Chapter 829: We should celebrate
Zhang Juexia was busy with the opening of Shengxia Fish Restaurant when Li Yun brought her letters from Li Yingyue and Chen Xuan.
Zhang Juexia couldn't wait to open it and read it, "Shen Lingchuan won the third place in the imperial examination."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was working stopped what they were doing and looked in her direction.
Zhang Juexia stood up excitedly, "Li Yingyue's husband has won the third place in the imperial examination."
"Madam, Miss Li's husband is so amazing!"
"That's great! The Li family can now stand up again."
Li Yun looked at Zhang Juexia worriedly, "Madam, Miss Li's husband has passed the imperial examination. Will the Li family take back the shop they sold to us?"
“How could that be!
We have completed the necessary formalities."
"But their son-in-law has become a top scholar in the imperial examination. Will they bully others by taking advantage of their power?"
"No, no, Sister Yang, you're overthinking it."
"What if Miss Li knew that you bought the Li family shop? Would she resent you, Madam?"
"No, I've already sent a letter to Yingyue before doing these things."
Li Yun patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good."
Then she laughed too, "Ms. Li is truly blessed!"
"I knew Shen Lingchuan was a man of great ambition. I hope he will have a successful career."
Zhang Juexia called Ye Beilin, the owner of Shengxia Fish Restaurant, and said, "Beilin, have someone put up a sign at the door saying that to celebrate Shen Juren's success in the imperial examination, all drinks are free for customers who eat fish in our shop tomorrow."
Ye Beilin was confused, "Sister-in-law, this is the Shen and Li families' wedding, why are we getting free drinks?"
"I'd love to, okay?"
Ye Beilin went to do his work while mumbling.
Li Yun understood Zhang Juexia's good intentions, "Madam, you and Miss Li have a really good relationship!"
"I am happy for Yingyue from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Juexia opened Chen Xuan's letter again and started reading. Half of Chen Xuan's letter was about Li Yingyue. He told Zhang Juexia that Li Yingyue's canned food shop in the capital was doing very good business.
He would help look after things a bit, and he also asked about Zhang Juexia's Fish Restaurant. He said that if the business in Shunhe County was good, he also wanted to open one in the capital.
After all, there is no restaurant in the capital that specializes in fish.
Zhang Juexia planned to write back to Li Yingyue and Chen Xuan after returning home.
Ye Beixiu, who was busy outside, heard the discussions of people on the street and hurried back home.
"My lady, Mr. Shen has passed the high school entrance exam!"
"I already know the good news."
"I'm so happy for him!"
"Husband, I have decided that all drinks in our newly opened fish restaurant will be free tomorrow, just to celebrate Mr. Shen's high school entrance exam."
"As it should be, as it should be, this is also a good omen!"
.
Li Jinyuan called housekeeper Li and discussed how to celebrate his son-in-law's admission to high school.
Butler Li's face flushed with excitement, "Master, the young lady is truly blessed!
Who would have thought that my son-in-law would be able to pass the imperial examination on his first trip to the capital, and even become the third place in the imperial examination.
This is the third place winner personally chosen by the Emperor!"
"Who would have thought that the current top scholar would be the son-in-law of my Li family!"
After listening to Li Jinyuan's sigh, Butler Li told Li Jinyuan the news that Zhang Juexia's new shop had opened and all drinks were free.
"I heard that Mrs. Ye gave all the drinks for free to celebrate my son-in-law's high school graduation."
"Well, Madam Ye is really courageous.
Go and invite your wife over now, and we in the Li family will have to discuss how to celebrate."
Liu Wanru was invited. When she learned that Zhang Juexia’s new shop was free of charge for drinks, just to celebrate Shen Lingchuan’s high school graduation, she curled her lips and said, “Why does Zhang Juexia have everything?
I think in the future, Yingyue will be even more unable to get rid of her.
Our son-in-law has become the third place in the imperial examination, she must be hugging Yingyue's thighs tightly."
Li Jinyuan was so angry that his beard stood up, "Can you speak?
Juexia did that only because she and Yingyue had a deep sisterly bond, and she did it out of genuine happiness for Yingyue."
Liu Wanru was also anxious. She was disgusted by Li Jinyuan's constant defense of Zhang Juexia. She slammed the table and stood up suddenly. "Her surname is Zhang, and she is now a wife of the Ye family. She has nothing to do with us Yingyue. Do we need her to be so hypocritical?"
Li Jinyuan knew that he couldn't convince Liu Wanru, so he stopped arguing with her. "Madam, I want to discuss with you how our Li family should celebrate."
“Of course we have to celebrate.
I want to let those who look down on our Qi'er have a good look at me.
His brother-in-law was the third place in the imperial examination.
Master, I will go to Zuixianlou to book a banquet now, and then send out invitations. I want all the prominent families in Shunhe County to know that our son-in-law is the third place in the imperial examination.
I just don't believe it. Our son-in-law has won the third place in the imperial examination, and these people can still look down on Qi'er.
I promise to make them regret not agreeing to marry Qi'er.
Humph, let them regret it!
I have to choose carefully for Qi'er's marriage this time.
In the past, they always picked us, but today I can finally show off my skills and choose a daughter-in-law."
Li Jinyuan looked at Liu Wanru speechlessly. When did she become so competitive?
"Ma'am, please understand that this time it's only our son-in-law who has won the third place in the imperial examination.
In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with our Li family."
Li Jinyuan's words were like a basin of cold water that chilled Liu Wanru's heart.
"Master, how wonderful it would be if our Qi'er won the third place in the imperial examination!"
Li Jinyuan snorted coldly, "Just him?
That will have to wait until the sun rises in the west."
"Master, Qi'er is our own flesh and blood after all, you dare not say that to him.
I'll have to ask the matchmaker later, Qi'er's marriage can't be delayed any longer."
Li Qi, who was lying in his yard, was also very annoyed after hearing the news about Shen Lingchuan's high school.
“How could he win?
Why did he win?
Now, Li Yingyue is better than me again."
When he learned that Li Jinyuan wanted to celebrate this event, he was so angry that he picked up the teacup next to him and threw it out.
"No matter how much we celebrate, he's still a son-in-law. There's a difference between him and my son."
Li Qi was going to Liu Wanru's yard to have a good fight with her.
Unexpectedly, he came up empty-handed. When he learned that Liu Wanru was discussing matters with Li Jinyuan in the study, he found a corner and sat down.
"Have you heard? The young lady's husband has graduated from high school?"
"really?"
"Is this really true? Our young lady looks very blessed.
And Madam Ye is also a blessed person."
"They are both good and capable."
"Mrs. Ye and our young lady really have a real relationship!
There will definitely be a lot of people on the opening day, and the drinks alone will cost a lot of money!"
