——Just after entering the provincial capital, she has already thought about going to Beijing. I have to say that Su Xiaoxiao is really bold.
Su Ergou, who was standing by, suddenly shouted, "Sister! Fire! Such a big fire!"
Shopkeeper Sun was startled, took a look, felt relieved, and said to the brother and sister with a smile: "It's a circus troupe. We have one in our town."
Su Ergou said, "No one in town can be this powerful? Wow! It's breathing fire again!"
The pedestrians on the roadside were startled by his voice and turned their heads to see where this idiot came from.
Su Ergou met several malicious looks and said fiercely: "What are you looking at!"
Everyone twitched their lips and walked away.
"Sister, I want to sit outside!" said Su Ergou.
"Go ahead." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou lifted the curtain and sat down next to Xiao Wu.
"Where do we live?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Shopkeeper Sun said, "There is a Yuelai Inn near Wang's house. Let's stay there."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How long will it take to get there?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked outside and said, "Walk along this street, turn right, and go through an alley. It will take about a quarter of an hour."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, "What kind of family is the Wang family?"
Shopkeeper Sun said, "They started out by selling tea, and later on they started the silk business. Now the largest cloth shops and dyeing factories in the city are all owned by the Wang family. I heard they are planning to open a cloth shop in the provincial capital. The lady Wang who invited us to prepare snacks for the first birthday banquet is the wife of the third room. She is very kind and the price she offered is also reasonable."
"The one-year-old celebration banquet is tomorrow?"
"yes."
Su Xiaoxiao wondered, "In such a hurry...didn't they prepare a cook?"
Shopkeeper Sun smiled, "Didn't she taste your dessert and liked it so much that she decided to ask you to make it? She heard that Old Lady Qi offered thirty taels at first, so she didn't plan to go over Old Lady Qi's offer. I told her that you are a girl and don't travel far easily, and besides, the business in town is too busy. In the end, we negotiated the price to forty taels, and five taels for the travel fee. This price is considered high in the city, after all, we only do it for one day."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Shopkeeper Sun's business ability is impeccable.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Let's follow what we agreed at the beginning. I'll give you 20% of the profit, and the food and travel expenses will be mine."
Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, "Okay."
This price is not too fair. If he were in his prime, he would not easily let anyone take away even 40% of the profit, let alone 20%.
But things are different now. He was kicked out by Jinji, which slandered him everywhere. His value plummeted and no shop dared to hire him anymore.
He was desperate.
In addition, at this critical juncture, Miss Su was willing to put aside past grudges and hire him, which was like timely help.
The carriage soon arrived at the inn.
Su Ergou smacked his lips with satisfaction.
"Haven't you seen enough?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yeah." Su Ergou nodded honestly.
Children are really energetic. After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, she was almost exhausted, but Su Ergou was still full of energy.
Su Xiaoxiao yawned and said, "I'm tired today. After I finish my business tomorrow, I'll go for a walk on the street with you in the evening."
Su Ergou opened his eyes wide: "Can I?"
Not just to look around? But to walk around? "Well, if you behave yourself tonight and don't make trouble, I'll take you there tomorrow." Su Xiaoxiao yawned again. She was really sleepy.
"Okay!"
Su Ergou jumped off the carriage and said, "Manager Sun! Come on! I want to sleep!"
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Sun got off the carriage with a smile.
People's emotions are contagious. At first, he didn't understand why Miss Su brought her brother with her. He thought maybe she wanted her brother to go out and see the world.
Now he seemed to understand that this brother was actually very refreshing! Shopkeeper Sun went to Yuelai Inn to book a room.
Su Xiaoxiao had a room of her own, he and Su Ergou had a room, and Xiao Wu had a room.
"I want to live with Xiao Wu." said Su Ergou.
Xiao Wu is only a few years older than Su Ergou, and there is no generation gap between them. Shopkeeper Sun is a bit mature, and Su Ergou can't get along with him.
Su Xiaoxiao was no longer yawning at this moment. Instead, she stood in front of the counter, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and was about to fall asleep.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Sun said to Su Ergou.
He paid the rent and deposit, "Let's go up."
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and walked forward in a daze.
Shopkeeper Sun went up a few steps and turned around: "Miss Su! You're going the wrong way!"
Su Xiaoxiao had already reached the door, but she tripped and hit her head on it.
Huh? It doesn't hurt.
Su Xiaoxiao opened one eyelid——
Too sleepy to open the other one.
A handsome young face with a hint of coldness came into view.
It looks really good.
"Jingyi?"
Su Xiaoxiao recognized the other person.
Jingyi's hand was firmly on the door frame, and the collision she had just made had hit the back of Jingyi's hand.
No wonder it doesn’t hurt.
The young man was wearing a black brocade robe and a dark fox fur cloak. His face was a little childish, but his eyes were full of intimidating heroism.
This is a look that is almost comparable to Wei Ting's.
He looked tired and seemed to be in a hurry.
Shopkeeper Sun had met Jing Yi once, but his attention was all on Su Xiaoxiao at the moment and he didn't recognize Jing Yi.
He hurried to Su Xiaoxiao's side, pulled Su Xiaoxiao behind him, and said to the young man who looked extremely noble: "I'm sorry, sir, my niece didn't mean to offend me, please forgive me!"
After saying that, he bowed to Jingyi and pulled Su Xiaoxiao, who was about to fall asleep, upstairs.
"Young Marquis!" Bai Ze came over. "What happened? Why did you get off the carriage suddenly?"
"It's okay." Jing Yi looked at the figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, took back the back of his hand, and rubbed it gently with his fingertips.
"It's time for us to go." Bai Ze reminded.
They have an important mission to accomplish and should not be delayed.
Jingyi didn't move.
He kept hearing the door closing upstairs and the noise of someone banging on the bed, and then he left with a murderous look and calmness that was not appropriate for a young man.
…
Su Xiaoxiao slept until five in the morning and it was time to get up and do business.
She touched her forehead.
It seems Jingyi came here yesterday.
Su Ergou was going to the city for the first time and was a little too excited. He talked to Xiao Wu until half the night, and when they were woken up by Manager Sun, they both had huge dark circles under their eyes.
If you don’t know, you might think they did something bad last night.
When Manager Sun went to call Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao was already dressed and washed.
"Well……"
You fall asleep so quickly and wake up so early.
"Just make do with the breakfast." Shopkeeper Sun handed the steamed buns he bought from outside to Su Xiaoxiao.
"The inn has steamed buns?" Su Xiaoxiao took one and took a bite. "Uh... not very tasty."
Shopkeeper Sun said, "No, the breakfast in the inn is expensive, so I bought the steamed buns outside."
The owner of Jinji has never gone out in such a shabby manner.
