Yu Youyao nodded obediently. “Okay!’

Yin Huaixi continued, “There are 100 elite troops arranged in the residence, and all of them are skilled. It won’t be a problem for them to take on ten enemies alone. Leave anything that Yin Shi can’t resolve to them. Don’t let yourself suffer.”

Yu Youyao was touched. “Alright, I’ll see you in Youzhou.”

At this moment, Madam Wang finished looking at the residence and returned to the reception pavilion.

Yin Huaixi mentioned Yin Shi.

When she heard that they were looking for someone to protect Yu Youyao!s safety, Madam Wang naturally had no objections. Seeing that it was getting late, she brought Yu Youyao back.

Yin Huaixi stood at the door and watched as the carriage gradually drove out of the alley. He instructed Chang An, “Go and ask around about the green plum fruits and buy some back.”

He wanted to see what was so special about the Green Plum Fruit.

Chang An returned in no time.

He brought back a bag of green plum fruits. “It’s a kind of licorice candied plum. It’s made of Chinese medicinal licorice and sugar water. It’s can be considered medicinal food.’

Yin Huaixi was deep in thought as he ate a piece of the greenish-yellow fruit with frosting.

An indescribable sour and sweet taste stimulated his saliva. He only felt that the fragrance was refreshing. When he ate a piece of fruit, there was still a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

It was a little like the plums he had eaten before, but the taste was even richer. The plums were sour and sweet, but the green plum fruits were delicious.

Yin Huaixi suddenly understood why Yu Youyao had asked him if he had eaten the green plum fruit.

The green plum fruit was like plums, but it was sweeter and mellower than plums.

“l think it’s delicious. I like it very much.” Yu Youyao had already responded implicitly.

The ignorant childhood sweetheart was enlightened.

She was implying that she was shy.

After returning to the Xie Manor, Yu Youyao brought Yin Shi to greet her grandmother.

Old Madam Xie nodded. “Since it’s someone arranged by your cousin, I don’t think there’s a problem. She can stay by your side.” Yu Youyao’s status was also important. After all, she was different from the young misses of ordinary families. It was the Xie family who had been negligent. “There are many guards in the residence. It’ll be more thorough to bring a few guards out in the future.’

She was not worried about any danger.

She was still worried that she would bump into rowdy people like Jia Changfeng.

Little Yao’er’s status was precious. Almost all the daughters of foreign ministers who had been conferred the title of relatives in history had married into the imperial family. The rules in the imperial family were strict, so it was good to be more careful.

Old Madam Xie changed the topic and asked about what Yu Youyao had seen when she went out today.

Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up, and she spoke a lot. Her face was flushed with excitement from what she had seen and heard on the streets.

After saying that, she looked at her grandmother and blinked. “Grandmother, teach me how to do business!”

Quanzhou was filled with business opportunities, and she had a treasure mountain. She was not in a hurry to earn money now. Instead, she wanted to learn how to use this treasure mountain to maximize the benefits.

When Old Madam Xie heard this, she was amused. “Alright, pick a few books about business first. Take a look yourself. If there are any questions you don’t understand, come and ask me.’

Yu Youyao knew how to look at accounts and check them. She was also proficient in managing matters.

In the past two years, she had been managing the businesses under Yu Youyao’s name. She did not have to operate the business, but she had been managing the businesses behind the scenes.

In particular, her management method was delegating staff to the shop to make it self-managed. She was responsible for her own profits and losses and rewarded and punished clearly. Not only was it easy and effortless, but it also promoted healthy competition in the shop.

Many shops in the Xie Residence also used the same method.

Yu Youyao did not lack management methods for doing business.

All she lacked was knowledge and practice in doing business.

Yu Youyao accompanied her maternal grandfather and grandmother for dinner. Before she left, Chun Xiao held a stack of books, as many as five or six of them.

The next day, Yin Huaixi came to bid farewell to the Xie Residence and brought the gifts he had prepared for Yu Youyao. They were all fresh fruits and food.

The Xie Residence naturally had to hold a banquet to send him off.

Yu Youyao did not attend, which was within Yin Huaixi’s expectations.

However, before Yin Huaixi left, he passed by the Water Cloud Pavilion of the Xie Residence and heard a farewell song called “Three Layers at Yang Pass.” It was mellow and sincere.

Frosty nights and frosty dawns.

Hasten, hasten! After a long trek through the pass, only sorrow remains in this body.

What tough journey, what tough journey! Each moment will be tough, so please take care, please take care.

Parting words exchanged with reluctance to depart, sleeves stained with tears.

There will no longer be a friend like you.

Reminiscence, reminiscence! I think of you every hour of the day.

Like the Shen and Shang, we each occupy an opposite end of the universe. Who to rely on, who to rely on! Who can I rely on now? Each day, my mind flies to your side, my mind flies to your side.

Even a thousand rounds will come to an end, but the sadness in my heart is incessant, the immeasurable sadness.

The Chu skies and Xiang waters are far apart, but I will implore every bird and fish to bring you letters soon.

Endless letters, endless letters! I’ll write endless letters, as though we are meeting in person, as though we are meeting in person.

Alas!

After today we will think of each other miles apart and meet only in our dreams.

I will listen for the sound of fluttering wild geese.

Yin Huaixi stopped and listened.

Xie Jingliu, who had sent Yin Huaixi out, subconsciously closed his fan.

She played the song three times. The sound of the zither was sad and quiet. The sound gradually slowed down and became weaker. However, the sound lingered in her mind, and she couldn’t bear to leave. She only sighed.

Yin Huaixi strode into the Water Cloud Pavilion.

Yu Youyao was wearing a snow satin dress and kneeling in front of the zither table. Her fairy bun was tied diagonally on her head, but a long tassel was inserted diagonally into her hair. It hung by her ear and swayed lightly. There was a faint layer of brow powder between her eyebrows. Like a mountain after the rain, it was beautiful.

In front of her was Shao Yu, which he had personally made. Her slender fingers pressed on the strings, and she couldn’t bear to leave for a long time.

“Yao Yao,” Yin Huaixi called out in a low voice.

Yu Youyao looked up at him. Her eyes were slightly red, and misty, making her eyes look even more charming. “I’ve prepared some wine at the Water Cloud Pavilion. I’ll have a drink with you as a farewell. I won’t send you off outside the city tomorrow.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go.

Instead!

After sending him off for a thousand miles, they had to part in the end.

She also knew that in the past, when Yin Huaixi left, he would always leave quietly before dawn and often wouldn’t give her a chance to send him off.

Yu Youyao moved to the table and sat down.contemporary romance

Yin Huaixi stared at her soft and light figure. There was a light belt around her waist, making her look even more delicate, like a willow branch. Her figure was already as exquisite as a woman’s.

He slowly walked to sit opposite her. “The green plum fruit is sweet and sour.

It’s fragrant and pleasing to the heart.”

“As long as you like it.” Yu Youyao’s cheeks heated up. She quickly poured two glasses of wine and handed one to him.

Yin Huaixi raised his hand to take it. It was unknown if his fingers had accidentally scraped the back of her hand, but the back of her hand felt slightly numb as if it had been stung by a bee.

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly retracted her hand.

The instigator acted as if he did not see it. He brought the wine glass to his nose and sniffed it gently. “Red Daughter which has been buried in the ground for more than ten years. This is a rare good wine.”

Red Daughter was glutinous rice wine. Its color was like amber, clear and pure. Its taste was even sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, fresh, and astringent. The six flavors were one, and it tasted fragrant, mellow, soft, cottony, and sweet.

It was suitable for both men and women, old and young..
