Chapter 115
Back home, Xiaoxun had already picked up Xiaozhao and made dinner.

The whole family sat around a small table, squeezing each other to eat.

I don't know if it's because Xiaoxun's craftsmanship has improved again, or because of Xiaoruo's relaxed and joyful heart after finishing the important task today, the food tonight is extraordinarily delicious.

At the dinner table, Xiaoruo talked about what happened at Qipo's place today, and which shop she was going to visit tomorrow, and bought it if there was no accident.

As the head of the family, she holds the financial power, and Xiao Xun's family, who receive pocket money from her every month, all believe in her judgment. Only Xiao Xun asks if he wants to accompany him tomorrow.

"No need, you just arrived at the General Escort, and it's a busy time, I can handle it." Xiao Ruo smiled sweetly at him, and gave him chopsticks chicken sauce broad beans.

Xiaoxun didn't force it, he was indeed very busy these days.

The shopkeeper Fang has become the head of the bodyguard bureau, and is being led by the old shopkeeper to meet dignitaries and wealthy households, so as to lay the foundation for future business.

Jiang Ping is the second in command. He is busy sorting out and assigning the ongoing tasks of the Escort Bureau, and receiving the heads of Escort Bureaus from various regions who come to report their monthly results.

He was appointed as the third in command, and he had to manage all the escorts and escorts in Yingzhou Shunji.

The third in command of the airborne has not been accepted by all bodyguards, and people come to him every day for a few tricks.

The job of bodyguard is that whoever is strong will be justified, Xiaoxun knew that he would have to spend all his time in the bodyguard for the next few days, until he beat all the unconvinced thorns into conviction.

The next day, it was still Xiaoruo who hired a soft sedan chair to take Xiaozhao to the Imperial College.

Manpower is expensive in Yingzhou, so the siblings simply hired a big sedan chair for two people, which saved half a tael of money for the sedan chair.

In the rickety sedan chair, Xiao Zhao stood next to the eldest sister, raised his head and said, "Sister, the heavens will send you a great mission, so people must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, and empty their bodies. Mess with what he did, so he moved his heart and endured it, and once benefited what he couldn't do."

Looking at the baby brother's white and tender face, Xiao Ruo's cute heart trembled, and Xiao Zheng was too serious, which made her even more cute.

"Why are you memorizing the essay all of a sudden?" She forcibly resisted the urge to pinch that soft little face. Her younger brother is already a man, and she wanted to take care of the little guy's self-esteem.

"I mean, I can go to the Imperial College by myself in the future, sister doesn't have to send me off every day." Xiao Zhao said seriously.

"How can this be done..." Xiaoruo decided to veto it without even thinking about it. Even if it was a Juren master, her younger brother was only a ten-year-old Juren master.

How can a ten-year-old child go to a school 6000 meters away by himself at [-]:[-] every morning?
Xiao Zhao is well aware of the elder sister's weakness, and immediately settles the score for the elder sister.

"Sister, if I go to the Imperial College alone, I can only hire a sedan chair, which can save at least a tael of silver per day compared to the two together."

"And my sister said last night that she would close the shop, and the shop will open in the morning. After sending me to the Imperial College, I will return to the shop. Then I will miss the opening business. Let's just miss the sale of one high-grade cordyceps. One hundred and one Root, it’s 3000 taels a month.”

He calculated the accounts quickly and clearly, and Xiao Ruo was rendered speechless by his words, and there was a shortfall of three thousand and thirty taels... Grandet Ruo's flesh ached.

"Then...then are you sure it's okay to go to school alone?" She was still a little hesitant.

Xiao Zhao nodded affirmatively.

He was the only prison student in the Imperial College who was sent to school by his family, and the others were sent by family servants or young men. Of course, he didn't say the latter sentence.

Xiaoruo finally compromised, straightened the collar of the baby brother, and tugged at the cuffs before reluctantly saying: "Then you have to be careful when you go to and from school, and send someone to call me if something happens."

Xiao Zhao nodded obediently again.

The bearers in Yingzhou had quick legs and feet and arrived at their destination on time.

After watching Xiao Zhao enter the gate of the Imperial College, and paying the bearer for today's sedan chair, Xiao Ruo walks on Zhuque Street just like yesterday.

She had an appointment with Qi Po, so it was completely in time to walk over slowly at this moment.

Most of the shops on the north side of the Fugui Building sell pastries and food, so they will open early. Xiao Ruo can smell the aroma of food coming from the shops all the way there, which stimulates her to secrete saliva continuously.

There were a lot of people buying pastries and eating food in the morning, most of them were dressed as domestic servants, and they should have come to buy breakfast food for the master.

Xiaoruo is very satisfied with the flow of people, but the composition of the staff is a bit pity, the house servants will not take the initiative to buy expensive Cordyceps.

Observing the customer flow of other shops along the way, Xiaoruo walked unhurriedly to the ghost shop that Qi Po said yesterday.

She came early, and the seventh wife hadn't arrived yet.

The door of the shop on the left side of the ghost shop has a plaque with the words "Jinyuzhai".

The shop on the right is two connected into one, and the plaque in the middle reads "Hede Tea House".Even though the door was opened at this moment, there was no guest. Only the waiter was watching the passers-by cleverly at the door, trying to attract a few guests.

Seeing Xiaoruo looking slightly towards their shop, the clerk immediately greeted her courteously, "Does this girl want to buy tea? Please come inside!"

It was still early, and Xiaoruo also wanted to see what kind of goods the neighbors were selling in the future, so she responded, lifted the corner of her skirt and entered the Hede Tea House.

I didn't expect to attract customers as soon as the door opened today. The clerk smiled brightly and introduced his business to Xiaoruo.

"What would you like to order, girl? This is the newly arrived jasmine, which is fragrant and pleasant, and it can be used with pastries to relieve tiredness and beautify the skin!"

"Here is also the bag of Eight Treasures Leicha. Take it back and roast it for a little while to mash it up and make tea. It's very convenient!"

Looking along the shelves one by one, Xiaoruo found that Hede Tea House has a wide range of businesses, ranging from classic Maofeng and Longjing to scented teas that women prefer, and even fancy teas that can be used as snacks.

However, except for the multiple combinations of flower teas, other leaf teas and scented teas are sold as a single variety.

She remembered the Liubai tea and Xihuo tea developed by old man Cen in Shangxi town. I don't know if Hede tea house is interested in such formula tea. It would be a good way of income if she could sell the tea formula to them.

"Girl?" The guy didn't get a response, so he called out again with a louder voice.

"Ah? Oh... Let me take a look first..." The two opened shopfronts are combined together, spacious and bright, and only she and the assistant are empty at the moment.

Xiao Ruo looked at the various tea ingredients seemingly casually, and started talking to the waiter in a guiding way.

"You open so early, I don't think the two shops next to you are open."

The clerk's face froze, but he immediately returned to his natural expression, and said, "One is empty, and the other is in the jewelry business, so it will open later."

Picking up the topic, Xiaoruo continued to casually chat with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, "The shop in Fugui Building is so valuable, is there anyone willing to keep it empty?"

Unavoidable, the clerk could only scratch his face, and replied: "That shop is not very clean, so no one has been renting it..."

Feeling that it was not good for him to say so, the man hurriedly explained: "But only in the middle of the night, there are occasional noises! It is quiet during the day! Moreover, our house and the neighbors have built an extra layer of walls, and pasted Jintai Temple's charms , the shop next door has nothing to do with ours!"

I'm afraid that the guests will feel scared and don't want to stay in the tea house.

"Oh? Haunted? Aren't the people on this street afraid?" Xiaoruo said while picking up the packet of ingredients for the Eight Treasure Lei Cha, signaling to pay the bill.

Quickly helping Xiaoruo to tie the package with waterproof oil paper, the clerk replied: "The frequency of trouble is not high, and it is only in the middle of the night. Besides, the shops here are in short supply, so we can't stop doing business because of this, at most Everyone just avoid that shop when passing by."

Xiaoruo nodded thoughtfully, and took out some silver to settle the bill.

As soon as the money was paid, Qi Po poked her head in, "Miss Xiao, are you here? I said, why did I hear your voice?"

"My mother-in-law is getting stronger and stronger, and her ears are better than mine!" Xiaoruo smiled, picked up the ingredients and left the tea house.

Seeing the guest just now standing beside Qi Po, waiting for her to take out the key to open the gate of the ghost shop, the guy felt like a thunderbolt...

It's over, it's over, what did he say to her just now? !
After so many years, someone finally came to Qi Po to look at this shop, so he won't be disturbed by his few words, right?

Qi Po is notoriously powerful. If she knew that she broke her business because of her, would she tear him alive?

I wish I could give myself two slaps with a broken mouth until a quarter of an hour ago, the guy began to say with a mournful face that the Tathagata Buddha blesses Qi Po not to hear what he just said...
