Chapter 1265 Something is happening
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I'd better go back. I came to Beijing in a hurry and there are many things I haven't explained yet."
Madam Liu also said, "We still have to go back to Longzhou to pay respect to our ancestors. Your father must have his grievances redressed, so we must visit his grave."
Zhou Silang started planning his arrival. He was still completely clueless about the capital and had not decided whether to stay there.
However, seeing Manbao's confident look, although he still preferred Yizhou, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Lao Wu, is the restaurant profitable?"
Zhou Wulang said, "Yes, business is getting better and better, and I'm making quite a bit of money."
Zhou Silang's eyes lit up slightly, and he became happy. "How much money did you make?"
Zhou Wulang: "I spent all the money I earned."
Zhou Silang was dumbfounded. "So little? How is that any different from not earning anything at all?"
How much can flowers cost?
Since it’s not a question of spending, it’s a question of earning.
Zhou Silang said earnestly, "Wulang, if you want to run a business, you need to know how to spend money. Don't be as stingy as you were at home. You already have a wife, so why are you still saving money?"
Zhou Wulang glanced at him and said, "Who said I was stingy? When Lijun comes back, ask her how much money we've earned. Besides, who says you don't have to save money after you get married? My son has to get married too."
"Okay, stop arguing," Manbao said, standing between his two brothers as usual, "Fifth brother and his family made a lot of money, and they spent it all on me."
Zhou Silang glared at Manbao.
Man Bao said: "I was assassinated before. In order to get someone to rescue me, I spent hundreds of gold in the bounty, and I spent all the money."
Zhou Silang's eyes widened. "You, you were assassinated? Isn't the King of Yizhou dead?"
"It was done when the King of Yizhou escaped from the capital." The letter Manbao sent back only reported good news, not bad news, so the Zhou family didn't know about this. But now Zhou Silang was here, and seeing her safe and sound, Manbao was so excited that he exaggerated the life-and-death struggle of that day. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang added to it, and the three of them described the story with ups and downs, and described each of them as very heroic.
Zhou Silang and the Xiang family were all stunned.
Because Xiang Mingxue and Xiang Chao were still imprisoned at that time, they only vaguely knew that they had been assassinated, but they did not know about such twists and turns, so they were stunned for a moment.
Seeing how excited they were talking, Mr. Zhuang smiled, shook his head, and let them go.
The yard was bustling with activity. When it was almost dark, Old Lady Liu took Zheng and said goodbye, returning to Erliu Lane. Zhou Liulang and the others also came back, and the yard became even more lively.
The moon gradually rose higher, and it was too cold outside. Zhou Silang asked Sanzi and the others to go to bed, and Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang's rooms were given to Xiang Mingxue, so they lived together with Zhou Silang in the front yard.
It's just one night anyway, and they have to go back to the store early tomorrow morning.
The three brothers and their two older nephews sat cross-legged on the big bunk bed. Manbao and Zhou Lijun dug out two quilts and brought them to them. Bai Shan also rummaged through his own cabinet and contributed one.
Bai Erlang contributed a lot of delicious food and brought a lot of things over on a tray. Then they sat cross-legged on the big bunk and talked.
Zhou Lijun briefly talked about the restaurant's operations and profits. She knew all of this in her mind and knew it without having to look through the account books.
Zhou Silang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the restaurant hadn't lost money. He then took out the money he had brought and showed it to Manbao. "My parents were worried that you would be wronged in the capital, so they asked me to bring all the money from home. But you don't need it now, you have to take it back later."
Manbao asked, "Fourth brother, how are you going to sell your herbs?"
"Tomorrow, shall I go with you to meet the owner of Jishitang?"
"Okay, I'll take you there, and then you two can talk."
Zhou Silang asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go to the palace to see the prince."
Zhou Silang swallowed his saliva and said, "Little sister, are you so powerful now?"
Bai Erlang said, "What's the big deal? She even treated the Queen."
Manbao raised his little head complacently, and Zhou Silang said that he needed to take a break and wait until he recovered.
Everyone left him to relax, and started talking to themselves, "It's really cold."
Zhou Liulang said, "They say it's going to snow soon, and it'll be even colder after the snow. I think we need to prepare a few more braziers in our restaurant, otherwise when our distinguished guests come, it might be too cold to sit in the private room."
Zhou Lijun was sensitive and asked, "Who said that?"
Zhou Lizhong chuckled, "It must be Sister Qiu from the mutton restaurant next door. I saw Uncle Six standing at the door talking to her this morning."
Zhou Silang came to his senses immediately after hearing this, and threw all the Queen and Crown Prince issues out of his mind. He grabbed Zhou Liulang and asked with a smile, "Are you finally planning to get married?"
Zhou Liulang's face flushed red. "...Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with anyone."
But Zhou Silang didn't think so. When had Lao Liu ever blushed when talking about getting married?
He grabbed Zhou Liulang and said, "If you like me, then I like you. Why are you being so shy, man?"
Manbao and the other two were also very curious, and they all stared at Zhou Liulang with bright eyes.
Zhou Liulang looked troubled. "It's true, Fourth Brother, don't believe everything you hear. If you don't believe me, ask Fifth Brother and Li Jun."
Zhou Silang looked at Zhou Wulang and Zhou Lijun. These two seemed to be more stable than Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei.
Zhou Wulang said, "Father and Mother may not agree to this marriage."
Zhou Lijun said, "Sister Qiu likes Uncle Six."
Zhou Liulang: ...
Zhou Silang: "What's this messed up generational hierarchy? Why don't my father and mother agree? Their family is very prominent."
Zhou Wulang said, "Not that prominent, but certainly richer than our family."
"So what? Our family is not bad now. We will never treat their daughter badly."
Zhou Wulang: "But they only have one daughter."
Zhou Silang figured it out, "They want to come over? That's inappropriate..."
Zhou Lijun finally interrupted, "You haven't asked Sister Qiu, so how do you know she wants a live-in son-in-law?"
Zhou Liulang sighed deeply and said, "Why are there so many people in this world who worry about others?"
Manbao asked him curiously, "Sixth Brother, don't you like that Sister Qiu?"
Zhou Liulang tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't like her, it's just that I haven't thought about marrying her."
Bai Shan also became curious, "Who do you want to marry?"
"I don't think about anyone," Zhou Liulang said. "Running a restaurant is tiring. There's so much to do every day, and then there's the reconciliation. I'm so exhausted I don't even want to soak my feet. How can I have the time to think about these things?"
Upon hearing this, Manbao immediately turned to Zhou Wulang and Zhou Lijun and said, "Fifth brother, Lijun, you can't always order Sixth brother around like this. Hire a few more people in the kitchen so that Sixth brother won't be so busy and can think about getting married."
Zhou Wulang turned his head and looked at Zhou Liulang, "... Lao Liu, if you want to be lazy, just tell me directly."
Zhou Liulang:...I'm not, I didn't!
Bai Shan bows and asks for monthly tickets
I was thinking about pulling a few people out for a walk these days to ask for monthly tickets.
The next update will be around 9pm
