When Tian heard Xiaoyu calling Jian Ning the fourth sister-in-law, she slapped her thighs with both hands and said, "Oh, the generations are messed up. Why didn't I think of this earlier?"

The day before yesterday, Jian Ning had asked the sixth son to go and greet Tian. She'd mentioned her aunt to him at the time, having already considered this. Mixing up generations was inevitable in ancient times. Even in her own time and space, she knew of cases in the 1940s and 1950s where mothers and daughters were pregnant at the same time.

The younger one has a higher seniority!

Such things are not uncommon, and were even more common in ancient times.

Isn't it? Tian's mother gouged her eyes at her daughter with a smile, "What's the fuss? Just because Bi Yu'er and my sister-in-law are sisters-in-law, does that mean she is your equal? ​​She used to call you aunt, and from now on, not only she has to call you aunt, but our bride-in-law has to call you aunt too."

Tian slapped her forehead and said, "I thought so. When Lao Liu came to talk to me that day, he was hesitant and hesitant. It seems that he didn't know whether to call me 'Aunt' or 'Sister' like before. That boy, when he was little, he couldn't walk steadily. His fourth sister-in-law held him by the hand. Every time he saw me, he would call me 'Sister Tian'. His little mouth was so sweet."

"From now on, you have to call me 'Auntie' when you see me!"

After Tian finished speaking, she laughed, and everyone in the room laughed along. At this time, someone came in looking for Tian Erge. It was a neighbor across the street.

The Tian family are all down-to-earth people who don't like to argue with others. Although they have not been in the county for a long time, they have good relationships with their neighbors and are very popular.

Jian Ning had asked Ma Fuquan to help keep an eye out for houses in the county, preferably ones like Old Qin's in town, suitable for both commercial and residential use. Ma Fuquan had also informed his three older brothers-in-law, and within half a day of spreading the word, someone arrived to deliver the message.

Tian hurriedly asked her sister-in-law to open the wedding gifts sent by Jian Ning and give them to the neighbor who delivered the message. Jian Ning did not delay and went to the inn with Tian and the neighbor who delivered the message.

The innkeepers were a middle-aged couple, both of whom appeared to be quite shrewd. Jian Ning also found the inn's location ideal. While Jin County wasn't particularly large, it was a major transportation hub, with many merchants traveling north and south. Plus, the students who came to the county every year for the Tongshi exam needed to stay overnight, so business was expected to be good.

I just don't know why it was transferred. It looks like it was renovated not long ago, and the inn covers a large area. In the front is a counter for eating, with about ten tables and long benches. Behind the side door is a small courtyard used as a kitchen with two large stoves for boiling hot water for guests to wash.

There are five or six upper rooms in the front of the inn, and the backyard is a different world. On both sides are two-story guest rooms, and on the back side there are also two upper and lower guest rooms. There is an arched gate in the middle, and behind the gate is the living area.

Jian Ning and Tian went into the residence and took a look. It was a quiet place in the bustling city. It was a two-story building with a total of six rooms for living. In addition to a well, there was also a door. The shopkeeper said that there was another street outside.

Dabao and Ma Xiaomi came to the county to study. They could usually enter and exit through the side door, never having to go through the front door. The houses in the back had also been renovated, and you could still smell the faint scent of tung oil.

After looking around, Jian Ning was quite satisfied, but her brows were slightly furrowed. The shopkeeper thought she was dissatisfied and said hurriedly, "I heard that your family has two sons who are going to study in the county school, and this place is close to the school."

The shopkeeper opened the door and said, "Go down this street to the end of the alley, turn left, and walk about a hundred meters to Zhishu Academy."

Jian Ning and Tian followed her out. This street was clean and quiet, which made her feel even more satisfied. She still had no extra expression on her face. Just as she was about to turn back in, the door next door creaked open. A man came out from behind the door, saw Jian Ning, and called out, "Madam Jian?"

"Brother Chen?" Jian Ning recognized the man greeting her. He was the father of Chen Qinian, the boy Feng Qingzi and the others had taken to the secret room. "Does your family live here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, come inside and have a drink of water, Nian's mother, come out quickly, Jane..."

"No need." Jian Ning waved her hand quickly. "Let's meet again. I won't bother you today. How is Qi Nian?"

"Okay, okay, he went to school. Thanks to Madam Jian's amazing healing skills, he's back to health. If it weren't for you and Captain Ma, who knows what would have happened to him right now."

"I'm a doctor. It's my duty to practice medicine and treat illnesses. I'll come back to bother you again when I come to the county."

"Okay, you're busy. Remember to come to my house and visit me next time."

Chen's mother also came out and thanked Jian Ning profusely and exchanged a few pleasantries. As Jian Ning and the store owner were about to go into the backyard of the inn, Chen's father quietly pulled Jian Ning's sleeve.

Jane Ning turned her head and Father Chen gave her a wink. Although she didn't understand what he meant, Jane Ning still nodded to indicate that she received his hint.

"I didn't expect you were a female doctor." After entering the courtyard, the shopkeeper first showered her with compliments before adding, "To be honest, I really didn't want to sell this place, but my brother-in-law has made a fortune in Tongzhou and has repeatedly urged my wife and I to join him and expand the business. I've had no choice but to sell it."

"Yes, this place has a great location and a lot of people come and go." The proprietress also said, "During the last time when the children's exam was held, many people came to stay with their families. We were so busy that we had to run around. If you take this place, you will definitely make a lot of money. It's worth it!"

The two of them spoke in unison, talking in an exaggerated manner. Jane Ning just smiled and did not respond. It was almost dinner time, and if business was as good as they said, there would not be a single diners in sight.

Thinking about the look on Chen's father's face just now, Jian Ning became even more confused. He was afraid that there was some hidden story behind this inn, which led to the slow business. That was why the owner was in a hurry to transfer it. It was not that they were going to Tongzhou to do other money-making business as they said.

Who would give up a ready-made business and travel far away to do something else, especially since this inn has been renovated inside and out.
