Recalling the moment they first met, Yan Xia felt like her nose was about to bleed.

In both her lives, the only time she came into contact with a man was during a tug-of-war competition in junior high school. She lost her grip and landed on the lap of a male classmate behind her.

It's also an invincible tank weighing around 200 pounds.

Comparable to Titan.

She had only ever seen handsome men of this caliber on television.

"Xia-jie, you're awake! I saw you were too sleepy, so I brought you breakfast. Eat up, it's still warm."

Jin Yu only realized she was awake when Yan Xia got up from his shoulder.

He then took out a food box from beside him, opened it and found two steamed buns, a bowl of lean meat porridge, and two small dishes. After the carriage was covered with a curtain, it was airtight, and the food box had a short-term heat preservation effect.

So breakfast is still warm.

Yan Xia was indeed hungry.

She ate two steamed buns first, then slurped down the porridge, and finished off all the side dishes.

It seems that food tastes much better when eaten in the car than usual.

That's really strange.

This idea stopped at noon, because the carriage didn't stop except when people went to the toilet, and the roads in ancient times weren't paved with cement.

It's full of potholes.

Yan Xia felt like her butt was going to go numb from all the bouncing.

At noon, Yuanshan was eating a sesame seed cake while driving; he had bought it the night before when he passed by the street.

Once the sesame seed cake cools down, it becomes like the sole of a leather shoe.

I took a bite, and it almost knocked my teeth out.

Yan Xia tried one bite and then refused to eat any more.

Jin Yu wasn't picky; he ate the same things as Yuan Shan.

Only Yan Xia ate the pastries and fruits.

In the evening, the three arrived at Shuangqiao Town.

After seeing Yan Xia and Jin Yu off at the shop entrance, Wang Yuanshan said goodbye and headed towards Baihua Village.

I left about half an hour late this morning, so it will probably be dark by the time I get to the village.

But his mother must be waiting for him to eat.

He needs to hurry.

"Mom~ Why are you only coming back now? Didn't you say you'd be back yesterday?"

Upon hearing Yan Xia's voice, La Mei rushed out of the backyard and hugged Yan Xia's arm affectionately.

Guihua and Xiaoji followed them out.

Xiaohe's belly is already quite big, including her two sons and daughters-in-law.

Walking looked a bit difficult for him.

Fortunately, Jin Fu helped her up; the couple were very loving.

"There's been so much going on over there. Mother bought a house there, so I'm back a bit late. Let me introduce you. This is the helper Mother hired. Tell everyone he's Mother's distant cousin. His name is Jinyu, the same surname as Mother. We'll change his given name tomorrow. Jinyu, and these are my children..."

After introducing themselves to each other, the family had a hot pot meal.

We welcome you with utmost care.

He slept in a room alone in the backyard of the restaurant that night.

After a long day of travel, Yan Xia's buttocks were aching, her back was sore, and both her feet were swollen. Xiao Ji brought her a basin of water for a foot bath with some medicinal herbs in it, and she soaked her feet in it.

Yan Xia let out a comfortable sigh of relief.

Xiao Ji squatted down and massaged her feet.

It felt so good.

After soaking her feet, Yan Xia wanted to take a shower, but because she was too tired, she simply lay down on the bed.

Xiao Ji started massaging her again.

As she pressed, Yan Xia's breathing gradually became heavier.

Xiao Ji helped her cover herself with the blanket.

The candle was blown out.

Yan Xia slept until the morning, and when she woke up, the backyard was already bustling with activity.

Guihua and Lamei, along with the newly arrived maid, were making pastries. Xiaoji helped carry the baked pastries to the front of the shop, while the three nannies were cleaning, washing clothes, and preparing vegetables.

There's still a little over an hour before lunch.

Yan Xia skipped breakfast and just ate a piece of peach shortbread and drank a cup of milk to fill her stomach.

Then, carrying the local specialties he brought back from Jiangnan County, he led Jinyu to the county government office.

Because they were acquaintances, the officials let Yan Xia in as soon as they saw her.

"Aunt Yan, you're back! How's business in Jiangnan County?"

Upon seeing Yan Xia, Zuo Li immediately stood up from his chair, his serious expression softening.

"Not bad. I just got back yesterday. Here, I brought you a bag of local specialties from Jiangnan County."

"This is?"

Zuo Li took the paper bag.

It is not open.

"These pastries are made from fox nuts. Isn't this the kind of fruit produced in Jiangnan County? I've heard that fox nuts can also be used in medicine and are known as 'water ginseng.' Women who eat them can not only nourish and beautify their skin, but also strengthen their essence. Most importantly, they can remove dampness. I remember you told me before that your mother often feels dizzy and lacks energy, and that she has a lot of dampness in her body. Well, I happened to come across some, so I bought some for your mother. They taste pretty good, and I'm sure your mother will like them."

When you need someone to do something for you, you must be courteous.

It was obvious that Yan Xia's gift had pleased Zuo Li.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Zuo Li's smile became even more genuine.

"No need, no need. I came here specifically to ask you for a favor. I know you're very discreet, but we're all family, so I'm not afraid to tell you. When I was having dinner with the manager of the Jiangnan branch, I met this young master. He was trafficked to a brothel. Seeing that he was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable about business, I decided to redeem him and thought he could help me with some things. However, although I got the indenture, I forgot to transfer his household registration. I don't want him to be a servant. What do you think I should do?"

Logically speaking, even if she obtained the indenture, she should have gone to the government office in Jiangnan County to transfer her household registration.

Otherwise, he would still be considered a lowly person.

However, the government officials in Jiangnan County were corrupt.

Yan Xia thought to herself, "Why don't I just go back to Shuangqiao Town and find Zuo Li?"

So as not to let Magistrate Xu's subordinates discover Jin Yu's true identity.

She can't do anything risky.

“That’s simple. You can go directly to the Jiangnan County government to transfer his household registration to ours. As for the lowly status, it’s fine as long as he’s not registered as a slave. But Aunt Yan, you’ve just come back, and going there again would be too much trouble. If you ask me, it would be better to change his identity, which would save you this step. Moreover, with a new identity, they won’t be able to find out that he was ever sold into a brothel.”

Zuo Li thought about things even more than Yan Xia did.

This man, working in a brothel, still managed to catch Aunt Yan's eye and have her redeem him, which shows he's very capable. And with Aunt Yan's shops opening more and more, he'll soon become a major taxpayer in Shuangqiao Town. Ah, the more capable and outstanding a person is, the more enemies they'll make.

This man's identity is a mistake. If he becomes Aunt Yan's right-hand man, he might become a point of attack for others against her. He is handsome, and what if others slander him and Aunt Yan as having an improper relationship? Aunt Yan is a kind person and always thinks of him.

It's just a change of identity; he can handle this small matter.

"Oh dear, I hope I'm not making things difficult for you? I don't want to trouble you."

"It's nothing, Aunt Yan, it's just a small favor. The master has taken a liking to me now, so changing his identity is a piece of cake. I'll go and help you choose one right away, and I'll definitely find him a good one."

Zuo Li is an impatient person.

After saying that, he went to look through the household registration book.

Noon.

Wang Dagen disappeared from the world, and Yan Jinyu took his place.
