Read my heart, my whole family was forced to clean up

Qin whispered, "Her name is Chen Min, and she's the owner of this shop."

"Oh."

Qin, "......"

No, it was not that her reaction was too cold, or that she had not thought of anything. Also, this concubine was an honest person, and she would not think too much like her and the master.

Qin looked at the woman and fell into deep thought.

Inside the shop, a faint scent of sandalwood rises, intertwining with the occasional snowflakes drifting in from the window.

The female shopkeeper sat behind the carved counter, wearing an elegant plain silk dress. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she could see through the details of every transaction. She was obviously a very shrewd person.

She tapped the abacus with her fingertips, making a clear and pleasant sound.

When Qin saw this, she was stunned. This man was a talented person. If she brought him back to the capital, he would definitely make her a lot of money.

Can you seduce her?

This is a problem.

"Your wine, sir."

Qin came to her senses, thanked her, and started drinking with Aunt Shen, one cup at a time.

"Ma'am, is this how we drink?"

Aunt Shen was still a little nervous. Was it a bit too much for them to go out and drink alone?

In such a cold day, drinking some wine can warm you up.

Wine is a luxury here.

And it's not cheap, it's very expensive. Just a pot of wine like this costs a lot of money.

She felt a little guilty.

"It's okay, it's okay. Go ahead and drink to warm yourself up. It's not easy for us either, so just enjoy yourself."

"Hey, hey, okay."

The two of them drank from a pot of wine, cup after cup, and soon their bodies warmed up. There was no one else in the store, just the two of them drinking.

Didn't order any dishes.

After calculating the bill, Chen Min put down the account book and looked around the store. She was a little surprised to see only two women drinking.

These two people look unfamiliar.

People who do business are naturally willing to make friends.

She took a pot of wine and walked over to the two of them and sat down.

"Hello, I'm the shopkeeper here, my name is Chen Min, can I sit down and have a drink with you?"

Aunt Shen looked at Qin, who was a little confused.

"Oh, oh, sit, sit."

Qin looked at Chen Min a little reservedly. She lowered her head slightly and gently tucked the hair beside her ears with her hands. "Did we disturb you?"

Chen Minlang laughed and said, "No, no, you are the first two people to come and drink so early in the morning, especially women."

Qin sighed.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. It's too cold. My sister didn't sleep well all night. I thought I'd drink some wine to warm her up."

Qin looked at Aunt Shen and said, "My sister is not in good health. It's too cold here. Sigh."

Aunt Shen, "???"

Is that her, sister? She is in good health, pretty good.

I slept well last night. I didn’t even have any dreams and slept till dawn.

Chen Min looked at the silent Aunt Shen and took a look. "Well, she looks weak."

Aunt Shen, "???"

No, she just looks thin, but she is actually not weak at all.

On the contrary, she is the best one in the mansion and her health is even better than that of the lady.

Just as she was about to prove herself, she was attracted by Qin's plaintive sigh.

The lady looked unhappy and sighed a lot.

Well, that's right. When you come here, everything has changed. There are dangers everywhere. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Thinking about what happened to her last time and what her daughter did for her.

Aunt Shen couldn't help it, her eyes turned red and her nose felt sore. She sat quietly, with delicate ripples in her eyes.

Those tears silently told thousands of words, and each drop carried unspeakable tenderness and sorrow, which made people involuntarily feel pity for her and want to gently wipe away all her sorrow.

Chen Min reached out and wiped the tears from Aunt Shen's face.

He asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? I have some good wine here, you can try it later."

Looking at Aunt Shen's clothes, Chen Min felt a little sorry for this woman.

No matter how you look at it, it makes you feel so sad.

Qin on the side, "???"

Well, what’s going on? Why did you take action?

She sighed and said, "Oh, my sister has always been in poor health. It may be because she is too cold. She is uncomfortable with the cold. When she is cold, she tends to cry."

Chen Min touched Aunt Shen's hand.

"Such cold hands. This place is cold. How did you get here?"

How did you get here?

How else could he have come about? He was simply exiled.

Qin and Aunt Shen smiled bitterly. Alas, there was nothing they could do.

"Sister, my hands are warm now, thank you."

Chen Min kept holding Aunt Shen's hand, and Aunt Shen pulled it back awkwardly. She sat next to Qin. She was a little worried because she didn't know this person.

A woman who can be the shopkeeper here must be very capable.

She couldn't understand how to deal with such a powerful person, so she should just listen to her wife.

Qin took Chen Min aside and talked a lot.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation. This time, Chen Min did not charge them for the wine, but instead gave them a pot of wine.

"It's getting late. We have to go back. I'll come and chat with you next time."

Qin smiled very gently. Chen Min walked them to the door and said with a smile, "Okay, we really hit it off right away. If you have the chance in the future, please come often. Where do you live? I'll come to see you when I have time."

Qin told her her address and waved goodbye to her.

After they turned the corner, Aunt Shen finally spoke up, "Madam, do you really not have to pay for this wine?"

Qin looked at the honest and obedient Aunt Shen with a speechless look.

He took out some money from his pocket and gave it to Aunt Shen, "Go and give the money."

Aunt Shen, "???"

She couldn't understand the look in the lady's eyes. Why didn't she give it to her just now, and why did she have to give it to her now?

Aunt Shen didn't ask any more questions. She took the money and asked, "Madam, what should I say?"

"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't be too deliberate. I'll be waiting for you to come back here."

Aunt Shen nodded, turned around and walked back.

"The shopkeeper's."

Chen Min raised her head and saw the pitiful woman. She put down what she was doing and said with a smile, "Why are you back? Did you forget something?"

"Shopkeeper, this is the wine money. It's not easy for a woman like you to do business here. We can't take advantage of you."

There was a flash of surprise in Chen Min's eyes.

She looked at the money on the table and pushed it back.

"How can you be like this, woman? If you can take advantage of someone in this place, just take advantage of him. Why are you giving it back? Take it back and be obedient."

Aunt Shen, "......"

Why does it sound weird? There's a hint of pampering in it.

She pushed the money back and said awkwardly, "No, no, we can't take advantage of you. Thank you for your treat."

After saying this, Aunt Shen turned around and ran away, as if she was afraid that someone would catch up with her.
