Xiao Jie Kong listened, feeling very puzzled.
How many things had the man surnamed Xiao done for Xi Tian?
When he first arrived at Old Yun's house, he heard that the house in Da Shui Village was built by the man surnamed Xiao…
The position of magistrate of Da Man County was arranged by him, and Xi Tian's title as a county princess was also obtained from the Emperor by him.
Now, even the wine shop in the capital was opened with his help…
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie Kong felt indignant.
If he had met Xi Tian earlier, he would have done more, better, and more thoughtfully than the man surnamed Xiao.
It seemed he needed to ask his master for some money. If Xi Tian needed it in the future, he could help in an emergency…
"Hmph, so what if you helped open the shop? This little monk must go!~"
Xiao Jie Kong hooked the corner of his lips, then jumped onto the carriage, patting the seat beside him. "Xi Tian, come up, we're leaving!"
Little Xi Tian: "…"
Can't you two go a day without arguing?
Sigh, forget it, just stay calm.
As Little Xi Tian was about to walk forward, Xiao Jin Heng suddenly stopped her and then looked at Xiao Jie Kong with a lingering gaze. "This is a cargo carriage. You can sit alone. I've prepared another carriage for Xi Tian…"
After speaking, Xiao Jin Heng instructed Granny Jin, "Have Commander Kong bring my carriage over to take Xi Tian to the wine shop!~"
"Your Highness!" Granny Jin lowered her head and whispered, "Commander Kong… he went to find Princess Jiao Jiao and is not at the manor!"
Xiao Jin Heng was furious upon hearing this.
This Kong Xing Zhuo, ever since he arrived in the capital, had been running to the Marquis's manor every day, making it difficult to get him to do anything…
If he had known this, he should have forbidden Kong Xing Zhuo from dating for ten years. Then he would see if he dared to neglect his duties.
Old Ma, seeing this, smiled and walked over. "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll go get the carriage!~"
"Man surnamed Xiao, are you deliberately opposing me?" The little monk stomped his feet in anger. "Why should I sit in a cargo carriage? Do you think you're great just because you have a carriage?"
"That's right!" Xiao Jin Heng sneered. "It is great. Xi Tian is used to my carriage and is uncomfortable in others…"
Little Xi Tian, with a look of helplessness, looked up at the sky, a drop of cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
Xiao Jie Kong jumped off the carriage, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll buy a carriage specifically for Xi Tian. She'll never ride in your carriage again!~"
Xiao Jin Heng: "…"
Do you really have that much spirit?
You know, buying a decent private carriage in the capital costs at least one to two hundred taels of silver, and that's not even the best.
"Jie Kong, don't make a fuss, you really don't need to!~" Little Xi Tian was speechless.
She was truly impressed that they could argue over a carriage…
Were they bored?
"Xi Tian, don't worry about this matter." Xiao Jie Kong glanced at Xiao Jin Heng, tilted his chin, "This little monk won't steam buns to save face, but to show the man surnamed Xiao my capabilities, humph…"
With that, Xiao Jie Kong walked towards the bustling area without looking back.
"What a child, sigh…" Little Xi Tian sighed softly.
After delivering the wine jars to the shop, Little Xi Tian began to tidy up the storefront, clean the place, and asked Uncle Old Ma to invite craftsmen to make a plaque. The name would be 'Tian Xin Wine Shop'.
'Tian' was taken from Little Xi Tian's name, and 'Xin' represented sincerity or integrity…
"Little County Princess, with such a large shop, the two of us won't be able to manage. We need to hire a few shop assistants and an accountant!" Old Ma reminded her while working.
Little Xi Tian replied, "Mm," "Then I'll trouble Uncle Old Ma with this matter…"
"Oh, Little County Princess, you shouldn't be so polite. It is my honor to serve you, Little County Princess!~"
Old Ma was overjoyed. Seeing that Little Xi Tian's forehead was covered in sweat, he took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her. "Besides, my young master specifically instructed me to help you manage the wine shop well. If you lack anything, just say the word, and I'll be there whenever you call…"
He firmly believed that as long as Little County Princess was involved, the business would be booming.
Before, Little County Princess only helped the young master manage the clothing shop for a few days, and good heavens, the shop's business was still booming, selling limited edition clothing every day…
"Uncle Old Ma, tomorrow I want to set up a few tables in front of the shop so that passersby can taste our wine!~"
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush, but without good promotion, even the most delicious wine will be covered in dust.
"Okay, then I'll go arrange it now…" Old Ma replied.
"Also, Uncle Old Ma." Little Xi Tian stopped him, smiled, and said, "From now on, Uncle Old Ma can just call me Xi Tian, no need to call me Little County Princess!~"
She didn't want to attract customers as the Princess of Dongping, as it would not be good for Xiao Jin Heng and the royal family…
In the Great Liang Kingdom, officials were not allowed to engage in commerce. Even members of the royal family were forbidden from doing business and accumulating wealth outside, a strict and unyielding rule.
Therefore, most court officials secretly opened shops in the name of others to make money…
Old Ma was stunned for two seconds, then reacted, "Alright, I, your servant, will call you Shopkeeper Xi Tian or Shopkeeper Yun from now on!~"
"Mm-hmm!"
After a busy day, seeing the sun setting in the west, Little Xi Tian remembered that she had forgotten something…
"Oh dear, I originally planned to visit the aunts at the General's manor, but I got so busy I forgot all about it!~" Little Xi Tian looked annoyed.
She heard that the General's manor's second and fourth wives had been taken to Beijiang by her uncle and had only returned a few days ago.
She wondered if the 'strong medicine' she had given her uncle would work.
If even one aunt could get pregnant, that would be great…
"Shopkeeper Xi Tian, the carriage is ready. Are you returning to the manor directly, or…?" Old Ma asked as he walked in.
Little Xi Tian hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Let's return to the manor. I'll visit the aunts at the General's manor another day!~"
"Alright!"
Outside the Yun Manor gate.
As Little Xi Tian's carriage stopped, she saw a man carrying large bags and packages, looking around…
"Who are you?" Old Ma clenched his whip, his voice stern. "What are you doing loitering in front of the Yun Manor?"
It seemed he needed to mention this to the young master. With the Crown Prince and the County Princess living here, it was time to find some guards to protect them…
Hearing the commotion, Little Xi Tian lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "It's you!~"
