Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 132 Express your feelings
Everyone separated. Qu Shaoyang and Chen Xiuyun went to the restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered six dishes according to Chen Xiuyun's request.

"First, a pot of hot tea and four plates of dim sum. The rest of the dishes can be served in fifteen minutes."

The inn is not too far from the restaurant, and two quarters of an hour is enough for a round trip.

Qu Shaoyang gave the waiter a handful of copper coins and the waiter went out happily.

Soon, the waiter brought a pot of hot tea and four plates of snacks.

"Sir, please drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. The chef has already prepared the ingredients. According to your order, the dishes will be served in 25 minutes."

Qu Shaoyang waved his hand, and the waiter left, considerately closing the door of the private room.

Qu Shaoyang poured Chen Xiuyun a cup of hot tea and pushed the plate of snacks towards her.

"You've been following us out all afternoon, you must be tired, right? Have some tea first to relax, or eat something if you're hungry."

"Oh, I see."

Chen Xiuyun had been selecting things and bargaining with people this morning, and her mouth was dry and her tongue was parched.

He didn't care about that anymore. He brought the tea over, blew on it, and drank two sips carefully.

After drinking the hot tea, I felt much better.

"Brother Shaoyang, now that you have bought everything, are you going back?" Chen Xiuyun asked reluctantly.

The two of them had just been together for a short time, how could Chen Xiuyun be willing to part with Qu Shaoyang?

"Well, I have to go back. New Year is coming soon and I have a lot of things to do at home.

It’s okay. I may go to Yingkou after the New Year. I’ll come to see you when I pass by Kuandian.”

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he couldn't spend the New Year at Chen's house, right? It didn't make sense for him to be without a name or status.

Qu Shaoyang had already made up his mind. After the New Year, he would ask his master to accompany him to Kuandian to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Chen family.

Since Chen Xiuyun likes him and he also likes Xiuyun, they should settle the matter as soon as possible to avoid having his wife snatched away by someone else.

Of course, Qu Shaoyang didn’t tell Chen Xiuyun this, as he was planning to give her a surprise when the time comes.

Girls are always worried about gains and losses and tend to think too much.

If he had told her in advance, this girl might have waited for him to come every day and had a bad year.

"Well, it's a deal now. You must come." Chen Xiuyun said, taking something out of her sleeve and handing it to Qu Shaoyang.

"This is the purse I embroidered. Give it to you. Don't complain about my poor embroidery skills." Chen Xiuyun pursed her lips and said embarrassedly.

Qu Shaoyang reached out to take the purse, and before Chen Xiuyun could withdraw her hand, he took the opportunity to hold Chen Xiuyun's slender white hand.

"You embroidered it for me yourself, how could I dislike it? How long did it take you to embroider this purse? Were you tired?"

Qu Shaoyang held Chen Xiuyun's hand and looked at it carefully.

Chen Xiuyun never thought that Qu Shaoyang would hold her hand tightly and not let go. Her cheeks turned red at that moment.

She symbolically tried to pull her hand back, but failed, so she let Qu Shaoyang hold her hand tightly.

"It's OK. I can finish it quickly. I'm not tired. My mother taught me to embroider since I was a child. Making a purse is not tiring for me."

Although Chen Xiuyun has a lively and cheerful personality, she has learned everything she should learn.

It can be said that it is like a pair of scissors on the kang and a shovel on the stove, and you can pick it up and put it down.

In addition, Chen Xiuyun also studied medicine with Chen Lang, and went out with Li to help with deliveries. This girl was very smart and learned everything well.

A girl's hands are completely different from a man's rough, calloused hands.

Soft, smooth and tender, Qu Shaoyang held Chen Xiuyun's hand and was reluctant to let go.

Chen Xiuyun didn't say that she had to pull her hand back, and the two of them just sat next to each other, holding hands, and chatting in low voices.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and at the same time, the waiter's voice. "Sir, please come this way."

Qu Shaoyang knew that it was Chen Yunzhe and Xingjia Xingye who had returned, so he reluctantly let go of Chen Xiuyun's hand and smiled at her.

Chen Xiuyun's face flushed, and she glared at Qu Shaoyang with her clear eyes, then sat up straight.

Then, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Chen Yunzhe and Xing Jiaxingye came in from outside.

Qu Shaoyang asked the three to sit down, and Chen Yunzhe happened to sit on the left side of Chen Xiuyun.

Qu Shaoyang waved his hand, signaling the waiter that the dishes could be served.

The waiter nodded and went downstairs quickly. Soon he came back with a square plate and placed the dishes on the table.

"I don't know what you like to eat. I asked Xiuyun and she said you eat all of these."

Qu Shaoyang pointed at the dishes and said to Chen Yunzhe.

Chen Yunzhe was a careless person and didn't notice anything unusual about his sister. He nodded proudly.

"Yes, I eat everything. There is nothing I don't like. I will eat whatever you order."

Qu Shaoyang looked at Xing Jia and Xing Ye again and nodded to them.

"It's okay, just treat it like you're at home. Don't be shy, just eat when you need to."

"Hey, thank you, boss." They were both employees. They came out to have a meal with their boss. How could they say they were not restrained?
The portions in this restaurant are quite large; six dishes are more than enough for five people.

It was noon, and Qu Shaoyang and Chen Yunzhe didn't drink any alcohol. They just ordered rice.

After lunch, Qu Shaoyang asked Xingjia and Xingye to go back to the inn first, and he would send the Chen brothers and sisters back.

In the afternoon, there were not so many people in the clinic, and Doctor Chen had some free time, so he called Qu Shaoyang aside and the two of them chatted alone for a while.

"Shaoyang, uncle treats you as an outsider, so I will tell you directly if I have anything to say.

This is what happened. Your aunt asked me to ask you what you think of our Xiuyun. "

Doctor Chen didn't beat around the bush and asked Qu Shaoyang directly.

Qu Shaoyang stood up and bowed solemnly, "Uncle, I was just about to tell you that Xiuyun and I like each other, please help us, Uncle Chen."

As a man, he should take responsibility. Since he and Chen Xiuyun are in love with each other, he should take the initiative to propose it.

Whether Doctor Chen agrees or is angry, he should have the courage to bear the consequences.

When Doctor Chen saw Qu Shaoyang admitted it so readily, he nodded with great satisfaction.

"Okay, kid, your aunt and I really like you. Xiuyun will definitely not suffer if she follows you.

That’s it. Wait until the New Year is over and find a time to ask your master to come over so we can settle the marriage.

It's just right, it also gives us some time to prepare, wait for next autumn or winter, and choose a date for you to get married."

Chen Xiuyun is seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year. Nowadays, many girls get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

If a family keeps their daughter until she is over 18, the neighbors will gossip about her.

Seventeen years old is the best time for girls.

"Thank you for your help, uncle. Don't worry, I will treat Xiuyun well and will never mistreat her unfairly." Qu Shaoyang assured Doctor Chen.

The two of them were chatting alone, which made Chen Xiuyun very worried. She paced back and forth in the inner room anxiously.

"Mom, why does my dad have to talk to Brother Shaoyang alone? Is there anything he can't just say directly?"

Li looked at her daughter's worried expression and couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that girls cannot be kept when they grow up, and this is absolutely true.
