Chapter 772: Chapter 772 The Man Sent by Young Master Chu Chapter 772: Chapter 772 The Man Sent by Young Master Chu Indeed, there weren’t many people around at that moment, and Gu Ya told Su Yunjin to go eat. After giving it some thought and considering that Gu Ya had worked harder than her on the grand opening day, Su Yunjin decided to go. Gu Ya, fearing she would tire herself out, had taken on most of the tiring tasks himself.
Su Yunjin’s role was simply to distribute the complimentary pastries and fruit teas to the customers, which was quite relaxing and not troublesome at all. Although Su Yunjin did sell some fruit wine and collected some silver, that was all later in the day.
Overall, Su Yunjin didn’t do much work that morning. Gu Ya was more tired than her, so Su Yunjin generously let Gu Ya go eat first, “Husband, you go eat first! I’m not hungry. You’ve worked harder than me today for the opening.”
His little wife looked at him with a smile while serving Gu Ya wine and collecting money, “Yunjin, it’s no big deal for a man like me to work hard. Be good, you go eat first.”
How could he, as a man, have the heart to eat when his little wife hadn’t? The conversation between Su Yunjin and her husband was overheard by a customer who was there to buy wine.
The wine-buying customer couldn’t help but say to Su Yunjin, “Young lady, this is your husband showing his affection for you! In my opinion, you shouldn’t compete with your husband. Better you go eat first!”
The man who had come to buy wine felt that this young couple indeed shared a very tender relationship, always considering each other.
As a man, observing Su Yunjin’s beautiful appearance, he couldn’t help feeling envious of Gu Ya inwardly, and then thought of the shrew at home.
Shivering, the man shook his head.
After being told off by a customer, Su Yunjin looked again at Gu Ya.
“Yunjin, be good,” Gu Ya coaxed his little wife once more.
Since Gu Ya wasn’t eating, Su Yunjin didn’t argue with him anymore. She went to eat first, planning to eat quickly; after she finished, she could come back and take over so Gu Ya could have his meal too.
Therefore, Su Yunjin put down the task at hand and turned to go eat in the kitchen at the back, but before she could reach the backyard, she heard that someone had sent them a congratulatory gift.
Surprised, Su Yunjin wondered.
Who else had sent them a congratulatory gift?
Could it be that Wu Xinxin had come again?
Frowning, Su Yunjin saw that the visitor did not look like someone from Wu Xinxin’s entourage but rather resembled someone from Young Master Chu’s retinue. Could it be an envoy from Young Master Chu?
Shock rippled through Su Yunjin.
There entered the attendant who often accompanied Young Master Chu, who immediately greeted Su Yunjin with a smile upon seeing her, “Miss Su, our Family Head has heard of your and Young Master Gu’s tavern opening and has specially prepared a modest gift for me to deliver. The items are not costly, and I hope both you and Young Master Gu will not disdain them.”
Su Yunjin was no ignoramus when it came to recognizing the value of goods.
Her gaze shifted to the two precious wooden boxes the man had brought, and she guessed that the gift from Young Master Chu was far from cheap.
Young Master Chu was a business partner, and it was only fitting to accept the good wishes of others when they came with congratulatory gifts, so Su Yunjin smiled and accepted the present, then invited the few men who’d come to sit down in the shop.
“Miss Su, you must be busy on your first day of business, and we don’t want to disturb you further. We must report back to our master, so we’ll take our leave now,” said the attendants from Young Master Chu’s side, and Su Yunjin knew they were not people of leisure.
As the visitors hurried to leave, Su Yunjin first asked them to convey her thanks to Young Master Chu on her behalf, then went out to see the visitors off.
They had come in a horse-drawn carriage.
Su Yunjin bade them farewell.
They looked back at Su Yunjin.
“Miss Su, please return! No need to see us out any further,” they said.
Holding the two large gift boxes, Su Yunjin headed back to the shop.
Gu Ya asked her, “Yunjin, who sent the congratulatory gift?”
