Mingjun and Mingjia had to rush back to the county government office for lunch, so they only briefly got to know the others in Zhiqulou before heading back.

Thirteen and Fourteen drove to pick them up. Mrs. Yan and Shuang'er got out of the car and happened to meet Xie Boyuan and a few men coming out to see Ming Jun and Ming Jia off.

The aura of Thirteen and Fourteen could not be deceived, and Granny Yan would be even more deceived if she stood there. Several people from the capital were businessmen, and their eyes were the most vicious, especially the shopkeepers who were very frightened.

After seeing off the Xiao brothers and sisters, Xie Boyuan took his men directly to the reserved box in the restaurant. Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li will wait until lunch time before going there, which actually leaves some time for their master and servant to chat.

Several people entered the private room of the restaurant. After taking their seats, Chi Rong and Chi Hua felt that they were juniors, so they just lowered their heads to drink tea and refused to raise their heads. Chi Hai, Huang Zhengqing and Yan Niang winked when they wanted to go, all wanting the other party to speak first.

They originally came to Chuanzhou to work with Xie Boyuan, but judging from the situation in the morning, it seemed that they were working for the two brothers and sisters of the Xiao family. Moreover, the servants of the Xiao family are obviously not the configuration that a county magistrate’s family should have!

Xie Boyuan didn't want to continue watching the lawsuits between several people, so he said directly: "The two guards around Ming Jun were given to the Xiao family by Li Guogong Li Hansheng. The Xiao family comes from the foot of Phoenix Mountain."

When several people heard Xie Boyuan speak, they quickly put down their teacups and listened carefully. "I wrote a letter to look for that woman. She came from the palace. I don't think she is an ordinary woman."

Xie Boyuan made it clear in two sentences what was unusual about the Xiao family's servants. Then he said: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Everyone looked at Yanniang, and Yanniang secretly rolled her eyes. When he turned to look at Xie Boyuan, he was already smiling: "Second Master, where did you offend Miss Mingjia?"

Yanniang could see clearly in the morning that her second master, Mr. Xie, had been in trouble with Miss Mingjia several times.

When Xie Boyuan heard this, he couldn't help but said "Hey! Hey!" and laughed. "The little girl is losing her teeth recently. She just lost a small front tooth yesterday. When I went out in the morning, I just teased her a few words."

Seeing Xie Boyuan smiling happily, Yan Niang and the others looked at each other, and this time they fully understood the position of Miss Ming Jia in the second master's heart.

Yan Niang thought for a while and suggested: "Second Master, would you like to buy some things that little girls like to coax Miss Mingjia?" Xie Boyuan quickly waved his hand: "This girl likes money, but not other things."

After Xie Boyuan finished speaking, he looked at the surprised expressions of several of his subordinates and didn't explain much. They would understand after spending some time with Ming Jia.

However, Xie Boyuan has something to say up front: "From the idea to the specific implementation of Shiqu Building, it is Mingjia's own idea. I only provided a little help in the early stage. Everything about Shiqu Building is subject to Mingjia's direction."

Xie Boyuan, who was smiling happily just now, suddenly turned cold and told several subordinates in a very serious tone. He didn't like people taking advantage of his age to give random orders after being the shopkeeper for several years and not obey Ming Jia's instructions.

Several people knew how to be obedient, and they quickly expressed that they would listen to Miss Mingjia's instructions. Xie Boyuan just hammered it out in advance and wouldn't say much.

Seeing that everyone knew what he meant, Xie Boyuan easily said the next sentence: "However, because of the replacement of teeth, the little girl probably won't leave the county office again in a short period of time, haha!!"

Yanniang is a woman and has always been in women's business, so she understands the mentality of girls best. Yanniang now particularly understands Miss Mingjia's attitude towards Mr. Xie in the morning.

Xie Boyuan finished speaking to himself, regardless of whether anyone paid attention to him or not. He took a sip of tea and continued to say to Yan Niang: "I transferred you here because I want you to open a cloth shop in Qu County and sell some fabrics and ready-made clothes. In the end, It’s good to match it with some jewelry.”

Yanniang was a little dazed, so she urgently closed the store in Beijing. Is it because you came to Qu County to open a store? Yanniang was very puzzled. Xie Boyuan simply wanted to dress Mingjia up beautifully.

Mingjia has a lot of jewelry. Dong will buy some more for Mingjia every year, and Xie Boyuan will also send people to the capital to purchase some. But what Mingjia brings most often is just a hairpin in a set of ruby ​​hairpins sent by Li Hansheng.

Since the accident, the hairpin has never been seen again. Mingjia now ties her hair with a hairband every day. The hairband was carefully selected by Mrs. Yan and matched with her daily clothes.

However, Xie Boyuan always felt that Mingjia was too plain. He didn't understand how girls dressed, so the old way reminded him that there was a Yanniang in the capital.

After a while, Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li arranged things in Zhiqu Building and came over to eat together. They are all well-rounded businessmen, and they all want to be friends, so naturally they will be very harmonious.

Xie Boyuan didn't drink. He left early after he was full, leaving them chatting with each other. However, in the end, Xie Boyuan said to Huang Zhengqing: "Tomorrow morning, come to the county government office."

The conversation was quiet for a moment, but soon resumed. Huang Zhengqing nodded in agreement and continued chatting with Accountant Li beside him about what he had seen along the way.

There were still things to do in the afternoon, and the lunch session ended quickly. Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li returned to Shiqulou. Chi Hai and his two sons planned to walk around the county seat to get acquainted with Qu County.

Huang Zhengqing also had this idea, and in the end only Yan Niang was left. Yanniang thought for a while and said, "I'd better go shopping in the cloth shops and clothing stores in Qu County by myself!"

The five people then divided into two groups and began to visit Qu County. Huang Zhengqing kept wondering what would happen if Mr. Xie found him alone. So I spent the whole afternoon shopping in a hurry.

The next day, Chi Hai took his two sons to Zhiqu Building early in the morning. Yanniang had her own arrangements, so Huang Zheng went out early in the morning to guard the gate of the county government office.

At approximately a quarter of the hour (7:7-20:), a carriage drove out from the alley next to the county government office. It was the same carriage that came to pick up the Xiao brothers and sisters yesterday.

I saw the carriage stopped in front of Huang Zhengqing, the curtains of the carriage were opened, and Ming Jun's little head was exposed: "Huang Accountant is here at the right time, please get in the carriage!"

Huang Zhengqing looked around and then got directly into the carriage. After entering the carriage, I discovered that only Master Mingjun was there and Mr. Xie was not in the car. Huang Zhengqing was a little confused. He was worried that the second master was still waiting for him.

Ming Jun quickly explained with a smile: "Huang Accountant, my master asked me to take you to the county school to meet Mr. Xie. He said that you and Mr. Xie are old acquaintances."

Huang Zhengqing's originally somewhat embarrassed expression suddenly froze. Mr. Xie? Your surname is Xie? Huang Zhengqing's heart pounded! Boom! The ground was beating violently. He had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask.
