Shen Chuan said: "You are a very busy man now! Your business is getting bigger and bigger. If you become rich, don't forget me!"

"Thanks to you." Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, thinking of something, she asked, "Didn't you say you were going to the capital city to study last year? When are you leaving?"

Shen Chuan sighed: "Tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxiao took in his expression and asked, "You don't seem to want to go."

Shen Chuan shook his fan helplessly: "It doesn't matter where you study. My father taught me well."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Dean Shen probably hopes that you can go out and gain some experience to broaden your horizons."

Shen Chuan folded his fan and said, "What you said makes sense. If I think about it this way, I am not so opposed to going to the capital city! Besides, the capital city is not far away. I can get there in one day if I gallop. I can be back in ten days."

Su Xiaoxiao always heard people in the village say that the capital city was very far away, and it would take ten days or half a month to walk there, but it turned out that it only took one day by horse carriage.

This is probably the difference in resources between the chosen ones and ordinary people.

Shen Chuan patted his folding fan and said, "It's such a pity that I didn't get to eat the snacks you made!"

He could actually get a seat, but after hesitating for a while, he gave it to the customer behind him, and he did this several times.

He hopes that her business will grow better and better and that her dim sum can be enjoyed by more customers.

But now he regretted it.

If he had known earlier... he would have allowed one less guest.

"Here." Su Xiaoxiao took out a bag of snacks from the basket like a magic trick.

"Didn't you sell out?" Shen Chuan asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's sold out, but this one is not for sale. It's a gift for my friend."

This little girl always gives people surprises.

Shen Chuan happily took the snack and looked at Su Xiaoxiao several times.

Just now, Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by people and he couldn't see her clearly. Now that the distance was closer, he realized that Miss Su seemed different from years ago.

It’s become...more beautiful.

What a sin! How could he, a scholar, comment on a girl's appearance in his heart? It was very rude!

Shen Chuan came today mainly to say goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao. He had originally planned to go to her house, but when he thought that she was married, he was worried that his frequent visits would cause many misunderstandings.

How did she get married? "I almost forgot while talking to you. Master Xiang asked me to ask you, he has finished taking his medicine. Does he need to continue taking it? If you are free, can you go to the academy to see him again?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."

Shen Chuan still had to say goodbye to other classmates, so he left first.

Liu Ping led the donkey over and closed the stall with the siblings.

Suddenly, a waiter from Jinji came over with a sullen face.

He said coldly: "You are not allowed to sell snacks here anymore!"

"Why?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

He pointed down at his feet with his nose pointed up to the sky: "This is Jinji's territory! Jinji has the final say!"

Su Ergou said: "We don't sell it in front of Jinji!"

The waiter threatened: "Not even on the side! Otherwise, Jinji will chase you away every time we see you!"

Su Ergou put the unfinished biscuit back into the paper bag, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his bully nature: "Who are you chasing after? Say it again if you dare!"

"Ergou, come back." Su Xiaoxiao called Su Ergou.

Su Ergou gritted his teeth, glared at the Jinji guy, and returned to Su Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that the two men did not fight him, the clerk thought that they were afraid. He sneered and said, "Take care of yourselves! Don't let me see you again!"

Su Ergou said depressedly: "Sister! Why don't you let me beat him! Even if there are seven or eight of them like last time, I won't lose!"

He learned a few tricks from his brother-in-law! Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's not necessary."

Liu Ping advised: "Yes, he is just an errand boy. Beating him up will not help."

Su Ergou said angrily: "Then I will go beat up Shopkeeper Sun!"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It wasn't Shopkeeper Sun who did it. Shopkeeper Sun left, and the new shopkeeper's surname is He. The clerk just now must have been brought here by him. He looks very unfamiliar."

Su Ergou muttered, "What's going on at Jinji? Why did they suddenly change the shopkeeper? The new guy is even worse than Shopkeeper Sun!"

At least Shopkeeper Sun never chased them away. That doesn't mean he was a kind person. When he forced them to sell the recipe, he used some dishonorable means.

However, the new shopkeeper He is more arrogant and unscrupulous than shopkeeper Sun, and he doesn't take the street vendors seriously.

The incident of rescuing the choking child had long been forgotten, and few people mention it now. Even if Jin Ji really drove her, the "great hero", she would not be subjected to too much abuse.

It is said that the business world is like a battlefield, and competition is a life-and-death struggle. What's more, a new official has three major things to do when he takes office, and Manager He will not follow Manager Sun's rules.

He wants to make his own rules.

Liu Ping sighed secretly. He was just marveling at how well Daya was doing in business, but who would have thought that she would get into such a big trouble with Jinji.

If I can’t set up a stall near Jin Kee, the customers I have worked so hard to accumulate will be lost.

Daya must be very sad, right?

Liu Ping looked at Su Xiaoxiao, but to his surprise, Su Xiaoxiao looked very calm.

Su Xiaoxiao was not too shocked. She had been thinking about the arrival of this day since the day she decided to set up a stall near Jin Ji.

If they don’t want to attract Jinji’s attention, they have to do their business poorly. Once their business becomes prosperous, they will inevitably be driven away by Jinji.

Manager Sun never chased people away in the past. Besides the fact that she was still famous for saving people, the other two reasons were that she didn't sell much and didn't steal many high-quality customers.

Even if Manager Sun were here, he might not be able to stay still.

From one perspective, their business is really booming, so booming that even Jin Kee is jealous.

In Ms. Li's words, this is not a bad thing, but a valuable whetstone.

If you can handle it, you can rise straight up! If you can't handle it, you can only lie back on the ground and continue to be a pile of mud! Ms. Li was born in a rural family and went out to work in society before graduating from junior high school.

Grandma had told her a lot about Ms. Li's rough journey, saying that Ms. Li had slept on the main road, eaten stale steamed buns, worked as a cleaner, sold boxed lunches, was threatened by her peers, and was bullied by her competitors...

I was stabbed and sent to the hospital...

Looking at Ms. Li, who was adorned with jewels and looked more elegant than any other wealthy lady, she thought her grandmother was making up a story just to make her feel more sorry for Ms. Li.

But she is a child, why should she feel sorry for adults?

Ms. Li doesn't feel sorry for her!

Now it seems that grandma may not have exaggerated.

Ordinary people start from scratch and have to endure hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

But she was not afraid, and there was even a hint of anticipation deep in her bones.

Isn’t it just a Jinji?

Want to step on her?

Dream on!

"Sister, are we going to set up the stall again tomorrow?"

"Swing! Why not swing?"

If Jin Ji has the ability to grab business with her strength, don't think you can scare her away with a few words.

She compromised this time and decided to expand her business in another place. She bet that Jin Ji would still not let her go.

So, why give in! Liu Ping thought to himself, as expected of a bully, he is bolder than a man, and he really went toe-to-toe with Jinji.

He is an honest man and never causes trouble, but Daya is the benefactor of their family.

If Ming Ri Jin Ji's fist comes down, he, he will stand in front of Daya!

…

Wutong Academy.

Mr. Xiang had nothing to do, so he put on a fox fur coat and painted in front of the window.

Jingyi sat aside silently.

Young people, even when quiet, give people a feeling of being full of vigor and vitality.

Master Xiang glanced at him, his eyes swept across his right hand, and said with a faint smile: "The brocade bag has not been given out yet?"

Jing Yi paused while playing with the sachet: "What did my cousin say?"

Mr. Xiang said, "Okay, I can't see your little trick. You clearly wanted to give it to me before the New Year. Tell your cousin, is it you who didn't give it to me, or is it that they don't want to give it back to you?"

"She didn't refuse!" Jing Yi said. After that, he realized that he spoke too quickly and said, "Who said I was giving it away?"

Master Xiang said with a smile, "Just give it if you want. When did our young Marquis Jing become so fussy? Aren't you two very close? Why can't you give a gift? Have you offended her?"

Jing Yi said stubbornly: "I don't understand what my cousin is saying."

"If you really can't deliver it, I'll help you."

"It's my own gift, why should I let my cousin deliver it?"

"You admit it, don't you?"

Jing Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a return gift."

"What is given out is the return gift." Master Xiang pointed to his chest, "What is placed here is the thought."

"Cousin, you should be worried about yourself, right?" Jing Yi decisively changed the subject, "I heard that I'm going to have a new cousin-in-law."

This is the news that Hongluan and the other two brought back from the capital. The imperial edict has already come down.

He understood that his cousin didn't want to get married.

The marriage between nobles is for each to gain what they need.

The cousin was given military power, and that one was formally appointed Duke Dingguo, recognized by all the aristocratic families.

This is probably the meaning of this marriage.

Seeing that his cousin didn't say anything, Jingyi regretted bringing up this topic.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the military token?" Mr. Xiang didn't want to talk about marriage.

Jing Yi said: "No."

Master Xiang said, "My 'illness' will eventually heal. I can't stay in Qingzhou forever. It's best to get the military token before I leave."

Jing Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Cousin, is the military token really that important?"

Master Xiang continued to paint: "Without the military token, we can't move the Wei family."

Jing Yi said: "The entire Wei family died in the battle, and the only young son is supporting the family. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Youngest son?" Master Xiang laughed, "You speak as if you are older than him. He is a talented young man, the top scholar at the age of seventeen, the sixth-place winner, gave up literature and turned to military affairs at the age of eighteen, beheaded King Hu Lie at the age of nineteen... He can fight on the battlefield and serve in the imperial court. Jingyi, don't underestimate him."
