Jin Xiaoshu rowed the boat and took Jin Xiaoye and Fang Jinniang to the vicinity of Zhu's house. After parking the boat, he took them to the door of Zhu's house.
The place where the Zhu family lived was inhabited by wealthy people from Chongcheng County. The alley was very clean, and there was not a single weed on the courtyard wall.
The door of the Zhu family was open. Jin Xiaoye did not go in, but said to the doorman: "Is Mr. Zhu home? I am Li Qingzhi's wife. I have something to ask Mr. Zhu."
"It turns out to be Mr. Li's wife. Ladies, go inside and have some tea first. I'll go find my master." The concierge smiled and spoke immediately after Jin Xiaoye gave her name. Zhu Qian had specifically instructed them to be polite when they met Li Qingzhi or Li Qingzhi's family.
After saying this, the doorman enthusiastically led the people inside.
Li Qingzhi had told Jin Xiaoye before that she could ask Zhu Qian for help if she had any problems, but Jin Xiaoye did not expect that she would be treated so well at the Zhu family.
The three of them were taken to the side hall of the Zhu family, where the servants served them tea and snacks. Li Qingzhi had brought home many snacks from the Zhu family before, and Jin Xiaoshu had eaten the glutinous rice balls served today before.
People of his age have a very good appetite, and even though he has never eaten anything good, he is still very greedy.
In the past, every time Li Qingzhi shared food with him, he would be happy for a long time and praise the food again and again.
However, during this month, he did not eat the food that Li Qingzhi gave him. He gave it all to Fang Jinniang. He also spent his own money to buy some food for Fang Jinniang that he thought would be delicious.
Now when he saw the snack, he immediately said to Fang Jinniang: "Jinniang, this snack is delicious, you should try it."
Seeing that Fang Jinniang didn't move, he took one and put it to Fang Jinniang's mouth.
Fang Jinniang opened her mouth and ate it: "It's delicious."
Hearing this, Jin Xiaoshu laughed again: "Eat more."
Jin Xiaoye also said, "Yes, Jinniang, you haven't eaten anything this morning, right? Eat more. Oh! I was so anxious that I forgot to ask you to eat before coming over!"
She was afraid that Fang's mother would come and cause trouble, so she forgot to ask Fang Jinniang to eat before coming over.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry. I have a bag of chestnuts here," Fang Jinniang took out the chestnuts that Jin Xiaoshu had given her in the morning, "Manager Jin, these are bought by Xiaoshu, you can have some too."
Jin Xiaoye glared at Jin Xiaoshu. Jin Xiaoshu had been eating a lot from their family during this period, but he only took in food and never gave out anything, and never bought anything for them!
Unfortunately, Jin Xiaoshu was so busy looking at Fang Jinniang that he didn't notice his sister's eyes at all.
Never mind! Jin Xiaoye grabbed some chestnuts and started eating them.
While we were eating, Zhu Qian came.
Just a few days ago, Zhu Qian became the president of the Chongcheng County Chamber of Commerce. As a result, he has been very busy these days and met a lot of people.
But even so, when he heard that Li Qingzhi's wife wanted to see him, he put down what he was doing and came over.
As soon as Zhu Qian arrived, he saw Jin Xiaoye and the others eating, and couldn't help but smile - Li Qingzhi's family members looked so much like Li Qingzhi!
After greeting each other, Jin Xiaoye did not hide anything and told Fang Jinniang about her situation. He then asked, "Master Zhu, can you let Jinniang stay at your house for a few days?"
"Of course." Zhu Qian agreed without hesitation.
The Zhu family has a lot of houses, so it's not a problem to let a girl stay for a few days.
