After entering the courtyard and asking Chunli to make tea for them, Zhong Lingyu told them what had just happened. She turned to Yang Muchun for help, even if she was ugly, she didn't want to hide her best friend.

Yang Muchun heard this, and was very worried: "Today, you are using the knife again, and I am here again, so you can retreat safely." What can you do if they make it difficult for you in the future? ”

"Don't be afraid." Zhong Lingyu was at ease, "My second uncle is a coward, my grandmother cares about face the most, and she is always afraid that others will say that she, the stepmother, abuses the children left behind in the past." Now that I am acting fiercely, and I do not hesitate to tear my face, and I do not hesitate to publicize my family ugliness, they dare not provoke me again for the time being. ”

mentioned the word "fierce", Yang Muchun was also the same as Zhong Lingming's two brothers, looking at Zhong Lingyu's eyes shining, full of admiration: "How dare you use a knife with them?" Aren't you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid."

"Also, you've always been bold." Yang Muchun remembered that when she was a child, Zhong Lingyu dared to fight with a boy three years older than her in order to protect her, and she was immediately relieved.

However, this is not a long-term solution. Do you have any plans? Although Yang Muchun has a good family background and doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, he is in an official eunuch's house, and he has heard a lot, and his mind is not simple. She felt that like Zhong Lingyu, she didn't have anything to rely on, even if there was a Sun family, it was too far away, and she hadn't moved around for a long time, so she was not very reliable. Zhong Lingyu holding such a fried tea recipe is no less than an unarmed child holding a large sum of silver, which will always attract the covetousness of others.

"I've figured it out. Besides, after handling the tea before the rain, I will go to Fuling County to ask my uncle and grandfather to find a backer for myself. Don't worry. Zhong Lingyu looked determined, looking confident.

Zhong Lingyu was smart when she was a child, and when they played together, she had the most ideas, and Yang Muchun had always admired her. Hearing her say this, he put his heart down, let out a long breath and said, "You just have to know in your heart." ”

Yang Muchun still had something to do at home, so he chatted with Zhong Lingyu for a while and went back. Zhong Lingyu was not worried about her mother and younger brother, so she went to Qiuyiju to appease the Zhuang family, and promised Zhong Lingming and Zhong Lingzhi, who had been worried, that nothing would happen, and sent them to the teahouse, and then returned to Dongyue Pavilion.

After two days, the house was peaceful, and the Zhuang family was afraid of the revenge of Mrs. Zhong and the Chen family, so they didn't dare to go to Ningxi Hall at all, and only lived quietly at home. Zhong Lingming and Zhong Lingzhi slowly put their hearts down.

On the third day, Zhong Lingming came back from outside in a hurry and went straight to Zhong Lingyu's house: "Sister, there are several waves of merchants coming to the tea house today to buy our pre-rain tea. ”

"Oh?" Zhong Lingyu put down the book in his hand, "What did Shopkeeper Ge say?" ”

"Shopkeeper Ge said, the first batch is to return to the old merchants, tell everyone to wait, and wait for the bidding of the old merchants to finish tomorrow, and only accept the bidding of these merchants the day after tomorrow." After Zhong Lingming finished speaking, he asked Zhong Lingyu puzzled, "Shopkeeper Ge said that this was my sister's idea." Sister, why don't we make money and let the old merchants buy it first? Aren't you afraid that the old merchants will take advantage of our preferential treatment and discuss the price in private? ”

It's too early now, Zhong Lingyu didn't want to tell Zhong Lingming that he was planning for the future, so he only said: "When the tea was in front of the Ming Dynasty, these old merchants didn't abandon us like other merchants, nor did they take the opportunity to lower the price, bullying our orphans and widows, and it was right to repay them." There are two batches of tea on top, even if they lower the price, we will not lose. Moreover, I believe that they did not take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the tea before the Ming Dynasty, and this time they will not offend us for that money. You see, Ming Qian Tea abandoned us or took the opportunity to lower the price, we didn't give them a chance at all this time. The rest of these people are not stupid, and they will not discuss the price in private and cut off the financial route for cooperating with us in the future. Therefore, in doing so, we have earned a reputation for being rewarded for our kindness, and we have made money, so why not? ”

Zhong Lingming's eyes lit up when he said this, and his eyes when he looked at Zhong Lingyu were full of admiration: "Sister, you are so powerful." ”

Zhong Lingyu raised the book in his hand: "You read more books, and if you exercise for another two years, you can be more powerful than your sister." ”

Zhong Lingming nodded vigorously.

took a sip of the tea that the maid took over, and he said: "Shopkeeper Ge asked me to ask you, the merchant who went to the second uncle to buy tea during the tea before the Ming Dynasty, this time he came back to buy tea with us, and asked to bid with those merchants tomorrow, what should we do with them?" ”

Zhong Lingyu poured tea into his teacup, and said without raising his eyelids: "Ask them to bid with the second and third batches of guests." Tomorrow will only return the old merchants who bought tea before the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Hey, Shopkeeper Ge said the same thing." Zhong Lingming admired his sister more and more.

"Where's Zhi'er?"

"Ah, Zhi went to the tea garden."

Zhong Lingyu raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Lingming in surprise: "Why did you go to the tea garden?" ”

"Yes, he said that after picking the tea, the tea garden also has to be cleaned well. The temperature is getting higher and higher, the tea leaves are growing fast, and soon another batch of tea will have to be fried, so you have to go to the tea garden to watch. There was Shopkeeper Ge and me in the teahouse, so he wouldn't join in the fun. I went to the tea garden early in the morning today, and said that if there was something to do, I would stay there and not come back. ”

During this time, because the tea garden did not produce tea, and the tea house was busy processing tea before the rain, Zhong Lingzhi has been helping in the tea house. Tomorrow is the time for the tea bidding before the rain, boys of this age like to join in the fun, the pre-rain tea fried by the Zhong family's big house this time is so sensational, Zhong Lingzhi can endure this excitement and go to the lonely tea garden alone.

Zhong Lingyu couldn't help but look at this Zhong Lingzhi and his younger brother with admiration.

"Is Zhi'er stimulated by something?" Zhong Lingyu, the half-brother, still knows himself very well, so he is quite puzzled by his behavior.

Zhong Lingming showed his snow-white teeth and gave Zhong Lingyu a bright smile: "It's just stimulated by my sister." And in the past few days, Shopkeeper Ge has praised you in front of us. ”

"......" Zhong Lingyu raised her eyebrows and did not speak again.

"Sister! How is your face!? Zhong Lingming suddenly noticed that Zhong Lingyu's face had completely lost its original black spots, and it became as smooth and delicate as before.

Zhong Lingyu reached out and touched her face, and smiled, "Yes." ”

She hadn't eaten much saury in the first place, and she had a few rashes, and she was fine after taking a dose of Ma Langzhong's medicine, and her skin was white and flawless the next night. Now that she is gradually "getting better", she has naturally regained her appearance.

When Rao saw Zhong Lingyu a few days ago, her face was already much better. But this time, seeing his sister's face recover as before, Zhong Lingming was still extremely happy.

"Sister, you go to the teahouse tomorrow and let those people see if you are disfigured!" Zhong Lingming said excitedly, thinking that he was hurt by the rumors outside some time ago, and gave Zhong Lingyu an idea.
