Chapter 211 Qingyun City

Xu Family Village.

"Old man, have everything been packed? Don't leave anything important behind." Wang put a package into the carriage.

"Everything is ready. You have asked me several times." The old man said helplessly.

"Wenwu, just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Li said.

"Second Aunt, I understand." Xu Wenwu nodded.

"Grandpa, I want to go too!" Xiao Liu said.

"What are you going to do? Stay at home. This time is not for fun. You have to go to school." The old man said.

Xiao Liu pouted.

"Kui Wu, let's go! We won't be able to reach Qingyun City before dark." The old man said.

"Slow down on the road and come back early after the exam." Wang said.

"understood."

The carriage drove towards the entrance of the village, and met villagers who were working on the road. They all knew what the old man was doing this time, and they said a lot of nice and auspicious words.

"I don't know if the scholar is in Qingyun City. Didn't the previous letter say that he went to open a branch somewhere else, and I don't know what happened to him." The old man said.

"Grandpa Xu, my father said that no matter how busy he is, he will always take time to accompany me in the exam." Qian Xuedong said.

"Xuedong, you and Wenwu don't be nervous. Just do your best. Don't put pressure on yourself. Whether you do well or not is up to God." The old man said.

"Yes, we know."

The carriage drove all the way to Qingyun City. Even lunch was eaten on the carriage. It was the food prepared by Wang.

Just when everyone was about to get a cocoon from their buttocks, Kui Wu's voice came out...

"Old man, young master and young lady, Qingyun City has arrived."

Several people opened the carriage and saw a tall city wall with two mahogany gates and soldiers guarding the door.

Although it was already dark at this time, there were still many pedestrians coming in and out.

Kui Wu drove the carriage towards the city gate.

"Everyone in the carriage, get down and check!"

A voice came from outside.

The old man took everyone out of the carriage.

"Are you from other places?" a soldier asked.

"Brother Guanchai, we are from Huamen Town under the jurisdiction of Qingyun City. We are here for the scientific examination this time." Kui Wu said with cupped fists.

The two soldiers checked the carriage and found nothing suspicious.

"Let's go, don't make trouble in the city." A soldier said.

"Yes!" Kui Wu nodded in agreement.

The old man led everyone into the carriage again.

After entering the city gate, the old man said: "This big city is different. You have to be inspected before you can even enter."

"It should be related to this exam. Many of them came from other places. They are probably afraid that something will go wrong and someone will be let in to cause trouble," Qibao said.

"Old man, I don't know where our hot pot restaurant is." Kui Wu opened the door curtain and said.

The old man said: "The scholar said that you can tell just by asking anyone."

Qibao was a little funny. His hot pot restaurant had been open for more than three years, but he didn't even know which street it was on.

Kui Wu pulled up a random vendor on the side of the road and asked, "Auntie, do you know how to get to Juxiang Pavilion Hotpot?"

"I know, I know, there's no one who lives in this city who doesn't know. The end of this road is the busiest street. Turn left and walk a few steps and you'll see the door number of Juxiang Pavilion." A man with gray hair said the old woman replied. "Thank you, ma'am. This is for you." Kui Wu took out five copper coins from his pocket.

The old woman happily reached out and took it, thanking her profusely.

Kui Wu drove the carriage in the direction the old woman said.

Because there were still many pedestrians on the street, the carriage moved slowly.

Qibao opened the car curtain, and the streets outside were brightly lit on both sides, with the sounds of vendors shouting.

The old man said: "The streets in this city are bigger than ours, and there are more people. They are still so lively at this late hour."

Finally arriving at the door of Juxiang Pavilion, the rich aroma of hot pot has already hit our nostrils. Several people got off the carriage and before they stepped through the door, a waiter greeted them with a smiling face.

"Sir, our store is already full now. If you are not in a hurry, we have a place specifically for guests to rest. Once there is a vacant table, we will arrange it immediately. Do you think it's okay?"

The old man said: "Is your boss Qian here?"

The waiter was startled and said: "Is the old man here to find money for the little boss?"

"Little boss Qian?"

The waiter explained: "It's like this. Little Boss Qian said that our hotpot restaurant has a real big boss, so let's call him Little Boss Qian. He sounds young."

After hearing this, the old man was a little dumbfounded and said: "Yes, we are just looking for money from the little boss."

"Well, you guys come in first and sit down, and I'll call Little Boss Qian right away," the waiter said.

"Okay, thank you."

The waiter brought several people into the hall, which was already full of people and noisy.

After arriving at a large screen, I found several people sitting on stools with some melon seeds and tea in front of them. It seemed that they were waiting for guests at empty tables.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go find our little boss Qian right away." After the boy said that, he ran out again.

The old man said: "The scholar is quite thoughtful."

"Hey! The hot pot in Juxiang Pavilion is delicious, but there are too many people here. My nephew from far away will come to Qingyun City to take the exam tomorrow, so he will come to my house for a few days. I also plan to bring them here tomorrow. I’m eating hot pot here! But every time it’s booked in advance by someone else. I’ll have to ask Boss Qian later to see if he can arrange a private room for me.” A well-dressed middle-aged woman was smacking melon seeds next to her said the equally well-dressed woman.

"Yes! Who wouldn't tell me! There have been many people coming to Qingyun City in the past two days, and they are all here for the exam. We are the only hotpot restaurant in Qingyun City currently, so naturally they have to come to Juxiang Pavilion You’re new to it, so it’s normal that it’s difficult to order.” The woman replied.

"There are so many rich people in Qingyun City. Our family's small financial resources are not enough. How can you compete with them? The private room upstairs has been booked several days in advance, and ordinary people cannot book it."

"Yes! Especially these days!"

Qibao also understood from the conversation between these two people how popular Juxiang Pavilion was in Qingyun City.

"Uncle, Qibao, Xuedong, Wenwu, why are you here today?"

At this time, a voice with surprise came.

Several people looked up and saw that it was Scholar Qian. They stood up immediately. The old man smiled and said, "Long time no see, Scholar. We came here a few days in advance just to familiarize ourselves with the environment."

"Dad!" Qian Xuedong felt longing for his father when he saw him. He stepped forward and hugged his father and shouted.

Boss Qian patted his son on the back happily and said, "Good boy, I haven't seen you for half a year and you're already cumming."

The lady who just spoke said, "Boss Qian, are there relatives coming to your home?"

"Mrs. Wu, this is my son, and these are my uncle and eldest niece and nephew." Boss Qian briefly introduced.

"Boss Qian, your son looks exactly like you." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

"Really? Hahaha."

"Um, Boss Qian, I wonder if there are any empty boxes in your store tomorrow? It's not just in time for the exams. My nephew and cousin from far away are coming to my house for a few days, so I plan to respect the friendship of the landlord. Invite them to come to our Qingyun City to eat the most delicious hot pot, so can you help me arrange a room?" the woman said.

Boss Qian thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't work at noon tomorrow. How about I reserve a room for you tomorrow night?"

"Okay! Okay, thank you, Boss Qian." The woman said happily.
