White steam was rising from the small pots in front of each person's table. The room was warm and filled with the aroma of wine and meat.

Except for Cang Min and Jing Zhan who were in deep thought, everyone else seemed to have adapted to this kind of life long ago, and everyone was very natural and casual.

No one was bound by their status anymore, especially Yan Zhi, who was as happy as a child.

She looked at so many people gathered together chatting and having fun, some were drinking, some were eating meat, some people's faces were as red as monkey's butts after a glass of wine, but they didn't feel that they were being rude, they still happily ate meat and drank wine, the atmosphere was warm and joyful.

It was also her first time to dine in such an environment. It was very different from the palace banquets where everyone spoke tentatively, took small bites of food, and tasted wine politely. Everyone fully enjoyed the happiness brought by the food.

Everyone can use their favorite seasonings at will. Many people will give you some advice, but you still have to try a few times before you find your favorite flavor. Qianyou calls it "self-service hot pot."

Yan Zhi was happy and curious about everything.

She shook off Cang Min and even pushed Cang Yu away, sat next to Qian You, secretly ate Qian You's seasoning, and compared and commented on it with her own. This was a dining experience she had never had before.

From time to time, Cang Min glanced at Cang Yu who was pushed to the side helplessly. He gradually relaxed from his initial restraint, and watching everyone's skillful movements, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

Still sad!

This meal allowed the several groups of people to quickly come together.

There are guards from Qianmai Palace, Qianliu Mountain and two other palaces.

When they went out after dinner, the guards could no longer tell where they were from, they were all arm in arm and it was very lively.

The elder stroked his beard drunkenly.

He really felt that Qianyou was an unusual girl.

Around her, everyone is in a state of relaxation and extreme joy, releasing the most primitive and kindest human nature.

In the next few days, Cha Cha Fish Noodle House continued to open.

Yan Zhi and Cang Min seemed to treat this place as their own business. They would report on time when the door opened every day and busy themselves with their own work.

Even Cang Min would voluntarily help to draw water from the well.

Here, when people meet each other, they don’t address each other by identity, but call each other by name. Everyone is very friendly.

However, amidst the joy, some people still felt uncomfortable.

The one here is Qiao Nan.

She used to be there to protect Qian You, but after Cang Yu came, there was no place for her.

The big tree by the river became her second shelter, but she was targeted by an outsider.

Every day she was on the tree and he was under the tree. From time to time, he would find some topics to disturb her from closing her eyes and emptying her mind, and the accumulated negative emotions became more and more.

"Hey! Can you please not stay here? There's such a big riverbank and so many trees. Why do you have to stay under this tree?"

Qiao Nan's impatient words revealed that she was in a very unhappy mood at the moment.

"There is no restriction on who owns the territory here. Besides, this tree is the closest to home and has many branches and leaves that can block the sunlight, making it the best habitat."

Jing Zhan has discovered that this girl is cruel and doesn't talk much, but she is also cold-faced and soft-hearted. Just like Xiuzhu said, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, she can't do anything to you.

So, having learned Xiuzhu's true skills, he has been trying to challenge her bottom line.

"You are a pale-faced scholar, so what's wrong with getting some sun? It can make your skin healthier, right?"

Qiao Nan was a little anxious.

She didn't want to share anything in her life with anyone except Qianyou and her brother.

This man occupied her territory, which made her unbearable.

Jing Zhan picked up pebbles on the ground and threw them into the river aimlessly. The monotonous "plop" sound made Qiao Nan even more angry.

"If you knew martial arts, I would have fought you directly. But you are a scholar, and I can't bully you. Forget it, this land is yours, and I'm leaving."

She jumped down from the tree lightly, patted the clothes on her butt, turned around and was about to leave.

"No, no, no, don't go. Let's talk. Your brother and I are good friends. We can be considered friends. Can we chat if we are bored?"

Jing Zhan followed shamelessly.

These days he really forgot how hard his life was before. Being with people like Qian You, he felt as happy as if he were on vacation every day.

Of course, he also had to handle various letters and reports from Dongcang Kingdom for the emperor.

However, the environment has changed, and his efficiency in handling these trivial government affairs is extremely high.

It used to be a difficult task that took several hours a day, but now he could finish it while playing. He had plenty of time left every day and just lay under the tree and stared blankly, feeling very bored.

"Why are the people around Qianyou so happy? Are all the people in your Qianmai Palace like this? Qianyou has been out for so long, but I haven't seen her deal with important government affairs. As the young master, does she not care about the affairs of Qianmai Palace?"

Jing Zhan chased after Qiao Nan and kept asking.

Based on his observations, this was also something he couldn't figure out.

"Are you curious? What is your intention in asking about our Qianmai Palace?"

Qiao Nan turned around and glared at him angrily.

"No, no, no intention. What do you mean by curious baby?"

He stopped, fearing that this serious little girl would attack him.

However, he was very glad that in her eyes he was just a weak scholar, otherwise, even if he had some kung fu skills, he would not be able to withstand her abuse.

Didn’t you notice that Xiuzhu and his men were avoiding her?

Although he didn't know martial arts, he knew that this woman was very skilled, and he admired her very much.

Qiao Nan was annoyed by his noise and went into the kitchen.

Jing Zhan felt very disappointed as he watched the graceful figure disappear in an instant.

......

Beiyan Capital, Qianmai Palace branch.

No matter what he tried, similar moves would appear before Qianmai Palace even started to make any moves, which gave Qiao Mu a headache and made him puzzled and felt quite strange.

The Qianmai Palace people transferred from Dongcang were all brothers who had worked with him for several years. They were entangled in various trivial matters every day and made no progress, and they were all in a bad mood.

"Master, Beiyan is very different from the other three countries. They seem to be very hostile to us. Do you want to consider withdrawing from here?"

The brothers from the escort agency have been here for a month and have not received a single business order. Compared with the previous busyness, everyone is not used to it.

They all rely on performance to earn money to support their families, so this would be a huge loss.

correct.

In addition to the guaranteed salary, a large part of the income for each position in Qianmai Palace comes from performance.

At first they didn’t understand, but after they started doing it they realized that if they wanted to make money, they could use any method.

Qianmai Palace provides you with a platform and resources, and you can share the profits with Qianmai Palace after earning money. Brothers are very interested in this performance-based approach.

People with ideas and abilities have achieved financial freedom in Qianmai Palace and bought houses and land. Many people have escaped from their previous poverty and are living a rich life they never imagined.

"Otherwise, please come and take a look, there is something wrong here, but I can't tell what's wrong."

The person in charge of organizing Tianyi Restaurant also felt frustrated.

He had taken a fancy to a shop and went to sign the contract today, but it had been sold an hour ago.

He had been stood up several times and felt that someone was interfering.

"Let's go to Jishui Village first and tell the young master about the situation here. Let her decide whether to continue advancing in Beiyan. Otherwise, it will be useless for the brothers to stay here."

Yin Jie was also very anxious.

Qiao Mu came in person to promote the expansion of the Qianmai Palace branch, but there was still no progress. Now we shouldn't doubt his inaction in the past two years.

"Okay, everyone, put aside what you are doing, and in three days some of you will follow me to Jishui Village."
