Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Chapter 266 The Old Master is Back (2)

When Zhu Qingqing and her group arrived at the East Courtyard, they saw Team Leader Yang being carefully carried by several servants, slowly making their way towards the Main Courtyard, with the Second Madam following closely beside them. A servant had just arrived to report that the Old Master had returned. Therefore, they hurriedly set off to the Main Courtyard to pay their respects to the Old Master.

Seeing Zhu Qingqing and the others file in, Team Leader Yang's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Oh, Master Zhu, you've come at the right time! My father has just returned. Why don't you come with me to pay him a visit? That way, we can discuss some things with him in person."

Zhu Qingqing thought for a moment and thought to herself: That's true. After all, if I want to take over this house to open a hot pot restaurant, I must get the old man's approval.

Thinking of this, she nodded readily and said, "In that case, let's go together."

After that, everyone turned around and headed towards the main courtyard again. However, on the way, Zhu Qingqing felt that she should first check in private with Team Leader Yang to avoid saying the wrong thing or making any mistakes in front of the old man.

So, taking advantage of the gap between walking, Zhu Qingqing quickly approached the side of Team Leader Yang and told him in a low voice the details of her choice of the Yang family's East City house.

Team Leader Yang asked curiously, "Yang Jiu came back and said Zuifenglou was for sale. You guys liked it and have already paid the deposit. How come it's another house in East City..."

Zhu Qingqing: "We've taken a fancy to both places. We're planning to open a shop in Zuifenglou to sell our Western goods.

If the Yang family is willing, we can run it together. If not, we can do it ourselves.

The house in Dongcheng is just right for opening a restaurant, but I don't know if the old man would agree. I would like to ask Captain Yang to say a few good words for us. If not, I will look for another place.

He also briefly elaborated on his initial idea for opening a hot pot restaurant and his future business plan, etc. Team leader Yang listened carefully to what Zhu Qingqing said, nodding slightly from time to time to show his agreement.

Team Leader Yang said, "The location of Zuifenglou could be converted into a shop. Master Zhu is willing to cooperate with the Yang family, which is something I'm more than happy to do. As for the East City house, I will convince my father."

Zhu Qingqing: "Thank you very much, Captain Yang."

In this way, the group walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the gate of the main courtyard.

The two reached a preliminary consensus, and Zhu Qingqing felt relieved. At least Team Leader Yang agreed, so it would be much easier for him to convince the old man. If the old man disagreed, she also had a way.

After a while, we arrived at the main courtyard.

A servant had already gone in to report.

The old lady hurriedly invited them in.

The light in the room was a little dim. Only the old lady with silver hair and a kind face was sitting alone on a chair. There was no sign of the old man, the head of the Yang family. It seemed that he was still taking a bath and changing clothes.

When the old lady saw Team Leader Yang being carried in, a look of concern immediately appeared on her face. She quickly stood up and greeted him, saying, "Feng'er, you're not feeling well. Didn't I tell you not to come here before? Why did you come anyway?"

Team leader Yang responded with a smile: "Mother, father has returned today, and as his son, I should come to pay him my respects. There are also many important things that need to be discussed with him. I am really anxious and can't just sit still." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

The old lady sighed softly, nodded helplessly, and said, "Alas, you and your father are really cut from the same cloth, both of you have the same restless nature. Never mind, since you're already here, just wait a little longer. Your father should be coming out of the study soon."

Then, the old lady turned around and looked at Zhu Qingqing and the others standing beside her with a smile on her face. She said amiably, "Miss Zhu, I sent someone to Qingfengju a while ago, saying that you guys went shopping in East City. I wonder if you bought anything you wanted on this trip? If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to tell me. Don't be shy."

Zhu Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, old lady. You are too polite. Just call me Qingqing."

At this time, Zhu Yingying also came forward and said, "Yes, old lady, you can just call me Yingying."

The old lady laughed heartily upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly in response, "Okay, okay, then I won't be polite. Qingqing, Yingying... Come on, come on, have a seat and have some tea, and try some of our Fu Rong Fang Zhai's peach cakes. They're quite delicious."

"Thank you, madam."

The second lady personally sewed snacks for everyone.

For a while, everyone drank tea, chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Yu Bo approached Yang Wu stealthily and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang Wu, is Captain Yang called Yang... Feng? Is that the Feng as in the mountain? Or the Feng as in the wind? We've been calling him Captain Yang, Captain Yang all this way from Tubo to here, and we still don't even know his full name."

Yang Wu smiled slightly and replied softly, "It's the peak of the mountain. My grandfather's name is Yang Xu, which is the same as the rising sun."

Yu Bo became interested upon hearing this, and then curiously asked, "What's your old master's name? I'm a little embarrassed to not know the name of the Yang family's patriarch when we get to the capital city."

Yang Wu lowered his voice and said, "When the old master followed the late emperor, he only had a nickname. Later, it was the late emperor who gave him this full name. Yang Huaian. Huai means ambitious, and An means peace under heaven."

Yu Bo: "It's indeed a good name."

"Of course. How could the late emperor's choice be bad?"

Yu Bo: ...This is probably what the late emperor also thought.

Then he asked, "What's your name?"

Yang Wu straightened up and said proudly, "My name is Yang Sheng."

Hearing the name, Yu Bo was stunned for a moment, then nearly spit out the tea he had just taken. He muttered to himself: Yang Sheng? Yang Sheng? Doesn't that mean strong yang energy?

As if he understood what Yu Bo was thinking, Yang Wu quickly added, "It's the 'sheng' of victory, not the 'sheng' you're thinking of."

Yu Bo nodded in sudden realization and said with a smile, "I see. It seems your Yang family is quite particular about naming. I bet everyone's name has an interesting story or allusion behind it, right?"

Yang Wu nodded and replied, "Of course not! Take the names of Master, Second Master, and me, for example. They all have a history."
