The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Li Yuyao looked towards the entrance of the examination room and saw candidates coming out one after another. She looked at Song Yuntang beside her and said, "Doctor Song, I'm going to the front to pick up my eldest brother."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Miss Li, please go ahead."

There were so many people here that she didn't need to run over and squeeze with others.

There were many people participating in the Autumn Examination.

Song Yuntang stood in the carriage for a quarter of an hour, but still did not see Xu Qingye.

"Xianing, did you see that?"

Xia Ning shook his head, "I didn't see anyone come out."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and seeing that there were fewer people around, Song Yuntang finally saw Xu Qingye.

Coincidentally, he came out with Li Xiuran.

Song Yuntang hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran towards Xu Qingye.

Li Yuyao was closer to the two of them and came in front of them first, with excitement on her face.

"Brother, Brother Xu, you two actually came out together!"

She winked at the maid beside her.

The maid understood and hurried to take Li Xiuran's things.

Li Yuyao extended her hand towards Xu Qingye.

"Brother Xu, let me help you get some things."

Xu Qingye took two steps back and kept a distance from her.

"They are all personal belongings. I can take them myself. I don't want to trouble Miss Li." He turned to look at Li Xiuran, "Mr. Li, please go back and rest first. I still have to go find my wife, so I won't keep you two here. Goodbye."

Seeing Li Yuyao's hesitant expression, Li Xiuran glanced in the direction of Xu Qingye, then pulled his sister's arm.

"Let's go, let's get on the carriage first."

Xu Qingye had just taken a few steps to the side when he saw a girl in a green dress holding up her skirt, squeezing out of the crowd and running towards him.

The moment he saw the person coming, the originally serious man smiled.

Song Yuntang breathed slightly and reached out to take the cloak that was draped over his forearm.

"Why are you out so late?"

Xu Qingye explained in a slightly hoarse voice, "My dormitory was originally at the back, and when I was leaving the examination room, I ran into Master Li and chatted with him for a while. I'm sorry to have kept Tang'er waiting for so long."

Song Yuntang looked up and saw that the man had a tired look on his face and some bloodshot eyes. He had been in the examination room for nine days, and a circle of blue stubble had grown around his lips.

After eating all the dry food these days, I have become thinner.

My heart softened, and I immediately took his arm, "Let's go home first. Dad and Mom sent a letter saying that you missed Yuexi in the imperial examination. After you come out of the examination room, we will have a good family reunion."

Xu Qingye was about to nod when a servant came running over from a distance.

He bowed to Xu Qingye.

"Mr. Xu, our master said that you should rest for a while before going up to the manor."

Xu Qingye was puzzled. "Go to the village? What's the matter, teacher?"

The servant looked respectful.

"A few gentlemen from the capital have arrived. They are all former students of the master. He wants you to meet some of his senior brothers."

Xu Qingye glanced in Song Yuntang's direction, nodded, and said, "I see. Thank you."

"I've delivered the message. I'll leave first."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Xu Qingye looked at Song Yuntang.

"Tang'er, I'm afraid I can't go back to Lushan Village with you today."

Song Yuntang shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important. We'll have plenty of opportunities to reunite as a family in the future." Song Yuntang said as he climbed onto the carriage. "Let's find an inn to clean up first. Don't delay Mr. Tang's business."

I had heard from Yang Linyuan before that when Mr. Tang was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate, he also taught students.

The students who came later had quite a bit of status in Beijing.

Now that his former student has come to Yingshan City, Mr. Tang specially asked someone to call Xu Qingye over, obviously intending to introduce him to some connections.

In this case, she naturally cannot let Xu Qingye down.

After the two of them got on the carriage, Xu Qingye began to close his eyes and rest. During the nine days in the examination hall, although he changed the venue twice, the candidates on his left and right were either snoring, grinding their teeth, or even talking in their sleep. He was a light sleeper to begin with, and could not sleep well at night.

Song Yuntang didn't bother him and asked Xia Ning to find an inn close to Yujun Pavilion so that she wouldn't be idle when Xu Qingye went to see Mr. Tang.

.

In a carriage not far away, Li Xiuran lowered the curtain and looked at his sister sitting next to him.

"Did you see everything?"

"When Brother Xu went to see Father with Elder Tang's invitation, he clearly stated that he was married and would not accept another woman in his life. Moreover, Brother Xu's wife is Doctor Song. Mother's illness was cured thanks to her. You must not have any more inappropriate ideas in the future."

Although Li Yuyao was unwilling, she still nodded obediently.

"I understand. I won't do that again."

Looking at the loving relationship between Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, she felt that she should stop worrying.

Li Yuyao hugged Li Xiuran's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Brother, can you comfort me?"

When I first met Xu Qingye, I was attracted by his maturity and stability.

Who knew that he was already married.

Li Xiuran reached out and patted her on the back.

"Okay, okay, we can take it, but we also have to let it go. In a few months, you will be an adult. I will talk to Mom later, and your marriage should be put on the agenda. Once you have a fiancé, you won't have such crazy thoughts anymore."

Li Yuyao quickly sat up straight.

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Why wouldn't I be joking with you?" Li Xiuran reached out and pinched her nose. "You're already a grown-up girl. If you don't get married now, you won't be able to get married."

Li Yuyao snorted and turned sideways pretending to be angry.

"Brother, if you curse me, I'll go back and complain to my mother."

Li Xiuran hurriedly coaxed, "Little Ancestor, I didn't curse you. I wish you the best."

Li Yuyao suppressed her smile.

"I don't care. I'll go back and tell my mother that you cursed me so that I can't get married."

……

After washing, shaving and getting ready in the inn, Xu Qingye returned to his usual appearance, but the fatigue in his eyes still remained.

"Do you want to rest for a while before going?" Song Yuntang looked worried.

Xu Qingye shook his head. "Tang'er is waiting for me at the inn. The sooner I go, the sooner I'll be back."

"Okay." Song Yuntang said, handing him a food box. "You can't go to see your senior brother and teacher empty-handed. Here are the roast duck and some special dishes I just asked Xia Ning to buy from Mingyue Tower. You can take them over."

Those people have seen good things before, so giving them material possessions would be cliché and even have a flattering connotation. Bringing some special food would be a way to honor the teacher, and it wouldn't seem deliberate.

Seeing how thoughtful she was, Xu Qingye's heart softened. He took the food box with one hand and hugged her with the other.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

The man had just finished taking a shower and still had the fragrance of soapberries on his body, which was very pleasant.

Song Yuntang stood on tiptoe and kissed his face.

"I'm waiting for you."

The man's Adam's apple moved, and he finally restrained his impulse. He rubbed her head and walked out of the inn.
