Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 502: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (24)

Only Fu Huaiying could eat this meal.

After Zhao Su led the two children out of Hexiangyuan, Hongxiu told Fu Huaiying the news she had just received.

"The owner of the Changle Restaurant is just an ordinary businessman who lives in Guangdefang. In addition to the restaurant, he also runs a clothing store and sells cloth." Hongxiu said:

"Before the haunting incident, Changle Restaurant was doing very well. The owner they hired was very good at business and was always smiling. I've never heard of him offending anyone."

"None of the restaurants on that street are doing as well as Changle Restaurant. Many of them have even closed down in recent years!"

At this time, Hongling came in from outside and bowed to Fu Huaiying: "Madam, there is a man outside who wants to see you."

Fu Huaiying said, "Have someone wait for a moment. Hongxiu, help me with my makeup."

...

After Zhao Su sent the two children back to Chengxinyuan, three quail calls were heard outside the window.

Zhao Su avoided being seen and heard, walked out of Chengxin Courtyard, and came to a hidden garden. A black-clothed guard fell from the sky and landed behind Zhao Su.

"Is there any result?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, there is nothing unusual at the moment."

Zhao Su put his hands behind his back and rubbed the tip of his index finger with his thumb.

No abnormalities at the moment.

She voluntarily handed over the household expenses, and it was she who caused the trouble and got Zhao Ying into trouble.

"Understood, you go down."

A leaf fell from the tree, and Zhao Su walked out from the shadows of the trees.

Soon he stopped.

Because he saw Fu Huaiying's figure.

Hongxiu was in front, holding a lantern to light the way. She walked quickly through the bushes.

She was wearing thin pajamas just now, but now she has changed into casual clothes and combed her hair.

Zhao Su saw that she was heading towards a side door.

There are three doors in the mansion: the main door, the side door and the side door. Generally, the side door is the door used by the servants in the mansion.

Zhao Su thought that she had been leaving the house quite frequently recently.

Frowning, Zhao Su followed secretly.

...

From the beginning, Fu Huaiying noticed that someone was following him.

The other person's steps were very light, he was a trained martial artist.

There are not many martial artists in the mansion, and Fu Huaiying thought of Zhao Su almost instantly.

...But why was this guy following her secretly for no reason?

Fu Huaiying pretended not to know and walked all the way to the side door, where the broker was already waiting.

"I didn't know that Madam was the Marquis' wife. I have offended you. I hope Madam Marquis will forgive me."

"What's the matter with me?"

"Madam, I'm telling you the truth. The owner of the Changle Restaurant has offended someone and is in a hurry to sell the shop. I've sent you here to tell you that the deal is five hundred taels, and I'll also give you a copy of the wine yeast document."

"Who did you offend?"

"The owner of Wanfulou." The broker said, "Even I don't know who the owner of Wanfulou is. I only know that he is a powerful figure in the capital, and ordinary people can't afford to offend him easily."

The dim light from the lantern shone on Fu Huaiying's face, but the warm light made it impossible to see her expression.

Zhao Su stood in the dark, looking at her profile.

After not hearing Fu Huaiying's reply for a long time, the broker thought the deal was going to fail.

After a long pause, Fu Huaiying asked, "Did you bring the purchase documents and the land deed?"

The broker was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I have it, I have it! Madam, do you want to stamp it now?" He took out the document, which was only short of being stamped.

Fu Huaiying glanced at Hongxiu, and Hongxiu immediately took out her personal seal and handed it to Fu Huaiying.

The seal was stamped, the documents were submitted, and the land deed was exchanged for a silver note of five hundred taels.

This shop now belongs to Fu Huaiying.

The broker said, "Tomorrow I will take the documents to the government office to register. Madam, please send a servant to go with me."

"No need, I believe you."

Fu Huaiying asked Hongxiu to give him a gold leaf.

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!" The broker was very happy. "Once I have finished this matter, I will tell you."

"Remember to keep your mouth shut. If the news leaks out, you'll be held responsible."

Only then did Zhao Su realize that Fu Huaiying was buying a shop.

Why did she suddenly want to buy a shop? She wanted to open a restaurant?

He was also doing business at a side door late at night.

After Fu Huaiying and Hongxiu left, Zhao Su walked out from the darkness.

...

The next afternoon, the broker brought a message saying that the property had been registered with the government.

After buying the shop, Fu Huaiying was not in a hurry to renovate and open it, but instead sent someone to secretly find the former owner of Changle Restaurant.

The shopkeeper's name was Lu Xuyuan. He was thirty-four or thirty-five years old but had never married. He had two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Fu Huaiying specially found a time to invite people to the private room of Wanfulou, and by the way, try the food of Wanfulou.

Wanfulou is located right in the heart of East City, the busiest area, where distinguished guests come and go, and luxurious carriages often stop at the door.

Wanfulou does not have a menu. The daily dishes are written on the wooden board at the door. The food is almost always mutton and Hu pancakes.

Fu Huaiying chose a private room by the window, ordered a few signature dishes recommended by the waiter, and drank tea while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Lu Xuyuan told Fu Huaiying that the rumor that someone died from eating food at Changle Restaurant was a false one and that someone was jealous of the restaurant's good business.

"Wanfulou is the only restaurant in East Market that's doing the best business. Restaurants around it are closing down one after another." Lu Xuyuan said, "But we don't have any evidence that Wanfulou is behind this."

"I advise Madam not to step into this fire pit."

"Anyone who can afford to open a restaurant in East Market must be either rich or noble. You can't afford to offend them."

Fu Huaiying said: "Since I dare to take over this shop, it means I am not afraid of those things."

"I asked Mr. Lu to come out because I wanted to discuss a business deal with you."

Lu Xuyuan is familiar with restaurant operations, and having him as the manager can save a lot of trouble.

But Lu Xuyuan was still a little hesitant.

Fu Huaiying slowly poured a cup of tea: "I remember you have three younger brothers and sisters. I guess Mr. Lu has never been married for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters."

Lu Xuyuan nodded.

He hesitated because of his younger siblings. He didn't want to get involved in danger and implicate his younger siblings.

"If you wish, you can take your share of the profits."

"Raising a family is not easy, and education is even more expensive." Fu Huaiying smiled: "If you are concerned about safety, I can hire a few thugs to protect your family."

"Madam's sincerity makes me panic."

Lu Xuyuan stood up and bowed deeply. "I am deeply grateful to be recognized by Madam. I hope Madam will allow me to go home and discuss this with my brothers and sisters before giving you a reply."

Fu Huaiying nodded: "Of course. Mr. Lu, please take a seat. I wonder if you have ever tried the food at Wanfulou."

Lu Xuyuan sat down and said, "The reason Wanfulou has been thriving in Dongcheng City is not only because of its strong background, but also because of its excellent food."

"Compared to Changle Tower?" Fu Huaiying asked.

"Of course, the taste of Wanfulou is better," Lu Xuyuan said. "Changlelou's advantage is just the price."

Soon the dish came up and Fu Huaiying took a bite. It tasted really good.

She ordered a dish of roasted lamb, a dish of crystal-cut fish, and a plate of "Gulouzi", which is lamb pie.

The taste is really good, you can even taste the pepper in the lamb, which shows that they really used a lot of ingredients.
