But after hearing Sister Zhao's words, she immediately rushed forward excitedly, hugged Sister Zhao, and kissed her hard on the face.

He didn't give up until he had drool all over Sister Zhao's face and was pushed by Sister Zhao in disgust.

"Why is this girl so crazy?"

"This is not called madness, this is called excitement.

Sister, you don’t know that you have really fulfilled that sentence, bringing pillows when you doze off and fresh spring water when you are thirsty. It’s just the right time.”

When she said this, Sister Zhao felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't have any ink in her stomach, so she didn't understand these words, but she knew they were definitely good words.

In other words, it is a word of praise.

But she didn't dare to take credit.

Tell the truth.

"When I was waiting for you, my cousin took us to go shopping. Your second sister and I picked the one we wanted to build a shop for you after you finished it.

Although you don't need it now, I think since the Zhao family hasn't said anything about taking it back, you should be able to continue using it.

It's a good courtyard. Your second sister and I fell in love at first sight. The shop in front is spacious and the location is excellent. The courtyard in the back is also big. In the future, you can bring all five husbands here, or even marry a few more.

It can be lived in and opened.

I'll check with my cousin later, okay, let's go now, there's no problem, I'll take you to have a look and identify the door."

Zhou Xiaomeng also meant the same thing, so she paid the money quickly and left with the two elder sisters.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to say hello to Sister Liu.

At a stall not far from her, a pair of masters and servants waited for them to go away and paid.

As Chu Qingmei walked on the street, she recalled what the woman had just said. Those fantastic thoughts really shocked her outlook.

Although she pursues a political career, her family also owns many shops, and taxation and local fiscal revenue are also closely related to businesses.

The first thing she did after taking office was to get familiar with the merchants in Qingshui County.

After all, Qingshui County is a place famous for its business.

Especially in the past few years, many merchants in Qingshui County have become bigger and stronger. There are quite a few who have gone abroad and even have businesses in the capital.

The woman was dressed plainly, but she talked eloquently, which really impressed her.

Also impressed was the boy beside her, Lu Liang.

How could you not be impressed?

On the day she first arrived, because of this woman, she was severely reprimanded by her master and fined a month's worth of silver. She was worried that she would not have a chance, but she was really destined.

"Lu Liang, how many merchants named Zhao are there in Qingshui County?"

Until a question called Lu Liang's thoughts back.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Nian replied.

"There are five or six families, but the most famous one is Miss Wan Chun's concubine, Miss Zhao Wanning.

Speaking of which, your Excellency has a close relationship with Miss Wan Chun. Before coming, Miss Wan Chun specifically begged the master to take care of Miss Wan Ning after he came.

But it has been a while since the master came, and the second young lady of the Zhao family has not shown up."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lu Liang's words.

Although the news of the master's taking office has been kept secret, how could it be kept secret? Everyone with a name in Qingshui County has sent out greeting cards.

But only Zhao Wanning is not there.

I received news before that Zhao Wanning was seriously ill and had to return to Beijing in a hurry, but now he is not going back and there is no news.

Although the master didn't say anything, Lu Liang was very dissatisfied.

"It doesn't matter, he's just a child. Besides, in a few days, when I entertain the merchants in Qingshui County, I will leave a message for her, and I'll see you there then."

Chu Qingmei shook her folding fan and talked as she walked.

Lu Liang responded, but couldn't help but say.

"Master is kind, but I just feel that this Second Miss Zhao is not as good as Miss Zhao. A concubine is a concubine. No wonder no official in the capital is willing to marry this Second Miss Zhao.

My engagement was canceled before, so when I think about it, Miss Zhao Er is also very pitiful."

There was acrimony in Lu Liang's voice. She meant to please her master, but she inadvertently offended him.

Seeing the sudden change in his master's face and remembering his identity, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

"Master, I just made a mistake. I didn't mean to offend you. I just feel that Zhao Wanning doesn't appreciate praise."

"Lu Liang, you've been talking more and more recently. If you don't improve, you won't be suitable to stay with me anymore."

Chu Qingmei shook her sleeves angrily and walked forward.

"Master, Master, I remembered that the woman just now was the one who beat up the officials we brought here, and she also forced the master to apologize.

By the way, it was this woman who made those outrageous remarks about gender equality on the street last time.

I heard that the reason why Miss Zhao Wanning suddenly changed her mind and stayed was because she was persuaded by a country woman to start a food court together. It seems to be called that.

I guess that the woman who made Miss Zhao act so ungratefully and without etiquette was also this woman.

As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. It is really difficult for Ms. Zhao Wanning to be in a refined state with such a person."

Chu Qingmei was stunned, paused, looked at Lu Liang, and after a long while, she faintly laughed under Lu Liang's expectant eyes.

"It turns out to be her, no wonder, no wonder."

After a series of wonders, Chu Qingmei walked briskly to the prefect's Yamen.

Lu Liang hurriedly followed, thinking bitterly in his heart that fortunately he had learned this information from his cousin Lu Nian a long time ago, so that he had the opportunity to show off to his master.

With her by the master's side, that woman, and that Zhao Wanning, don't even think about having an easy time.

The other side.

After Sister Zhao Xiuxiu went to ask Miss Zhao Wanning for instructions, she told Zhou Xiaomeng and the other three that the shop lady originally planned to take it back, but thanks to her words, she changed her mind.

"The lady said, it's really a waste of time for you to go back and forth. The store will accommodate you, and you can't run away anyway. It's better than finding another house."

Zhou Xiaomeng bowed to elder sister Zhao Xiuxiu, with endless words of gratitude on her lips.

But she knew in her heart that Sister Zhao Xiuxiu was trying to exaggerate on purpose.

Of course, Miss Zhao probably also wants to manage the food court well.

What a profiteer.

Striking while the iron was hot, she went straight to see the shop. She had to say that it was in a good location, with convenient transportation and at the intersection of the street. It was an excellent location.

There are three floors up and down.

There is also a large yard at the back.

She suddenly had an idea.

"Sister Zhao Xiuxiu, if you want to live with me, do you want me to arrange it however I want?"

"Um."

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't take it to heart. It would take a few husbands to pick up one person's bedding at most. If you add a few more, it would be a lot of trouble.

But he didn't notice the cunning flash in Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes.

While looking carefully at the yard and shop, a good idea came to my mind.

Her whimsical things that transcended this era have finally been put to use.

Miss Zhao Wanning, if you don’t give me half of the shares, then I will just open a shop by myself.

Specializing in selling those whimsical things.

There will be a processing workshop later.

She had to take time to think about it, then start testing as soon as possible, and then recruit a few people to help.

As for this workshop and shop, she planned to give some shares to the two eldest sisters.

And Sister Zhao Xiuxiu, you can also give some as appropriate.

Lots of connections, easy to get things done.

She still understands this truth.

And she really likes this yard. It has many houses, a big yard, and a large open space that can be used to grow vegetables.

Especially the crabapple tree in the middle is quite old and has lush branches.

When they are in full bloom, enjoy the flowers in the yard while sipping tea.
