Xu Lanyin gave the tea shop a nice name, Xinyu Tea House.
Hu Wan was busy in the department store. When he saw Xu Lanyin coming, he also came to the teahouse.
Xu Lanyin also asked him to help find some teahouse managers and waiters.
Hu Wan smiled and said, "My tea shop has just closed. If Miss Xu likes those people, I will give them to you. They will have a good way out."
Xu Lan was overjoyed. She believed that the person Hu Wan gave her would be okay.
Hu Wan asked someone to call Manager Wu over. Xu Lanyin talked to him for more than an hour, telling him about the decoration style of the teahouse and her philosophy of running the teahouse.
Shopkeeper Wu thought it was very novel and offered some of his opinions.
Xu Lanyin was very pleased with Manager Wu and asked him to come to Xinyue Teahouse after he finished handling the follow-up matters of the previous teahouse. He also understood Xu Lanyin's plan for the teahouse, which would free up Ding Gu to do other things.
When I was about to return home, I saw Ding Xiaoran instructing Xu Lanting and Minhu in playing Go.
Xu Lanyin asked, "Have you learned Go before?"
Ding Xiaoran's pretty face flushed red as she bowed and said, "No, I just saw my brother and sister go down for a while."
What a clever child indeed. Xu Lanyin had some thoughts in her mind again.
Ding Gu had been busy the whole time, not realizing Ding Xiaoran had actually dared to instruct the young master on how to play chess. He was so angry that he slapped Ding Xiaoran on the head and cursed, "You ignorant fool! You're just a servant, and you dare to cross the line..."
Xu Lanyin didn't have that many ideas about hierarchy, so she quickly stopped him and said, "It's not against the rules to teach the young master how to play chess. He's very smart."
When we returned to Minfu, the sun had already set.
After washing up, they had dinner.
Xu Lanyin looked calm, but she was worried that Minhu would come here to eat again. Fortunately, he didn't come.
After dinner, Xu Lanyin took the children for a walk in the yard to help them digest their food, and told them bedtime stories.
What she didn't know was that there was a pair of ears eavesdropping outside the door.
The Minhu despised him. A grown man like him, yet he was so fascinated by such a childish story. Moreover, he was a gentleman, a man of integrity, so why didn't he go in and listen to the story in an upright manner, but pretended to watch the sunset here?
He had to admit the fact that as long as it was that voice, no matter what it said, he liked to listen to it. However, thinking of the dream he had yesterday, he really didn't have the courage to face her.
Phoenix saves Phoenix... There are too many obstacles between him and her. Only by completely removing them can he avoid wronging her...
Thinking about letting people know about Xu Lanyin, he wasn't worried about her getting married right away. Only he understood this bouquet of flowers in the valley. Of course, Zhao Wu understood it too, but he only thought of her as a sister who had saved his life.
In the next few days, Ding Gu and the steward of the Min Prefecture went to see several houses and shops, and came back to report the prices and addresses to Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin chose two places and after visiting them, he spent 450 taels of silver on a three-story house and 400 taels on a one-story shop with a small courtyard. He used the rest of the money for renovations, furniture, and shop supplies. The house and shop were relatively close to each other, both in the north of the city, where there were many merchants and minor officials.
The house was still registered under the name of the Qin family, and the shop was still registered under the name of the eldest son Xu Lanzhou. After Wu went to the teahouse, Ding Gu was mainly responsible for the decoration of the house and the snack shop.
After finishing all these, it was August 26th. Zhao Xingchen's burns had scabbed over, and Xu Lanyin had also gotten used to Zhao Wu going on business trips far away, so it was time for them to go home.
Minhu hadn't come to visit Minjia for the past few days. Xu Lanyin suspected that perhaps Minhu felt he wasn't right for her and wanted to calm down, not come here to face her. His thought was a good one; strictly maintaining the boundaries between superiors and subordinates would keep things from becoming awkward and help both sides do their jobs well.
Moreover, according to Butler Hao, since he got the screen, Minhu has been able to fall asleep every night, sleeping for more than two hours. Most importantly, he has gained weight. He went to the scale and found that he had gained three pounds, which was not easy.
When talking about this, Butler Hao couldn't help but thank Xu Lanyin a few words.
Xu Lanyin was also happy for Minhu. If the insomnia that had tormented him for years could be completely cured, he wouldn't have to suffer anymore, and she wouldn't have to hypnotize him anymore.
During the day, Xu Lanyin told Butler Hao that she would go home the next day, planning to say goodbye to Minhu after dinner.
The sun was setting in the west, and several children were playing in the yard. Xu Lanyin was sitting on the porch watching them.
Looking at the little girl, whose smile was noticeably brighter, Xu Lanyin felt extremely reluctant and reluctant to let her go. She hadn't dared to tell her that they were leaving yet. If they left, the child's life would have to return to the same state as before, and the gap would be cruel to her.
If they lived somewhere else, it would be fine, they could occasionally let the girl visit their home. But there was the Yi Ju Restaurant there, and Min Hu was the deputy envoy of the Judicial and Anchasi. Even if the Yi Ju Restaurant didn't know that Min Hu was trying to get rid of them, they still didn't feel safe letting the girl go there.
Suddenly, Xu Lanting called out "Brother Min" and walked towards the gate holding Min Jia and Zhao Xingchen's hands.
Min Hu walked through the half-open gate. Still in his official uniform, he smiled a warm, gentle smile. His dark circles and bags under his eyes were gone, and his sunken cheeks had grown fleshier, making him look even more handsome and more energetic.
"Brother Min, you haven't come to visit Jiajia for a long time." Xu Lanting spoke up for Min Jia.
Zhao Xingchen's thoughts were very simple. He said, "Bad guys are bad, uncle will catch the bad guys."
Although Min Jia didn't say anything, the rejection in his eyes was obviously much less.
Min Hu first glanced at Xu Lanyin in the distance, then lowered his head and said to Min Jia, "Dad has been coming home very late these days and hasn't come here to see my daughter. Although Dad hasn't been here, he has been thinking about my daughter every day."
After saying that, he looked up at Xu Lanyin again, then took Min Jia's hand and walked to Xu Lanyin.
He didn't dare mention Xu Lanyin's departure, and said, "Thank you. Because of you, Jiaer and I's lives have changed dramatically. These days, there's more laughter in our house than in the past two years combined..."
Min Hu hadn't dared to appear before Xu Lanyin these past few days, fearing that he would be discovered if he couldn't hide his feelings. He had been hiding for a few days, and when he felt that he could face Xu Lanyin calmly, Butler Hao said that they were going back to Nanping.
Min Hu really didn't want to let Xu Lanyin go. If she left, not only would he be sad, but his daughter would also feel sorry for him. But she couldn't not go home, so she had to wait for them to go back and live there for a while before taking her home. Fortunately, they bought a house in the provincial capital and would live here forever...
Xu Lanyin didn't know what to say, so she could only smile and say, "Jia Jie'er is a good child. We are happy to be with her."
