After reading Shuyun's letter, Brother Jiang knew about Jixian Pavilion Bookstore in the county and had even met Manager He. He just didn't expect to have such a connection with her.
"Is the Jixian Pavilion in the county owned by Manager He?"
Sister-in-law Jiang also knew about Jixian Pavilion; it was a huge shop, and the things it sold weren't cheap.
"No, Manager He is just the manager, helping to manage the bookstore."
"Huh? It wasn't him who opened it, it was just a manager?"
Jiang's wife was somewhat disappointed. How much silver could a shopkeeper earn in a year?
"I'm not even as good as Manager He, so what's there to regret?"
Manager He has worked at the bookstore for many years, and his wages are not low.
Shuyun said that her family owned houses in both the prefectural city and the county town, as well as farmland and shops, so they were quite wealthy.
Brother Jiang thinks it's pretty good, but he doesn't know how Manager He's son is doing.
"What's the situation with the He family?"
"The He family is a branch of the He family in the prefectural city, that is, a relative. Over the years, they have been helping to manage the bookstores in the county town."
The He family has three sons and one daughter. The three older sons are all older than the youngest and are all married.
The eldest son runs a general store in the prefectural city, the second son works as an accountant at the Jixian Pavilion in the prefectural city, and the daughter is also married in the prefectural city.
In the county town, only Manager He and his wife are there; in the prefectural city, their elderly parents are cared for by their two eldest sons.
Brother Jiang repeated what Shuyun had written in her letter.
"It looks pretty good. Manager He is a nice person. I've met him many times."
After Jiang's father came to the prefectural city, he often went to the bookstore and occasionally ran into Manager He.
"There's no rush. Let's find out more first. The imperial examination is not far off, so they can't be in such a hurry to find someone right now."
"Understood, Father. I'll ask Shuwen to inquire about it. I'll also talk to my former classmates to see if they know anything about the He family's youngest son."
"Yes, when you inquire, be subtle, otherwise everyone will know. We're girls, our reputation is more important."
After Jiang's father finished explaining, the family understood.
Sister-in-law Jiang wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. It's true, their family wasn't even as well-off as the He family.
