“Therefore, I am thinking that we should either make the Yellow Crane disappear or turn the Yellow Crane into our own.” Gu Yunhe said reasonably, “Also, the store where the Yellow Crane stands used to be under the charge of Gu Mansion, and Lord Huai suppressed that. That was why we gave it up, but things are different now.”
“…”
“My sister is the Crown Prince Consort, and the Phoenix Girl, and our mansion is one of the biggest mansions in the capital. With the Crown Prince helping us, we can gain back whatever we want easily. So we should get back what we want.”
“…”
“However, Lord Huai is involved with the Yellow Crane, so if I want to get it back alone, it would be difficult. That is why I am thinking about having a talk with sister to see if she can ask The Crown Prince to help us with it.”
“…”
“It is just a restaurant, but when I have it, I can be the honored chief and the income can be given to the Crown Prince for the army,” Gu Yunhe said with a look of indifference.
He did not really care about money and where the income would go. What he cared about was how he would look on the surface.
Gu Mansion did not need any money and he could just make some gestures for many people to come and deliver treasure to him. Also, he could earn a lot from his work tasks, so a restaurant was not useful for him.
What he was displeased about was that few people visited Restaurant Jixian right now and not everyone was interested in Restaurant Jixian any more.
He had always had a dream about being at Restaurant Jixian.
When Gu Mansion was just a small mansion in the capital, the money, which was enough for him to have a meal at Restaurant Jixian, could not take him into the elegant room. Only noble ladies and young masters of the capital would be allowed to eat in the elegant rooms, which were only open for you when you were in high position. When you became powerful, the waiters at Restaurant Jixian would treat you well, whilst the other guests could only look up at you as you entered that elegant room.
And that was what Gu Yunhe was doing right now.
……
Gu Mansion was almost as respected as the other noble families, and he was admired wherever he went, and even the Elder Princess treated him politely.
He understood that he had already become what he had been dreaming about when he was little, but Restaurant Jixian had changed.
He just could not accept the truth.
What he needed to do was to return Restaurant Jixian to what it had been like before.
He had made some efforts, and he even asked Restaurant Jixian to sell liquor, since he claimed to be their supporter, but Restaurant Jixian was never like it was before. Few people visit there now.
The difference between how Restaurant Jixian looked in the past and how it was now that he and the young masters were drinking at Restaurant Jixian made him feel really uncomfortable.
He believed that with his sister’s help, it would not be very difficult for him to deal with the Yellow Crane.
That was why he needed to do something about it!
He was going to return Restaurant Jixian to how it was in the past.
Gu Yunhe looked very resolute.
Mrs. Gu did not think that a restaurant would matter that much, but she did not want to stop Yunhe from doing what he wanted.
“That may work, however…”
