Chapter 176 The Young Master is Overjoyed

Chu Yichen didn't like to go out and visit relatives, and he stayed in the Chu Mansion most of the time during the New Year. He would send his servants to Zuixianju every day to see if his younger brother Shanbo had come to see him.

Because Qianhuan had already agreed with Chu Yichen that she would go to Zuixianju to collect her share of the profits at the end of the year, but she has not gone to collect it yet, and Qianhuan has not returned to the teahouse in the past few days.

I haven't seen my little brother Shanbo for a long time. On the fourth day of the New Year, Chu Yichen finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He took several tens of thousands of taels of silver as his share, brought some gifts, and asked the driver to drive to Yunfeng Village.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of children playing outside gathered around us.

"Yuanji, get off the car and ask Shanbo where his home is."

"Yes, Master."

Yuanji held up the candy in his hand and asked the children: "Whoever can tell me where Liang Shanbo's home is, I will give him the candy in my hand."

The children all looked up at the candy in Yuanji's hand with longing, but unfortunately they had never heard of a person named Liang Shanbo in the village.

Seeing that no one said anything, Yuanji continued to ask, "Where is Liang Shanbo's home? Don't any of you know?"

"There are several families with the surname Liang in our village, but there is no one named Liang Shanbo," said one of the children.

Yuanji returned to the carriage disappointed.

Chu Yichen also heard the noise outside. He lifted the curtain and asked the driver, "Last time when Shanbo and his brother went out to drink, you sent the two brothers back to Yunfeng Village, right?"

"Master, yes, that young master Liang lives in this village."

Thinking of the name of his sister that Shanbo wrote on the contract last time, he said to Yuanji, "Yuanji, get off the car and ask these children if there is anyone named Liang Qianhuan in the village?"

When Yuanji asked, all the children surrounding the carriage eagerly rushed to tell others, "I know where Sister Qianhuan lives."

"I know that too. I know that too. I can take you there."

So Chu Yichen asked Yuanji to give each of the children a few candies, and the group of children trotted the Chu family's carriage to Liang Laoer's house.

At Liang Laoer's house, the servants were busy in the kitchen, Wenjie was reviewing his lessons in the study, and Tu Dou was accompanying him.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qianhuan got up and walked towards the gate.

Qianhuan did not deliberately dress up as a man at home. She opened the door with her waist-length hair loose and wearing a plain white dress.

When the gate opened and she saw clearly that the people standing outside were Chu Yichen and Yuan Ji, she was stunned, "Brother Lin'an, why is it you?"

Originally, Chu Yichen looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he didn't react at all for a moment.

When he heard the other party accurately call out his courtesy name in that soft voice, he froze in place.

He asked uncertainly: "Brother Shanbo? So you are a woman?"

Yuan Ji, who was following behind Chu Yichen, was holding a gift in his hand. He also had a confused look on his face. No way, he didn't expect that this young master Liang was actually a woman.

Qianhuan explained with an awkward look on her face: "Brother Lin'an, I'm sorry, actually my real name is Liang Qianhuan, I don't have a sister at home, because it's inconvenient for a woman to go out, so I disguised myself as a man, you won't be angry with me, will you?"

"Brother Shanbo...Oh, no, it's Miss Qianhuan. I'm not angry, I'm really not angry at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy." Chu Yichen looked excited. It turned out that the brother Shanbo he liked was a girl. This was simply God's blessing on him. It was great.

Qianhuan was confused. She had deceived Brother Lin'an, but he was actually very happy?

Qianhuan led the group into the house, and Liu shouted at the top of her voice, "Qianhuan, who's here?"

"Mom, this is Master Chu from Zuixianju, whom you have met before."

When Liu went out, she saw that it was indeed the young master of Zuixianju. She quickly invited him in and said, "Young master, please come in and sit down. I'll go get you some tea."

Chu Yichen was still in a daze, still immersed in the joy that Shanbo's little brother was a girl.

That’s great, that’s great, little brother Shanbo turned out to be a girl. He had been thinking about how to tell his family that he fell in love with a man, but now it’s easy.

Liang Lao Er also came out to say hello, and Qianhuan introduced the two to each other.

At this time, Liu made a cup of sesame bean ginger tea for Chu Yichen. Chu Yichen asked Yuanji to hand the gift to Liu and Liang Laoer, "Uncle, aunt, this is my first visit, and this is a gift for you."

Liu said embarrassedly: "Master Chu, you are too polite. Why do you bring gifts when you come to visit?"

"Yes, Young Master, we feel embarrassed that you are so polite." Liang Lao Er also spoke.

"Uncle, aunt, this is a token of Yi Chen's love, please accept it."

"Okay, Young Master, you must have lunch at our house today. You can chat with Qianhuan first. I will go and prepare lunch with the servants."

"Okay, thank you very much, aunt." Chu Yichen originally planned to give his share of the silver and go home, but now that he knew Shanbo's little sister was a girl, he wanted to stay for dinner. He just wanted to stay with her for a while longer.

As she said that, Liu went to the kitchen. Seeing Liang Laoer still standing in the room, she pulled him to the kitchen to help. Liu knew that Liang Laoer was not good at speaking and was afraid that he would offend the nobleman because of his poor speaking ability.

"Brother Lin'an, today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Why are you coming to our house?"

"I came here specially to give you the share of the silver. Didn't you say that you would go to Zuixianju to get the silver at the end of the year? Why haven't you gone yet?"

"Something happened at home, and I was so busy that I forgot about it. Thank you, Brother Lin'an, for sending it here personally."

Chu Yichen handed over tens of thousands of taels of silver notes as he spoke, "We have a total of 48 branches in Zuixianju. The total revenue this month has more than doubled. The average revenue of a store is 5,000 taels. The 48 stores have a total profit of 240,000 taels. You account for 30% of the revenue, which is a total of 72,000 taels. Miss Qianhua, please count it."

Qianhuan took the banknote with a look of excitement. After coming to the ancient times for so long, this was the first time she had earned so much money. She was one step closer to her goal of becoming a wealthy woman.

She said, "Brother Lin'an, there's no need to count. We are friends. I trust you."

When Chu Yichen heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He didn't expect that Miss Qianhuan trusted him so much.

Qianhuan added, "Brother Linan, Zuixianju also does breakfast business. I have a more profitable breakfast recipe here. If Brother Linan is willing to split the profits 40% to 60%, I will give you the recipe. If Brother Linan is not willing, I will keep the recipe and open my own breakfast shop in the future."

In fact, what Qianhuan was talking about was the colorful vegetable dumplings she made last time. She believed that she could make a fortune with these vegetable dumplings. These colorful vegetable dumplings were not only popular in ancient times, but also in modern times, because they are green, healthy, and colorful. Many people like to eat them.

"Miss Qianhuan, I do."

The main reason why Chu Yichen agreed so readily was that since they decided to cooperate with Qianhuan, Miss Qianhuan had indeed more than doubled the business of their restaurant. Previously, the profit of each store in their restaurant was only about 2 taels per month, and the total profit of 48 stores was only 9 taels.

Although Qianhuan took away 16.8% of the profits now, they themselves could still get taels of profit, which was much more than the total profit in the past.

The second reason was that he had already made up his mind to marry Qianhuan. Not to mention a 40:60 split, he would even let her manage all the family property as long as Qianhuan was willing to marry him.

"Brother Lin'an, since you are willing, let's sign a new contract."

"it is good."

Qianhuan asked Tudou to get paper and pen from Wenjie's room, and the two signed the contract again.

"Miss Qianhuan, when will your teahouse open?"

"I plan to officially open the business on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Brother Lin'an is invited to attend then."

"Okay, I'll go then.

After chatting for a while, Liu's meal was ready.

During the meal, Liu kept serving food to Chu Yichen, "Young Master, the dishes we make in this country are just home-cooked dishes, which can't compare to the delicacies from the mountains and seas made in big restaurants like Zuixianju. You just have to make do with what you have."

"Aunt, after eating so much delicacies from land and sea, eating this home-cooked dish will taste even better."

"Then eat more if you like."

"Okay, Auntie."

After finishing the meal, Young Master Chu invited Qianhuan to go for a walk on the street. "Miss Qianhuan, you have nothing to do at home. Why don't you go for a walk on the street with me, your brother?"

"Okay." Qianhuan was indeed bored staying at home.

"Wenjie, I'll take you for a walk in the street. I can buy you some cloth and some cotton wool and ask the servants to make you some new cotton-padded clothes."

"I'm not going. I want to review my lessons at home." Wenjie is now focusing all his attention on studying.

"Studying should also focus on combining work and rest. You have only recovered for two days, so you can't study too hard. Come on, go to the street with your sister and take a walk to get some fresh air."

"Ok."

Qianhuan touched his head with a smile, and said that she should take the child out for walks more often so that he could get over the pain of losing his loved ones faster.

"Qianhuan, please keep an eye on Wenjie when you go to the county town. There are a lot of scammers who kidnap and sell children around here." Liu still couldn't change her worrying nature.

"Mom, I understand. Don't worry, Young Master Chu is with me, everything will be okay." Qianhuan comforted Liu while climbing onto the carriage.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Qianhuan and Wenjie."

"Are you coming back for dinner?" Liu asked again.

"Mom, I won't be back for dinner, you guys can eat by yourselves."

Qianhuan turned around and playfully said to Chu Yichen, "Brother Lin'an, I will go to your Zuixianju for dinner tonight."

"Okay, no problem." Chu Yichen was eager to get it.

The Chu family's coachman cracked the whip and the carriage set off towards the county town.
