Chapter 247: Drive Out of the Inn
Jiang Xiaohe was actually a little drunk. The wine she just drank seemed like rice wine, slightly sweet, and was warmed by the heat, so she felt a little drunk.
It's just that her face doesn't show much after drinking, so it's not obvious. But when she walks on the street, she feels a little dizzy.
Chang Wei squinted his eyes and said, "Are you a little drunk too?"
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "No, I just drank a little too much and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Isn't this just drunk? But at least he spoke clearly.
After walking on the street for a while and being blown by the cold wind, Jiang Xiaohe became a little more sober.
"It's so hard to survive in this county, wouldn't it be even harder if we moved to the state capital?"
Chang Wei shook his head slightly: "The smaller the place, the more likely it is to have local tyrants. If this really happened in the provincial capital, they wouldn't dare to do this."
"Then the highest officials in our state government don't care about it?"
"Why should we care? How should we care?"
Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything, but just sighed slowly.
Chang Wei asked her, "Who did you meet today?"
Jiang Xiaohe waved her hand: "What's the point of calling yourself Mr. Wu? You're asking for three-tenths of my profit right away!"
She pointed three fingers at Chang Wei: "How shameless! Bah! Shameless!"
When she said this, her eyes were a little hazy. Chang Wei thought, she must be really drunk.
Jiang Xiaohe patted her head. She was quite awake just now because of the wind. But why was her mouth talking faster than her brain now? She quickly shut up and talked less. She walked quickly towards the inn, but after walking for a long time, she still hadn't reached the inn yet.
Chang Wei grabbed her and said, "Come this way."
She nearly fell down.
"Stop pulling and tugging. What a shame. I can walk by myself. Don't ruin my reputation!" After saying that, he walked forward.
Chang Wei shook his head: "This woman...", and followed her silently.
Jiang Xiaohe didn't know how she got back to the inn or how she fell asleep on the bed. She just felt a headache when she woke up the next day.
The waiter knocked on the door: "Madam, you are awake."
Jiang Xiaohe responded, stood up and opened the door for him.
The waiter held a tray and said, "This is the hangover soup. I put it here for you."
"I didn't order hangover soup."
"Your neighbor ordered it for you."
Next door? Jiang Xiaohe thought, maybe it was ordered by Shopkeeper Chen, so she asked him to keep the hangover soup.
After drinking a bowl of soup, I felt my headache was less painful.
Thinking that she hadn't washed properly in the past few days, she went downstairs again, had breakfast, and asked the waiter to boil a bucket of water and bring it up for her.
After taking a hot bath in the room, I felt much more comfortable. I took out another goose yellow dress from my bag and put it on. I sat in front of the mirror, draped my hair over my shoulders, took out a drier towel, and wiped it slowly.
"Madam, are you up?"
"Get up, come in."
Shopkeeper Chen opened the door and said, "Madam, someone came to Boss Meng's place early this morning, but you were still asleep, so I followed him."
"But what about the shop?"
Chen Dafu nodded: "Boss Meng asked someone to take me to see the shop. The location of the shop is excellent, and it is right in the center of the city. The shop is also very large, with two floors above and below."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Okay, I understand. There is nothing else to do today. If you and Qingshan want to visit the county town, that's fine. We will go back to town tomorrow morning."
Chen Dafu nodded, closed the door respectfully and walked out.
During lunch, Meng Hetang came again: "Sister, I heard that you were a little drunk yesterday."
Heard? Who told you? It must be Chang Wei. He has a quick tongue.
"This morning, my people have taken your shopkeeper to see the shop. How is it?"
Jiang Xiaohe said with a smile: "What Brother Meng can come up with is naturally excellent!"
"That's good, that's good. When do you plan to start decorating the shop?"
"I'll go back tomorrow and bring some people over, and we can start work right away."
"Okay! Then I will stay in the city for a few more days to wait for my sister."
After agreeing, Meng Hetang left.
Thinking that it was a rare trip to the city, he had to bring some things back to his family, so he packed up his things and went out.
The waiter downstairs saw her leaving and asked, "Does your head hurt?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Thank you for your concern, little brother."
Wandering leisurely on the streets of the county town, Jiang Xiaohe found everything curious.
When I see something delicious or fun, I can’t help but buy some and bring them back for the children at home.
When I passed by a jewelry store, I couldn't help but step in.
The dazzling array of jewelry almost blinded her eyes.
The owner of the store came over to greet her warmly: "What kind of jewelry would you like to see, ma'am?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Just take a look."
The boss followed her silently.
Jiang Xiaohe took a fancy to a emerald green hairpin, picked it up and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this hairpin?"
"Madam, you have good taste!" The boss's first words were all flattery.
"This jade hairpin is made entirely of jasper, and is very rare. If you want it, five taels of silver will do!"
So expensive!
Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but shout in her heart.
But then I thought, now that I’m working with Meng Hetang, I’ve saved the money to buy a shop, so buying a hairpin is nothing!
"Okay, you help me wrap it up first."
I walked around twice more and picked out two more pairs of earrings.
"How much in total?"
The boss said enthusiastically: "The total is six taels of silver. Since you are unfamiliar with me, I will give you a discount. You can pay five taels and five cents. If you want to buy jewelry in the future, I hope you can come back to patronize us."
He is a boss who knows how to do business. Jiang Xiaohe thanked him with a smile and promised to come again in the future.
Seeing that she could no longer hold the things in her hands, Jiang Xiaohe prepared to go back to the inn.
But when I arrived at the inn, I saw Manager Chen and Zhang Qingshan standing at the door. Next to them on the ground were their bags?
He quickly walked up and asked, "What happened?"
When Shopkeeper Chen saw that it was her, he quickly changed his tone and said, "Madam, we are not allowed to stay in this inn anymore."
Jiang Xiaohe looked at the waiter and the boss next to him.
"Boss, why is this happening? We paid money, and we are not living here for free, why are you kicking us out?"
The boss looked embarrassed: "Madam, did you offend someone from the Chamber of Commerce?"
Shopkeeper Chen and Jiang Xiaohe looked at each other...
Seeing that they did not deny it, the boss sighed and said, "We all rely on the Chamber of Commerce for our livelihood. You have provoked them. They have issued an order and we have no way to do anything."
"We can just stay for one night and leave early tomorrow morning?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would not make money? Let alone one night, even if I let you stay for a quarter of an hour longer, I will lose this inn."
Seeing that he also looked anxious and embarrassed, Jiang Xiaohe didn't want to say anything more.
"Okay, take our things, Qingshan, go to the back and drive the carriage out."
When the boss saw that they were willing to leave and stop pestering them, he said sorry and thank you several times to them.
The onlookers were all looking at them and pointing.
Jiang Xiaohe gritted her teeth, only hating her current inability...
He clenched his fists and carried his things into the carriage.
"Ma'am, where are we going now?"
It's almost dark now, and it's impossible to go back to town.
"I believe that other inns will not take us in. Why don't we head out of the county and see if we can find a place to sleep and return to town early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Qingshan nodded and drove the carriage out of the city...
