The shopkeeper of Capital City's Ji Wei Ju main branch, Hong Qian, personally stood at the city gates to welcome Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang. He had received a letter from Shopkeeper He in advance and had been waiting here since yesterday, for a full two days.
As a confidant of Yu Ang, he was aware of Tong Sanlang's identity. Seeing Tong Sanlang seated at the carriage door, he immediately took a few steps forward, his face beaming with a smile, and asked, "Is this the esteemed Tong Zhan, Tong Juren?"
To outsiders, it seemed that Qiao Xiaomai and her husband, Tong Sanlang, had a good relationship with Ji Wei Ju. With their support, Ji Wei Ju had made a considerable amount of silver last year. Now that the couple had come to Capital City, it was only fitting that the shopkeeper of Ji Wei Ju, Hong Qian, would come out to greet them personally.
