Chapter 484 Caixia leaves
It was already past noon, and Su Yue did not wait for Murong Li to come back. After having lunch alone, she called Hong Ying back and asked her about the preparations for the restaurant's opening.
This restaurant should have been opened a long time ago. If it had opened before the New Year, it would have been making a ton of money by now.
"Princess, everything is ready. We are just waiting for a date to open the business."
Su Yue nodded: "Well, do you think the days will be good?"
Hongying: "I looked at a few dates. One is the eighth day of the second lunar month, the other is the fifteenth day of the second lunar month..."
Hongying had watched for four days in total, but the best day was February 18th. It was already the fifth day of February, and there were still thirteen days until that day. Su Yue felt that it was too long, so she decided to do it on the eighth day of February, which still had three days left.
So she said, "Let's open it on February 8th. February 18th is too far away."
Hong Ying bowed and said, "Yes, Princess. It's perfectly fine to open on February 8th. Everything is already prepared."
"Okay, then you guys should write all the invitations and send one to every official family in the capital."
She wouldn't bother with any publicity and would just send out invitations. She believed that no one would dare to refuse Princess Li's invitation and everyone would definitely go.
As long as she went there to eat once, she didn't believe that she couldn't pay them back.
Hong Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she had a new understanding of her princess's scheming nature. She praised, "Your Highness, this method is absolutely brilliant. I don't believe anyone would dare not give you your respect."
Su Yue curled her lips: "Yes."
Anyone who doesn't want to give face to the Prince Li's Mansion would have to confront them head-on. The current situation is so obvious. Anyone who has nothing better to do than to go against the future emperor would be courting death.
After Su Yue gave Hong Ying some more instructions, she placed all the ingredients needed for the opening in the cellar and told them to go and get whatever they needed.
Not long after Hongying left, Su Yue called Yueying and the two secret guards again. In order to make it easier for her to call them, she gave the two secret guards names, one called Huoying and the other called Muying, and assigned them tasks.
Murong Li must be very busy when he comes back, and she has nothing to do anyway, so she helps him.
The task she assigned to the three people was to keep an eye on Prince Huai's Mansion and the Lin family. Of course, she was only asking them to scout the area now, and she would only take action when it was time.
Just as things were arranged, Uncle Jiang came with his elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew, and Su Yue received them in the living room.
The three men looked really honest and didn't know what to do with their hands and feet when they saw her.
All three of them were wearing coarse linen clothes, which were very neat, but all of them were patched.
This is not just ordinary poverty. She was wearing patched clothes when she came to see her.
Su Yue looked at Brother Jiang and his wife. They both had a simple and honest look. Brother Jiang looked more like Uncle Jiang, but he looked much older.
The first impression this couple gave her was pretty good, and she believed their character wouldn't be too bad either.
Su Yue looked closely at Jiang Bo's nephew. He was a big and strong man with a simple and honest look, but his facial features were regular, so he was a good match for Caixia.
Su Yue pointed to the chair opposite and said, "You all sit down and talk."
Uncle Jiang's elder brother and his wife waved their hands: "I dare not."
If they didn't want to sit, Su Yue didn't force them. She said directly: "You know the reason why I asked you to come here."
Brother Jiang Bo nodded: "We know."
"It's good for you to know. Caixia has been with me for more than ten years. Now that she's older, I want to find her a good family. I trust Jiang Bo's character, and I'm relieved to hand her over to you. You must treat her well in the future."
Su Yue decided on Caixia's marriage on the spot.
Upon hearing this, the nephew immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yue: "Thank you, Princess, for your help. I will definitely treat Caixia well."
"Well, I believe what you say, but you have to keep your word."
Jiang Bo's nephew assured: "I will definitely do what I say, please rest assured, Princess."
Su Yue nodded: "Well, get up, you will take Caixia away in a while."
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
This time, even Brother Jiang and his wife kowtowed to Su Yue. They were deeply moved. Their family had no money to marry their son, and they had delayed it until such an old age. They did not expect that the princess would marry her personal maid into their family.
Su Yue stepped forward and helped the two of them up. "You don't have to do this. From now on, you and your family should live a good life. With diligence, there is nothing you can't overcome."
Su Yue was humble, just to tell them that she cared about Caixia very much, and for this reason she would not make things difficult for Caixia in the future.
This is all she has done for Caixia. She hopes that girl will have a better life in the future.
"Yes, yes, the princess is absolutely right."
Uncle Jiang's wife stood up, wiped her tears, and nodded in response.
Then Su Yue called Caixia in and gave her the dowry that had been prepared for her long ago.
Caixia saw the land deeds and banknotes in her hand and hurriedly returned them to Su Yue: "Miss, I can't take these from you."
Su Yue stopped him: "Take it. We were master and servant before. You've suffered a lot following me. This is what you deserve."
The dowry that Su Yue prepared was two thousand taels of silver notes, a shop, of course the location of the shop was neither very good nor very bad, and a farm of five hundred acres. There was nothing else.
With these things, Caixia will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life unless something unexpected happens.
"Miss."
Caixia was so moved that she threw herself into Su Yue's arms, tears streaming down her face. She really couldn't bear to leave the young lady, but she also knew that it would be a burden if she stayed with the young lady like this.
Su Yue patted her and said, "Don't cry. Your future parents-in-law are watching you. You'll be laughed at by others."
Caixia then raised her head shyly, sniffed, and nodded.
The deep affection between master and servant was so great that the three members of Jiang Bo's family were dumbfounded. Jiang Bo had told them that Caixia was like a younger sister in the eyes of the princess, but they were a little bit unconvinced. But today they saw that it was indeed true.
In this way, they will treat Caixia better in the future.
Jiang Bo's nephew was also very happy, which showed that he had excellent taste. The girl the princess liked must be good.
After Su Yue handed Caixia over to their family, Jiang Bo took them to Caixia's yard to pack Caixia's things.
Caixia has lived with Su Yue for so long, so she still has a lot of things.
After packing up, they came to Lingxiaoyuan again to say goodbye to Su Yue, and then the family went back.
Su Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending the crybaby out the door.
Caixia was just a maidservant by her side and it was impossible for her to marry out of the palace. On the day of her wedding, Jiang Bo was free to make all the arrangements.
Jiang Bo still has a small house in the capital, and they decided to have Caixia get married there.
