Both Matriarch He and the servants in Chu Lian’s courtyard were looking forward to Guilin Restaurant’s reopening.

Guilin Restaurant held a special place in Matriarch He’s heart. As for the third branch, the restaurant was going to be a very important source of income for them.

He Sanlang had ventured out to the northern border by himself. Who knew when he would be able to return to this courtyard? Third Young Madam was all alone in the estate and her dowry was rather pitiful. She also wasn’t in line to manage the estate. The expenses of their branch were paid from the estate’s shared accounts, but they still had to have some personal funds to use freely. Otherwise, they would definitely be looked down upon by others.

Back in the Ying Estate, she was just a young miss, so it was fine if she didn’t have much money of her own. However, Chu Lian was now the lady-in-charge of the third branch, so she had to have some funds squared away.

Furthermore, Third Young Madam wasn’t miserly. If she got rich one day, she would naturally award her servants richly as well.

Thus, from Senior Servants Gui and Zhong to the menial servants sweeping the floors in the courtyard, all of them were hoping that Third Young Madam’s Guilin Restaurant would do well and prosper.

In the end, Chu Lian turned out to be the most relaxed person in the estate. She just ate, drank and slept all day, enjoying what little pleasures she could. Guilin Restaurant’s reopening seemed to be an event as ordinary as her daily calligraphy practice to her. As the date of the reopening drew closer, even Xiyan started to get anxious. However, her master was just lying on a lounge chair and eating some candied fruits while casually flipping through a newly published comedy book.

Looking at her master’s overly relaxed appearance, Xiyan didn’t know whether to complain or relax along with Chu Lian.

She walked over to Chu Lian with a few different types of fabric in hand. “Third Young Madam, which colour should we use for the drapes in the private rooms?”

When Chu Lian heard Xiyan’s words, she didn’t even look up. She was in the middle of an exciting part of her book. “You can decide that yourself, you don’t have to come to me for these small matters.”

If she had to be consulted for details as small as the colours of the drapes, wouldn’t she be overwhelmed with work in the future when she had more stores in hand? She was reopening Guilin Restaurant so that she could earn more money and enjoy life, not to create more troubles and work for herself.

Her final goal was to become a carefree and relaxed layabout!

Xiyan felt a little helpless, but she knew that Third Young Madam’s words were the law. Thus, she quietly picked out a colour that she liked.

However, she didn’t leave after that and continued talking, “Third Young Madam, should we train two more loyal cooks?”

Chu Lian finally looked up from her book and turned to Xiyan. “Why do you say that?”

Seeing that Third Young Madam was finally paying attention to her, Xiyan got a little excited. “Third Young Madam, have you seen those large restaurants in the capital? They’re always so full to the point that there aren’t any empty seats. The restaurants with some unique specialties usually have a long queue outside. How will Cook Mao be able to manage everything alone? Won’t he be overworked?”
