TheLing family is rather feeling troubled this day.
After the decree bestowal, a lot of those nobles end even the royal family's relatives keep on sending them gifts as congratulations.
Then invitations to those various parties putting them in an awkward situation.
They are just commoners from the countryside.
They learned to socialite but only to their customers, and attending parties with those madams is not in their lines.
Thankfully Sang momo is there to help them block those invitations.
They do know that declining them is rude but, they felt that they will just shame themselves if they attended one.
Ling Wei also agreed with her mother and grandmother declining the invitations.
Her concern was about what master Shu Qi told them.
A lot of powers are eyeing them so it is best to be more careful.
When these gifts and invitations didn't stop for months now, Ling Wei finally made a decision.
"mother, grandma why not, for now, return to the village, for now, we can decline this noble family but, but what if one of the royals invited us one day?"
Ding Cui and Cheng Waner look at Ling Wei intently for a moment then Ding Cui breaks the silence
"We know that, but what about you?"
Ling Wei smiles confidently and then explains her plan.
"I will go to the neighboring city, I will open a few branches in there, I will take some months there then, I will come back here, and open another business, I will go various places so I am pretty sure reaching me will be hard"
"but Weiwei will you be alright?"
Ling Wei nod and promised them that she can take care of herself.
Besides, there are her maidservants and momo Sang will be with her.
After finalizing the plan, Ding Cui and Cheng Waner departed after 3 days.
Ling Wei departed after 4 days and then start her new journey.
She plans to open a restaurant first.
She asked her mother to write the recipe earlier then she will buy some servants in the same city.
The nearest city is Bianping, she only took her maidservant's momo Sang and some guards then nothing else.
She left in a very lowkey manner so those people who were guarding her can only think that she will just travel around the capital.
The carriage ride only took half a day, because it was her first time entering Bianping Ling Wei and her entourage rested in an inn for a night.
"What is the most bustling place around the city?"
Ling Wei ask the waiter serving them
"miss there is lishu lane not far away from here, that is the most bustling and most rich place here, most of the rich and powerful families owned a place there"
Ling Wei nod, Xiao Ying, hands a gold ingot to the waiter and thanks him.
The waiter grins from ear to ear after accepting the money, he knows that this girl is rich but he didn't expect her to be this rich.
A gold ingot just for simple information!
Ling Wei rested then woke up extra early to check the so-called li shu lane.
When they arrived, Ling Wei and her 4 maidservants with Sang momo while waiting for the guards who checked the place.
Ling Wei didn't wait long, just after her 2nd tea one of her guards came back with the information.
Ling Wei checked the available courtyards and finally choose the simplest but biggest one.
Momo Sang paid the money and before the end of the day, Ling Wei owned another property.
The house was clean and neat so after dinner outside Ling Wei stayed in the newly brought house.
The next day, while shopping for new appliances for the house Ling Wei is also searching for an excellent place for her restaurant.
The place was bustling, she tried different kinds of snacks on the roadside.
Because she and everyone are wearing low-key clothes so nobody paid them any heed.
Ling Wei has been staying in Bianping for 3 days now and yet, there is still she did not manage to find the perfect place for her restaurant!
Ling Wei sigh sadly, this is really illogical! Is she hoping extravagantly?
While reflecting on her own expectations Xiao Yue came in and said
"Miss, there is already news, head guard Lang said that the place they found is right on the young miss alley"
Ling Wei hurriedly stand up and excitedly exclaim
"then what are we waiting for? Hurry up! We cannot let this slip away"
Xiao Yue smiles and follows her young miss.
Ling Wei liked the place the instant she sees it.
The land area is wider than she expected but it will be just fine.
After buying the place, Ling Wei directly asks her subordinates to hire a lot of workers to work in the restaurant building.
While the restaurant is being built, Ling Wei already bought people to be the restaurant's cooks.
She even taught them how to make meat jerky, ham, and smoked meat.
She is not worried about the people who will betray her because she knows that she will not give them any reason to do so.
But she didn't know that after buying this person, Long Yi Sheng's people already made a move to ensure that this person won't dare to make a move against Ling Wei.
While Ling Wei is still busy, a letter from the capital came.
Ling Wei open it and was happy to see it was from Ling Bin.
She hurriedly replied and then inform him about the movements from the capital, she also write down her plans and her next moves for the next months.
Then after sending the letter she also wrote a letter for her mother and grandmother with Ling Bin's letter attached.
After sending the letter she busied herself again.
Counting the time, 3 more days before the opening of the restaurant.
She already made the necessary advertisement so most of the people dwelling in Bianping already heard about the restaurant.
Ling Wei put a lot of her art into the interior design of the whole restaurant.
There are 5 floors in total and from the 3rd floor to the 5th floor there are a total of 12 rooms.
