Qu Xiu naturally had no objection, as long as there was something to eat.

It was only when I went out at noon and saw the trees were full of lanterns that I vaguely remembered: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Then he slapped his forehead again, and suddenly realized: "So you were so mysterious this morning because you wanted to go out and play without telling me and Master!"

"Although, aren't you two a little too clingy? Sleeping in the same room every day is fine, but you also eat so close to each other in the morning, and go to the night market together to see the lanterns in the evening?"

"Brother Xu, didn't you say that your family has fallen on hard times? Why are you so leisurely every day, more relaxed than me?"

Xu Shu angrily knocked him on the head: "How can you tell that I'm leisurely? You're so talkative at such a young age."

Qu Xiu grimaced in pain: "But you've been staying in our clinic for more than two days. Every day, you just read books, take a walk, and eat. You even like me to run errands for you when you buy food!"

"How can you say I'm being rude? Little Mu Jin will study medicine here in the future. I just came here to get familiar with the environment. Besides, I paid for the board and lodging. And I'm letting you run errands to train you. Have you heard of the saying 'When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard'?"

Qu Xiu pouted: "I am a medical student, I don't memorize books of sages."

Then he looked at Mu Jinghua again: "Brother Mu, Brother Xu, seriously, you want to study medicine with my master? Then you have to call me senior brother from now on, do you know?"

Seeing that Mu Jinghua seemed to want to say something, Qu Xiu quickly called out to Xu Shu: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, have you taught Senior Brother Mu Ge'er how to gesture? Teach him quickly."

Xu Shu was helpless: "There are so many sign languages. I have only learned the basics and can understand them. I gave the sign language encyclopedia to Xiao Mujin a long time ago. He knows more than me. Xiao Mujin will definitely understand it."

Qu Xiu then looked at Mu Jinghua cheerfully again: "Brother Mu, call me Senior Brother."

Mu Jinghua also smiled along with him and slowly gestured: "Senior Brother, you are so stupid."

Qu Xiu didn't quite understand what he was gesturing and thought Mu Jinghua just called him "senior brother", and he couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing his worthless appearance, Xu Shu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of threat. Qu Xiu and Mu Jinghua were of similar age, and his little Mu Jin was pretty. Could it be that this brat was attracted to his little Mu Jin and wanted to get the upper hand by being close to her?

Xu Shu couldn't help but frown, pulled Mu Jinghua to his side, and criticized Qu Xiu: "You can't even understand sign language, and you have the nerve to ask Xiao Mujin to show you?"

Qu Xiu was confused: "Huh?"

However, Xu Shu ignored him and pulled Mu Jinghua towards the restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Wu Yong. This guy still had a smile on his face. As soon as he saw Xu Shu, he hurried over and said, "Brother, I was just planning to look for you. What do you think? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to ask Brother Le to come out to watch the moon... Is it appropriate?"

"Aren't you engaged?" Xu Shu was puzzled. "What's wrong with watching the full moon?"

"I'm not afraid... I'm afraid that Brother Le doesn't like me." Wu Yong hesitated.

Xu Shu simply ignored them, found a quiet place to sit down, and started ordering food.

Wu Yong was not angry about being left out, he just wanted to show off: "The money for the betrothal gift has been agreed upon, the marriage certificate has been written, and now I will urge the embroiderers in the mansion to sew the wedding dress every day."

"Originally, Brother Le said that I had to sew the wedding dress myself, but I thought it was too tiring. After much persuasion, Brother Le finally agreed to let our embroiderer do it. Brother Xu, what have you been busy with these days? You haven't even come home."

Xu Shucai didn't want to listen to his rambling. After telling the waiter about the dishes he was going to serve, he interrupted Wu Yong and asked, "Do you still remember the promotion of the recipe?"

Wu Yong smiled sheepishly: "Of course I remember, I have already done all the things you asked me to do, I am just waiting for you to open a store."

"But the town hasn't been very lively recently. I heard that there was some strange disease in Yichunlou. Even the county magistrate went there in person, but there is still no result. He only said that Yichunlou is not allowed to open recently."

Xu Shu did not comment, but asked Wu Yong: "Do you think the location of Yichun Building is good?"

"Of course that's fine. Our Qingshui Town is located to the south of the city, and the south is the most prosperous area. The Yichun Tower is located to the south, a tall building standing alone. At night, it is lit up with colorful lights. It is very beautiful from a distance, and even more so when you go inside..."

Xu Shu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you liked Le Ge'er? How come you are talking about Yichunlou so well?"

"You've wronged me, brother." Wu Yong glanced at Mu Jinghua and lowered his voice, "Even if we don't go to that place, there are few men who don't know about it. Besides, the madam of Yichunlou has some cooperation with our Wu family."

"But why are you asking this? It's impossible for Yichunlou to sell it to you to open a restaurant. I have asked several stores in the town these days, and they are all spacious and generous. When can we go and have a look?"

Xu Shu hummed without commenting, "I'll definitely go when I have time. You should go to Shiqiao Village to pick up Le Ge'er. If you keep wasting time with me here, Le Ge'er might get angry."

"By the way, tell Jiang Xiao that we'll give everyone a half-day off this afternoon so that they can have a good Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to leave now. Oh, by the way, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time. It just so happens that the restaurant has made mooncakes with osmanthus filling."

Wu Yong called to the kitchen, "A Ping, bring two plates."

Xu Shu was about to say no when Wu Yong looked at Mu Jinghua: "Don't you like osmanthus cakes, Mu? Try our newly made osmanthus mooncakes. You should like them."

Suddenly the topic turned to himself again. Mu Jinghua was flattered and uneasy, and subconsciously shrank closer to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was also a little depressed: "How do you know that my little Mu Jin likes osmanthus cake?"

Wu Yong laughed and said, "Oh, the last time Brother Mu came, he ordered a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and brown sugar glutinous rice cake. The brown sugar glutinous rice cake ended up in your stomach, Brother Xu. It's obvious who likes sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"Brother Xu, my mooncakes with brown sugar filling are not ready yet, so please make do with them first. And this little brother, please don't be polite, everyone who comes is a guest, remember to attend my wedding banquet when you have time, the more people the better, the more the better."

After Wu Yong finished his instructions, he walked towards the carriage prepared outside the door, leaving Xu Shu speechless and feeling very aggrieved.

When did he say he liked brown sugar?
