Chapter 389 Going to Tianjin

She doesn't understand what beauty is.

However, when she entered the beauty salon, she also saw the price list for the services. It's no exaggeration to say that any one of those services would cost an average person half a month to a month's salary.

Add in some hidden costs, and it's practically a super money-making scheme.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that you could earn a year's salary in a single day just by meeting someone like Yan Liti is enough.

If they really opened one, wouldn't that make her dad a lot of money?

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao looked at Yan Liti with shining eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Great! Great! Let's open a beauty salon and make a lot of money!"

——

The morning after seeing Qiao Xiaoyun off on the train, Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong also set off to Jinshi with Wang Mingcheng.

The Wang family's house was neither a small villa nor a large manor like the Yan family's, but a three-courtyard house covering an area of ​​over 1,000 square meters.

Perhaps due to Professor Yan Xiaoqing's status, this courtyard house is decorated with particular elegance, exuding the atmosphere of a scholarly family from ancient times.

This courtyard house was bought by Yan Xiaoqing when she first arrived in Jinshi.

This was the first time Qiao Qiao had ever seen a house like this.

It feels as big as a maze.

Their eyes were filled with wonder.

"Does the baby like it? Actually, you already own two properties. Next time, we'll go take a look and decorate them according to your preferences. If you don't like the layout, then we'll buy a few more."

Seeing that Qiao Qiao had been staring intently at her since she entered, Yan Liti smiled and said.

The Wang family's courtyard house is truly beautiful. Even though the weather is still cold and the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard haven't fully recovered yet, the layout alone is pleasing to the eye.

Qiao Qiao really likes it too.

The courtyard has three sections. Wang Mingcheng and Yan Xiaoqing are getting old and prefer quiet, so they live on the innermost floor.

Wang Mingcheng and Yan Xiaoqing's two sons each lived in a separate courtyard.

However, Wang Xinghua's family only comes to stay during holidays; otherwise, they live in the housing provided by Wang Xinghua's work unit.

Wang Xinghua is also a professor at Tianjin University. He was allocated an apartment a few years ago. For his own convenience and to make it closer to his son Wang Sheng's school, the whole family of four moved there.

Only Wang Zhenhua and his son Wangwang still live next to the elderly couple.

Yan Xiaoqing brought a considerable dowry with her back then. Although the Wang family's business is far less successful than Yan Liti's, the Wang family is not short of money.

Yan Xiaoqing wasn't one to indulge in extravagance; in such a large courtyard house, she only hired two maids.

One helps with cooking, and the other helps with cleaning.

There were no other idle people in the house.

When Qiao Qiao and her group arrived at the courtyard house, it wasn't Sunday yet, and her three cousins, Wang Sheng, Wang Chun, and Wang Wang, were all at school.

"The younger ones haven't finished school yet. Auntie, you should rest first. Once the younger ones are out of school and the driver picks them up, we'll go to the Jinping Hotel to welcome you back."

After personally escorting the people to the pre-arranged room, Wang Zhenhua smiled and said to them.

Jinping Hotel is the most famous and prestigious hotel in Jinshi, a century-old establishment.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about us. We'll just rest for a while. You can go do whatever you need to do," Yan Liti said without any politeness.

Wang Zhenhua does indeed have other things to attend to.

He was always halfway through his work when Old Master Wang ordered him to go to Kyoto to pick up the person. Old Master Wang said that this was his aunt's first time visiting, and he had to pick her up personally to show his sincerity.

It wasn't that Wang Zhenhua was unwilling, but he really had two very important things to do today: one was to hold an important meeting, and the other was to meet a very important person.

But I couldn't disobey Mr. Wang, so I had no choice but to call off an important meeting and now I have to rush back to continue the meeting.

After Wang Zhenhua left, Grandma Qiao looked a little tired. The group coaxed her to go to bed and rest first, and then, led by the old couple, they went to visit the courtyard house.

Around three or four in the afternoon, the three boys from the Wang family were brought back by the driver.

Qiao Qiao was being led by Qiao Changdong to buy sugar figurines in a small alley not far from the main gate of the courtyard house.

Watching the vendors transform the syrup into sugar figurines resembling various small animals, Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to blink.

Even when she heard her three cousins ​​calling her from behind, she couldn't bear to turn around and only gave a vague reply.

Wang Chun and Wang Wang jogged all the way from the alley entrance, while Wang Sheng, carrying three schoolbags, lagged behind.

Wang Chun ran to Qiao Qiao's side first, and seeing her staring at the sugar figurines without blinking, he quickly said, "Little sister, you like these? I'll buy them for you. I have pocket money!"

The dog next to him wanted to be as domineering as its older brother, but unfortunately, it had already used up all its allowance for the day.

However, he was quick-witted. Seeing that Wang Chun had said that, he replied, "Since Second Brother has said so, then Second Brother will buy it first, and I'll buy it for my sister next time."

"You've got a way with words, kid." Qiao Changdong laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Uncle."

Only then did Wang Chun and Wang Wang notice that there was another Qiao Changdong nearby, and they quickly called out to him.

"Uncle."

At that moment, Wang Sheng also came over and called for people.

Wang Sheng is fifteen years old this year. He is a young man with a refined and elegant demeanor, which may be related to his parents' work. He has a scholarly air about him.

He had a backpack on his back and two other things in his hands, which were obviously his two younger brothers.

Judging from his posture, it seemed like he was used to carrying his younger brothers' schoolbags. He wasn't angry at all, and when Wang Chun asked him for money to buy candy, he good-naturedly took out the money.

Sugar figurines aren't cheap; one costs three cents.

Wang Sheng bought eight, but he didn't keep any for himself. Instead, he bought two for each of his three younger siblings, and the other two were for Fu Yu, who was still staying in the courtyard.

Fu Yu was intelligent and liked to read on his own. When Yan Xiaoqing found out, she took him to her library.

Yan Xiaoqing's library is no ordinary library.

Not only are there many valuable paintings and calligraphy inside, but there are also many precious books and rare editions that were almost destroyed during the war, which she recovered after almost spending most of her family fortune.

Normally, even if her grandsons want to go in, they have to get her approval first.

Now, however, he is willing to let Fu Yu go in and look around freely, which shows how much he likes Fu Yu.

Fu Yu also knew the importance of that library, which was why he was willing to stay in the courtyard reading instead of going out with Qiao Qiao.

They won't stay in Jinshi for long. Yan Xiaoqing is willing for him to go in and look around, but that doesn't mean she'll be willing for him to take the books out and carry them with him.

Therefore, he now wants to read as much as possible within the limited time he has.
