Chapter 533 Question
"That's true, Madam Xu. Bai County is the most remote area in the South Country. There aren't many wealthy people here. The richest person in the county is probably Magistrate Hu. If we plan to build such a high-cost place, will anyone come?"
Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment when she heard this. Why didn't she think about this place? This is Bai County, not the capital where she had stayed before. The people here are very content with having the most basic food and clothing plus a little bit of savings. How could they spend more money to consume here?
Hearing Yu Jie say this, Xu Miaomiao was immediately brought back to reality.
If she had built a store like this in the capital, it would have attracted a lot of people, but Bai County is not suitable for such a place to continue to operate: "What the two gentlemen said makes sense."
Xu Miaomiao looked at Yu Zhen and Yu Jie and nodded: "Let's put the last item aside for now. I'll go back and think about it carefully. But the two things I mentioned above must be done. Find a reliable calligraphy and painting shop, and also publicize the half-price cakes. Then it will naturally attract a group of customers.
"Madam Xu is right. I will definitely do these two things as soon as possible."
Yu Zhen nodded. The reform method he had finally come up with was suddenly brought back to reality. Xu Miaomiao was still a little discouraged. She had decided to open this department store in the first place to make money and secondly to create a brand. Now in this world, it would be extremely difficult for a woman like her to run a business outside. However, the more this was the case, the more determined she became. She just didn't believe that there was anything in this world that she couldn't do.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?" Song Weiwei, who was standing by, saw that Xu Miaomiao was still worried after returning home. She picked up the dogtail grass in her hand and gently scratched her nose.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao rubbed her nose, raised her head, and looked at Song Weiwei with a smile: "Why are you so heartless all the time? After staying with Erbao and Xiaobao for a long time, your personality has really returned to what it used to be."
Song Weiwei looked at Xu Miaomiao, stuck out her tongue, and asked him, "Why have you been sleeping with Erbao these days? Did you have a fight with my brother?"
"Sister-in-law, my brother is not good at speaking. Even when my uncle and sister-in-law wrongly accused him of stealing and drove him out, he never defended himself. If he has made you unhappy, you must forgive him. It is not easy for the two of you to get to where you are today. Think about how much you loved him and forced him home to get married. You can't abandon him now."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Miaomiao blushed, nodded Song Weiwei's head, glanced at him, and said nothing. She just stared at the garden in front of her in a daze: "I'm not, I'm not angry with him, I'm just a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
Suddenly a cold voice came from behind. Xu Miaomiao was startled and immediately dropped the branch in her hand. Song Weiwei saw Song Wushao coming and ran away in a hurry. Seeing that it was Song Wushao, Xu Miaomiao immediately stood up straight. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she had to put them behind her back. Looking at Song Wushao's eyes, she didn't know why, but felt a little guilty. Song Wushao took a step forward and looked at the fallen flowers on Xu Miaomiao's head. Subconsciously, he wanted to help her take them off, but Xu Miaomiao shrank her neck and took a step back. How could Song Wushao not understand such a defensive action?
"What happened that day really scared you."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she lowered her head and shook it. She knew that Song Wushao must have had enough confidence that day, so he did that.
She didn't blame Song Wushao, she just resented herself and was a little scared. If Song Wushao was really as cruel and ruthless as in the book, and would do anything to achieve his goal, would her, Erbao, Xiaobao, Dabao, and Song Weiwei all become stepping stones for him to reach the pinnacle of power? One day, if we got in his way, would he abandon us without any reason?
Seeing this, Song Wu Shao could only gently withdraw his hand: "I thought we had been through so much, and we would always be able to be honest with each other. You can tell me any dissatisfaction in your heart."
Song Wu Shao's brows wrinkled, and his tone was not very good. Although he still looked cold and composed, Xu Miaomiao could clearly sense his annoyance and anger. She could only smile and look up, revealing a smile to Song Wu Shao: "It's nothing. This matter cannot be solved with your help. I have to wait until I figure it out myself. I am not angry with you. Mr. Song actually practiced such superb archery skills when I didn't know about it. I am not surprised, so how could I be angry with you?"
"If it's about archery, I can explain it." Song Wu Shao frowned and looked at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao didn't answer, and then responded to Song Wu Shao.
"What? Everyone has their own little secrets. I can come up with some things from time to time for no apparent reason. Didn't you never ask me? The most important thing between husband and wife is trust. I believe you."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left, but when he left, it was obvious that his hands were still shaking unconsciously.
Finally, after putting quite a distance between herself and Song Wushao, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, Song Wushao had already clenched his hands into fists in his wide sleeves, but his expression remained expressionless. He looked at the direction where Xu Miaomiao was going away, without saying a word, and turned back to his study.
A carrier pigeon flew across the sky and landed on the window. Song Wushao stepped forward, took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, replaced it with a new one, and then released the pigeon instantly.
It seems that we must hurry up, Song Wushao thought secretly as he looked at the carrier pigeons in the sky.
Xu Miaomiao always felt that Song Wushao was always secretly thinking about something big since he returned to Bai County. However, it was a power dispute between them after all, so she didn't ask too much. She could only take care of the children and Gu Yuanniang at home offline.
When she first entered the courtyard, she saw Gu Yuanniang walking in the courtyard with a child in her arms. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately walked over, frowned slightly, looked at Gu Yuanniang and asked with a questioning tone: "Where is Xu Qingshan? Why hasn't he come for the past two or three days? He used to be so eager to stick to you every day, but now he hasn't returned to the academy. Why doesn't he come to see you?"
