Chapter 154 Miss Liu from the Shangshu Mansion



At this time, Jin Zian pulled Xia Manni and said, "What the old lady said just now makes sense."

Xia Manni: ...

That lady is only in her forties, she can't be an old lady, right?

She asked, "Why?"

"Because I want to open a clinic there."

"so?"

"We're together."

Xia Manni fell into deep thought, maybe she could really give it a try.

On the other hand, Zhang Cuiling on the side had an expression that showed that she felt sorry for the money.

In the end, the three of them decided to go home first.

When the three of them returned home, they were greeted only by potatoes.

Of course, the village chief also came, mainly to see if anything happened to the three people.

People in the village were saying that the eldest son of the Xia family had taken Doctor Jin away.

It was said that the two of them left in a hurry, as if something had happened.

However, the village chief saw that the three people were fine, so he drank a cup of tea and left.

Zhang Cuiling: "Where were we just now?"

Xia Manni: "Speaking of having no money."

"Yes, yes, it's definitely not possible to rent two shops at the same time."

Jin Zian: "I can wait a little longer, but our shops have to be next to each other."

This incident did have some impact on Jin Zian.

For him, only Xia Manni and the children are the most important.

All of them went to the city, and he was the only one in Shi'an Village.

If something happened suddenly like today, he really wouldn't be able to make it in time.

Xia Manni could understand Jin Zian's concerns and also understood Zhang Cuiling's worries.

Because there really isn’t enough money.

At this time, Jin Zian took out all his money and said, "This is definitely enough to rent a shop. I will take good care of my health later, and I can save enough to open a shop in a few months."

He just heard Xia Manni's detailed description and realized that Jin's Medical Clinic was also involved.

It is indeed enough, but Xia Manni doesn’t want to owe anyone a favor.

Finally, after persuading each other for a long time, the three of them decided that Xia Manni and the others would go and rent a shop tomorrow. If they could find a cheaper one, they would rent one nearby as well.

"Hey, Manny. I think there's something different about Dr. Jin today."

Xia Manni looked at Zhang Cuiling's serious expression and laughed: "Tell me what's different."

"Before, I always felt that he was aloof and didn't care about anyone except you. But today, he seems so manly, and he's really nice to you..."

"Hey, stop it, Sister Cuiling. He is the same as you to me."

Because of Wu Dayong's incident, Xia Manni deliberately kept her distance from Jin Zian.

After arriving in Jin'an City, there was basically nothing going on between her and him, and the pain that Jin'an City brought to Jin Zi'an was not something she could soothe.

But Zhang Cuiling shook her head and said, "Well, what a pity."

"Oh my god, if Jin Zian knew that someone said he was a good person, he would probably laugh himself to death. You wouldn't be..."

Zhang Cuiling is not ugly, but she is tall and not very pretty.

Because he had been exposed to the wind and sun in Shizai Village and on the road to escape famine, he became thin and dark.

Now that I've been taking care of it for a while, I've become a lot whiter and the flesh on my face has returned.

It’s just not easy to dress up, but she looks good when she dresses up.

Zhang Cuiling blushed because of this sentence.

He slapped Xia Manni and walked away cursing.

The next day, Xia Manni and Zhang Cuiling started looking for a shop, and it was easy to find one.

It’s hard to find two rooms connected together.

As a result, they searched for three or four days before they finally found two adjacent shops for rent.

But if the neighbors rent the house together, there must be something wrong.

Because both companies asked for high prices, Xia Manni did not agree.

I stayed near this house for two days and then found out the reason.

It turns out that the location here is a bit awkward. It's at the end of the alley, but there's also a corner blocking the view.

Therefore, the number of passengers walking here will decrease, and there is a small bridge outside the alley, which is not as convenient as the street over there.

Therefore, many people stop walking halfway through Qionghua Lane.

Look at the shops behind, they are either bookstores or teahouses, there is not a single restaurant.

Therefore, Xia Manni made a fuss about this matter and talked to the bosses of the two companies separately.

Finally, he rented two shops at a price fifty taels lower than the market price.

This made Xia Manni and Zhang Cuiling very happy, but their happiness only lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Because they have no money.

So the store opening had to be postponed, and they could only earn money while decorating the store.

The poisoning incident did not have much impact on Hao Zhai Lai Noodle House. Instead, the business became better and better.

Until one day, Xia Manni met an old acquaintance again.

"Liu Miaoyan?"

Xia Manni looked at the woman in front of her and couldn't believe that this was the Liu Miaoyan from before.

Every step and every line she takes reveals the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"What are you shouting? Did you also call our young lady by her name?"

Liu Miaoyan frowned and scolded, "How dare you! This is my friend. Please leave."

The little maid was a little hesitant, "But... Madam..."

Liu Miaoyan shouted again, "I said, step back."

After the little maid left, Liu Miaoyan found an empty table nearby and sat down.

"What's going on? Where's your previous maid? The one called Xiaohong?"

Unexpectedly, when she heard Xiaohong's name, Liu Miaoyan started crying.

Xia Manni quickly poured a glass of water, "Don't cry, is there something wrong?"

"After returning to Jin'an, something happened to my father. Not long after he was imprisoned, the rumors were terrible. My mother couldn't bear the blow and became bedridden... Later she passed away..."

It was only then that Xia Manni noticed that Liu Miaoyan was wearing a white dress and a white flower in her hair.

"From then on, our family was managed by my uncle and aunt. My uncle's official position was promoted, and my aunt became the head of the family."

Liu Miaoyan sighed deeply and said, "At first, everything was fine. I didn't really understand the affairs of the court. But then they kept me in the dark about our family affairs. They started to treat me harshly, and Xiaohong got upset and started fighting with some of the maids."

"So they sold Little Red Hair. From then on, all the servants around me disappeared and were replaced by their people."

This was too much information and it took Xia Manni a long time to digest it.

She asked quietly, "What position does your father hold? Now is the time to seize power and fight. Is he involved in the party struggle?"

Liu Miaoyan stopped crying and widened her eyes, saying in surprise, "You actually said the same thing as Zheng Yingyan."

Xia Manni knew that Zheng Yingyan was Zheng Zhifu, her fiancé.

Liu Miaoyan also whispered: "My father was the Minister of Revenue. He was impeached for participating in a factional dispute. The Queen Mother wanted to establish her authority, so she took my father away."
