109 Commander’s Seal (1)
Su Xiaoxiao looked up. “Shen Chuan?”
Shen Chuan said, “You’re a busy person now! Your business is getting bigger and bigger. Don’t forget me!”
“Thanks to you.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly. She thought of something and asked, “Didn’t you say that you were going to study in the prefecture capital before the New Year? When are you leaving?”
Shen Chuan sighed. “Tomorrow.”
Su Xiaoxiao took in his expression and asked, “You don’t seem to want to go.”
Shen Chuan waved his fan helplessly. “Isn’t it the same studying anywhere? My father teaches well.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Dean Shen probably wants you to go out and gain experience.”
Shen Chuan closed his fan. “What you said makes sense. Thinking about it this way, I’m not so against going to the prefecture capital! Moreover, the prefecture capital is not far. I can get there in a day if I ride fast. I can come back in ten days.”
Su Xiaoxiao had always heard in the village that the prefecture capital was as far as it was. It took ten days to half a month to walk. It turned out that it only took a day by carriage.
This was probably the difference in resources between prodigies and ordinary people.
Shen Chuan patted his fan. “It’s a pity that I didn’t get to eat your snacks!”
Actually, he could have queued up, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave way to the customer behind him several times.
He hoped that her business would improve. He hoped that her snacks would be eaten by more customers.
However, he regretted it now.
If he had known… he would have let one less guest move ahead of him.
“Here.” Su Xiaoxiao took out a bag of snacks from the basket.
“Aren’t you sold out?” Shen Chuan asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “We’re sold out, but this is not for sale. It’s a gift for my friend.”
This little girl could always surprise people.
Shen Chuan happily took the snack and looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few more times.
Just now, Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by people, so he couldn’t see her clearly. Now that he was closer, he realized that Miss Su seemed different from before.
She… looked better.
How could a scholar like him comment on a girl’s appearance in his heart?
It was very rude!
Shen Chuan was mainly here to say goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao today. He had originally planned to go to her house, but when he thought about how she was already married, he was worried that he would cause many misunderstandings if he frequented her house.
Speaking of which, why was she married?
“I almost forgot when I was talking to you. Young Master Xiang asked me to ask you if he needs to continue taking his medicine after eating it. If you’re free, can you go to the Academy to do a follow-up for him?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Okay, I’ll go over later.”
Shen Chuan still had to say goodbye to his other classmates and took his leave first.
Liu Ping brought the donkey over and closed the stall with the siblings.
Suddenly, a waiter from Jin Ji walked over with a dark expression.
He said coldly, “You’re not allowed to sell snacks here anymore!”
“Why?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
He pointed at the ground with his nose. “This is Jin Ji’s territory! Jin Ji has the final say!”
Su Ergou said, “We didn’t sell it at the entrance of Jin Ji!”
The assistant threatened, “You can’t go anywhere near Jin Ji! Otherwise, you’ll be chased out every time we see you!”
Su Ergou put the unfinished pancake back into the paper bag and rolled up his sleeves, showing his true colors as a bully. “Who are you chasing away? Say it again if you have the guts!”
“Ergou, come back.” Su Xiaoxiao called out to Su Ergou.
Su Ergou gritted his teeth and glared at the assistant before returning to Su Xiaoxiao’s side.
Seeing that the two of them did not attack him, the assistant treated it as if the two of them were afraid. He sneered and flicked his sleeve. “You’re on your own! Don’t let me see you again!”
Su Ergou said gloomily, “Sister! Why didn’t you let me beat him up? Even if they came seven or eight more times like last time, I wouldn’t have lost!”
He had learned a few moves from his brother-in-law!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No need.”
Liu Ping advised, “Yes, he’s just an errand boy. It’s useless for you to beat him up.”
Su Ergou said angrily, “Then I’ll go beat up Manager Sun!”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It wasn’t Manager Sun. After Manager Sun left, there is a new manager whose surname is He. He should have brought that assistant over just now. He looks unfamiliar.”
Su Ergou muttered, “What is Jin Ji doing? Why did they suddenly change the shopkeeper? The new person is even worse than Shopkeeper Sun!”
At the very least, Manager Sun had never chased them away. It was not that Manager Sun was very kind. When he forced them to sell the formula, Manager Sun had also used some dishonorable methods.
