Fuping County is divided into two cities, east and west, a bluestone road crosses it, the county government is built in the middle, and the large families live around the county government.

The county seat is not big, what happened somewhere in the city, only one morning can spread throughout the county, when Cao Weixing just arrived in Fuping County for only two or three hours, the whole county knows that there is a rich uncle who led his family to the county to play, as for why he came to this small county town that does not pass on the name, it is naturally for the tea fight.

The people in the city are a little excited, the uncle is a rare species, and it is rare to see it in a small place, but now he has condescended to come to this county, and the people of Fuping are honored.

"Tea Fight?" In a mansion near the county government, Cao Wei picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly.

He also knows a little about the tea ring, after all, he has not worked in vain for more than 30 years in his last life, and he has encountered several tea fights in the process of traveling around the country, and the locals will also invite passers-by to drink tea.

He doesn't know much about tea, but he also knows that tea fights are generally held around the Qingming Festival, when new tea has just been picked, and tea merchants take the opportunity to nominate tea leaves.

"The subordinates don't know very well, the brothers who went out to inquire about the news came back and said that this tea festival will be held in eight or nine days, and most of the convoys we met when we entered the city were tea merchants who came from other places, and there were also rich and noble families who came to see the excitement."

"The tea ring is still very famous in Weinan Prefecture, and it is generally held in the county, and the county order invites several elders to do the evaluation. The tea ring began only to evaluate the tea, but then it became more and more lively, like a temple fair, this year's tea ring was held in Fuping County, and the owner of the tea was probably indisputable, it should be the Feng family. ”

Qian Ning smiled: "Madame is really well-informed, the people outside are talking like this, and they haven't asked Madame where she is?" ”

"My ancestral home is in Yuyao, Zhejiang, my father settled here after he became an official here when he was young, and I was also born here, and this is still my hometown."

Qian Ning arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Madame on returning to her hometown, I think Ling Zun is extremely happy to know that Madame is back." ”

Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Qian Ning, you said that the official's father-in-law knew that I married his daughter and hadn't told him yet, would he be overjoyed, or would it be more likely to dismantle me?" ”

"Of course it's a big ......deal" Qian Ning suddenly woke up, stared at Cao Wei and sweet potatoes sitting above the hall, as if he had seen a ghost, no wonder this Shangguan was a little cowering when he came to Fuping County, and he didn't even dare to reveal the identity of Jinyiwei, and he arched the best cabbage for no reason, and no one was happy!

Cao Wei looked at Qian Ning hopefully, and said: "As the so-called raising pigs for a thousand days, eating pigs for a while, Lord Ben usually treats you well, and it should be you who share my worries." ”

The corners of Qian Ning's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to go up and give this Shangguan two slaps, so that he knew that he would be beaten if he used words indiscriminately, even if he was a pig, he had a temper.

His eyelids trembled, and he didn't have the courage in the end, this Shangguan was good, but his mouth was a little damaged. Qian Ning pondered for a moment, and said: "Adults can bear the guilt of Jing pleading, so that at most they will be smoked, raw rice will be cooked and matured, maybe the other party will pinch his nose and admit it, not to mention that adults are young and promising, but they are a good aunt who is the first class in the world." ”

Cao Wei thought about it carefully, and felt that it was more likely that he would be sucked to death, and sighed and said, "Forget it, it's better for Lord Ben to personally use some means...... By the way, how much money did this mansion cost? ”

"My lord, the owner of this house is surnamed Qiao, he is a wealthy local businessman, this is a courtyard of his family, knowing that his uncle is coming, he specially contributed to let the adults have a place to stay, and also let his family be blessed. His subordinates excused themselves in every way, and even put a knife on his neck, but he had already made up his mind to honor the adult! ”

Cao Wei opened his eyes and smiled: "Our Jinyi Wei can't take the people's things for nothing, and send fifty taels of silver back." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Sweet potato frowned and said, "Xianggong, this Uncle Qiao is my father's best friend, I'm afraid it's not easy to do this......"

Cao Wei thought about it, fifty taels was indeed a little less, especially since the other party was still an acquaintance, so it was a little unauthentic, and he was about to speak, when he heard the sweet potato say: "...... Since they are acquaintances, it is too obvious to give silver! ”

Cao Wei sighed in his heart, and became more and more satisfied with this thrifty wife, and said: "Sure enough, the husband and wife are of the same heart, and their strength saves money, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." ”

…………………………………………………………

In the study of the Fuping County Ya, a middle-aged man with a long beard is practicing calligraphy, and his eyebrows and eyes are six or seven points similar to those of sweet potatoes, which is Xie Ping, the father of sweet potatoes.

At this time, there were dozens of pieces of rice paper on the table, and the word "Wan" was written on them. A woman in gorgeous clothes next to him helped him grind, looking at Xie Ping while grinding, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, say it!"

"Master, there is an uncle in our county suddenly, and I don't know what the purpose of this uncle is, it won't really be like what is said outside, just to observe the tea beating, right?"

Xie Ping said while writing: "No matter what his intentions are, no matter how big the uncle is, he can't control the old man's head, just do his own thing well, and don't mix with those businessmen outside." ”

The woman said angrily: "If you don't contact those merchants, what will dozens of people up and down our Xie Mansion eat, can you feed our mother and mother with your monthly money?" Uncle is a scholar in Beijing, if you are willing to write a letter to the past, you will not be nested in a small county town for so many years, and we Yufei can also have a good future.

Now Yu Fei has fallen in love with a rich lady in Fucheng, if she doesn't have some silver taels, I'm afraid she won't even be able to get the bride price money, you say that the concubine is not responsible, Wan'er lost the face of your Xie family when she ran away from marriage......

"Smack!" Xie Ping put the pen on the table, his face was pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Your nephew Feng Huai often lives in Qinglou Flower Lane and has a bad character, why didn't you tell the old man?" If the old man hadn't sent someone to investigate afterwards, I'm afraid that you would have been kept in the dark and ruined Wan'er for life! ”

"Huai'er is young, and there is indeed something absurd about his behavior, and he will calm down when he gets married and starts a business......"

"You still dare to quibble, Wan'er had two taels of silver per month, but in fact she gave less than half, do you think the old man doesn't know? The old man just wants to give you some affection, so he has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, now I think about it, the old man is wrong, the old man is not a good father, sorry for her mother who died early, you are a big lady who favors one over the other, and you are not afraid of being poked in the back? ”

The woman's face was red when she heard this, her chest rose and fell, and she said sharply: "I have worked hard for this family for so many years, but now I have become a bitter woman, it is better to die, so as to save you from seeing and worrying."

My mother's family intends to tea this year, and my mother's money is used for food and clothing every day, if you still have some conscience, do your best! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left, Xie Ping picked up the pen but couldn't write, a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, Xie Ping put down the pen and sat down in the chair, physically and mentally exhausted.
