Early the next morning, Gu Dingyu borrowed a bullock cart from the village chief's house. This time, Yang Laosan, Li Tiezhu, Gu Dingyu and Yang Jinfan were going to the town. Qian Qinyi volunteered to stay and take care of the two children.
Girl, she can learn more knowledge from the Master.
Yang Jinfan didn't say anything. Originally, she wanted to stay at home, but it had been a while since she last went to town. It was time to go back to ask for news and see how efficient Xu Yuxiang was.
The journey was not boring because of Yang Jinfan, a talkative little girl. It didn't take long for them to arrive in the town. Just like last time, they first went to the wonton shop to eat a bowl of wontons. In order to avoid the trouble last time
When something happened again, Gu Dingyu personally took the three of them there. Yang Jinfan followed the three grown men, feeling completely safe.
After eating wontons, Gu Dingyu arranged for Yang Jinfan to stay at the pharmacy where she bought medicine last time, and told her not to run around. They came back soon and asked the pharmacy shopkeeper to help look after the little girl, and then the three of them went out to look for her.
People were making beds, tables and chairs.
The shopkeeper was busy calculating the accounts. Seeing that she was a smart little girl, he felt a little less anxious about helping others to look after the children. He asked the little medicine boy to bring two plates of snacks and a bowl of sugar water and put them in front of Yang Jinfan. Yang Jinfan sat down obediently.
There, the shopkeeper didn't pay much attention and continued to make calculations. The little medicine boy also continued to go back to the pharmacy to be busy.
Yang Jinfan looked around, and when she saw the right opportunity, she slipped out without anyone paying attention. She found the Xu family's clothing store by a familiar route. Seeing that the store door was open and the number of customers was much greater than before, Yang Jinfan took a look.
After looking around, I didn't see Xu Yuxiang. There was an unfamiliar face in front of the counter. I was afraid it would be too eye-catching, so I went in through the back door and went straight to the second floor.
There was simply no one else on the second floor. Xu Yuxiang was sitting on the second floor settling accounts, pursing his lips and smiling from time to time.
Yang Jinfan said aloud: "What are you looking at, the boss lady, so happy?"
Xu Yuxiang was so focused on looking at the account book that he didn't notice anyone coming. He was startled by the sudden noise. He looked up and saw Yang Jinfan. He breathed a sigh of relief, put down the account book, stood up with a smile and greeted him.
"Who did I think it was? It turns out to be the little boss!"
Xu Yuxiang took a closer look at what Yang Jinfan was wearing today. They were the clothes he took away from her last time. The light yellow thin spring shirt made her fair skin more translucent. Her long black hair was only combed and tied in a simple bun.
With two hair knots of the same color and no other decorations, she looks like a noble little fairy boy.
Xu Yuxiang secretly sighed in her heart. She remembered that the last time she saw Xiaodongjia, he was already very noble. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, he was obviously much more delicate than before, with skin that could be broken by a blow, and hair that was black and shiny.
Her hair is even more shiny, and the ordinary fine cloth clothes alone can't cover up her noble aura.
Xu Yuxiang became more and more certain that Yang Jinfan was the pampered daughter of a powerful family in Beijing. She was born into a noble family but was very low-key in her behavior. She did not want others to know her true identity. The eyes she looked at her became more and more respectful. It seemed that she was from the Xu family.
Our ancestors have accumulated virtues, so we can meet such a noble person by accident.
At the same time, she was also glad that last time she did not judge a book based on appearance and drive the noble person out of the store, otherwise the Xu family might really be doomed.
Yang Jinfan didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought that her investment of 1,000 taels had brought Xu's business back to life, so he was extremely grateful to her and didn't think too much about it.
"Shopkeeper Xu, it seems that the business is doing well and you can hire helpers."
Xu Yuxiang smiled and said: "Thanks to my little boss, several of the Xu family's former shops have been redeemed. Although they are not as good as Pinyi Pavilion, the reputation has been there for more than ten years and the business is not bad."
Yang Jinfan nodded with satisfaction and smiled appreciatively at Xu Yuxiang: "Yes, that's right. Shopkeeper Xu is really a hero among women. He does things vigorously and resolutely, and deserves praise."
Xu Yuxiang rolled her eyes happily and bowed softly: "It is the slave's responsibility for the little master to reward me. If the little master hadn't woken up the slave, I would have lost even the last bit of the Xu family's foundation."
"Shopkeeper Xu doesn't need to be too modest. It's just a tiger falling on the plain. The business is booming. I don't know about other things. Is there any news?"
Compared with the quality of business, Yang Jinfan was more concerned about the news about Er Leizi.
"Don't worry, little boss. The slave family will start looking for him after my boss's instructions. We just got the news not long ago that someone saw the young master in a small town on Jiangnan West Road."
Yang Jinfan's heart tightened and he instinctively grabbed Xu Yuxiang's hand with a serious expression.
"Jiangnan West Road? To be specific, how far is it from here?"
Xu Yuxiang saw that Xiaodongjia looked so nervous for the first time and guessed that it was someone very important to her. She stretched out her other hand to cover Yang Jinfan's little hand and patted it twice to show comfort.
"Don't worry, little boss. The men sent out came back and said that the distance is about two hundred miles, but the whereabouts of the young master are not fixed. He has also appeared on the more distant Jiangnan East Road."
"Jiangnan East Road? That's four hundred miles away."
Yang Jinfan frowned, what was he doing running so far away?
Could it be that he is looking for someone?
Xu Yuxiang saw that Yang Jinfan was not in a good state, so he pulled her to sit down and made her a cup of tea. He didn't want to ask too much, but she was really curious.
"Dare I ask my little boss, is this young master a relative of my little boss? If my young master is so concerned about me, he must be a close relative of my little boss!"
Yang Jinfan took the tea cup and took a sip: "Oh, he is my uncle. He has been away from home for almost a month. He has not left any news and his whereabouts are unknown. The family is very worried about him, so they are looking for him."
"No wonder the young master is so anxious. It turns out to be the young master's uncle. Don't worry, the young master already knows the whereabouts of the young master. He is not far away from being found."
