However, what made Chi Tang even happier was—
"Father, is Third Brother coming back today?" Chi Tang asked excitedly.
Speaking of which, the busiest person in the Chi family has actually become Chi Sanhe.
His "Gluttony Report" was very successful. He started by paying for the food tastings himself, then paid for people to write his reviews, print the food, and distribute the flyers...
A year later, many businesses began to approach Chi Sanhe, and Taotie Bao became quite well-known.
In the second year, Taotie Daily launched a joint promotional campaign with merchants, allowing customers to use Taotie Daily at restaurants featured in Today's Report to receive a discount.
Once this tactic was introduced, the Taotie Newspaper instantly became a sensation throughout the capital.
He succeeded at the end of the second year after Chi Sanhe went to the capital.
However, as his popularity grew, Chi Sanhe was too busy to handle everything himself and needed to find "taste testers".
Chi Sanhe has very strict requirements for recruiting taste testers.
There are also people specifically tasked with screening the quality of restaurants that proactively approach them. After gaining fame, Chi Sanhe became increasingly strict about the content of Taotie Report.
At the beginning of the third year, Chi Sanhe handed over the management of Taotie in the capital to a trusted person and went to Jiangnan.
It took a year to replicate the success of the Beijing Taotie newspaper in Jiangnan.
After his success in Jiangnan, Chi Sanhe seemed to have become addicted and set his sights on the southwest. However, his aunt wrote to him, demanding that he return home!
The reason is simple: Chi Sanhe is still unmarried! This has become a major worry for Aunt Chi.
However, Chi Erchuan had already passed the imperial examination and was sent to a small county town to serve as an official. The emperor was far away, and Aunt Chi was really out of reach.
Chi Sihai, on the other hand, shifted the blame to Chi Sanhe, arguing about the proper order of seniority, which left Aunt Chi with no choice but to direct her anger at Chi Sanhe.
On the contrary, Old Man Chi has come to terms with it.
The family has no shortage of grandchildren, so let the son do whatever he wants. The main thing is that no one can control him.
Therefore, Old Man Chi is always cheerful.
"Oh dear, daughter, look at you, you're all sweaty. Let me wipe it off for you." Old Man Chi took out a pink handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the sweat from his daughter's brow before replying, "Hmm, I'll be there this afternoon."
Chi Tang called out, "Wei Xin, quickly give me a glass of watermelon juice."
Wei Bo chased after her, shouting, "Sister Wei Xin, I want one too!"
Wei Bo and Wei Xin are Chi Tang's two maids.
Wei Bo is usually lively and gets along best with Chi Tang, so Chi Tang always likes to take Wei Bo with her when she goes out.
In addition, the Chi family was not strict with their servants, which contributed to Wei Bo's increasingly lively personality.
In comparison, Microchip, which is only a few months older than Microblogging, is much more stable.
"Miss, please drink slowly."
Wei Xin brought over watermelon juice and watched Chi Tang gulp it down, feeling a pang of worry. However, turning to Wei Bo, she gave him a cold, stern reprimand:
"It's so sunny outside, and the young lady insisted on going out to play. Didn't you even try to persuade her? At the very least, you should have remembered to hold an umbrella for her!"
Wei Bo didn't listen at all and drank it down in one gulp, just like Chi Tang.
Wei Xin frowned, but handed her a handkerchief, feeling utterly helpless.
"Hehe." Wei Bo grinned foolishly at Wei Xin.
Feeling refreshed after drinking, Chi Tang instinctively called out, "Wei Xin, um..."
"The eldest master has gone to the fields, the eldest young mistress has gone to the restaurant... the sixth young master is playing in the courtyard, and the madam is talking to Matchmaker Wang."
Wei Xin quickly recounted what had happened in the mansion.
Chi Tang chuckled to herself, "Who has my mother chosen?"
"This servant doesn't know, this servant wasn't guarding the madam's courtyard," Wei Xin replied, bowing slightly.
Wei Bo, however, was quite interested and speculated with Chi Tang: "I think it might be the daughter of Old Wang, who sells breakfast on the street ahead. I heard that her husband died just a few days after she got married."
Her in-laws thought she had brought bad luck to someone, so they sent her back. I had breakfast at Uncle Wang's stall and met his daughter; she was quite pretty, capable, and had a pleasant voice..."
"I wonder if she might be the youngest daughter of the owner of Hai's Pharmacy?" Chi Tang guessed.
The master and servant started guessing back and forth, leaving Weixin quite helpless.
Old Man Chi chuckled: "We'll find out when we ask. But I think your mother is worrying unnecessarily. Her son is all grown up, what does he have to worry about? Just take good care of your grandson."
What, can you take care of your son for the rest of your life?
"So you're enjoying your life, Dad, but my mother is no good; she's destined to worry all the time," Chi Tang said casually.
The master and servant exchanged a glance and then quietly ran to the Bamboo Wind Hall. Just as they were about to eavesdrop through the window, they saw Aunt Chi escorting Matchmaker Wang out.
They got caught red-handed!
After seeing off Matchmaker Wang, Aunt Chi came over and grabbed Chi Tang's ear, saying, "Chi Tang! You're a little girl, can't you stop being so naughty?!"
"Hehe, I'm not being naughty at all. I'm just concerned about my third brother's marriage. Where can you find such a good sister like me?"
Chi Tang clung to her aunt's leg and acted coquettishly, which instantly broke down the aunt's defenses, who couldn't maintain a stern face. She poked her daughter's brow and shook her head helplessly.
Then we went inside.
After three years of recuperation, Aunt Chi's health has improved considerably. With no worries to worry about, she looks even younger than she did three years ago.
"Your third brother's marriage is driving me crazy. I wrote to him asking about it, and all he said was that he'd do whatever I wanted. Tell me, if he gets married and his wife sleeps in the same bed with him, and I get to decide everything, is that reasonable?"
Aunt Chi sat down, picked up her tea leaves, and took a sip.
If we're talking about the biggest change in Aunt Chi, it's probably her love of tea.
When the family first became wealthy, they would prepare some fine tea to entertain guests. However, neither Aunt Chi nor Uncle Chi were used to drinking tea.
But gradually, Aunt Chi actually started to like drinking it.
On the contrary, Old Man Chi still doesn't like to drink it.
Chi Tang picked up the fruit plate on the table and ate it with a toothpick. Then she muttered, "An'an and Si Lang are already so old. Why are you still worried about Third Brother? You should worry about Fifth Brother instead."
Speaking of Xiao Wu, Aunt Chi has an even bigger headache.
This child said three years ago that he didn't want to study anymore. Well then, you should see what you like to do. But you can go to Chi Sihai's place; he doesn't like it.
Later, she worked at the restaurant with Sister-in-law Chi for two days, but she also said she didn't like it.
I just don't like doing business.
Then you'll get out of bed?
I like it even less now.
Join the army?
I'm not interested.
There are 365 professions. In the past three years, Brother Wu has tried almost 360 professions, but he still hasn't found one that interests him.
So, a month ago, I went on a trip with some friends from town and a few teachers!
Scholars travel to broaden their horizons, which greatly benefits their examinations, but he went there purely for fun!
Aunt Chi was exhausted: "Of all your brothers, apart from your eldest brother, I don't know which one I worry about the most!"
But what worried Aunt Chi even more was yet to come!
Because Chi Sanhe brought back—?
