Chapter 368 Take You Home
That day, Yu Qinghuan stayed until the evening before leaving. When she left, Du Yunxiao wanted to send her back, but because he was still pretending to be sick, he could only watch her leave from afar at the back door.
He lowered his eyes to look at his hands, and thinking about what had just happened, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Xiao Jinghe, even if you try to stop me, Huanhuan is not just yours.
...
Sang Ru followed Yu Qinghuan. The master and servant sneaked out of the general's mansion from the back door, turned into another alley, and got on the carriage.
The carriage went around two alleys before entering the main street and stopped at the back door of Fuyan Tower.
When she saw Yu Qinghuan, Yunniang immediately ordered someone to prepare good wine and delicious food and send them to the private room.
During the meal, Yunniang said, "Young Master Zheng has come several times since you were away. He always waits for a long time before leaving. I told him you wouldn't be coming for a while, but he still comes and waits."
She couldn't understand. Since he wanted to see the shopkeeper, why didn't Young Master Zheng go directly to the Yu Mansion to find someone?
In fact, it was not that Zheng Qibai did not want to go to Yu Mansion to look for someone, but the guards at the gate of Yu Mansion would not let him in, so he could not get in at all.
Moreover, he only found out later that Yu Qinghuan had entered the palace.
Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly, "I understand. Just treat him as if he's here for dinner and treat him normally."
Yunniang nodded in agreement.
Sang Ru, who was beside her, flipped through the account book and said happily, "Miss, our income last month was more than the previous two months."
It was originally thought that officials who had suffered losses once would not come again, but now, many people come to Fuyanlou specifically for banquets and choose expensive dishes to please their superiors.
Yunniang smiled and said, "Now our restaurant's business is even better than Xifenglou's. Many of Xifenglou's regular customers now only come to Fuyanlou."
Yu Qinghuan glanced at the account book and looked at Yunniang, "Your food is delicious, so they will definitely come."
Yunniang waved her hands repeatedly, "My cooking skills are nothing, it's all thanks to you, the shopkeeper."
She knew in her heart that no matter how good her cooking skills were, they were just icing on the cake in Fuyanlou. The reason why this restaurant's business was so good was because of the power behind Yu Qinghuan.
Most of those guests came to curry favor with the current cabinet minister, and that cabinet minister, Cheng, was a close friend of Manager Yu.
Therefore, even without himself as the head chef, the business of Fuyanlou will still be good.
Since the shopkeeper didn't mention this, she didn't mention it either. But she was still grateful to the shopkeeper for giving her the opportunity to stay in the capital. Now her daughter is doing well in the Zheng family private school.
Manager Yu is a great benefactor to her.
Yu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you 10% of last month's profit."
Hearing this, Yunniang was stunned and quickly refused, "How can this be..."
Yu Qinghuan said slowly, "A rented house is not your own home after all. I'll take the money and buy a house in the capital to live in."
She thought that as long as someone was loyal to her and worked diligently for her, she would not treat them unfairly.
Besides, Yunniang helped him a lot with various chores in the restaurant, so this was what he deserved.
When Yunniang heard this, she immediately knelt down in front of Yu Qinghuan, her eyes slightly red. She really wanted to buy a house in Beijing and settle down with her daughter. The rented house never felt like home.
But land in Beijing is very expensive and I can’t afford to buy a house with the money I have.
She hadn't expected that Shopkeeper Yu would even think of this for her, and she was immediately moved. "I will definitely repay your kindness!"
Yu Qinghuan signaled to Sang Ru with his eyes, and Sang Ru immediately stepped forward and helped Yun Niang up.
"I told you that as long as you follow me, I won't treat you unfairly. Just take care of Fuyan Tower for me from now on."
Yunniang: "I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Watching Yunniang leave the private room, Sang Ru looked envious. It was great that she could buy a house in Beijing and settle down.
Yu Qinghuan glanced at Sang Ru from the side, and the corner of his mouth turned up slightly, "Are you jealous?"
Having her thoughts exposed, Sang Ru's ears turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. She chuckled and said, "I am a little envious. It feels so good to have a home."
Although it is nice to follow the girl, she actually wants a home too.
Especially after seeing the little girl's birth, during those days in the Cheng Mansion, watching the little girl and Cheng Ge Lao having so much fun together...
She also wanted a child and a home.
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that Sang Ru should have a family, but he had never heard her mention it over the years, and he didn't know whether she had gone back to look for her family.
She had never asked about it for so long. After all, those who were sold into the mansion and signed a death contract at that age were either from families that were so poor that they could not make ends meet, or their families did not treat their daughters as human beings.
"Sang Ru, have you ever gone back to visit your family in all these years?"
Sang Ru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, you are my only family member, and now I have a little girl as well."
Yu Qinghuan stopped asking questions and took her hand. "Don't worry, I've already prepared the money and dowry for you. It's all yours, no more, no less."
Sang Ru was moved, but also felt sad.
She had never told the girl that when she was less than six years old, her mother ran away with another man, and she was sold to the Yu Mansion by her father for only two taels of silver.
She knew the way and secretly ran back to check. She found that the man took two taels of silver, married another wife, and had a son.
Even though she was young, she understood everything she needed to understand. From then on, she never went back to see her parents and just thought of herself as an orphan.
But sometimes she was grateful that she met the girl in this life, that she could depend on the girl, and that the girl treated her like family.
Sang Ru thought for a moment, raised her hand and swore, "Miss, I will never leave you in this life!"
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's going on in your head? Since you want a family, if you find someone you like, it's fine to get married. But you have to choose carefully, you can't just marry anyone you find."
Sang Ru: "I understand."
She would not marry unless she found a man who was an official or had a lot of money.
However, Yu Qinghuan meant that Sang Ru should follow her heart and at least choose someone she likes. She never expected that Sang Ru wanted to find a man who could help her.
...
When Fuyanlou closed, Yu Qinghuan took Sang Ru out through the back door, and the coachman stood by, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Sang Ru helped Yu Qinghuan into the carriage. When she opened the curtain, Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Why are you here?"
Cheng Gongjin was sitting in the carriage. When the moonlight shone in, he extended his hand to Yu Qinghuan and said, "I'll take you back home."
Yu Qinghuan couldn't hide the joy on her face, and immediately put her hand on his palm.
Cheng Gongjin immediately held her hand and pulled her into his arms and sat down.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan realized that Cheng Gongjin was wearing the purple official robe that he hadn't worn in a year...
