Chapter 067 The Surprise Comes Too Suddenly

"You clever little thing." Meng Xuanlang pinched his small, straight nose and said, "Close the window quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

After Xie Jian and Meng Xuan left the academy, Chen Heng also went out.

Along the way, many houses were being repaired and patched up. Some people delivered wood, some handed over tiles, and they were all chatting and laughing, looking very harmonious.

"Chen Heng, our shoulder pole is broken. Please bring some to us this afternoon." A clan member shouted when he saw Chen Heng passing by.

"Okay." Chen Heng responded, "Please help me introduce business to my friends and family."

"That's a must."

This is something Chen Heng says almost every day. It seems that the relationship between relatives and friends is being repaired.

But people’s hearts are hidden.

When we entered the store, one of the supervisors had already arrived, but the other supervisor, Liu Gang, had not yet come. In the past, this young man always came the earliest and was the most diligent, whether he was working or delivering goods.

"Boss, Liugang's home is on the mountain. It's snowing now. I guess it's because the snow is too heavy and he can't get out." said the eldest son.

"It's just a little snow." Chen Heng looked at the snow. There was still some snow on the roof, but it had melted on the ground long ago.

"Their home is on the top of Boyun Mountain, which is high up. If it gets a little cold here, there's heavy snow there, not to mention this cold weather."

Bo Yun Mountain? The village where Liu Gang lived was actually on Bo Yun Mountain. This mountain was a nightmare for Chen Heng. He touched his neck, where he had been strangled before. "Then you should be more tired today. Deliver these dozen orders."

"A few more orders will be fine." Chang Ye was very happy. This grocery store was called a grocery store, but there wasn't much in it. There were only a few orders a day. He could handle it all by himself. If it wasn't for the New Year approaching, he wouldn't have worked here as a clerk.

The business of Beimen is centered on the Xie family. Every family is related to her. Even if she goes to introduce herself, as long as she hears that someone knows someone else, the business will basically be done.

Although the Great Cong Dynasty is no longer an era of drawing lines to confine oneself, the common people's ideas are mostly simple. As long as you go to someone's house and say a few more words, once the feeling of intimacy comes out, they will easily speak their mind.

Just as Shen Heng entered the main street and was about to stroll around, she saw Lu Ji'an and an old man in his early teens dressed in brocade clothes coming out of a teahouse, with Gu Feng and Yu Wei following behind. Gu Feng quickly held an umbrella for Lu Ji'an, while his attendant held an umbrella for the old man.

Dressed in a plain green shirt, her slender figure looked even more gentle and elegant against the white snow. Shen Heng smiled and greeted him: "My Lord, I greet you."

"It's Madam Shen." Lu Ji'an said to the old man, "Uncle, this is Madam Xie Jian."

"Oh?" Although the old man's hair was half white, he was in good spirits and was particularly amiable when he smiled: "It's snowing, are you out shopping?" This woman was praised by Ji An, and it was the first time he heard him praise a woman. It was really rare.

Shen Heng didn't expect the old man to ask her, "Where is my grocery store?" He pointed to a small shop at the back of the street.

The old man suddenly laughed: "Delivery to your door, right?"

"Did the Lord mention this to you?" Chen Heng was curious. Would Lord Lu mention this little thing to the old man in front of him?

The old man nodded and said: "You are a smart girl, but the profit of doing business like this is small. How long will it take?" As he said this, he winked at the attendant beside him.

The attendant took out a wooden plaque from his arms and handed it to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng took it and looked at it. There were two words written on the wooden sign: Jingxiang. Jingxiang? Isn't that the largest business in Nanming County?

There was a character for "Meng" written on the back of the wooden sign. "Meng?" He then realized that he was the grandfather of Meng Xuanlang, the censor representative.
