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

Liu glanced in her son's direction.

"That night..."

"Let's talk about it tonight." Song Jinyuan cleared his throat awkwardly. "The luggage is packed. I'm going to go see Yi'er and talk to Tang'er about what's going on at the farm."

After saying that, he hurried out.

Looking at the man's back, the unsatisfied Liu stamped her feet in annoyance and sat on the bed.

I couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Is it because she gave birth to two children that the man dislikes her?

……

In the opposite room, after finishing, Mu Qiu hurriedly grabbed his clothes and put them on, still complaining about Song Jinsheng.

"I originally wanted to show the account book to Tang'er, but it's all your fault. How can I go out now?"

Song Jinsheng was satisfied, and no matter how Mu Qiu complained, he always smiled.

"Blame me, it's all my fault. How about I deliver the account book to you?"

Mu Qiu glanced at him unhappily.

"You don't know much about the business of Yujun Pavilion. If you go and deliver the account book, and Tang'er asks you about it later, how will you answer?"

Song Jinsheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Then you should go. I'm only responsible for transporting the goods. I don't know much about the business in the shop."

"It's good to know."

After Mu Qiu put on her clothes, she opened the door with a red face, asked the maid to get her a basin of water, and washed herself before taking the account book to find Song Yuntang.

It was their first time in the capital, and the old couple Song Xingye were very curious.

He looked here and there, smiling from ear to ear with joy.

"It has to be the capital. It is indeed much more prosperous than our place."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "The weather is warm now. When we have some free time, you can take a carriage and travel around the capital. Our courtyard is close to the South City, and you have only seen the scenery of the South City. The East and West Cities are more prosperous."

Lin Guifen smiled and shook her head.

"We are very grateful to be able to come to the capital. There are many noble people in the capital. I am afraid that we will offend someone and cause trouble for you later."

Just then, Qin Ju came to report.

"Madam, the palace has sent you an invitation saying that the Queen's birthday is coming up soon, and you are invited to attend the birthday banquet at the palace on April 3rd."

Seeing that Song Yuntang was busy, the two elders of the Song family went back to their own yard first.

Song Yuntang looked at the invitation sent by Qin Ju with a slightly surprised look on his face.

Some time ago, the imperial concubine in the palace held a flower-viewing banquet but did not invite her. She was originally glad that people in the capital had forgotten about her again, and she could have some free time. However, she did not expect that she would be invited to the Queen's birthday banquet again.

Now that the invitation has been sent from the palace, it is naturally impossible to refuse.

Fortunately, there is still nearly half a month left, so I have to put in more effort and be fully focused to deal with it.

The palace is not like the prime minister's residence.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life, so you cannot afford to be careless.

"I see."

Just then, Song Jinyuan came to the front hall.

"Tang'er, is there anything I can help you with in the shop? I'm free, so if you need any help, I can come over and lend a hand."

Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile.

"Brother, you are here as a guest. How can I ask you to work? Besides, the people from the clinic and Yujun Pavilion have rushed here from Anyang County. Once they are settled, they will open tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There is no need to trouble you. Just eat, drink and rest well here."

My mother's family is coming to visit the capital, but they won't stay for too long.

There is really no need to trouble them with household chores.

She said she didn't need help, so Song Jinyuan naturally didn't force her.

"alright."

He turned to look at his daughter who was sitting on a high chair, eating pastries with her short legs hanging down, and walked over to touch her head.

"Yier, be good here at Auntie's place and don't disturb her. Daddy will go check on Grandpa and Grandma."

Song Yi didn't say anything, but just puffed up her cheeks and nodded.

Song Jinyuan looked at Song Yuntang again.

"Tang'er, it's nothing. I'm going to my parents first."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Brother, go ahead."

She is a slow warmer.

Although her eldest and second brothers are both her older brothers, she feels more comfortable when with her second brother because she has more contact with him.

It would be a bit awkward to stay with my elder brother for a long time.

……

The people who came to the capital this time to be in charge of the two shops came with the Song family.

Yujun Pavilion is under the charge of Mu Qiu and Song Jinsheng.

The clinic was run by Cao Shun and Doctor Zhou, assisted by more than 20 apprentices. Song Chengliang (his twin brother) was among the 20 apprentices who came with him this time.

As for Song Chengzhi, since he was more talented in studying than Song Chengliang and planned to take the Tongshi exam next year, he was still studying in the town academy and did not follow the Song family to the capital.

Cao Shun is twelve years old this year. He has been learning medicine from Song Yuntang and several doctors in the clinic for almost three years. Although he has not yet been allowed to formally diagnose and treat patients, his talent in this area is becoming increasingly prominent in his daily performance.

As Song Yuntang's only disciple, he has a lot of experience and still has some say in the clinic.

Everyone in the capital had heard of the Princess of Le'an.

In addition, when Song Yuntang was chatting with the ladies at banquets in various mansions, he would intentionally or unintentionally reveal the county lord's intention to open a branch shop in the capital. Since he rented two shops for renovation, people began to notice it.

Many people are secretly looking forward to the opening of these two shops.

After all, everyone gets sick sometimes.

The Princess of Le'an opened her clinic in the capital, and in Nancheng, where the "lower nine classes" of people gathered, which shows her good intentions.

She was not going after high-ranking officials or royal family members.

But it is to alleviate the suffering of the people.

Since the clinic was located in the south city, He came to the clinic to help a lot.

Song Yuntang knew that the couple had borrowed money from the temple and were currently living in poverty, so he handed over the work of repairing the clinic and purchasing daily food and clothing to her.

He also worked seriously.

Every item is selected personally, comparing quality and price to find the most cost-effective items for the clinic.

On the opening day, he even brought Jason Lu and his two children to congratulate him.

As for Yujun Pavilion, the booming scene on its opening day was unprecedented in the capital's industries in recent years.

Song Yuntang has not left the house these days. While preparing for the birthday banquet to be held in the palace for the Queen, he has been counting the banknotes and silver sent by Yujun Pavilion. His life has been particularly fulfilling.

……

On the third day of April, the Queen’s birthday banquet was held.

Yinchu (3 am).

Before dawn, Jinshu's voice could be heard from outside.

"Madam, it's time to get up and wash up. You have to go to the palace early today. You have to pay your respects to the Empress and the Empress Dowager before noon."

After Xu Qingye left, Jinshu always slept with Song Yuntang in the outer room of the main house.

Song Yuntang opened his eyes, turned over, and sat up from the bed reluctantly.

Suddenly I felt that it would be great if Xu Qingye were here.

If there is something going on at home, there is someone to discuss it with, so there is no need to be as cautious and fearful as you are now, afraid of making mistakes and harming your family members.

It has been two months since he left, and I don’t know when he will be back.

"Change my clothes."

After all, it is the Queen's birthday, so she can't wear something too plain, nor too flashy, so as not to steal the limelight from the protagonist.
