Chapter 304

"We'll be there tomorrow." Song Xintong's new shopkeeper was also recommended by Jiang Mingzhao. He was invited from another closed restaurant. He went back to the countryside two days ago to celebrate his old parents' birthday. He should be back to the city early tomorrow morning.

Song Xintong thought of it and said, "by the way, the suburban farm is almost ready. Go and see if you can find the shrimps and put them in as soon as possible, or you can only buy them from Jixiang restaurant."

Now prawns are the specialty of Jixiang restaurant. If they want to buy prawns, it's hard for them to do so, and they will definitely be bitten off by Xu Mingan. She really doesn't want to take this risk. After all, they rely on Jiang Mingzhao to do business. If they cross Jiang Mingzhao, the Jiang family still don't know how to punish them.

Moreover, Lu Yunkai is now going to take the imperial examination again. If the Jiang family is deliberately bad, ordinary people like them will have no way to resist.

That's what she realized at the Jiang family's birthday party that day. They can make the villagers dare not offend her in Taohua village. But in this Lingnan City, she becomes an ordinary person who can be trampled on by anyone. If it wasn't for the Jiang family's guilt towards Lu Yunkai and the friendly relationship between Jiang Mingzhao and Lu Yunkai at the beginning, they might not even be qualified to go to the Jiang mansion.

That day, she impulsively returned the purse of Miss Jiang's "reward" to Jiang Mingzhao. On the one hand, she was angry; on the other hand, she wanted to test Jiang Mingzhao.

Later, there was no response, and Jiang Mingzhao's usual attitude, as nothing, presumably did not go to ask Miss Jiang, song Xintong thinks that it may still be in the interests, and the friendship with Lu Yunkai is estimated to be mostly guilty.

But it doesn't matter. Take what you need.

As long as it's not pierced, she doesn't think about it.

I really hope that I can not be an ordinary person without money and power in the future. If I have been like this all the time, I might as well be at ease in Taohua village.

"Girl, I'm afraid it will cost a lot to buy shrimp. Why don't you stop selling this dish for a while and wait until Chuang Tzu can produce it?"

Song Xintong hesitated: "this... Let me think about it."

"I'll go to Chuang Tzu first. If I can find shrimps, I don't need to send them from the village."

"Go ahead." Song Xintong waved his hand, indicating that he would leave first.

After waiting for someone to leave, song Xintong went back to the room, lay down and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already sunset. The setting sun was shining on the window lattice with golden light.

Song Xintong got up with his stomach and went outside the yard. The twins sat on the stone bench under the Begonia tree, playing with the abacus and following Yang Shuxue to do the abacus.

"Sister wakes up." Dabao let out a loud cry.

"Well, your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet?" Asked song Xintong.

Dabao pointed to the study: "in the study."

Song Xintong looked at the study. The study was closed. He walked slowly to the study and pushed open the door. Then he saw Lu Yunkai sitting at his desk, reading a book with notes.

"Xianggong, rest your eyes." Song Xintong put a cup of tea to Lu Yunkai's left. After watching him drink it, he asked, "what book are you reading?"

Lu Yunkai, holding the book as a treasure, said: "this is from the magistrate, as well as the examination papers in recent decades and the papers in the past two years."

Hearing Lu Yunkai's gratitude, song Xintong said, "the magistrate is very kind to you." After a pause, he said, "last time I heard Gu say that the eldest daughter-in-law of the magistrate was pregnant in April, and she couldn't eat anything. Aunt Wang sent some sour food today, as well as mushroom and grey fungus. Do you want to send it to the magistrate?"

Lu Yunkai hesitated, "is there any suspicion of bribery?"

"These things are not valuable. They are just suitable for pregnant women." Song Xintong thinks it's really feasible, "while the gray spores are still fresh, I'll let Daya deliver them now, and I can eat them in the evening."

"But I don't know if they will."

"If we look down on the mountain treasures we send, we will not send them when we have matsutake and other good things." Song Xintong and Lu Yunkai said, "by the way, the 10th day of August is a good day. I decided to open on that day."

Today's sixth day is three days away from the tenth day.

"But the school starts on the tenth day of the junior high school. Do you want to go back first or what?" Song Xintong asked him.

"We'll go back a few days later." Lu Yunkai took up his pen and said, "it's better to set it on August 16 and wait until after your birthday."

Song Xintong chuckled, "Lu Xiucai, you are too casual to open a school."

"I've thought it over, and I'll be ready for August 16 next year." Lu Yunkai didn't care at all. He wrote a letter to Lu's mother, asking her to tell the students who were studying, but he handed in the bundle first.

"It's done?" Song Xintong looked at the letter he had collected. Then I asked Daya to deliver the vegetables together. After that, he took the letter and turned out of the study. He told Daya.

Daya took the letter, five catties of fresh mushrooms, five catties of fresh gray spores and a jar of sour food and went out.

Before long, Daya came back.

"Miss, the letter has been sent out. Steward Jiang said that there was a boat passing by Lingnan Wharf at night. At that time, the boatman could be towed to the restaurant on the wharf of Qingjiang county." Daya panted and said: "things have been sent to the magistrate's house. Originally, the porter didn't accept them. But when the magistrate's wife came back from worshiping Buddha outside the city, she asked people to accept them after hearing our news."

"Well, take it and take it. It's their business to eat or not." Song Xintong twists a piece of sour food and eats it. His teeth are so sour that he will lose them. But for other appetizers, he must be able to eat two more bowls of rice in the evening.

In the evening, when the twins learned that they could return to Taohua village later, they were both happy and sad. Happily, they could finally go home and see goudan'er. It's sad that there are so many interesting places in Lingnan city. If you go back, you will never see them again.

Song Xintong looked at the tangle on the twins' faces, and couldn't help laughing: "don't run around these days. Stay at home and finish your homework. My brother-in-law will stare at you these days."

The twins are very embarrassed to look at each other. They also have an appointment with Jiang Xiaoer to go to the lake tomorrow to do boating. How can they stay at home?

"Elder sister, we have an appointment with Jiang Xiaoer to go to the lake to do a boat."

Song Xintong frowned: "take sister's words for granted, right? Sister said, "I can't go to the water."

"Jiang Xiaoer's uncle took us there."

"His uncle is an adult."

Song Xintong frowned: "that can't go, you two are a troublemaker."

"Elder sister, elder sister..." the twins kept calling song Xintong, and looked anxiously at the clouds, "brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."

Lu Yunkai chuckles, "let Daya accompany you. You can only stay for a few more days."

Song Xintong stares at him and forbids him to speak: "they haven't recited the Analects of Confucius · Zihan that you arranged last time. They can't even listen to it if they play wild."

"You can't go until you've done it." Lu Yun said.

Xiaobao understood and said, "ah? How can I recite so much? "

Lu Yunkai lightly smile: "but thirty-one, also thirty-one words only, tomorrow morning check, back good to go."

"No good back?"

"Until you recite well."
