Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Uncle Wang didn't ask any questions about going to Huizhou. After all, it was the master's business, and the master couldn't tell him everything.

If the master is willing to talk to him about his affairs, he will listen and give some advice. If he is unwilling to talk, he will not force it, and he will just do what he should do.

Jiang Yin felt warm in his heart. After all, Uncle Wang was closer to him.

She shook her head and said, "The situation over there is complicated, Uncle Wang should stay in the city."

She wants to protect this only pure land in the city.

Uncle Wang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find someone."

He turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Yin quickly stopped him, "Wait, Uncle Wang, follow me first."

Huizhou is a long way away, and she needs Uncle Wang's advice.

If Jiang Yin didn't say anything, Uncle Wang wouldn't interfere without permission. But if she asked, Uncle Wang would analyze everything he could think of for her.

The two chatted for about half an hour. No one else knew what they talked about except the two of them.

But after coming out of the study, Jiang Yin's sadness faded a lot. Coincidentally, Xiao Luo also brought back news.

"How is it? My aunt is in the prefectural government. Is Prefect Fan willing to see me?" She went back to the study, poured herself a cup of tea, and looked up at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo bowed and said, "My lady, Magistrate Fan is not in the mansion. The Magistrate's wife asked Luo Rihou to go to the mansion, and the Magistrate was there at that time."

She paused, then added, "The prefect's wife did not mention Aunt Feng."

Is it intentional or unintentional?

In short, the prefecture simply ignored the issue of Aunt Feng.

"After sunset?" Jiang Yin pursed her lips and said, "Okay, go to the storehouse and pick out a set of good tea sets, and get two cans of Mengshan tea. After sunset, we will go to visit the prefectural government."

Since Magistrate Fan is not in the government office, he must be in the military camp.

Aunt Feng was most likely with the prefect. Otherwise, the prefect's wife would not have allowed her to go there after sunset.

While waiting, Jiang Yin was not idle. She counted all the things she was going to take with her.

Try to travel as light as possible on this trip, but make sure you bring enough silver so you can exchange it for copper coins when you get to Huangshan.

In addition to the silver, she also brought a few gold bars in case of emergency.

She sewed a few gold bars into her clothes, and part of the silver was sewn into her clothes, and the rest was put in a locked wooden box.

Jiang Yin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. It would be great if there was a simpler way so that he wouldn't have to carry gold and silver with him on the road.

If she encountered robbers on the road, no matter where she hid the gold, it would be found.

She lowered her eyes to look at the pile of things, and directly pressed them all into the box, and put some other clothes in the box. Then she locked it and temporarily put it in the closet.

After doing all this, it was almost sunset.

Jiang Yin locked the door of the room and rushed to the prefectural government with the gifts.

The gift chosen was a set of fine Ru porcelain tea set and two cans of Mengshan tea from stock.

Although it is not expensive, it is reasonable and not offensive for a first visit.

Perhaps the prefect's wife had specifically instructed him to do so, for as soon as Jiang Yin's carriage arrived at the prefect's mansion gate, a servant came forward to lead the way.

Going around the screen wall and passing through the flower-filled courtyard and corridor, Jiang Yin saw Aunt Feng and Mr. and Mrs. Fan Chunren drinking tea in the pavilion at the end of the corridor.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and the scene was very harmonious.

As expected, Aunt Feng and Fan Chunren were acquainted with each other. It seemed that they had a good relationship.

Jiang Yin smiled and bowed respectfully to Fan Chunren and Madam Fan, saying, "Excuse me, Magistrate Fan and Madam Fan. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here without permission."

As she bowed, Aunt Feng came forward, took her hand, and said to Fan Chunren and his wife with a smile, "This is the Ah Yin I mentioned to you before. She is a good child, but her life is a bit hard."

As she spoke, she tucked the hair around Jiang Yin's ears.

What a miserable life! She became an orphan at such a young age.

Jiang Yin's cheeks turned slightly red, and she was a little at a loss. After all, Magistrate Fan and Mrs. Fan had not paid any attention to her.

However, as soon as Aunt Feng finished speaking, Mrs. Fan gave her face and agreed, "Good child, no need to be so polite."

Jiang Yin glanced and saw Mrs. Fan secretly pinching Fan Zhizhou. Her eyelids twitched slightly and she had some guesses in her mind.

As expected, Fan Zhizhou immediately responded, "Get up and sit next to your aunt Feng."

"Thank you, Magistrate and Madam. I will just stand." Jiang Yin quickly stood up, took the things from Xiao Luo's hand and handed them to Madam Fan.

"I heard that Madam loves to drink tea, so I found a set of Ru porcelain tea sets. Madam, you can try it when you are free." She continued to explain, "But this year's Mengshan new tea has to be confiscated by the government, so you can only drink the old tea from previous years."

She handed the tea set and Mengshan tea to Mrs. Fan with both hands.

This action caused Fan Zhizhou to roll his eyes again: "Oh, the little girl can read people's expressions, aren't you blind now?"

He just couldn't stand these blind young people who were so fooled by a few sweet words that they couldn't even tell east from west or south from north.

If we march and fight, it will be over sooner or later.

Mrs. Fan glared at him, took the tea set and tea leaves and put them aside.

Then, he pulled Jiang Yin and said affectionately: "Good boy, you have a good heart, don't pay attention to him."

No one is perfect. This little girl has already changed. Why are you still harping on her mistakes?

However, Mrs. Fan's smile did not reach her eyes.

Jiang Yin knew that he was still disliked, probably because of what he said to his aunt before his rebirth.

But she couldn't explain in detail, and could only say with guilt: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed the prefect and his wife. I was young and ignorant and did many wrong things in the past. Now I have finally come to my senses.

With past experience and lessons learned, I will never do such stupid things again in the future."

Unless she turns back to her pre-rebirth self, she will never make the same mistakes again.

Hearing this, Fan Zhizhou's expression improved a lot.

But he still said awkwardly: "Alright, alright, I know you have changed. If you haven't changed, you can't enter this house."

"Speak less." Mrs. Fan glared at him again, and this time, the smile in her eyes deepened.

Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief silently, as long as he didn't affect their relationship with his aunt.

She glanced at Aunt Feng secretly and had a lot to say to her alone.

Seeing this, Mrs. Feng stood up and said, "Okay, I have bothered you for so long, I should go back, and we will meet again another day."

Mrs. Fan also stood up, with a look of reluctance on her face: "It's a rare visit for you, why don't you stay for a while?"

They have been in the provincial capital for these years, but there has not been much contact or communication.

She wanted Mrs. Feng to come and play with her every day, but unfortunately Mrs. Feng didn't want to, and didn't want her to go to her either.

Of course, she still went to Feng's house secretly, but less frequently.

If the situation wasn't special this time, I don't think Mrs. Feng would be willing to come.
