After receiving the gift, Mrs. Xia said some words that exaggerated the sales of the future, what a young talent, what is very similar to Wen Qing's heart back then, and he was a little embarrassed to go back and forth to make the sales far away, so he had to be modest for a few words.

I don't know who mentioned that the Ma family's house has not been renovated for a long time, and the sales distance came to be interested, and said loudly, "It's raining today, I see that there are more than a dozen places on the corridor that are leaking, I don't know if there are other rooms leaking, it should have been repaired last year, but my father has not started construction..." Pinyuan wanted to say more, but was blinded by his father, so he immediately shut up.

The old lady on the side seemed to be waiting for such an opportunity, and immediately said, "Good boy, it's hard for you to always think so much about your family, your father doesn't want to, but can't, this is also why I'm sorry for your Ma family, I didn't know your situation earlier, and a good tea household was forced to be like this." Now when I step into my homeland, I really know that you have suffered a lot, and this is my negligence. After saying that, he began to wipe his tears again, and Ma Bin on the side was a little unbearable, and hurriedly replied, "It's not Uncle Xia's fault, don't blame yourself." ”

After waiting for the old lady to control his emotions a little, he continued, "I should have come last summer, and we wouldn't have come to this point when we came, but I was still kept in the dark at that time, and in the end, it was my old man who didn't know anyone, which caused you trouble. ”

Pin Yuan was originally a simple-minded person, and when he heard that the old lady was blaming himself and apologizing, he had already swept away the unhappiness that Xia Zhongda had brought in the past few days, and now there was a grandfather with some relatives who wiped his tears here, and his heart was also sympathetic.

Ma Bin on the side was still like that, his tone was soothing but he didn't change, he glanced at Xia Zhongda, then looked at the old lady and said, "Uncle Xia, don't talk about this, I will still treat you as before when you come, and there is no difference between us as before." ”

"A mistake is a mistake, I got some items from previous years by chance a few days ago, and I thought I would send them to you as a little compensation for last summer's events." As he spoke, he asked Zhang's mother to ask someone to bring the box in.

After Zhang's mother went out, she really led a group of people to carry boxes in pairs, and there were twenty boxes from beginning to end, which could not fit in the house, and some were placed under the eaves outside. There was still some light rain outside, and the man carrying the boxes was carrying only a hat, and his trouser legs were all wet, and the boxes were not spared, and each box was covered with rain, dripping down drop by drop.

After Ma Bin saw these boxes, he was stunned at first, and then after those guys opened the boxes, they were really the objects that Wang San sold last year, and when he saw the old things, he was a little moved in his heart, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Uncle Xia, you are again..." ”

The old lady took the first step and said, "The old man is not so confused that he doesn't know anything, this is what the Xia family owed you last year, and now I will pay it back to you, you can order a little." Some of them are something I recognize, when Wen Qing got married, I also asked someone to carry it over, and it was also like this rain at that time, but this time it was because of such a thing. Then he began to wipe his tears again.

When Pinyuan heard that his mother's dowry was inside, he was very surprised, and immediately walked over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a familiar object in the third box, picked it up and said, "Dad, you see this is my mother's jade jade bracelet." "When I put it down, I went to look at the contents of the other boxes. Who knew that he was stopped by Ma Bin, "Come and sit, such a big person doesn't look good, Steward Xiao, you take these guys to change into clean clothes first." ”

Pinyuan lost face in front of the people, and walked over to sit in a huff. And the housekeeper Xiao on the side also beckoned the guy to change his clothes, and also took his own guy away, and Zhang's mother, who was standing behind the old lady, also consciously retreated when she saw this scene, and because the box occupied the space, the door was still open, and the rain outside was still dripping.

Just now, there were still people everywhere in the house, but now there are finally only four people left, the Xia family father and son and the Ma family father and son. Old lady Xia also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally pushed her words into the main matter this time, but Xia Zhongda on the side never spoke, let alone raised his head.

"Say that I don't want to make amends, I'm not for anything else this time, it's to bring back half of last year's tea, last year's one pound of tea my Xia family was taken by eight copper coins, it was originally a price reduction, other families are nine times, and the remaining half I will give one or two pounds, and the one brought in here plus one thousand two hundred taels of silver to buy your remaining three thousand catties of tea, what do you think?" After the guys have avoided it, Old Man Xia didn't plan to beat around the bush, and said his intentions directly, and because of what Xia Zhongda had broken in the past few days, he temporarily added some sincerity.

"Uncle Xia, last year's tea is naturally still for you, and you can take it away at any time." Ma Bin knew in his heart the sincerity of Mrs. Xia, this box was sold for 1,800 taels last year, which was originally a temporary cheap sale, and it was naturally not just this price when he bought it back. And the Xia family's business last year was a little more lossy than in previous years, and now they are paying a high price to buy this tea, which is nothing more than wanting to do business again in the future, but now it is difficult to refuse.

But Xia Zhongda, who was sitting on the side, was not happy, he finally stopped being silent after not speaking for a long time, and said directly, "Father, you always say that I am in danger in the Xia family, and you buy tea like this without thinking about how the Xia family will live this year!" Last year's eight copper coins were agreed to by them, and there was no reason to raise it to one tael of silver and one catty, and how could these twenty boxes of things be worth one thousand eight hundred taels of silver. ”

"Bastard! Do you know why these twenty boxes of things that originally belonged to the Ma family are in our hands, if it weren't for the trouble caused by this bastard thing of yours, why would we have brought the two of us to this point! "Old lady Xia was angry in front of outsiders.

Rao is younger generation of Pinyuan also knows that at this time, he should not intervene in the conversation between Mrs. Xia and his father, his father only agreed to this business because of Mrs. Xia's old feelings, this Xia Zhongda is too ignorant, he was cleaning up the mess for him, but he was not clear-headed.

What I don't know is that Xia Zhongda has always been used to flying and domineering, and he doesn't look down on the Ma family, so he always lowers the price like this in business, and he can't afford to lose a little, if the quality and price of tea are clear, it is better, if he encounters jade like this, the quality of the jade that can be pressed down will naturally not be too good, and the losses in the past few years are not unreasonable.

Old lady Xia is a person who knows his son well, and because he is too clear, he is confused, thinking that he himself knows what kind of work he can do, but he has no self-knowledge and has stepped into an industry that he should not go to.

After being taught a lesson in front of the Ma family, who had always been a head down from him, Xia Zhongda finally couldn't help but brush his sleeves away, but none of the three people present had the heart to keep him. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xia also made it clear, and smiled at Ma Bin, "Zhongji will be here tomorrow, he is here to take away last year's tea, and secondly, to meet with you, and he will negotiate the tea in the future. ”

Ma Bin's heart is still soft in the end, if the old lady Xia doesn't come this year, this business may really not be done, and now the Xia family is so sincere, it is not easy to do, after all, Wang San still has two tea merchants waiting to buy tea, as long as he refuses one of them, it will also lay a curse for the Ma family in the future, how can this be good.

"Uncle Xia, a few days away from Ningzhou, it was a long time to travel, let's rest today, this business will be discussed later, I have cleaned up the house in the north for you, tonight I asked the kitchen to add vegetables, we haven't eaten together for a long time, and tonight I will be called to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." Although it was a dilemma, Ma Bin was still a lot lighter, at least the old object came back, and it was one thing in his heart.
