It is no exaggeration to say that the horses pulling the carts are of the same level as the horses ridden by Li Gan's men.
Xia Daohua narrowed her eyes and looked carefully, and found that those carriages with sedans also had hidden secrets.
The width and height of each vehicle are just within the acceptable range.
The carriage itself also moved very smoothly.
When they stopped, a beautiful woman surrounded by pearls and emeralds got off the first car.
With a slim waist, graceful demeanor, bright eyes, white teeth, and creamy skin, even a thick veil couldn't hide her beauty and grace. No matter how you look at her, she looks like the aristocratic lady from a costume idol drama, a true protagonist.
However, Xia Daohua noticed that she jumped off the carriage very lightly, without stepping on the footstool, and got down easily, with very graceful and beautiful movements.
Could it be that this young lady has practiced it?
In the carriage at the back were two half-grown children, one about eight or nine years old, the other six or seven years old. Both were girls, wearing small, delicate veils, and their movements were light and graceful.
A tall man in the uniform of a county magistrate walked over quickly. He first said something to the beautiful woman with a smile, then walked quickly to the two children, picked up the smaller one in one hand, held the older one with the other hand, and turned around and walked towards the woman.
A family of four walked calmly into the county magistrate's residence behind the county government office.
A large group of maids, servants, and other female servants followed behind them, but they did not dare to follow too closely.
The servants and maids who got on and off the carriage at the back were busy, some driving the carriage, some moving things, but everyone was doing their job and the place was busy but not chaotic.
Xia Daohua observed for a while, until the new county magistrate's house closed the door and she could no longer see anything, then she put down the tea in her hand with a sense of reluctance.
After calling the talkative waiter over to collect the money, Xia Daohua slowly strolled away.
She planned to go to the pawnshop first and say hello to the dentists she knew there. If the owner of this store officially listed the business at the pawnshop, she could act quickly and buy the store.
Xia Daohua was even a little happy. She never expected that while watching the fun, she would also see a store that she liked and met her requirements.
It seems that I have been lucky recently!
She happily replied to Daohuaxiang, closed the door of the rest area at the back, took out her laptop, and checked the business performance of the store while she was away.
After watching several video records recorded from different angles, Xia Daohua put away his laptop, stood up and went to the outer room to ask his men how business was going today.
The young men are all very honest. I don’t know if it’s because of their special background, but these kids have really good character.
Xia Daohua smiled with satisfaction, and her eyes looked more and more "loving" when she looked at the young boys.
Seeing Xia Daohua's look, the young men all felt a little uneasy. Why was the boss looking at them so strangely? Did I just say something wrong?
Xia Daohua's good mood lasted less than three days before she was dealt a blow. This blow came from the newly appointed county magistrate and his wife, Wang.
The new county magistrate's surname was Yang, and his wife's surname was Wang. Both of them came from prominent families.
I heard that these two families have been around for more than a thousand years. Even the royal family members of the Great Chu Dynasty had to give them some face when they met their patriarchs and direct descendants.
The county magistrate and his wife both liked to be particular about appearances. When it came to food, clothing, housing and transportation, they liked to use the best, most exquisite, most novel and most high-end things.
These are actually good things.
Because of the hobbies and tastes of the new county magistrate and his wife, their family manager has come to "Daohuaxiang" to buy items.
Their people bought several copies of almost every item in the store.
This business was the largest business that "Daohuaxiang" had obtained after Xia Daohua launched colorful wind chimes and several new flavors of rice dumplings before the Dragon Boat Festival, which really made Xia Daohua earn a lot of money.
However, the blow that Xia Daohua suffered was brought about by this couple.
This wealthy couple bought the teahouse that Xia Daohua had taken a fancy to without saying a word.
The owner of the teahouse originally planned to wait and see what kind of person the new county magistrate was before making a decision. If the new county magistrate was a good official, he would still like to continue running the business.
However, the new county magistrate took a fancy to his teahouse and offered to pay a price 10% higher than the market price.
The owner is embarrassed not to sell, but the most important thing is that he doesn't dare...
Thinking that he was not young anymore, he politely handed over the teahouse procedures to the county magistrate's manager, quietly packed his bags, and returned home with his money.
Xia Daohua didn't know about this at first. When she was strolling near the teahouse, she looked up and found that the sign had been changed. The original sign was gone, and it had become "Yang's Teahouse".
After further inquiries, I found out that it had been bought by the decisive and resolute county magistrate and his wife!
Normally, a county magistrate is not allowed to engage in business...
But the county magistrate’s wife can manage her own dowry!
The county magistrate's wife wants to call the teahouse Yang's, and no one can interfere!
Xia Daohua found the talkative young man.
When the young waiter met Xia Daohua, he happily told her how kind and righteous the new owner was - it was because the new county magistrate and his wife were very wealthy, and not only did they keep most of the original staff of the teahouse, they also gave everyone a raise!
This teahouse was never listed in the pawnshop and was sold directly.
Xia Daohua's original plan failed, so she naturally felt a little disappointed.
You are from a wealthy family, and I don't envy you.
You are the protagonist, and I am not jealous.
But are you so rich that you just buy things without saying anything?
Before I had the chance to bargain, you opened your mouth and directly raised the price by 10% above the market price!
This life is unbearable! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
The little storm man in Xia Daohua's heart has been spinning around for more than three hundred times, but still can't suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Fortunately, Xia Daohua is the type of person who won't let herself be sad for too long.
No matter it is sadness, troubles, loss or frustration, summer rice flowers can make it look cool for no more than three seconds.
After angrily emptying a box of Haagen-Dazs, Xia Daohua's mood had calmed down a lot.
So, the little girl began to be optimistic again:
It seems that the new county magistrate and his wife are quite kind in their style of doing things.
People like this might be able to cooperate in the future.
However, we can't jump to conclusions and need to observe further. At least we need to get close to them a few times and have serious dealings with them a few times before we can have a deeper understanding of this couple.
The opportunity that Xia Daohua had been waiting for soon came.
------Digression------
Painfully adjusting my work and rest schedule...
