Chapter 468 Confirmation at Yiren Pavilion
Tang's mother was so angry that her chest ached. She sat on the chair and stomped her foot hard, looking like she was about to cry.
Seeing that Tang Wenqian still hadn't changed his mind, Tang's mother stood up angrily, "Fine, fine, let's go, okay? We're going back to Jiangyuan County now, back home."
"Thank you for your understanding, Mother."
Tang's mother had no intention of understanding her at all. She glared at him fiercely, walked heavily out the door, and went to talk to the landlord about the cancellation of the lease.
Tang Wenqian sighed, and thinking of the exiled group, he unconsciously frowned and quickly began packing his things.
He brought a lot of things with him when he came to take the exam, not just books, but also various cooking utensils such as stoves and sleeping utensils needed for the provincial examination.
By the time Tang's mother returned, Tang Wenqian had almost finished tidying up.
"Mom, you go ahead with your work, I'll go to town to rent a car."
Tang's mother went to her room to pack her luggage. She didn't have much stuff, and she finished packing quickly. She then waited at the door for Tang Wenqian to return.
Tang Wenqian rented a donkey cart. They didn't have much money, so they naturally tried to save as much as possible.
If they pass the imperial examination this time, the county government, the county school, and the village will all provide subsidies, which will make their family more financially secure.
After placing his luggage on the donkey cart, Tang Wenqian bid farewell to the other examinees who lived in the village.
The test takers were quite puzzled. Why was he leaving before the results were even released?
Tang Wenqian said that there had been an emergency at home and he couldn't wait for the results to be released, so he had to go home first.
After saying their goodbyes and exchanging a few more words, Tang Wenqian and his mother finally set off.
They rented a donkey cart, which was slow and naturally couldn't compare to a horse-drawn carriage.
If the horse-drawn carriage had traveled quickly, it would have arrived in Jiangyuan County by evening. However, Tang Wenqian and his donkey cart did not finally enter the county seat of Jiangyuan County until the afternoon of the following day.
As soon as they entered the city, Tang's mother asked him, "Are we going to the Lu family now?"
The second branch of the Lu family now lives in the county town, so there's really no need for them to go home. Therefore, Tang Wenqian nodded and headed straight for Ningshui Street.
He didn't know the address of Liufang Lane, but he did know the address of Yiren Pavilion on Ningshui Street.
The donkey cart stopped at the entrance of Yiren Pavilion. Tang Wenqian took a deep breath and got out of the cart with his mother.
Although Yiren Pavilion has been open for more than two months, this is the first time Tang Wenqian and his mother have come here.
Tang Wenqian remained relatively calm, but his mother felt a pang of sadness.
Originally, the Lu family's second branch was the one that had the hardest time in Shangshi Village. But now, thanks to the return of Lu's second daughter, Lu Erbai's family has suddenly become the most promising people in Shangshi Village.
Although the shop isn't very big, this is Ningshui Street, the most bustling street in Jiangyuan County, where shops are extremely rare. Even though this shop is located at the very back, business is still booming.
Tang's mother looked at the decorations in the shop and the clothes hanging on the racks; she didn't even dare to touch them.
The fabric of this garment looks high-quality; it must be expensive, at least several hundred coins.
"Scholar Tang, Sister-in-law Tang, what brings you here?" A surprised voice came from behind the counter.
Hearing the voice, Tang's mother turned her head. She hadn't seen Lu Erbai for more than two months. Now, seeing him again, he seemed like a completely different person, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Once a person has money, even their complexion changes.
And look at him standing there, even his leg seems to be healed?
Tang's mother remained silent, so Tang Wenqian naturally stepped forward and spoke, "Uncle Lu."
