In addition to convention, calling this kind of thing is of course a matter of habit.

So when Chang Pingning heard from Ruilan's tone that she was calling Liu Qingwan inappropriately, he asked curiously: "Then what did you call her?"

Ruilan was at a loss for words. For such a woman who was obviously married, she was usually called by her husband's family name, but no one in Guojia Village knew who the young lady from the Liu family was married to or who the father of her child was.

"The wife of that family?" Rilan thought for a while and looked at her mother, as if she wanted to confirm that this is how they usually call Miss Liu.

Facing Chang Pingning's appraising gaze, Rui Lan and Aunt Qiu Hong nodded.

"I probably shouted that out after Butler Liu?" Chang Pingning thought of an excuse. In fact, it seemed that when she saw Liu Qingwan for the first time, she felt that she didn't look like a woman who married someone else.

"Anyway, we are all working for Miss Liu now, so there is no problem in calling Liu Qingwan the same name." Chang Pingning said, as if confirming that he had no problem calling Liu Qingwan.

However, Chang Pingning remembered that the last time the county magistrate appeared at the Liu family, she mockingly called "Princess Liu".But seeing the two people in front of him, Chang Pingning didn't say anything.

After listening to Chang Pingning's explanation, Aunt Ruilan and Qiuhong thought that this was indeed the case. Miss Liu gave them the opportunity to set up a stall.There is no further question about the title of "Miss Liu".

Chang Pingning saw that there was nothing wrong with their stall, and then asked Ruilan, where did the other two people they found yesterday go to set up a small charcoal stove?
Ruilan was a little helpless. She told Chang Pingning that the two people had asked their family members to send a message early in the morning, saying that they would not come.

Aunt Qiuhong stopped Ruilan from complaining and said a few good words for the two people, but both of them had family problems and couldn't leave.However, their small charcoal stove was empty. Among the three small charcoal stoves they brought this morning, two were borrowed by those two people.

Chang Pingning nodded and walked towards his stall.

It seems that the return voyage of the fishing boats today has made many stalls in the port quieter.It also includes Chang Ping Ning’s food stalls.

"Brother Pingan, don't be discouraged. After they finish buying and selling fish, they will definitely come to our stall for a good meal." Guo Zhongzhou comforted the somewhat unhappy Chang Pingan.

Chang Ping'an originally wanted to say something with a frown on his face, but after seeing Chang Pingning, he immediately smiled and patted his chest confidently: "I'm not worried. It's their loss if they can't enjoy my craftsmanship."

When Chang Pingning walked back, he happened to hear Chang Ping'an's words and echoed a few words with a smile.

At this moment, the people surrounding the fishing boat showed signs of gradually dispersing, and Chang Pingning saw many people running towards their stall.

Upon seeing this, Chang Pingning asked Chang Ping'an to start roasting a few oysters in preparation.

Sure enough, people around the fishing boat flocked to Chang Pingning's stall. Some of them looked familiar and greeted directly: "Brothers and sisters, do you still have the sea urchin fried rice in the morning? I can eat two bowls!"

Chang Pingning started to get busy, and for a time he could hardly touch the ground.

Finally, after noon, there were far fewer people around Chang Ping Ning’s stall.After a while, Chang Pingning saw that no more people were coming and prepared to pack up the stall and go home.

As for Guo Bomo, he came over earlier and told Chang Pingning that he had made a lot of money selling fish today, and Captain Zhao planned to invite several of his shipmates and brothers who had disembarked first to find buyers to have a meal in the town.

After Chang Pingning returned to Guojiacun, she went directly to Liu's house, but she met Butler Liu at the door of Liu's house.It seemed that Butler Liu was here specially to wait for Chang Pingning.When he saw Chang Pingning, he told her: "The lady has taken someone to your house to wait."

Chang Pingning was surprised. He really couldn't imagine that the county magistrate, who was so arrogant before, would go to the small courtyard of their Guo family to wait for him.

For some reason, Chang Pingning always felt that Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan deliberately wanted to make things difficult for the county magistrate.

Chang Pingning didn't understand why, just a few days later, the relationship between Miss Liu and Miss County Magistrate was reversed, especially Miss County Magistrate, who seemed to be a completely different person.

Chang Pingning turned his head in confusion and looked at the plaque "Liu House" above the door of the Liu family, full of doubts in his heart.

She didn't understand that the Liu family, who had been exiled from other places, had always been in a situation that was unimaginable to Chang Pingning.Chang Pingning didn't know why the Liu family had a butler.Do you want to hire a cook?
Moreover, it seems that the Liu family is still adhering to the previous rules of being a "prominent family": the female members of the family are not allowed to go out.

Chang Pingning originally thought that Liu Qingwan was the only female dependent in the Liu family, but when she came over occasionally, she could see other women, old and young, in the Liu family's mansion, but they were not allowed to go out.

Chang Pingning thought for a while. It seems that the only people in the Liu family who can go out are Butler Liu and Liu Qingwan. If the scope is expanded a little bit, there is also Liu Qingwan's son who sneaks out to play.

In her wild thoughts, Chang Pingning turned her head and looked at the gate of the Liu family again. She actually felt that the Liu family was like some kind of monster, devouring Liu Qingwan's life.

Thinking of this, Chang Pingning shuddered, thinking that he was probably bored and had such a weird idea.Chang Pingning couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

But she was very sure that she and Liu Qingwan were from two different worlds.If it weren't for the business of the stall, Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan would not have any unnecessary interactions at all.

Chang Pingning speeded up his pace home.

Pushing open the courtyard door of Guo's house, Chang Pingning saw Liu Qingwan sitting in the courtyard, teaching Guo Lingan how to read.Meng Xia sat next to her, occasionally adding water to their bowls.

As for the other ladies, they all stood respectfully behind Liu Qingwan.The county magistrate's lady still had a flattering smile on her face, but she was no longer as domineering as she was when they last met at Liu's house.

Seeing this, Chang Pingning walked to Liu Qingwan and told her: "Miss Liu, I have closed the stall. I don't know when these ladies plan to go to sea."

Liu Qingwan raised her head and looked at the people behind her. Just when she was about to ask questions, Ye Xiuying called out to Chang Pingning in a low voice.

"Ning Yatou, the tide hasn't gone out yet, so it's not time to catch the sea." Ye Xiuying said with a smile, for fear of disturbing the interest of the rich ladies in her yard.

Meng Xia on the side also heard what Ye Xiuying said, and she took the initiative to ask Ye Xiuying: "Aunt Guo, when will the tide recede today?"

Ye Xiuying thought for a while, looked at the sun again, stretched out her hand to feel the blowing wind, and told Meng Xia a time.

Meng Xia nodded after hearing this: "It just so happens that they can't walk fast either. Maybe when we get there, the tide will recede."
