Chapter 31
Father Lu and Mother Lu were stunned. They didn't expect that accepting a disciple would take such a huge advantage, so they hurriedly refused.

"That's not okay. That restaurant is your family's inheritance." Lu Zhengting persuaded.

But Song Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You don't know, before I met Master, I had already planned to close the restaurant." He sighed and said helplessly, "I have been losing money for a year, and my family's fortune is almost gone. I’m exhausted and I really can’t hold on anymore.”

His wife and children also suffered with him. If it weren't for the painstaking efforts of his ancestors, he would have given up long ago.

It was Meng Qingning who gave him hope.

If Feng Manlou can survive, Meng Qingning's contribution is greater than his.

He doesn't suffer.

Meng Qingning knew that Song Zhao had made such a proposal after careful consideration, so she agreed.

"The restaurant business has not picked up yet. When the business picks up in the future, I will get a share."

"Okay." Song Zhao was ecstatic. He knew that as long as Meng Qingning agreed today, his restaurant would be saved!
It was agreed upon.

Meng Qingning cooks the dishes, and Song Zhao runs the restaurant. When business gets better, the profits will be split in half.

Originally, Meng Qingning thought that it would be enough to settle for [-] points, but Song Zhao was very firm and said that it must be [-] to [-] points.

After Song Zhao left, everyone in the second room felt a little confused. How come there was an extra restaurant in the house?
That's a big restaurant in the county town!
"Can I go there to eat in the future?" Lu Qiyu was most concerned about this.

"When business gets better in the future, you will also be the young boss, and you can eat as much as you want!" Meng Qingning looked like she was wealthy.

In the past two days, Mrs. Wang also made clothes. The whole family put on new clothes and felt radiant.

They put all their money together and used up 12 taels of the [-] taels they had spent on materials.

Apart from the share given to the Yang family, they also have a lot of money in their hands.

"Dad, Mom, I want to send my brother to study." Meng Qingning put forward her idea.

Lu Qiyu will be seven years old soon. Children from families with a little money in the village would have been enlightened long ago.

But Lu Qiyu still does business with them every day.

Lu Zhengting looked at Meng Qingning blankly, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

Think about it, two months ago, they had nothing. Now they not only built a house, but more importantly, they can send Xiaoyu to study.

You must know that a family as big as the Lu family could only send one child to study at that time.

"Studying is not just for gaining fame. I hope that through reading, he can understand things clearly and have a world of his own in the future."

In fact, even if Meng Qingning didn't say this, Lu's father and mother would definitely agree.

Although they are farmers, they also know the importance of reading.

In this way, the matter of Lu Qiyu's study was settled. They planned to start his education at a private school in the village, and then go to the county academy when conditions allowed.

This made Lu Qiyu very happy, and he kept showing off to Lu Qinan.

Of course Meng Qingning would not favor one over the other, "I asked around and found that there is also a women's concubine in the county. When we move there in the future, we will send Nan'er there."

But no one knows the meaning of reading better than her.

If she hadn't studied in her previous life, she might have died in that ravine her whole life.

It was also the first time that Lu Qinan heard that girls could go to school, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Can I really go?"

She used to think that only boys could do these things.

"Nan'er, you have to understand that there is nothing in this world that women cannot do. There have been so many outstanding women in ancient times, and even female generals with great military exploits. Which of them is worse than men?"

Lu Qinan listened carefully, as if he had been exposed to a whole new world.

Father Lu and mother Lu were speechless when they saw her speaking so deviantly. They did not favor boys over girls, and did not think that making achievements was only a matter for men.

Women are equally important.

"With the remaining money, when we save enough, we can buy land."

She had already inquired about it. Recently, a family in the village had moved to the county seat, and their land needed to be sold.

"Okay." The whole family agreed.

The next day they took the money and came to Yang Erhu's house.Only then did I know that Yang Erhu didn't give up. He went to the county seat alone yesterday, and indeed he was able to negotiate a business deal.

Although we ordered two cans each.

But it’s also a good start.

In addition, they also brought news that Shunxinlou's business is now booming in the county, and many dishes are made with their sauce.

I believe that their sauce will become popular soon.

Meng Qingning was also shocked by the news.

I never thought that Shun Xin Building could have such a use.

Now that her business has grown, she has to carefully consider what will happen next.

The stove at home alone is definitely not enough, a special place must be built.

She put forward her idea.

Others agree.

Hearing that they wanted to choose a place in the town, Aunt Wang proposed to build it directly at their house.

The reason why it is not built in Shangyang Village is to prevent people from the old house from causing trouble and to facilitate transportation in the town.

While eating, Aunt Wang asked about Lu Qiya.

Only then did Wang tell the story.

It turned out that the people in the old house knew that the second room was doing other business since they last saw their jars, and felt that Lu Qiya was hiding it from them on purpose.

No, lock her up directly.

"What should we do?" Aunt Wang was a little worried.

Meng Qingning said, "Don't worry, Qi Ya is a child of the Lu family after all, and they won't embarrass her too much."

As for the rest, it depends on Lu Qiya's ability.

Aunt Wang was also happy for them when she heard that Lu Qiyu was going to study.

"Then will I be as powerful as brother Yang Yu in the future?"

In his opinion, Yang Yu is a scholar and the smartest among them, although of course he is still a little behind his elder brother.

"Of course." Meng Qingning affirmed.

"Is Yang Yu planning to take part in this year's provincial examination?"

Wang saw that Yang Yu had been in private school recently, so she wondered if he was busy preparing for the exam.

Although the war has not yet been settled, the imperial court still attaches great importance to the imperial examination and has no plans to cancel it.

"There are still three months." Aunt Wang sighed, "I hope the court will put an end to the war as soon as possible, and we people can live in peace for a few days."

Wang also lamented, "The world is not peaceful, and the people who suffer are the common people."

If it hadn't been for the war, she wouldn't have been young...

Meng Qingning consoled her, "Mom, I heard that the imperial court has recently taken back two cities. When things are more peaceful after a while, we can look for people to inquire."

She knew that Lu Qinian was Wang's heartache.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and in the blink of an eye it had been three years, hoping that her prayers for good harvest would last until then.

"That's right, I heard that a young general came out of the border recently. He is brave and good at fighting. He defeated the enemy several times and fled."

"It seems that God has blessed us in Dai Viet."

"There are also many folk songs about the young general, which shows that he is deeply popular among the people."

Meng Qingning thought, Qingyang County was the city that was taken back, and she didn't know what happened to the Meng family?
