Chapter 165 Drunk
People were coming and going on the street, and Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang were strolling with the crowd.
"Only in the capital can you see so many people." Gu Yuanniang said as she walked.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "It is precisely because of the large number of people that we can definitely open a good store here!"
"Oh, by the way, I remembered something important that I still need to tell you."
Gu Yuanniang held Xu Miaomiao's hand and spoke solemnly.
After finding a tea shop, Xu Miaomiao ordered a few plates of fruit and drank a cup of tea before listening to Gu Yuanniang speak slowly.
"The former county magistrate of Bai County, Hu Chong, was dismissed from his post."
Gu Yuanniang spoke up, with some shock in her tone.
Her eyebrows were not furrowed at all. It was a good thing that such a person was dismissed from his post, but Xu Miaomiao still had some doubts and asked: "Sixth Lady, do you know the reason?"
Gu Yuanniang took a sip of tea and leaned closer to say, "This matter is related to you as well."
"Me?" Xu Miaomiao pointed at herself in disbelief.
"Yes." Gu Yuanniang continued, "You didn't remind him at the time, and he didn't take it seriously. If the higher-ups knew about it, they would punish him for negligence."
"I see."
With a smile on his face, Xu Miaomiao sneered.
It's unfortunate for Bai County to have such a county magistrate. I guess I'm doing a good thing for Bai County.
"I heard that Cui Yuan has been pestering you for a long time and wants to reconcile with you?"
Xu Miaomiao asked tentatively.
Gu Yuanniang had already been relieved about this matter and immediately said, "He came a few times, but I beat him back every time."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao also smiled and praised Gu Yuanniang.
"It's getting late. Let me show you the shop."
After drinking the last cup of tea, Xu Miaomiao pulled Gu Yuanniang away.
The two walked for a long time and finally reached the street.
When Gu Yuanniang saw the store, she was stunned: "It's so big!"
Although it is still the same small second floor, the area it occupies is many times larger than the original store.
"This is just the outside, go inside and take a look."
Xu Miaomiao took out the key and opened the door. There were still many things left from the boss's previous rouge shop. There were some wooden shelves in the room, which looked a bit messy.
As soon as Gu Yuanniang entered, she walked around the first floor.
"With such a big shop, we should expand our business too!" Gu Yuanniang stretched out her hand to measure some of the things and was obviously very satisfied with the shop.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look!"
Xu Miaomiao pulled Gu Yuan's mother and walked upstairs. The stairs were rarely used and were quite sturdy, so there was no need to redecorate them.
Most of the original shops only had one room above them, but Xu Miaomiao divided it into two rooms for Xuguo and Lanyin to live in.
There are two more rooms in the store now than before. Xu Miaomiao plans to use one to check inventory, and the other two will be used by Xuguo and Lan Yin.
After telling Gu Yuanniang all his thoughts, she raised both hands in agreement.
"The house here is big enough. Lan Yin will be happy when she sees it."
Gu Yuanniang felt for the pillar in the house and said to Xu Miaomiao: "It's just a little far from where we live. It would be better if it was a little further in."
"Yeah." Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Sixth Mother is right, after this business is established, we will consider the future."
Because it was the first day in the capital, Xu Miaomiao was not in a hurry to pack. She first arranged accommodation for everyone and decided to have a reunion dinner together in the evening.
"Pretty little brother!"
Lan Yin was fiddling with a lotus in the mansion. As soon as she saw Li Yi, she rushed over and grabbed Li Yi's hand and refused to let go.
Li Yi blushed because of her, but he never pushed the girl's hand away.
"Did you miss me?" Lan Yin stared at Li Yi with her big wet eyes. When he didn't reply, she pouted her lips in dissatisfaction: "I missed you very much."
"Lan Yin, what are you doing again!"
Xuguo's voice suddenly came from the side. Her sister is a little girl. Not only does she stick to men every day, but she also learns to tease them. How can this be allowed?
Xuguo was very angry and grabbed Lanyin's little ear and left.
Li Yi, who stayed where he was, was stunned.
A pair of hands were placed on his shoulders, and Dabao's steady voice sounded from behind: "Relax, it's not easy for Mr. Nangong to let us rest, we must enjoy it."
After saying that, Dabao passed Li Yi and walked towards his younger brothers and sisters.
Li Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly. It was not that he was not relaxed, but he was just helpless facing the little girl Lan Yin.
The whole family sat together at the dining table, looking at the delicious food on it.
Since starting her business, Xu Miaomiao seldom cooks. Today she wants to reward everyone for their hard work over the past few days.
“It’s not easy for us to get to where we are today. Let’s raise our glasses together!”
Xu Miaomiao took the lead in picking up the cup and speaking while looking at everyone.
Everyone drank it all up——
Song Wu Shao's eyes were unconsciously attracted to Xu Miaomiao, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
It seemed as if everything was on the right track. Their shop was opened, Li Yi and Dabao made progress in their studies, Erbao and Xiaobao also had their own hobbies, and even Xiao Ling'er had learned to walk.
Everyone was filled with happiness. In the end, Gu Yuanniang was a little drunk and could only hand Ling'er to Song Weiwei who was standing beside her.
Xu Miaomiao drank two more cups and her face was red.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their rooms safely, Xu Miaomiao nodded and prepared to go to bed.
But after wandering around the yard for a few laps, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to arrange my own accommodation.
The breeze swayed in the air, causing Xu Miaomiao to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, everything in front of his eyes went dark, and a cloak fell from the sky and wrapped around Xu Miaomiao.
"Be careful not to catch a cold."
A gentle voice sounded in her ears. Xu Miaomiao looked in the direction of the voice and a jade-like face appeared in front of her.
Perhaps because of being drunk, Xu Miaomiao became bolder.
Her fingertips gently brushed Song Wushao's cheek: "Boss, why are you so beautiful?"
Xu Miaomiao pouted her lips, with a hint of complaint in her tone.
Song Wu Shao grabbed the little woman's fingertips and picked her up sideways.
Looking at Xu Miaomiao sleeping with her eyes closed, his heart trembled, but he endured it again and again, and finally took a shower to end it.
The sky had just brightened, and Xu Miaomiao was no longer drunk at all. She jumped up and touched her body. She was relieved to see that her clothes were intact, but for some reason she still felt a little disappointed.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xu Miaomiao immediately slapped herself on the cheek: "What are you thinking about!"
After convincing herself for a while, Xu Miaomiao regained her composure and prepared to have breakfast.
Perhaps because of drinking last night, Gu Yuanniang also felt a little tired.
