507. Chapter 507: Gave Birth to a Good Daughter

Gathering Clouds Pavilion.

Sòng Běitíng got off the carriage and walked inside; although this teahouse was opened by Lü Qi, he often came here, and the people here had long recognized him.

Upon seeing him,

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Second Young Master Song, you're here; our boss and your elder brother are in the backyard—should I have someone take you to find them?"

"Good!"

Sòng Běitíng nodded.

The shopkeeper immediately had someone show Sòng Běitíng the way.

Lü Qi and Song Bei Cheng were drinking tea in the backyard parlor when they learned that Sòng Běitíng had arrived; he said, "Bei Cheng, could it be that your younger brother has come to find you?"

Song Bei Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Shortly after.

Sòng Běitíng walked in from outside: "Elder brother, Lü Qi brother…"

"How rare…"

Lü Qi drew out his voice.

Usually Sòng Běitíng rarely calls him brother, but today he actually did—really strange.

Could it be that he needs his help?

Song Bei Cheng turned his gaze to Sòng Běitíng and said, "You're injured, not resting at home—what are you doing here looking for us?"

Upon hearing that,

Sòng Běitíng met his gaze and said, "Elder brother, I want to withdraw from Bei Lou."

Lü Qi jumped up.

"How could you suddenly want to quit Bei Lou? Could it be…"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Sòng Běitíng interrupted him, saying, "It's like this: I don't want my wife to worry about me, and I'm afraid she'll suspect me. This time I got injured and returned home; she soon told Qiao Sheng about it."

So that's how it is.

Song Bei Cheng fell silent for a moment, then agreed.

Lü Qi pursed his lips and said, "Fine, fine, go ahead and quit; if you quit, I'll still get extra money for a year."

That's what he said.

He felt a bit uneasy inside.

After all, Bei Lou was something they started together.

Sòng Běitíng pursed his lips and said, "Elder brother, Lü Qi brother, Bei Lou can earn a lot of money in a year, but that money isn't easy to make; you might as well quit too—it's too dangerous…"

If one day,

you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke.

and drag them out.

then it'll be troublesome.

Lü Qi said somewhat angrily, "This is our painstaking effort; you say we'll just quit if we say we'll quit? I know you mean well for us, but the problem is, the brothers all rely on taking jobs to earn money; if we shut down, what will they do?"

Moreover,

What could be more profitable and faster money than this line of work?

Song Bei Cheng then said, "Little brother, I haven't not thought about it, but now isn't the time…"

"Alright."

Sòng Běitíng couldn't persuade them, so he could only give up.

In the blink of an eye, time arrived at October.

This year.

Just as October began, snow fell.

The Hu family's niece Hu Qīnglíng came to the Imperial Capital at this time; of course she didn't come alone, she came with her parents.

Seeing the outside a vast expanse of white.

The Imperial Capital was clean and tidy, people coming and going.

Hu Qīnglíng's parents became increasingly determined to marry their daughter off to Cheng Jǐnyù.

Wait until she becomes his wife.

Become an official lady.

They then moved to the Imperial Capital.

By then, relying on Cheng Jǐnyù's connections, would they still fear not being able to make money opening a shop in the Imperial Capital?

One cannot deny.

They thought quite beautifully.

The Hu family had already received the news in advance, but she didn't wait for them at the city gate; instead, she sent people to wait for them.

Upon seeing Hu Qīnglíng's family, her people brought them to Huiyuan Teahouse.

Upon seeing them arrive, the Hu family immediately greeted them to sit, looking at her niece who was becoming ever more lovely, she smiled and said, "Qīnglíng is getting lovelier and lovelier, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you've given birth to a fine daughter!"

"Only you would praise her."

Hú Qí said this with his mouth, his face showing undisguised pride.

His words had just fallen.

Qián Qiūyuè spoke up, saying, "Little sister, where is Cheng Jǐnyù now?"
