"Brother, you guys go back first. I'll take my sister to the ferry."

The twins Li Jiru and Li Jiyi had already harnessed the ox cart, Jiang Muxia was already seated in the carriage, and the three of them were ready to set off.

Li Jifu asked suspiciously, "What are you doing at the ferry?"

Li Jiru had already raised the whip and said, "Sister wants to eat fish, let's go to the ferry to have a look." Before he finished speaking, the big yellow ox had already pulled them towards the south of the city.

Li Jifu was worried and shouted from behind, "Be careful and go home early."

Inadvertently, I saw Tang Zhongbai staring at the direction of the ox cart, with a somewhat lonely expression.

"Sir Tang, I'll go back first. Please take care of my family's case." Li Jiufu ignored his disappointment and went back early to tidy up the workshop and prepare for resuming work.

Tang Zhongbai said "hmm", came back to his senses, and called Tang San and Tang Si to leave the market quickly. The three of them headed towards the east of the city.

……

Yongjin Ferry is located in the south of Suanzao County. It is one of the three major ferry crossings in Chenliu County and a transit station for merchants traveling from the south to the north.

The main goods in circulation are dried jujube, willow weaving products, and the most famous Yellow River carp in the Dawu Dynasty.

One mile away from the ferry, there are two rows of two-story shops with courtyards selling food and groceries.

Of course, Jiang Muxia and the other two did not go there for the carp. To be precise, Jiang Muxia tricked the younger brother of the Li family into accompanying her.

She came to the ferry for an important matter.

She wants to find someone.

She was not sure if he would agree, but this person was the most important step in her plan. If the first step failed, all the subsequent steps would be in vain.

No matter how much it costs, we have to convince him.

She remembered that she had met this man once in her previous life, and when he saw her, he called her "Xin'er".

The surprise in his eyes at that time was like seeing a relative who had been away for many years.

Xin'er must be an important person to him, and she must look 80% like this person.

She's gambling.

"My two brothers, go to the ferry first to buy some fish. I'll go to the tavern ahead to see if they have the wine my grandfather drinks."

She was going to Xu Ji Winery, the third store in the front row facing the ferry.

In the previous life, when he stopped her and called her Xin'er, his father greeted him.

Later, my father casually said that the medicinal wine that my grandfather loved to drink was bought from him, as his tavern was located at the ferry.

The tavern was bustling with people, and the shelves on both sides of the shop were filled with huge wine jars, with the names of the wines written on red paper on them.

There are four or five tables in the middle of the tavern, so that the porters loading and unloading at the ferry can have a place to rest while drinking.

It was the Double Ninth Festival and many customers came to buy drinks.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young girl in silk clothes chatting with the waiter selling wine at the counter, "Xiao Chengzi, thank you for leaving two jars of ginseng and cypress wine for me. My father can't live without this wine now."

"Miss Feng, you are too polite. I am glad to be able to help you. Is this wine effective for Magistrate Feng? Drinking medicinal wine for a long time will lead to drug resistance. If you find that it is not very effective, please ask Miss Feng to come over and ask the shopkeeper to adjust the prescription." Xiao Chengzi smiled and replied, "The shopkeeper is upstairs. Do you want him to come down?"

Miss Feng blushed slightly and said hurriedly, "No, no, I'm busy at home, I'll leave first." She shyly picked up the wine with the maid following behind her and passed by Jiang Muxia who entered the store.

She saw the girl out of the corner of her eye and was amazed.

What a cool and beautiful woman.

She turned out to be the county magistrate's daughter.

Jiang Muxia only paused for a moment, then came to the counter and asked, "Excuse me, young man, is your boss here?"

Xiao Chengzi was fiddling with his abacus when he heard the voice and looked up. Seeing that it was a pretty girl, he smiled and replied, "Little girl, what can I do for you? If you need some wine, just come to me."

"I'm not buying wine. I have something important to discuss with your boss." Jiang Muxia said straightforwardly.

Xiao Chengzi looked at her suspiciously, examining her, not understanding why a little girl wanted to see the shopkeeper. But he did not neglect her, "I am here, the girl has something to do."

"Are you the owner? But I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for the owner of this tavern."

Xiao Chengzi looked at her meaningfully. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still shouted inside: "Fuzi, go upstairs to ask the master of the house. Someone is looking for him."

After a while, a tall and thin boy of about thirteen or fourteen came down the stairs and said, "Brother Chengzi, the master of the family wants to talk to his people upstairs."

Xiao Chengzi suddenly burst into coughing and glared at Fuzi. Jiang Muxia understood what he meant. He was blaming him for not making it clear that it was a girl looking for him and that it was inappropriate to go upstairs.

"Please, Brother Fuzi, take me upstairs." Jiang Muxia spoke in advance and asked Fuzi to take her upstairs. In her previous life, she lived to be 58 years old. As an old woman, she had seen all kinds of people.

Upstairs, in a room by the window, a man in his twenties with a handsome face and a gentle temperament was sitting at the table fiddling with medicinal herbs.

He didn't even raise his head when the door was pushed open. "Who is looking for me? What's the matter?"

"It's me." Jiang Muxia felt a little uneasy, but she remained calm and said lightly.

Fuzi then went out and tried to close the door, "Young man, don't close the door."

The man then looked up, with the same surprise on his face as in his previous life. He stood up suddenly, rushed forward and held her hand, "Xin'er, Xin'er, is that you? You finally came to see me, I knew you would not die. Was it Master who saved you? It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." Xu Da was very excited. He held her hand tightly, laughing and blaming himself at times.

"You've got the wrong person. My name is Jiang Muxia." She pulled her hands out of his large and warm hands.

"Impossible, Junior Sister, are you blaming me for not taking good care of you when I left the villa?" Tears welled up in his eyes, sadness reaching the bottom of his eyes, "I'm sorry, I don't have the face to face Master. It was you who left with me, but it was you I brought back... I'm sorry for you."

Jiang Muxia didn't have time to watch him recall the past, and spoke again, "You really recognized the wrong person. I came here to discuss a business with you."

"Impossible, there can't be two people in this world who look so similar."

Jiang Muxia understood his intense emotional reaction. Seeing his deceased relatives reappear in front of him after such a long time, the surprise of regaining what he had lost was like a bubble floating in the air, disappearing in a flash. How could he not collapse?

Jiang Muxia stood in front of him, looked him straight in the eyes, and said firmly: "Look carefully, I am not her."

Xu Da didn't speak for a long time; he was still unable to calm down.

Jiang Muxia’s appearance today made his heart, which had been dead for many years, suddenly come back to life.

He stared at her with his deep eyes, muttering to himself, "Xin'er? Are you really not her?"

"I'm not. I know she must be the one in your heart, but I really am not her. Are you okay?" Her heart softened. This must be a man with feelings and righteousness. If Xin'er were alive, she would be a happy woman.

Xu Da sat back at the table and his mood gradually returned to the state it was when he first entered.

His tone was calm, "What do you want from me?"

"I want to discuss a cooperation with you that could make you rich overnight." Her tone was confident and firm, and she was very sure of the suggestion she was about to make.

"Oh. But I have this pub, I have no worries about food and clothing, I am not interested in unexpected money." He finally calmed down and returned to his seat. The girl was pure and kind-hearted, and her face was calm.

After figuring it out, he looked at her with teasing and amusing eyes.

This girl who looked similar to his junior sister didn't show any change in expression when he called her Xin'er. She knew his weaknesses, and she must have ulterior motives when she suddenly came to him.

He wanted to see what her purpose was.
