Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Ji actually brought a bunch of seasonings and used them on the pheasants and rabbits he shot back.

Jiang Yin smelled the spicy aroma coming from the fire, tilted his head and asked Li Ji in confusion, "Mr. Li, are you used to the spicy food in Shu?"

In her impression, people in many places in the north cannot eat spicy food.

Li Ji tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, the spicy taste of Shuzhong is unique. Anyone who has tasted it will find it hard not to like it."

In fact, he only tried spicy food after coming to Shu.

Of course, it wasn't just this time when I came here as an inspector that I started doing this. I had already started trying it when I visited my aunt in the past.

Seeing this, Jiang Yin didn't say anything more, but waited quietly for the barbecue.

Instead, Li Ji took the initiative to say, "I haven't thanked you yet. I read the letter you asked the Fourth Lady to bring me today. It was of great help to me."

He paused, but continued, "And the letter you gave me before. If it weren't for that letter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to trace the cheating husband."

It is even more impossible to trace the final buyer through those porters.

What was even more unexpected was that the buyer was actually related to Zhao Sheng.

Trading tea for horses, Mengshan tea is of great use, what on earth does Zhao Sheng want to do?

He was telling the truth. If it weren't for Jiang Yin's letter, he would never have thought that Zhao Sheng would have such thoughts.

"It's just a small favor, don't mention it." Jiang Yin waved his hand and said, "My parents faced so many intrigues and deceptions back then, but they always left some useful clues for me.

However, these clues are useless to me, and I can't do anything. I just want to help you."

She calmly attributed the source of the information to her parents. Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain this alone.

Li Ji brought this up specifically, probably with the intention of testing the waters.

"So that's the information they found out." As expected, Li Ji looked much more relaxed, but he still said seriously, "Don't tell anyone else about this information. If others get to know about it, they might cause trouble for you."

Especially since Zhao Sheng was a vengeful person, he was determined to kill Jiang Yin.

"Of course." Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow and said, "As long as Mr. Li has no problem."

Apart from her, only Li Ji knew the contents of the letter. Even Xiao Luo and Jiang Si Niang didn't know.

Unless she told anyone else, it was Li Ji who revealed it.

"What do you think of me, Miss Jiang?" Li Ji said with a bit of displeasure on his face. "This matter is known only to heaven and earth, and only to you and me. But don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

With him around, Jiang Yin would never get into trouble under his nose.

Jiang Yin didn't comment and changed the subject, "You saved my people earlier, so I have to thank you. That letter is my thank you gift."

No matter how Li Ji saw it, in her eyes, that letter was enough.

Li Ji was speechless and said, "I am also seeking revenge for myself. You don't have to feel any psychological burden."

Everything was calculated so clearly that he felt powerless.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "I don't like to owe favors to others, but Mr. Li has helped me many times, and I owe him a lot. Now I can pay back a little bit, so that I can feel better."

It is impossible not to pay it back, but I don’t know when I can pay it back.

Li Ji pursed his lips and said casually: "I can repay you for saving my life, if..."

"No if."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin put down the meat in his hand, stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you Mr. Li for the game."

After she finished speaking, she turned back to the carriage and told Yan Ge'er to set off immediately.

Seeing her come back with an unhappy face, Xiao Luo quickly asked, "What's wrong with you, madam?"

Just now, only his wife and Li Ji were barbecuing over there, and the rest of them were waiting not far away.

I don’t know what the two of them said, but my wife didn’t even eat the meat. She just got up and left.

"It's okay, let's go." Jiang Yin leaned in the car, closed his eyes and didn't want to talk.

Although some misunderstandings have been resolved, she still cannot accept Li Ji without any reservations.

If possible, she only wants to live alone in this life. Jiang's family is not without useful descendants, such as Jiang Xiaoya, who is believed to be able to support Jiang's family in the future.

As for Li Ji, with his status, he can always find a suitable partner.

Xiao Luo didn't dare to ask any more questions when seeing this. She just helped to fan Jiang Yin with a palm-leaf fan to cool him down.

The carriage swayed slowly towards the next city, and when Jiang Yin woke up, they had already arrived at the nearby town.

Wang Heng had arranged an inn in advance, so Jiang Yin could check in directly after getting off the car.

She thought that after she refused directly, Li Ji would not go with her. But she didn't expect that when she got off the carriage, Li Ji also got off the horse and walked towards the inn.

Jiang Yin paused slightly after getting off the carriage, then retracted his gaze and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

After returning to her room, she did not go out again. Even the dinner and the next day's breakfast were brought to her room, which made Li Ji, who was waiting downstairs, very helpless.

It was not until they stopped to rest on the second day that Li Ji found an opportunity to talk to Jiang Yin.

This time he did not joke, but bowed solemnly to Jiang Yin and said, "I was too frivolous and reckless yesterday. I hope Miss Jiang will forgive me."

He had no idea that just one sentence would cause Jiang Yin to turn around and leave. He thought that after all that had happened during this period of time, her attitude towards him would at least be more relaxed.

Jiang Yin nodded slightly and said calmly: "It's good that Mr. Li knows it. Don't make such jokes again in the future."

Li Ji pursed his lips. He wanted to say that he was not joking, but he didn't dare to continue.

Forget it, if she thought it was a joke, then it was a joke, as long as she continued to pay attention to him.

Jiang Yin didn't want to have an awkward interaction with Li Ji, but after sitting in the carriage for so long, he had to get off and walk slowly.

She didn't eat any dry food during this break, but asked Xiao Luo to take out the food she packed in town and just heat it up a little before eating.

When the food was served, Li Ji looked at it eagerly. Even Jiang Yin couldn't ignore his expression.

In desperation, Jiang Yin had to ask Xiao Luo to invite him to come and eat together.

Li Ji immediately strode over without even thinking of refusing.

There was great silence during the entire meal, which made Xiao Luo feel very uncomfortable.

She said that these two people were too polite and restrained, and how could there be a future like this.

Of course, my wife is definitely not wrong. Even if there is a mistake, it is Li Ji's fault and has nothing to do with my wife.

A grown man, being so hesitant and unable to make his wife happy, left her speechless.

Jiang Yin had no idea what Xiao Luo was thinking. Even if she knew, she would just think that Xiao Luo was just imagining things.

During the next three days of the trip, Jiang Yin and Li Ji maintained this inexplicable atmosphere and no one said much.

Li Ji wanted to speak, but Jiang Yin avoided him intentionally or unintentionally.
