Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 346

Emperor Zhengyuan had already heard that he had gone to Cining and Kunning halls. 

At present, what was the identity of the family? Who would actually care about such a bite of food? But that kind of behavior to put family members at ease was hard not to make them happy. 

After yhe two ate snacks and porridge together, Emperor Zhengyuan said to him, “There is something that you have to decide. You can choose a companion to come to the palace.” 

Gu Ye immediately smiled, and Emperor Zhengyuan said again, “It’s better if that person is not from the Wu family.”

Gu Ye, who first thought of Wu’an, immediately froze, and Emperor Zhengyuan rubbed the top of his head and analyzed it to him, “It’s not that I don’t like the child of the Wu family, but that there is only one seat for a person to accompany you. The family standing behind the person will have to support you. I know that you and the child of the Wu family grew up together, and the love is incomparable to outsiders. But because of this, don’t choose him, understand?” 

Gu Ye understood what he meant. The reading companion was to give him the opportunity to cultivate his own people. Wu’an was already in his camp, so he should give that opportunity to others. 

Moreover, Gu Ye thought that Wu’an was more shy and introverted, and he was more lively when he was at home. He would be uncomfortable outside. If he was made to come into the palace, he may not get used to it for a while. 

Although Gu Ye had not been in contact with Emperor Zhengyuan for a long time, Gu Ye knew that he was good to him. 

“Can I think about it?” He was no longer unhappy, leaning on Emperor Zheng Yuan as if he had no bones. 

He was not yet seven years old, but he understood the truth, unlike other children of that age who only cried when things went wrong. 

Emperor Zhengyuan said naturally, “Of course, I will order to restore your identity around the end of the first month. You can think slowly till then.” 

Gu Ye nodded. In fact, he had another candidate, Feng Yu. 

They had known each other for a short time. Feng Yu misunderstood him for stealing things at first. He first gave his money, and then came out to persuade him, asking him if he had encountered any difficulties, and later told him so many stories. 

When borrowing the script from him, Feng Yu was still thinking of reporting his family name, and he did not deliberately conceal his identity as from a rival family. 

Whether as a person or literary talent, he couldn’t find faults in Feng Yu, he was excellent. 

The bad thing was that he belonged to Duke Lu, and if asked for a companion, they would send the brother.

 ………… 

After Gu Yin sent them out, she went to the kitchen to make roujiamo for the rest of the family, and then went to Food of Heaven. 

It was almost noon, and there was a sudden noise outside. Gu Yin went outside to see only to find that it was a convoy delivering things. 

Taibai Street was already bustling, and the convoy transported large items, which blocked the road. 

Gu Yin asked someone to inquire, only to find out that those things were delivered to Look up to Heaven Tower. But it was not easy to transport goods to the location of the restaurant at the end of the street as opposed to the intersection where ‘Food of Heaven’ was located. 

It was Da Sun who inquired about the news and said, “Master, I have something to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not.” 

Gu Yin asked her to speak, and she said, “I saw that those things are both gold and jade, not like those used in ordinary restaurants. They are like things used by women of noble families, and I saw a craftsman in Look up to Heaven Tower. He also told people that today the top floor is not open. It needs to be renovated, do you think they are…” 

Mrs. Chen had only been there the day before, and Look up to Heaven began to buy things for women. 

Naturally, they wanted to copy her Elegant Hall. 

The speed was faster than Gu Yin expected, but it was not surprising enough. 

“I see.” Gu Yin nodded and said, “It’s alright, let’s take a look.” 

Not to mention that her own Elegant Hall was blessed with desserts made by herself, just looking at the decoration, she felt that ‘Look up to Heaven Tower’ didn’t understand the concept.

The things they delivered were expensive and beautiful, but she felt that it was not something that young women would like, but was what men thought that women liked. 

And the tables and chairs were also mainly mahogany. Mahogany was naturally more expensive, and it looked better in the restaurant. 

But that kind of color was actually not conducive to opening a restaurant and keeping guests. It may make people anxious after looking at it for a long time, not to mention the kind of hard chair, which couldn’t be compared with the sofa in terms of comfort.

Gu Yin couldn’t help thinking of Mrs. Chen. She spent a whole day in Elegant Hall, didn’t she notice that the sofa was more comfortable than ordinary wooden chairs? 

Things like sofas were cheaper than mahogany tables and chairs, and the process of making it was not complicated. If they told the craftsmen, they could do it right away. 

‘Look up to Heaven Tower’ didn’t copy it, which meant that she didn’t mention it at all when she went back. 

She was indeed a very good person. If the two families were not opposed, Gu Yin would have wanted to be her friend. 

………… 

Yue Banyan outside the city was the place where the incense flourished, which was well-known in the capital. 

It was also the place where Wu Zhong set up a memorial table for his family before and sent Shen Hanchun over to recuperate. 

That day, Mrs. Wang listened to the imperial doctor’s message: Shen Hanchun felt a little lonely outside, so he came to visit her on her behalf. 

Since Shen Hanchun’s recuperation, her body had improved a lot, at least she could get out of bed. 

But when she heard that Mrs. Wang’s coming, she still said that she was not in good health, and that she would not be able to see her because of her illness. 

She herself said that she felt lonely, and it was strange that she did not meet her at the moment. 

But Mrs. Wang felt guilty— the family almost killed her by accident, and at that time, Gu Ye was asked to visit her every day, and only later did they know that the most precious person in their family was Gu Ye. So Mrs. Wang didn’t get angry, and only told the maids to serve her with all their heart, and then turned around and went to burn incense.
