"Madam, wait for me!"

Jian Shiming stood in front of Tao Xi. He was taller than her. When Tao Xi raised her eyes, she could only see his eyebrows. She only reached his chin.

Because of this, Jian Shiming easily put his big hand on the back of her head, and then gently kissed her on the forehead.

Tao Xi wanted to say something, but he just opened his lips and said nothing.

Although this move was a bit outrageous in ancient times, because the two were about to separate, no one cared about it.

Before leaving, Gu Yan said to Tao Xi: "The steward of our Gu family is at Gu's Trading Company. If anything happens, my sister-in-law can go directly to see steward Gu."

"Thank you, sir."

Tao Xi smiled, thinking that was indeed the case, Gu's Trading Company was the Gu family's property, how could there be so many coincidences in the world.

She drove Jian Shiming to the gate of the city in a bullock cart, and Clinker's eyes narrowed slightly in the next second.

I saw the carriage of Mu Mansion coming out not far away, and it was Mu Qiong whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

It's just that she is much more haggard than before. How can a concubine who is hated by her father get better?

Mu Fu smiled and talked to Gu Yan, saying that they wanted to go back to Beijing together. Tao Xi felt a chill in his heart. Does that mean Mu Qiong wanted to go with Jian Shiming?

Her face became a little ugly, Jian Shiming gently pulled her fingertips and rubbed her fingertips.

"Don't worry, madam, I only have eyes for you."

"Um."

Tao Xi felt a little disappointed, but she couldn't do it if she was asked to give up everything at home and accompany Jian Shiming to take the exam.

So Tao Xi rummaged through the system space and found a universal detoxification pill. It was just a little expensive, but it actually cost 500 points!

But thinking about the male protagonist's damn troublesome physique, she gritted her teeth and redeemed it.

Considering Mu Qiong's existence, Tao Xi also exchanged a kind of medicinal powder and quietly stuffed it into Jian Shiming's hand.

"This pill is a universal detoxification pill. This is the only one. Save it for me. There is also a kind of powder. If anyone dares to plot against you, then let her go and never come back!"

She gritted her teeth, obviously very angry. Jian Shiming felt inexplicably happy. Was the lady jealous?

Her jealous look was inexplicably cute, but he couldn't show it in front of Tao Xi, and instead nodded seriously.

"I listen to my wife."

"Um."

Tao Xi lowered her voice and whispered to him, "I put a banknote in the gap of your clothes. Don't wash it out. Take it out when needed."

The two of them were so close that they fell into the eyes of Mu Qiong who was not far away. She was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth.

The previous plan did not succeed, otherwise Tao Xi and Jian Shiming would not be there today.

When her father found out, he punished her severely. She had been having a bad life recently. When she returned to Beijing this time, her father was afraid that he would find someone to marry her off.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiong looked at Tao Xi and Jian Shiming with resentment in her eyes. Unfortunately, the two people were unwilling to pay attention to her at all.

Mu Qiong snorted softly and said to Mu Zhi beside him: "Get in the carriage."

When they travel together, I can't believe that they won't find a chance. She will definitely make Jian Shiming look good by then!

Perhaps sensing his daughter's malicious eyes, Mu's father suddenly glanced at her, with a hidden warning in his eyes.

Over there, Gu Yan also finished reminiscing with Mu Fu, and he walked in front of Tao Xi and the others in a few steps.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Jian."

"Good work!"

Tao Xi nodded slightly, with worry in his eyes, but then he thought about it, the male protagonist did have a troublesome physique, but it also meant that he had the halo of being a male protagonist.

Most disasters will be turned into good fortune. After all, he is the biological son of Heaven, and Jian Shiming will be fine.

Watching Jian Shiming leave, Tao Xi felt depressed and drove the oxcart absentmindedly to find Mrs. Xu.

She went to the shop that was about to be converted into a restaurant. Tao Xi wanted to open a hotpot restaurant here and had just arrived.

Madam Xu saw her with sharp eyes and hurriedly ran out of the house, but she was very reserved and did not show any special expression.

"Scholar lady."

She didn't call Tao Xi's boss outside, after all, there were countless people watching their shop.

Tao Xi thought the same way, looking curious, "Are you planning to re-open?"

"Yes, scholar lady, I need you to take care of business more in the future."

Mrs. Xu had a smile on her face, as if she had really met an acquaintance. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked inside.

Not far away, two men, one tall and one short, stood together and stared, the taller one raising his eyebrows in confusion.

"Hey, why did a little lady come in?"

"Ms. Xu is a girl after all. She is probably one of her relatives and friends."

The short man was chewing beef jerky, a little disapproving. The little lady looked as young as a year old and was wearing coarse linen clothes.

There is absolutely no way she is the new buyer of these shops!

The two of them didn't take it to heart, but Tao Xi was already following Mrs. Xu inside the house to observe the latest situation.

I have to say that Mrs. Xu is very good at doing things. The hot pot shop Tao Xi wants is actually very simple, with a private room on the first floor and a lobby on the second floor.

The decoration is antique, with beautiful lanterns hanging above the head, and the empty space on the wall will be used to hang some murals in the future.

There are exquisite and beautiful flower pots placed on the handrails on the second floor. The private rooms on the second floor are named according to spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The project is only mostly completed, and there are still many details to be dealt with.

Madam Xu walked in front, "There are not many private rooms on the second floor, there are only eight in total, and they are still under renovation."

She took Tao Xi to look at every room, and finally took her into the private room that had been finished.

The elegant room was antique and even had aromatherapy. It had to be said that Tao Xi was very satisfied.

"Master, is there anything else that needs to be corrected?"

Mrs. Xu looked uneasy. It was her first time working for Tao Xi. She hoped that Tao Xi would be satisfied.

Tao Xi nodded with a smile, "You did a good job. Once the repairs are completed, we will find a good time to open the business."

"Okay, boss."

Mrs. Xu's anxious heart was relieved. As long as her boss was satisfied, that would be fine, but Tao Xi still made some suggestions.

"There must be no lack of public latrines in restaurants, and the hygiene inside must be cleaned by then."

"good."

Madam Xu nodded again and asked Tao Xi cautiously: "Master, if we open a restaurant, we have to reserve the ingredients in advance."

"Leave this to me. When it's done here, remember to come to my house to try the food."

Tao Xi thought for a while, and if she wants to make hot pot, she must first experience it, otherwise she won't know how good the hot pot tastes.

Madam Xu nodded hurriedly, but when Tao Xi left, she didn't give it away for fear of attracting attention.

Even when she went to Taomu Village, she was extremely careful every time because she was worried about being watched.

After leaving the restaurant, Tao Xi's depressed mood improved and he went to the market in Yun County to buy some things.

I had the farm tools I needed at home and even bought some kitchen utensils, so I hurried back home.

Thinking of the simple furniture at home, Tao Xi exchanged pots and pans in the space on the way back.

She drove the bullock cart back with a full load, and the atmosphere at home was not very good. When Jian Shiming left, the children were very uncomfortable.
