Chapter 412 2 The old man's condition has improved
As soon as Qiao Jianer's carriage stopped, he heard messy footsteps coming closer and closer.
As soon as he got off the carriage, a figure flew out and hugged him tightly in his arms.
"You're here. You're finally here. I was afraid you wouldn't come." Old Madam Chu's voice trembled a little.
After the first time, there will be a second time, a third time, a future, and hope.
"Grandma, how could we not come? We come every month." Qiao Lianer was infected by the old lady's emotions and felt warm in her heart.
There are calculations and sinister things in this world, but there is also a lot of warmth and beauty.
Old Master Chu also pulled Qiao Yunni's sleeve and chattered non-stop.
Was the journey smooth? What did you eat? How long did you rest? Was the bumpy carriage uncomfortable?
After living for decades, this is the first time that the old man has become a chatterbox.
Qiao Lian'er took a good look at the two old men. Perhaps because they ate well and slept well, their dry cheeks became much plumper and glowed with red. There was also a gleam in their eyes, and their whole body had a different spirit.
Just now, when Old Madam Chu ran out, her gait was much steadier.
They finally look like an official and his wife.
This is the state she wants to see.
In the hall, a table full of delicious dishes had been set out. Seeing the more than a dozen dazzling dishes, Qiao Jianer and Qiao Yunni looked at each other.
"Mom, you made so many dishes. How can we finish them?"
There were only four people sitting at the table.
"It's for the sake of reunion and celebration. It doesn't matter if we can't finish the food." Old Lady Chu said as she put food into the two people's bowls.
"This chopped pepper fish head and this roast duck are both famous dishes in our Yuezhou City. It's perfect for you to each get a duck leg."
"Here, hairy crabs, one for each of you."
"This is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Grandpa, serve them in a bowl."
Old Master Chu responded and brought two bowls. In a blink of an eye, the two bowls were also full.
"Come on, there are also Four Joy Meatballs, Longjing Shrimp, and Squirrel Fish—"
Soon, the food in their bowls was piled up like a mountain.
"I've invited a famous chef today. If the food suits your taste, I'll let him stay."
Seeing that there was really no more room in the bowl, Mrs. Chu put down her chopsticks and said with a loving look on her face.
What else can Qiao Jianer and Qiao Yunni say? Eat.
The food made by famous chefs is indeed different, and every dish is so delicious.
After being hungry for a day, the mother and daughter ate with relish.
The two elders saw it and were happy in their hearts.
Madam Chu then instructed, "Ask Chef Fang to prepare eighteen different kinds of dim sum. My daughter and granddaughter will eat them after dinner."
"Mom, there's no need to waste food like this. Even if you're full, you won't be able to eat much." Qiao Yunni said hurriedly.
Qiao Jianer was also a little worried. Could her stomach bear it today?
"If you can't finish it, let the servants eat it. This is your first time here, it's different." Old Madam Chu was very determined.
"Nier, Jian'er, ever since we met, the old man has been full of energy and is no longer confused in handling official business. He even received a commendation from Master Tu."
"Master Tu said that if this continues, in three months, the old man will be promoted to Gongcao, responsible for the selection and assessment of subordinates, and will report directly to Master Tu. This is much better than before."
Mr. Chu's face was a little serious: "Madam, don't say anything that has not been decided. The future depends on chance."
She was afraid that her daughter and granddaughter would have high expectations and be disappointed if they failed.
Madam Chu glanced at Mr. Chu and said, "We are all family. No one else will hear us. Don't be afraid."
She knew what Mr. Chu was thinking: "Whether it comes true or not, as long as I have a clear conscience."
Old Master Chu deeply agreed with this. He worked diligently at his job and considered himself an upright person. He would leave the rest to fate.
After dinner, Old Madam Chu took the mother and daughter to the east wing.
"I've already arranged a room for you. You'll live here from now on."
The rooms are the first two in the east wing. They are very large and spacious, and come with their own study and bathroom.
"Yes, Lanier, I plan to hire a teacher to teach you how to read. What do you think?"
Old Madam Chu felt sorry. If Qiao Yunni had not been abducted by her enemies, she would have been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and married into an official family of equal status. The couple would have lived in harmony, and there would not have been such twists and turns.
Although the enemy has been dealt with and dismissed from office and exiled, the consequences will take a long time to heal.
"Mom, Jianer taught me how to read. I'm learning every day."
Old Madam Chu was surprised, but then she thought, yes, Jianer is a little prodigy, so he is naturally familiar with reading and writing.
"Then hire an etiquette teacher to teach you the music and chess." Madam Chu said, "It's not that you have to learn these, but it can help you pass the time when you're bored."
Qiao Yunni nodded.
Everyone gathered in the living room for snacks. Old Master Chu said, "The marriage between your cousin and Miss Gao has been finalized, but it's a little long in the tooth, about three months from now."
"When the time comes, all the Qiao family members will come and have fun together."
I just hope he can find a job and it will be more respectable by then.
Madam Chu said, "I bought a shop a while ago to sell medicinal herbs. Tomorrow you will follow me and learn how to manage it."
The family business will be inherited by my daughters and granddaughters in the future, so they must be familiar with it.
Qiao Jianer asked, "How is business?"
Madam Chu kept a smile on her face: "It has just begun. As time goes by, it will become lively."
Even so, a hint of loss flashed across his eyes.
It has been more than half a month and there has been no improvement. She is a little worried about the future.
Qiao Lianer knew that business was slow.
As for medicinal herbs, a batch has just grown up in her space, and they are advanced species, which are more effective in curing diseases and strengthening the body.
Since Madam Chu is in the medicinal materials business, why doesn't she take this opportunity to promote the medicinal materials?
In fact, the goods that Old Madam Chu bought from others had passed through countless middlemen, and she could only make a very small profit. She didn't know when she would be able to earn enough to buy a shop.
Madam Chu continued, "I have learned pharmacology from a doctor since I was a child. I am interested in this field, so I want to sell medicinal herbs."
If she was interested in something and studied it specifically, Qiao Lian'er thought, she wouldn't have to worry about Old Madam Chu having difficulty remembering medicinal herbs.
Now that the line is out of service, her supplies can no longer be transported to all directions like before, and her plan to expand her industry in Yuezhou has to be temporarily shelved.
Then, let’s help the Chu family set up the medicine shop first.
Late at night, Qiao Lian'er lay on the bed, touching her round belly, sighing in her heart, wondering how long it would take to digest all this.
The three-day appointment was up, and as the clock struck midnight, she took out the letter from her sleeve and placed her palm on it.
