The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

The Baiyun Village School, which was originally planned to start construction in May this year, no longer needs to be built.

Han Qingyun directly gave the title deed of the courtyard he had bought before to Bai Jianian.

The yard is big enough to be used as a school.

Bai Jianian's eyes were red, and he brought the people from Baiyun Village to pay their respects to Han Qingyun.

The managers of several shops are here today.

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun originally planned to keep Yan Dahu and his eight companions, Lan Niang, Liu Yang and others in Luocheng and give them freedom.

But these people refused and insisted on going to Ji Yang together.

Ma Chao stayed because his mother and sister were in Luocheng. However, he refused to take back his indentureship and just said he would wait until Han Qingyun and the others returned from Jiyang.

In addition to Ma Chao, Lu Xing's family also stayed in Luocheng to continue taking care of Ji'an School, as well as some trivial matters of the Han and Lu families.

Mingxianglou and Meishifang both had to be dealt with. These two stores were too conspicuous. After they left, they would not be safe even with the secret forces of Prince Lin's Mansion protecting them.

However, the braised pork shop and the clothing shop could continue to operate. After Li Dezhi and others left, these shops were managed by Lu Xing.

Today, the three braised pork shops are managed by Wang Daxin, Han Dachuan and Han Beiwang respectively.

But Han Beiwang had discussed with his family that they would go wherever Han Qingyun was, and his shop would be left to the villagers.

At Fanghua Garment Shop, the tailors and embroiderers have made great progress, and the shop can operate normally even when Lan Niang and Wang Gui are not around.

Liu Mei is smart and bold, with a tough personality. Now that she has been tempered, she is most suitable to be the owner of a clothing store.

Wang Daxin proposed to find someone to deliver the profits from these four stores to Lu Yanyan every six months.

Lu Yanyan refused. She and Yan Dahu and others kept 20% of the dividends for the village as funds to maintain the school, and the rest was given to Lu Xing.

Finally, Lu Yanyan told Wang Daxin that if there were any problems in the village or the shop that could not be solved, he should talk to Lu Xing.

Wang Daxin nodded seriously, then followed the others to see Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun off.

When the carriage disappeared from view, Wang Daxin and the others shed tears...

In the afternoon, Li San, the owner of Li Ji Dental Clinic, auctioned two Mingxianglou and one Qianbaiwei Food Court at the request of Lu Youtian, the owner of Mingxianglou.

The deafening sound of the gong attracted a lot of onlookers, plus the customers in the store, Mingxiang Tower and Meishifang were surrounded by people for a while.

But what is an auction?

Lu Youtian choked up a little and bowed to everyone.

He first thanked everyone for their support of his business over the past few days, then apologized that due to personal reasons, he could no longer operate the shop, and asked those who had applied for membership cards to apply for a refund as soon as possible.

When talking about the fact that the shop could no longer be run, Lu Youtian burst into tears, and the onlookers couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Mr. Lu's luck is really bad. He lost the third-rank official position and the son-in-law who won the third place in the imperial examination. His shop has been targeted for a long time. Selling it now can recover some of the losses.

Lu Youtian was crying so hard that he couldn't speak, so Li San took over the topic.

An auction is an open bidding process where the highest bidder wins.

The items for auction include not only the shop’s title deed, but also the shop’s tables and chairs, books, tea, pastry materials, etc.

The cooks at the Food Court and the opera troupe at Mingxianglou are also included.

Lu Youtian originally didn't want to sell the cooks. These cooks had all learned how to make pastries, and if he sold them, he would lose the ability to keep the recipes.

But Lu Yanyan asked Chi Nai and others. Although they were reluctant to leave the Han family, they also didn't want to go to Ji Yang. Moreover, they were used to working in the Food Court and hoped to stay there.

Lu Yanyan thought, anyway, she knew a lot of delicious recipes, and with these cooks, the auction price of the food shop would definitely be much higher.

As for the opera troupe, Lu Youtian really felt a little distressed.

These people were trained by him personally, but he was about to leave Los Angeles, and he could not take them with him, so he had to reluctantly let them go.

Everyone in the troupe was in tears. They were reluctant to let Manager Lu go, as he was a good man. But if they went to Jiyang, they might have to face harassment from the enemy country every day, and they might even lose their lives one day.

Only the storyteller Lu Baokun insisted on following Lu Youtian, so Lu Youtian kept him.

The auction of Mingxianglou in the south of the city is scheduled for the afternoon of May 24th.

The two shops in the city were scheduled for the morning of May 26th.

In a short time, the news of the auction of Mingxianglou and Meishifang spread quickly to every corner of Los Angeles.

When Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan returned to Han's house, Yan Hui and Yan Shi'an were already waiting for them.

Yan Hui said straight to the point that he had already registered Huibao Pavilion with the broker and it would probably be sold in a few days.

He also planned to ask Li San to auction the Meishifang and Mingxianglou, see the final auction price, and then split the profits with the Han and Lu families.

Han Qingyun didn't expect Yan Hui to be so decisive.

"Uncle Yan..."

Yan Hui waved his hand and interrupted Han Qingyun.

"Qingyun, you don't have to persuade me. I'm not selling these properties entirely because of you.

Yan Yu has been in Luocheng for many years and he won't leave. But I don't have much affection for Luocheng. If Prince Lin's army invades Luocheng, I have no intention of dying with them.

I'm a businessman and I never put all my capital in one basket. You can call me a fence-sitter or say I have a weak will.

I really have no confidence in Emperor Zhaowen. On the contrary, the two sons of Prince Lin are truly impressive.

These days, I have also noticed that there may be something else going on in Wuping County.

I want to go to Jiyang and find a second way for the Yan family..."

Han Qingyun looked at Yan Hui.

"Dayu Country is vast and has abundant resources. Even if you don't stay in Luocheng, you can go to other prefectures. Jiyang is poor and often invaded by foreign enemies.

Moreover, Prince Lin and Emperor Zhaowen were destined to fight to the death. If Prince Lin was defeated, I'm afraid that all the people in Jiyang would have a hard time in the future.

If Uncle Yan is willing, my father-in-law's family has connections in several prefectures. Even Yuezhou Prefecture is possible. Uncle Yan can completely avoid the prefectures between Jiyang and Luocheng."

Yan Hui was grateful, and he solemnly said to Han Qingyun: "I appreciate your kindness. But Shi'an and I have already decided that we must go to Jiyang."

Han Qingyun looked at Yan Hui's resolute expression and nodded slowly.

When Han Qingyun was seeing Yan Hui and his son off, he saw Liu Minghe's carriage coming towards him.

The carriage stopped, and Liu Minghe, holding a jar of wine, said to Han Qingyun, "How about having a drink with me?"

Han Qingyun nodded and accompanied Liu Minghe into the yard.

Liu Minghe's mood today is very different from the past. There is no entanglement, only a calm and relaxed mood.

"The braised food you make is really good. It tastes much better than the ones in Mantingyuan."

Liu Minghe drank and commented.

"If Mr. Liu likes it, please eat more."

Han Qingyun gave Zhao Xingwu a wink, and Zhao Xingwu walked out of the room and closed the door.

There was a smile in the corner of Liu Minghe's eyes.

"I really like the atmosphere in your house. It's not like other people's houses, which have so many rules. Even eating requires a bunch of people waiting on you. It's annoying."

Han Qingyun smiled and poured another glass of wine for Liu Minghe.

"Mr. Liu is in a good mood today."

"Yes. You've already noticed that I have a history with the Lin family, right?"

Han Qingyun nodded: "Mr. Liu has never deliberately concealed it. I can also guess that you have other purposes for participating in the imperial examination, but I don't know why."

"Don't call me Mr. Liu. I'm much older than you, but we're of the same age. Just call me Brother Minghe."

Han Qingyun readily agreed: "Brother Minghe."

"Okay, okay, Brother Qingyun."

When Liu Minghe mentioned the reason for his sudden participation in the imperial examination, his expression became solemn and sad...
