Chapter 293 Showing Goodwill
Gong Qianyue and her servant were taken by Qin Huiyin to change clothes.
Even if you only need to dry your clothes, you still have to take them off temporarily.
Qin Huiyin bought some ready-made clothes and asked Gong Qianyue and her servant to change into them temporarily. The clothes they took off were then dried in an oven, and they changed back into them after they were dry.
Tang Luwu assigned two female assistants to be responsible for drying.
Qin Huiyin is the host here, and Gong Qianyue is their guest of honor, so of course they have to treat her well.
She arranged for Gong Qianyue to go to the fourth floor and personally took her to enjoy the services on the fourth floor.
Gong Qianyue had only come to eat before and had heard that there were special services for important members on the fourth floor, but she had never experienced them. After this experience, she had a new understanding of Qin Huiyin's business mind.
The waiter came over and said to Qin Huiyin, "Young Master Song has sent something over. Boss, you need to sign for it."
Qin Huiyin nodded, turned around and said to Gong Qianyue: "Miss Gong, please take your time to experience our service. I have something else to do, so I'll be back soon."
"Mr. Qin, just focus on your own business. Don't delay your important work for me." Gong Qianyue said softly.
After Qin Huiyin left, the maid came over, looked at Gong Qianyue's delicate skin and said, "Miss, you finally met Master Tang, why don't you talk to him?"
"I heard that Young Master Tang likes this little sister the most. I've always been curious about her and wanted to know what kind of girl she is. I've been eating at her restaurant these past few days, and I have to admit that she has a good business sense. Until now, I realized that I was too narrow-minded before. This Miss Qin is really a very smart person."
She sent someone to inquire about Tang Yichen's family situation.
His family background was indeed low, but his family was very kind, and he had a bright future. Marrying such a man was safer than marrying her original fiancé.
Her fiancé was no different from the other dandies in the capital, a frequent visitor to brothels and other brothels. Rather than marrying a man like that, it would be better to marry down. As the daughter of a prefect, if she was willing to marry down, her in-laws would not dare to neglect her.
Among the many students, Tang Yichen is the one with the best conditions in all aspects.
But she couldn't be too proactive. First, she didn't know if Tang Yichen could pass the college entrance examination. Second, she was a noble lady after all, and she absolutely couldn't let anyone look down on her.
Like now, she would appear beside Tang Yichen and occasionally gain his favor. In addition, if there were other women around him who coveted her, she could also drive them away in time.
Judging from the current situation, this Qin Dongjia is a smart person. She has opened such a large store at such a young age, and her future is limitless. If she befriends him, she will have someone to speak up for her with Tang Yichen.
Gong Qianyue lay there and let the female waiter massage her back.
In a short period of time, she thought of many ways.
Qin Huiyin went downstairs to sign for the things sent by Song Ruize, and happened to see Li Taohua and Tang Yichen talking about something.
"This Miss Gong is quite pretty, but I noticed something strange about the way she looks at you. Could it be that you've just brought back some romantic interest from out there?"
"Aunt, she's the prefect's daughter, you can't make jokes like that. Previously, during the imperial examination in the provincial capital, she was in charge of receiving undergraduate students, and I just made her familiar. This time, I accidentally wet her dress. A woman's reputation is so important, you can't tarnish her innocence."
"Is that so..." Li Taohua was an experienced person, so how could she not see the look in the girl's eyes? But seeing Tang Yichen's calm denial, it was obviously boring.
Tang Yichen didn't mean that, so there was no need for her to pay too much attention. After all, this guy was good-looking and talented, and he must have attracted more than just one romantic interest along the way.
Qin Huiyin signed for the things sent by Song Ruize.
"Brother Ze went to Qingcheng and brought back some local specialties. He was immediately transferred by Lord Wen to take care of the dam project. He's been unable to leave for the next few days, so he asked me to go over there."
"Thank him for me. Wait here for a moment. I've made something new recently. Bring it to him to try."
Qin Huiyin came out carrying a lot of bags.
After seeing his younger brother off, he turned around and saw Tang Yichen, and walked towards him with a smile.
"Brother. Miss Gong is having a great time upstairs. But when I was with her, all she asked about was you."
Tang Yichen smiled faintly: "I will go to Beijing in a few days, and then she won't come to bother you."
"It's not really a disturbance. Miss Gong is a big customer of our store. No matter how much money she spends, it's still a lot of money. I don't mind such a disturbance." Qin Huiyin said.
"Is Tang Jinzhi here?" A gentle voice sounded.
Tang Yichen and Qin Huiyin turned around and saw the frail scholar in simple clothes.
"Brother Meng?" Tang Yichen was surprised. "You're finally here."
Meng Shushen was a little nervous at first, but after hearing what Tang Yichen said, he relaxed a little.
"Brother Tang is waiting for me?"
"Of course. We both have to go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. If we can travel together, we can take care of each other. I thought I would wait for you for twenty days. If you don't come, I will visit your home."
Meng Shushen hadn't expected Tang Yichen to actually plan to visit him at his house. His initial anxiety was instantly soothed.
"Come in quickly, Master Meng." Qin Huiyin said to Tang Yichen, "Brother, please entertain Master Meng. I still have to go upstairs to receive Miss Gong."
It was still raining heavily outside, and Meng Shushen's clothes were soaked. Tang Yichen took Meng Shushen to the backyard.
Qin Huiyin took the dried clothes upstairs. Gong Qianyue and the maid changed their clothes and said goodbye. Qin Huiyin arranged for a carriage to take them to the inn.
Meng Dongshen knew that Tang Yichen came from a well-off family, but when he got here he realized that all his family fortune was earned by his stepsister.
Meng Dongshen had never admired a woman so much.
A few days later, Tang Yichen and Meng Dongshen went to the capital with their entourage and servants.
For safety reasons, Qin Huiyin enlisted the help of Song Ruize, who arranged for them to travel with his escort agency. While the agency couldn't get them to the capital, it would still take them over a month, and the rest of the journey would be relatively uneventful. Alternatively, they could hire a caravan to accompany them.
Qin Huiyin was checking the accounts in the accounting office when she heard Tang Luwu say that Miss Gong had come again.
"Big brother has already gone to Beijing, doesn't she know?" Qin Huiyin went to see Gong Qianyue with this question.
Gong Qianyue walked towards her with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry for causing you trouble last time when it rained. I came here today to thank you."
"Miss Gong, you're welcome. Last time, it was my brother's mistake that got your clothes wet. This is our compensation. How can we expect your gratitude?"
"Let's put things aside. Your brother didn't mean to do that. I owe you my gratitude for your hospitality. By the way, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Do you have anything you want me to bring to your brother?"
