Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shopkeeper Qiao smiled and said, “I’m delighted to hear that Xue Sifu thinks so highly of me. Lucky Restaurant wasn’t big in the past, so I can’t say that I despise it. You’re being too kind. The thing is, I haven’t even told my family about my position right now. I want to go back and tell my family first.

Regarding your offer, I will consider it carefully.”

The way he put it was basically asking Xue Yan for more time so that he has time to consider, so Xue Yan naturally said, “Okay.”

Shopkeeper Qiao got on the carriage and left while Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued their journey back.

As they returned to their shop, Jiang Yue said, “Let’s get someone to go to the county and tell Sifu. Didn’t Sifu ask someone to find out how much Shopkeeper Qiao’s monthly salary was? He also mentioned to us more than once how much he admired Shopkeeper Qiao. It seems that Sifu really wants to poach Shopkeeper Qiao. If he knew that there was a chance now, he definitely wouldn’t want to miss it.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan agreed. “Erfu knows how to ride a horse, so I’ll have to ask Erfu to make a trip there. Erfu happens to be in the shop, so he should be able to make it back before dark.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue had no objections.

When they returned, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan told Xue Erfu about Shopkeeper Qiao.

Xue Erfu didn’t say anything else and quickly rode to the county to inform Xue Sifu about the recent news.

The shop was currently lacking people, especially a head shopkeeper who had

to be in charge of all the shops. When Xue Sifu heard this, he was naturally delighted and immediately returned from the county. He did not care if it was dark or not and went straight to Shopkeeper Qiao’s house to pay him a visit.

He promised Shopkeeper Qiao that if Shopkeeper Qiao was willing to work for his rice noodle shop, he would not only be the head shopkeeper, but he would also receive the same monthly salary as Lucky Restaurant. However, in addition to the monthly salary, there would also be a commission base salary. He also promised that he would trust Shopkeeper Qiao and would not let a relative take his job in the future. Unless Shopkeeper Qiao was incapable of being a head shopkeeper, or had committed an intolerable mistake, or had started to have problems with his character, Xue Sifu would never fire Shopkeeper Qiao.

Since he had rushed back to find him in such a hurry and was so sincere, Shopkeeper Qiao was naturally even more touched by the gesture. He promised to join his rice noodle shop on the spot and even said that he would definitely manage the shops well.

Shopkeeper Qiao was a very responsible person. After he agreed, he planned to come to Pingan Town the next day to be the head shopkeeper of Xue’s Rice Noodle and work for Xue i s Rice Noodle. However, Xue Sifu told him not to rush into things. He told him to rest at home for two days and accompany his family while he had the time. It wouldn’t be too late for him to return to the shop.

Xue Sifu’s actions had deeply touched Shopkeeper Qiao. He was determined to work hard and not let Xue Sifu down — no one had ever valued him so much in his life.

Go to Xue Sifu.

The business of the rice noodle shop in the county was stable. Although Xue Dagui was shameless, he could manage it well. It was fine if Xue Sifu was not in the county. Since he was back, Xue Sifu was not in a hurry to go to the county. Instead, he stayed in the shop in the town. He planned to wait for Shopkeeper Qiao to come to the shop to be the new head shopkeeper. Then, he would go to the county to check on business. At the same time, he would also take Shopkeeper Qiao to the shop in the county to have a good look at how everything is managed so that Shopkeeper Qiao would be more familiar with Xue’s rice Noodle shop.

Xue Sifu had already returned to the town’s shop, so Xue Erfu asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan when they would return home. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan said that they would return home the next day because Empress Dowager Yunzi was leaving early in the morning.

The next day, before they had eaten breakfast in the shop, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan secretly left the shop and went to Quanping Inn to send off Empress Dowager Yunzi.

Empress Dowager Yunzi was returning to the capital today and had already woken up early in the morning to eat her breakfast. Naturally, the Imperial Censor, the Minister of Justice, Hui Xiang, and the others also went back to  the capital with her..
