Chapter 469 It really was her
Lu Erbai laughed, "It's rare for Scholar Tang to come all this way. Come, come, sit down, I'll pour you some tea."
He came out from behind the counter, and although he still walked a little unnaturally, he really didn't need a cane anymore.
But before he could make a move, the old lady who came out from the backyard had already brought over the cups. She greeted the two of them with a smile, saying, "I'll do it, you go and watch the counter."
She had just finished making the dolls and was putting them in the shop when she heard a familiar voice outside.
Tang's mother took the water and then spoke as Tang Wenqian had instructed, "Well, the provincial examination is over, and we just came back from the prefectural city. Wenqian has been studying hard these days, and now that the exam is finally over, we thought we'd bring him here for a stroll. The weather is getting cooler, so we thought we'd buy some cloth to make him some clothes. I heard that your shop is located on Ningshui Street, and you sell ready-made clothes, so we thought we'd come and take a look, and see if you have anything suitable for our Wenqian."
Lu Erbai slapped his forehead. "Scholar Tang went to the prefectural city for the exam? Look at me, I completely forgot about it. How did it go? Did he pass?"
The main reason was that they were very busy at home before, and with Shuyu about to leave, they had no time to pay attention to anything else.
"We don't know yet. The exam just ended, and the results won't be released until September. This time, he's just going to give it a try. It's his first time taking the exam, and the county school's instructor told him not to put too much pressure on himself and to just go and see what it's like."
Although Tang's mother said this, she was still very proud of herself. She thought that even if the results had not been released yet, Tang Xiucai should have done well.
If there were such a young scholar in the village, it would be a great joy for all the villagers.
Lu Erbai was happy, and the old lady next to him was also happy. She went behind the counter and got some snacks for them.
He added, "In any case, congratulations in advance. However, our shop currently only sells women's clothing, so we don't have any clothes suitable for Scholar Tang."
Tang's mother sighed, quite regretfully, "Then I'll go to the fabric shop and buy a couple of pieces of cloth to make it myself. By the way, since you run a clothing store, do you know which fabric shop has good quality and cheap fabric?"
The old lady knew this, but the fabrics in their shop were all top-quality, and they bought in large quantities directly from the largest fabric shop on Ningshui Street.
In the early stages, Shu Yu handled all the negotiations for the cloth. Later, when Ruan Shi went to get the goods, she could basically just go with the manager according to the contract.
But this was definitely not suitable for Tang's mother. The old lady knew the Tang family's situation. No matter how good the fabric was, it could never compare to the fabric in the shop.
Therefore, the old lady couldn't give her any advice. Especially with Tang's mother's personality, if she told the truth, she was afraid she would think that the Lu family looked down on her now that they were rich.
The old lady and Lu Erbai exchanged a glance and could only say, "Well, I really don't know. It was Ayu who handled the fabric purchase."
Speaking of Shu Yu, Tang's mother immediately asked, "Where's your second daughter? Isn't she here?"
The old lady chuckled, "She's gone on a long trip and probably won't be back anytime soon."
Upon hearing this, both Tang's mother and Tang Wenqian's expressions changed.
Tang Wenqian was alright, but Tang's mother could barely maintain her smile.
Has he gone on a long trip? Or will he not be back for a while? Perhaps he has already been exiled?
