Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

As soon as Fang Xianshan finished speaking, Fang Wenyuan immediately said, "I don't regret it."

He looked at Fang Xianshan seriously, and then at Jiang Yin, wanting to use his firm eyes and words to prove that he really did not regret it.

Fang Xianshan stared at him for a long time before he sighed and said, "Well, since you don't regret it, go ahead. I agree."

When he was halfway through his speech, Aunt Jiang was pulling at his sleeve, but he just patted his wife's hand to show her to stay calm.

Aunt Jiang was furious. She pinched him and whispered, "What did you promise? The imperial examination is a big deal!"

She was really angry. It was not easy for a scholar to appear in the family. It would have been fine if she didn't help persuade him, but she even supported and agreed.

Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans have been the class system. If Jiang's family produces an official, his status will naturally be different. If others want to find fault with him in the future, they will have to think twice.

Jiang Si Niang quickly came to Fang Xianshan's rescue: "Sister, don't blame your brother-in-law. This is our own decision."

It's not good for them to let others pay for their own decisions.

Aunt Jiang's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything else.

Jiang Si Niang tilted her head to look at Jiang Guangwu and said pitifully, "Dad?"

At this moment, she regretted very much why she found a nerd. If she had found an ordinary person, she would not have such troubles. She secretly glared at Fang Wenyuan.

Fang Wenyuan raised his hand, touched his nose, and gave her a flattering smile.

Jiang Guangwu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then sighed, "Forget it, do whatever you want."

After he said that, he seemed to be relieved and looked much more depressed.

Seeing this, Jiang Yin frowned slightly and said, "If Fourth Lady and Fourth Uncle want to go, they should wait until after the Autumn Examination."

She didn't want the eldest family, including her great-grandfather, to have any grudges against her because of this matter.

If she really sent someone there now, then even if Grandpa didn't say anything, he would remember it in his heart.

"Why can't we do it now?" Jiang Si Niang said anxiously, "Ayin, I want to go. Let Wenyuan stay at home and come find me after the autumn examination."

She quickly winked at her father and elder sister, signaling them to help say a word.

As they are all businessmen, Jiang Guangwu and Jiang Daniang naturally know what Jiang Si Niang is thinking.

However, their current thoughts are all to focus on the autumn examination.

So, both of them turned their heads away to avoid Jiang Si Niang's gaze and didn't want to say anything more.

As for Jiang Erniang and Xie Daoyun, they kept aloof from the matter and would not easily interfere in other people's family affairs.

Mrs. Feng was also drinking tea silently without saying a word.

She was old and just wanted to stay in Shu. It was better to leave the expansion of territory to the young.

As for how young people convince their family members, it is their own business.

When Fang Wenyuan heard that Jiang Si Niang would not be taken to Huangshan, he looked at her sadly and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Xianshan.

Afterwards, Fang Xianshan could not help but help and said, "Ayin, let's do as Fourth Sister said. Let her go first, and Wenyuan can go after he passes the Autumn Examination."

Not surprisingly, his wife rolled her eyes at his words.

But he did not back down. He just looked at Jiang Yin, hoping that Jiang Yin would agree.

Jiang Yin hesitated for a moment, then looked at his great grandfather Jiang Guangwu and great aunt Jiang and said, "Great grandfather, great aunt, what do you think? Fourth aunt will take the people there first, and fourth uncle will go after the autumn examination?"

If she had to let them go, this was the best she could do.

She couldn't leave any handle or hidden danger in this matter.

"Okay." Jiang Guangwu paused, then nodded and continued to Jiang Si Niang, "You can go, but bring more people with you. Your own safety is the most important thing."

Although he was also worried about Jiang Si Niang's safety, wealth and fame are achieved through risk, and he couldn't just sit and wait for pie to fall from the sky.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mrs. Feng with mixed feelings, and secretly decided to let Si Niang bring more people.

Jiang Yin nodded, then turned his head to look at Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I agree."

It's not that I don't care about my sister, but the Autumn Examination is indeed important. But a few months of separation is not a big deal.

As for the rest, she would talk to Si Niang about it later.

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Big Sister." Jiang Si Niang's eyes sparkled, and then she turned her head to look at Jiang Yin, "A Yin..."

A Yin already has the demeanor of a family head, and if she is not allowed to go, there is really nothing she can do.

But for long-term planning, she must go on this trip.

Jiang Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to make the trip. I will send two secret guards to protect you in secret, and bring some guards in public as well. In addition, you can choose a few people from the tribe to take away."

As for who to choose, it depends on Si Niang herself. After all, it was Si Niang who led the way to Huangshan, so she had to choose someone she trusted.

Jiang Si Niang was very happy to get everyone's permission. She clenched her fist and promised, "Don't worry, Yin, I will live up to your expectations and get this done."

She was very excited to think that she would have the opportunity to do something big like Ayin's mother, and was also thinking about who to take with her.

After deciding on the candidates to go to Huangshan, Jiang Yin kept Jiang Si Niang and Fang Wenyuan alone and talked for a long time.

Not only did it calm the two people's emotions, but it also talked about the things that needed attention in the past, as well as what to do and how to do it.

It would be fine for Si Niang to go over. If she doesn't have time to wait for Jiang Yin to go over and fry the tea, she can wait until she buys the new tea leaves and then fry the tea herself.

Si Niang's tea-frying skills are also very advanced. She used to participate in the production of Mengshan tea. Therefore, she was relieved to leave this matter to Si Niang.

As for opening up new tea mountains and tea gardens, we have to wait until she comes over before making a decision.

If Huangshan is not suitable for developing Jiang's industry, she would not blindly establish an industry there.

At worst, we can buy new tea from the tea farmers in Huangshan every year.

Of course, if there are any other special circumstances during this period, Jiang Si Niang can handle them at her own discretion.

In addition, Jiang Yin also allocated one hundred taels of silver for Si Niang to take away.

Silver is more convenient than copper coins. Once we arrive at Huangshan and find a place to stay, we can exchange it for copper coins for easy use.

In about a month at most, she will set off for Huangshan, and she will bring some silver with her.

The trip to Huangshan was arranged properly, and Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been thinking about this matter for a long time and finally put it on the agenda. She hoped that Jiang Si Niang's trip would go smoothly.

Mrs. Feng, who saw Jiang Yin handle these things with her own eyes, was also very impressed. She said with relief: "A Yin has really grown up and is now a capable head of the family."

Thinking of Jiang Yin's mother's instructions, tears flashed in her eyes. In this way, she felt relieved, and finally she did not let Jiang Yin's mother down.
