Chapter 190: Scholar

After Song Ruize left, Qin Huiyin closed the gate.

As I turned around, I saw a dark shadow standing at the bedroom door in front of me.

She was startled, patted her chest, and said helplessly: "Mom, you scared me."

"That boy is injured again?" Li Taohua leaned against the door and said lazily.

"Just a minor injury."

"What's the matter with his return this time?"

"He said he forgot something at home."

Li Taohua's gaze stayed on Qin Huiyin.

Qin Huiyin was still wearing the cloak, which was the same style as the one Song Ruize had just worn, but in a different color.

This kid...

Like raising a younger sister?

I never noticed he had this habit before.

If we had discovered it earlier, we would have been nicer to him.

Her daughter is so cute, who can not like her?

As long as the person loves her daughter, she doesn't care about any disaster or evil spirit or coffin.

Seeing that Li Taohua asked so many questions, Qin Huiyin thought that she was going to persuade her not to associate with him as she did before, but she said nothing. She just asked a few questions and went back to her room.

Before dawn, Song Ruize drove away in his carriage. However, just as the carriage reached the gate of the Tang family, the gate opened and Qin Huiyin stood there holding a homemade lantern.

"I guess you will leave the village at this time too." Qin Huiyin said, "Breakfast is ready, come in and eat before you leave."

Song Ruize got off the carriage and tied it up.

This time when he stepped into the Tang family's house again, he didn't even have any shy attitude. He stepped into the Tang family's territory openly and even helped Qin Huiyin.

It was still early, and Qin Huiyin didn't want to go into the city today, so she wanted to have breakfast later. Song Ruize was eating the wontons she made, and she dozed off beside him.

The lantern was placed on the table, illuminating her face.

Song Ruize was eating wontons when he looked up and saw her round and cute little face.

Her eyelashes are very long, and when they flutter, they look like beautiful little butterflies.

Qin Huiyin suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and looked at him, meeting his gaze.

Song Ruize lowered his head and took a bite, but suddenly choked and started coughing violently.

Qin Huiyin stood up, patted his back, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to eat? Even if you are in a hurry, there is no need to rush now."

Song Ruize coughed up the water he had choked on and buried his head in eating the wontons. His movements became faster and faster. After he finished quickly, he put down the spoon in his hand and said, "I'm leaving first."

"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin took out a large bag of things from the kitchen. "Take these over to eat. You just got injured, so you need to replenish your body. Oh, and take this medicine with you, too."

Song Ruize took it and said, "Go back to sleep!"

"Then go slowly." Qin Huiyin yawned, "I'm going to take a nap."

Busy days always pass quickly. Qin Huiyin calculated the time and when the day of the announcement came, she stopped her business for the day and took her whole family to the city to see the list.

In fact, after Tang Yichen finished the exam, his whole family went to the examination room to pick him up. Qin Huiyin originally wanted him to stay at home for a few days, but Tang Yichen felt that if he went back before the results were out, the villagers would often disturb him. Instead of going back to the village and being disturbed, it would be better to stay in the academy to continue studying. After the results were out, he would go back to celebrate with his family.

The day of the announcement of the results was always very lively. Not only did the students from various academies come that day, but also their families. However, Qin Huiyin had already made arrangements and took them directly to the opposite side.

Opposite is a teahouse, which is also owned by the Xia family. Qin Huiyin had already picked out the location and told Xia Ruwan that she would go to the teahouse to see the result today.

Li Taohua and his wife stood at the window with their four children, looking in the direction of the bulletin board opposite.

"It's still early, everyone can have some tea and snacks first. When the list comes out, you can listen to the noise outside and see the result by standing in front of the window."

Xia Ruwan's voice came over.

Qin Huiyin turned around and saw Xia Ruwan appear. She smiled and greeted her: "Sister Xia."

Xia Ruwan smiled and said, "Our shop is ready, and we are just waiting for the tables and chairs to be delivered. Carpenter Zhang said that everything will be finished in five days. Should we start selecting our employees?"

"I want to personally select the guys and train them as employees. Do you have any requirements, sister?"

"We agreed that I would only be responsible for paying the bills, and you would be responsible for the recipes of the ingredients and the management of the personnel. In that case, I will leave it entirely to you. I only need to check the accounts once a month."

There was a noisy sound coming from outside, and when they heard it, they knew that the list had been announced.

Qin Huiyin strode over and stood in front of the window looking outside.

Tang Yichen pulled her over and let her stand in the front.

Qin Huiyin, Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were the shortest, and the three of them stood at the front. Tang Yichen and Tang Dafu and his wife stood in the back row. Several pairs of eyes looked eagerly at the direction of the list.

Although they had great confidence in Tang Yichen, they were still worried until they saw the results.

The officers came out with a huge list, tied it to two tall wooden poles, and hung them up.

People who were looking at the list rushed forward.

"Brother, you are the first." Tang Yi pointed at the list opposite and shouted excitedly.

Tang Yichen let out a light breath.

"This is just a college entrance examination. The questions are not difficult, and passing the exam is nothing."

"Mr. Tang is too modest. You can't let those who failed the exam hear what you said, otherwise they may not be able to leave my teahouse in one piece." Xia Ruwan said, "Besides, Mr. Tang got the first place. There are so many people who passed the exam, but only one person got the first place, which means that your ability is above these people."

"Ms. Xia, you are too kind." Tang Yichen said politely.

"Today is a big day. As a friend of Miss Huiyin, I also want to share in the joy of Mr. Xiucai. How about I treat you all to a simple meal at the restaurant?"

"Thank you, Sister Xia. However, there is no reason for you to spend money. Today, our whole family will go to Sister Xia's restaurant for dinner. Sister Xia can give us a discount."

"You don't want me to be affected by the scholar's happiness?"

"We are having dinner at Sister Xia's restaurant to bring joy to Sister Xia. Besides, look at those excited people outside. I'm afraid Sister Xia won't be able to contain her joy."

"Okay, then I'll prepare my best signature dishes for you. Is that okay?"

As the Tang family members left the teahouse, Tang Yichen stopped and said to Qin Huiyin, "Little sister, I saw my mentor. Can I invite him to the meal today?"

"Brother, since you want to invite people, just invite the teachers from the private school and the academy! You got the first place in the exam, so you should hold a farewell banquet for the teachers." Qin Huiyin said.

"It's just..." Tang Yichen hesitated, "Today we are all together as a family, we should celebrate with our own people first."

"The teachers are all here looking at the list. Now is the best time to invite them to dinner. We'll have to invite them one by one on another day, and they may not be free. In order not to disturb you, we'll be in the next room. When you and the teachers have had enough to drink, we can pick you up." Qin Huiyin said, "It's settled. Let's set up the thank-you banquet today."
