Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin's parents passed away suddenly, leaving the huge Jiang family without anyone to take over, and there was no time to make the handover.

Although the Jiang family has always been united and helpful, it is normal for some people to have other ideas under such a great temptation.

However, Jiang Yin, who had been reborn, would never let the Jiang family fall into the hands of others.

She looked cold and said, "Go, why not? I don't believe they dare to attack me openly."

Everything about the household registration is with her. No one can take Jiang away unless she is willing. She just wants to catch them off guard.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin pulled Er Niang and hurried home.

Currently, the house where Jiang Er Niang and her family live is not far from the old house, but it is closer to the tea mountains.

Looking from far down the mountain, you can still see the smoke coming out of the chimney of the house.

Jiang Yin took Er Niang and quickly came to the door of the house. This house was also called Jiang Mansion, but it was basically inhabited by people from more distant branches, as well as permanent and temporary workers.

Before entering the door, Jiang Yin heard laughter coming from inside. They seemed to be gathered together in the yard, eating.

She raised her eyebrows, then reached out and pushed the door open.

Sure enough, there were five tables of people sitting in the yard, and they were eating and talking and laughing.

"Everyone, are you eating?" Jiang Yin walked in with her hands held high, but when she saw the dishes on the table, her face changed and she said, "My Jiang family is not so poor that you can't have meat to eat. Where's the meat? Why don't you have the meat you request every day?"

She looked at the dishes on several tables, which were full of green leafy vegetables and even wild vegetables.

There was not even a trace of meat in the children's bowls, which made me sadder the more I saw it.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary day, but now is the critical period for growing tea, and people are needed everywhere to guard it.

We don't need to eat a lot of meat or fish, but at least we need to have one meat dish every day. Besides, the child is still growing, how can he grow up well if he eats these every day?

Could it be that the housekeeper of the mansion embezzled the money and blamed the clan members and servants?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin's eyes became sharp as he stared at his third uncle Wan Sheng who was sitting at the main table.

Wansheng is in charge of the management of the old house. Now that there is a problem, the first person that comes to mind is of course Wansheng.

Wansheng shuddered when she stared at him and quickly stepped out to smooth things over.

"Why are you here, Yin? This place is shabby and I'm afraid it's a nuisance to you. We've specially vacated the old house for you to live in. You can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want. It's so convenient."

He thought that he could get a smile from Jiang Yin by saying this, but Jiang Yin raised her eyelids and said, "Third Uncle, you are joking. In this Jiang family, everything is mine. No matter where I live, I will never lack food or clothing."

He said it in such a high-sounding way, but what he meant was that she was not welcome here and should go back to the old house as soon as possible.

But she just refused to go back and insisted on staying here to see what else they could do.

Wan Sheng's face froze, then he immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "Ayin is right, of course it's all yours.

Would you mind having a meal with us? We have recently discovered some new wild vegetables that taste pretty good. Your mother and I both like them very much."

He signaled with his eyes that Jiang Sanniang, who was sitting, should come up and persuade him.

Jiang Sanniang, who received the eye signal, was not very happy. In the end, she compromised and walked towards Jiang Yin, saying in a gentle voice: "Your third uncle is right. Ah Yin, how about having dinner together?"

"That's not necessary." Jiang Yin sat down on a stone bench in the yard and said quietly, "But I'd like to trouble Third Mother and Third Uncle to explain why there is no meat in everyone's meals."

She had a deep look on her face, as if if the reason was not sufficient, then she would kill her own relatives for the sake of justice.

But Jiang Yin hadn't expected another reason.

Jiang Xiaoya ran up to her and explained with a raised face: "Sister Yin, we are not saving money, but observing mourning. Dad and Mom said that the head of the family has passed away. We have to observe mourning for at least a month and cannot eat meat."

He pulled at the corner of Jiang Yin's clothes, hoping that Jiang Yin would not be angry.

Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly. Observing mourning?

She was a legitimate daughter, but she didn't observe mourning like this.

She turned her head to look at Sanniang and her husband, and said in silence: "Is what Xiaoya said right?"

Jiang Sanniang sighed and said, "It's true. I didn't want you to know it, so as to avoid remembering the sad things. But after going around in circles, I finally found out."

Jiang Yin opened his mouth and said dumbly: "You don't have to do this. If my parents were still alive, they would definitely not want you to do this."

Ashes return to ashes, and the living must continue to live.

She stood up and walked into the house, saying, "Eat slowly. After you finish eating, come and tell me about the situation on the tea mountain."

Although she didn't know whether these people did it on purpose for her to see or whether they had done it in the past, she accepted the friendship.

However, she had just taken two steps when she turned back and said to Jiang Sanniang who was still standing in front of her, "Sanniang, where are the great grandfather and the third grandfather? They are not at home?"

Zhang Yuanzhi had come to see her great grandfather and third grandfather before, and now she wanted to ask them what Zhang Yuanzhi had said to them.

However, she had not seen either of them since she entered the door.

Hearing her question, Jiang Sanniang looked a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Jiang Yin frowned slightly and said, "Sanniang, just tell me what's going on. If you have any questions, you can solve them by speaking them out."

Now, no matter how big the problem is, it is not as serious as the withering of tea trees in the tea mountains.

However, Jiang Sanniang shook her head and said, "My father and uncle have gone to the city and haven't come back yet. Didn't A Yin meet them when he came?"

"Go to the capital?" Jiang Yin frowned and asked, "Why are they going to the capital? I sent a message before I came here, they should know that no one can find them in the capital.

Besides, there is still no clue about the disappearance of Cao, the manager of Yazhou Teahouse. Why did they go to the capital instead of staying in Yazhou?"

Now is a time of trouble, she was being hunted all the way here. The guards around the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather are not as many as hers, if they encounter an assassin, it is still a question whether they can escape.

When she heard that she might be assassinated, Sanniang became a little panicked.

She held Jiang Yin's hand and said, "What should I do, Ah Yin, what about my father and the others?"

"What should I do?" Jiang Yin laughed angrily, "Why did Grandpa and Third Grandpa go to the capital city? Only when I know the specific reason can I prescribe the right remedy and send people to protect them."

If you don't know anything, it's useless to talk.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this matter was not simple. It was not simple for Sanniang to hide it from her, and even the reason behind her vegetarian diet could not stand up to scrutiny.

Jiang Yin lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. She wanted to see what these people wanted to do.

She will never sit and wait for death.
