But after a long time, Lin Qingyuan still did not show up. Only the waiter from Zuichunlou hurriedly came out and whispered to Huang Changsheng.
Huang Changsheng's face stiffened: Young Master Lin isn't in the building, and I have to send him away myself.
He felt like he had been tricked by Lin Qingyuan!
Looking at the growing crowd outside, it seemed as if they were about to rush into the building to find someone at the slightest provocation.
Huang Changsheng dared not let anyone in, so he hurriedly ordered several of his men to guard the main gate while he headed straight for Young Master Lin's residence.
The place was already deserted, except for a cleaning lady who gave him a piece of paper with a message left by Lin Qingyuan:
He said he admired Song Liyun, but now that he has been rejected, he is humiliated and heartbroken, and needs to rest.
This person ran away because they were afraid to face the people blocking the door!
Huang Changsheng cursed under his breath: These spoiled brats are really useless; I have to clean up their mess myself!
The person involved dared not show his face, and the rumors were suppressed by the county government and Zhou Xiang.
This matter was like a common joke, and it was quickly replaced by other things in the teahouses and taverns of Qili County.
However, Lin Qingyuan's reputation as a playboy was growing louder and louder in Qili County.
Song Liyun didn't take the outcome of the matter to heart. After going to Zuichunlou to find someone, she returned to Suijin Town and got busy.
Now she has been captured by Luo Baihu and forced to work, and is required to manage ten weddings.
Luo Baihu has already selected ten soldiers and they will be married off immediately.
However, as a young woman, she knew nothing about marriage. Fortunately, Old Master Zhang, who had been promoted to the head of the town, led a group of old men to make arrangements.
She found Aunt Ma and Chun Tao, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, from the town, along with three or four other women to help.
The yard had already been cleaned and bright red "double happiness" characters were pasted up. Mule carts carrying furniture were coming and going on the road from Qili County.
Upon hearing the news, vendors in the county town sprang into action, bringing all sorts of wedding items for people to choose from.
Bright red wedding quilts and other festive items lined a long street, prompting farmers from the surrounding villages to also purchase many items.
Some are decorating their new homes, while others are planning their wedding banquets.
These ten soldiers were all meritorious members of the Zhenbei Army, and now they were rewarded with ample silver, so they would not be as stingy as Xue Zhuang was when he ate only a bowl of acorn tofu.
Besides the professional wedding matchmakers from various villages coming to inquire, even restaurants in Qili County wanted to attract business.
How could Song Liyun let someone else benefit from such a thing? Her Tianxianglou was a restaurant, and even if she didn't make money, she had to support Suijinwei.
The atmosphere in Suijinwei was also joyous.
The sergeant who was about to become a groom didn't even know what his wife would look like.
On their wedding day, they could only choose one bride from among those covered with red silk, relying on their own luck.
Whether a woman is beautiful or ugly, as long as she can keep the bed warm, give birth, and cook, it's a happy marriage.
These girls also had no idea who their husbands were; all they knew was that their husbands would be meritorious soldiers in the Zhenbei Army, and that was the best they could hope for.
As for temperament and disposition, we know nothing about them.
Their desire is to escape a life of constant displacement; marriage is simply another path in life that they cannot choose.
The preparations took five days. In order to hold the wedding banquet at the same time, Tianxiang Restaurant closed for one day and all the soldiers returned to Suijin Town.
Sun Wencheng and his team even brought back the giant barbecue grill from Tianxianglou.
You can open a shop without a chef, and you can hold a wedding banquet without a chef.
She shared her idea with Wang Junxu and Luo Baihu, and they immediately supported it.
There are plenty of people in the garrison who can cook meat, and they can also help the Uda tribe sell more sheep.

The preparations took five days. To celebrate, Tianxiang Restaurant closed for a day, and all the soldiers returned to Suijin Town.
Sun Wencheng and his team even brought back the giant barbecue grill from Tianxianglou.
On the wedding day, a large crowd gathered in the open market area of Broken Gold Town, with ten brides in red attire in the center and ten grooms wearing red flowers on their chests.
The grooms then proceeded to select from the brides whose faces were covered.
Those who obtained physical characteristics from Xue Zhuang early on acted quickly, while those who didn't could only rely on luck.
After choosing their brides, they were escorted to their respective courtyards, and everyone followed along, laughing and joking, to see the brides.
Song Liyun had no interest in that; she was only focused on making barbecue.
This was the first time that Suijinwei had a happy occasion. Luo Baihu generously slaughtered ten sheep and a cow.
In addition to the roasted mutton prepared by Song Liyun, the military canteen at the garrison also made steamed buns and rice, and stewed potato and beef soup.
This ensures that all 450 soldiers in the garrison can share in the joy.
At Song Liyun's place, Luo Baihu and others hosted a banquet.
Barbecue and alcohol go hand in hand; the more you drink, the better.
The more lively the new house was, the more lively the captain and his men drank.
Chun Tao found Song Liyun, who was busy distributing dishes, and asked excitedly, "Liyun, is this the kind of roast meat you sell in the county town?"
Song Liyun tugged at the headscarf covering her hair bun: "Yes! Tianxianglou sells barbecue skewers!" There was too much smoke when they were grilling earlier.
Although the rich aroma drew people from all over town to this place, Song Liyun still didn't want to turn herself into a kebab.
Chuntao's eyes lit up: "Will you sell roasted lamb in town in the future? It's so delicious!"
These kebabs are quite expensive; the townspeople who frequent Suijin are mostly villagers, and they can't afford to grill them themselves.
Song Liyun nodded and smiled, "Of course."
From the moment she started planning to build shops in Suijin Town, Song Liyun had considered their uses. Besides the fact that Manager Wan had already reserved a shop to buy leather goods, she could also sell barbecue skewers.
