Chapter 49: Rich Son
"Miao Miao, what's going on?"
"Sixth Lady, he hasn't paid yet, don't let him go."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, Gu Yuanniang kicked Wang Buren and tripped him.
Wang Buren fell flat on his face and looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction: "You!"
He struggled to get up, left behind a few pieces of silver and hurried away.
"Mother."
As soon as he got home, Erbao ran to Xu Miaomiao's arms and acted like a spoiled child. Xu Miaomiao noticed the wound on Erbao's arm and asked quickly, "Erbao, what happened to your arm?"
The little girl said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't hold the water steady when I was drinking and it spilled on my hands. Don't worry, mommy. Xiaobao helped me deal with it as soon as he saw it."
Xu Miaomiao carefully checked and found that the wound was treated very well. She looked at Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao is awesome."
Xiaobao also smiled happily. Worried that the wound would not heal, Xu Miaomiao took out medicine powder from the space and sprinkled it on Erbao's arm. It would be bad for a girl to be left with a scar.
After finishing the work, Xu Miaomiao sighed, wondering if she had been too busy with the inn's affairs recently and had forgotten to pay attention to the children.
Erbao and Xiaobao are still young, and it is not time for them to go to school yet, but it is time for Dabao to go to school.
"Mother, are you going to take us to the inn?"
The next morning, Erbao looked at Xu Miaomiao and blinked his eyes.
Xu Miaomiao looked at her three babies and said, "Well, the inn was unstable before, but now it's fine. You can just play in the yard, and your mother can see you."
"Great." Erbao happily came in front of Xu Miaomiao: "I can be with mommy."
As soon as they arrived at the market, Xu Miaomiao took Dabao out first.
"Dabao, you are old now, let your mother send you to school."
Hearing this, Dabao, who was walking, stopped.
Xu Miaomiao looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
After a long while, the boy slowly said, "I won't go to private school."
Dabao tried his best to resist. He said that he had already learned most of the general knowledge by reading his father's books. It would be a waste of time to go to a private school to study further.
"Can you tell me why?"
Seeing that the boy was still silent, Xu Miaomiao also sighed: "Okay, let's not go there for now, let's go find Erbao and Xiaobao."
Back in the yard, Erbao and Xiaobao were happily pushing things in the mud, and Dabao quickly ran over to look after his two younger siblings.
However, Xu Miaomiao noticed with sharp eyes that Gu Yuanniang was looking at the wine jar with worry.
"Sixth Mother, what's wrong?" Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and asked.
The woman sighed, shook her head and said, "There are no more grapes for making wine. I asked and found out that they have all been bought by the neighboring restaurant."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao also frowned. She had visited Lingjia's restaurant before, and the boss was a straightforward person and would not play such tricks.
Xu Miaomiao was deep in thought, and immediately went to find the shopkeeper of the Ling family.
"Ah, what wind brought Shopkeeper Xu here?"
The man held his hands up, looked at the person in front of him and asked.
Xu Miaomiao also bowed back, picked up the grapes on the table and spoke slowly: "Manager Zhang has bought up all the grapes in the town, leaving us no way out."
The man chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "These grapes are also good fruits. They are perfect for entertaining guests."
"Manager Zhang, I know you are not the kind of person who would resort to such despicable means. Please sell us some grapes."
The man was also in a dilemma, and shook his head and said, "Madam Xu, it's not that I want to monopolize your business and stop you from doing business. It's that someone above me wants to punish you, and I can't do anything about it."
Xu Miaomiao had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and Chunhe's appearance flashed through her mind immediately. She bowed to thank the person in front of her, and hurried to the Yuanwai Mansion.
Ever since the last incident, Xu Miaomiao bribed a servant in Cui Yuanwai's mansion. It seems that she has to go and ask him.
The sun in the sky was setting. A man named Si came out from the back door, looked around, and came to Xu Miaomiao vigilantly.
"Madam Xu." Xiao Si bowed and said, "After the old lady came, Chunhe's arrogance was suppressed a lot. The young master is fine, madam, don't worry."
Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Si in front of her, took out some silver from her arms and stuffed it into his hand.
Xiao Si took the money and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "But Chunhe couldn't let go of that anger and said she wanted to cause trouble at Madam Xu's inn."
Xu Miaomiao nodded. As expected, it was indeed Chunhe who did it.
"Miao Miao, what's wrong?"
Seeing the woman in disarray, Gu Yuanniang asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, Liu Niang, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about the grapes."
"Oh no." Gu Yuanniang waved her hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter. My plum wine is almost done recently and can be launched as a new product."
As she spoke, Gu Yuanniang scooped a spoonful from the wine jar and handed it to Xu Miaomiao: "Smell it, this aroma is not ripe wine."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman and said hesitantly, "Sixth Lady, I just went to Cui's house."
The hand holding the spoon paused, looking at Xu Miaomiao at a loss.
Xu Miaomiao placed her hand on Gu Yuanniang's to comfort her: "Don't worry, I've asked, Ling'er is doing well, the old lady loves him very much."
Gu Yuanniang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Miaomiao with red eyes: "Miaomiao, thank you."
"Okay." Xu Miaomiao wiped away the tears on Gu Yuanniang's face: "Don't cry anymore."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
There was a sudden rustling sound around, Xu Miaomiao felt annoyed and came out to check.
The leader was a handsome young man. The luxurious carriage was inlaid with gold edges and the silk was also very valuable.
On the other hand, the man was dressed in brocade and jade, and the jade pendant on his waist was very transparent.
There were dozens of people following behind her, all with swords on their waists. The calluses on their hands told her that these people were very skilled.
"Who is the shopkeeper?"
As the man sat down, someone next to him spoke.
Xu Miaomiao took the menu and went over immediately: "I am."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao approaching, the man next to him was about to draw his sword and said, "Stand away."
The sword that had not yet been taken out was stopped by the sitting young master: "Don't be nervous, it's just a woman."
"yes."
The man next to him put away his sword, stood behind the young master, and took a step back.
The man who saw Xu Miaomiao sitting there looked at her curiously and said, "I've never seen a woman be a shopkeeper before. It's quite rare."
Xu Miaomiao smiled awkwardly: "It's just to make a living."
"I think this place is nice, let's stay here."
The man stood up and looked around and spoke. The man next to him immediately stepped forward to dissuade him: "Sir, you can't do that. It's not safe here. It's better to live in the government house."
"Alas." The man waved his hand and refused: "I'll stay here today."
"All right."
The guard beside him compromised.
"Please help me clean up the room." The man said to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao nodded. Fortunately, the previous guests from the Western Regions had left, otherwise there would be no room for them to stay.
