Jiang Wange couldn't help but laugh when he saw Su Ming being so shy.

"How much did you earn per month in the past?"

"Mrs. Jiang...Mrs. Jiang, my salary includes food and lodging...and is eight hundred coins a month..." Su Ming replied stutteringly.

Hearing this, Jiang Wange didn't think it was expensive at all, and could even be considered cheap labor.

Qianyue and the others’ monthly salary is two taels.

"Then let's do this. From now on, you will work as a waiter in my shop. Food and lodging are still provided. You can live in your original house. I will pay you 1,500 wen a month, but we must sign a contract for at least one year. I cannot fire you casually, and you cannot quit midway. What do you think?"

Since Jiang Wange wants to employ Su Ming, he naturally needs to work for a long time, so he is willing to pay him a higher salary.

Su Ming was shocked when he heard that Jiang Wange offered 1,500 coins as wages, and waved his hands quickly:

"No... not so much... eight hundred wen... is enough..."

"I can offer you 1,500 wen as wages, just take it. As long as you work hard, your wages will only increase in the future. My shop has just started, and it will be very busy in the early stages, and you will need to work harder. If you agree, let's sign and seal it now, and I will advance you one month's wages."

Jiang Wange was very generous and didn't worry that Su Ming would run away with the wages. Uncle Li had told him about Su Ming's situation before. Both his parents were gone and he had no brothers or sisters at home. He was all alone and there was nowhere he could run away.

When Su Ming heard that she wanted to pay him one month's salary in advance, he quickly refused:

"Mrs. Jiang... no need, you can just give it to me next month... that's fine, I have... money on me..."

Seeing this, Jiang Wange no longer forced it.

Uncle Li felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Wange and Su Ming had already reached an agreement.

"Madam Jiang, I have almost packed my things and plan to leave early tomorrow morning. Here are the keys to the store and all the houses in the backyard. Please keep them safe."

As Uncle Li said this, he handed a bunch of keys to Jiang Wange.

After seeing this, Yufeng quickly took it, and Uncle Li put the key in Yufeng's hand.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see Uncle Li off early tomorrow morning, so I wish him a safe journey in advance." Jiang Wange smiled.

"I would like to borrow Madam Jiang's good words."

After Jiang Wange finished chatting with Uncle Li, he took Xiao Fuzi and Su Suming to the street to buy bowls, chopsticks, tables, chairs and benches.

The ancient tables, chairs and benches are really good. You can buy them and put them directly in the store. There is no need to remove formaldehyde and they can be used directly.

In just one day, Jiang Wange had almost finished decorating the store. There were still some details missing, but he was not in a hurry.

"Su Ming, this is the key to the store. I'll give you a copy. Although it hasn't officially opened yet, you have to open the door every morning. If someone asks you what kind of store this is, just say it's a food store. It will open in ten days. I guarantee that there will be things they haven't seen before. If they are interested, remember to come to the store in ten days. There will be an opening event."

Jiang Wange handed the key to Su Ming and then explained the matter to him in detail.

Although Su Ming was a little stutterer, he had a good memory. After Jiang Wange finished speaking, he repeated everything she had just said.

Jiang Wange nodded with great satisfaction, "Yes, that's right. I'll leave this store to you first. I'll come back tomorrow morning to buy other things."

"Okay...Mrs. Jiang...take care..."

Su Ming watched Jiang Wange and her entourage leave, his eyes full of anticipation.

When Jiang Wange returned to Fengming Palace, Xiahou Xuan had not come back yet. He probably didn't expect her to return to the palace so early today.

So Jiang Wange carried Tuan Tuan to find Xiahou Xuan.

"Aci? Why did you return to the palace so early? I thought you..."

"Do you think I won't be back until dark? I bought everything today and came back. The store is not open now, so why should I stay in the store?"

Jiang Wange explained with a smile, then threw Tuantuan to his biological father.

Tuan Tuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiahou Xuan's sleeve tightly, and Xiahou Xuan let Tuan Tuan wrinkle his clothes and was reluctant to say a harsh word.

"Look, our son can now hold on to my sleeves and won't let go. He's very strong."

Xiahou Xuan said in a very doting tone, it is said that children have strong arms, and he finally saw it.

"That's right. Last time, Tuantuan accidentally pulled my hair and hurt my scalp. I couldn't bear to hit him, so I just endured it."

Jiang Wange felt aggrieved when talking about this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Ci. When Tuan Tuan grows up, I will teach him a lesson. Little Tuanzi, don't pull your mother's hair in the future, or your father will spank you."

Xiahou Xuan threatened Xiao Tuantuan in a fierce manner. Xiao Tuantuan could sense his expression and emotions, and immediately became unhappy. He grinned and started crying loudly.

Seeing that Xiahou Xuan had made him cry, Jiang Wange was not in a hurry and let Xiahou Xuan comfort him himself. She was very tired today and did not even have the energy to comfort Tuantuan.

Xiahou Xuan did not panic. He just reached out and covered his mouth, and the crying stopped abruptly. Then he let go. Tuantuan continued to cry, and Xiahou Xuan covered his mouth again, and the crying stopped again. After repeating this two or three times, Tuantuan stopped crying completely and smiled with his eyes curved.

"This kid changes so quickly, crying and laughing. If you were an adult, people would think you were crazy."

Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but complain.

"You can play with your son for a while. I'll lie on the couch and take a nap. When you're done, call me and we'll go back to Fengming Palace together."

"Well, you take a rest, I'll watch over you."

Seeing the fatigue in Jiang Wange's eyes, Xiahou Xuan felt a little distressed. All he could do was to help take care of the child.

Fortunately, Tuan Tuan was very well behaved. As long as no one was teasing him on purpose, he would lean obediently in Xiahou Xuan's arms, not making any noise or making any fuss. He would just suck his fingers and sleep when he was sleepy. If he was hungry, he would open his eyes and stare at Xiahou Xuan, asking him to feed him.

By the time Xiahou Xuan finished dealing with the memorials, the little kid in his arms had already fallen asleep.

He stood up gently, then walked to Jiang Wange's side and woke her up:

"Aci, wake up, let's go back to Fengming Palace and sleep again."

Jiang Wange opened her eyes when she heard Xiahou Xuan's call. After a moment of confusion, she regained her consciousness, then took Tuantuan from Xiahou Xuan's arms, and the two of them walked back to Fengming Palace like they were taking a stroll.

"By the way, when are you going to let Sister Chenfei out of the palace? Don't delay her marriage with Prince Yong'an."

"Don't worry, I have already made plans. On the first day of next month, I will grant her and Ah Cong a marriage, and they will get married after the New Year."

Xiahou Cong has also looked for Xiahou Xuan several times because of this matter. How could Xiahou Xuan not take it to heart?
