"It's already afternoon today. Let's find an inn to rest for the night before leaving for Huguang County tomorrow morning."

The carriage was driving on the main street of the county town, and Yang Ruoqing gave orders to Li Daer.

Li Dayer nodded: "Which inn should we stay at?"

Without thinking, Yang Ruoqing directly reported the inn where she and Luo Fengtang stayed at the county town for the first time.

That inn has a special meaning to her and him.

She was even considering buying the inn!

…

"How is it, Qing'er? Is this Tianxiang Tower the same as other Tianxiang Towers?"

Zuo Junmo took Yang Ruoqing to inspect the front and back of the restaurant, then went to the elegant room at the back and asked.

Yang Ruoqing was extremely satisfied and nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

She gave Zuo Junmo a thumbs up: "Brother Zuo, you are awesome. I told you the drawings and business philosophy. You can do it so well. I admire you!"

These words are not flattery, but praise from the heart.

When Yang Ruoqing and Li Daer arrived at the gate of Tianxiang Tower in Huguang County this morning.

I saw the towering two-story pavilion in front of me, the familiar door plaque of the shop, and the endless stream of customers at the door.

It suddenly felt like I was back in Qingshui Town or Xiushui Town.

In fact, because it is a county town, the number of customers coming and going is larger, and the business is more prosperous than in the town.

Zuo Junmo was also very happy when he heard Yang Ruoqing's praise.

"Speaking of restaurants, Brother Yu should be more grateful to you, Sister Qing'er." He said.

"I think back then, Brother Yu used this same location to open an inn, but the business was lukewarm."

"Since I listened to your advice and started a restaurant chain, the business has been booming."

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes from the bottom of his sleeves and placed them in front of Yang Ruoqing.

"This is the dividends from Huguang County Restaurants in the past six months. Please count them."

Yang Ruoqing quickly put down her tea bowl, picked up the two banknotes and looked at the amount on them.

His eyes brightened.

"Hey, girls like this stuff."

Don't be pretentious and take what you deserve into your arms.

Then, she also took out two banknotes from her purse and handed them to Zuo Junmo.

"This is the dividend from the transport team over the past six months, as well as the dividend from the branch building in Xiushui Town. Brother Zuo, please check it out as well."

Zuo Junmo did not refuse and took the banknote with a gentle smile on his face.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "The restaurant over in Licheng is under renovation. It won't open until next year."

"Licheng is the largest city in the south of Daqi, with a large population. When the restaurants there open, we will make more money!"

When it comes to making money, her eyes seem to light up.

A layer of excited pink appeared on her pretty face, just like the peach blossoms in March, it was really beautiful.

Zuo Junmo couldn't look away from her face.

Thinking of something, he took out a few more banknotes from his body and put them on the table for her to count.

"What is this...?" she asked.

Zuo Jun curled his lips: "Manuscript fee."

"Ah?" She opened her eyes wide.

I quickly took the bank note and looked at the amount on it. I was so shocked that I almost jumped up from my stool.

"So many?" she asked.

In his previous letters, he only said that the sales of the novel were good, but did not mention the specific amount of money earned.

Now that I see it, I can’t believe it.

Zuo Junmo had obviously experienced her surprises. Compared to her shock, he was a little calmer and could still tease her.

"What, it's beyond your expectation?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing sighed with emotion: "I originally only wanted a small tree, but unexpectedly the readers gave me a forest!"

"Oh my God, I'm so grateful that I'm crying!"

Zuo Junmo curled his lips: "Just keep the tears. If you really want to give back to the readers, then work hard to write more and better stories to please them."

"If you do it with your heart, they can feel it and give you unexpected surprises in return." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly, "Heroes think alike. Brother Zuo, don't worry. Although I am a businessman, sister, I will definitely work hard when it comes to novels."

Zuo Junmo smiled happily: "That's it, that's good!"

…

After the business matters were discussed, the next step was to talk about personal matters.

"For the first time, sister Qing'er came to Huguang County and Brother Luo didn't accompany her to protect her?" Zuo Junmo asked with a smile.

Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"Yeah, they have a lot of things going on in the military camp, so they don't have time to be my flower protector," she said.

Flower protector?

Zuo Junmo raised his eyebrows, this word was new.

"Sister Qing'er has been having a lot of fun here these days. Brother Luo is busy with official duties, so let's let Brother Yu serve as the flower protector for a while, okay?"

he asked gently.

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, she didn't expect him to learn and use it very quickly!

"Haha, okay, okay, I've heard for a long time that there is a Beidou Cave here in Huguang County. I've wanted to play it for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't have the time before!"

She said with excitement.

Zuo Junmo hooked his lips: "Okay, I will arrange the things at hand later, and I will accompany you to Beidou Cave in the next two days."

"Great!"

The room she stayed in was in a small courtyard behind the restaurant.

It's a quiet, elegant little courtyard.

Zuo Junmo lives in the east wing, and she lives in the west wing.

At night, Zuo Junmo asked the waiter in the restaurant to deliver the food to Yang Ruoqing's house, and he came to find her with a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine she brought back from the south.

Li Daer was also invited.

"Ah? Brother Zuo, don't you usually drink a lot? Why are you drinking this night?"

she asked with a smile.

Zuo Junmo said: "Sister Qing'er is here today, and Brother Yu is very happy."

The three of them sat down, and Yang Ruoqing took the initiative to grab the wine jar and filled Zuo Junmo, Li Daer, and herself with wine.

"Okay, since Brother Zuo is happy, the girl will get drunk with Brother Zuo tonight."

she said.

"good!"

The three of them ate food and drank wine. They drank to their heart's content and talked enthusiastically.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Ruoqing saw Zuo Junmo's face turning red.

She couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Zuo, you're not strong enough to drink. You've just drank three bowls, can't you hold on anymore?"

Zuo Junmo smiled ashamedly: "It's okay, come again, come again..."

Li Dayer stood up and said, "Master Zuo, I'll go to the front yard and pour you a bowl of sobering soup."

"Okay, thank you Brother Big Ear."

"It's okay!"

Li Dayer quickly walked out of the house.

Here, Zuo Junmo raised his wine bowl: "Qing'er, come and have another drink with Brother Zuo."

"okay!"

Yang Ruoqing chuckled, picked up the bowl, and drank heavily.

Drinking posture is bold and unrestrained.

In Zuo Junmo's eyes, he has the charm of a hero among women.

The fascination in his eyes deepened.

He raised his head and drank the osmanthus wine in the bowl.

Drunk and enlightened.
