"She secretly slipped me a Ganoderma lucidum, saying that the money and goods were paid, and we would often cooperate in the future." Wang Qingyan handed the Ganoderma lucidum to Ouyang Hua and said, "She also said that this gift would be more suitable for me to give to the old lady."

"Ganoderma lucidum!?" Ouyang Yuanxiu frowned, slowly stood up and took a look at the Ganoderma lucidum, then said with a smile, "It seems I was wrong today?"

"Uncle Ouyang has seen countless people, how could he be wrong?" Wang Qingyan explained, "It must be that the servant didn't report it clearly to you..."

Ouyang Yuanxiu smiled and stroked his beard and said, "This Ganoderma lucidum is much more expensive than a tiger. He is an interesting person."

The old lady also laughed, stretched out her hand to beckon Wang Qingyan, took her hand, and said lovingly: "That girl is obviously a person with her own ideas, and she will not show kindness to others easily. Now it seems that she likes you very much."

Wang Qingyan was also surprised, but she did develop a strong interest in the two. They were unbridled and outspoken, hated evil, and never held themselves back.

She was really envious and jealous.

Ouyang Hua looked at the Ganoderma lucidum and smiled self-deprecatingly. It turned out that he was just a shallow person who judged people by their appearance.

It was already afternoon. Xia Qingqing sat in the slow-moving ox cart and asked in confusion, "Huo Yihan, why don't you buy a horse-drawn carriage?"

Huo Yihan turned around while driving the ox cart and looked at Xia Qingqing, saying, "The carriage is too ostentatious."

"Oh."

Xia Qingqing didn't expect that in order for Huo Yihan to sell the tiger, he had to buy an ox cart, but this was indeed a lot more convenient.

"But, do you still have some money?"

Huo Yihan smiled, took out a purse from his arms and handed it to her, saying, "I have some small change left. I was planning to buy some clothes for you and your family..."

Xia Qingqing took a look and saw that there were indeed only a few taels of silver left in the bag, but she didn't return it to him. She stuffed it into her clothes and said, "Let's go buy some clothes now."

When Su Xi heard this, he shook his head and said, "I'm hungry and want to eat meat."

Gurgling.

This sentence made Xia Qingqing's stomach growl, and she realized that she had not eaten since she got off the boat in the morning.

"Then let's go eat first."

"What do you want to eat?" Huo Yihan asked.

"meat!"

"meat!"

The two answered in unison.

Soon the ox cart stopped in front of a restaurant. Before they even entered, they saw Old Wu running over and blocking their way.

"Xia...Xia...Miss," Old Wu said, clutching his chest and breathing heavily, "I'm sorry for offending you today. I didn't know you and Xia Mu were family. I..."

Old Wu, whose name is Wu Dashan, has been a servant of the Ouyang family for ten years and is a dedicated and hardworking man.

Today I was so confused that I was fooled by Xia Mu.

"Let me put it this way, Xia Mu and I have a very bad relationship, it can be described as a life-and-death struggle."

After saying this, Xia Qingqing walked into the restaurant. Old Wu looked at their backs and began to think.

It seems that his guess was correct. Now that he knew the other person's attitude, it would be easier for Xia Mu to deal with it.

After a while, the three of them hurried out of the restaurant.

Su Xi had a look of eating shit on her face and said angrily, "It tastes terrible."

"I'll make you something delicious when we get home. Have some dried meat first." Xia Qingqing didn't expect the food here to be so unpalatable. She felt it might be because the food was not fresh.

There were only two or three tables of guests in the entire restaurant, and the servants were also listless.

Business is bad.

"It seems that County Magistrate Liang has a long way to go." Huo Yihan looked at the deserted streets and couldn't help but worry for Liang Qingshan.

How can such a desolate town become prosperous?

"Auntie, I want to ask if there is any cloth shop nearby?" Xia Qingqing stopped an aunt who was passing by and asked.

"If you want a cloth shop, go to Wang's Cloth Shop on Liulin Street. Their fabrics are pretty good."

"Thanks."

The most prosperous street in Qinghe Town is Liulin Alley. Xia Qingqing was filled with anticipation, after all, this was her first time shopping in this era.

It makes me excited just thinking about it.

But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

The three of them stood at the door of Liulin Street. Apart from the sound of a cold wind, there was not even a sound of anyone.

Not only were there no street vendors, there were also no shoppers.

"This? Are we in the right place?" Xia Qingqing pursed her lips, as if she didn't quite believe that this was the legendary bustling street.

"Yes."

Huo Yihan's words completely shattered Xia Qingqing's hopes. It seemed that Qinghe Town was far more miserable than he had imagined.

"Oh my god! There's a guest!"

Just as the three were about to move, a sudden scream broke the silence of the street.

Suddenly, a lot of people rushed out of the shops on both sides of the street and ran towards Xia Qingqing at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Although there were not many people coming out of each shop, there were still many shops. Xia Qingqing took a look and saw that there were at least eighty people, if not a hundred.

"What's happening here?!"

Xia Qingqing became alert, and Su Xi beside her had already prepared for fighting.

Only Huo Yihan comforted him, "Don't worry, they don't mean any harm..."

Just as they finished speaking, they heard footsteps coming before their eyes, and faces filled with smiles appeared in front of them.

"Are you looking for something to buy? We sell jade, come and take a look!"

"Come and look at our spices. Our shop is the best, with all kinds of spices..."

"This young master is here to visit our iron shop?"

This promotion really caught Xia Qingqing off guard. Seeing everyone working hard to promote their own store, she felt both funny and sad.

"Excuse me everyone, I'm here to buy fabric today and won't consider anything else for now."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned ugly, and they suddenly lost their strength like a deflated ball.

"Are you really not going to take a look at our shop?" One of the old men asked again, and when he saw Xia Qingqing shook her head, he completely wilted.

The harder you ran just now, the slower you walk now.

"God wants to destroy my Li family!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry was heard, followed by a "bang" sound, which made the already disappointed people even more desperate.

"Mr. Li jumped off the building!"

Everyone gathered around. Xia Qingqing took a look through the gap and saw a man lying in a pool of blood, with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose, and his body shaking constantly.

After a while, he closed his eyes, and his last look was filled with determination and regret.

"Father! Father!"

The girl's voice was trembling. She staggered out of the shop and lay beside Li Dongjia, shaking constantly. The tears on her face ruined her delicate makeup.

Xia Qingqing didn't expect that Li Nian, who was so arrogant just now, now had his family broken up.
