"Someone who can grow fruit trees?" Shopkeeper Li pondered the meaning of Tang Qiyue's words and silently searched for such a person in his mind. "Let me think about it."

Tang Qiyue did not rush him, but drank tea quietly, standing up from time to time to look at the window. She had to admit that the building of this era exuded an antique charm.

Different from the ancient flavor of modern times that has been baptized by thousands of years, Tang Qiuyue likes this place more and the air is much fresher.

Suddenly, the sound of horses galloping came from afar. Tang Qiyue looked over from the second floor and saw a red horse coming towards her, which stunned her.

It was the girl in red on horseback who was too bright and colorful, completely different from the fresh and elegant colors of Linjiang Town.

Tang Qiyue could not deny that her eyes became hot when she first saw the fluttering red dress, and that horse was also a rare good horse.

The girl in red had skin as white as cream, red lips without any makeup, and a petite figure, but the momentum of waving the whip could not be ignored. Looking at the hair accessories in her hair, although Tang Qiyue didn't know much about gold and silver hairpins, she knew that the hairpins in the girl's hair were very valuable. It was no exaggeration to say that they were worth a house in Linjiang Town.

This girl actually walks around with a house on her head?

Tang Qiyue was just feeling worried about her when she saw a carriage chasing closely from behind. The driver was a guard in uniform, and there were two maids who were dressed no worse than the ladies of wealthy families. She narrowed her eyes.

If she was watching a play just now, then Tang Qiyue now felt that this woman was no simple matter. Not to mention that she was worth a lot of money, just looking at the guards sitting on the carriage and the guards running behind the carriage, she could be sure that this girl was either from a wealthy family or the daughter of a high-ranking official.

Why did the rich girl come to this town? I knew that Linjiang Town was the farthest and poorest town from the capital, so not many people would be willing to come.

"Miss, please slow down, don't fall." The maids Chunzhi and Xia Chan hurried to the horse of the woman in red and carefully helped her get off the horse.

"No need for you, get out of the way!" The woman in red waved the two men away and jumped off the horse.

This action frightened Chunzhi and Xiachan so much that their faces turned pale.

"Is this the biggest restaurant in town? It's so shabby?"

Tang Qiyue was standing at the window above the door and heard everything clearly. She naturally did not miss the disdain and pride in the other party's tone and raised her eyebrows sharply.

The red-dressed lady was so stylish that people around her stopped to watch, and the waiter in the restaurant quickly came out to greet her.

"Please clean up the biggest and best room in your restaurant. I want it!" The woman in red casually threw a gold nugget to the waiter, "Take it!"

The waiter held the gold nugget in his hands with a look of disbelief. How much could such a big piece of gold be worth?

Tang Qiyue upstairs was also curious. She had to admit that her eyes lit up when she saw the gold nugget.

She is indeed a rich lady, and a very wealthy one at that.

The woman in red raised her neck proudly, "As expected, it is vulgar."

Just a lump of gold!

Chunzhi quickly bowed and said, "Why don't you lead the way!"

The waiter came to his senses and apologized quickly, "Please follow me, follow me."

"Didn't father say that my cousin was in Linjiang Town? Such a shabby town? How could my cousin live here! But my cousin..."

"Miss, that person might have been delayed by something, please don't worry."

Tang Qiuyue listened quietly to the conversation between the master and servants. After seeing the guards and horses disappear at the door, she turned around and told Manager Li.

Shopkeeper Li was still thinking about who he knew who could plant trees. He just happened to think of a family. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Qiyue say that a big customer had come. He immediately went out of the room to serve them.

Tang Qiyue was not in a hurry either. Instead, she sipped her tea while thinking about who the cousin was in the conversation between master and servant just now.

Judging from the red-dressed lady's pomp and circumstance, the cousin she mentioned must be a good person. Who could it be? And why would he be in Linjiang Town?

Suddenly, Tang Qiyue thought of Xie Changjin from her own family. Could it be him?

At this time, Xie Changjin, who was coaxing Zhaobao to crawl around in a large winnowing basket and play with building blocks, felt itchy in his ears.

He rubbed his ears, pinched Zhaobao's plump cheeks, and said vaguely, "Your mother must be thinking about me."

Zhao Bao pushed his big hand, "Bad!"

"Zhao Bao, be good and call me daddy."

"Daddy, what is it?" Zhao Bao blinked his innocent and bright eyes, stared at Xie Changjin and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xie Changjin's face darkened, "Daddy is daddy, not a delicious food. Be good and call me daddy."

"Don't shout!" Zhao Bao twisted her butt proudly, with her back facing Xie Changjin.

Xie Changjin couldn't help but slap him on the butt, "You bad boy!"

Although Xie Changjin was anxious to have Zhao Bao call him dad, he would not force him too much. After all, he was his biological father and his biological son, and he could not run away!

Tang Qiyue waited in the side room for a full half hour before she saw the sweaty shopkeeper Li appear.

Shopkeeper Li wiped the sweat from his forehead fiercely, "Oh, when did such a young lady come to Linjiang Town? She is really hard to serve!"

People are still not satisfied with the largest and best wing of the Yingke Building, as it is either old here or broken there, or has an unpleasant smell.

In short, Mr. Li was almost brought to his knees by the incident.

"Difficult to serve but good money."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li chuckled and said, "You are right. A big gold nugget is worth two pieces, which is enough to cover the income of the restaurant for half a month."

Tang Qiyue raised her eyebrows and said, "She knows you made money, but please don't say it out loud, as she is very jealous!"

hum!

"Oh, right! Aren't you looking for someone who can grow fruit trees? I think of someone here."

Hearing this, Tang Qiyue immediately perked up and sat up straight, "Who is it? Where is it?"

"He lives in the rented house on the west side of town, but I don't know the exact location. You have to go and look for it yourself."

Are you in the west of the city?

Tang Qiuyue had been to that area before. The people living there were either poor students or couples who set up stalls. Where did the people who grew fruit trees live?

Seeing the confusion in Tang Qiyue's eyes, Shopkeeper Li quickly explained, "Miss Tang, I won't hide it from you. The people who planted fruit trees were very rich in the past. They even rented a mountain to plant fruit trees. It's a pity that God didn't have good eyes in the past two years. It either rained suddenly or didn't rain for several days in a row."

"The fruit trees that family had taken good care of ended up rotting on the trees, and they lost all their money. In the end, they had to sell the land again and again for money. The family no longer rented a house in the town to grow trees, but rented a house in the town and looked for work to fill their stomachs."

Yes, whether you are planting crops or trees, it all depends on God. A good harvest in a year can make you rich, but a bad harvest will leave you in debt.

"If you don't mind, you can go and see this family. I dare say this is the family that can plant trees!"

Tang Qiyue looked at the thumbs-up given by Shopkeeper Li and nodded slightly.
