Song Huan brought Jin Yue and Jin Le back to Huichunyuan.
"Ah..." Song Huan knocked on the system.
"Master System, why do you make me go through this exhausting plot?"
"Such a huge fortune, just given to me, and I'm already facing the risk of losing it before I even have time to warm it... Wuwuwu, why would you treat me like this? How could you have the heart to do that? Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"
System: "...Dear, what you've experienced wasn't orchestrated by our system. It's the natural development of this small world. Please calm down."
Song Huan: "No! I can't calm down! My fragile and helpless little heart has been deeply hurt, and I need health points to recover!"
The system said indifferently: "Dear, it's impossible. Health points can only be earned by completing tasks."
"Also, a friendly reminder: the life points previously advanced to you by the system will be automatically deducted from your existing life points before the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Song Huan: "..." A myocardial infarction.
This broken system, does it think she can't defeat it?
"lady."
Song Huan was getting angry with the system when Jinle's sweet voice came in, "Brother Pei Xi is waiting in the yard. He said someone outside wants to see Madam."
Song Huan was puzzled. Who wanted to see her? She went out to meet Pei Xi.
"It's Mr. Qin."
Pei Xi said, "I asked carefully, and this Mr. Qin is the head shopkeeper of the Shangbao Manor branch in Beijing. His name is Qin Zhi."
"Qin Zhi?"
"Quick, take me to see him."
This person is the master that Uncle Qin officially appointed for her. Maybe she can ask this master for help?
Song Huan's heart attack disappeared instantly, and he happily followed Pei Xi to the front hall to meet people.
However, when she came to the front hall and saw the back of the man in grass green clothes... she felt a little weird.
It's not that she judges people by their clothes, but the saturation of the green on him is a bit too high, which really looks eye-catching... This outfit is not as pleasing to the eye as the one on the servant next to him.
"You...are Shopkeeper Qin Zhi?"
Song Huan pursed her lips and tried hard to control her expression so as not to be disrespectful to her elders.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man turned around, smiled faintly at Song Huan, and said with a bow, "My name is Qin Zhi, and I'm honored to meet the Marquis' wife."
Song Huan was slightly stunned. "No need to be polite, Manager Qin. Please take a seat."
This person is too young. He looks even younger than Pei Yan?
She had thought that the head manager of the Beijing branch of Shangbao Manor would be someone around the same age as Butler Pei...
But she was in a novel, and many people and things were unreasonable.
It's unreasonable that a guy like Pei Yan went to the battlefield at the age of nine and still lives to this day.
Qin Zhi was officially certified by Uncle Qin, so he must be a man of real ability. She couldn't deny him just because he was young.
"When I met Uncle Qin the day before yesterday, he mentioned the name of Shopkeeper Qin to me. At that time, I thought Shopkeeper Qin was an old and respected shopkeeper. I never thought that when I met him today, he turned out to be such a young man. He is really a young and promising man."
Song Huan collected his thoughts and began to flatter Qin Zhi.
Just a few nice words, you won’t lose anything by saying them anyway.
Qin Zhi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he was not happy after hearing these compliments. Instead, his face became a little stiff.
He took a sip of tea and was silent for a moment before lowering his head and saying, "Madam, you are so kind. I came to see you this time because the owner of the manor specifically instructed me the other day to let you get to know the old shopkeepers on Baoyun Street before you go there to meet them."
Song Huan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Something's wrong. It sounds like he wants to draw a line between himself and her and keep his distance.
Did she flatter the wrong person?
Song Huan's eyes curved slightly, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Uncle Qin is thoughtful. But I wonder if this will cause trouble for you, Shopkeeper Qin?"
Qin Zhi still lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Madam, don't worry. Since this is the manor owner's order, I will do my best to help you take over Baoyun Street."
He lowered his eyes as he handed a booklet to his attendant, asking him to take it to Song Huan. He continued, "This booklet contains the temperaments and likes and dislikes of the old shopkeepers that I have recorded. Madam, you can take a look at it first."
Song Huan took the booklet, blinked, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Manager Qin."
Qin Zhi nodded, immediately stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave today and not bother you anymore, Madam."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave without waiting for Song Huan to answer.
Song Huan: "..." Shit, are we leaving now? Too hasty!
She hasn't even figured out how to express her purpose tactfully and naturally!
"Wait, Shopkeeper Qin!" Song Huan hurriedly stood up and said, "Actually, I have something that I might need to trouble you with..."
Qin Zhi's back suddenly stiffened, and his foot, which was about to step out of the threshold, stopped, and it took a long time before he retracted it.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath before mustering up the courage to turn around and ask, "What instructions does Madam have?"
"It's about Baoyun Street." Song Huan didn't care about being polite at the moment and spoke very bluntly: "To be honest, I'm leaving for Ning County tomorrow. Baoyun Street... could you trouble Shopkeeper Qin to look after it for me for two years? Of course, Shopkeeper Qin can offer you a bonus that will satisfy you."
Qin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Song Huan: "Madam, are you going to Ning County?"
Song Huan nodded, "Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Qin Zhi's eyes turned, and the previous stiff expression disappeared completely. He grinned and said, "If that's the case, as long as Madam trusts me, I will naturally be willing to help Madam."
Song Huan felt relieved and said with a smile, "More Manager Qin."
. ……
The next morning, Song Huan, along with Jin Yue and Jin Le, set off for Ning County along with Butler Pei and everyone else from the Marquis' Mansion.
Song Huan took a quick look and found that almost all the servants in the mansion had gone to Ning County together, and only a handful of people were left.
"Butler Pei mentioned this to me. The Marquis originally told him to keep at least half of the people in the mansion. But... except for a few who really couldn't go on, everyone still followed. Butler Pei couldn't stop them, and it was impossible for him to hurt them, so he had no choice but to let them follow."
After listening to Jin Yue's explanation, Song Huan nodded slowly. "Why don't I see Master Li? Didn't he argue with Butler Pei yesterday about going to Ning County with us?"
Jin Yue shook her head, "I don't know."
Jinle held his cheek, looked at Song Huan and then at Jinyue, his bright eyes twinkling as he asked, "Maybe Grandpa Li is being stubborn?"
"Yeah." Song Huan nodded continuously. This is very likely.
The road from the capital to Ning County is not easy to travel.
As Butler Pei said, the further north you go, the more difficult the conditions become.
By the twentieth day, they had not even made it to Fengyuan Town and could only find a wider area in the woods to rest.
The cold wind blew wild sand into the air. Song Huan, Jin Yue and Jin Le rested in the carriage, listening to the whistling sound of the wind... They were completely unable to sleep.
She planned to find a place to stay in Fengyuan Town tomorrow and then sleep through the night.
However, in the second half of the night, Song Huan suddenly heard the sound of approaching horse hooves.
The author has something to say: Jinjin, who was facing the wall, came out and said: I bow and apologize first!
