CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: TIANMING PAVILION

Six days later

The tea house across from Xinghua Building, which had been closed for a few days, finally reopened.

And it was renamed from Le Family Yipinxuan to Tianming Pavilion.

Old Tang and Duan Yunfei arrived early with their group.

Of course, even people from the Song Mansion came to congratulate.

The tea house has two floors, with no private rooms, a railing on the second floor, and tea tables that can be placed by the railing.

The storytelling platform is set in the middle of the first and second floors, allowing people on both floors to hear the stories.

"Miss Shen, do you need help?" Xuan Ming dragged Xuan Ying forward to ask.

Qian San woke up the night they came back from the manor, and Duan Yunfei took him to Jinxi Town, placed him in Huichun Hall, and asked Old Chen to help look after him, so Xuan Ming returned to his position these few days.

"No." Shen Qinglan shook her head, "There are people working, you just sit back and relax."

Having just sent away the Xuan Family brothers, Lan Ruo arrived.

"Qinglan, do you need any help?"

"No need!" Shen Qinglan replied, "Just help take care of Madam Song and my mother!"

"Alright then!" Lan Ruo said, "If you need any help, feel free to ask me!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Okay!"

Shen Qinglan glanced at her family’s position and a slight smile curled on her lips.

When they learned she was opening a tea house, Shen Shan and Shen Qingzhu were both shocked, and upon hearing that Guest House was opened by Shen Qinglan, they were utterly angry.

Dong Yao and Shen Qinglan, the mother-daughter duo, were nagged by them for several days.

Shen He laughed, "Our Qinglan is all grown up now. Such a big teahouse, I used to not even dare to stand at the entrance."

"Isn’t it?" The old Shen sighed, "Heaven has mercy on our Shen Family to let this child be born into our family!"

"Qinglan mentioned there’s a story about Journey to the West today. What kind of story is this Journey to the West?" The old lady Shen wondered.

"Never heard of it!" The old Shen shook his head.

Shen Qingping said, "Third Sister said there are monsters in the story!"

"I heard from Qinglan too!" Shen Qing’an said, "Qinglan also mentioned there’s a monkey called Great Sage Equalling Heaven in it."

"Yes! Great Sage Equalling Heaven is Sun Wukong!" Shen Qingping said, "Third Sister even taught us to sing the song of The White Dragon Horse!"

"The White Dragon Horse?" Shen Qingju asked with a smile, "Is it nice?"

Both nodded, "It’s nice!"

"Then, why don’t you sing a couple of lines for us?" Li Wei said with a smile, "If you sing well, you can take a day off tomorrow!"

Lately, their studies were under Li Wei’s supervision, and hearing this, both shook their heads in frustration.

"Why?" Li Wei raised his eyebrows.

"Third Sister taught it only once!" Shen Qingping pouted, "How can one remember it after just once?"

Shen Qing’an nodded, "Exactly, Qinglan said she’d teach us properly when she has time next."

The Shen Family chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

Madam Song looked on with envy and sighed, "Having children is indeed great, their loud and lively chatter is amusing to watch!"

"What’s amusing?" Dong Yao laughed, "That’s because you haven’t seen them squabbling all the time, it gives you a headache just watching."

"Sister Dong is quite fortunate!" Madam Song said softly, "Qinglan is so young and already knows how to earn money for the family, while our Tinger is seventeen and yet never around, sometimes it’s hard to even talk to him!"

"Isn’t Qinglan the same?" Dong Yao sighed, "This child also runs out every few days, and sometimes once she leaves, it’s for quite a while, it’s hard to see her."

Beside them, Jiang Han chuckled, "Isn’t it how children are when they grow up?"

"That’s true!"

Dong Yao and Madam Song both sighed softly.
