This business has been extremely popular since the day it opened. The seats are always full before mealtime, mainly because the food tastes unique.
"County Lady, this is the income for the past half month, please take a look." Chief Steward Lu Ming handed over the account book respectfully with a smile on his face.
"Put it down."
Lu Yao looked up at him and found that Lu Ming had not only gained weight but also become much whiter during these days in Beijing.
Tsk, is it the water in the capital that nourishes people or is it the wealth that nourishes people?
Seeing Lu Yao sizing him up, Lu Ming felt uneasy. The Second Young Lady was becoming more and more like a county lady, and he couldn't bear to look directly at her. "County Lady, if there's nothing else, I'll... go down and take care of it."
"Go ahead."
Lu Ming felt as if he had been pardoned, and he bowed and walked out.
Seeing Lu Ming leave, Nuan Yu whispered, "County Lady, have you noticed that Chief Steward Lu Ming is even more charming and graceful in the capital than in Huayang County?"
"Ha..." Lu Yao laughed out loud, "Your description is quite appropriate. He has indeed become much more plump and slender..."
The master and servant chatted for a while, and then Lu Yao began to look through the account book carefully.
As it was getting close to noon, Lu Yao's eyelids began to twitch violently. She rubbed her eyes and went to the window to look out into the distance.
Just at this moment, Lu Yuan's family of four entered Lu Yuan Qiong Tower from the back door.
"County Lady, do you want to bring up lunch now?"
"Okay, finish your meal early and go home early."
Nuan Yu left for a moment and quickly returned, "County Lady, who's here?"
"Auntie!" The two little ones ran in first.
Lu Yao was overjoyed and quickly bent down to hug the two little ones in her arms.
Lu Yuan and Si Chuyu walked in and stood for a moment. When Lu Yao looked over, the couple hurriedly bowed to greet Lu Yao.
"Meet Yaohua..."
"Sister, brother-in-law," Lu Yao hurriedly stopped them, leading the two children over. "We're family, no need for formalities. Come and sit down. Lunch will be served shortly."
As soon as he sat down, Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yao carefully and found that she had become dignified, generous, bright and charming. There was no longer the timidity in her eyes, and there was a kind of momentum that she could not describe.
"Sister, brother-in-law, when did you arrive?" Lu Yao asked as she poured tea for the family of four. "Why didn't you send a message in advance? I could have gone to the city gate to pick you up."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm going to give you a surprise, isn't it? How about it? Are you happy that I'm bringing my two children to Beijing?"
"Of course I'm happy. Don't rush back this time."
"Of course, if you want to go back, you should wait until you marry the second son of the Meng family."
When Meng Zihe was mentioned, Lu Yao blushed, "It's... still early."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's not too early. It's only a few months away. The old lady of the Meng family went to your house a few days ago and wanted to move up your wedding date."
Lu Yao was shocked, "Sister, you didn't agree, did you?"
"No, how can we change the date we have set?"
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"...However, we have discussed having you get married in Beijing. I'm coming here in advance to make good preparations and make sure your wedding is a grand occasion. Grandfather, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt will all be here."
"Is Grandfather in good health?"
"It's going great. You and Brother Jie have been awarded titles one after another. He is so happy that he can't stop smiling. He is in better and better spirits."
Lu Yao was relieved. "Grandfather has come to the capital to retire there... Why don't you all come to the capital too, sister and brother-in-law, and not return to Huayang County? The whole family can live in the capital, okay?"
When Si Chuyu saw the food being brought in, he hurriedly said, "Sister Yao'er, there's no rush. The most important thing right now is your wedding... Let's eat first."
At the end of the Shen period, the bell of the Imperial College was struck on time and the gate of the Imperial College slowly opened from the inside.
Half a cup of tea later, the students of the Imperial College filed out.
"Daddy, which one is my uncle?"
The brother and sister were sitting on Si Chuyu's shoulders, looking towards the gate of the Imperial College.
"Don't worry, he hasn't come out yet. Your uncle will see us first when he comes out."
Si Chuyu, his son and his two sons were standing in front of the carriage of Leshan Marquis Mansion at this time.
The students who came out first saw the three well-dressed father and son standing in front of the carriage of Marquis Leshan's mansion, and they couldn't help but feel curious and took a few more glances.
Who are they?
Could it be the family of Marquis Xiao Leshan?
The student didn't dare stay at the door for too long. He was curious for a moment and then left quickly.
Of course, those students who loved the franchise were in no hurry to leave.
Half a cup of tea later, Meng Zilu walked out of the Imperial College with the three children.
"Second brother, look, that man looks a lot like your eldest brother-in-law."
There was no math class today. Su Ningjie was confused by the Four Books and Five Classics. He looked up and said, "Oh, he does look a lot like my eldest brother-in-law."
"Brother Jie." Meng Zilu patted Su Ningjie's shoulder, "Wake up, this is your brother-in-law."
Su Ningjie looked again, his chaotic mind instantly cleared up, and he ran over with joy, "Brother-in-law, it really is you! Wow, my nephew and niece have grown so big, let me hug them..."
