Ling Chaofeng teased her: "If you don't have enough space to stay, then why don't you vacate our house?"

Xiaowan was so innocent, she agreed immediately: "As long as you follow your husband, you can live anywhere."

Ling Chaofeng smiled, and held her hand as they stood by the side of the road. Not long after, the merchant caravan approached, and the few people in the lead were all very happy to see Ling Chaofeng. They clasped their fists and greeted him, and Mu Xiaowan's new face naturally attracted their attention.

"This is my wife's Xiaowan." Ling Chaofeng introduced to the others, "You are still young, I hope Boss Feng can give us some pointers."

The man surnamed Feng opened his eyes wide, and immediately said to the person beside him, "No way, we didn't even prepare a wedding gift." It's all Ling Chaofeng's fault, "When did the shopkeeper get married? Why didn't he wait a little longer? to buy us a cup of wine. "

Ling Chaofeng did not mind, and stepped aside: "The shops are already prepared, according to the old rules, we should rest first."

Xiaowan saw that there were four to five carriages from beginning to end, each with two big boxes tied to them, with big locks and seals on them. Four people followed each car, with one person leading a donkey and leading a horse, while the other three stayed at the back and left and right sides of the line. Right now, they were unloading the boxes from the carriages and carefully moving them into the shop.

Since the Xiaowan could not help with the work, she went to the kitchen to help out the Uncle Biao. After listening to the chatter of the Uncle Biao, he finally knew the origins of this group of merchants.

Every year at this time of the year, they would come here to sell rare items from other countries. They were brought to the capital and sold to officials and nobles.

"At this time of year, he will definitely come." The Aunt Zhang said, "We have to return to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital city or the Imperial Palace will have countless banquets. There is nothing rare about the few nations bordering our Daqi. We must take a boat and go further afield to the Western Ocean or the Eastern Ocean to find something that no one has ever seen before. "

Hearing these stories, Xiaowan quickly took out the dishes and chopsticks. Outside, Boss Feng and his brothers had a table, and there were three other tables for the waiters to sit at.

The young warriors were all exhausted, it was as if they had been eating rations for too long, when they saw the dishes made by Uncle Biao, their eyes lit up.

Following that, Boss Feng and the others went upstairs and stayed in the south rooms to rest. The remaining workers split into two groups and made a bunk in the north room. Then, they went to sleep in broad daylight.

Xiaowan was busy taking the dishes and food, she was calculating the room fees in her heart. She heard from Aunt Zhang that it would take half a day to collect and the money to eat here, she could not calculate any further, but she knew, the restaurant had business, once business came, it would be enough for one day to eat for one year.

The group of twenty odd people filled up three large wooden bowls, bowls, chopsticks, and plates. Xiaowan took three buckets of water in one go and sat on the bench with her sleeves rolled up, preparing to go all out.

Seeing the sheets she had washed last night still fluttering in the wind, she pointed at the wooden shed and chanted, "Wash it yourself. Quickly wash it and quickly fly up …"

"What is this silly child doing?" When the Aunt Zhang came out, he was amused by Xiaowan's chatter. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Don't be afraid, let's bathe together. It will be done very soon."

Xiaowan also laughed. It must be because she was dizzy and dizzy yesterday, so she must have forgotten about that matter.

There were three big bowls and chopsticks, and the two of them washed for an hour. Aunt Zhang kept asking if she was tired.

Although Xiaowan had not washed so many bowls in one go before, she still worked when she was home, only laying down when it was late at night and her family was asleep. Unable to stop her hand, the stepmother panted slightly before waving her broom and coming over. She could bear the hardships, but she was not afraid of tiredness. When she had no guests two days ago, she had felt rather depressed.

"Last night, I sprayed some medicine, but this morning, I didn't see a single one of them die from poison. The rats these days have all become sages." Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan carried the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen and said, "Don't be afraid. If you keep the pill with you, they won't dare to come."

Walking into the Main Hall, suddenly, Xiaowan heard the sound of the door slamming heavily upstairs, as if there was a quarrel. The person who appeared in the corridor, Xiaowan remembered that she seemed to be Boss Feng's younger brother.

His face was full of hostility and he glared fiercely at Xiaowan. Xiaowan quickly retracted her gaze and followed him into the kitchen.

"Evening, the store is full of men. Don't be alone with me or with me or with the shopkeeper." The Aunt Zhang warned the Xiaowan, "It doesn't matter what personality others have, it's always good to be careful."

As expected, when Ling Chaofeng entered the kitchen, due to what happened just now, he warned everyone to not bother with the other people in the caravan. When he saw the Xiaowan standing there smiling, he said: "It's you who meddles in other people's business."

Xiaowan was not convinced at all, she wanted to retort, but she could see that Uncle Biao and the others were happily watching the scene. As if they wanted to see the couple bickering, she blushed and glanced at Ling Chaofeng unhappily, before turning around to put away his bowl and chopsticks.

The people of the caravan needed to sleep until night to not eat lunch, but after noon to prepare their dinner, Xiaowan followed Aunt Zhang to the back door to pick up some vegetables to wash. Speaking of what happened these past few days, she said: "Morning, Ershan and I will sweep the ground outside the door.

Aunt Zhang laughed: "I'm afraid that once you enter our inn, you will be chopped into meat buns."

Xiaowan laughed and said in a normal tone: "But they didn't like me before. The villagers all said that my life was too hard and that my family had died. When I was young, the children learned from adults and bullied me whenever they saw me. When I grew up, I became more good-looking, but the boys treated me better, occasionally stuffing me with fruits or something. But if their mother sees it, she will drag me home to complain, causing me to be beaten by her. "

When the Aunt Zhang heard this, she frowned. She washed the pear and gave it to the Xiaowan for her to eat, then said with a pained heart: "Your village people have bad hearts, it's fine that they don't return. Since they are married out, we will never return. With the shopkeeper here, we'll see who dares to even touch you once. "

Xiaowan held onto a pear. A few days ago, she had seen some delicious things, and was reluctant to eat them. These two days, she had really eaten too much.

Aunt's words were so kind, why were all the women in the village so mean? Was she a fool? A few days ago, she was so noisy and even dared to run away. She almost missed out on so many good people and almost let down the good days the heavens had arranged for her.

"Aunt, it's about time. Let's send some water in." Ershan ran to the back door and said, "They should get up."

Thus, the Xiaowan helped out together, fetching some water to send upstairs so that the guests could get up and wash up.

She and Ershan brought the water inside, and came over from the two northern rooms. She wanted the workers to get up first, so that Boss Feng could order them around anytime.

Xiaowan was guarding a bucket of wood as she waited in the hallway. Suddenly, she saw the door to the southern building being kicked open and a man with a completely scarlet face shouting, "Someone, come!"

Xiaowan looked at him blankly. When the person saw him, he pointed at her and shouted, "You, come over here." But when he saw that the Xiaowan did not move, he became furious and ran over in a hurry, reeking of alcohol.

Xiaowan retreated step by step. Just as she was about to be caught, her husband's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He blocked her path high up in the air, her tone cold but polite: "Second Master Feng, you're drunk."

However, the drunkard was unconvinced, and wanted to fight with Ling Chaofeng, so he shouted and alarmed everyone. After a fight, he was carried back by the people, and he was drunk to the point of being unconscious, so he quickly fell asleep.

Aunt Zhang was still used to it, she swiftly collected all the wine bottles in the house and changed her breathing, but she was already brought back to Ling Chaofeng's room. When she saw her husband again, she did not scold her like last time to meddle in her business. Don't be afraid, he's just drunk. "

Xiaowan shook her head: "I'm not afraid."

Ling Chaofeng said with a gentle smile, "You are becoming more and more capable."

Afterwards, because Second Master Feng had fallen asleep, the inn was very quiet. The waiters were drinking tea and chatting below, but no one shouted loudly.

When Xiaowan came out with the dishes, she heard Boss Feng say to Ling Chaofeng that she brought some good wine from Dongyang and wanted to go to the cellar to open the boxes together. She said that she wanted to give them to him as a wedding present.

Unexpectedly, something big happened. Second Master Feng, who was lying on the ground in front of the cellar of the inn, was bleeding profusely from all seven orifices.

Xiaowan only remembered that the people in the caravan were in a mess, she watched them coldly from behind the counter. At night, the people in the yamen came, and after half a day of work, they finally saw Ling Chaofeng following them.

"Hubby?" Xiaowan panicked and woke up to chase to the door.

The Fast Catcher said coldly: "Manager Ling, come with us."

Xiaowan was so frightened that her entire body was trembling. She grabbed Ling Chaofeng's sleeves and begged those people: "Don't capture my husband, he didn't kill anyone."
