Chapter 208: Ruo Dong's New Sister
There used to be some colorful flags on the streets to liven up the atmosphere, but now they have all been taken down.
The closed shops on the street are still shut.
It will take time for the new county magistrate to restore the economy and the mess that is Wei County.
"Sister, let's go to the cloth street!" Shitou turned his head and shouted.
"Let's go to the silver shop first!" said Ji Xiaobei.
When he heard about going to the silver shop, Shitou felt a little uncomfortable and bad memories came to his mind.
The last time Haixia stripped his pants off, it left an indelible shadow in his heart.
Fortunately, that jewelry store has closed down.
Shitou cracked the whip and Gide quickly passed through that shameful place.
Ji Xiaobei looked around and thought to himself: I wonder if Xiaolian’s silver shop has been closed or not. Last time he said he was planning to close the shop in Wei County.
While thinking, he arrived at the street of the county government office, and the Ruo family's Cuiyin Building was right in front.
From a distance I saw quite a few people gathered around.
"Sister, it seems like a shop is being listed. The world is so chaotic, who has the money to open a shop? I don't understand..."
Shi Tou shook his head and said in an air of being contemptuous.
Ji Xiaobei glanced at him and said: Old Master Shitou, you have only lived for a few days and you are still showing off your poverty here.
It really is Cuiyinlou. The three big silver characters make people's eyes hurt.
"Stone, stop, stop, it's right here!"
Shitou parked the car by the side of the road.
Someone at the door was talking: "Didn't they say that this Cuiyinlou was going to move away? Why did it suddenly reopen?"
"Haven't you heard? The owner of this silver shop is the Ruo family, a wealthy family in the capital. Originally, all the things were packed up and waiting for the convoy to transport them away. Somehow, one of the owner's sisters showed up in Wei County. The Ruo family said that it was convenient for them to meet with their sister, so they reopened the shop!"
"Oh my, the rich people open jewelry stores, just like us poor people set up stalls to sell cabbages..."
……
Shitou looked puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said to Ji Xiaobei, "Could it be that the boss didn't know his sister before? How come his sister suddenly appeared in our county? Is his sister a human or a ghost?"
Ji Xiaobei: …
Shitou's eyes suddenly widened: "Sister, I know, that must not be the biological sister of the Ruo family. Maybe she is a concubine arranged in Wei County. She reopened the silver shop for the convenience of meeting..."
Ji Xiaobei: …
Shi Tou was quite proud of his idea.
But when he turned around and saw his sister with a gloomy face, he was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and dared not talk nonsense anymore.
He chuckled and said, "Sister, the silver shop isn't open yet, let's go and have a look somewhere else!"
Ji Xiaobei glared at him: How could such a young man in his prime have such a gossipy mouth!
The early autumn sun was so strong that she pulled her scarf up to cover half of her face.
Prevent sun spots.
She went to the Ruo family's shop and asked a man in a long gown, "Has your boss Ruo come?"
The man was stunned. No one in Wei County knew Boss Ruo, so everyone went to the shopkeeper for help when they had any problems.
"Auntie... no, sir, do you know our host?"
The man looked at Ji Xiaobei and asked puzzledly.
"I don't know him, just asking casually!" Ji Xiaobei turned around and was about to leave.
The shopkeeper came out of the house, looked at Ji Xiaobei's back and asked the man just now.
"Boss, I don't know what this guy does. I can't tell whether he is a man or a woman. He looks fierce, but he doesn't look like a bandit!" said the young accountant in a long gown.
The shopkeeper slapped him on the back of the head and said, "What bandits? There's a new county magistrate. Where did these bandits come from in Wei County?"
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, I was wrong!"
The shopkeeper took a few quick steps and ran towards the carriage. The man looked like a woman when he walked. It was said that the boss's sister couldn't tell the gender of the man at first glance.
Ji Decai ran very fast and had already run far away.
The shopkeeper turned around, twirling his beard and thinking:
The accountant just said that the person looked fierce and should not be the boss's new sister.
The shopkeeper shook his head:
There are so many sisters in the boss's family, but there is only this one sister. It seems that this sister is not an ordinary person.
Ji Xiaobei went to the store where he sold the crystal bracelet last time.
The young man who was dozing at the door saw Ji Decai from afar and ran into the house in a panic: "Boss, boss, here she comes, the Goddess of Wealth is here..."
The shopkeeper ran out of the house holding his long gown.
The crystal bracelets in the shop had long been sold out, and the ladies in the county came every day to ask when new models of bracelets would be available.
The shopkeeper was pestered to the point of vomiting blood. The last time he heard Ji Xiaobei say that she was from Jijiawan.
He had wanted to look for her some time ago. Although he didn't know her name, she had a distinctive appearance and he would definitely be able to find her by asking around in Jijia Bay.
To make matters worse, I heard that things were not peaceful in Cishui Town. Two villages were massacred by bandits, including Jijiawan.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he stopped and went to look for Ji Xiaobei.
Life is still important.
I didn’t expect that the God of Wealth would really come.
"Sir... no, girl... you're here!" The shopkeeper smiled as if he had caught a cold.
When Shitou heard him shout "Master!", he thought he was calling him.
His expression immediately became serious. He was now the famous leader of the Ji family army in Wei County.
Then I heard the word "girl", and I suddenly felt deflated.
"Girl, are you coming? What good things have you brought this time?"
Ji Xiaobei sat down, drank a few sips of tea slowly, and took out a few of the latest styles of crystal bracelets from his sleeves.
"Oh, it's another glass bracelet. This is a good thing, girl!"
All of Ji Xiaobei's crystal ornaments and pendants were kept for Ruo Xiaolian's family, and they would be sold to him when they meet him again.
So, she only took out some bracelets and sold them to this small jewelry store.
A total of 52 taels of silver were sold.
Ji Xiaobei took out a small piece of silver and pushed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Thank you for taking care of my business. This is for you to drink tea!"
The shopkeeper couldn't stop smiling.
"Boss, I heard that our county magistrate has just taken office?" Ji Xiaobei asked indifferently.
"Yes, you are far away from the county, so you may not know that our county magistrate was sent by the Anzhou Tongpan himself. Do you know who the Anzhou Tongpan is?"
Ji Xiaobei shook his head curiously, staring at the shopkeeper with a gossipy look in his eyes.
Seeing that Ji Xiaobei liked to hear these things, the shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said, "The judge of Anzhou was appointed by the emperor. I heard that he had won countless battles in the northern border before. He is very brave and is good at both civil and military affairs. I heard that he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, is unrestrained, has a tall and straight figure, and is handsome..."
Shi Tou coughed lightly in displeasure.
Ji Xiaobei retracted his gossipy look. The shopkeeper felt that what he said was a bit off the mark and smiled awkwardly.
"Anyway, this county magistrate is quite powerful. The previous county magistrate Shen was dismissed from his post and investigated. He is now detained in Anzhou Tianlao..." "What about the people around her? I heard that there is a sharp-tongued legal advisor?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
