Chapter 184 - 183: Practicing the Real Martial Arts
Manager Luo suggested that Luo Yuan should set off for Capital City the next day. The old Lord Hou happened to have a letter that needed to be sent there. This way, he can take care of both public and private matters. He can also bring a letter to Luo Mingyuan. If Luo Yuan hurries, he can return in five days. Then, they can see how many people Yang Mingyuan can introduce to the wine shop.
Chen Shi is returning to Dingzhou in ten days. After he returns, he will find a shop front first, get the lease settled, and hire more people if needed. All the preparations should be in place by next month, which is when the wine shop can officially open. On the day of the opening, Chen Ming, Chen Ye, and Manager Luo had better all go to Dingzhou.
The name of the wine shop will be Xinglong Grand Restaurant.
Everyone was overjoyed and the dinner was even more lively. The old lady was especially happy, now that her three sons had jointly opened a wine shop, they were all well-off.
That night, Chen Afu wrote a letter to Yang Mingyuan. Given that she had only studied cultural courses with Chen Ming for less than a year, many words she hadn’t "learned". So, she asked Dabao or Chen Ming for help while writing. When the letter was finally finished, it was five pages long. Even though the writing wasn’t very good, it still expressed clearly what she wanted to say.
Early the next morning, she asked Shan Zi to deliver the letter to Manager Luo’s house.
By late morning, a well-dressed Mrs. Wang was about to go to Xianhu Village with Chen Ming. Since she married into the Chens sixteen years ago, she hadn’t returned to her hometown. As she got closer to her hometown, she was so excited that her body trembled slightly.
Today, she was wearing her best clothes—a pea-green, flower-sprinkled brocade jacket, and a dark-green satin skirt. She wore a jade hairpin on her head, along with a silver hairpin, a gold bracelet on her wrist and a pair of gold cloves earrings. The jade hairpin and gold bracelet were birthday gifts from Chen Afu, while Mrs. Zhang secretly gifted the gold earrings, Chen Afu had also sent her a pair.
