Chapter 419 Meeting with Several Senior Brothers
Li Yuyao looked towards the entrance of the examination room and saw candidates coming out one after another. She looked at Song Yuntang beside her and said, "Doctor Song, I'm going to the front to pick up my eldest brother."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Miss Li, please go ahead."
There were so many people here, there was no need for her to run over and squeeze with others.
There were many people participating in the Autumn Examination.
Song Yuntang stood in the carriage for a quarter of an hour, but still did not see Xu Qingye.
"Xianing, did you see that?"
Xia Ning shook his head, "I didn't see anyone coming out."
Another quarter of an hour passed, and seeing that there were fewer people, Song Yuntang finally saw Xu Qingye.
Coincidentally, he came out with Li Xiuran.
Song Yuntang hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran towards Xu Qingye.
Li Yuyao was closer to the two of them and came in front of them first, with excitement on her face.
"Brother, Brother Xu, you two actually came out together!"
She winked at the maid beside her.
The maid understood what he meant and hurried to take Li Xiuran's things.
Li Yuyao extended her hand to Xu Qingye.
"Brother Xu, let me help you get some things."
Xu Qingye took two steps back and kept his distance from her.
"They are all personal belongings. I can take them myself. I don't want to trouble Miss Li." He turned to look at Li Xiuran, "Mr. Li, please go back and rest first. I still have to go find my wife. I won't keep you two here. Goodbye."
Seeing Li Yuyao seeming to want to say something but hesitated, Li Xiuran looked in the direction of Xu Qingye, then pulled his sister's arm.
"Let's go, let's go to the carriage first."
Xu Qingye had just taken a few steps to the side when he saw a girl in a green dress, holding up her skirt, squeezing out of the crowd and running towards him.
The moment he saw the person coming, the originally serious man broke into a smile.
Song Yuntang breathed slightly and reached out to take the cloak that was draped over his forearm.
"Why did you come out so late?"
Xu Qingye explained in a slightly hoarse voice, "My room was originally at the back, and when I was leaving the examination room, I ran into Master Li and chatted with him for a while. I'm sorry that Tang'er had to wait for a long time."
Song Yuntang looked up. The man had a tired look on his face and some red bloodshot in his eyes. After nine days in the examination room, a circle of blue stubble had grown around his lips.
After eating all the dry food these days, I have become thinner.
My heart softened, and I immediately took his arm, "Let's go home first. Dad and mom sent someone to tell us that you missed Yuexi for the imperial examination. After you come out of the examination room, we will have a good family reunion."
Just as Xu Qingye was about to nod, a servant came running over from a distance.
He bowed to Xu Qingye.
"Mr. Xu, our master said that you should take a short rest before going up to the manor."
Xu Qingye was puzzled. "Go to the manor? What's the matter, teacher?"
The servant looked respectful.
"There are several adults from the capital, all of whom are former students of the master. He wants you to meet some of his senior brothers."
Xu Qingye glanced in Song Yuntang's direction, nodded and said, "I see. Thank you."
"I have delivered the message. I will leave first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Qingye looked at Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, I'm afraid I can't go back to Lushan Village with you today."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. Business is more important. We will have plenty of opportunities to reunite as a family in the future." Song Yuntang said as he climbed onto the carriage. "Let's find an inn to pack up first, so as not to delay Mr. Tang's business."
I had heard from Yang Linyuan before that when Mr. Tang was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate, he also taught students.
The students who came later had quite a bit of status in Beijing.
Now that his former student has come to Yingshan City, Mr. Tang has specially asked someone to call Xu Qingye over, obviously with the intention of introducing him to some connections.
In this case, she naturally cannot let Xu Qingye down.
After the two got on the carriage, Xu Qingye began to close his eyes and rest. During the nine days in the examination hall, although he changed the examination hall twice, the candidates on his left and right were either snoring, grinding their teeth, or even talking in their sleep. He had a light sleep and could not sleep well at night.
Song Yuntang didn't make trouble for him and asked Xia Ning to find an inn close to Yujun Pavilion so that she would not be idle when Xu Qingye went to Mr. Tang's place.
.
In the carriage not far away, Li Xiuran lowered the curtain and looked at his sister sitting next to him.
"Did you see everything?"
"When Brother Xu took Elder Tang's wedding card to see Dad, he had already told me that he had a wife and would never accept another woman in his life. What's more, Brother Xu's wife is Doctor Song. It was thanks to her that Mom was cured of her illness. You should not have any more ideas in the future."
Although Li Yuyao was unwilling, she still nodded obediently.
"I understand. I won't do that again."
Looking at the loving relationship between Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, she felt that she should stop worrying.
Li Yuyao hugged Li Xiuran's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, "Brother, can you comfort me?"
When I first met Xu Qingye, I was attracted by his maturity and stability.
Who would have known that he had already married.
Li Xiuran reached out and patted her on the back.
"Okay, okay, we have to be able to take it and let it go. In a few months, you will be an adult. I will talk to mom later and it's time to put your marriage on the agenda. When you have a fiancé, you won't have such crazy thoughts anymore."
Li Yuyao quickly sat up straight.
"Brother, are you serious?"
"Why would I be joking with you?" Li Xiuran stretched out his hand and pinched her nose. "You are a grown-up girl now. If you don't get married now, you won't be able to get married."
Li Yuyao snorted and turned sideways pretending to be angry.
"Brother, if you curse me, I will complain to mother when I get home."
Li Xiuran hurriedly coaxed, "Little Ancestor, I didn't curse you. I wish you the best."
Li Yuyao suppressed her smile.
"I don't care. When I get home I'll tell my mother that you cursed me so that I can't get married."
…
After washing, shaving and getting ready in the inn, Xu Qingye returned to his usual appearance, but the fatigue in his eyes still remained.
"Do you want to rest for a while before going?" Song Yuntang looked worried.
Xu Qingye shook his head, "Tang'er is waiting for me at the inn. The sooner I go, the sooner I'll be back."
"Okay." Song Yuntang said, handing him a food box, "You can't go to see your senior brother and teacher empty-handed. Here are the roast duck and some special dishes that I just asked Xia Ning to buy from Mingyue Tower. You can take them over."
Those people have seen good things before, so giving them material things as a gift would be cliché and have a flattering connotation. Bringing some special food would be a way of honoring the teacher and would not seem deliberate.
Seeing how thoughtful she was, Xu Qingye's heart softened. He took the food box with one hand and hugged her with the other.
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
The man had just finished taking a shower and the scent of soapberries still lingered on his body, which smelled very nice.
Song Yuntang stood on tiptoe and kissed his face.
"I'm waiting for you."
The man's Adam's apple moved, and he finally controlled his impulse. He rubbed her head and walked out of the inn.
