At the hour of Hai, the pleasure boat set sail, moving slowly along the Grand Canal, with a hundred or so small covered boats following slowly and gently behind.

At the auction banquet held every three years, who is the happiest person today?

He knew without thinking that it must be the shopkeeper Ning from Piaomiao Linglong Pavilion. His smile, which was like that of Maitreya Buddha, had never stopped since the moment the market opened.

As long as Manager Ning is the manager of Piaomiao Linglong Pavilion for one day, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Not only will this wealth be passed down to him, but this enormous wealth will be able to benefit three generations.

However, although he was happy, Manager Ning did not forget what his master had told him in the letter.

If he fails, he will have to go to see the Lord with his head on his shoulders.

The servant following behind Shopkeeper Ning was so curious when he saw him grinning from ear to ear that he couldn't help but approach and ask, "Shopkeeper, did you pick up some treasure? I can see your mouth never closes; it could even fit an egg!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Ning raised his eyebrows, kicked the servant, and snorted coldly, "Can you speak? If not, then shut up! Look at what stupid things you say!"

The servant refused to give up. His eyes darted around as he followed Shopkeeper Ning, chattering on and on: "How about you tell me something so I can have some fun with you? There's a saying: 'It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.'"

"Happy? What are you happy about?" Shopkeeper Ning glared at the servant and kicked him again. "Get out of here and get back to work! If you neglect our customers, I'll deduct all your wages for this month!"

After a pause, Manager Ning threatened again: "All your salary for the whole year will be deducted!"

The servant said with a bitter face, "No, no, no, boss, you can't be so cruel! I have parents and children to take care of... If you deduct the money, how will I support my family?"

As they walked and talked, they happened to meet a servant serving on the upper floors. Manager Ning called out to him and asked, "Hey, has the guest in the Xian's elegant room on the third floor arrived?"

The attendant nodded and replied, "Here he is, here he is. I brought the guest disguised as a young master in early this morning."

"Well, have someone wait outside." Manager Ning explained carefully and repeatedly, but he only realized halfway through his words, "What did you just say? A young master in disguise?"

The attendant didn't notice the inappropriate tone in Shopkeeper Ning's voice, and he also said with some disdain, "That's right. She's obviously a girl, but she insisted on dressing up as a man to come to our pavilion. I don't know what she was thinking."

"Ok?"

Shopkeeper Ning's tone rose, his eyes widened, and he lowered his voice, which was about to break with excitement: "Tell me again, where did you take the guests?"

"Huh? Isn't it the largest private room on the third floor, the Xian room?"

"What! Ouch, wrong, wrong!" Shopkeeper Ning's legs went weak, and he looked panicked. "Are there any other customers who have entered?"

The attendant rubbed the back of his head in confusion. "Isn't it one private room per guest? How can there be more than one room per guest? When did the rules change?"

Manager Ning's mind was blank at this moment. He raised his hand and slapped his shiny forehead with a loud "pa".

"I wonder whose private room that is? How can anyone enter without permission?"

"I know, it's not that she never comes... I want it to be empty anyway, so don't waste it. Besides, the treasures that girl brought are estimated to be quite valuable!"
