Chapter 469: It's Really Her
Lu Erbai laughed and said, "Tang Xiucai, it's rare for you to come. Come, come, have a seat. Let me pour you some tea."
He came out from behind the counter, and although his walking was still somewhat unnatural, he no longer needed a crutch.
But before he could make a move, the old lady who came out from the backyard had already brought the cups over with a smile, saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it. You go and man the counter."
Today, she happened to bring the finished dolls into the shop and was preparing to go back when she heard the familiar voices from outside.
Tang Wenqian's mother took the water and finally spoke as instructed by Tang Wenqian, "We just returned from the capital after the provincial examination. These past few days, Wenqian has been studying hard. After finally finishing the exam, we wanted to bring him here for a stroll. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, we thought of buying some fabric to make him some clothes. I heard that your shop is located here on Ning Shui Street, selling ready-made clothes, so we came to take a look and see if there's anything suitable for Wenqian."
Lu Erbai slapped his forehead, "Tang Xiucai went to the capital for the exam? Look at me, I completely forgot about it. How did it go? Did he pass?"
Mainly because they had been busy with matters at home, coupled with Shu Yu's imminent departure, they simply had no mind to pay attention to other things.
"I don't know yet. We just finished the exam, and the results won't be announced until September. This time, it's just a trial for him. It's his first time taking the exam, and the county school's instructions were for him not to be too stressed, just consider it an experience."
Although Tang Wenqian's mother said that, there was still a proud look in her eyes. Even if the results hadn't been announced yet, Tang Wenqian should have done well.
If there was a young jinshi in the village, it would be a great joy for all the villagers.
Lu Erbai was happy, and the old lady beside him was also happy. She went to the counter and brought out some snacks for them to eat.
In passing, she replied, "In any case, let me congratulate you here. But our shop currently only sells women's clothes, so we don't have anything suitable for Tang Xiucai."
Tang's mother sighed with regret, "Then I'll go to the fabric shop and get a couple of pieces to make it myself. By the way, since you have a clothing shop, do you know which fabric shop has good and inexpensive fabrics?"
The old lady knew, but the fabrics in their shop were all top-quality, and they purchased in large quantities directly from the source. They dealt with the largest fabric shop on Ning Shui Street.
However, that wouldn't be suitable for Tang Wenqian's mother. The old lady knew about the Tang family's situation. Even if the fabric for Tang Wenqian's clothes was excellent, it couldn't compare to the fabrics in their shop.
Therefore, the old lady couldn't offer any advice. Especially with Tang's mother's personality, if she told her the truth, she was afraid she would think that the Lu family looked down on her now that they had money.
The old lady and Lu Erbai exchanged a glance, and she could only say, "Hmm, I really don't know. The fabric purchases were always negotiated by Ah Yu before."
Speaking of Shu Yu, Tang's mother immediately asked, "Then what about your second daughter? Isn't she here?"
The old lady smiled, "Ah, she's gone on a long journey. It's unlikely she'll be back in a short time."
As soon as she said that, both Tang Wenqian and his mother's expressions changed.
Tang Wenqian managed to hold it together, but Tang Wenqian's mother's smile was almost unsustainable.
Gone on a long journey? And unlikely to be back in a short time? Could it be that she has already been exiled?
