Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Before Aunt Fu brought the food, the guards had already explained everything in a few words.

It turned out to be exactly as Aunt Fu said. Some of the clansmen in the old house did go to the mountains, some went to Yazhou, and some went to the provincial capital.

Let’s not talk about those who went to Yazhou and Fucheng for now, let’s talk about those who went to the mountains. Although they all went to the mountains, the reasons were different.

Originally, not all of these tribesmen were going to the mountain. The reason they all went this time was to avoid her.

As for the reason for avoiding her, it was because she was close to the Zhang family and they were worried that she would be bewitched and let the tea mountain be snatched away by the Zhang family.

So, they simply packed up all their luggage and moved to a house not far away that was specially built for servants to live in.

The house over there is also very big, enough to accommodate everyone in the old house.

Hence, the current situation. In the old house, there was only her and her people.

Jiang Yin pinched her brows and felt a little headache. She never knew that the people in the old house hated her so much.

But in fact, if she had not been reborn, the things that the tribe members were worried about would have happened.

But now it’s different, she is reborn and will not let that happen.

However, this is just her own idea and does not represent what the tribe members think.

But how to regain the trust of the tribe members is still a problem.

Just when I was having a headache, Aunt Fu came to the lobby with bird's nest and food.

Aunt Fu said softly, "Young lady, please have your meal first, and we can take our time with other matters."

As she spoke, she felt a little sorry for Jiang Yin and said, "I'm afraid they all have ulterior motives. Young lady, you must be careful and cautious, and don't be soft-hearted. You still have to teach them the lesson they deserve."

Now is a good time to establish your authority. Once you get over this hurdle, everything will go smoothly for your young lady.

Jiang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "The problem with the tea mountain has not been solved yet, so we should focus on this matter. As for the other things, it won't be too late to talk about them later."

What she needs to do now is to win over the people's hearts, rather than stand against them and teach them a lesson first.

But if she found out that the matter of the tea mountain was related to her tribe, she would not be merciful.

However, it was not easy to tell Aunt Fu about these things, so she only mentioned them briefly and started eating.

After quickly finishing her meal, she changed her clothes and went directly to the tea mountain with Xiao Luo and Wang Heng.

Wang Heng had been to the tea mountain before and had investigated on the spot where the problems occurred.

Therefore, even if there were no other tribesmen to lead the way, Wang Heng could take her directly to the location of the problem.

There were problems with the tea trees on the hillsides of Jiang family’s Shangqing Peak and Lingjiao Peak.

There is a royal tea garden on Shangqing Peak. Jiang Yin did not dare to be careless, so he asked Wang Heng to take him to Shangqing Peak first.

However, before she reached the top of the mountain, she ran into Shen Gan at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Shen Gan was arguing with her Jiang family members. Seeing her coming, Shen Gan hurried over to greet her.

"Niece, you came just in time." Shen Gan said angrily, "I heard that there was a problem with your Jiang family's tea mountain, so I ran all the way here, ready to go up the mountain to help. I didn't expect that your mountain guard would be so kind and wouldn't let me go up. Niece, tell me, how should we punish them?"

Perhaps because he was blinded by anger, he looked at Jiang Yin with a look of complete self-righteousness. It seemed that it was normal for Jiang Yin to follow his wishes and compliment him.

Jiang Yin said expressionlessly: "Really?"

Punishment? It is impossible to punish, the right thing to do is to reward.

The mountain guard is not allowed to let anyone in except the Jiang family members and servants.

"Yes, of course." Shen Gan took over and continued, "If Brother Zhang hadn't asked me for help, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business and endured this humiliation."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and put on an air of waiting for Jiang Yin to beg him.

The mountain guards on the side didn't say anything, but just kept a tense face, ready to see what Jiang Yin would do.

Jiang Yin certainly would not do as Shen Gan wished. She raised her lips slightly and asked, "What is the Master Shen saying? Zhang Yuanzhi asked you for help, so why don't you go to his tea mountain to help? Why come to my Jiang family's tea mountain?"

Zhang Yuanzhi meant nothing to her. She wished to end everything completely and have nothing to do with him anymore.

And these three families with ulterior motives, don't get involved with her, it's very unlucky.

Besides, the incident on the tea mountain was most likely caused by them. He wanted to go up there so much, but he didn't know what he was going to do.

Shen Gan didn't expect Jiang Yin to say that. His face froze and he said, "Where is the tea mountain in the Zhang family? He is talking about this place."

"You also know that the Zhang family has no tea mountain?" Jiang Yin's face turned cold. "Master Shen may have forgotten what I said a few days ago. The Jiang family is still alive. As long as the Jiang family is still with these two tea mountains, it will not be the Zhang family's turn to make the decision, and there is no need for you to intervene. Please go back, Master Shen."

Everyone thought she was just saying that out of anger, right? So she made it clear today and would not allow anyone else to interfere in Jiang's affairs.

Shen Gan took a deep breath, stared at Jiang Yin with wide eyes and said, "Are you serious, little girl? How can you maintain the Jiang family without the support of your second uncle?"

"Don't worry about it, Master Shen." Jiang Yin said coldly, "As long as I live, I will take care of the Jiang family. As for backers, our Jiang family has never relied on backers to start our business."

She raised her hand and said, "Master Shen, please go back. You are not welcome here."

Going up to help sounds good, but who knows if he went up to poison.

If he were really allowed to go up, it might not be a problem halfway up the mountain, but a problem for the entire mountain.

"Good, very good!" Shen Gan pointed at her and gritted his teeth, "You Jiang family are really good at burning bridges after crossing the river, repaying kindness with hatred, it's a pity that Fugui entered the government office for you yesterday."

Jiang Yin quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't do that. Your Fugui got into a fight and went to jail on his own. Don't say it was because of me."

At this point, she paused and said meaningfully: "As for the reason for the fight, I suggest that Master Shen go home and ask. After all, there is no smoke without fire. If the death of my parents is really related to you, then I will not show mercy."

Everyone who watched last night knew why they fought. Even if she didn't say it now, Shen Gan would know.

Shen Gan's face froze, and even his voice became softer: "What are you talking about, niece? Don't believe such rumors."

He sighed and pretended to be helpless, "Since my niece doesn't need help, I will go back first. You are a young lady, if you need any help in the future, just come to the mansion to find me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Jiang Yin to reply.

But the moment Shen Gan turned around, Jiang Yin saw his face suddenly turn gloomy.

Jiang Yin pursed her lips and stood there staring at Shen Gan's back. After a long while, when she could no longer see Shen Gan's back, she came back to her senses.
