The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao took Jiang Weinan and Jiang Ruonan out, and they also brought a few bags. After all, this time they were going to do something big, which could not be completed in a day or two.

Jiang Weinan asked Xie Jiaojiao: "Why are we going to the county town? There's nothing fun to do in the county town."

Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled, "Are you going to the county town to deal with Li Qiu and that vicious woman for me?"

Xie Jiaojiao lowered the curtain and looked at him with a smile: "Why? Do you really want to punish her?"

Jiang Weinan snorted coldly: "When the time comes, you deal with that vicious woman, and I will deal with her son. I will not let them have an easy life!"

"That's fine, but let's see if we can deal with her this time. Let's do something else first."

"Cousin, what are we going to do?"

As he said this, he used his fan to fan Xie Jiaojiao. Jiang Weinan became unhappy when he saw this, so he took away his fan and fanned his wife himself.

"Let's go and see the shop."

Jiang Ruonan glared at Jiang Weinan before saying, "Shop? Is this what we are going to do for a living?"

"You will know then."

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she leaned in the corner of the car, closed her eyes and went to rest.

Jiang Ruonan took out an account book and looked at it himself.

Jiang Weinan leaned against Xie Jiaojiao and kept fanning her, fearing that he would overheat his wife.

When they arrived in the town, Lai Fu brought Manager Wang with him.

Because we set off late, it was already noon when we arrived at the county town.

Manager Wang took them to his own restaurant for lunch and then to his own inn to stay.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the inn and raised her eyebrows slightly: "The design of this inn is quite unique!"

Steward Wang smiled and said, "This is something the eldest lady figured out when she was still alive."

The young lady that Manager Wang mentioned was Jiang Li.

This inn is different from ordinary inns. It looks small from the front, but once you pass through the front lobby, the back is very big. The inn has two floors and is built like a circle, with a small bridge and flowing water in the middle, and Champs Elysées and Pavilions, which is very poetic.

Manager Wang explained, "In the past, during the Dragon Boat Festival in our county, there were dragon boat races and poetry competitions. Many foreign literati were willing to come and watch. Miss's designs were all to cater to the preferences of those people. Business was very good at the beginning, but after many years, it is no longer as good as before."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

Manager Wang took them to the rooms. Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan naturally shared a room, while Jiang Ruonan had a separate room.

Manager Wang pointed to the room where Xie Jiaojiao and the others lived and said, "This room was where the eldest lady lived before. Whenever she was tired from patrolling the store, she would take a simple rest here."

After Manager Wang finished speaking, he asked them to take a rest first and then he left.

After listening to Manager Wang, Jiang Weinan looked at the layout of the room and had some insights. He took the bag from Xie Jiaojiao and put it on the bed.

At this time, the waiter in the shop brought hot water and was about to leave when he was stopped by Xie Jiaojiao.

"The waiter."

"Young lady."

"Is your shopkeeper here today?"

The waiter replied respectfully, "Young Madam, I am here."

"Tell him that I'll talk to him later."

The waiter nodded and retreated respectfully.

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and saw Jiang Weinan holding a hairpin on the dressing table in a daze.

Xie Jiaojiao walked over and asked him, "Is this your mother's thing?"

Jiang Weinan nodded: "This is a gift for my mother. I thought she had thrown it away! I never thought it was here."

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the loneliness in his eyes, took the hairpin from his hand, compared it to the mirror, and put it on herself: "Does it look good?"

She asked, smiling at him.

For a moment, Jiang Weinan seemed to see his mother in the yard, holding the hairpin he gave her, inserting it into her hair bun and asking him if it looked good.

Jiang Weinan came back to his senses: "It looks good."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled slightly, took off the hairpin and held it in her hand. The hairpin was made of jade and felt very soft.

"It seems that the owner of this store is a good person. Such valuable things are still there. I think he is very loyal to your mother."

Jiang Weinan took the hairpin and put it back on her: "The men my mother kept before were all very loyal to her. Otherwise, I would have squandered the family fortune long ago if I had spent so lavishly over the years."

Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing when she heard it, "You are quite self-aware!"

Jiang Weinan touched his nose.

"Okay, you take a rest too. I'm going to talk to Manager Wang about something. I'll call you in the evening."

Jiang Weinan disagreed.

Xie Jiaojiao said, "I'm going to do some serious work. I think you must feel uncomfortable seeing all these old things of your mother. Just be obedient and I'll be back soon."

Jiang Weinan then let her go.

Xie Jiaojiao walked along the corridor and arrived at the hall, where a few diners were sitting scattered around.

I saw Manager Wang talking to a person sitting there, and Xie Jiaojiao was standing aside waiting for him.

"Young Madam, can I go and call Uncle Wang for you?"

Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "Nothing, please help me get a glass of water."

The man went there immediately.

When Xie Jiaojiao was drinking water, Manager Wang saw her and hurried over respectfully. He also quickly put down his teacup.

"Ma'am, please come with me."

Xie Jiaojiao quickly stood up and followed.

Steward Wang brought Xie Jiaojiao to the person who had just spoken to him and said, "Chenpi, this is our young mistress."

When Chen Pi heard this, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists towards Xie Jiaojiao: "Greetings to the young lady."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly, and found him somewhat familiar.

Steward Wang then introduced: "Young Madam, Chen Pi is the son of Shopkeeper Chen of Qingfeng Tower."

That's it!

Chen Pi said to Xie Jiaojiao, "I heard my father talk about the young lady a long time ago. My father was busy finishing the affairs at hand, so he arranged for me to come here first."

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Pi immediately waved his hand: "Father said that you, Madam, are good at doing business. If I follow you, I can learn a lot."

Xie Jiaojiao said modestly, your father was too serious. When it comes to doing business, I still have to learn from him!

Then he said to Manager Wang: "Uncle Wang, let's go and see the shop you found."

"Young Madam, please take a rest. We can go and see it tomorrow."

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head slightly: "Tomorrow, there are other things to do!"

When Manager Wang heard this, he immediately had someone harness the carriage and went out with Xie Jiaojiao.

While in the car, Manager Wang took out a map of the county town and said, "Madam, this is a map of the county town. Our store is here!"

Manager Wang pointed to the center of the map.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "The rent in this area is not cheap, right?"
