After a watch, Ah Wu was just about to put down the latch, and when he finished the day's business, a man from the Ma family came over to ask Siming to go to the courtyard tomorrow.

Ah Wu had no choice but to send people back politely, and went to the backyard to find Siming to say, the light in the house was still on, so he walked to the door and said softly, "The owner, the Ma family sent someone over there, saying that you will go tomorrow, there is something important to discuss." ”

There was a response from the house, followed by the sound of the food box opening, Ah Wu pushed the door in, and saw Siming cleaning up the table, so he went over to take the job, "Boss, you go to take a bath and sleep, I am here." As he spoke, he put the pastries in the food box one by one.

"Host, do you still eat the pastries in the box? This smell is really fragrant, and the cook at Miss Liang's house is good. As he spoke, he became a little greedy.

Siming was in a good mood, and waved his hand behind the screen, "Take that dish of radish cake and eat it, look at you glutton." After a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I heard that Rulan is doing embroidery." ”

"What? The owner should also be interested in buying some? ”

Siming hesitated for a moment before saying, "My sweat towel is a little old, you can help me pick two plain ones." ”

The next day, before dawn, it was the bright moon, on the way to the Ma family courtyard, a carriage was galloping forward, and Siming in the car touched the handkerchief in his hand, a little distracted.

Yesterday evening, the woman suddenly leaned over and just said something of advice to make people careful. Siming was unsteady on his feet, knocked over the teacup on the table, and splashed himself with water. What a panicked scene it was, Siming was full of smiles when she thought about it now, and I don't know if she was angry that she didn't say goodbye.

The road that used to be very far away, but Siming felt that it was too close, and before he could reminisce about it, he had already arrived at the gate of the other courtyard. Siming returned to his previous calmness, walked into the courtyard, and went to the main hall.

Ma Bin was already waiting there, and when he saw Siming arrive, he didn't get up from his seat, but just rubbed his forehead, which had been wrinkled, and motioned for Siming to sit down.

"San'er, this year is really eventful." After Siming arrived, Ma Bin didn't say anything immediately, but sighed first.

Siming couldn't help but comfort him and said, "There are many good things, so there will naturally be twists and turns." ”

Ma Bin sighed again and said to the guy at the door, "Go and call the two of them over." ”

In the last few discussions, Uncle Ma always called Mingxin too, which made Siming a little curious, but he felt that this was someone else's family matter, and he couldn't ask more, so he kept a little twisted.

"After the tea party, the Ma family has a glass of wine, you can also drink a little." Ma Bin obviously saw it, and he no longer hid it, so he said it directly.

"Huh?"

"Mingxin's entrance to the door wine, it should have been done a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now." As soon as the words fell, Pinyuan and Mingxin had already arrived at the door.

"Third brother, you're here, why didn't you see you all day yesterday?" When Pinyuan saw Siming, he immediately ran over, obviously he only saw him the day before yesterday, but it seemed like he had been away for a long time.

Ma Bin didn't reprimand Pin Yuan today, only let the two of them sit, and said, "It's all here today, let's talk about the tea merchant." ”

Yesterday, when Siming was eating lunch in the Huanyuan Garden, Ma Bin also returned to Ma's house in the north of the city with Pinyuan, and the matter of roasting tea was finally settled, and it was also the time to negotiate with the tea merchant. A few days ago, they invited tea merchants to go to the other courtyard, and this time in order to show their sincerity, they set up a banquet in Wanxianglou in the city to invite two tea merchants.

During the banquet, the main person who spoke was still Lu Dongjia, although he didn't say it explicitly, he still talked about a lot of disappointments in the Ma family, such as the declining reputation outside, the old tea workshop, and even the insect damage to the tea, which made the Ma family's father and son look very bad, and they didn't even mention the price, and ended the negotiation in a hurry.

A day passed, and Pinyuan was still a little angry, learning the words of the Lu Dongjia and saying, "Ouch, it's not that the old man dislikes the tea of the old man Ma's family, when I tried it with Li Dongjia before, I was very satisfied, and I immediately repaired a letter to my eldest brother, saying that we have to do business this year."

It's just... Alas, it's not me who said, the last time I went to the workshop, I saw the appearance of the workshop, it was too hasty, there were a few more people, and there was no place to stay.

In recent days, the rumors about the Ma family are not very good, and this is not that I listen to rumors, but we are the first time to buy tea, and we are not familiar with the people here, so it is always right to listen to the local people. ”

Pinyuan's words were learned beautifully, adding a few funny words to the news that was bad news, in the end, it was a child's heart, and he had only experienced being praised by others when he was praising his own tea, where did he understand the serious consequences of this, thinking that it was nothing more than buying a few catties of tea and making a little less money.

Ma Bin was bored by this matter, and didn't care about Pinyuan's words. Mingxin was still worried because of Pinyuan's pretended old-fashioned tone, but he also held back a little laughter.

Only Siming heard this, and became restless, the meaning of selling far away before, it was obvious that the tea merchant intended to lower the price, but this Lu Dongjia is not such an ignorant person, if it is to reduce the price, it is not said in front of another owner, and it may be easier to discuss with Ma Bin in private, or through Siming's matchmaking tower bridge. Now as soon as these words come out, either the two have privately reached a scene of singing white face and singing red face; Either the Lu Dongjia wants to withdraw, as an excuse not to do this business, so as not to complain in the future.

"Uncle Ma, I'll go and explain to the Lu Dongjia in a while, what kind of idea he has. His family's willingness to buy tea is said to be very strong, and it should not be so easy to change the hexagram, when he was still in Zhangcheng before, the Lu family was already starting to promote the tea in this Baidi City. ”

When Ma Bin heard this, he was a little relieved, and said, "This will be handed over to you, I am afraid that someone in the city will blow the wind in their ears again, it is a business in hand, but the bamboo basket is empty, and the two families can't do it." ”

"No, then Li Dongjia didn't say anything at the banquet, right?"

Speaking of this, Pinyuan was also angry, "Third brother, that Li Dongjia is really a big score!" When he was invited to dinner, he had sent his companions, but he came a quarter of an hour late. After I came, I just listened to us and didn't say a word, as if I had reserved a special session for the person surnamed Lu. ”

Ming Xin saw that what Pinyuan said was a little too much, so he came over and pulled his sleeve and asked him not to say any more, these words were heard by his father, and it was inevitable that he would be said again.

"Come on, I didn't say anything about you just now, you still kicked your nose in the face, and you have been making you more stable, you look like this now, what kind of words do you like! That Li Dongjia didn't help with it, it was already merciful, and it was really hard to tell the difference. ”

After Ma Bin reprimanded Pinyuan, he suddenly asked Wang San, "What happened to Zhou's family two days ago?"

"It's mainly the shop in the eastern suburbs, which was squeezed by Zhouji pastry shop, probably because I don't want to have another shop in the eastern suburbs."

Pinyuan didn't agree, and said bluntly, "I think that Zhou's family didn't like our family, and they stumbled us everywhere, maybe the tea merchants, and they made ghosts out of it!" ”

Syllable! With the sound of slapping the table, Ma Bin was already a little angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue, so he had to drink the tea vigorously.

"The Zhou family had some festivals with us in the early years, and it is inevitable not to let it be better, San'er, you pay attention to it, at this time, more things are better than less things, and the matter of the tea shop in the eastern suburbs will be put first, and then talk about it after this period of time. As long as a few shops in the city are not affected, although individual customers do not buy much, they are still customers. After speaking, he said to Pinyuan, "This year, you should be low-key for me, don't make trouble, and take Mingxin to buy a few sets of clothes these days." ”

Pinyuan is like a stubborn spring grass, a little dew will be reconciled as before, I heard that I want to make clothes, so I asked, "I heard that Uncle She's family recently came to a tailor, named Wan Baolai, I heard that it is very famous, since you want to make clothes for Mingxin, why don't you invite him to come over and make a few more good sets for Mingxin." ”

Ma Bin glanced at Mingxin, and then said to Pinyuan, "Then Wanbaolai is also what you said you could invite over?" There is no acquaintance here, how can it be so easy, you child's heart should really be changed, you are eighteen years old and still don't look like you have grown up. ”

"Uncle Ma, that Wan Baolai and I have a relationship, to make a few clothes, he will still have some thin noodles." Siming had no intention of dismantling the stage, but Pinyuan seemed to like the tailor's clothes very much, so he also said it.

Ma Bin was a little shocked, so he agreed, and instructed Pinyuan to see people not to make a mistake, and also asked Mingxin to follow him to see the world.
