Chapter 223 I really do whatever I want because I'm young
After making money, we went to a big restaurant to eat, and everyone was in high spirits.
Zhao Dagui proposed a drink, but Zhao Dafu and Wan Zhu both refused.
Wan Zhu's reason was that he would have to drive a bullock cart to take everyone home soon, and it would be bad if he got drunk.
And Zhao Dafu just wanted to fill his stomach, so as not to delay opening the shop tomorrow.
Zhao Dagui felt a little embarrassed when he was told this. He just liked the taste. Seeing that neither his eldest brother nor Wan Zhu would drink, he felt embarrassed, so he gave up.
Everyone's mouths were full of oil and their bellies were round after eating. They felt that they had never been so happy in their lives.
Duan Kuo asked Zhao Huanyu: "Do you need me to drive a carriage to take you off?"
They came by an oxcart with ten thousand columns. The oxcart moved slowly and had no carriages, so it would be very painful on the road. It was cold and slow, and they had to suffer a lot.
"No, we can just take the bullock cart back."
Zhao Huanyu waved her hand. Even if they went back in a carriage, Wan Zhu would have to drive the bullock cart back alone. He didn't know what dangers he would encounter. It would be better for a group of people to have company.
Duan Kuo did not force himself and said in a low voice: "Since you are doing business in the town, your family still has to buy a horse-drawn carriage. The ox-cart is slow and inconvenient. If there is a delay in delivering things to the guests, it will definitely affect the business."
"I know this. I will buy it after I finish my busy work these days."
Zhao Huanyu had a plan in mind, and planned to see what happened in the past few days before talking about it.
Although the two spoke very quietly, Wan Zhu who was not far away heard them. Hearing that she wanted to buy a carriage, Wan Zhu suddenly became a little nervous.
Just now, he had made up his mind to help Zhao Huanyu, but he didn't expect that he would be of no use so soon.
He took a deep breath, thinking that he would work hard for Zhao Huanyu these days and try his best to return some kindness to her.
Everyone had been busy for a day, and it was already midnight when they arrived at the village. Almost everyone in the village was asleep. Zhao Huanyu said a few polite words and asked everyone to take a rest early, and then everyone went back to their homes.
"Xiaoyu, this young man is really good to our family. He doesn't have the temper of a noble young man from a rich family. He obviously doesn't have a share in this business, but he is still willing to help us like this. We must thank him very much in the future."
On the way back after getting out of the car, Gao happily told Zhao Huanyu about Duan Kuo.
Everyone was very busy today, only Mr. Gao and Duan Kuo talked the most. I originally just wanted to say thank you during lunch, but I didn't expect that the old man and the young man would start chatting like this. It was quite a topic.
Overall, Gao had a very good impression of Duan Kuo.
"I know, grandma."
Zhao Huanyu agreed with a smile. She did not eat Duan Kuo's two meals in vain. She would teach him the specific operation and purpose of the membership system step by step. Two meals from him were nothing.
As if thinking of something, Mrs. Gao pulled her and whispered softly: "Even so, you can't get too close to him, otherwise..." Otherwise, you will be sorry for Mr. Ji.
Seeing her son and grandson not far away, she couldn't say the next words, but Zhao Huanyu still understood what she meant.
Zhao Huanyu found it funny: "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm a big girl now, so I definitely understand these principles."
After thinking about it, she leaned into Mr. Gao's ear again and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He knows about my business cooperation with Duan Kuo."
After saying this, Mr. Gao understood and asked again: "He won't object to your business, right?"
It is said that among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are ranked last. Although this dynasty has no order to despise merchants, those high-ranking families still look down upon them.
She is worried that her granddaughter's marriage will be ruined because of her business.
"No, he supports me very much."
Thinking of that person, Zhao Huanyu's eyes were filled with smiles. Wasn't he very supportive? In order to help her gain a foothold, he even spent a lot of money to act in a play.
Hearing this and seeing the smile on her granddaughter's face, Mrs. Gao knew that she had been worrying too much and was completely relieved.
When he got home, Zhao Dafu quickly boiled water for the whole family to wash, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
As soon as Zhao Huanyu entered her room, she saw a familiar figure. Although she didn't turn on the light, she knew it was him.
She walked forward quickly, threw herself into the man's arms, and asked in a soft voice: "When did you come?"
"Morning."
"Then you haven't been waiting for me all day?"
Zhao Huanyu raised his head from his doubts and said in surprise: "Have you eaten yet? You won't be waiting here for me all day, right?"
She wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat for him. Although there was no cooking at home today, she had space, so it would be no problem to feed him.
"No, I have been in town, I just came back a little earlier than you."
He smiled, hugged the person, and explained gently.
"That's good."
Zhao Huanyu nodded and pulled him to lie down.
In the middle of winter, of course it’s still warm under the covers.
"Don't go back tonight. Anyway, we will go out early tomorrow morning, and no one will find you."
She lay in his arms, playing with his hair hanging on her chest with her little hands.
Ji Mingxuan looked down at her. The little girl was always very courageous, he knew that.
It's just because of my young age that I can do whatever I want.
But he just liked it so much. He hugged the person in his arms tightly and hummed.
"By the way, the people who went to make trouble in the shop this morning were people from the Beauty Hall on Renhe Street. They also own a rouge shop. They specially sent people to cause trouble. I have asked Fu Yuan to find out."
Zhao Huanyu was drowsy in the familiar arms, and immediately woke up after hearing these words.
He actually knew that someone was causing trouble in the store that morning, and he had been paying attention to her.
"Didn't I tell you about today's opening? How did you know?"
It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just curious.
On the contrary, she was filled with joy that he could come.
"Qi Yuan wrote to me and told me that he should have sent someone to follow you secretly."
He had asked Qi Yuan to build the road to Changshui Village before, and Qi Yuan had sensed his intentions. In order not to offend him, he naturally sent more people to watch Zhao Huanyu.
It's better for Qi Yuan's people to follow him than for his people to follow him. At least it's much more convenient around the county town, while his people have to prove their identity and so on.
Therefore, he acquiesced.
"Then our business..."
Zhao Huanyu was a little nervous. Apart from the people around him, this was the only person who knew about their relationship.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to say nonsense."
Ji Mingxuan has enough confidence in Qi Yuan.
Zhao Huanyu felt relieved, and Ji Mingxuan took out an envelope and handed it to her, saying: "This is a shameful thing that Beauty Hall has done secretly in the past few years. Keep it, it should be useful in the future."
Zhao Huanyu took the envelope, but didn't open it in a hurry. She just said in surprise: "You found out about the unknown things that others did so quickly!"
