Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "Everyone, please line up first."

After meeting Xiao Qingyin, the nanny from the orphanage directed the children to line up in four small teams.

The students carefully weighed the children, measured their height, checked their pulses, and examined their teeth...

Ruan Lanruo stood next to Xiao Qingyin and said with a smile, "I've been looking for you several times, but you're never in the manor. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Xiao Qingyin knew about her visit, but since she wasn't in a hurry and was just dropping by, and she was busy, she didn't think much of it.

"Sorry, I was too busy before."

She laughed.

"Is the child alright?"

“He’s fine,” Ruan Lanruo replied. “He can already call me ‘Mother.’”

"This is when they are most endearing and pitiful."

"That's right."

Ruan Lanruo laughed.

"Whenever I hear him call me 'Mom' in his sweet, childish voice, my heart melts completely, and I feel like I could pluck the moon and stars off the ground for him."

Xiao Qingyin chuckled softly.

After chatting for a while, she suddenly remembered: "Did you have a full moon celebration? I don't think I received an invitation."

A strange light flashed across Ruan Lanruo's eyes.

“It’s done,” she replied. “But we didn’t invite any outsiders. Only people from the household celebrated. He wasn’t feeling well at the time, and we were afraid that too many people would disturb his vital energy.”

"so."

Xiao Qingyin felt somewhat ashamed.

She was so focused on treating patients and teaching that she didn't even think about the child.

"You invited me to visit Zhilan Pavilion before, but I haven't been able to find the time. I'm relatively free today, so I can go and have a look later. Is it convenient for you here?"

Ruan Lanruo smiled and said, "I couldn't be happier for you to come. There's no inconvenience at all."

"Okay, we'll go over after they finish their medical check-ups."

Ruan Lanruo nodded.

When Xiao Qingyin went to check on her medical examination results, she called over a servant and whispered, "Go and tell the nanny that the Empress is coming to the shop."

The servant obeyed and left.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qingyin went to Zhilan Pavilion with Ruan Lanruo.

Surprisingly, Zhilan Pavilion was empty, with hardly any customers in sight.

Ruan Lanruo smiled and said, "Don't you think it doesn't match the rumors?"

Xiao Qingyin nodded.

"I thought I would see a lot of people rushing to buy it."

Ruan Lanruo smiled and said, "We rarely have customers coming to the shop; we usually deliver the tea to their homes."

“That’s true. You’re selling tea, not running a teahouse. Regular customers won’t come to the shop.”

"Yes."

Xiao Qingyin toured the place. Zhilan Pavilion had two floors; the first floor was for display, and the second floor was for receiving guests.

There were thirty or forty kinds of Pu'er tea on the display shelf.

Each one has a name.

Phrases such as "May your house be filled with gold and jade," "May you have abundance every year," and "May you have both good fortune and longevity."

The meanings all sound very auspicious.

Ruan Lanruo brewed several different kinds of drinks for her, each with its own unique flavor.

While enjoying tea on the second floor, Xiao Qingyin saw a simply dressed old woman clutching her chest and walking over with a nervous expression.

She was quite anxious after being stopped at the door by the waiter.

"I brought gold bars with me."

She whispered to the waiter.

"Payment is accepted."

The waiter shook his head: "We're closed for today. Please come back another day."

The old lady stared at the open door: "It's still open, so why are you closed?"

"Our boss is entertaining friends, so we won't be doing business this afternoon."

"I just want to mention a house full of gold and jade, it won't take much effort, will it?"

The waiter still shook his head.

Please come again tomorrow.
