Chapter 291 This damn pride

Gu Yunyi now understood why his uncle disliked him as a weakling.

He had previously thought that since he was at home and exercised every morning, his physical condition should be pretty good. Now it seems that his uncle had been holding back.

By the end of the morning, Gu Yunyi was exhausted and had a bruised and swollen face.

With Pei Cheng's final shout, Gu Yunyi lay stiffly on the ground.

All I want right now is to go home!
I miss my wife!
I miss my child!
I miss my mother!
Pei Cheng walked over and kicked him: "What are you doing? Still lying there? Let me tell you, if you waste another half a day, the mealtime will be over..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunyi dared not delay any longer. He stood up, enduring the pain, and limped towards the food station. Cheng, seeing his condition, instructed his deputy, "Tell someone not to hit his face this afternoon. If my mother sees this, I'm sure I'll get a beating."

"No, no, no... I'll stay at the main camp for now!"

"General, you have things you're afraid of too!" the lieutenant teased.

Pei Cheng tapped him on the back of the head: "You're not going to eat, are you!"

"Go now, right now!"

"roll!"

……

While Gu Yunyi was being taught a lesson at the camp, Xu Qingmeng and the others were also busy at home, preparing for the opening of Zhuyunzhai.

I thought there would only be one table that day, but unexpectedly, Manager Lin came in the afternoon to tell me that a young master surnamed Lin had booked a table.

"Young Master Lin?" Xu Qingmeng looked surprised!

"Well, this young master Lin's family is also a well-known wealthy merchant family in the prefecture. Ever since he tasted hot pot, he has been hooked. He came here as soon as he heard that you opened a restaurant, saying that there were eight people that day and he wanted to ask if you could accommodate them."

Manager Lin has been in the prefectural city for many years, especially in the restaurant business, so he naturally has a certain understanding of the connections in the city.

Because Zhuyunzhai doesn't cater to the budget-friendly market, but rather focuses on reservations and private dining, both tables were quite full.

Currently, only Xu Qingmeng and Xu Xinting are capable of cooking in the kitchen, with Aunt Rong also helping out. Since Xinting hasn't fully mastered the skills, the host basically has to cook for these two tables himself.

"Boss, preparing these two tables will take a lot of effort. If there are any walk-in customers, should we not take them?"

Xu Qingmeng nodded, "Okay, let's just have these two tables for now!"

After all, Xu Qingmeng believed that there might not be any more people to follow, so she and Gu Yunyi decided to keep the opening simple and not make it too grand.

In the evening, Xu Qingmeng was discussing something with Madam He when she heard the gatekeeper exclaim in pain.
"Young master, young master, are you alright? What happened?"

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He were startled and quickly came out.

Then Gu Yunyi was dragged back by a tall, burly man. He was limp all over, and the abrasions on his face were a terrible sight.

Xu Qingmeng immediately panicked and rushed forward: "Yun Yi!"

Seeing her son like this, Mrs. He was very worried.

"Madam Gu, you two, move aside a bit, Young Master Gu is a bit heavy." The man dragging Sixth Master was very strong; with a single breath, he lifted him up and carried him to the front hall.

That's so embarrassing!
At this moment, Gu Yunyi really just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, he was completely powerless at the moment and could only let this Sixth Master carry him away.

Xu Qingmeng and the others quickly followed. Madam He hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor. Xu Qingmeng asked, "Did your uncle... injure you?"

Upon hearing this, Sixth Master quickly said, "There's no need for our general to take action. Any soldier in this camp could do it. But the young master is tired, not beaten."

"Young Master Gu is fine. The doctor in the camp has already examined him. After a night's rest, he will be full of energy by tomorrow morning."

When Sixth Master left, he left a horse, saying it was for him to use when he went out early and returned late in the future. Of course, before leaving, he also said, "Your uncle said that since this is your first time going and you are not very familiar with the place, he asked you to come back early. Tomorrow you will probably have to train with the soldiers until dark."

Gu Yunyi agreed listlessly.

Xu Qingmeng thanked him, but then, unable to contain her worry for Gu Yunyi, she saw him to the door and hurried back inside after he left.

Madam He and Madam Pei were asking each other with concern.

"Yunyi, are you really alright?"

Madam He had seen her son being beaten by his younger brother before, so she was alright this time. But Madam Pei was seeing it for the first time, and she wished Pei Cheng were there so she could do the same to him.

Looking at Gu Yunyi like this, Xu Qingmeng realized that her uncle had indeed been kind to him before!

"Mother, Grandmother, I'm really fine. My uncle had the doctor from the military camp examine me. I'm just weak, there's nothing seriously wrong!"

Faced with his uncle's excellent martial arts skills, he felt it was only natural to be beaten like that. After all, his uncle had been learning martial arts since he was a child, and he also had the title of general to keep him in check, so being crushed was nothing to him.

But when he arrived at the camp today, he realized that everyone's martial arts skills were so good that even those much younger than him could kick him to the ground with one kick.

His uncle had previously shown him leniency.

On this day, Gu Yunyi not only experienced a crushing defeat in terms of physical strength, but also the collapse of his self-confidence.

He was so badly injured and so exhausted, all because of his so-called pride, which he demanded himself.

In fact, he was already too tired to get up after half a day. Pei Cheng wanted him to come back first, but he refused and insisted on practicing for another hour. In the end, he was exhausted and had no strength left for himself.

That's why Sixth Master eventually dragged him back.

Mrs. He still sent a doctor to take a look.

Even if there's nothing wrong with my body, my hand is still injured!
Xu Qingmeng was more worried about the wound on his arm than the wound on his body. Even though it was still winter, he had sweated so much after a day of training. She wondered how the knife wound was doing now.

The doctor arrived quickly and, upon entering and seeing Gu Yunyi like this, exclaimed, "Oh!"

"Young Master Gu, what happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?"

Just as Madam He was about to say something, Gu Yunyi grabbed his mother and smiled helplessly.

Seeing this, the doctor wisely refrained from asking any further questions and carefully examined Gu Yunyi. Fortunately, it was just as the Sixth Master had said.

There was nothing seriously wrong, it was just that the injury on the back of my hand was aggravated by the strain, so I paused for a moment.

"Young Master Gu, this hand injury hasn't been bandaged for too long, has it?"

Xu Qingmeng quickly replied, "Yes."

While Xu Qingmeng was speaking, Gu Yunyi took out a jar of ointment from his sleeve. "Doctor, use this!"

The doctor smiled and accepted the wound medicine that he had taken out, a medicine that was only available in the military camp.

"Okay, this medicine works quickly. Let me re-bandage you."
