Because Lin Mei was engaged, they returned to town on the eighth day of the New Year.

Everyone tacitly went to open their own shops.

Looking at the betrothal gift sent by Yu Shan, Li Yu was quite worried.

What should I do with Lin Mei’s dowry? She has to marry into the capital.

Li Yu didn't dare to imagine how much manpower and financial resources Yu Shan had spent to transport these things to Qingyan Town.

Li Yu is not short of money now. The book pavilion alone has earned her a lot, and there is also the share from the Zhou family.

Alas...she suddenly felt that things were becoming more complicated.

One younger generation gets married every year. Lin Qing’s wedding is this year, and Lin Mei’s is next year.

Lin He is already 19 years old, and he doesn’t know what kind of woman he will marry in the future.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

There's another big event this year: Lin He will be taking part in the Autumn Imperial Examination. (I made a mistake writing about the imperial examination earlier and skipped the part about the Autumn Imperial Examination. Sorry.)

If you pass the exam, you will become a juren and can go to Beijing to take part in the spring examination next spring.

Oh, it seems that when Lin He goes to Beijing, their family can also go there.

Go early and prepare Lin Mei’s dowry.

In this case, the timing is just right, and she can also shift her business territory again.

I guess I won’t have much time to come back in the future.

There is a Yunshang Book Pavilion in the capital, so she just needs to go there and continue with her current work.

You have to come to Yunrongju and also to a snack bar.

As for Qingyan Town, let’s wait and see.

On the tenth day, Qu Xiangbai still hadn't arrived.

Even Liao Qiwen and his wife had gone back home to celebrate the New Year, and the library was deserted.

But Chen Zongwen and A Hu are still there.

"Boss Chen, are you reading the storybook again?"

Hearing Li Yu's voice, Chen Zongwen dropped what he was saying and stood up.

"Sister Li, come in quickly. I've read your new storybook, and this is what it says."

He gave a metaphorical thumbs up.

“Is it on the shelves?”

What Li Yu cares about most is, of course, sales!

These are all pure silver, who doesn’t love silver?

"Not yet. We're preparing the stock first and aiming to put it on the shelves for the Lantern Festival."

Money-loving Chen Zongwen understands Li Yu's thoughts too well.

"Sister Li is going to make a fortune again this time, with a share from the bookstore and a share from book sales.

You made a lot of money this time."

"There's nothing I can do. My daughter needs to get married, and my son needs to find a wife. So, neither of them needs money."

Hearing Li Yu's tone, Chen Zongwen knew that the Lin family's daughter's marriage was settled.

"Whose house is it? I'll go drink with you when the time comes."

Speaking of this, Li Yu felt embarrassed. Did they count as poaching King Xian's girlfriend?

After all, Yu Shan originally came with King Xian.

"You know him."

"Someone I know?"

Chen Zongwen thought about it, but he couldn't think of any young man he knew who could catch this person's eye.

"Sister Li, just tell me, I really can't figure out who it is."

"Yushan."

Yu Shan? Chen Zongwen never imagined that the Lin family would marry into the family of the Minister of War.

It really is getting better and better.

He never thought that person would be Yu Shan.

But this is also his ability, he won't say anything.

He just said dryly: "Sister, you are really amazing."

Li Yu: ......

What's so great about me? If there's anyone who's great, it must be my daughter.

Since Yu Shan got engaged to Lin Mei, he was no longer in a hurry to return to Beijing.

Now he is the shopkeeper of Yunrongju.

This man is truly a breath of fresh air among the young masters of aristocratic families, Li Yu thought.

He doesn't like money or power, but he likes books. Now he is chasing after Lin Mei.

Although his family is rich, he can't just sit there doing nothing.

Regarding this matter, Li Yu specifically asked him what his plan was.

After being asked several times, he stammered and said that he had already promised his father.

After getting married, I went to the Dali Temple.

.......

After hearing this, Li Yu really wanted to shout 6 to him, saying that you rich people really know how to have fun.

The Ministry of Works didn't want to work anymore and ran away, but now he can be assigned to the Dali Temple.

It is indeed a height that ordinary people like us cannot reach.

In fact, Li Yu really wronged Yu Shan. It was his grandmother who would never agree to him marrying Lin Mei.

In the end, both sides took a step back, and his father went to see King Xian and arranged for him to be sent to the Dali Temple.

His grandmother agreed only after she saw that he was content to stay in the capital.

After all, he was a third place winner in the imperial examination. Who would be so lucky as to not work hard?

Not ashamed.

And just like that, he returned to the officialdom that he hated the most.

But it’s better this time, because it’s the Dali Temple, not as idle as the Ministry of Works before.
