Mu Qingshan was a little dizzy, and his eyes widened in surprise and joy.

"Ms. Jiang, did you promise me?"

Jiang Qingxue rolled her eyes at him angrily and raised her handkerchief.

"What did I promise you? Don't think too much, okay? I'm selling the inn to you, not myself. I'm really drunk. Let's wait until you sober up."

Mu Qingshan was obviously a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up. Why did Jiang Qingxue look for him instead of someone else? This showed that he was different in her heart and she trusted him.

"I can't afford your inn. If you don't want to show your face, I can stay and help you. You can pay me whatever you want. It's enough to have food to eat and a place to sleep."

Seeing that his words were serious, Jiang Qingxue waved her hand very generously.

"Hey, if you don't have that much money on hand, I'll give it to you when you have it, or you can pay it in installments. I'm not afraid of that, so what are you afraid of?"

Even though this inn is full of guests every day, it actually doesn't make much money at all. If you have time to earn this hard-earned money, you might as well let Xiao Fuzi steal it at night, which will be enough for her for the rest of her life.

Mu Qingshan was a little confused. He felt that things were not that simple. The business of Huifeng Building was good, why was it suddenly sold? Do you still have to sell it to him?

"Let me think about it."

Jiang Qingxue held up her little face and smiled lazily and seductively.

"Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Mu Qingshan's heart was filled with excitement, and he went upstairs without saying a word. He went back to his room and took stock of his belongings. With only a few dozen taels of silver, he was still far from being able to buy this inn.

Jiang Qingxue chuckled, it wouldn't matter if this shabby inn was given to him, she was going to be the chief minister's wife, how could she take such a small amount of money seriously.

In the evening, she sent someone to bring charcoal fire and hot water to Su Yun as usual. After thinking about it, she also asked someone to send a portion to Mu Qingshan.

However, she never harassed Su Yun again, and Su Yun never went out again. Even three meals a day were served by the book boy downstairs.

……

On the third day, the wind and snow finally stopped.

Su Yun went downstairs to settle the accounts for the past few days, including the charcoal fire money. He thanked Jiang Qingxue and turned around to leave the inn.

Jiang Qingxue snorted coldly.

"You are really brave, and you won't take any advantage."

He wanted to draw a clear line with her, but she had to get entangled with him.

As soon as Su Yun left the inn, he saw a boy about ten years old, holding two donkeys, standing in the snow and blocking his way with a smile.

"Master Su, are you going to Beijing on foot? Do you want to ride a donkey?"

Su Yun touched his pockets. He had just paid for the house. Three of the four pockets were empty. One pocket contained the northwest wind. How could he afford a donkey? He said calmly.

"I can't ride it."

Xiao Fuzi stopped teasing him and got straight to the point.

"This is what Mrs. Jiang is giving to you. Hurry up and ride to Beijing to take the exam. You will be very prosperous in the future, but don't forget to mention our lady."

Su Yun's eyes changed slightly and she waved her hands hurriedly.

"No, how can this be done?"

He did not allow Xiao Fuzi to speak any more and walked past him. The book boy was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly followed him. The two of them walked far away, and the book boy looked back several times.

"Sir, that donkey is really strong. Why don't you want it? I think Mrs. Jiang has no ill intentions. She just likes you. She also has a good heart."

Su Yun didn't speak and walked faster.

When Jiang Qingxue went out, Su Yun had already gone far.

"Humph, you went and drove the carriage."

She had been prepared for the past two days. Not only had she prepared dry food and transportation for Su Yun on the road, but she had also prepared thick cotton clothes and a spacious and comfortable carriage for him.

Xiao Fuzi drove the carriage again, and Jiang Qingxue also got on the carriage. She had not been out since she came here, and she just happened to go out for a walk today.

Su Yun walked a long way, and did not slow down until he could no longer see the wine shop in Huifeng Tower. It was not that he couldn't understand Madam Jiang's thoughts on him. It is completely understandable for a woman to want to make acquaintance with noble people due to livelihood reasons, but she should not have other thoughts.

Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he saw the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. The horse was running very fast, and its hooves raised a cloud of snow foam. The master and the servant hurriedly moved to the side of the road to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped. Before the two of them could react, they were picked up and roughly thrown into the carriage. When they saw the person clearly, they were shocked.

"Oh it's you."

A boy of about ten years old could actually have such arm strength. He could carry a man in one hand, as well as the books and dry food in the basket, and he didn't miss anything at all.

Xiao Fuzi raised the whip in his braided hand, and the horse ran faster.

"Brother Fu, I'm happy today. I'll give you a ride by the way. Sit down."

Su Yun and Shutong had no choice but to get into the carriage. As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Qingxue sitting upright with a smile on her body, wearing a luxurious fox fur, holding a Tang Pozi in her hand. There was also a charcoal basin placed in the carriage. He was simmering hot tea.

Jiang Qingxue leaned on the pillow and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Su, we meet again so soon."

Su Yun had a headache, but she still thanked him gently and politely.

"Thanks to Mrs. Jiang for your love, Su is grateful!"

Jiang Qingxue stretched out a pair of clear white hands, poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and pushed it over with a smile.

"Young Master Su, there is no need to be polite. We businessmen are all about trust. Since I promised to give you a ride, how can I go back on my words?"

Su Yun put the book basket aside and sat across from Jiang Qingxue unnaturally. If he had known this, he might as well have ridden the two little donkeys on the road.

Jiang Qingxue stopped talking and sipped tea with half-closed eyes. When she was done, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them lazily, as if she really just had a sudden kindness and wanted to do a good deed.

The carriage took the official road, and when it got dark, it finally arrived at the next stop, the inn. Su Yun was a civil servant, so it didn't cost any money to stay at the official inn. It only cost money to eat.

Jiang Qingxue took out an ingot of five taels of silver and slapped it on the counter proudly.

"Two upper rooms, and a table of good food and wine, there's no need to look for the rest."

The people living in the inn were either official servants or people who were going to Beijing, and everyone looked at them sideways when they heard the news.

Jiang Qingxue was beautiful, luxuriously dressed, and had a sweet and melodious voice. She attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered. Some people saw her smiling and laughing with Su Yun, and they were even more envious.

The waiter glanced at a few people and sang loudly.

"Okay, two upper rooms and a table with good food and wine."

This poor white-faced boy had kidnapped a beautiful daughter of unknown family. It was so cold that he was willing to follow him all the way to Beijing. He was really lucky.
