Jiang Zhuguo's words made Honglian even more at a loss, but she didn't know how to respond.

After waving his hands frantically for a while, he had no choice but to remain silent.

After arriving at the residence, Jiang Zhuguo first went to find Xia Mingyue and talked to her for a long time about the management of the central kitchen and what she was going to do today.

It was not until the evening that Jiang Zhuguo came out of the house and told Zhuang Mama and Yinqiao to prepare dinner.

Honglian came into the house and poured tea for Xia Mingyue.

It was the rock sugar and pear tea that Xia Mingyue had asked them to make earlier. It didn't require as much rock sugar as when making soup, so it was a lot more diluted and not as sweet, but it was light and delicious, with a strong pear aroma.

Xia Mingyue was feeling a little thirsty from talking to Jiang Zhuguo just now, so she drank half a cup in one gulp, saying it was very satisfying.

Honglian wanted to say something but stopped herself and pinched her sleeve awkwardly.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Xia Mingyue put down the cup, "There's no need to hesitate in front of me."

"Madam Xia, I..." Honglian didn't know how to start and finally sighed.

Even a little annoyed.

She felt a little twisted.

Obviously she hated those who gossiped about her behind her back, but Xia Mingyue supported her and dealt with those people, winning her the respect she deserved. Logically, she should be very happy.

But she became even more worried.

As for what she was worried about, she didn't know.

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "I think I can understand your thoughts. You feel that everything was fine and your life was getting better. Suddenly something happened. Is it because of you that you feel uneasy?"

"I am worried that there will be no peace and tranquility in the future, and that my life is not as good as I imagined, but just a mirage. So I am very worried?"

These words fully revealed Honglian's thoughts.

Honglian nodded in agreement, but was stunned. "How did Madam Xia know that?"

"I had this thought before." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

In her previous life, she began to study cooking skills everywhere. When she first faced the whole society and the ups and downs of life alone, she was so uneasy when faced with the contempt of others for her as a person who learned cooking skills halfway and came from a remote village.

"In fact, such thoughts are ultimately derived from inner inferiority. People who face life with an unconfident attitude tend to be sensitive, suspicious, cautious, and hesitant."

"In fact, it doesn't have to be like that. If you think about it carefully, there is only one me in this world. I am the only one in the world. Since I am the only one, I am extremely precious."

Xia Mingyue said, "Just remember that you are good and you deserve all the good things in this world."

Is she fine?
Does she deserve all the good things in this world?
Honglian repeated this sentence over and over again, and the expression on her face changed from initial astonishment to a little confidence.

The forward-leaning standing posture that I always used subconsciously to hide my body shape gradually straightened up.

"I'm fine, and I deserve all the good things in this world." The originally low muttering turned into loud words, making Honglian's eyes shine with a bright light.

"That's it." Xia Mingyue smiled happily, "From now on, recite it five times in front of the mirror every morning after waking up, and recite it five times before going to bed at night."

Shouting slogans may sound boring and funny, but if you shout them often, they will give you sufficient psychological hints and become the best psychological therapy.

"I'll remember that," Honglian replied repeatedly. Her voice was much better than before.

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue smiled knowingly.

Suddenly, I seemed to see myself, who used to be self-deprecating, raising my head a little bit...

After the Descent of Frost, the weather becomes colder day by day.

Xia's business in various places is becoming more and more mature. Under Xia Mingyue's guidance, Jiang Zhuguo is becoming more and more adept at managing things and employing people, and he seems to be in charge of things.

The subordinates' attitude towards Jiang Zhuguo has changed from simple respect at the beginning to calling her "Madam Jiang" with full respect when they meet her now.

Jiang Zhuguo gained more confidence and worked more carefully and methodically. He boldly put forward his own management suggestions, and after being approved by Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu, he implemented them in a drastic manner.

Wu Xiong has not been to Changzhou City since his last visit, but he sends people to deliver letters every now and then.

With Jiang Zhuguo's previous careful guidance, Wu Xiong went back and practiced diligently. Although his handwriting now does not look perfect, it is quite good.

Jiang Zhuguo believed that encouragement was the main approach when teaching people, so whenever Wu Xiong wrote back a letter, Jiang Zhuguo would always praise him.

Wu Xiong was very happy to receive the praise, and whenever he had free time at home, he would practice calligraphy diligently. Whenever he asked someone to deliver a letter, he would also attach a few pieces of his practiced calligraphy for Jiang Zhuguo to comment on.

In addition, Wu Xiong sent a lot of things over.

Cloth, wool, rouge and powder are all things that every girl likes. Thinking of Jiang Zhuguo who would have to do some accounting, she specially sent him the pens, ink, paper and inkstone that he had asked someone to find.

Jiang Zhuguo always smiled happily after receiving something.

Seeing that the business in Changzhou Prefecture was very stable, Xia Mingyue discussed with Manager Fu about returning to Jinqiu County.

Fu Guanshi really liked doing business with Xia Mingyue and wanted to keep her, but considering that Xia Mingyue also had her own business to take care of in Jinqiu County and she had been in Changzhou City for many days and would inevitably feel homesick, he swallowed his words.

After comprehensively considering the overall business situation in Changzhou City, Xia Mingyue tentatively decided to set off after the beginning of winter.

Just when Xia Mingyue was hesitating whether to write a letter and send it to the military camp to inform Lu Qiyan and An Yunji, that afternoon, the gate of the military camp opened, and Lu Qiyan rode out of the camp on horseback and headed towards Changzhou City.

Some things have already been settled with Xiao Luoan, and they will be busy in the next few days. Lu Qiyan wanted to take this opportunity to go back and see Xia Mingyue.

With the yearning fermented by time, the further Lu Qiyan walked towards Changzhou City, the more he couldn't help but look up, his mind was full of the scene when he saw Xia Mingyue...

He hasn't been back for some time. His wife must be very happy about his sudden return.

Lu Qiyan imagined Xia Mingyue's smiling face with curved eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But just as Lu Qiyan was immersed in this fantasy, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him.

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and soon reached behind him, and the sound of horse hooves slowed down in time.

It was obviously coming for him.

Lu Qiyan frowned and looked back, only to see a face with a bright smile.

"Little General Ji?"

Lu Qiyan was stunned. (End of this chapter)
