"Guiyun Tower."

Lin Qiuer looked at the words on the plaque and read them out word by word with an expression of appreciation on her face. The name was quite nice.

Chang Qing saw that Lin Qiuer had been staring at Guiyunlou, so he began to introduce it, "This Guiyunlou, along with Wanfulou and Zuixianju, is known as one of the three major restaurants in the county.

It’s strange, their dishes taste great, but the attitude of these waiters is really bad.”

Lin Qiu'er couldn't understand why. In a restaurant that dealt in welcoming and seeing off customers, there was a waiter with a bad attitude who was disrupting business, but the owner didn't even chase him away. Did he want to keep him for the New Year?

"Didn't the shopkeeper say that he would reorganize the restaurant and replace the waiters to attract customers?"

Chang Qing shook his head and sighed, and said in an unbearable tone, "It was changed, but the attitude of the newly hired waiter is even worse than those in the past.

So even though the food at Guiyunlou tastes good and its location is great, few people patronize it.”

"Which fool is willing to spend money to suffer?" Lin Qiuer continued to drool at the two-story restaurant facing the street. What a good location and great decoration, yet it was just left there in such a waste.

"Their business is so bad, are they planning to sell this restaurant?"

Chang Qing continued to shake his head, "I haven't heard of any rumors about selling the restaurant. I sometimes find it strange, Miss Lin, Guiyunlou's business is so bad, but it is still in the best location of Qingyang Street in the county town, and it has been open for such a long time without going bankrupt."

Lin Qiuer originally thought that this was just a restaurant opened by a rich man who was controlled by his servants. But after listening to Changqing's words, she felt something was wrong.

The waiter has a bad attitude and business is bad. Where did the money come from to keep the restaurant running for so long?

There must be something fishy going on here.

"Miss Lin, let's go forward. Wanfulou is in front of us. The young master of the Song family said that he would like to invite you two to have dinner at Wanfulou. Did he tell Miss Lin that Wanfulou is the property of their Song family?" Changqing suddenly mentioned the situation of Song Congyuan's family.

Lin Qiuer raised her eyebrows. Song Congyuan's family had quite a wide network of connections. Some of them worked in the post station, some in the county government office, and some even ran a restaurant. So, was there any place that she didn't know?

"Little sister, what kind of business do you want to open a store?" Lin Nanye had always heard Lin Qiuer say that she wanted to open a store, but he didn't know what kind of business she wanted to do, so he asked her curiously.

Lin Qiuer smiled sweetly at him and winked slyly, "Of course, we use our strengths to open a store." She turned her head and asked Changqing mischievously, "Where do the rich people in your county like to go to entertain guests the most?"

"Wanfulou and Zuixianju." Changqing answered without hesitation.

"Then let's go and try the signature dishes of these two restaurants today." Lin Qiuer announced brightly, her steps brisk and a look of anticipation on her face.

Lin Qiuer was not interested in rouge, powder, clothes, jewelry and the like sold on the street. After all, the things that could be sold here were not considered high-end.

But then she thought about the people in the village. They had never been out of the house, so she could buy some and bring them back as gifts.

So, Lin Qiuer began to carefully browse from stall to stall, picking out the things that she liked. Her eyes wandered over the various commodities, with a faint smile on her lips.

Soon, Lin Nanye and Changqing's hands were full of bags of different sizes. Unable to bear it any longer, Changqing and Lin Nanye put the things on the Gu family's carriage and asked the driver to send them back first.

By the time we had walked along the entire Qingyang Street, the driver had already taken us back twice.

Seeing the miserable looks of Lin Nanye and Changqing, Lin Qiuer still felt a little unsatisfied. She licked her dry lips, still thinking that the things she just bought were only for the women in the village, and the men had not been bought yet.

After dinner, you should continue to buy some gifts for men, and you cannot favor one over the other.

"Changqing, what kind of things do the teenagers in the county generally like?"

Because she was not sure what the men here liked, Lin Qiuer sat down in Wanfulou and ordered the dishes. After watching the waiter go down, she asked Changqing.

Hearing this, Chang Qing's face became even more bitter. He hesitated for a moment and stammered, "Well, well, I don't know what other people like to buy." He really didn't want to say it, but was frightened by Lin Qiu'er's power, so he decided to say less, "Young Master, you like weapons. And I like delicious food."

Lin Qiu'er turned to Lin Nanye again, "What does Third Brother like? Qiu'er will buy it for you."

Lin Nanye felt a little embarrassed. In the past, his little sister would always ask him for things, but after coming to the county town, she started asking him what he wanted to buy. He felt that his authority as an elder brother was challenged.

"Third brother, there's nothing you want to buy."

Lin Qiu'er ignored him. She looked him up and down at his clothes, which were different from those of people in the county town, and then looked at herself. She was wearing the clothes prepared by the Gu Mansion, while her third and fourth brothers were still wearing clothes from the village.

Lin Qiuer thought to herself: No wonder when they were walking on the street just now, the pedestrians were avoiding them.

"Let's find a clothing store later and buy some nice clothes for the third and fourth brothers." When Lin Qiu'er said this, she thought of Lin Nanyue who had not returned yet.

"Why hasn't Fourth Brother come back yet? Did something happen to him?" Her brows were furrowed, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

At this time, Lin Nanyue, who was missed by Lin Qiuer, was in danger.

His breathing was rapid, his chest heaving violently, his right hand tightly covering the wound on his abdomen, and he curled up in a narrow crevice in the rocks of the Nalan Mountains that was only wide enough for one person.

Blood seeped out from the gaps between his fingers and dripped onto the ground, forming a sharp contrast with the brown color of the rocks.

His heartbeat was like a crazy drumbeat, and it seemed that it would jump out of his chest at any moment. He closed his eyes tightly, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which were traces of pain and tension.

A burst of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer. The sound was like a melody announcing death, making Lin Nanyue's heart beat like thunder. He clung tightly to the crevice of the rocks, hoping that he could escape from this dangerous situation.

A long sword suddenly stabbed in, retracted, and stabbed in again.

Every penetration caused Lin Nanyue's heart to tremble. He bit his lower lip tightly, and the pain made him sober.

As if realizing that the person he was looking for was not here, the footsteps finally slowly moved away.

Lin Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief, but his nerves were still tense.

The footsteps that had just left suddenly and quickly approached again. A man in black broke into Lin Nanyue's hiding place, but saw that there was no one inside.

At this time, Lin Nanyue was squatting in the short grass like a cheetah, only two steps away from the man in black, holding her breath and waiting for the man in black to leave.

After confirming that there was no one around, the man in black turned around and left again.

Lin Nanyue once again changed his hiding place. This time he waited for a long time, but the man in black never came back to check.

He then covered his wound and left quickly. Every step he took was like walking on the edge of a knife. It was a matter of life and death, so he had to persevere no matter how tired he was.

Finally, when he climbed over a hill, he saw Nalan Village in the distance.

The buildings there were so familiar and warm, he could even see his tribesmen walking inside.

Although he was tired and hungry, Lin Nanyue didn't dare to stay in this place for long, for he was worried that he would bring danger into the village.

So he started running towards the outside of the Nalan Mountains again.

Lin Nanyue insisted on running for a while and found a place where he had stopped when he went hunting in the mountains. He endured the pain and treated the wound, pulled off the hem of his clothes and bandaged the wound. After resting for a while, he found some root food hidden in the corner and opened it to reveal the white rhizome-like core.

He was extremely hungry and finished his meal in a few bites. After finishing his meal, he didn't dare to stay any longer and continued to run towards the county town despite the pain.

He had to return to his younger sister as soon as possible, because in his arms lay a wooden plaque obtained from the wife of the loyal butler.

After he left, the man in black chased to the place where Lin Nanyue had just stayed.

Seeing the root-like epidermis scattered all over the ground where he landed, the man in black was so angry that he swung his sword around and blew a breath.

At that moment, the air seemed to tremble with his anger.
