Su Yanqing was probably certain that if he had not met Xiao Hechuan and the others in Xianhe Village, his ending would probably have been exactly the same as in his dream.
This dream was a warning and reminder, which made him sober up and make the final decision.
Xiao Hechuan didn't know why he suddenly became upset, but he didn't ask any more questions and continued to drink with him.
Su Yanqing proposed:
"Now that everything is settled, I want to put my marriage with Lanlan on the agenda as soon as possible and set a date. What do you think, Hechuan?"
He was not in a hurry to set a wedding date before because he felt that he had a lot of troubles to solve. Now that all the troubles have been solved and the obstacles have been cleared, he naturally thinks about bringing his beloved home to marry her first.
He fell in love with Lanlan at first sight, and then fell in love with her, and the two of them were headed for each other.
"Of course, but life doesn't have to be too rushed. Lanlan is the only daughter in the family, and I think her parents are reluctant to let her go. Let her stay at home for a while longer, preferably after the autumn exam!"
Xiao Lanlan was raised and cared for by the whole family since she was a child. Although they all came from humble backgrounds, she was the only girl in the family and was of course favored, especially Xiao's father, who cared a lot about his little daughter.
When the engagement was made that day, one could vaguely see the melancholy in his heart.
Moreover, Xiao Hechuan had a plan in mind. He wanted to postpone Lanlan's wedding until after the autumn examination. By then, he would win the title of Jieyuan in one fell swoop. In this way, when Lanlan married into the Su family, people would not talk about those rumors, such as the threshold was too low or the match was not appropriate.
With her brother, the top scholar in the imperial examination, around, who would dare to look down on her?
"Of course. I will go back and discuss it with my mother. I will marry Lanlan in a grand ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight men and a red wedding dress that will last for ten miles."
Madam Su had already counted the betrothal gifts and was waiting to offer the betrothal gift. Su Yanqing was the legitimate son, and his wedding banquet would surely be extremely grand.
Su Yanqing knew what Xiao Hechuan was planning. It didn't matter if it was later. By that time, he would have almost finished dealing with all matters and could wait to be the groom peacefully.
…
After New Year's Eve, Jiang Sui has been busy with the ice cellar. She hired craftsmen to dig a cellar in her house to store ice. After several heavy snowfalls, she asked people to bring back a lot of ice from outside, first lowered the temperature and almost sealed it. By the next summer, she will have an inexhaustible supply of ice, and then launch iced drinks, which will bring another wave of traffic.
As for the big things that Xiao Hechuan and Su Yanqing were doing, she didn't know and would not get involved.
She was not surprised by the sudden news that Su Yanli was imprisoned and sentenced to be beheaded in the spring, because there were intense rumors in the market during this period, and she could hear many people talking about it every day in Xiaoji, and she also heard a lot of gossip.
Su Yanqing is also an unmentioned character in the original text. She doesn't know his experiences and can't participate in changing anything. Moreover, Su Yanli is a vicious person and he doesn't look like a good person at first glance. For him to become like this, there must be someone behind the scenes.
It went without saying that this person was Su Yanqing, and she also vaguely guessed that her husband was behind this. After all, based on her understanding of Su Yanqing, he didn't seem like someone who could set up such a sophisticated chess game, which was inconsistent with his personality.
After the New Year comes the Chinese New Year, and every household is preparing for the New Year. Last year, due to the earthquake and drought, the people of Jeju had an unforgettable New Year, which lacked the festive atmosphere. This year, I heard that Jeju Prefecture has also prepared a lantern festival on New Year's Eve. It will surely be very lively at that time. The courtesans from various brothels will sing and dance on the flower boats, and the fireworks will burn until midnight.
There are also dragon and lion dance parades, especially in the wealthy areas where it is the most lively. Major restaurants will set up lantern riddles and prepare many prizes for everyone to have fun.
Jiang Sui had never witnessed such an ancient grand occasion, so she was quite looking forward to it. After all, she had only seen such occasions in novels.
She was planning to go to the wealthy area to conduct an on-site inspection of the location and think about where it would be most appropriate to open her restaurant in the future.
She had not yet discussed with Xiao Hechuan her plan to open a restaurant, so she decided to find some time to ask for his opinion first.
Seeing that she suddenly opened an ice cellar, Xiao Lanlan knew that her fourth sister-in-law must have come up with some good idea to make money, so she asked her curiously:
"Fourth sister-in-law, what good way have you thought of to make money?"
Seeing that she was curious, Jiang Sui told her his idea. Xiao Lanlan began to look forward to the arrival of next summer. She didn't know what interesting drinks her fourth sister-in-law would make by then, and she must be the first to taste them.
There is less than a month left until the end of the year, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the New Year. There is also a very important thing to do after the New Year, which is to hold a hundred-day banquet for Xiao Mian's twin children.
This is the couple's first child, so they have to take good care of it.
The two little ones are growing cuter day by day under their mother’s care. They are fair and tender, and everyone in the family rushes to hold them every day.
The chickens in Jiang Sui's farm have grown quite big, there are nearly two hundred of them, and they will be laying eggs next year, so we are looking forward to having more chicks. When Jiang Sui's restaurant opens, roasted chicken and braised chicken will be the signature dishes.
By the way, Jiang Sui also plans to launch roast duck as a signature dish, the kind that will be limited in quantity each day. The price of the duck can be higher, and the cost of buying the duck can be directly included in it, which is equivalent to saving the cost of breeding the duck.
Wrapping roast duck in rolls is a unique and fresh way of eating in Daqing, and she is confident that it will be a big hit.
She has more signature dishes than just these, and she can’t wait to show off her skills after the New Year.
…
As this year came to an end, Xiao Hechuan successfully won the first class in the year-end examination of Baiyun Academy. The reward given by Baiyun was to exempt him from the tuition for the whole year as an encouragement.
With Ye Congwen's encouragement, Luo Ming finally returned to his previous level. Although he had always been inferior to Xiao Hechuan, he had become accustomed to it.
The motivation behind his efforts now was to get Yanzhi out of Ningxiang Pavilion as soon as possible and let her escape from that evil cave. Although the two had not met many times in the past few months, their feelings had grown deeper and deeper. Luo Ming also explained his current situation to her.
When Yanzhi heard that he was now the son-in-law of the Ye family, she did not show any disdain for him, because in her opinion, even if he was the son-in-law of the Ye family, he still had the Luo family behind him. As far as she knew, he was the legitimate son of the Luo family. The Luo family had now overcome the difficulties and believed that it would not take long to restore its former prosperity. She believed that Luo Ming would not always live under someone else's roof.
