Yu Fuling's wedding date is approaching, and she will marry Zhao Yu this time when she returns. After this separation, the capital is far away from Qingzhou due to the long distance between the capital and Qingzhou, and it may take a long time for them to see each other.
She had always treated Yu Jiao as her sister-in-law, but now things have changed and no one knows what the future will be like.
But she was grateful to Yu Jiao from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for Yu Jiao, she wouldn't have the healthy body to come to the capital for the imperial examination. If it weren't for Yu Jiao, their second branch would still be living the same miserable life as before. If it weren't for Yu Jiao, she, a country girl, would never have the opportunity to travel outside and see the prosperity of the capital.
Yu Jiaohui held Yu Fuling's hand, feeling somewhat reluctant, but all good things must come to an end, and everyone has his or her own life.
"I will see you off on the day you leave." She prepared some dowry for Yu Fuling, but she couldn't see her off to get married. Liu Sanniang and her son were no longer in Qingzhou. For her, apart from the business in Xiyun County, there was no reason for her to go back to Qingzhou.
Yu Zhizhou took over the conversation and said, "Qingfengxuan's business is very good, and our inventory is running low. According to the date, Manager Zhou should have returned from outside. Does the boss have anything to say?"
"Miss Xueyan's shop has already made a batch of incense pills. You can take them back first. I'll arrange for someone to send some more back later." Yu Jiao was most concerned about the hucai in Qiyun County. She said, "When you go back this time, the hucai in the fields should be in bloom. When the flowering period ends at the end of March, they will produce long-horned pods. Ask Manager Zhou to take the trouble to check on the fields and don't delay watering and fertilizing them."
Yu Zhizhou agreed seriously.
As they were talking, they arrived at Baoshou Hall. The maid at the door bowed and then quickly invited them in.
Old Madam Liu was sitting in the main hall, talking to Mother Liu. When she saw a few people coming in, a smile appeared on her kind face.
After the formalities, Old Lady Liu asked everyone to sit down and talk, while Mama Liu sent the maid to serve tea and snacks.
Yu Jiao introduced, "Grandma, this is the third brother, fifth brother, and elder sister of the Yu family."
Liu Yaoyu smiled and emphasized, "Grandma, Master Yu Wu won the first place in the imperial examination!"
"Grandmother has heard about it." Old Madam Liu looked at Yu Qizhe and smiled kindly, "I heard Yu Ning mention your brother a while ago. She said that you won the first place in the examination for students of traditional Chinese medicine at the age of thirteen, and won the first place in the provincial examination in Qingzhou. You are quite talented in writing. After seeing you today, I find you are really handsome and intelligent." Old Madam Liu did not expect Yu Qizhe to be so young. He looks like he is not even an adult yet, but he is already the top scholar in the imperial examination. His appearance is also so outstanding. Even among the young masters of aristocratic families in the capital, he is rare.
Yu Qizhe said modestly, "Old Madam, you are too kind."
Old Madam Liu smiled and said, "Yu Ning's handwriting is very good. I heard that you taught her personally. When this girl was in Qingzhou, she was very lucky to have been taken care of by you. Since you are Yu Ning's elder brother, please come to the mansion more often in the future."
He was busy reading but was also willing to take the time to patiently teach Yu Jiao how to write. It can be seen that brother Yu Qizhe loved Yu Jiao very much. Old Madam Liu loved Yu Jiao because she loved her brother. She liked such an outstanding young man like Yu Qizhe very much. She also asked him how many hours he usually stayed up studying and whether he was used to the food and accommodation in the capital.
Yu Qizhe behaved politely and answered them one by one.
Old Madam Liu knew how restrained young people felt in her presence, so when she finished talking, she made the excuse that she was tired and asked them to go to the flower hall for dinner.
Madam Liu escorted them out the door, and when she came back, she smiled and said to the old lady, "I think that Master Yu Wu is a rare talent, and his manners and bearing are not inferior to those of the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital. Now that he has won the top prize, I wonder how many families will want to make him their son-in-law."
After hearing this, Old Lady Liu also had some thoughts in her mind. Yaoyu was already at the age to discuss marriage, and she was innocent and naive. Mrs. Meng was afraid that she would be wronged if she married into a wealthy family, so she had not been able to find a suitable family. Yu Qizhe was indeed a very good candidate. He was handsome and knowledgeable. He was Yu Jiao's brother and Liu Yu's student. If Yaoyu married him, she would definitely not be wronged.
