Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Because they were escorted by Ling Qingxuan's guards, the journey was smooth, and the group arrived at Xiyang County at noon two days later.

The guards sent Xia Chuntao to her new shop and helped her move all the goods into the warehouse. Xia Chuntao didn't even have time to thank her, and several guards left on horseback.

Xia Chuntao remembered what the noble man said from the guard's mouth - mountains and rivers meet each other. I hope that one day I can repay you for your life-saving grace.

When Xia Chuntao and his party arrived, Li Yuee was asking someone to install a plaque for the shop. Xia Chuntao asked Li Yue'e to help order the plaque before she left. As soon as the large plaque "Gathering Good Things" was hung up, it aroused the curiosity of passers-by.

"What does this shop sell?"

"I don't know. Look at this whole street, whose shop sells so much colored glaze? Doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

"Just because of this appearance, the things inside are certainly not cheap!"

While everyone was discussing, Xia Chuntao and his entourage happened to arrive in great force. When the guards and several coachmen unloaded the goods, more people gathered to watch.

"Oh, there are so many boxes, I wonder what's inside?"

"Have you seen those people riding horses? They are not ordinary people, let me tell you."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. I'm telling you secretly that those horses are military horses, and you can't buy them with money."

"Wow, then this shop has a lot of background!"

"It's really strange for these noble people. With their background, why don't they open a shop on Longxing Street? They come to our West Market to open a shop. It's hard to sell things that are expensive!"

"Hey, Mr. Wang, are you still worried about other nobles? First worry about whether you will have food to eat tomorrow!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xia Chuntao saw so many onlookers outside, this was a perfect opportunity to advertise!

Then he cupped his hands and said to everyone: "Our shop will open in three days. We have everything at all prices, and they are all fresh and good. In three days, everyone is invited to come to the shop to patronize, there are many discounts. Three days before the opening, we will also have a lottery. Don’t miss it, everyone!”

As soon as I heard that this "Juhaowu" store had a lottery and discounts when it opened, everyone rushed to tell each other.

Xia Chuntao is quite satisfied with this wave of advertising.

As for the beautiful misunderstanding of "a shop opened by noble people", Xia Chuntao thinks, let it be beautiful! At least no gangsters dared to collect protection money from her, and no thieves dared to put their hands into her shop.

Wonderful!

Li Yue'e looked at the guards who were leaving and bumped into Xia Chuntao's arm, "Who are those people? They seem to have a good background."

"I met a noble man on the way, who happened to be traveling on the same road as me. He saw that I had a lot of goods, so he asked the guards to deliver it for me."

"Hey, are you so easy to deal with? Why can't I meet you? You liar!"

Xia Chuntao chuckled, "Forget it if you don't believe me!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the warehouse.

Li Yue'e snorted: "Virtue!" and followed in.

Looking at the warehouse full of goods, Li Yue'e couldn't help but praise: "Chuntao, you are amazing!"

"That's a lot of stuff. Have you filled in all your wealth?"

Xia Chuntao nodded honestly.

"You are really good. You are not afraid at all. You went to Rongcheng alone with so much money on you. I went to find you the next day, and then I heard from Sister Zhao that you had purchased goods."

As Li Yuee spoke, she punched Xia Chuntao hatefully.

"Why are you so bold? How come you, a woman, dare to run around with so much money?"

Li Yue'e pointed at herself, "Look at the dark circles under my eyes? Do you see them? I always have nightmares at night. I dream about you meeting bandits, and I wake up every time."

Sister, your dream has come true!

It seems that he scared Li Yue'e quite a bit by running to Rongcheng.

Xia Chuntao felt a little guilty and held Li Yue'e's arm, "Sister Yue'e, you are my biological sister. Really, none of my biological sisters care about me as much as you do. I remember it all in my heart!"

This is true. In my memory, Xia Chuntao has an older sister, but the relationship seems not to be very good. Of course, her parents are almost strangers. Since Xia Chuntao married to Daxi Village, there has been basically no contact with her.

On the contrary, it was Li Yue'e who didn't care at all. He borrowed money when asked to lend money and helped when asked to help. Xia Chuntao sometimes felt that Li Yuee had a kind of chivalrous spirit and courage in her heart. If you respect her a foot, she will respect you a foot.

And Sister-in-law Zhao, although she was a little disappointed with Xia Chuntao before, she still helped her without hesitation. When she was away, he helped her take care of the children and took away her worries.

There are also Zhang Lizhang and Aunt Ye, Old Zhengtou and Aunt Zheng, Shuanzi’s parents...

Now think about it,

Those who are related by blood may not be the same, so there is no need to be obsessed with it.

Those who are not related by blood may not be able to be relatives for the rest of their lives.

This is how people get along with each other, there is no need to force it.

In the evening, Xia Chuntao and Li Yuee returned to Daxi Village in Lao Zhengtou's oxcart. The bullock cart stopped at the intersection, and Xia Chuntao walked home with the package on her back. When she was almost home, she saw two small figures in the distance, standing hand in hand at the door of Sister Zhao's house and looking towards the road.

Xia Chuntao ran towards Alai and Niu Niu excitedly.

The two little guys also saw Xia Chuntao and ran towards Xia Chuntao while calling for their mother.

"Children, mother is back! Mother means what she says."

Niu Niu hugged Xia Chuntao and refused to let go. Alai also had red eyes on the side.

"Oh, oh, mother, you have been gone for many, many days. Niuniu misses you."

"My sister and I are waiting for you here every day. Mom, do you want to go out?" Alai Baba looked at Xia Chuntao.

Xia Chuntao hugged the two children and felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, the children must be sad. But if you don't tell the truth, it seems unethical to lie to children.

"I won't go out for now. Mom bought you a lot of good things. Do you want to go inside and open the gifts?"

The two children cheered and took Xia Chuntao's hand back home.

Xia Chuntao first took out the gifts she wanted to give to her friends, and took Alai and Niuniu to give them out to their families.

Li Yue'e's gift is an exquisite mahogany dowry. Li Yue'e was not that shy person, so she accepted it happily.

I sent two pieces of cotton cloth to Mrs. Zhao's house, one in navy blue and one in crimson. Her two sons use fabrics a lot. Sister-in-law Zhao felt that the gift was too expensive, and people in the country did not bring two pieces of cotton when visiting relatives during the New Year. It was Xia Chuntao who persuaded her to accept the gift.

The other Xia Chuntao stores all gave away some southern specialties. Everyone declined and happily accepted.

When she got home, Xia Chuntao took out the roast chicken and meat buns she bought in the county town, and a few pieces of pastries she bought in Rongcheng, and made a big bowl of egg drop soup. The mother and son ate happily under the oil lamp.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Chuntao asked while serving egg soup to the children.

"It's delicious!" the two children said in unison.

Under the oil lamp, the two children gnawed on the chicken legs, their mouths shiny.

"Eat slowly and don't choke. If you eat too fast, you may become fat."

Niu Niu was very concerned about turning into a big fat man, so she became gentle in a moment, took a bun and started to nibble on it.

Alai doesn't care whether he's fat or not, he snorts and eats well.
