Chapter 58: Qi Yihan
When Yun Chengfeng saw his elder brother’s reply to the letter, his face was filled with black lines.
What does he mean about making sauce being useless, what does he mean when he said he can’t do big things, what did he mean when he said that finding the recipe for making sugar was just his luck, do not let it get to his head and he’ll allow him to do some small business. He also said that thanks to his contribution to obtaining the white sugar formula, he would be able to return to the imperial city ahead of schedule, and he should get married in the next year.
Whatever, who he marries is not his business, if he wants to marry just one person then he should just marry one person. He is only good at gathering and drinking with his friends, not at flirting!
Yun Chengfeng glared at the letter angrily, his eyes were on fire as if he could burn the letter to ashes just by staring.
He shouldn’t have sent any mooncakes back to his elder brother.
They haven’t been shipped yet, so he won’t send it at all, humph!
Yan Yi, who was next to him, kept still so that his master would not get caught in the line of fire. Sometimes his young master got angry, and anyone who got close would be bombarded.
Yun Chengfeng saw a ledger of the sauce workshop on the table, and his mind changed. His elder brother looked down on him, so he copied a sales account and sent it back together with the Mid-Autumn Festival gift so that his elder brother could see how he “couldn’t” do great things.
Based on the running account for the past two months alone, the sales of the sauce workshop made a considerable profit.
This is still the beginning and there will be more orders in the next month than this one as every household in the outer county bought from them and the purchase volume of the inner county residents was also increasing.
With a population of hundreds of thousands in the inner county, not to mention the amount used by high-profile households and restaurants, the amount used in a day can smash his elder brother stupid.
Not to mention that they just started supplying Fucheng with their goods, it was a place where millions of people gathered.
When he first saw the account book, he felt that he was too capable, but his elder brother dared to say that he was useless!
Yun Chengfeng stopped being angry this time and said to Yan Yi, “It is said that my eldest brother is a good businessman and can stand shoulder to shoulder with those old foxes in the imperial city. He had never once neglected his work” After speaking, Yun Chengfeng felt proud. “He has been in the imperial city for a long time so his head is rusty, it’s justifiable!”
Yan Yi: “…”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
If the eldest young master’s head was rusty, then what were they?!
“Tjc Tl, mbwf tfgf!” Tec Jtfcuofcu tjcvfv bnfg atf ifvufg, “Mlcv rbwfbcf ab mbqs atlr jcv rfcv la yjmx klat atf Zlv-Ceaewc Mfralnji uloar abwbggbk, jcv jirb qjmx j yjamt bo tlut-dejilas rjemf obg wf jcv rfcv la tbwf.

Yan Yi took his orders respectfully and went out to handle errands.
Wei Cheng gave Yun Chengfeng the fish gelatin, each box was less than half a catty, and each box came with an instruction manual with the name, efficacy, and production method written on it. There were also some abalone and shark fin.
At that time, Yun Chengfeng saw the fish gelatin packed in a gift box that was less than half a catty and called Wei Cheng accusing him of stealing money, but Wei Cheng shut him up after saying, “What are you talking about? I didn’t take any money!”
Wei Cheng didn’t take money at all, he was just joking when they were in Xian Manju.
It was free, and Yun Chengfeng was very satisfied.
Wei Cheng wondered why there were no sea cucumbers and fish maw in this continent where there are seafood ingredients such as abalone and shark fin. After asking, he found out that abalone and shark fin were brought in through the development of overseas trade.
*
Xian Manju mooncakes are very popular, and they are also sold in limited quantities.
This was because of multiple reasons, first, Xian Manju paid attention to their quality, and second, it only sold to limited amounts of people to show that the mooncakes were made with rare materials and craftsmanship, which made people think that it was rare and therefore expensive.
Six refined styles are limited for sale, and the egg yolk style and sweet-scented osmanthus style are not available for reservation, it depends on first come, first serve.
Wei Cheng has a copy of the Nanshan County’s list of esteemed nobles on hand, which was sorted out by entrusting steward Quan.
This is not Wei Cheng being snobby but because he was in the imperial society, the concept of family rank and class is clear, and they are not treated equally, so it is easy to offend people.
He needs to be cautious at every step to be able to settle down!
—
In the distance, at the imperial city.
“Master, those other people are too much, even more so because the young lady and the young master of that family have played a part in it, and they even plan against you behind your back!”
“He said that Second Young Master Yin didn’t like the young master and that the marriage between the two families was just the matchmaker’s idea, one without any affection. Second Young Master Yin didn’t like the young master because of this, so he has always avoided him. Now he has run off to Fucheng to avoid the marriage.”
“How could they be like this? Second Young Master Yin likes you, this is so obvious, Young Master. He often greets Young Master with care and will send you any rare things. They don’t know anything so they can talk nonsense. I wonder if they are jealous of Young Master and Second Young Master Yin’s marriage.”
The servant was very angry as he felt was aggrieved for his master.
“Xiao-Nan, let’s not talk about it, if they want to talk then let them talk.”
With a clear voice, a boy in a light top was sitting upright with his fingers holding onto the book, despite this, his attention was not on the book and he had no intention of reading it. His eyes had a certain sense of elegance within them but his mood seemed depressed.
Almost half a year later since the man left the imperial city but there was no news of him.
Qi Yihan felt uneasy because he didn’t know what Yin Chengfeng thought about their marriage. He doesn’t care too much about how much the outside world arranged for their marriage, what he cares about is what Yin Chengfeng thinks.
He doesn’t know when it started, he seldom cared about him, and seemed to avoid him, did his feelings change?
He has a reserved temper, so he couldn’t ask him in front of him, he hesitated for a long time, and when he mustered up the courage to ask clearly if he resisted the marriage of the two, he could propose to let go of the marriage.
His parents love him, and they won’t love him less just because he is a ger. If he proposes to dissolve the marriage, his parents will agree with him.
He was not a person who was used to worrying about gains and losses, and he only longs to be with that person for the rest of his life but sometimes, if there is no emotion, he would rather be in pain than fall into oblivion and suffer for the rest of his life.
Xiao-Nan was very reluctant to shut up, and cursed Young Master Yin Chengfeng in his heart, if he didn’t like his young master, he should have not shown his kindness to his young master frequently and asked for a marriage and made his young master fall in love with him, cause now he made his young master feel sad.
If it wasn’t for the young master not letting him and the eldest and second young masters file a complaint, he would have gone to file a complaint and asked the two elder young masters to vent their anger on his young master.
“Master!”
Xiao-Nan’s sharp eyes looked at the tall figure of the young master Qi Mingheng, who was walking this way.
Qi Mingheng saw his younger brother sitting in the pavilion reading a book, so he walked over.
Qi Yihan called softly, “Brother.”
Qi Mingheng sat down, looked at his younger brother’s eyebrows, and frowned: “Han Han, tell your elder brother honestly, is something wrong with your relationship with Yin Chengfeng?”
Qi Mingheng was very displeased. If it weren’t for the busy affairs in the court, he wouldn’t have ignored his younger brother. He didn’t even notice his younger brother’s depression and his being wronged.
The Qi family is not a family that looks down on gers, on the contrary, they treat girls and gers equally.
He was the second son of the Qi family, his parents gave birth to two sons, and their third child is a ger. Their parents have loved their younger brother since they were young, and they will not let him suffer any grievances.
In the beginning, he was very opposed to Yin Chengfeng’s marriage with his younger brother. Because of Yin Chengfeng’s reputation, he didn’t know how many romantic debts he owed. After inquiring, although this guy is a flamboyant young master, often drinking and having fun with his friends, he has never been involved in romantic affairs and kept himself clean, otherwise he would not have agreed to the marriage of the two families.
Qi Yihan said, “No, we have a very good relationship.” His elder brother may have heard some rumors, otherwise he would not have come to ask him.
“Since that guy left the imperial city, did he contact you?”
The term ‘that guy’ shows how much Yin Chengfeng’s future brother-in-law looked down on him.
“This…” Qi Yihan hesitated.
If he were to lie, his elder brother would notice as he is not good at lying.
Seeing his younger brother’s hesitant expression, Qi Mingheng became angry!
How could he still not understand, Yin Chengfeng didn’t worry about his younger sibling, and there was no word from him after he left the imperial city.
Qi Mingheng was about to go to the Yin family’s house to find Young Master Yin to inquire about Yin Chengfeng’s affairs when he heard a servant running in yelling. Qi Mingheng was on fire, this servant was blatantly disobeying the rules, he was about to reprimand and punish the servant, only to hear him shout, “Master Heng, Master Han, the Yin family sent a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, the madam asked you to please go over.”
As the two families are future in-laws, it is normal for the Yin family to send gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Was it necessary to shout in the house!?
Awww i hope Yin chengfeng clears it up with Qi Yihan
Also bro please cut your brother some slack, your elder bro does a lot more business than you, but i do agree Chengfeng should get more credit in getting business opportunities
Yun Chengfeng was right on time 😅
Oh YCF, you did a very bad job…
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )
