The Regent's Tender Darling

In the afternoon, Lin Jiaojiao returned to the palace, but Yan Sihan seemed to have entered the palace for some reason.

"Your Majesty, you are back. My servants have already taken care of the wine shop." Xuemei greeted her with a smile.

So fast? Lin Jiaojiao was a little surprised. She held a large handful of red plums in her hand. She went to the Plum Pond Pavilion to admire the newly bloomed red plums and also picked up some half-opened buds.

Xuemei took the red plum branch from her hand and handed it to the girls who came to join in the fun. She did not forget to say: "Take it and find a bottle to plug it in."

Then he helped her go inside and said as he walked: "My slave gave the money to shopkeeper Yao. Shopkeeper Yao worked quickly. He negotiated the price with Aunt Hua's husband and shipped all the wine to the shop. It's just that the pear blossoms are brewing. We can only make wine after the pear blossoms bloom in spring. Now we only have grain wine and some old wine from the original shop.”

Then Xuemei smiled and said: "Now that everything is ready, we just need to set a good date to open the business."

"Have you recovered from the wild dog's injuries?" Lin Jiaojiao asked.

Xuemei was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "I think it looks good, my slave. After all, most of them are weak due to long-term hunger. When I went to see them today, I found that most of them were already busy, and all of them had smiling faces. Looks energetic too.”

Then Xuemei thought of something and said strangely: "They only smile when they see the slave. When the slave speaks to them, they just smile, as if they can't speak."

"Well, most of them were tortured with charcoal fire in Dali Temple and became mute."

At this point, Lin Jiaojiao sighed helplessly. If she could have gone earlier, she might have been able to save them, but now it was too late to say anything.

Xuemei was silent, feeling mixed emotions in her heart for a moment. These people were all wronged, but they were still tortured.

Thinking of those people's smiling faces now, she just felt sad. These people were so pitiful.

After entering the dormitory, Lin Jiaojiao looked at the recent almanac. The best day for opening is tomorrow, and she will have to wait half a month after that.

Xuemei said: "Why don't we open tomorrow? I'll buy a spot next to the notice board. Today, shopkeeper Yao said that everyone can't sit still."

"Hmm..." Lin Jiaojiao hesitated, tapping her fingertips on the table, making a crisp sound.

Xuemei also became quiet and stood aside quietly waiting for her mother-in-law to think.

In the end, Lin Jiaojiao agreed to Xuemei's proposal. It had been cold recently and they were close to celebrate the New Year, so there must be some business.

She saw that the people in the Wild Dog Gang were very ambitious, and it seemed more comfortable for them to make their own money than for her to give them alms.

"Then let's do it tomorrow, have everything been arranged?" Lin Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Xuemei. She hadn't been to the wine shop in the past two days, and she didn't know how the wine shop was doing now.

Xuemei said with a smile: "Everything has been arranged. I originally sent someone to take care of it, but you don't know how capable Shopkeeper Yao is, and how he arranged everything neatly."

When she heard this, it seemed that these people from the Wild Dog Gang were quite active. At the same time, she thought of Li Maonian. Because of the sudden appearance of the Wild Dog Gang, she didn't think about it so much for a while, so she asked: "What about Li Maonian?" ?”

"I heard that shopkeeper Yao said that he stayed behind closed doors all day long, and He Hua took the initiative to bring the food in. The servant looked at He Hua and was able to say a few words to Li Maonian." It was just He Hua who was talking alone, and Li Maonian didn't respond.

And she specifically asked about shopkeeper Yao Li Maonian. After all, Li Maonian's deeds were her favorite storyteller in the past.
