The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Xu Ruoxian burst into laughter while holding the small box containing the tea. The flower tea that her father had always dreamed of, the flower tea that her father had personally come to Qinghe County to obtain but had failed to get, she had finally gotten her hands on.

The maid, Xiaoqing, quickly spoke up to remind her, "Miss, you're getting too carried away. You've startled everyone eating around us."

Xu Ruoxian chuckled and handed the small wooden box in her arms to Xiao Qing.

"Xiaoqing, quickly go and tell Guard Liu to send someone to deliver the tea to my father as soon as possible. Note that this tea is very precious. Tell Guard Liu to go to the street and buy a few more sheets of oiled paper to wrap the tea in to prevent it from getting damp and affecting the taste."

"Yes, Miss."

Xu Ruoxian thought about it and decided that it was best not to send the tea back for the time being. She would wait a couple of days and see what happened. If she went back in a couple of days, she could take the tea back with her without wasting manpower.

"Wait, don't send it back yet. Let's see how things go."

Xu Ruoxian sat in the lobby of Gu's Restaurant waiting and waiting. Finally, Su Dongjia came out with a cup to water the orchids, and Xu Ruoxian rushed to the orchids.

"Master Su, you suggested that I could open an inn to make money, and I'm very interested. However, I don't have the money to buy a house, so I can only rent. Are the rents expensive in Qinghe County? It would be even better if I could partner with you, Master Su."

After saying it, she realized it was too rash and worried about being rejected, so Vivian Hsu quickly covered her mouth.

"Alright, Miss Xu, I'll partner with you."

Gong Yu's subordinates had already informed her of Prefect Xu's situation.

Therefore, she knew that Prefect Xu was a rare good official, and that he was now heavily in debt in order to help the people.

Good people deserve good rewards, so Su Qianqian decided to lend a hand.

Xu Ruoxian could hardly believe her ears. The shrewd businessman, Su Dongjia, was actually willing to partner with her, someone with no experience, to open an inn.

This is a great deal! With Boss Su being so capable, doing business with him will definitely pay off all of my father's debts.

"Miss Su, is it true? You're really willing to partner with me in business?"

"It's true."

Su Qianqian had previously received many gifts from the capital, some from Princess Zhaohua and others from Meng Baozhu.

Some of them were marked as being made by the Imperial Household Department and were royal products; they were all stored in my spatial storage.

She exchanged all the other unmarked valuables for silver, and now she has bought up many shops on Gu Ji Street.

Moreover, after Gu's business improved, the prices of all the shops on the street rose accordingly.

Her investment in the shop has almost doubled.

Su Qianqian had always planned to open an inn, but Uncle Gu was only focused on carrying forward the family's traditional craftsmanship and had neither the time nor the energy to open an inn.

It's a good idea to partner with the prefect's daughter now; at least Magistrate Tang's men won't dare cause trouble at the inn.

"Miss Xu, I have a few houses that are suitable for opening an inn, right on this Fuxing Street. I'll be free later, so let's go take a look at the shops together."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Su."

Xu Ruoxuan's mother was from a military family in the capital. After coming to Pengcheng, she tried to do business, but none of them made money.

Therefore, Vivian Hsu doesn't have high demands, nor does she think about making her business bigger or stronger. As long as her income can cover her daily expenses in Qinghe County and help her father pay off his debts, that's enough for her.

After the lunch rush, Xu Ruoxuan went to see a house with Su Qianqian. She was very satisfied with the house, and since Su Qianqian had brought a lot of guards, she immediately arranged for people to start cleaning.

Su Qianqian was quite familiar with Qinghe County, so she took charge of arranging for people to purchase tables, chairs, and double beds, and before dark, she simply equipped each room with a double bed.

The two discussed the name of the inn together.

Vivian Hsu suggested, "I think 'National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance' clothing store is really good at naming things. Look how popular it is now! Why don't we come up with a more impressive name too?"

She had no idea how dismal the business of the Guose Tianxiang Clothing Shop had been until Manager Zuo met Su Qianqian, which changed her fate against all odds.

Su Qianqian thought for a moment and quickly came up with a magnificent name, "How about we call it 'Golden Jade Abundance Inn'?"

Vivian Hsu raised both hands in agreement, "This is a good name. With gold and jade piled up all over our inn, it's a good omen for making money."

Su Qianqian immediately had a large signboard made for the Jinyu Mantang Inn and hung it at the entrance of the inn.

She looked at the gate and felt that something was missing. "I'll have someone buy a few strings of red lanterns to hang outside the gate. At night, the customers coming and going will definitely take a second look at our sign."

No matter what Su Qianqian said, Xu Ruoxian kept nodding, thinking that Su Dongjia must be right.

After setting the prices for the guest rooms, Su Qianqian said to the thirty or so people Xu Ruoqian had brought, "I'll provide you with food and lodging. Do your job well. If the inn is fully booked, I'll give you an extra third of your wages as a bonus, and I'll also treat you to a free meal at Gu's Restaurant."

The people Xu Ruoxian brought were all from the Pengcheng Prefecture government. Because Prefect Xu was so poor, they hadn't received their monthly salary for several months and were in a particularly bad situation.

Although the guards didn't understand what team building meant, they knew that if they earned money, they could eat at Gu Ji's for free, and they would also receive wages and bonuses every month.

Everyone was filled with enthusiasm and went out onto the street to solicit customers.

There were quite a few merchants from other places in Qinghe County, as well as many scholars from other places. When Xu Ruoxian returned to the inn after finishing her meal, she was surprised to hear from the guards that the inn was already full.

Mr. Su is truly a business genius; he casually pointed out a path to wealth.

Moreover, Su Dongjia was very good at motivating people, and she mobilized the enthusiasm of all the officers and soldiers she brought from Pengcheng.

That night, Xu Ruoxian lay on the soft bed in the inn, her face beaming with joy.

Opening an inn is perfect for a poor girl like her. All the people she brought have a place to stay, and she doesn't have to spend money to stay at other inns anymore.

Coming to Qinghe County not only doesn't cost you money, but you can also make money from it – it's perfect!

Once she earns money, she can stay in Qinghe County for a while longer. She must try all the dishes at Gu's Restaurant before she's satisfied. Also, may God bless her to earn more money so she can help her father pay off his debts.

Prefect Xu had been eagerly awaiting his daughter's return to Pengcheng, but without fail, she sent him a letter every day, saying that the day of her return would come tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, and there were so many tomorrows, but she just wouldn't come back.

Today, my daughter not only delivered a letter, but also a small box made of boxwood. When I opened the box, the aroma of tea filled the air.

Prefect Xu recognized the flavor; it was the complimentary flower tea from Gu's Restaurant.

Xu Zhi took a deep breath; it smelled delicious.

He knew perfectly well that Gu's flower tea, though supposedly free, was the most expensive, and no matter how much you offered, they wouldn't sell it to outsiders.

My daughter is really something else; she managed to get two packets of Gu Ji flower tea all at once. It's true that girls around the same age can really connect.

I hope my dear daughter will work hard and persevere, and stay in Qinghe County to bring back more packets of flower tea to show her filial piety to her father.

Prefect Xu opened the letter his daughter had sent, and read, "Father, I finally managed to get two packets of flower tea from Master Su. Please be sure to drink them sparingly."

Prefect Xu nodded. "Save money, of course we should save money."

Prefect Xu felt sorry for his daughter who had no money, so he wrote back to her saying, "Ruoxuan, the thirty soldiers from Pengcheng Prefecture you brought with you will cost a lot of money for food and lodging every day. If you can't afford to support them, send them to work in Magistrate Tang's county office. Since they are working for Magistrate Tang, let Magistrate Tang take care of their food, clothing and lodging."

Lunch was served at the Xu residence. The table was set with simple porridge and side dishes, a rather meager meal.

Seeing the silly grin on Prefect Xu's face, Madam Xu asked curiously, "Sir, have you acquired some rare treasure? Why are you so happy?"

"Madam is truly amazing; she actually guessed it. I have indeed obtained a priceless treasure."

Prefect Xu carefully took out the tea leaves, which he had already repackaged.

It was encased in one wooden box after another, like Russian nesting dolls. Eight boxes of various sizes were opened before the two small packets of tea wrapped in kraft paper were revealed inside.

Prefect Xu's expression was particularly serious. He carefully opened the paper package, pinched a small pinch of tea leaves, thought for a moment, and then put half of it back.

This stuff is very precious, so we have to drink it sparingly.

Boiling water was poured into the tea leaves, filling the entire room with a rich aroma.

"Madam, this is the Gu's Flower Tea that I've been longing for and dreaming of drinking."
