Chapter 262 Middle-Aged Woman
In the past three days, Xu Mengxiao has been helping out at her mother's braised pork shop and Taoyuan Township.

I still see Boss Chen of this bookstore every day. It is said that he is a kind-hearted person and often helps poor scholars. He has a good reputation and sells books at very cheap prices.

He also passed the imperial examination in his early years, but had no choice but to drop out of school because of his poor family, which became a big regret. Therefore, it seems that it is not surprising at all that he accomplished the above feat.

In short, after a brief understanding, this is really a good man who can't go wrong.

Although she doesn't have much wealth due to the unfavorable business, but with such a character, if she doesn't come to the business every day, it would seem a bit deliberate, which is indeed a good match for her mother.

But Xu Mengxiao and Lu He both saw that something was wrong with him, and naturally they would not be deceived by his appearance. They just lamented that if he was really a hypocrite, it would not be easy for him to pretend for more than ten years.

"I feel like things have become more interesting." Xu Mengxiao laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Seeing that her mother seemed to be influenced by her the past few days, her attitude towards this person became increasingly cold and avoidant. She lost her previous enthusiasm and did not give him any special treatment. She did not even say hello to him, as if he was no different from other guests.

Boss Chen was also visibly anxious and urgent.

"Be careful, he might be up to something." Lu He couldn't help but remind him, "The man has been found, do you want to take a look."

Xu Mengxiao's expression lit up. In the past three days, she had naturally summoned Shulan over from Zhuangzi.

Shu Lan is the carefree, but very strong and courageous young girl she mentioned earlier. She also looks a bit rough and not that smart, but she is more loyal.

Xu Lingyan liked her very much as soon as he saw her. He immediately used his little knowledge to give her a name that suited her characteristics.
The word "shu" is grand, different from ordinary women, and the word "lan" also has some softness of a daughter's family, which can be said to be attentive.

Shulan liked her very much. Her original name was a nickname. Her family raised her as a boy and used her as a boy. They wanted her to do the hardest work and make the most money. In the end, she was discovered by Zhai Shaoxuan's people and started going around in circles. Now serving Xu Lingyan, her master, she was grateful and excited.

The master and servant hit it off very well as soon as they met, and Xu Mengxiao was also very satisfied. No, the eldest sister had people around her to help protect her, and her mother also came.

Xu Mengxiao followed Lu He to the courtyard and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman.

She is said to be a middle-aged woman. Her face looks like she is in her 40s, unlike her mother, who is in her 30s. Because of her supervision and careful maintenance, she looks like a young woman in her 20s. But there was more than one boss Chen staring at her.

Xu Mengxiao met two or three men by accident alone, and they were all of varying degrees, but they were not as tactful and roundabout as Boss Chen, who scared her mother so much that she wanted to cover her face and wear Dress up as plainly and inconspicuously as possible.

"Madam!" The middle-aged woman was very eye-catching and saluted her as she came up.

Judging from her behavior, she didn't even look like a practicing practitioner, which made Xu Mengxiao even more cautious.

The person Lu He chose was absolutely extraordinary, which meant that the other person's ability was probably better than hers, or that he was very good at pretending!
Xu Mengxiao didn't ask any more questions, "You go to my mother's place."

"Madam?" She seemed a little surprised.
