Chapter 252: Hospitality

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mother Jian was pleasantly surprised as she went forward to welcome Master

Guan and Madam Guan’s family. She did not expect that a wealthy family like Madam Guan would personally come to her shop.

Madam Guan was her first customer, so Mother Jian’s feelings towards her were somewhat different.

She went forward and said warmly, “Master Guan, Madam Guan, please come in!”

Madam Guan beamed as she handed a gift to her and said, “It’s a grand opening!

Madam Guan had interacted with Mother Jian a few times because of the cake purchase. She was very fond of her neither servile nor overbearing personality. From their interactions, she learned that she had a very capable daughter and that she was on good terms with the county magistrate of Shifeng County.

If they only admired Mother Jian’s personality, Master Guan’s family would definitely not have come personally. They might have sent a trusted aide to deliver some congratulatory gifts. At most, it would be Madam Guan. However, knowing that Mother Jian’s daughter was on good terms with the county magistrate was a different matter.

Master Guan was an average-sized fifth-rank official in Cairo City. This time, he returned to Shifeng County to pay respects to the ancestors. He knew the identity of Ming Zhiyan. He was the Emperor’s nephew, the most honorable identity in this remote Cairo City. Therefore, he thought of building a good relationship with Mother Jian, hoping to get on the good side of ming Zhiyan.

However, the matter of communicating with the woman still had to be handled by Madam Guan herself. She looked around the shop and praised with a smile, “Your shop is beautiful and special. It’s very different from other shops.”

“Of course not. What would Madam like to eat? There are a lot of fresh food and milk tea today. Would you like some?

Madam Guan nodded with a smile, “Then let’s have some of each.”

At this moment, Master Guan was looking around absentmindedly. Suddenly, he saw Ming Zhiyan sitting in a cubicle. His eyes lit up and he walked over quickly, he said politely, “Master Ming, you’re here too! I’m the Governor of Cairo City, Guan Zidong. I’ve heard a lot about you!’

Ming Zhiyan nodded coldly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Master Guan could see Ming Zhiyan’s coldness. He chuckled guiltily and said, “Nothing, nothing. I just want to get to know Master Ming. You can eat first. I won’t disturb you.”

Jian Qingqing looked at Master Guan’s back as he left and asked, “Why is the

Cairo City garrison here? He seems to be on good terms with my mother.”

Ming Zhiyan looked at Master Guan’s family of four and said, “He’s quite honest. He doesn’t have great talent and is mediocre in his work. He hasn’t been promoted for many years. Maybe he wants to specialize now.”

Jian Qingqing replied with an ‘oh’. She was afraid that someone would use her mother to do something. However, her family was just ordinary people and did not have much value. She was relieved again.

Master Guan and Madam Guan entered the private room. He was drinking milk tea casually and thinking about something.

The two children ate the cake happily.

Madam Guan wiped her son’s mouth and asked curiously, “Was that Master Ming just now?

Master Guan nodded.

Madam Guan praised, “He looks like a dragon and phoenix among men.”

Master Guan said regretfully, “But he’s quite difficult to deal with. I can’t even talk to him.”

Madam Guan comforted him, “Take your time. There’s no rush. Even if you can’t get promoted for the time being, it doesn’t matter. The children and I will always be with you.”

Master Guan looked at her disapprovingly. “How can we give you and the children a better life if we don’t get promoted?”

Madam Guan sighed and said, “In the past, it was Song Yuancheng who was pressuring you, so you didn’t dare to do anything more. Now that that person is gone, it seems that the newly opened prefect has to do something. You have to work hard too. Why worry about not getting promoted? That Master Ming is obviously not a person who likes to specialize in franchises. If you keep trying to curry favor with him, I’m afraid you’ll even make him unhappy. It’s better to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Perhaps you’ll even catch his eye.” Master Guan nodded thoughtfully.

Madam Guan looked at him. As long as he listened to her, she smiled and took a sip of milk tea.
