A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

Tian Changqing was taken aback. "Who?"

What Manager Tian?

"It's that Miss Tian Er who came to pay her tuition last time." The instructor hadn't yet realized that Tian Changqing's reaction was inappropriate.

"She is the head manager of Baishi Teahouse."

Tian Changqing was stunned, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Your Excellency, are you joking?"

"they..."

"We just came back from Baishi Teahouse. That second young lady waived our bill," the instructor chuckled. "She shares your surname and is from the same village, so she must be a girl from your clan, right?"

Tian Changqing exclaimed "Ah!" before nodding, "Yes, she's my second uncle's granddaughter..."

However, he has already severed all ties with his second uncle's family...

Tian Changqing was too embarrassed to say those words aloud.

"With the support of the county magistrate, this Baishi Teahouse will surely grow bigger and bigger in the future. This family... their wealth is immeasurable."

"And then there's Tian Jinghe. Lord Li said in his letter that although this child is a bit timid, he has the magnanimity of his second sister. As long as he studies hard, he will probably... make a name for himself in the future."

"Your Tian family is blessed."

Are we blessed?

Tian Changqing lowered his head in thought.

Ms. Lu has already registered her own household, and all her children are registered under her name...

Strictly speaking, the Lu family has no relation to the Tian family anymore.

Thinking of this, Tian Changqing sighed deeply.

"Why are you sighing?" the instructor asked, puzzled.

Tian Changqing gave an awkward laugh, "It's nothing..."

The instructor couldn't help but share with Tian Changqing, "Every dish at her Baishi Teahouse is novel and delicious."

"The tea is also of the highest quality."

"There were also some desserts and drinks, which tasted pretty good..."

"Those shrimp dumplings..."

The instructor assumed that Tian Changqing and Tian Tian were from the same clan and must have eaten together.

Tian Changqing had only heard the names of these dishes; he had never even smelled them, let alone tasted them.

The next day at noon, Tian Changqing arrived at the entrance of Baishi Teahouse and peered inside.

After listening to the Instructor's words yesterday, he thought about it for a long time and decided to come and see for himself.

Xiao Si saw him and came out to greet him, "Guest, how many are in your party?"

Tian Changqing shook his head. "No, I'm just taking a look."

Xiao Si didn't find it strange, nodded, and then went to greet the other guests.

Tian Changqing looked around for a while before he finally spotted Tian Tian.

As she walked through the lobby, the surrounding guests greeted her.

Then she walked up to the shopkeeper and said something to him. The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, his attitude very respectful.

Just then, a carriage arrived at the door, and a man who looked like a shopkeeper stepped out of it.

Tian Tian greeted them at the door and led them upstairs with a smile.

The shopkeeper bowed to Tian Tian with his hands clasped, appearing very familiar with her.

Tian Changqing was shocked. Tian Tian was indeed the head manager of Baishi Teahouse!

OMG!

Baishi Teahouse is now the most popular place in Baishi County.

I heard that many people come from other places every day to taste it.

When he first heard about Baishi Teahouse, he thought to himself that he probably wouldn't be able to bring himself to eat there in his entire life.

Unexpectedly, the owner of Baishi Teahouse was actually his... niece?

Tian Changqing sighed and turned to leave.

When Tian Changqing returned to Qingliu Village and saw Tian Bonian, he thought of what Tian Bonian had done.

"father."

“You’re back.” Tian Bonian pointed to the east window. “There’s a draft coming through the window. Take a look and see what’s wrong.”

Tian Changqing said, "It's a little loose, just tighten it up."

He took out his tools and began to repair it.

"Father," Tian Changqing glanced at Tian Bonian, "After Tian Tian came to you last time... has she come to see you again?"

Tian Bonian shook his head. "No."

"What? They came looking for you?"

"Changqing, I know you don't want your father to get involved in Second Master's family affairs."

“But Jinghe is your second grandfather’s only grandson, so I have to consider his needs.”

"If Tian Tian comes to you, you are not allowed to respond to her."

Tian Changqing knocked on the window a few times. "She didn't look for me. Jinghe has already paid her tuition at the county school."

"I can enroll next year."

"What?!" Tian Bonian exclaimed in surprise as he approached Tian Changqing. "The Instructor has agreed?"

"How could your instructors agree to this?"

"I'll go find him."

"Father," Tian Changqing pulled Tian Bonian back, looking frustrated, "Going to the instructor is useless. Tian Tian has a letter of recommendation, and..."

"Where did she get that letter of recommendation?!"

Before Tian Changqing could finish speaking, Tian Bonian interrupted, "Who would write her a letter of recommendation?"

"Did your instructor make a mistake?"

"No, I still need to go see your instructor."

Ye Rong, the current instructor, is considered Tian Bonian's student, which is why he dares to say such a thing.

"Father," Tian Changqing said helplessly, "it's a letter of recommendation for Tian Tian written by the county magistrate!"

Tian Bonian frowned immediately. "What?"

He couldn't believe it. "The county magistrate wrote a letter of recommendation for Tian Tian?"

"how could it be possible?"

"Is it wrong?"

"I'm going to find Ye Rong, just in case I've been deceived."

"That girl Tian Tian is incredibly bold; she's capable of doing something like this, even deceiving people."

As Tian Bonian spoke, he turned to walk back, saying, "I'll change my clothes and go right away."

"Father!" Tian Changqing caught up and grabbed him. "It was written by the county magistrate and stamped with his official seal."

"The His Excellency cannot be mistaken."

"Moreover, Tian Tian and her family are not the same as before."

"They opened a big teahouse in the county, and many shopkeepers and wealthy people came from other places because of its reputation."

"The county magistrate relies on her teahouse to achieve his political goals."

Tian Bonian was, after all, a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations. Although Tian Changqing's words were not clear, Tian Bonian understood them.

The county magistrate achieved his political achievements by relying on her teahouse, meaning that the teahouse paid a lot of taxes.

"Father, don't get involved in Second Master's affairs. He doesn't even care about Jinghe himself, so why are you worrying about him?"

Tian Bonian fell silent...

If what Tian Changqing said is true, then he really shouldn't get involved in Tian Jinghe's affairs anymore.

"Okay, Dad understands."

Tian Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was being petty, but his father's previous demands were indeed unpleasant, and given Tian Tian's temperament, it was inevitable that she would hold a grudge.

Tian Tian's family now owns such a large Baishi Teahouse and has also established a relationship with the county magistrate.

That is... having great wealth and power!

It's best to be cautious.

"You came back just for this?" Tian Bonian asked.

Tian Changqing admitted, "Dad, if Tian Tian ever asks you for anything again, as long as it's harmless, please don't make things difficult for her and her widow."

"understood."

After tidying up his house, Tian Changqing hurriedly returned to the county.

Tian Bonian watched him leave, then turned and went to Tian Zhongqing's house.
