Chapter 279 The Master is Going to the Capital, Are You Going?
"Feng'er is right, this is indeed a good idea." The Chu family's eldest uncle's eyes suddenly brightened up. "If we can open a restaurant in the capital, then Dad will be satisfied in this life. It can also be regarded as carrying forward the business that your grandfather handed down to Dad."
As they were talking, the person sent to invite Chu Hanfeng's mother came back with a message saying that the eldest lady was not feeling well and the eldest lady did not need to say goodbye.
The old lady's face darkened, but she didn't say anything. Her daughter-in-law disliked her eldest granddaughter because of the disease she had when she was a child.
When Dr. Du came to treat the granddaughter, he made it clear that it was just a pollen allergy and not a serious illness. Why does the daughter-in-law still dislike her eldest granddaughter?
According to what Dr. Du said at the time, the eldest granddaughter was allergic to pollen, and it could be said that she inherited it from her.
"Alas!" The old lady sighed again and comforted Chu Hanfeng, "Forget about your mother not wanting to see you. Don't take it to heart. Ask your father to give you five thousand taels of silver notes to spend on the road. You have a whole family to feed and drink, and the journey is long. Don't make yourself suffer."
Yuanbao climbed down from the arms of Grandpa Chu, walked to the old lady, stood on tiptoe, pulled her hand down, put it on himself, and motioned her to hug him.
The old lady was very happy. She reached out and picked up Yuanbao and held him in her arms: "Yuanbao! Love your great-grandma!"
"I like it!" Yuanbao nodded his little head and kissed the old lady on the face, "Take care!"
"Oh my! My Yuanbao is so well behaved!" The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing when she was kissed. "You even remember to remind your great-grandmother to take care of herself. You should take care of yourself too. When you get to the capital, you must listen to your mother, eat well, and grow up quickly."
"Yeah!" Yuanbao nodded his little head vigorously, looked at Chu Hanfeng, and patted his chest, "Grow up, Yuanbao will take care of his brother."
"Hahaha! Yes, well said! Bao, take care of your little brother." The old lady kissed Yuanbao on the little face.
As Mr. Chu watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson, the slight sadness of parting in his heart was diluted a lot. He asked someone to go to the accounting office to get five thousand taels of silver notes and stuffed them into Chu Hanfeng's hand.
"Poverty and wealth, take them all with you."
Chu Hanfeng declined: "Father! I don't want it. My husband has money."
"Take it." The old lady ordered, "Don't you want to open a restaurant in the capital? If you want to open one, take the money. Feng'er! How far our family can go depends on your ability.
In the past, it was your grandmother who was confused and ignored you because of your illness, but you did not indulge in self-pity. Instead, you showed a good business mind.
Your brothers and sisters are not as good as you. Grandmother has seen that your father has not achieved much in his life. It is only because of your husband that the Chu family's business has become a little stronger.
If you leave, I'm afraid we'll have to go back to where we were. If you can gain a foothold in the capital and take your father with you, the Chu family will be able to move to a higher level."
Having said that, Chu Hanfeng did not delay any further and took the banknotes: "Don't worry, grandma! Once things settle down, Fuyunlai Restaurant will definitely stand in the capital. My granddaughter also selfishly wants to settle down there. No matter what, that place is better than our Liangjun City."
"Yes!" The old lady let go of Yuanbao who was struggling to get off the ground. "It would be great if we could take root in the capital. Grandmother is looking forward to it too."
Chu Hanfeng picked up her daughter Yuanbao and stood up to say goodbye: "Grandma! Father! I have to go back. There are a lot of things waiting to be packed at home. Goodbye today, don't miss me when you leave."
The old lady's eyes were red as she watched Chu Hanfeng bring Yuanbao to kowtow to her, then kowtow to the old man of the Chu family, and then leave.
The old man of the Chu family wanted to send her off, but was stopped by the old lady: "Don't send her off, lest she feel sad. Feng'er is the strongest among these children, but it's a pity that she is a girl, married into the Du family, and has to go to the capital.
If we had stayed in Liangjun City, maybe our Chu family's position would have been more stable. Your wife is a fool, she doesn't even know how to treat her own daughter well."
The eldest master of the Chu family silently let out a sigh of relief: "She saw that something happened in the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and was afraid that it would implicate her two sons, so she avoided them."
"Oh! I hope Feng'er doesn't take it to heart." After the old lady said this, she got up and left.
She was too lazy to care about her daughter-in-law's affairs. That was a problem between her and her granddaughter. As long as it didn't affect the overall development of the Chu family's future, it was fine.
Xiao Qi, Aunt Hua, Mouse Six, Black Cat Three, Yellow Dog Nine, Bat Four, and Owl Five gathered together for a meeting.
Xiao Qi asked them: "The master is going to the capital, my mother and I will definitely go with him, are you going?"
Mouse Six was the first to say, "Go! Why not? Wherever the master is, I, Mouse Six, will be there."
Black Cat Three was a little hesitant: "Do we have to go to the capital? If I leave, what will happen to my people?"
The yellow dog rolled his eyes at the black cat three times and said, "Are you stupid? When you leave, your people will naturally be handed over to the most capable person to lead them."
Bat Four, hanging upside down on a tree branch: "That's right. When we get to the capital, we can recruit a group of people."
Owl Five: "I really want to go to the capital. I want to go there, whether you go or not. I want to go to the capital to have a look. I also want to stand at the highest point of the palace, laugh at the sky, and scare all the eunuchs and maids in the palace to death."
Yellow Dog Nine shook his big head and said, "I will go too. I want to be the king of the stray dogs in Beijing and make them all submit to me. No matter what news the master wants to know, I will be the first to find out."
"Bullshit!" Mouse Six puffed out his chest and patted his belly. "When it comes to gathering information, we rats are the best. We can get into any nook and cranny, and we can go into anyone's room. But you, Yellow Dog, can't do that. Once you show up, you'll be chased and killed."
Aunt Hua gave the most pertinent evaluation: "Yellow Dog Nine has its own uses. He is not very good at gathering information, but he is good at chasing and intercepting people."
Yellow Dog Nine, who was originally despised by Mouse Six as worthless, immediately raised his head and chest, showing off his might: "Woof woof woof! That's right, Aunt Hua still understands us dogs. When it comes to tracking people and finding things, we are number one and no one dares to say we are second."
Black Cat Three meowed disdainfully: "Come on! Are you only looking at your own strengths? Can't you look at your own weaknesses?
If I, Lao Hei, went to the capital, I would be a little behind Mouse Six in gathering information, but I would be the fastest in spreading information. We cats can run around on the streets, but the mice can't. If a mouse crosses the street, everyone will shout and beat him!"
The owl's "coo-coo-coo" laugh was enough to scare people to death: "We owls are the best at scaring people. As long as our master gives the order, we can scare anyone to death. Coo-coo-coo! Coo-coo-coo! So majestic!"
Bat Four thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what its advantages were. Although its master had taken it in, he had never ordered it to do anything, and it didn't know what it could do.
Aunt Hua looked at everyone and said, "You all want to go to the capital, so do you know how to get there?"
