In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 19 Pei Yuqi, the eldest son of the Pei family

The shopkeeper of Pei's Tea Merchants watched the two's actions quietly. He was not angry because Yang Qianxun poured tea for Su Yueyao first. He just felt a little sad about the way they got along.

The woman was quiet and elegant, with a delicate mind, and she did not show any arrogance to others. The man did not treat his wife in a servile and fawning manner. They got along very peacefully. He had not seen such a couple for a long time.

But when he took the teacup and took a sip of tea, his eyes lit up. It was fragrant and mellow, with a hint of sweetness in his mouth. There was no strong bitter taste. I'm afraid women would like this tea more.

He hadn't expected the tea to be so good. In fact, he had already thought of an excuse to refuse.

"How much of this tea do you have, Madam? Pei's tea merchant can buy it."

"I have five and a half pounds! I wonder what price the shopkeeper wants to offer?"

"Well! I'm not sure now, because I think women would like this tea more, so I still need to think about the price. Could you wait a moment, my lady, and I'll confirm the price first." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"of course can."

After the shopkeeper left, Su Yueyao stood up, stretched her arms, and said to Yang Qianxun with a smile: "Qianqian, your tea-making skills are much better than mine! It tastes better than the last time I made it."

"As a woman, Yueyao doesn't need to do it herself. There are many techniques involved in making tea. In the future, if Yueyao wants to drink tea, I will make tea for you. It seems that Yueyao doesn't like bitter tea." Yang Qianxun said with a smile.

"Yes! I prefer tea with a hint of sweetness. If I have the chance in the future, I will make you some scented tea. Maybe Qianqian will like it too."

"But Qianqian's tea-making skills make the tea taste better. With you by my side, I'm afraid I won't make tea by myself anymore. I feel like I'm almost a useless person! But I like this feeling very much."

"Yueyao is not a useless person. You are probably just a cute millet bug at home. I will support you, so you can just accept this feeling." Yang Qianxun joked with a smile.

"The word 'rice worm' is quite appropriate. Having enough food and drink without worrying about money is actually a good life!"

"Yueyao's requirements can actually be higher!"

"I just pursue low goals, and this is called contentment!" Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"What Yueyao said is very right, but there are too many people in this world who want power. If everyone could think like Yueyao, there would be fewer disputes! From now on, everyone in the family will listen to Yueyao!" Yang Qianxun said in a doting tone.

"I feel embarrassed when Qianqian says this to me." Su Yueyao said embarrassedly.

She is actually too lazy. At present, it is too difficult to make great progress in ancient times, and she needs to proceed step by step.

It is undeniable that she wanted to give up after seeing how good Yang Qianxun was to her. It seems that she is also a little bit in love...

"Yueyao, how much do you think Pei will pay to buy your tea?" Yang Qian asked.

"I don't know. I don't know the price of tea leaves. If you have more experience, how much do you think it can be sold for?"

"If this tea is sold in Fengdu, the price will probably be higher, but it should be cheaper here. Around eight or nine hundred coins per pound is a good price here." Yang Qian thought for a moment and said.

Su Yueyao thought about it and thought that eight or nine hundred coins was equivalent to eight or nine hundred yuan per catty now. This price was not bad! After all, this tea was not a precious one.

"It depends on the situation! Does Qianqian like to drink it? If he likes it, we won't sell it." Su Yueyao thought for a while and said.

It seems that if I sell these five and a half kilograms of tea, I will probably get only four taels of silver. I didn't specially select the tea I picked myself, and the production was rather rough, so this price is already good.

Four taels of silver could support the common people in the villages below for a year, but for the merchants in the county town, it was just a little pocket money.

Oh! It was so hard to make a lot of money in ancient times! In modern time-travel novels, the heroine has medical skills, knows how to cook, and has space supplies, but she has nothing...

Let's talk about food! Most of the food here is stewed or boiled. The advantage is that the food is fresh and tastes good. She only knows some home cooking. The key is that she has no seasoning!

The spices here, such as pepper, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, star anise, and cassia bark, are all medicinal herbs! The key is that they are very expensive! It seems that there is no chili here, and I don’t know if there is cumin.

So I'm afraid I won't be able to eat hot pot or barbecue in the short term...

There seems to be very little stir-frying here, probably because there is no oil. Rich families use lard made from pork fat, and fat is more expensive than lean meat here!

Just as Yang Qianxun was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Yang Qianxun said directly.

Su Yueyao came to her senses and looked up, only to see a wealthy young man in dark blue brocade clothes. He had fair skin, handsome features, and elegant manners. His eyes sparkled with the intelligence of someone who had seen a lot of things and the calmness of someone who remained calm in the face of emergencies.

His facial features are very outstanding, comparable to those of Yang Qianxun, or even better than Yang Qianxun.

Yang Qianxun looked at the person who came, stood up and walked to Su Yueyao, and said to the rich young man: "I didn't expect to see Mr. Pei here."

Pei Yuqi said calmly, "I didn't expect that Mr. Qianxun, who is on the list of Fengdu talents, would come to Yi County and get married directly. I'm afraid the ladies of Fengdu will cry."

"Mr. Pei, I have signed a marriage certificate with Miss Su. Miss Su will be my future wife. I hope you won't talk about Fengdu's affairs anymore." Yang Qianxun said.

"Really? If the daughter of the Zheng family knew that you were married, she wouldn't give up!" Pei Yuqi said with a sigh.

"This is my business. Yuqi doesn't have to worry about it." Yang Qianxun said helplessly.

When Pei Yuqi heard Yang Qianxun calling his name, he knew that he was still willing to interact with him, so he said to Su Yueyao: "I am Pei Yuqi, the eldest son of the Pei Tea Merchants. I wonder if Miss Su knows about Qianxun's past?"

"Yuqi..."

"Of course I know. I knew all about it when I married Qianqian. I don't care about Qianqian's past. The past is the past. I will treat Qianqian well in the future." Su Yueyao said directly.

"It really proves the saying that rumors can't be trusted." Pei Yuqi said with a smile after hearing Su Yueyao's words.

"Maybe the previous rumors were true, but now I have changed and I am no longer like the person in the rumors!" Su Yueyao explained helplessly and sat down again.

She didn't expect that Yang Qianxun would know someone from the Pei family. The key point was that they seemed to be very familiar with each other. This tea might be difficult to sell.

"Why did Yuqi come to Yi County?" Yang Qianxun motioned Pei Yuqi to sit down, and he sat next to Su Yueyao and asked.

"When the Xie family broke off your engagement, I was out of town and didn't come back. When I came back, I heard that your sister brought you to Yi County. But rumors were spreading in Fengdu, and almost everyone thought that you would marry Lady Zheng when you came back!"

"Now Fengdu says you have everything, which is very unpleasant, so I came to inspect the accounts of Yangcheng Prefecture, and by the way, I want to visit Yi County, and I also want you to return to Fengdu later."

"But when I arrived at Yi County last night, I heard from the shopkeeper that you were going to marry this scoundrel in Yi County..."

"Cough cough cough..." Yang Qianxun interrupted Pei Yuqi's next words by coughing when he heard this.

Su Yueyao listened quietly, and frowned when she heard this. See! She knew that her reputation was still very bad.

"Just listen to what Mr. Pei says. I used to be considered a rogue in Yi County!" Su Yueyao patted Yang Qianxun's back gently and poured him a cup of tea.

"Yueyao is not a rogue, you are very good!" Yang Qianxun said with a slightly red face.

Pei Yuqi was a little surprised when he saw how the two of them were getting along. Is this Su Nujun so good-tempered? The key point is that she just poured water for Qianxun and handed it to him, and she was not angry about what he said to her just now.

He seemed to understand a little bit why Yang Qianxun wanted to marry her.

The women in Fengdu have been spoiled to the point of being lawless. They order people to do this and that all day long, and the men have to do their bidding. Now that the status of men is getting lower and lower, the women are becoming more and more powerful, and they have to endure it!

"Yuqi, I know you care about me, but I will only live in Yi County from now on, so it will be difficult for the people of Fengdu to come to me for a while. Besides, as long as Yueyao protects me, even if the people of Fengdu come, they will not dare to take action easily."

Although women from aristocratic families were very precious, the imperial court also protected women from other common people's families. If a woman from an aristocratic family or an official bullied a commoner woman, she would be punished or even worse, her family would be implicated.
