Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Li Ji took the initiative to help again and again, disrupting Jiang Yin's original arrangements and plans. But at the same time, his help also saved Jiang Yin a lot of worries.

Jiang Yin herself understood that Li Ji was probably really in love with her.

She frowned, and for a moment she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Jiang Si Niang raised her hand to smooth her brows and said, "Don't worry, we are here. This favor is not owed by you, but by us, the Jiang family. The Jiang family will repay it."

Indeed, such a great favor cannot be placed on A Yin alone.

However, Jiang Yin shook his head and said, "I am now the head of the Jiang family. I represent the Jiang family, so I have to pay it back."

She continued, "Don't worry, Si Niang. I know what's going on and I'll make sure everything is arranged."

She felt that she should have a good talk with Li Ji. Or, maybe, she should reveal something to him.

But the sources of the things she revealed were problematic. And there was only a conclusion, without any specific details. In the end, Li Ji had to find out for himself.

She thought about it all night, and finally wrote a letter to Li Ji before leaving, and asked Si Niang to find someone to pass it on.

It revealed Zhao Sheng's intention to rebel. Of course, she did not write it directly, but said some unusual things in a roundabout way.

I believe these things can give Li Ji direction and he won't have to go too far astray.

After resting for a night in Huangshan, Jiang Yin set out directly from Huangshan and prepared to return to Mengshan.

As for Zhao Sheng, she also left someone there. If there were any special circumstances, her people would promptly inform her.

Before leaving, Jiang Si Niang handed a letter to Jiang Yin, and said with reluctance: "Don't worry, Yin, I am here in Huangshan, nothing will go wrong.

Please take this letter to your fourth uncle and tell him that I am waiting for him here."

How could they not miss each other as a couple living far apart from each other? However, for the sake of their future, they could only be separated for a short period of time.

Once everything is back on track in Huangshan, she can go back to Mengshan first.

As for Fang Wenyuan, after the imperial examination, whether he succeeds or not, he will find a way to come to Huizhou.

Jiang Yin took the letter from her hand, walked forward and gently hugged her, comforting her: "Take care, Si Niang, I will come to see you often."

There were some moisture in her eyes. Although she was reluctant to leave, she still had to say goodbye temporarily.

"Go ahead, and have a safe journey." Jiang Si Niang waved her hand, signaling Jiang Yin to leave quickly.

After Jiang Yin left, she took the letter and went to Huizhou from another route.

Li Ji was still living in the inn he stayed in that day, so it was easy for Jiang Si Niang to find him.

Li Ji, who was in the inn, hadn't seen Jiang Yin for a few days. He originally thought that Jiang Yin would come to see him after returning, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Jiang Si Niang.

Hearing Jiang Si Niang's words, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Miss Jiang went back?"

This showed how much she didn't want to see him, she just left without even saying hello.

He felt a little helpless, it seemed that he still had a long way to go.

Jiang Si Niang nodded and said, "The family affairs are busy, she has to go back to take charge of the overall situation. Besides, the matter of Mengshan tea is not understood yet, so she dare not stay here for too long."

I don’t know if the tea that was shipped back earlier has arrived, so I have to go back and check.

Li Ji did not embarrass Jiang Si Niang, but only bowed his hands and thanked her: "Thank you for telling me. If you have any difficulties here in the future, you can go to the prefect."

In this way, Jiang Yin’s worries were relieved.

The Jiang family has no roots in Huangshan. Without someone to support them, they would probably be unable to move forward.

Hearing this, Jiang Si Niang bowed and said, "Mr. Li has helped me a lot, so I dare not trouble you again. I am upright and I think there should be no problem."

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay. If I owe more, Yin will be worried to death.

Li Ji didn't force it. He would ask his people to take care of it privately. The prefect had also informed him, so there wouldn't be any big problems.

Jiang Si Niang didn't know this, and Jiang Yin, who was already on his way back to Mengshan, didn't know this either.

He didn't even know that Li Ji had also set out for Mount Meng immediately after Jiang Si Niang left. It was not until he happened to meet Li Ji and his men while taking a break one day.

Li Ji got off his horse and said with a hearty smile, "Miss Jiang, are you going back? What a coincidence, I am going back too, shall we go together?"

"It's quite a coincidence indeed." Jiang Yin sighed inwardly, but still bowed and said, "I won't disturb Mr. Li from doing his work. We are riding in a horse carriage, and it moves slowly."

She felt a little annoyed. Who knew that this man would catch up with her? If she had known earlier, she would have asked Si Niang to give the letter to Li Ji a day or two later.

However, Li Ji pretended not to understand Jiang Yin's intention to drive him away.

Instead, he pretended to be calm and said, "I have finished my business in Huizhou, so I am not in a hurry to go back. If we travel together, we can also deter those bandits who block the road."

Since he has made his feelings clear, he will definitely not leave so easily.

Jiang Yin was silent for a moment, knowing that he could not drive Li Ji away, so he stopped struggling.

I just invited him to sit down and eat some dry food together.

"You're just eating this?" Looking at Jiang Yin eating dry food, Li Ji frowned and said, "Wait, I'll go hunting and come back to give you some more."

How can a delicate girl like you eat such dry food?

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the mountain. Jiang Yin quickly said, "Don't bother. It's out in the wilderness here. Just eat some dry food to fill your stomach."

She had to finish her meal quickly and then hurry on her way. She had to reach the city where she was staying before dark.

However, Li Ji refused and said, "I will be back soon, wait for me here."

He didn't care about Jiang Yin's reaction and went straight into the mountains to hunt using his Qinggong skills.

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the dry food in his hand, he didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Xiao Luo came over and whispered, "Madam, is it possible that Mr. Li is worried about you and came all the way here to go back with us?"

The journey took nearly half a month. The journey was safe and sound, but the return journey might be a different story.

If Li Ji were here, their safety would be better guaranteed.

"How can your wife be so capable?" Jiang Yin glared at her and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. Who knows, she might go back first."

"Oh~" Xiao Luo said meaningfully, seeing through everything but not saying it out loud.

In fact, she could see that her wife didn't hate Li Ji, but she had too many concerns and didn't open her heart.

"Go away, stop teasing me." Jiang Yin said unhappily, "If you have the time, go and cut up the fruit in the car. You can't eat other people's food for free."

When Li Ji takes action, he must hunt prey, and he will definitely let Jiang Yin eat it.

She doesn't like to eat for free, she still needs to reciprocate.

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Luo stood up and saluted, then cut the fruit plate according to his wife's instructions.

They did bring enough food, but their wives wanted to leave the delicious food for later.
