The shopkeeper came to his senses and nodded quickly, turned around and arranged for someone to get a seat and snacks. Xiaoqing helped Xiao Lian get off the carriage, and the guard asked the inn to park the carriage. The last location was arranged on the second floor. It was not yet dinner time, so there were no guests, but it was still clean.

Xiao Lian sat down, and one guard stood on the balcony to patrol, while the other was at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. Because the incident of a calamity happened a few days ago. Although it was in Fengqi Town now, it was not careless, while Xiao Qing stood beside Xiao Lian to serve him.

Xu Chen was not polite to sit next to Xiao Lian. Xiao Qing saw her mouth slightly open and wanted to say something, but finally, she closed her mouth again when she saw Xiao Lian indifferent. She couldn't help but mutter, Mr. Xu is very important in the eldest lady's heart. She has been with the eldest lady for five years, let alone sitting in the same seat, and she has not acted a little more intimately.

Xu Chen also knew how to be a master of the superiority and inferiority. He also knew that he was working for the Xiao family now, but because he shared the life and death with Xiao Lian, he had crossed the mountains and sat at the same table together, and he was negligent in this regard.

"Try this sweet-core cake. I liked it when I was a child." Xiao Lian smiled and pushed a plate of desserts like white-haired cake to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen smiled and took it: "Why, don't you like to eat now?"

After taking a sip, the fragrance was extremely fragrant, but it was a bit sticky, which Xu Chen felt very good.

"When I was a child, my family was not very wealthy. I ran around with my father and didn't settle down much. Although this sweet core cake was a bit sticky, it was sweet and fragrant. It was cheap and resistant to eating. It used to cost only a few cents, but now it is expensive." Xiao Lian recalled that he was a little moved.

Xu Chen took a sip of tea, wondering if Xiao Lian had such a growth experience, she thought she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth.

"Because this store was mortgaged and my father had never done such a business, he had never intervened in this inn. Anyway, as long as you have money to earn money every month, it would be enough." Xiao Lian looked at the second floor and said, "But I also heard that this inn is a bit strange recently."

Xu Chen listened carefully, because he felt that Xiao Weifeng would not give him a job casually. Since spending a few days with Xiao Weifeng, he has never done anything meaningless, so this daily accounting work is probably something else, which he didn't expect.

"It is normal to have profits and losses in business, but this inn has been in the same amount for several months, and the amount of money provided is almost the same."

"Isn't this quite good? It means that the business is normal and the customer source is stable." Xu Chen asked.

"It's normal, but the inn has a saying that the off-season peak season is like this. The off-season money is similar. The peak season money is similar. After a long time, even I feel a little strange, let alone my father?" Xiao Lian said to Xu Chen, "So I hope Mr. Xu is more attentive in this inn. Although his father asked you to come here to settle accounts every day, if you have a little bit more control, they will never say much. After all, you represent our Xiao family."

When Xu Chen heard this, he immediately remembered what Xiao Weifeng said this morning, "Don't give them too much face." It turned out that this sentence also had this meaning.

"Okay, I will try it." Xu Chen still puts himself in a very straightforward position as a worker. Although Xiao Lian is not his boss, he is also the boss's daughter. Especially her request is part of her job, but I was just woken up in advance. Maybe the butler will say similar things when he brings him over tomorrow.

"Miss, Mr. Xu, how about this snack?" After the shopkeeper arranged the arrangement, he went upstairs to greet him.

Xu Chen, who knew some inn problems, now felt a little weird when he saw the inn shopkeeper's smile.

"It's okay. Today I just brought Mr. Xu to see the environment. There is nothing big about it, so you don't have to worry." Xiao Lian said with a smile.

The shopkeeper laughed: "Look at what the young lady said, it is our honor to you, Lai Fulai Inn."

"By the way, your surname is your shopkeeper?" Xu Chen asked.

"I dare not take it. My surname is Li. I have been staying in Fulai Inn for three years." When the shopkeeper saw Xu Chen who was coming to check the accounts in the future, he naturally quickly answered carefully. You should know how easy it would be if Xu Chen came to Xiao Weifeng to speak a few words to him. Especially when Xu Chen and Miss Xiao were sitting together, they were not at all afraid that the relationship would be even more strange.

"Shopkeeper Li, don't be nervous. We will deal with each other frequently in the future. I am a man who has no bad temper. After all, everyone is doing things for Mr. Xiao, I believe you will understand." Xu Chen said some words that make people unable to touch the head and see the end, but Xiao Lian and Shopkeeper Li both heard clearly what these words mean.

Manager Li could only laugh and dare not speak. Xu Chen couldn't say anything else when he saw this. After all, he was not here to check the accounts now. It is not suitable to intervene in this inn now.

"By the way, Mr. Xu doesn't know how to ride a horse. Do you want me to let the servants teach you then?" Xiao Lian remembered something.

Seeing that Xiao Lian no longer wanted to pay attention to the shopkeeper, Xiao Qing waved his hand behind her back and asked the shopkeeper Li to retreat. The shopkeeper Li could see the scene clearly and hurriedly retreated.

"This is OK." Xu Chen naturally responded, after all, he also had the idea of ​​learning to ride a horse.

Xiao Lian thought that as a woman, she could do this horse riding technique, but she never thought that Xu Chen didn't even dare to get close to the horse just now. Now she thought about it and wanted to laugh.

The two sat and chatted for a while and the topic ended. On the one hand, although Xiao Lian wanted to learn more about Xu Chen, he was not particularly good at communicating with men. He could not ask directly. This would probably make Xu Chen feel that he was a strange woman. Xu Chen had always respected Xiao Lian, and his respect was greater than the vagueness between men and women. When he saw Xiao Lian holding a dagger in the carriage and thanking the guards for his death, he respected the woman in his heart, especially when his heart was already on Huang Ying'er, how could he think of Xiao Lian between men and women?

One person didn't know how to speak, and the other person didn't dare to speak casually. The two of them couldn't sit still when they sat together.

Just as Xiao Lian thought it would be better to return to Xiao Mansion, Xiao Qing suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, yesterday I heard that the top girl Shiyin from Qingfeng Pavilion deliberately invited you. Is this really the case?"

Xiao Lian picked the corners of his mouth slightly. Did Xiaoqing understand what I was thinking?

Xiaoqing naturally would not speak casually. After all, if the master is by his side, how could they dare to take the initiative if the master doesn't let them speak? However, when she saw Xiao Lian's expression was bad, she took the initiative to speak half-gamble. When she saw Xiao Lian's expression, she knew that she had bet right.

"That's true." Xu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that he promised to go to Shiyin to accompany her when he had time.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing took advantage of the situation and asked: "I wonder what Mr. Xu talked to Miss Shiyin, we maids are very interested in it in private."

Xiao Lian was afraid that she was not going to like Xiaoqing. She had always wanted to ask but dared not ask something. Now someone finally asked for it.
