Min Jia used all his strength and finally squeezed out a word, "Ah".
Zhao Xingchen was also helping Min Jia along with Xu Lanting. He pushed harder and harder, finally releasing a fart—a particularly loud one. He was extremely embarrassed, his belly puffing out, his chubby hands covering his butt, and he laughed awkwardly.
Everyone started laughing, and Min Jia and Xu Lanting laughed even harder.
Min Jia uttered another word, "fart".
Mother Liu blushed and said angrily, "Sister, you can't say this word." After she finished speaking, she said happily, "Oh, sister can say the word 'fart' now."
Although the word is not elegant, the little girl has really made great progress.
Xu Lanyin picked up Min Jia and said with a smile, "Jia'er is right, Little Star just farted."
Mother Liu and several maids blushed, and Butler Hao and several other men also smiled with their heads down.
Min Jia pointed at the red silk and exclaimed "Ah" again.
Xu Lanting read it aloud for her, "Xu's tribute tea, golden imperial leaves, its essence, royal aura, bathes the world." After he finished, he gave a thumbs-up and said, "Good, domineering."
This is the advertising slogan written by Xu Lan for Xu’s Tea Shop.
A while ago, Hu Wan's father-in-law saw the advertising slogan for Xu's pastries and liked it very much. He asked Hu Wan to ask Xu Lanyin to write one for Xu's Tea Shop. Xu Lanyin thought for a long time and wrote these two sentences based on the advertising slogan of her previous life.
After she finished writing, she taught a few children to read it several times. Although Min Jia didn't say anything, her mouth kept moving.
After listening to Xu Lanting finish reading, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Phew, finally no need to worry.
Everyone went into the mall again.
The inside of the mall has been completely renovated. Many people are moving goods in. Li and others are also packing up the supplies and tables and chairs for making pastries. There are also many people who come to watch the fun, so it is very noisy.
The little girl from Fujian was precious, and Xu Lanyin didn't want them to stay here for long, so she looked around on the first floor and walked out.
Hu Wan had already seen them. He walked out and said with a smile, "Even if Miss Xu didn't come, I would have gone to look for you." He handed Xu Lanyin a silver note worth two hundred taels and said with a smile, "This is what my father-in-law gave you. He said he liked those two sentences very much and that he had written a letter to the head of the Xu family, suggesting that these two sentences be written on the outer packaging of Xu's tea in the future."
Xu Lanyin smiled with her eyes curved. She didn't expect that she could earn two hundred taels of silver by helping out. Does she need to set up an advertising company in the future?
She smiled and said, "Boss Hu is capable. This place is great, even better than I imagined." She added, "Just as important as business is fire prevention. It's cold now, and we have a floor heater on the first floor, but we have to use charcoal braziers on the second and third floors. We also have to light lamps because the light is not good..."
Preventing fire is something Xu Lanyin has emphasized many times.
Hu Wan said solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss Xu. I also attach great importance to fire prevention measures..." He then smiled and said, "We will open on the sixth day of the New Year. I hope Miss Xu can come and support us."
Xu Lanyin said, "We are in a hurry to go home. My mother is very anxious, so we won't come to congratulate you that day."
Qin was already very anxious. As soon as the Fujian residents came back, they had to set off for their hometown the next day.
Xu Lanyin asked someone to buy a few strings of candied haws and bought an extra one for Min Jia as a reward for her great progress.
Zhao Xingchen said, "Because my fart helped Sister Jia make progress, I should be rewarded."
This made everyone laugh again. The child was really trying his best to eat one more string of candied haws.
Xu Lanyin smiled and said, "That's right, buy another one."
Xu Lanting did not boast about his achievements. He felt that eating less would make Jiajia feel that she was making progress, so it was worth it for him to eat less.
Afterwards, they went to Xinyu Teahouse.
The moment you enter the teahouse, you're instantly immersed in a tranquil atmosphere, like stepping into another world. Unlike other teahouses, or even any other residential shops, the teahouse boasts not only exquisitely carved railings and painted buildings, but also uniquely shaped and varied roofs and walls, and a multitude of both real and fake green plants, creating a unique and refreshing atmosphere.
Xu Lanting said, "It's so unique, different from other places. Sister is really capable."
Zhao Xingchen also said, "Yeah, it looks good."
Min Jia nodded his head vigorously.
The three children loved it very much. They thought that their sister's (aunt's and aunt's) teahouse was theirs, and their teahouse was better than any other teahouse.
Xu Lanyin asked Liu Mama and others to take the children to play in the backyard room, but the children refused to go and followed Xu Lanyin up and down the stairs.
Afterwards, they went to a private room on the third floor to drink tea. Xu Lanyin expressed her satisfaction and gave some suggestions to Shopkeeper Wu. She also took out two taels of silver to buy more food for the craftsmen.
Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen also seriously put forward two suggestions of their own, and Manager Wu humbly said that he would make improvements immediately.
Min Jia also wanted to say something, but her face turned red and she didn't say anything.
Xu Lanyin was very satisfied with the little girl's performance. She wanted to talk and express herself, which was a good sign.
Seeing Min Jia like this, Zhao Xingchen stood up and lifted his butt again, hoping to fart and make Sister Jia say a word. But this time, after lifting his butt for a long time, he couldn't fart.
Xu Lanyin knew his good intentions, so she smiled and patted his little butt.
At 3 p.m., the group left the teahouse. As they boarded the carriage, Xu Lanyin spotted Qin Ru and Qin Hongyu standing in front of the department store, watching the excitement. Next to them stood a young man, not Zhu Zhuang. Even from a distance, one could tell he was a handsome young man, tall and thin, half a head taller than Qin Ru.
When Xu Lanyin was wondering whether she should go over and greet them, Mother Liu whispered, "That's the Second Young Master Tang. I heard he loves to get close to pretty girls..."
After hearing this, Xu Lanyin got on the carriage.
Suddenly, she remembered Gui Fu's wife's thoughts: a young man named Tang Something De wanted to steal Qin Hongyu. She asked, "What's the name of that second young man Tang?"
Madam Liu said, "His name is Tang Jide, the second son of Lord Tang, the Left Councillor. He seems to be a well-behaved person now, but I heard that a few years ago he loved to fight and cause trouble, and he teased young ladies, and was often beaten by Lord Tang so badly that he couldn't get out of bed..."
Xu Lanyin's heart skipped a beat, because Gui Fu's wife was thinking of the name Tang Jide.
Gui Fu was considered one of Min Hu's trusted lieutenants. It was Gui Fu who led the team that night at the Longxing Inn, a testament to how much Min Hu valued him. Furthermore, Gui Fu had a close relationship with Zhao Wu; it was he who helped bring back Little Star.
His wife knew that Tang Jide had a crush on Qin Hongyu and wanted to ruin her marriage, which shows that they are very close to the Tang family. His wife also said that they should maintain a good relationship to help her husband get promoted...
Xu Lanyin closed his eyes, pondering the connection. Was it a coincidence, or was Gui Fu someone Tang Moshan had planted in Minhu? Regardless, he'd rather believe it, and Gui Fu had to be on guard...
She wasn't worried about Qin Hongyu anymore. Qin Che and Min Hu had solved that big case together, so they must have known that Tang Moshan was behind Huang He and would not give their daughter to his son.
