e Lord nodded, "Good, you've worked hard. If there's something in the manor, send someone to report it to the estate.""Yes, Master Hou," the steward replied. Jia Yin waved her hand, warmly inviting hi...The old woman sneered, “No need. That killer surnamed Ye is back.”

If we overdo it, that killer might just incite the one ahead to take action prematurely, which would be detrimental to us.

We still need to wait a little longer, best to get that little girl in our grasp. Didn't the killer and the Li family treat her like their prized possession

"At that time, probe around and see if it's true or false. If it's fake, then forget about it. But if it's real, we'll have the key to victory, and things will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!"

"The master is wise!" The old eunuch hurriedly bowed his head, then quietly slipped out...

In the backyard of the Li family's old house, Jia Yin sneezed loudly. She then nonchalantly rubbed her nose and continued listing items.

Shui Ling ground the ink, and Shui Yun brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge, softly persuading her, "Miss, have some food first before you continue working."

"Before Old Madam left, she told me to make bird's nest soup for you every day, just in case you weren't taking good care of yourself."

Jia Yin frowned, but she still finished the bird's nest porridge in one gulp.

Actually, she really didn't think swallow saliva had any nutrition. She'd rather eat more of the Space Station's fruit and vegetables.

But this is Grandma's loving heart, she doesn't want to disappoint.

Especially now that the old lady is still not home, calculating the distance, it should be over a hundred miles away…

Shuiling was quick-witted. Seeing her mistress's absentminded gaze, she guessed what the mistress was thinking and quickly smiled and asked, "Miss, should we prepare a large box"

"After the shop opens, there will surely be a constant flow of silver like a river. Just thinking about it makes my heart race!"

As expected, Jia Yin smiled, “Of course, you can go to the warehouse and pick one yourself in a while.”

Having said that, she shook the list in her hand.

To make a grand entrance, she spared no expense.

Some rare fruits that are not often eaten at home on weekdays will also be displayed at the shop this time.

She wasn't afraid of what others might think or say.

Because Lao He and his group have been traveling all over the place these past few years, bringing back many exotic fruits. They occasionally even offer them to the palace, and this is no secret.

Moreover, when opening a business, having topics to discuss creates buzz, and with buzz comes prosperity!

The master and his two servants were so busy that they didn't finish until late at night. The next day, the goods were delivered to the new shop one after another.

Eggs and some durable fruits like apples, pears, and mandarins are the first batch and also the largest in terms of shipment volume.

Besides, Shuiling also went into the city.

She brought a lot of invitations and delivered them one by one to the well-connected families in Li's household.

The invitees were the women of these families, such as Mrs. Liu, the mother and daughter of Madam Jia Er, the members of the Gu family and the Xing family, as well as young ladies like Gu Qingqing, Xu Xi, and Mei Lan.

It's customary for friends and family to show their support by visiting a newly opened business. It's not an unreasonable request.

And these people, who were always happy to accept fruit baskets from the Li family, naturally came down with great enthusiasm.

On the third day, which was also the opening day of the market, the village head led people to harvest vegetables in the warm house. They cleaned them up neatly and packed them into baskets and carts before covering them with old quilts to keep them warm.

Jiao Yin also had several baskets carried out from the warm rooms behind the county princess's mansion...

Facing the slowly rising sun, the Li family's carriage entered the city.

The soldiers at the city gate were used to looking down on people and didn't usually check Li's carriage.

But today, of the three carriages, two were tightly covered. The soldiers did not dare to take risks, so they mustered their courage and wanted to open them up and see what was inside.

The Li family didn't make things difficult for them. They cheerfully threw back the quilt, revealing a variety of fruits and vibrant green vegetables underneath.

Many people entering and leaving the city were surprised and curious to see a touch of green on such a winter day.

Thus, news of the Li family's new shop spread even before its official opening.

People with nothing to do, even followed carriages all the way to the commercial street.

The four glass windows of the fruit and vegetable shop were wiped clean, so clean that if you didn't look closely, you might think it was empty.

A newly made plaque hung at the edge of the window, covered by a large red silk cloth, which even blocked half of the glass.

Two large signs were hung on both sides of the doors, indicating that the left side was for entering and the right side was for exiting.

The Li family's carriage was parked in front of the house, large baskets of vegetables and fruits were carried down and then brought into the shop one after another.

Seven or eight boys and girls, all dressed in new sky-blue clothes, deftly arranged the vegetables and fruits on the shelves.

The new shopkeeper was under thirty years old, named Zhao Hui. He was slightly plump and had a smiling face that made people feel happy when they saw him.

When Li Zhensheng was still living in the Wang family, he was the steward by Wang's side. He was diligent, honest, and loyal.

This time, if it wasn't for his niece asking him for the first time to stay with them, Li Zhensheng wouldn't have been willing to let Zhao Hui stay.

Of course, Zhao Hui's family was all in Xindu. His mother was getting older, and Zhao Hui wanted to filial piety promptly. He wasn't willing to follow Li Zhensheng all the way to Quanzhou.

In short, Zhao Hui cherishes this opportunity. He moved to the backyard of the shop last night and even personally cleaned both inside and outside of the shop early in the morning.

Jia Yin today wore men's clothing, a long robe of indigo silk embroidered with cloud patterns, a jade belt around her waist, her long hair stood up and pinned with green jade. She had no ornaments on her ears or hands, only a small leather bag slung diagonally across her shoulder.

The bag is small, purely black, made of cowhide, hanging at the right hip. It can only hold some small items, but the chain is dazzling gold, very eye-catching.

Set off by a dark-colored tunic, Jia Yin, this "little boy", stands out even more, appearing tall and elegant with an air of nobility.

Even Guli, who wasn't an outsider, couldn't help but steal a few glances at her attire.

Mu Xu, whether intentionally or not, brought in a basket of lychees, blocking Gu Li's line of sight. He smiled and asked, "County Princess, where did the lychees come from"

Jia Yin led him to the most prominent spots by the window, “Put it here!”

Shui Ling and Shui Yun quickly tidied up the wicker basket and settled the lychees inside.

Soon, the originally empty shop was filled.

Jia Yin clapped her hands, motioning for everyone to gather around. She then said, "Since it's our opening day, we're sure to be very busy. Everyone, please perk up! Once the evening accounts are settled, we'll all have a reward!"

"Thank you, host!"

"Don't worry, host!"

Everyone responded with a laugh, raising their heads and chests, spirits high.

Jia Yin casually called over two young boys and girls responsible for the fruit stall.

She pretended to be a customer, inquired about the prices, and even made a fuss saying the fruits didn't taste good.

The two boys and the girl were pretty good, they provided consistently smiling service, spoke eloquently, and responded appropriately.

Jia Yin only then completely relaxed, and she called Zhao Hui out the door together.

Outside, even more onlookers had gathered, stretching their necks and craning their legs, all wanting to get a glimpse through the half-glass window.

Jia Yin didn't keep them waiting long and said cheerfully, "Honorable guests, fellow villagers, our little shop is officially opening today. We sell the freshest vegetables and fruits from Tianwu, guaranteeing excellent value for money and sure to please everyone."

"Because the goods are valuable, there is no discount for guests. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Having said that, she waved her hand, and an old soldier lit the firecrackers.

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Jia Yin and Zhao Hui joined forces to tear down the red silk curtain from the plaque...
