Chapter 89
Before Mr. Xiao died, he asked his son to swear that all descendants of the Xiao family would be guarded here, waiting for that destined person.

Since then, the Xiao family has stayed in Huaishu Town. Their family has a great career, and they have naturally become the principals in the town.

The county magistrate gave the post of mayor to Xiao's family. Xiao Jian has been living in his grandfather's house in the capital since he was young. When he came to the town at the age of 20, he was waiting here to replace his father.

Father Xiao has been living in the capital with his wife and grandson. He has not been an official, but has been taking care of the Xiao family's property, so the father and son do not see each other a few times throughout the year, and they communicate by letter.

This is the current situation of the Xiao family. Although Xi'er doesn't know how the Xiao family is, she knows that Xiao Jian's family background is also very good.

It's just why he can't deal with that little magistrate. It can only be said that the backstage behind this magistrate Liu is something the Xiao family can't afford.

No matter what the outside world is like, Xi'er still lives as she pleases.

Shopkeeper Fang asked around to inquire about the injured traders, and made a list of those who were seriously injured and another list of those who were slightly injured.

Xi'er took a look at the list, "Put up a notice and ask someone to send a message to the vendors, and ask them to come to the shop with their household registration to receive compensation. Those who are seriously injured get 100 taels, and those who are slightly injured get 50 taels from Uncle Ma's place." , you send a buddy to send 200 taels over."

"It needs several thousand taels of silver."

"How much is left in the account?"

"3000 taels"

Xi'er didn't know enough, so she handed him a few bank notes, "The business will start tomorrow, don't let anyone take advantage of it."

"Yes, Master"

Shopkeeper Fang left with 3000 taels of silver bills, which she earned from selling medicine in Fucheng last time, and she hadn't had time to tidy up the things that came from the raid.

Since people in the town heard about Liu Zhifu, they all asked shopkeeper Fang when they would be open.

They are used to the Luo family's produce, and if they don't eat it for a few days, they feel that something is missing.

Now when I hear that the Luo family will be open tomorrow, I will hold back my energy and buy more, lest there will be jealous people looking for trouble for the Luo family, so that they will not be able to eat the products of the Luo family.

Xi'er is fine, walking around the town with her hands behind her back, people always greet her along the way, she is a celebrity now,

Since she had a shop, she seldom wandered around the town. Thinking of one thing, Xi'er went straight to the only teahouse in the town.

Walking inside, the shopkeeper recognized her immediately.

"Yo, Miss Xi'er, you are a rare guest, welcome, welcome!"

She looked inside, "You don't have many customers here."

"Yes, it's too hot, some people can't go out without going out"

"Shall we discuss something?"

"Please tell me"

Although Xi'er may be small, she is capable. Everyone in the town respects her.

"How about finding a storyteller?"

"Where can I find it right now? No."

Xi'er got angry when she heard the shopkeeper's words, she was too bad at doing business, and when a customer made a request, she didn't find a solution, but found various reasons to evade it.

He didn't know how much business he would bring in if he got a storyteller or a singer, he was really speechless.

"Our town is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more elderly people who are idle at home. It's meaningless to stay at home all day. If there is a storyteller, do you think they will come?"

"I'm here, but some people don't want tea, and they take up space, so I'm losing money?"

"Just say, can you find a storyteller?" Xi'er asked directly, having lost patience with him.

"can"

"Find someone who speaks well, who speaks well, or who speaks poorly, how much money is it a month?"

"Twelve"

"Okay, I will pay for the first month's money. If your business is bad, I will take care of him in the future. If the business is good, you can take care of him, how about it?"

"How embarrassing"

Xi'er gritted her small silver teeth, and secretly scolded the shopkeeper, your uncle, you deserve it for not being able to eat four dishes in your life.

"I said that your business is really bad. If you do what you do a month, you can only earn a dozen or so taels."

"Yes." Speaking of which, the shopkeeper sighed.

"If you can buy a house in the town, who will pay you for the tea? Whoever comes to listen to the book and doesn't want to drink tea, whoever has the nerve to listen to the book for nothing, can't order melon seeds, drink tea, eat snacks, etc. , turn your head around in circles, okay?"

"Hey, I don't have a girl like Xi'er who knows how to do business."

"I won't talk nonsense, just prepare the tea, melons and fruits, and quickly invite a storyteller."

"That's fine, let's make a deal, and I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to invite someone."

Xi'er patted an ingot of ten taels of silver on the table, "Remember to ask for a good one. I'll bring my mother over to listen to the book the day after tomorrow. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After leaving the teahouse, she went to Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Su for a stroll. Seeing that their business was good and they were busy, she didn't sit down much, and then went to Qiao's to have a look.

Just about to go home, Xiao Jian blocked her in Mrs. Qiao's room.

"Miss Xi'er, don't leave in a hurry, you know everything about Fucheng, right?"

"People in the town are talking a lot. If I don't know, then I'm not a fool? They got retribution, and they shouldn't come to make trouble again in a short time. I asked the shopkeeper Fang to open for business tomorrow. What's wrong? What happened again? ?”

"That's not true, I'm just asking you"

Lying on the bed, Mrs. Qiao was startled when she heard it, "What's wrong with Prefect Liu?"

Xiao Jian told Qiao Shi about the Liu family's affairs, and Qiao Shi suddenly grinned.

"I just said that sister Xi'er is a blessed person. Whoever wants to harm her will be punished. Let's see, let's be sure."

Xiao Jian took a deep breath, and he cupped his hands at Xi'er.

"Before, I always doubted you, but after this incident, my doubts about you were dispelled. Now Xiao has to say that you are a blessed person, and you are also a person who can bring luck to others."

"What do you suspect of me?"

Xi'er stared wide-eyed, with a puzzled expression on her face, seeing her like this, Xiao Jian felt even more embarrassed.

"What happened to the Li family, I thought it was you who did it"

"I'm just a little village girl who knows how to farm. If I could clean up Li's house, I would have done it a long time ago. Why should I suffer so much at his house?"

"But every time the Li family comes to bully you, you will be punished afterwards."

"That's just a coincidence"

"Can I ask you another question?"

"Ask, I know everything"

"I feel that your money is too fast"

"That's it, I can let you look at the account book. From the time the shop opened until now, it has earned more than 1000 taels a month. The farm land is worthless, and it is all paid to the tooth shop.
It was just over 1 taels of silver. I had no money, so I asked them to put it first. Every once in a while, when some silver was saved in the shop, Manager Liang took a sum from the account.
There is nothing to say about it, the main reason is that the greenhouse made the most money a year ago, and it took several thousand taels of silver in half a month, and I used this money to pay the deposit to the dental bank."

Xi'er blinked her big eyes and looked sincere, which made Xiao Jian even more ashamed.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, please forgive me, I'm just out of curiosity, I don't want to do anything to you, even if those things are true, those people deserve it"

"You're just curious, I won't care about it, I'm leaving, and I'll come see sister Qiao another day"

"I see you off"

"No, you can accompany Sister Qiao"

Xi'er left, Qiao looked at Xiao Jian puzzled.

"Sanggong, isn't it good to keep this in your heart? Why do you say it?"

"I always feel sorry for this girl. When I received Qi Yuan's letter that day, I knew I had misunderstood her. When the incident happened at Liu Zhifu's house, she was staying with you at our house."

"Okay, calm down in the future, just treat us as one more good friend, and stop guessing randomly"

"Well, I wrote to my parents and they will be back soon"

"For sister Xi'er?"

"Not all, one is to come back to see you and their granddaughter, and the other is to let my father know the Luo family as well, and let my father help me with palm eyes. After all, it is not a trivial matter to have a predestined person."

"Stop coaxing me, if it weren't for sister Xi'er, you wouldn't be writing letters"
