Gu Yuzhi cupped her face in her hands and nodded: "Yes."
Although Xie Changshi and the others did not say it explicitly, Gu Yuzhi thought about it and eventually thought of the third prince, the King of Chu.
Behind Li Ji Trading Company stands a prince, and Li Yanping's trip to Jiangnan last time already speaks volumes about the identity of the owner of Li Ji Trading Company.
He just hadn't thought about it that way before.
He just wanted to live a peaceful and carefree life as a prince, traveling around and enjoying the delicacies of various places in the Sang Dynasty, and then bring his mother over when he came of age.
But now it seems that this idea cannot be realized in the short term.
Gu Yuzhi was depressed for several days and had no interest in the Qinli Inn. In any case, he and Xie Changshi had reached a consensus that they would not work at the Qinli Inn again.
It just so happened that Gu Yuzhi was on leave that day, and he was excitedly preparing to take Xueye out. But before he even saw her, he heard Qi Chenglang's hearty laughter.
He tilted his head and calculated the time. It seemed that Guard Qi hadn't been away for very long this time. How come he was back so soon?
After a hasty bow upon entering, Qi Chenglang spoke without waiting for Gu Yuzhi to ask, "Your Highness, congratulations!"
He glanced to the side and asked, "Where is Granny Xu? Your Highness, please invite Granny Xu over here as well."
Gu Yuzhi blinked and looked at Guard Qi, who had been grinning from ear to ear since he entered the room, clearly in a very good mood.
He nodded, and a servant hurried to call for Granny Xu: "Guard Qi, what great joy has come?"
Could it be that my elder brother has bestowed another reward upon me?
That shouldn't be the case.
Even when the Emperor gave him a reward before, I didn't see Guard Qi this happy.
He scratched his head, and then heard the guard Qi say, "Consort Liang and the ladies of the palace have sent you a total of ten looms! They are currently outside Changzhou City. I've come to inform you that we will be heading to Xinliang soon."
Gu Yuzhi jumped off the chair, tilted his head back, and raised his voice: "Ten looms? Did my sisters-in-law send them to me?"
Although Vice Minister Su had promised to send him a loom, he thought that Vice Minister Su was just a minister, and judging from what Chief Clerk Xie said, Vice Minister Su's family wasn't very wealthy...
A loom is not cheap, so he was too embarrassed to actually let Vice Minister Su send it to him. Therefore, he specially asked Guard Zhang to tell Vice Minister Su to talk to his brother about the loom.
Teacher Shu and Manager Wen both said that the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes was a great contribution to the people of Sangchao. He even secretly thought that it wouldn't be too much to exchange a few looms with his brother.
Who knew that the Emperor would bestow gold and other gifts upon us...
He thought that because of Minister Su's meticulous nature, he really intended to deliver it himself.
Who knew it was all from my sisters-in-law! Ten of them!
Gu Yuzhi had the same expression as Qi Chenglang at this moment, his mouth stretched so wide it almost reached behind his ears.
Those cotton and hemp stalks can finally be put to good use!
Once the cotton cloth is woven, he will give it to his mother, his brother, and his sisters-in-law first, especially his sisters-in-law. They will be very happy to wear the cloth woven on the loom he gave them.
Gu Yuzhi sat back down, her little feet swinging gently.
Seeing the young prince like this, Qi Chenglang was in an even better mood. He turned around and saw that Xu Mama had also arrived, and he smiled even more happily: "Your Highness, for the next matter, we must not only congratulate you, but also congratulate Xu Mama."
Gu Yuzhi and Granny Xu exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered.
Is there anything else I want to congratulate you on?
In Teacher Shu's words, his CPU is almost completely drained!
He glanced at Granny Xu, then thought about what Qi Chenglang had said, and suddenly jumped off the chair, waving his hand and saying, "Guard Qi, don't say anything yet, let me think about it, okay!"
Gu Yuzhi imitated Xie Changshi, walking around the room with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said, "Haha, I know, is it Xu Mama's family who have arrived?"
What happy event is simultaneously related to both myself and Granny Xu?
After thinking it over, he realized that they were just Xu Mama's family members.
Since entering the palace with her mother, Xu Mama has not seen her family again.
Now that I've just taken over the Qinli Inn, and Xu Mama's family is here, wouldn't I have a head chef?
Gu Yuzhi thought he was really too smart!
Qi Chenglang nodded approvingly and said with great certainty, "Your Highness is so clever! It really is Xu Mama's family who have come. Your Highness has no idea how coincidental it is, the Xu family works at Consort Shu's gourmet estate."
"The Consort Shu especially liked the sweet potatoes you sent this time. Knowing that you wanted to open an inn, she specially had the Xu family members sent over!"
Xu Chenglang scratched the back of his head and said, "It was just a coincidence. I ran into the escort agency on my way to deliver the goods, so I came back with them."
He was right!
Gu Yuzhi had no idea how to describe his joyful feelings at that moment.
He really wanted to jump around in the room, but Chief Secretary Xie said that he was a prince and needed to be more composed, otherwise the servants might have other ideas.
Gu Yuzhi understood that he was young, and the new servants in the mansion were all suppressed by Xie Changshi and others. If it weren't for them, over time, there would definitely be cases of servants becoming too powerful and bullying their masters.
His mother often talked to him about these things, so he really controlled himself...
After a while, Gu Yuzhi asked, "Where are the Xu family members? They shouldn't need to go to Xinliang, right? Have they entered the manor?"
He looked up and saw Xu Mama's tears streaming down her face. His smile froze on his face, and he murmured, "Xu Mama..."
Xu Mama hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "Your Highness, this old servant is just a little happy. This old servant hasn't seen her family for more than thirty years."
Who would have thought that after most of my life had passed, I would one day be reunited with my family!
Granny Xu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Gu Yuzhi: "This old servant thanks Your Highness!"
Gu Yuzhi quickly stepped forward to help Xu Mama up, and smiled again: "If Xu Mama wants to thank anyone, she should thank Consort Shu. It was Consort Shu who sent them over."
He shook his head: "I also want to thank Consort Shu."
The inn is still closed. Guard Shen and Manager Mu have contacted a few suitable candidates, but the reason they haven't made a decision is that it's really hard to find a head chef.
Consort Shu sent the Xu family over, which immediately solved his biggest problem!
"Granny Xu, please stop crying! This is a good thing!"
Xu Mama nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with tears, but the smile on her face was genuine, full of joy: "Your Highness is right, this is a good thing, this old servant should be happy!"
Only after Xu Mama calmed down did Chief Secretary Xie say softly, "If the Xu family arrives, invite them in to meet His Highness. After they have met His Highness, Xu Mama can catch up with them."
Granny Xu nodded repeatedly.
Then Xie Changshi instructed, "The Xu family has just arrived in the northern desert and there are many things they don't know. You must explain these things to them clearly."
Especially the relationship between the Wen family and His Highness...
