Chapter 435 I Will Never Let Go
After hearing this, Li Xiuran did not ask any further questions.
Manager Miao has been running the restaurant for many years and has become a shrewd man. After hearing the conversation between the two, he was glad that he didn't say anything wrong.
Otherwise, you'll get into trouble if you're not careful.
"Everyone, we have arrived at the private room. Everything on the menu can be prepared by the kitchen today. Please take a look at the menu first."
"No need to look." Li Xiuran looked at him, "Bring us one portion of each of our signature dishes."
"Okay, you can drink tea and wait for a while." After saying this, Manager Miao closed the door of the room and went downstairs.
There are also people in charge of the Mingyue Building branch.
When Shopkeeper Gao saw Shopkeeper Miao coming down from upstairs, he hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Miao, where did that woman come from that day? Why did you personally go to meet her?"
Manager Miao pulled the man aside and whispered in his ear, "She is the boss of our Mingyue Tower, but the boss has always been low-key. Don't reveal her identity. If she comes again in the future, you have to be more careful. Our Mingyue Tower is now counting on her to keep things under control."
The indentures of those who were in charge of the branch shop were all held by Manager Miao, so he was naturally not afraid that they would have any evil intentions.
When Manager Gao heard this, he was surprised. He didn't expect that the owner of Mingyue Tower was such a young woman.
"I'll remember that."
Shopkeeper Miao hummed. This Shopkeeper Gao was more sensible than his annoying nephew. Miao Dong was a blockhead and still seemed heartless. This really gave him a headache.
"Okay, go tell the kitchen to serve the food."
.
Private room.
On both sides of the square table, Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang sat side by side, while Li Xiuran and Li Yuyao sat on the same side.
"The governor will hold a Deer Singing Banquet tomorrow. Have Brother Xu and Doctor Song found a place to stay? If not, there are still empty rooms in the Li Mansion for you two to rest." Li Xiuran said, looking at the two of them.
Song Yuntang shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li. We had already booked an inn when we came here yesterday, so we won't go to the mansion to bother the prefect and Madam Li today."
After all, it is inconvenient to stay in someone else's house.
Besides, Xu Qingye is now a juren after all. If someone with ulterior motives knew that he was staying in the prefect's house, they might think that he was trying to curry favor with the powerful.
Especially at times like this, the more cautious we have to be.
Li Xiuran looked at her.
"My mother's illness was cured last time thanks to Dr. Song. If you had gone, she would have been so happy."
Song Yuntang had a polite smile on his face.
"When I have the chance, I will definitely visit you."
Seeing that she insisted, Li Xiuran stopped forcing her and looked at Xu Qingye.
"Brother Xu, are you going to take part in the examination next year? Or do you plan to wait a few years to gain some experience before taking part?"
"Next year." Xu Qingye replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuran asked again, "When will Brother Xu go to the capital?"
He put down the teacup in his hand.
"I have already made an appointment with the teacher, after the Luming Feast."
Li Yuyao looked at Song Yuntang.
"Will Doctor Song also go with Brother Xu?"
Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "There are a lot of things going on in Anyang County. I plan to sort out things at home before going there."
Turned to look at Li Xiuran.
"When will Master Li go to the capital? If it's near, maybe he can go with my husband."
Li Xiuran shook his head.
"I may not be able to go in the near future." He glanced in the direction of Li Yuyao, "I have to send my sister off to get married before going to the capital, so it may be early next year."
Song Yuntang looked slightly surprised.
"Miss Li is getting married? When is the wedding date?"
Li Yuyao blushed, "We will get married on the 16th of winter, and the wedding banquet will be held on the 15th of winter. If Doctor Song is free, he can come to our house to watch the ceremony. I will ask my mother to send a wedding invitation to Doctor Song as well."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Since Miss Li said so, I will definitely come then. Miss Li's husband should also be from the provincial capital, right?"
A wealthy family like the prefect's would have looked for someone of equal social status when arranging marriages for their children.
Li Xiuran said, "In fact, Doctor Song is familiar with this person. He is the eldest son of Lin Yuanwai's mansion in Cile Town. When my sister and her future brother-in-law get married, our two families will be able to have some relationship."
Although it is a bit unfair for my sister to marry into the Lin family, Lin Jingyao was able to pass the imperial examination at such a young age, and he will definitely have a place in the officialdom in the future.
In addition, Lin Jingyao has no concubines. Such a clean and motivated man is much better than those dandy boys from prominent family backgrounds.
Considering that Lin Jingyao was the elder brother and Lin Gengshi was the younger brother, their marriage was arranged before Lin Gengshi's.
Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.
Lin Gengshi first married the concubine's daughter of the Li family, and then Lin Jingyao married the legitimate daughter of the Li family. The two brothers could take advantage of the whole family.
But it’s good that Lin Jingyao is married, so that there will be someone to take care of him and he doesn’t have to bother me.
However, Li Xiuran and Li Yuyao obviously had some misunderstandings about the relationship between her and the Lin family. But now that no one asked about it, she couldn't directly expose the conflict between her and the Lin family.
Apart from other things, Lin Jingyao, apart from being a juren, looked young and handsome, had no concubines, and had no bad reputation.
He is indeed a better candidate for a good husband.
In addition, she did not have a close relationship with the Li family, and the marriage had already been arranged. If she accidentally ruined the marriage, both the Lin and Li families would probably blame her for meddling in their affairs in the future.
He smiled awkwardly.
"Then congratulations in advance to Miss Li for finding a good match."
…
After they had dinner together, Xu Qingye took Song Yuntang away.
"Xia Ning, this place is not far from the inn. You can drive the carriage back first. We can walk around to digest the food before returning."
"yes."
With Xu Qingye by her side, Xia Ning was not worried about Song Yuntang.
He drove the carriage back to the inn.
Song Yuntang pulled Xu Qingye towards Beichang Street. The scenery there was tranquil and beautiful, and it was a place frequented by literati, who would listen to books in teahouses, play Go, drink wine, recite poems, and engage in debates.
The best thing is that there is a Wenbaozhai over there. I heard that it has the best four treasures of the study in the entire provincial capital.
Song Yuntang wanted to go and take a look, but he didn't know what gift to give Xu Qingye. It just so happened that he had passed the imperial examination, so he decided to give him a new set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
The two walked along.
Xu Qingye lowered his head and glanced at Song Yuntang beside him.
"Tang'er, I'm afraid I can't take you with me to the Luming Banquet tomorrow."
"It's okay." Song Yuntang didn't care. "You have your own things to do. I have an appointment with a patient tomorrow. Just go and do your thing."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"Where are we going?"
"North Street." Song Yuntang said with a smile, "Go to Wenbaozhai and pick out a set of brushes, inkstones, and paper for you to take to the capital."
Xu Qingye had a gentle expression.
"The things in Wenbaozhai are not cheap. I'm afraid Tang'er will have to spend a lot of money today."
Song Yuntang moved slightly closer to him and lowered his voice.
"We don't need this little money now."
Now the medical clinic, Yujun Pavilion, Mingyue Tower and Huajianzui are all making good profits. The four treasures of the study only cost a few dozen taels of silver, which she can still afford.
Looking at her cunning look, Xu Qingye couldn't help laughing.
"Hearing what my wife said, it seems that I have found a good partner."
Song Yuntang joked, "Then you'll have to stay in jail. If you dare to let go, I'll run away."
Xu Qingye held her hand tightly.
"Don't let go."
I will never let go in this life.
