was finished, they came out of the elegant room and prepared to go downstairs.
Another elegant room was also opened and a man came out of the room, followed by two attendants, none other than Zhang Zhuan’s cousin, Wu Sheng.
He looked in the direction of a few people and his eyes fell on Huang Yu, he had checked out the Song family and there was no girl that big.
He stood in place and waited for Song Wangyue and the others to come downstairs and ordered, “Go check out that woman.”
When Song Wangyue and the others came down the stairs, the gold shopkeeper was busy welcoming them, receiving Song Wangyue’s gaze, he said nothing and led the few people to the backyard.
“Master Huang, I have something to say to you, you come with me.”
Song Wangyue made her excuses and led Huangcao and his wife to the house where they were receiving guests, while Xu led Huang Yu to Song Wangyue’s house.
When they sat down, they smiled and said, “Master Jin’s grandson has arrived, I’ve seen him, and he’s a very nice person.”
She knew that both Song Wan Yue and Xu really cared about her, and that her grandparents were always worried about her, so she bit her lip for a while before she spoke up, “Can I meet him?”
Hearing her relief, Xu smiled and said, “Naturally, I can.”
She said, pointing to the window, “Sit by the window, he will come through here later.”
With that, she got up and went out to look for Jin.
Master Jin happily went back inside and called out to his grandson, asking him to go to the front and get something for him.
Jin Hao knew that this was probably the woman who wanted to see him, and his heart beat like thunder as he tried to calm himself down. He passed by the window on this side and went to the front lobby.
The only difference was that while Lu had the arrogance of a rich young man, the young man in the past had a gentle, down-to-earth look about him.
Huang Yu closed the window and sat back on the stool.
When Xu pushed the door in, she didn’t squirm, “The man is very nice, but I want to get in touch with him more.”
She knew she was asking too much, but she didn’t want to repeat the same mistake.
Hearing that she did not refuse, Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “I should. In that case, why don’t you go back to the capital together, so that you can be taken care of on the way and you can get to know each other a little better.”
Huang Yu nodded her head.
He called Jin Hao over and told him to meet Xu and to take care of Huang’s family on the way.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang were also very happy and immediately wanted to leave, but Song Wangyue stopped them, “Jin Hao has come all the way here, so we should let him rest for the night and leave again in the morning.”
Mr. and Mrs. Huang Gao hastily agreed.
The following day, after breakfast, the three of them returned to the capital together in a carriage, while Jin Hao rode a horse.
Shortly after they left Qingping County, Wu Sheng went to find Zhang Zhuan, “Cousin, I have disturbed you a lot these days, I should also go back, if you want to go to the capital in the future, have someone send me a message in advance.”
This cousin is not too nosy, he is also good at talking, and his rules and manners are in place, Zhang Zhuan likes him very much, “Why are you leaving all of a sudden, is there something I have not done well?”
“Cousin has treated me very well, but I have been out for so many days, if I don’t go back, my mother at home will be angry, and then my life will not be easy.”
Zhang Zhuan was once a concubine’s son, and knew that concubines had a hard time, so he did not stay any longer, and gave him a thousand taels of silver, “Cousin has not prepared anything for you, take this thousand taels, and if you are free in the future, come over often.”
