Ma Bin has been really busy these days, on the one hand, the rest of last year's accounts have not been counted, after Mrs. Xia stepped in, this year's tea affairs have become more complicated, on the other hand, the niece suddenly came over in a hurry and said that the family's shop was low and regretted it, and asked the uncle for help.

The second owner of the Xia family is about to arrive in the afternoon, and it is inevitable to pack up a guest room and come out, this year's tea party is more lively than last year, but this is lively for the Ma family, but it is a chicken feather, and there is always a stubble and a pile of troubles that cannot be solved. When it was almost noon, after instructing Steward Xiao not to neglect Mrs. Xia and his party, he walked to Wanxiang Building.

There were more people on the street than usual, men and women, young and old, many faces in this shop, that one. There are also many shopkeepers in the store come out to sell, this year's new spring tea, come to try it, have not been to the white city of a hearing this call often believe this thing, only a long time of people will know that the tea in it is mixed between the old and new, not to mention the tea and different fruits, you have to pick up the fresh drink, anxious to produce fresh but easy to fall into the cliché of 'fast but not reach'.

Tea is the taste given by God, and it is not impossible to try it, although there is a new taste every year, or more fragrant, or more pure, are all benefits. This year, the tea leaves on the mountain have been almost picked, and the rest should be to see what the climate ferments the tea into, and there are still a few things that people can change, and what Ma Bin does every year is just to go with the flow.

After a while, he had already arrived in front of Wanxianglou, and immediately a guy came to greet him, but that guy was a familiar man, it was the guy who chatted with Xia Zhongda yesterday, but seeing acquaintances and living people are naturally different.

"Master Ma Wanfu, the room set by Steward Lin yesterday has already been prepared, just waiting for Master Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Master Ma is getting younger and younger." The guy gave way and flattered, so that Ma Bin, who hadn't gone out for a long time, was a little unaccustomed to it, it was still that corridor, or those noisy people, but Ma Bin was led to a deeper position, which was very suitable for talking about secret things, and very suitable for tearing his face, no one could see it anyway, and no matter how loud it was, he couldn't hear it clearly.

When he pushed the door open, Ming Yi was already waiting there, and when he saw Ma Bin, he got up again to say hello, "Uncle, today's matter really depends on you." Ma Bin smiled, there was no smile in his eyes, but he was a little tired, and only after sitting down did he say, "You went back yesterday to discuss with Gao Jin, and he should come today." Although this is your shop, since you live together, you should also ask him to come and bear the burden together. ”

Ma Bin didn't know that the contract was stolen by him, and if people came to show their stuffing, it would be inevitable that he would live up to the superficial peace that Mingyi had worked hard to manage over the years, and he really broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. Thinking of this, Ming Yi said with a little choked up, "He still has some other things to do, and he can't help when this kind of thing comes, so don't come to make trouble." "I don't mention last night's quarrel, nor do I mention the arrogance of the scholar who looks down on the merchant girl.

"Then you really want to keep this shop? You tell me the truth, yesterday the treasury bought some cash, and I can still pay back this money. Ming Yi was a little happy when she heard this, but her eyes rolled, and she felt that it shouldn't be like this, she struggled a few times, and finally made up her mind, and said slowly, "Uncle, you have given my sister and brother a great favor, and I was taken care of by you when I was young, so it stands to reason that I came out to live by myself, so I shouldn't trouble you anymore." But this time, I hope that my uncle will help, I want to get back my ancestor's shop, even if his annual profit is far less than others, it is also the thought left by my parents, even if I don't consider whether An An can still be under the shadow of this shop in the future, when Mingxin comes out to start a family, I shouldn't be able to take out anything at all. ”

"Have you thought about it, when Gao Jin came to sell the shop at the beginning of the year, I also persuaded a few words, it was the two of you who lived, I shouldn't have interfered, and then I realized that it was too late, but the relationship between uncle and nephew was ruined."

When Ming Yi heard this, she reluctantly smiled a little on her face, and said softly, "You are an uncle, don't say it's persuasion, you scold it." But he is the kind of temper, don't block the uncle. This time I planned to do so, the dowry I bought for me when I came out of my uncle's house was sold, plus the profits received by the family shop in the past few years should be enough. It's just this dowry, and I hope that the uncle won't blame me for being ruthless, and find a place to help me sell it. ”

"Eh, you still have to keep the dowry, take some from me to make up for it, otherwise you won't even have a side if something happens in the future." Ma Bin was still persuading, and a guy knocked on the door outside and said, "Master Ma, the shopkeeper of the Liang family's Cui has arrived." After receiving the promise outside the door, he led people in, and a young man who looked to be less than thirty followed in, "Master Ma has been waiting for a long time. As he spoke, he came over to make a gesture, and when he saw Ming Yi on the side, he arched his hand again.

After Ma Bin beckoned the shopkeeper Cui to sit down, he asked with a little concern, "Liang Dongjia has always been good, but when I asked Steward Lin to visit yesterday, I was a step late, and I finally passed the word on." Shopkeeper Cui said with a smile, "Master Ma also knows that the old man is willing to live in the northwest, and it is inconvenient to travel, and we can't find the East family many times." As he spoke, he looked at Ming Yi again, raised his hand and said, "I hope it didn't delay Mrs. Gao's business." ”

Ming Yi was stunned, there were not many people around him who called him like this, and he couldn't help but be a little unable to react when he heard it, and after a while, he thought that he was calling himself, so he sneered and said, "That's not true, it's really annoying Cui Da's shopkeeper today." Ma Bin on the side rang the bell on the table, signaling that the food could be served outside the door, and after a while, they were brought up one after another. When the dishes were served, Ma Bin beckoned to start.

The shopkeeper Cui saw that he was out, but he didn't shirk it, and ate it with chopsticks. After the three of them had eaten some to cushion their stomachs, Ma Bin brought the topic to the topic, "Shopkeeper Cui came this time, does the owner know what we mean?" ”

"I know, he just let me come because he knew, this is because the people under his hands don't understand the rules, they collected the contract, and they went to collect the debt. After the owner found out, he scolded them, and hoped that Master Ma would take care of them more. As he spoke, he stopped his chopsticks, looked at Mingyi and said, "Yesterday frightened Mrs. Gao, it was not ours, today I borrowed flowers to invite Mrs. Ma, and I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to Mrs. Gao to make amends." With that, he punished himself with a glass. Mingyi on the side inevitably returned the salute with tea instead of wine.

Ma Bin still had a smile on his face, but in his heart he took out what Wang San said yesterday and recalled it, and took advantage of the situation to say, "Since the owner knows, this matter is clear, it is better to choose a day, and tomorrow I will lead my niece to the counter to pay off the debt." The shopkeeper Cui was embarrassed, "Master Ma, it's not that we don't give you convenience, it's also that we don't discipline you strictly, yesterday that person failed to collect debts, but he got the pawn shop to offset the silver, I heard that he had already sent a post out, and he was going to ask for a price tomorrow." ”

Laughing with each other is a chore, and the three people present are not very hypocritical with a smile on their faces for their own thoughts, but they are also seven or eight points into the scene. Cui's shopkeeper's words were like a sudden thunder in the sky, and the person who was still laughing with him just now had another indescribable expression on his face, and his blood was poured cold water. The three of them, who were still talking and laughing, immediately turned into another quiet scene, and a storm seemed to be coming.

Seeing that the words had been twisted, the shopkeeper Cui didn't continue to eat, got up to say goodbye, and when he walked outside the door, the two people in the house had not come to their senses. Although the remaining two people are in the same daze, their minds are different, what Ma Bin thinks in his heart is what is behind the Liang family's great effort, the pawnshop has always been asking for the price every few days, and the shop that will ask for the price tomorrow is specially for himself to take the bait yesterday. Mingyi only thought about the shop, and only thought about how the money at home was enough.
