After Yan Xia paid the money, the two of them went home.

After walking through the alley and losing sight of Su Anjiang, Yan Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was tortured to eat the meal just now. Brother Su didn't even take a few bites, but despite the thunderous waste of food, she still had to eat so many dishes, and her stomach was really full.

Su Anjiang didn't come to the pastry shop to buy flower cakes for three days in a row.

Yan Xia didn't care. On the fourth day, she rented a carriage and took Wintersweet to Jiangnan County.

She originally wanted to go alone, but Lamei clamored to go with her. Her youngest daughter had never left the county town in her life, so Yan Xia simply took her with her.

Because the bridge across the river has not yet been repaired, we set off early in the morning and arrived in the evening.

Yan Xia found an inn and moved in with her daughter.

Jiangnan County is very prosperous. Unlike Shuangqiao Town, there are not many people on the streets when it gets dark.

The nightlife here is rich.

When it gets dark, all the shops light up lanterns.

They are colorful, including yellow, green, pink and white, but most of them are red lanterns. The light illuminates the entire Jiangnan County very brightly.

If you go up to the courtyard, you can see the lights of thousands of houses.

The noisy sounds of hawking, chatting, and storytelling are mixed together, but they are exceptionally harmonious.

Yan Xia and her daughter were wandering aimlessly. In Lamei's hand, she held a bunch of candy figures with a bird painted on them. Unfortunately, the head was eaten by Lamei.

Both of them had charming smiles on their relatively similar faces.

Like sisters.

Yan Xia glanced around and saw that there were people selling late-night snacks, tea, and jewelry and handkerchiefs on the street.

Everything is available.

Compared with modern ancient towns, it is not much different.

After shopping for a long time, Yan Xia was a little tired.

After eating a lot of street food, the mother and daughter's stomachs were very full.

They sat by the river and admired the scenery.

The river runs from the city gate to the end of the city. Several boats float on the river from time to time. There are several young men sitting on the boats, some of whom are holding charming girls in their arms.

Drinking wine leisurely.

There are also men who look like scholars, in groups, reciting poems together.

After all, Yan Xia traveled through time and was just shopping in modern times.

But Lamei is a real country bumpkin. She has never seen such a scene. From the moment she arrived in Jiangnan County, she never closed her mouth.

Yan Xia was always amazed.

"Mom, Jiangnan County is really prosperous. We in Shuangqiao Town can't find many people on the street at night. If our family opens a shop here, can we sell from morning to night? Wouldn't we be able to make more money? ?”

Yan Xia was speechless.

This girl.

I thought she wanted to live here, but for a long time she just thought about making money.

No matter what, it is better for a woman to be career-minded than to always think about raising her husband and raising children.

"My mother came here just for the shop. Deng Qiuzhi, who sold me the land before, left his address for me. We will go find him tomorrow. We have no acquaintances here. If we open a shop rashly and encounter difficulties, we will not be able to get any favors. It’s better to cooperate with Brother Deng.”

Yan Xia has recently begun to guide her children intentionally or unintentionally, and will discuss everything with them.

No longer tell them after you finish the work on your own initiative.

After all, they are grown up, and the family business will still have to be left to them in the future.

If you always rely on her to work, she will be exhausted.

"Mom, what if he doesn't cooperate with me?"

Lamei licked the unfinished candy, looked at Yan Xia and asked.

"He will definitely cooperate. Mom is confident. Look at the business of our shop. When has it ever been worse? Everyone doesn't like money. Everyone wants to have more money. If he is not a fool, he will definitely agree."

Jiangnan County is not without customers from her pastry shop.

There are three people who have ordered cakes from her alone.

There are also flower cakes and peach cakes delivered once a month. If they are delivered, Zhao Dali will stay at the inn here for one night at public expense.

Come back the next day.

The mother and daughter sat by the river and chatted for half an hour. The evening breeze was a bit cold, and their faces were cold.

"Let's go back to the inn. Go to bed early. We have to do some serious work tomorrow. When you're done, Mom will take you to have a good day."

"Well, mother is the best, then let's go back."

Lamei held Yan Xia's arm affectionately. She still had half of the candy in her hand and was reluctant to throw it away. Seeing this, she stuffed the candy into her mouth.

The ‘crunch’ is so chewy.

Not even a minute went by.

This tiger strength is quite worthy of Yan Xia's true inheritance.

The two of them walked through the bustling streets and then walked through an alley to reach the inn.

When I walked into the alley, I came face to face with four or five idle young men.

Wearing a brocade robe, a valuable jade pendant hangs around his waist.

At first glance, they look like some dissolute rich second generation.

"Oh, they are a pair of sisters. Why are you two wandering on the street so late at night? Are you doing that kind of business? In that case, let's go back with the young master. How about we give you five taels for the two of us together? ?”

"Brother Zhao, you are a bit stingy, I'll give you 8 taels!"

"Haha, since you all have given the price, I'll give you 10 taels. I like the older one, and you can do whatever you want with the rest. Girl, come with me. I'll give you 10 taels of silver."

"Brother Wang, you are being unreasonable. The price I offered is the price for two people."

"Okay, what's the point of just playing with each other? Why don't you two sisters serve together? Tonight, I will be the host and you will go to my other courtyard."

"Brother Xu is quite interesting."

Several people laughed lustfully.

Yan Xia's face looked a little gloomy.

She protected her daughter behind her and prepared to teach them a lesson.

Taking advantage of the darkness in the alley, Yan Xia picked up the rocks on the ground and was about to smash them.

But as soon as she stood up, the stone in her hand was taken away.

The man whispered in Yan Xia's ear.

"Don't be harsh. One of them is the only son of the magistrate. It will be bad for you if things get serious. The magistrate is the best at protecting your shortcomings."

He is a young man. He is wearing a black robe. Through the moonlight, you can vaguely see the golden patterns on it. It should be sewn with gold thread. He has a cool temperament but his eyes are extremely cold. His profile is as sharp as a knife. A pair of upturned red phoenix eyes make him look more like a man than a woman, but his thick eyebrows and high nose add to his masculinity.

The young man was a full head taller than Yan Xia, and his body was slightly lowered when he spoke.

The voice was lazy and somewhat pleasant.

"Hey, isn't this Meng Yu? I heard that you were beaten by your father's family a few days ago and couldn't get out of bed. Is this your injury?"

One of them saw the young man and taunted him.

"Brother Xu, these two are my good friend's sisters. We went out to play together today and accidentally got separated from us. To save my face, I will take them back. I will host them another day and set up a table in Wanhua Building. , how about choosing a few girls with good colors for you to play with alone?"

Meng Yu didn't pay attention to that person.

Instead, he went to Xu Jiahao, the son of the county magistrate, to communicate.
