Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Shen Fugui stood there in disbelief. It seemed that he really didn't believe that Qi Haisheng died like this.

He is the tree doctor revered by their three major families!

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why would I lie to you? You'll know whether it's true or not when you go back."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she advised: "Seeking the skin of a tiger will not end well, you should make plans early."

Merchants like them who have no power, no influence and no backing are nothing but victims in the face of imperial power and interests.

Moreover, the government had long planned to bring Mengshan back to the imperial court. Any mistake made at this time would be magnified infinitely.

Considering that Shen Fugui had never directly harmed her in his life, she could barely give him a few words of warning.

But no matter how many more, it is not enough. After all, the two families have long been incompatible and will not stop until death.

After she finished speaking, she jumped off the carriage from the other side and walked towards the mansion without looking back, leaving Shen Fugui standing there without coming to his senses.

After a long time, Shen Fugui came back to his senses with a start.

He quickly waved at Jiang Yin's back and thanked her, "Ms. Jiang, thank you very much."

After that, he quickly picked up his robe and ran home, not even caring about the flower he had just pinned on his hair falling to the ground.

The corners of Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt speechless towards this stupid person.

Xiao Luo scratched her head, pointed at her head, and asked in confusion: "Madam, is there something wrong with his brain?"

A normal person would know that the two families have a feud and would just not cause trouble, so why would they get involved?

"Who cares what he does." Jiang Yin said unhappily, "In a few days, the tea in the Royal Tea Garden will start to be picked. Starting tomorrow, we have to pick some tea every day. I will practice first."

It had been a long time since she had stir-fried tea, so she didn't dare to stir-fry the Zhenggong tea directly. If something went wrong, she couldn't bear the responsibility.

The tea produced by the seven tea trees in the Imperial Tea Garden was the official tribute tea, used for official sacrifices. The production was limited and no mistakes could be made.

The tea produced by the tea trees around the Imperial Tea Garden is tribute tea, which is exclusively used by the royal family. This is the tea that enters the government, and nothing can go wrong.

Both of them are tribute teas. It is an honor and a reliance for the Jiang family to help with the frying.

The Jiang family was able to remain standing not only because they occupied the two tea mountains on Mount Mengshan, but also because of the imperial tea garden and the surrounding tribute tea.

Because of this, those people from Tokyo did not dare to deal with Jiang openly, but only dared to act stealthily, launching sneak attacks and assassinations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin turned around and went directly to Jiang Er Niang's yard.

Jiang Xiaoya was sent to the clan school. At this time, only Jiang Erniang and Xie Daoyun were left in the yard.

I saw Xie Daoyun wearing a red robe, lying on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely, playing with Jiang Erniang's hair in his hands.

Jiang Erniang, wearing green clothes and with her hair tied up, sat quietly beside him, concentrating on doing needlework.

From a distance, they looked like such a perfect couple that Jiang Yin breathed lighter and felt embarrassed to disturb them.

Xie Daoyun: Haha, then you leave?

Jiang Yin: No! (*｀?3?)??

Noticing that Jiang Yin had been standing at the door for a long time, Xie Daoyun paused his hand that was playing with Jiang Erniang's black hair.

Then, he kindly raised his hand and waved towards Jiang Yin, but his intention was to send her away.

The corners of Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly. Under Xie Daoyun's vigilant eyes, he grinned, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Hey, Ah Yin is here." Jiang Erniang, who didn't know about the quarrel between them, quickly stood up and walked forward and said enthusiastically, "Come in quickly, what are you standing there for?"

Noticing the black hair in his hand slipping away, Xie Daoyun looked resentful and hated everything and everyone that disturbed their private time together.

Jiang Yin tried to hold back her laughter but ignored him.

Instead, he came forward with a smile, took Jiang Erniang's hand, and said warmly, "What are you doing, Erniang? I've been here for a long time, but you didn't notice me."

She couldn't help but glance at the stone table and was somewhat interested in the work in Er Niang's hands.

Jiang Erniang said with a smile, "Xiaoya is going to the clan school, and that naughty boy is asking me to make a school bag for him."

In the past, Xie Daoyun looked down on the teachers hired by the clan, so he kept Jiang Xiaoya at home and taught her by himself instead of sending her to school.

Now that his enlightenment was almost complete, he was sent to study at the clan school.

"That's great." Jiang Yin said with a smile, "But, have you ever thought about letting Xiaoya go to school in Yazhou City or Fucheng?"

Most of the clan members like Jiang Lian would go to the academies in Yazhou City or the provincial capital, and clan studies were just a transitional enlightenment.

Although Xie Daoyun is more than capable of teaching Jiang Xiaoya, Meng's mother moved three times, and the environment is also extremely important.

Furthermore, people like Er Niang are core members of the clan and are not limited to looking after the tea trees in Mengshan.

If they wanted, they could just look for a job in Yazhou or the provincial capital, just like Aunt Feng did.

"No hurry, let's wait until he grows up." Jiang Erniang shook her head and smiled, "We just hope that Xiaoya can grow up safely, and we don't ask for anything else."

She and Xie Daoyun didn't care about being an official in the court. As long as the child liked it, they could stay in the mountains for the rest of their lives.

Seeing this, Jiang Yin didn't say anything more. With Xie Daoyun around, Xiaoya's future would not be bad.

Jiang Erniang poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yin, and then asked, "Ah Yin, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Jiang Yin was busy these days, so he had no time to wander around. So, he would not visit the temple unless he had something to do.

Jiang Yin didn't hesitate to say anything, "I'm going to make tribute tea in a few days, but Second Mother knows that I've never done this before, and I'm worried that something unexpected might happen."

She pursed her lips and continued, "I will try using our Mengshan tea tomorrow, but just in case, I would like to ask Second Mother to come with me.

If my cooking skills are not good enough, I hope Second Lady can help me with Gongcha."

Aunt Feng is impossible, Jiang Sanniang is still under house arrest, Jiang Siniang has gone to Huangshan, and the two of them are even more impossible. The only ones left are Jiang Da Niang and Jiang Er Niang.

Of the two of them, Jiang Erniang was better at making tea. That was why Jiang Yin wanted to find Jiang Erniang as a substitute. If she was not good enough, he would send Jiang Erniang.

In short, various situations must be taken into consideration to ensure that there are no mistakes in the frying of the tribute tea.

However, before Jiang Erniang could speak, Xie Daoyun sat up and frowned, saying, "That won't work. You should do it yourself or find someone else."

He looked at Jiang Yin warily and knew that this girl was up to no good.

He didn't want his wife's skills to be seen by the officials and be restricted there.

Jiang Yin smiled awkwardly and said with a lack of confidence: "Why would Second Uncle say no?"

She wanted to put the overall situation first, but she couldn't say it.

After all, if this person could put the overall situation first, he would not have run away from home for so many years and married into the Jiang family.

She couldn't imagine what the people of the Xie family in Tokyo would think when they knew he had married into their family.
