C24 Kid Is Clever

Jiang Wan was upset on the way back. She knew Tonghua County was barren, but she didn't expect it to be this barren. There weren't any shops, and even the necessities of food, clothing, and accommodation didn't seem that much.

However, this only served to increase her sense of business opportunity.

If the price was the same, then the items he sold would be better. Even if the business would not be booming, it would definitely not be bad.

Jiang Wan didn't pay much attention to the road as she was thinking about it. It was only when Mrs Huo reminded her that she realized it was Hu Tong's turn.

"Elder sister, it's getting late. I've troubled you to follow me around for the entire day. Next time, I'll invite you to my residence to properly entertain me."

Jiang Wan sincerely invited Mrs Huo.

Mrs Huo subconsciously looked into the alley with hesitation on her face. "Little Wan, there's a question I would like to ask …"

"Sis, please speak." Jiang Wan had already known that Mrs Huo wanted to ask something, so she nodded with a smile.

"You …"

Mrs Huo looked into the depths of the alley. "You said that you had just arrived here, and your surname is Jiang. I don't know who your family is …"

"To be honest, my husband's surname is Qin, and my husband's name is Qin. He was appointed to the county magistrate of Tonghua County."

Seeing that she was going to say no more, Jiang Wan bluntly stated her identity in a gentler voice than before, "But elder sister, you don't have to worry. My husband is a good man and he wants to become a good official even more."

"Madam is being too modest."

Mrs Huo bowed deeply to her. "This humble woman greets Madam."

"Sister, you're being too polite. I'm not saying my identity. I don't want to be on the same level as you. I just want to be honest with you."

Jiang Wan extended a hand to support Mrs Huo, refusing to let her bow down. Her words were filled with helplessness.

Mrs Huo stood up, but her tone was even more respectful. "Madam is a nobleman of the capital, how can she not have a sense of respect?"

"It would be strange if you said that."

Jiang Wan sighed, "Outsiders only know how good things are in the capital, but I don't know how hard it is inside, and what is not expensive. If elder sister continues like this, I'm afraid I won't be happy."

Mrs Huo noticed that Jiang Wan was not the kind of person to be strict with rules and regulations, so she smiled and said, "Since Madam says so, then I will be bold."

"That's more like it."

After bidding farewell to Mrs Huo, Jiang Wan carried the things she bought from the grocery store back to the mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Little Zhuangzi come over: "Madam, why did you mention it yourself? If I knew this would happen, I would have gone with you in the morning."

"So what?" Jiang Wan passed the items to him. "It's just some junk, it's not that heavy. Besides, there aren't many people in the mansion anyway, and I still need to point at you guys who are in charge of the guard duty."

This time, only a few rooms had followed them since they had been demoted to the border. Other than Little Zhuangzi, who temporarily received the position of butler, and Zhuqing, who was beside Qin Si, there were only a few male servants.

Little Zhuangzi held the things and said respectfully: "No matter what, I can't let you go out alone. Master will know later, I'm afraid I have to reprimand this servant."

Jiang Wan smiled, knowing that Little Zhuangzi also meant well.

As the two of them spoke, they had already entered the Dazzling Flower Sect. With only a few people at the Qin Family, they did not care about the complicated rules anymore.

When they were almost to Mrs Zhang's courtyard, Jiang Wan saw a small figure running towards them from afar.

Taking a closer look, it was indeed Miss Qing.

Not only did Miss Qing not run, she even shouted at the top of her lungs, "Little Aunt, where did you go? Miss Qing didn't see you for a whole day, you must be tired of living!"

"Aiyo, look, isn't this our Little Miss Qing?"

Jiang Wan squatted down with a smile, opened her arms and hugged the little girl, then pinched the tip of her nose lovingly. "It's only the second day since we've arrived at our new home, yet you've already ran and shouted. Aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

"No way! The new house is so small, it's not even as big as the yard of Little Uncle's Little Aunt! " Miss Qing giggled as she dodged Jiang Wan's chilly fingertip.

The words of a child were unrestrained, but they were filled with grief when they heard the ears of an adult.

Jiang Wan secretly sighed, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Really? How about you buy a big house for us, Miss Qing, after Auntie earns the money? "

"Good, good, good!"

In the end, she was still young, so she didn't know much about it. As soon as Miss Qing heard that they could have a mansion, she immediately narrowed her eyes happily and clapped her hands.

Jiang Wan stood up and led Miss Qing into the courtyard. A group of people had long since heard the commotion and came out.

"Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I'm back."

Jiang Wan handed Miss Qing over to the wet nurse and greeted Mrs Zhang and the others politely.

It wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a bad idea.

Mrs Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to support her. With a face full of rebuke, she said, "Silly child, why are you still bowing at a time like this? Family members, there's no need to be so fussy. Never ever again."

"Yes, Mother." Jiang Wan replied with a smile.

On the other side, Little Chixi, who was carried by Mrs Xu, seemed to have noticed his mother's return. His originally big round eyes immediately squinted as he started to howl loudly.

Mrs Xu and Mrs Chen looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Look at this little rascal, he didn't cry all day, but he's still standing in front of me. He's probably crying, and he's probably complaining to Little Wan."

"Brat, be smart."

Jiang Wan smiled and nodded at her son's forehead. She then took the child from Mrs Xu's bosom and entered the house.
