Ji Meiqing then looked at Madam Ji, "Madam Ji, after all, you are one of the masters of this Ji family. Don't you also think that the second young master should leave?"
"I think it would be good for him to go out and gain some experience."
"That's true." Ji Meiqing looked around, somewhat uncertain. "Are you really willing to let Ji Tianci go out with me for some training?"
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Ji Meiqing returned to Ji Tianci's side and asked softly, "Would you like to live with me? Although life may be a bit tough, and we'll have to handle things ourselves from now on."
"I'm willing, as long as I can be with my sister!" Ji Tianci nodded excitedly, then looked at Ji Meiqing, "I'll go pack my things now."
"Hmm." She watched him walk towards his room, then returned to Lu Yu.
"You're not angry, are you? I agreed to him so rashly." She had just realized that she was already married to Lu Yu, and that he owned a share of the house. She had decided to bring Ji Tianci over without his consent, and now she was looking at him pitifully.
"I'm afraid there aren't enough rooms." He hesitated. "How about I give him my room? I'll clean out the warehouse these next few days..."
"No need, no need. If you don't mind, you can live with me." She hurriedly suggested.
Lu Yu was a little unsure, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate..."
"Anyway, we're already married..." She blurted out too much in a moment of carelessness. She lowered her head and didn't say anything more, but Lu Yu understood, so he didn't say anything more either, only saying softly, "Yes, I am a gentleman."
Ji Tianci returned quickly, and everything was already packed.
Ji Tianzhuo was not satisfied and said, "When we go out to train, we can't take any more of the money we have on us."
"You want to take my New Year's money too?" Ji Tianci retorted. "I'll handle my own money. Aren't you meddling too much?"
"How dare you!" Seeing her son being spoken to like that, Madam Ji could no longer hold back.
Ji Tianci snorted and went straight to Ji Meiqing's side. He no longer looked at them directly, but said to Ji Meiqing, "Sister, can we go now?"
"Let's go." Ji Meiqing took one last look at them, and the three of them left together.
There was no more sound in the hall.
Stepping out of the Ji residence, Ji Tianci took a deep breath and took out everything he was carrying.
Although Ji Tianci was a son born out of wedlock, he was still a male member of the Ji family, which was much better than Ji Meiqing's situation. He received the proper treatment of a son born out of wedlock, while Ji Meiqing was not.
She was an illegitimate daughter, lacking both physical advantages and a powerful mother, so she naturally lived like a maid.
Ji Tianci took all the money he had received from his bosom and gave it to her; it was probably a stack of cash.
"You should keep it. You can use it if you need it in the future." She pushed the money back and said, "Actually, we're not that poor. Apart from not being able to afford a maid, we're fine."
"Oh..." He was slightly disappointed.
Ji Meiqing smiled and led him back to her home.
"Madam and young master are back. What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it." The old woman put down what she was holding and came over to them. Then she saw Ji Tianci standing to the side, and after a moment of surprise, she smiled and said, "Whose handsome young man is this? He's so good-looking. I wonder if he has someone he likes?"
Ji Tianci blushed immediately after being teased like that.
"This is my younger brother, Ji Tianci. He will be living here from now on," Ji Meiqing introduced, then looked at Ji Tianci and said to him, "This is Granny Mei, the housekeeper we hired. You can just talk to her if you need anything."
He chuckled twice.
Lu Yu said, "Please tidy up my room. I'll be sharing a room with Mei Qing from now on."
"Okay, sure." She also went over and tidied up with a smile, and Ji Meiqing told him to sit in the yard.
She went back to her room and tidied up her wardrobe and desk, then looked at Lu Yu and said, "Um, do you still need those spaces? I'll see if I can make some room for them."
"No need, this is fine as it is."
"Hmm..." She tidied the bed a little and stuffed the pillows in more.
Lu Yu watched her busy figure and took the opportunity to observe her more closely. The room was simply furnished, but contained some strange and unusual items, such as the chair by the window, which was supposed to be a swing... though she seemed to have transformed into the chair.
The desk was cluttered with pens and books, and Ji Meiqing, who was standing nearby, turned around and saw Lu Yu deep in thought, so she smiled.
"Would you like to try my bamboo hanging chair?"
Lu Yu looked at the chair and hesitated. It was so small, and the rope looked so thin. Could it support her weight?
"Go on, go on." Seeing his hesitation, Ji Meiqing pushed him over, sat down, and looked at him curiously, her eyes shining with excitement.
"How was it? Was it comfortable? Was it fun?"
After holding it in for a while, Lu Yu could only say, looking at her expectant eyes, "Comfortable."
"This chair of mine is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it can even be used as a swing. It has multiple functions and a variety of personalities." She praised her craftsmanship without hesitation.
Lu Yu smiled and looked at him. The two were being affectionate in the room, which was witnessed by Ji Tianci outside. He had only wanted to see what it was like inside, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
His face flushed red instantly.
"Let's get down to business." She cleared her throat, her smile fading as she looked at him seriously.
"What's the matter?"
"I think we can be considered small business owners with plenty of money now, right?"
Lu Yu nodded, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
She took two steps forward, then remained silent, keeping everyone in suspense, and said, "I think we should make a breakthrough; we can't always be stuck in a passive state."
Lu Yu understood and asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
"A restaurant, what do you think about us opening one?"
Lu Yu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "There are already enough restaurants in this city. If things continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to make any money."
"That's true." She was a little troubled. Although there weren't many restaurants and teahouses in the city, there were still quite a few. Besides, it was such a small city that the average income depended on the land, so there wasn't much money to go to restaurants for a good time.
How to carry it out has become a difficult problem.
"We can open a restaurant, but not another one; we'll buy one."
Lu Yu's words awakened Ji Meiqing, who was deep in thought.
"I don't know if I have enough silver on hand."
