After Shopkeeper Bai agreed, Pei Shao's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up to help Shopkeeper Bai pack his things and go home.

This made shopkeeper Bai dumbfounded.

He pushed Pei Shao on the chair and sat down again, "Why are you so anxious? We are going nowhere now. Stay there for two hours and then close the door."

Although he said that, shopkeeper Bai couldn't stop looking outside.

Pei Shao looked up at him with some confusion.

Shopkeeper Bai was embarrassed, covered his hands and coughed lightly, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

He pushed the snack plate on the table: "Go and eat your snack!"

Pei Shao chuckled and saw that shopkeeper Bai was holding on, but he didn't expose it as a friend and sat aside to eat snacks.

After all, shopkeeper Bai didn't stay for more than two hours, but after half an hour, he couldn't hold himself back anymore and coughed lightly.

Seeing that Pei Shao ignored him, shopkeeper Bai coughed heavily again.

"Grandpa Bai, what's wrong?" Pei Shao looked up at him, his face full of innocence.

Shopkeeper Bai was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't directly say that he wanted to leave.

He could only cough lightly and ask tentatively: "Don't you want to go home?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Shao knew what shopkeeper Bai was thinking. She snickered in her heart, but she said a little confused on her face.

Then he immediately replied: "Didn't Grandpa Bai say that he would stay for two hours?"

Being blocked by what he said, Shopkeeper Bai felt a little bad.

He coughed and still maintained his dignity and said: "Today is thirty. I see that there are probably no people in the shop, so there is no need to keep watch."

Pei Shao then said in a long voice as if he suddenly realized something.

"So that's it -" she said, not forgetting to look at Shopkeeper Bai and snicker.

Shopkeeper Bai felt a little embarrassed when she saw him, and then Pei Shao looked away: "Then let's go call uncle and go home together!"

Shopkeeper Bai kept opening the curtain on the carriage and looking out.

He was even more worried in his heart, fearing that the Cheng family would not welcome his arrival.

Cheng Yishen noticed that he was sitting on pins and needles, so he very considerately asked shopkeeper Bai to find something to do.

"Shopkeeper Bai, what do you think of the milk tea shop at Chaoyang Alley?"

Shopkeeper Bai groaned and thought for a while before realizing what he was talking about.

He didn't go out often on weekdays. He basically just stayed in the backyard of Sihai Penglai. He only heard about Qin Liuliu's shop after it opened.

I went out for a while, but soon came back without any interest.

"Oh," Shopkeeper Bai was a little uninterested: "It won't make any difference."

When that shop first opened, it did have some impact on the sales of milk tea in Penglai, Sihai. At that time, he went to see it immediately, fearing that a strong competitor would appear that he couldn't deal with.

After looking around, I found that it was nothing more than that.

The initial method was probably guided by an expert, but he met the little girl who ran the shop.

A short-sighted person cannot achieve anything, and she is worse than Pei Shao.

Although Shopkeeper Bai commented like this, Cheng Yishen was still a little worried.

The prices at Qin Liuliu's shop are nearly twice as low as theirs. Although their tea is not as mellow and sweet as their milk whey, the price is indeed much cheaper. Many people who don't have much money, but sometimes want to buy something to entertain their children, their first choice is the milk tea in Qin Liuliu's shop.

The price of Sihai Penglai is really too expensive.

"What are you worried about?" Shopkeeper Bai glanced at Cheng Yishen and asserted: "In less than ten days, something will happen to her shop."

Hearing shopkeeper Bai's comments, Pei Shao became a little more interested and came over to listen.

Then he would give Shopkeeper Bai a look of admiration from time to time.

She had the most contact with Qin Liuliu, not to mention she had the script in hand, so she knew Qin Liuliu the most among everyone present.

Qin Liuliu has always been arrogant and arrogant, relying on the fact that she is a time-traveling woman to look down on people of this era.

What's more, the main force of consumption in her shop is the common people whom she has always looked down upon. According to Qin Liuliu's over-the-top temperament, something might happen at some point.

She was noncommittal about Shopkeeper Bai's statement.

The Cheng Mansion arrived soon, and he didn't feel anything when he was on the carriage. Now that he was at the door of his house, Shopkeeper Bai felt a little shy about being close to home.

It's actually not quite accurate to say that he is shy about being close to home, shopkeeper Bai thought.

Maybe his social fear has flared up again?

Pei Shao didn't think too much, so he led Shopkeeper Bai out of the carriage and all the way into the mansion.

The eldest uncle had already sent someone to deliver the message in advance. Everyone knew that Shopkeeper Bai was coming, so it was not surprising.

Everyone in the Cheng family was very friendly to each other, and they had heard Pei Shao and Cheng Yishen talk about this shopkeeper Bai many times on weekdays, so they were no strangers to him.

Soon, Shopkeeper Bai got involved. In addition, he was well-informed and spoke eloquently about many things, and he also had many unique and sharp insights.

Even Cheng Yunchi and Cheng Bingwen, who usually talked the least, talked a lot more unconsciously.

Pei Shao retired silently from the house after he was done. Just as he was about to go find some little brothers to play with, he bumped into a stranger but also a little familiar person from the shop.

The clothes all over his body were almost torn into rags, and he looked especially pitiful in the cold winter.

Coupled with a head of hair like a chicken coop, there is no doubt that he is a beggar.

Pei Shao felt some compassion and was about to ask his servants to bring some food and clothing to the old man. When he looked at the man's face, he suddenly remembered something in his heart.

"It's you!" Pei Shao was shocked.

Isn't this the old man who was in the cell next to her after she was mistakenly arrested last time?

The old man chuckled, seeing that she recognized him, and hurriedly took a step forward.

"Little sister! You still remember me." He was a little surprised. Just as he was about to raise his hand to hug Pei Shao, Pei Shao was shocked and immediately pushed back and hid.

"You and Bai Zhi go wash up and change clothes first!" she said.

The old man also knew that his current state was not suitable for seeing others.

Just now, when I met a fellow villager, my eyes burst into tears. I really didn't realize that my own image was really bad.

When Pei Shao said this, he also reacted.

Looking down at his dirty and torn clothes, which were almost turning into rags, he felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, smiled, and followed Bai Zhi down.

It wasn't until he changed his clothes that he reappeared in front of Pei Shao.

The last time we met him in the cell, his hair was messy and his face was covered with gray, and he was even more embarrassed just now.

This was the first time Pei Shao saw what the old man looked like.

He was different from the old man in the cell who knew how to deceive and defraud him. After being cleaned, he looked like a fairy.

At least he can bluff people when he doesn't speak.
