Jiang Wanmu brushed away the snowflakes that had fallen in front of her eyes, and followed the crowd on East Street, gradually approaching Tea House Yi Pin. The shop assistant at the entrance, Xiao Er, saw her and smiled as he gestured with his hand to form a "three" shape, welcoming her with a smile: "Little miss, you're late this time." She glanced inside Tea House Yi Pin, which was filled with customers, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Er Ge, I've been traveling all the way here, but only your tea house has such good business."
The shop assistant leaned in a bit closer to her and said in a soft voice, "Miss, my boss is willing to spend big money. He's adding that expensive charcoal to the stove without charging for it. Don't be fooled by how good business looks, actually the store owner can't make too much money." Jiang Wanru heard this and couldn't help but laugh lightly, looking at him with a soft voice asking, "Little brother, what I mentioned to you last time, does your boss think it's okay?" The shop assistant listened and quickly nodded saying, "The boss has been waiting for these days, hurry up and bring people over to take a look. If he's satisfied, then he'll keep him on as an employee."
Jiang Wanmu smiled and pulled out a few copper coins from her sleeve, quickly stuffing them into the shop assistant's hand. "Little brother, this is my small intention. If that brother of mine can get the master to notice him, I'll ask you to guide him more in the future." The shop assistant glanced at Jiang Wanmu's coarse clothing and accepted the copper coins with a smile, saying softly, "I'll take it this time, but don't do this again next time. You're not a rich person either, having a kind heart is good enough." He then nodded towards the couple who had just arrived upstairs.
When Jiang Wanting arrived at the third private room, a man and a woman were standing on either side of the door. They were wearing fine cotton-padded clothes, the man looked serious, and the woman had a gentle and elegant expression. Jiang Wanting saw them and walked up to greet them with a smile: "Hello, Brother Chu! Hello, Sister Xiu! Are you two free to see me? Sister Xiu, is your body well?" The man, Chu Dui, saw Jiang Wanting and lightly patted the door, saying: "Master, madam, Miss Lazy has arrived."
The woman smiled and said, "Madam's body has recovered, she wants to wait here for the first time out, thinking of seeing Miss Xiaolan, listening to Miss Xiaolan's interesting words." Jiang Wanru pretended to wipe away sweat, looking at the woman and saying, "Sister Xiu, help me think of a way, how can I have so many interesting things to say?" The woman smiled lightly, her eyebrows and eyes showing a charming expression. Jiang Wanru stared blankly, saying to the man beside her, "Zheng Da Ge, you will be lucky in the future, getting a beautiful woman as your companion."
A bright and clear female voice came from inside the door: "Xiao Lan, come in quickly. You only remember to chat with Xiuer, but forget about the people inside. Xiuer's face is thin-skinned, if you say a few more words, she won't dare to come out and see you next time." Jiang Wanmu glanced over and saw the two people who had turned red from just one sentence, she covered her mouth and gently pushed open the door of the private room with a soft laugh.
Jiang Wanru entered the private room, noticing that the window was slightly ajar and she could still hear the voices from downstairs. Chu Xiao sat in the main seat, looking at Jiang Wanru with a disapproving expression as she covered her mouth. His wife, Chu Yang, smiled and beckoned to Jiang Wanru, saying: "Come quickly, sit next to me." Jiang Wanru dropped her hand from her mouth, smiling as she sat down beside her, asking: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling better? Is the young master playful?"
Chu Yang's wife listened to her words, gently tapped her forehead a few times and said: "You're too mischievous, teasing Xiao Hua outside. My body is fine, it's just that I've gained a bit of weight and I'm worried that I won't be able to lose it. He can smile now, so adorable. Next year when the weather gets hot, I'll bring him out for you to see." Jiang Wanru heard her words and nodded repeatedly with joy. She carefully examined her plump figure again and comforted her by saying: "Brother-in-law is not that kind of shallow person, he won't mind if you gain a few pounds, sister-in-law, just focus on gaining more weight."
Chu Xiao choked on his tea upon hearing her words, and after a moment, he turned to his wife and said: "Let go and teach her a lesson. She's been spoiled by us and has no sense of propriety." Although Chu Xiao's words were stern, his eyes were filled with amusement. Chu Yang looked at her husband and gently pinched Jiang Wanru's face, saying: "It's time to teach her a good lesson. Now that she's grown up, she uses her sharp tongue on her own brother and sister-in-law."
Jiang Wanmu quickly got up, sat down opposite her with a smile, and apologized: "Good sister-in-law, I'm older than you and your brother, but in front of you two, I'm just a younger one. I only have the privilege of listening to your orders, not speaking out of turn." Chu Xiao's husband and wife looked at each other with a smile, and Chu Yang said with emotion: "No wonder your brother always had a smile on his face when he came back from seeing you before. With such a delightful younger brother like you, it would be fine to recognize two more."
Jiang Wanmu looked down at her clothes with a bitter face, then raised her head to say to Chu Yangshi: "Sister-in-law, I am now a woman." Chu Yangshi heard this and smiled lightly, saying: "I know you are a woman. Unfortunately, your sworn brother told me about you two or three years ago, always calling you his sworn younger brother. Later, when he heard that you wanted to see me, he was still shouting in my ear, 'This little scoundrel, as soon as I mention the word "wife", he can't stop thinking of my wife.'" Chu Yangshi remembered the rare look of embarrassment on Chu Xiao's face when he found out Jiang Wanmu was a woman, and she couldn't help but laugh again.
Jiang Wan couldn't bear to laugh along with her, so she lowered her head and pretended to be obediently drinking the good tea that Chu Zhuang had just brought in. Chu Xiao glanced at his wife, whose eyes were narrowed from laughing, then looked at Jiang Wan, who was strongly suppressing her smile and pretending to be well-behaved, and said: "Alas, I was momentarily blind, and let my wife laugh for two whole years. My wife, when you first saw Little Lazy, didn't you think she was a man? But this little scoundrel, neither early nor late, just had to say that she was a woman the moment she met you. This is clearly favoritism, I've been treating her too well."
Chu Xiang glanced at Jiang Wanru, who was lowering her head, and refilled the tea for a second time. With a smile in his eyes, he exited the room. Since saving Jiang Wanru once, Chu Xiang and she had been running into each other under various circumstances. As time passed, Chu Xiang felt that Jiang Wanru was sincere and liked how, despite her young age, she was extremely diligent and knew how to take advantage of opportunities to carefully ask for his guidance. Chu Xiang thought she was someone worth helping, and after repeated interactions, he found that aside from her family background, which couldn't be mentioned, this little girl was a very straightforward person with no ulterior motives.
Chu Xiao was moved by the thought, and he wanted to acknowledge this sworn brother. At that time, when he mentioned this, Jiang Wanru directly told him: "I want to acknowledge you as my elder brother, you are truly kind to me. However, I have been hiding one thing from you, promise me that you won't get angry afterwards, and I will acknowledge you as my sworn brother." Chu Xiao thought for a moment, looking at Jiang Wanru's appearance, he couldn't do anything harmful or unjust, probably because of his family background, he couldn't speak directly to people. He nodded on the spot and said: "Alright, I promise you, even if I find out the truth later, I won't get angry."
