Chapter 871: Taking Over the Family Businesses
....Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Jin’an slowly began to relax when he saw everyone’s smiles. He turned to his wife and said softly, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
He knew he would not have been in a good mood when returning to the Wei Manor if it had not been for her. Not to mention that everyone could eat and drink together.
Su Binglan understood his feelings and shook her head, saying, “You don’t need to thank me.’
Luo Jin’an sighed. “I don’t know how else to show my grat.i.tude.”
“l just want you to be happy,” Su Binglan said.
“l wish the same for you, too.” Luo Jin’an’s heart raced. He would do his best with anything Lan Ruozhu tasked him with. After all, the two had similar thoughts about protecting this country.
That way, Su Binglan could do whatever she wanted. Luo Jin’an and Lan Ruozhu no longer had to worry about wars. The two would not allow anyone to destroy this peace. Thus, Luo Jin’an would reestablish his family’s army and build a new group of elite troops.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an with bright eyes. “I’m happy as long as you’re beside me.’
She was always in a good mood whenever her husband was around. He gave her a different feeling.
Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll always be by your side.”
Although he spoke softly, his tone was firm, as if he was making a promise. Su Binglan smiled, and a sweet feeling surged through her heart. She said, “Hurry up and eat. There’s still so much food left.
“l told Wenwu to send us these hairy crabs and prawns. Since no one else has ever tried these dishes, what do you think of them?”
After eating a few crabs and prawns, Luo Jin’an admitted that they were some of the best things he had ever eaten. “They’re delicious, of course. If you opened a restaurant that specializes in these, business would go through the roof.’
“You understand me so well. I’m considering opening a kebab shop here. Hairy crabs and crayfish are seasonal foods. Everyone can eat crabs and crayfish now since it’s summer, but not during winter. It’ll be a regular barbecue shop then.
“Drinking fruit juices during summer is just as enjoyable. Your family will have some shops in the capital, too.”
When the previous emperor sealed the Wei Manor, he also confiscated the familys shops. However, Lan Ruozhu returned everything to Luo Jin’an. The latter had no intention of doing business and only wanted to give the shops to his wife.
Su Binglan said, “It’s okay. 1 plan to build a vast commercial street in the east of the capital. There will be more than enough shops there.”
“You’re my wife, so my shops are yours, too,” Luo Jin’an said, “You can use them as you see fit. I don’t plan on using them, anyway. Even if you want to build a commercial street, it’ll take at least a month.’
Indeed, Su Binglan would need ready-made shops if she intended to open a commercial street. Her husband’s words warmed her heart.
Before Su Binglan could say anything, Luo Jin’an continued, “I’ll need you to take care of the matters at home. It might be a little challenging for you.”
According to a large familys tradition, entrusting responsibilities to the wife resembled tremendous respect for her. It also gave her power over all family decisions.
Su Binglan understood her husband’s thoughts. She smiled and said, “All right, then you can focus on rebuilding your family’s army. Leave your family’s shops to me.”
Luo Jin’an nodded. The two spoke softly, and no one heard them, especially since they were enjoying their food and drinks. It had been a long time since the Wei Manor was this lively.
“This wine is so delicious.’
“l agree. We can’t even drink such a thing on normal days. We can’t even buy such high-quality wine.”
“The fruit juice is sweet and refres.h.i.+ng. I feel much cooler after drinking it.”
“It’s nice and chilled, so drinking it will relieve the heat. Indeed, it’s good stuff.’
“Don’t forget about the exceptional food. I’ll happily eat more,”
“Yeah, let’s have a toast!”
The maids and servants felt restrained initially. However, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had already told them to relax. The fragrance of food coming from the Wei Manor even wafter into the streets.
Some pa.s.sers-by followed the fragrance and reached the manor entrance. They were shocked when they saw the open doors.
“Emperor Ruozhu has vindicated the Wei family’s army and cleared their names. Now, the manor doors are open again.”
“It smells so good in there. I wonder what they’re eating.”
“This is the Duke of Wei’s mansion now. It belongs to Great General Jin’an and his wife, Princess Binglan. 1 heard Her Highness has excellent cooking skills and developed many new delicacies. Did she cook just now?”
“I really want to try her cooking one day.”
“Can ordinary people like us even eat Her Highness’s food? Smelling her food is as good as it’ll get for us.”
“It sounds lively in there. I’m getting hungry, just smelling the food. Hey, let’s have dinner at the hotpot restaurant to satisfy our cravings.”
“You’re right. I always get hungry whenever 1 smell food. Hotpot might be a little too expensive. Let’s buy some cured meats instead. We can eat them with steamed buns and rice when we get home.”
The fragrance coming from the manor whetted the pa.s.sers-by’s appet.i.tes.
Soon, everyone in the manor, including Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an, ate till they were full. The couple even drank a little wine and felt slightly drunk. After dinner, Luo Jin’an took his wife’s hand and went to his old room. The room was spotless.
Luo Jin’an entered the room and touched a book on the table, saying, “This is where I used to live. These were things I used in the past, too. I never thought I’d see these things again.”
He thought these items would no longer be at the manor. After touching them for a while, he realized they were new and not the ones he had used before. Still, everything looked the same as before.
Luo Jin’an’s hands trembled as he turned to look at Su Binglan. He then hugged her gently, asking, “You prepared all this, didn’t you?”
He tightened his hug, which allowed Su Binglan to feel his surge of emotions. She said, “l think my memories were pretty good. I remember coming to your room when I was Lan Ruobing, so I used those memories to restore everything as closely as possible..”
