The local gentry cheered again, then gave gifts and entered the restaurant to eat and drink.
Mr. Gu led his eldest son Gu Changde and second son Gu Changlin to entertain everyone. As for Gu Changsheng, the Gu family was reluctant to let him work hard, so they asked him to accompany the guests for drinking and arranged a separate room for him to rest.
He asked the shopkeeper to serve the dishes himself and handed the note Xia Qianqian left yesterday to Gu Changsheng: "Third Young Master, this is the note that Miss Xia, who sold the wild boar yesterday, left for you."
Xia Qianqian
Gu Changsheng took the note and unfolded it: You must be well, I'll wait for your good news.
Is she worried about him? Gu Changsheng felt distressed for a moment, put the note into his sleeve, and shouted unhappily: "You left it yesterday, why are you telling me now?"
Because he didn't reply in time, she worried all day and all night!
Shopkeeper Liu said carefully: "The Third Young Master was busy, so I didn't dare interrupt..."
"If you have anything belonging to Miss Xia in the future, you must hand it over to her immediately." Qing Tong said to Manager Liu.
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and waited for instructions.
Gu Changsheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What else is there to eat in the kitchen? I mean what's ready-made."
"The dishes were prepared very early, especially the big pot of braised wild boar meat!"
"Pack the food for a table according to the standard for a banquet and pack it carefully in food boxes." Gu Changsheng said.
"yes."
Shopkeeper Liu went down to prepare, and Qing Tong asked cleverly, "Master, I'll go deliver it later!"
"Yeah. Go tell her I'm fine."
"good."
… … …
The dining area for the women was separated by a screen, and the wives and daughters of the gentry all came. The wives vied to talk to Mrs. Gu, and the daughters all dressed up and tried hard to show their presence in front of Mrs. Gu.
"Mrs. Gu, congratulations, the Third Young Master is finally cured."
"Yes, I saw that the Third Young Master was in very good spirits today. He was truly handsome and elegant!"
"Aiya, Madam Gu, now that the Third Young Master is well, you should also consider a marriage for him. My youngest daughter, Yulan, is about the same age as the Third Young Master..."
Han Yuqing sat beside Mrs. Gu, her eyes wandering around, and soon found the blushing Miss Yulan. She sneered in her heart: How dare you covet my third cousin when you are so ugly
"Mrs. Gu, my daughter Qin'er is coming of age this year..."
"My Xiaofeng has met the Third Young Master several times. Madam Gu, do you still remember him?"
"… "
In the past, Gu Changsheng had no market, and all those who wanted to marry him went to the second son, Gu Changlin. But now it's different, he has recovered from his illness, he is no longer stupid! And he is much more handsome than Gu Changlin! Just based on his demeanor when cutting the ribbon today, it is enough to make the ladies' hearts flutter.
The celebration banquet at the restaurant was almost turning into a blind date party. Han Yuqing was annoyed by them and after sitting for a while, she found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.
"Xing'er, where is your third cousin?" Han Yuqing asked.
Xing Er pointed ahead: "In the private room."
"Who are the people in his room?"
"There's only the Third Young Master. But..." Rui'er hesitated for a moment and advised, "Miss, let's not go over there."
The third young master was particularly disrespectful and every time the young ladies made themselves look bad, making the servants feel awkward.
Han Yuqing stopped her longing steps after hearing this. She had just been scolded by her third cousin yesterday, so she didn't have the courage to go there today.
Just then, she saw Manager Liu and Qing Tong coming out one after the other. She was puzzled and told Xing'er, "Go and take a look."
"yes."
