Yuan Xichen looked at Yu Qingqing with burning eyes, and his mouth unconsciously opened to greet her.
Yuan Yi, who was standing behind him, really wanted to go up and cover Yuan Xichen's eyes. Is it really okay to keep staring at others?
After not seeing her for a long time, Yuan Xichen felt that she seemed to have become more beautiful. Not everyone can maintain such fair skin under such strong sun.
Yu Qinghai broke the silence and enthusiastically invited Yuan Xichen into the house.
Now Yu Qingqing and the others had no choice but to give up the idea of going out and just stay with the person in front of them.
Yu Qinghai lowered his eyes and bowed slightly, "Mr. Yuan, please come to my humble abode for a gathering. The sun is quite strong here, so let's go inside and talk."
Yu Qinghai didn't dare to look up to see what Yuan Xichen brought with him. He felt a little restrained now that he knew his identity.
Yuan Xichen lifted his wide sleeves and walked slowly inside with his long legs.
The large blue brick and tile house in front of him was also eye-catching. Although it was not as spacious as the one he built, it already looked very grand.
Knowing that Yuan Xichen had come home, Hua Qinglu quickly went to call Yu Qingshu back. After Qingshu had packed up, he brought his family to pay their respects to Yuan Xichen according to etiquette.
"I, Yu Qingshu, and my family, respectfully welcome His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Yu Qingshu spoke clearly and forcefully. His shoulders trembled slightly, and he was extremely nervous.
Yuan Xichen frowned, feeling an indescribable unease within him. He felt that this was too alienating for the Yu family. However, now that his identity was known, he feared they wouldn't be able to get along as they had before.
However, in front of Yu's family, he couldn't put on airs at all. He stepped forward and personally helped Yu Qingshu up, "Uncle Yu, no need to be so polite! Get up quickly!"
This time, Yu Qingshu only brought his own family, and did not call the two servants, his grandfather and mother-in-law, in order to keep the secret.
Yu Qingshu was somewhat flattered. It was a great honor for him to be able to see the prince. He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest when the prince personally helped him up.
Yuan Xichen was afraid that they would be too reserved, so he continued, "Don't be reserved because of my identity. Just get along with each other as usual.
I came here to thank you for saving my life, so please accept these things."
As soon as Yuan Xichen finished speaking, the guards brought over the things they had brought.
Yu Qingqing took a look and found that these things looked really not cheap. There were osmanthus cakes, almond cakes, four-color crispy candies, and chestnut cakes, a total of five boxes.
There was also a piece of cotton cloth, a piece of coarse linen, a piece of brocade, and a piece of silk satin, which were quite down-to-earth gifts.
There are ten silver notes, each estimated to be worth five hundred taels. This is going to make the Yu family rich overnight, although they are already rich.
There were also some jewelry boxes filled with pearl necklaces, jade bracelets and the like, which made Yu Qingqing's eyes light up.
Yuan Xichen noticed Yu Qingqing's expression and couldn't help but laugh inwardly when he saw the light in her eyes. "It seems she's still a money-grubber. I'll have to give her more gifts in the future."
After reading it, Yu Qingqing quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to stand there obediently like a good girl.
Yu Qingshu felt that the gift was too valuable and wanted to refuse it, but Yu Qingqing pulled his sleeve, forcing him to take back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He smiled awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment. "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. I will accept it. If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can have dinner with me tonight."
Yu Qingshu wanted to be polite. Someone of Yuan Xichen's status would not eat out casually.
Yuan Xichen immediately replied, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Uncle Yu."
The speed was so fast that it seemed as if Yu Qingshu would regret it the next moment.
Then Yuan Xichen turned to Yu Qingqing and asked gently, "I saw Miss Yu was about to go out, where are you going?
If it’s convenient, you can also take me with you. If you need any help, you can tell me.”
Yuan Xichen was also curious about where they were going, and worried that his sudden visit would delay her time.
Yuan Xichen's words reminded Yu Qingqing that the restaurant in the town originally belonged to Yuan Xichen. Since the owner was here, wouldn't it be better to talk to the owner directly?
Yu Qingqing's lips curled up slightly, and there seemed to be a sea of stars in her eyes, "Your Highness, I plan to go digging sweet potatoes with my brother.
I also plan to discuss the sweet potato issue with the restaurant, and I hope Your Highness will listen."
Yu Qingqing spoke directly to the point, which scared Yu Qingshu. He was worried that his daughter had said something wrong.
Yu Qingqing gave him a look, telling him not to worry, and Yu Qingshu didn't say anything.
Yuan Xichen leaned sideways and asked in confusion, "What is a sweet potato? What do you want to discuss? You can talk to me directly. It will be a win-win situation for everyone."
Yuan Xichen had long known that many of the Yu family's businesses were thought up by the woman in front of him, and Yu Qingqing's little ideas always made him feel bright and refreshed.
Yu Qingshu personally went to the next door to get two sweet potatoes, and even cut a fresh sweet potato, put it on a plate and brought it to Yuan Xichen.
Yu Qingshu held the tender white sweet potato in his hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this is a sweet potato. You can try it. It's very delicious. This was also found by my naughty daughter on the hillside behind us."
The white and tender sweet potato chips in front of you make people feel hungry just by looking at them.
Yuan Xichen gently picked up a piece with his bony fingers and put it into his mouth. Immediately, a sweet and delicious juice filled his entire mouth.
The sweet potato tasted crispy and very sweet. After eating one, Yuan Xichen took another.
Yu Qingshu brought over two big sweet potatoes, and Yuan Xichen and his group stared in amazement when they saw them.
He stammered, "Uncle Yu, is this the sweet potato? How come it's so big? It looks like it weighs more than a pound each."
This thing is so delicious, and you guys actually discovered it. How many did you find? Do you still have it now?"
This was the first time Yuan Xichen had seen a grain grow this large. It was truly rare to find something this big and so delicious.
Yu Qingshu naturally didn't keep the secret and said directly: "My dear girl, this is what I want to say. This sweet potato is very productive, and we found a lot of it.
This can be preserved for a long time, and if the restaurant can buy it, it will be a sure-win business."
"Are you serious? Very productive? Take me to see it!"
