Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 170 Arriving in Beijing

Jiang Yin was relieved that Jiang Erniang didn't treat Xie Daoyun's family harshly.

Between Xie Daoyun and the chief priest, the Jiang family members naturally had to stand on Xie Daoyun's side.

Because of her as the middleman and Jiang Xiaoya, Jiang Erniang and Xie Daoyun, who originally had no major conflicts, quickly reconciled and continued to stick together.

Jiang Yin was happy to see this happen. He even took Jiang Xiaoya away and sat alone in her carriage so as not to affect their love.

There was nothing special about this trip, and they were not in a hurry to travel. So, after playing around for 22 days, they finally arrived in Tokyo.

It was already late when we arrived in Tokyo, but the city was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Jiang Yin was shocked and said, "This is the best era ever."

It is more prosperous and lively than Chengdu, which is quite rare.

Xiao Luo said excitedly: "Madam, do you want to go down and take a look?"

Ever since the eldest lady and her husband left, the lady hasn't gone shopping properly for a long time.

However, Jiang Yin shook his head and said, "We won't go today. It's been a long journey. Let's go back and rest first. We'll come back tomorrow."

She paused and said teasingly, "Don't worry, we have to stay in Tokyo for many days, there is plenty of time to go shopping."

There was nothing to do in Mengshan anyway, so she could stay there as long as she wanted.

Xiao Luo blushed slightly and said angrily, "I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Xiaoya lowered the car curtain, turned around and said excitedly: "I'm anxious, I'm anxious, I'm anxious."

Jiang Yin smiled, but still didn't let them get off the car to go shopping.

I've just arrived and I don't know anything yet, so it's better to be low-key and behave myself.

Otherwise, in a place like Tokyo where officials are everywhere, it would be easy to offend others.

Unable to go out and play, Jiang Xiaoya looked depressed and not very happy.

But soon when he arrived at the new mansion, he became excited again.

Fang Wenyuan, who had already received the news, was waiting at the door with his housekeeper and all the servants.

Only when he saw the carriage stop did he raise the corner of his mouth and walk forward.

"Fourth uncle." Jiang Xiaoya jumped off the carriage first, hugged Fang Wenyuan happily and said, "Fourth uncle, how are you these days? Have you been studying hard?

The autumn exam is coming soon, Fourth Uncle can’t indulge in the prosperity of the capital, he must strive to pass the exam with good results. "

Since Fourth Mother is not around, as a member of the Jiang family, he has the responsibility to help supervise Fourth Uncle.

Tokyo is a bustling city, but we can't let our fourth uncle become addicted to it and neglect his studies.

Fang Wenyuan caught him and said with a warm smile, "Thank you for your concern, Xiaoya. I have been reading carefully recently and have not been out for fun.

Don't worry, I will study hard and try to pass the exam with a good score."

He answered Jiang Xiaoya's questions patiently and did not give him a perfunctory answer just because Jiang Xiaoya was a child.

"You little rascal, where did you learn such nonsense?" Jiang Si Niang got off the carriage with the help of Xie Daoyun's hand, hurried over, grabbed Jiang Xiaoya's ear and pulled him out.

At such a young age, he has learned to speak like adults. That's not right.

Jiang Xiaoya covered her ears and said unconvincedly: "This is what I really think."

Fourth uncle is the most promising person in the family, he must keep a close eye on him and not let him go astray.

Jiang Si Niang glared at him, then looked at Fang Wenyuan, and said rather embarrassedly: "Sorry, fourth brother-in-law, Xiaoya is a spoiled child, and she speaks without restraint."

Looking at the servants' inquiring eyes, if Xiaoya was not her biological son, she would have wanted to cover her face and leave.

Fang Wenyuan smiled and said, "Second sister, you are too kind. Xiaoya is doing this for my own good."

How could he blame a child who was just a kid? Besides, what Xiaoya said made sense.

Jiang Yin quickly replied, "Let's not stand here, let's go in quickly. I'm exhausted from all the traveling."

She looked up at the house. Although this three-courtyard mansion was not as luxurious as the one in Chengdu, it was also very decent, and she liked it.

The official was very good at reading people's faces, and he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "We have already prepared wine and food to welcome you and the masters. Masters, follow me and be careful on the steps."

Jiang Yin nodded and said, "Thank you, Steward Liu."

Butler Liu came with the house when he bought it, and even half of the servants were from the original mansion.

Although Jiang Yin had never met them, he learned a lot from the letters he received, so he kept them for the time being.

Whether they will be retained in the future depends entirely on how they behave and do things.

"I dare not." Butler Liu said humbly and fearfully, "It is my blessing to be able to work for my wife."

Jiang Yin smiled and said nothing. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Anything would be discussed tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Jiang Yin got up to have breakfast and passed by the lobby, he found two people sitting in the lobby.

One of them is Fang Wenyuan and the other is Li Ji.

She was startled and asked unhappily, "Why are you two sitting there without saying a word?"

The man was so scary that he just sat there, saying nothing and making no movement.

"Miss Jiang." Li Ji strode forward and bowed, "Miss Jiang, why didn't you tell me that you were coming to Beijing? I could have come to welcome you."

A day without seeing you feels like three years, let alone a month without seeing you.

Jiang Yin said unhappily, "Mr. Li, don't you know that I'm here?"

She had only arrived last night, and Li Ji had come this morning. She didn't believe that he hadn't sent someone to monitor her residence.

Li Ji touched his nose and said awkwardly, "What a coincidence. I just happened to know about it and came here to give you some new information."

He knew that Jiang Yin must want to find out the news in the capital, so he came here early in the morning.

"Ayin hasn't had breakfast yet." Fang Wenyuan said quietly, "Brother Li, why don't you wait a little longer?"

This guy's calculations have exploded in his face, and he doesn't even know how to restrain himself.

However, Li Ji not only did not restrain himself, but also pushed forward and said: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten either, let's eat together."

Fang Wenyuan: ...

Jiang Yin: ...

However, since everyone was here, Jiang Yin couldn't chase him away, so he could only invite him to have breakfast together.

Fang Wenyuan, a man of good manners, would not let the two of them stay in the same room alone. So, he followed them to have breakfast.

He became more and more familiar with Li Ji, thanks to Li Ji who would come to the mansion from time to time to hang out and inquire about Jiang Yin's news.

He already knew Li Ji's identity, but he would not allow him to contact Jiang Yin.

The three of them had breakfast in silence, and Jiang Yin persuaded Fang Wenyuan to go study under Li Ji's resentful eyes.

Jiang Yin took Li Ji to the study, the door was open, and Xiao Luo was guarding outside.

Jiang Yin personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ji and said slowly, "Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

She sighed in her heart. Since the news was delivered to her door, it would be inappropriate for her not to accept it. It would be better to wait for Li Ji to speak out, and she would listen to whatever he wanted to say.

"Good tea." Li Ji answered the question irrelevantly, took a sip of the tea and exclaimed, "Is this Huizhou tea?"
