Chapter 087: The Lei Family
"It's bitter!" Cuiyu stuffed the soup bowl into Li Yunfei's hand with a disgusted face.
Lin Xia smiled, and hurriedly asked people to bring a few jars of fruit sauce stored in the ice cellar to relieve the bitterness of Cuiyu, and finally Cuiyu drank the sweet water mixed with the jam to relieve the bitterness on her tongue, and finally a smile surfaced.
"You're pregnant, you're already half a mother, why are you still acting unsteadily like this?" Lin Xia quipped.
Cuiyu smiled, "I learned this from my sister!" β
"......" Lin Xia only felt that her head was full of black lines, why did this jade not learn all her bad problems?
Lin Xia and Cuiyu teased Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er in the room, and said some thoughtful words, and it was close to the time of lunch before Lin Xia left the Li Mansion.
When Lin Xia returned to the mansion, Lei Biao started to eat in the dining room early, and only Lei Biao ate the dishes on the table, obviously eating a little tasteless, and when he saw Lin Xia coming back, his cold face was a little better, "Why don't you come back after eating in Li Mansion." β
Obviously, hearing some complaints in his words, Lin Xia hurriedly sat down and said softly with a smile, "Didn't my husband say that I would come back to eat after noon, I don't want to miss eating with my husband." β
Lei Biao glanced at it, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to be saying: This is about the same.
Lin Xia smiled doggedly, "Hehe, by the way, we went to Jupeng Pavilion in the afternoon, and there were two men who wanted to see us." β
"Got it, Lei Zhong told me." Lei Biao replied, not taking the two men to heart.
In the afternoon, Lei Biao and Lin Xia went to Jupeng Pavilion as promised, and the shopkeeper's face seemed to be a little stiff, after all, the Haiyan Pavilion had taken away a large part of their guests, but they still greeted them in a good voice: "Two, please upstairs." β
Lei Biao and Lin Xia didn't care about the shopkeeper's face at all, and followed the shopkeeper to the private room on the third floor.
"Guest, your guest has arrived." The shopkeeper greeted the people inside, obviously very respectful.
After speaking, the shopkeeper pushed the door open for them, and Lei Biao and Lin Xia stepped into the private room.
Entered the private room and saw the two men, one of them had a particularly outstanding temperament, the black and gray robe was secretly embroidered with handmade patterns, and the jade pendant on the waist was clear and clear, it was not ordinary at first glance, it looked like it was indeed a not simple character, and the other looked mediocre, but the dress was very ordinary.
The man in the fancy clothes was the first to get up, and his tone was a little indifferent: "In Xia He Mu." β
The other said a little proudly, "Chef in the Lower Juxian Pavilion, Li Sen." β
Lin Xia's two eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was a little curious about the Juxian Pavilion, Juxian Pavilion and Peng Pavilion? It can't be the same family, right?
"Lei Biao, this is my wife." After a brief introduction to himself, Lei Biao helped Lin Xia to sit opposite the two.
Lei Biao picked up the teapot and made two cups of tea, handed one to Lin Xia, and took a sip of one by himself, acting very casually, as if he didn't take these two people in his eyes at all.
It was the first time that He Mu and Li Sen had suffered such an attitude, their faces were a little ugly, and they also sat down in compliance and looked at the couple carefully, but He Mu always felt very familiar when he saw this Lei Biao, as if he had seen him somewhere, and he only searched for a long time, but he never thought that he had seen him anywhere.
He Mu coughed lightly and asked, "Do you two know about Juxian Pavilion?" β
Lin Xia lowered his head and drank tea obediently, as if his ears didn't hear anything outside the window, but his ears were erected early and he listened carefully. And Lei Biao just responded lightly, "I don't know." β
This indifferent attitude made He Mu Meiyu lock tightly, and he felt a little angry in his heart, but he still suppressed it, "The two who run a restaurant don't know the name of Juxian Pavilion?" There was some disdain for these two people.
Lin Xia retorted, "Why do we need to know the name of Juxian Pavilion? β
"......" He Mu was paying attention to Lei Biao the whole time, and Lin Xia's sudden voice made him really stunned.
Li Sen, who was sitting next to him, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, although Yaohai City is the second largest capital city in the Wu Dynasty, it is 108,000 miles away from the capital, and it takes more than two months just to take a boat, so it is natural not to know Juxian Pavilion." β
Listening to Li Sen's explanation, He Mu's face was a little better.
"Juxian Pavilion doesn't have much of a name, and it just has a small place in the capital." Li Sen said modestly, the purpose of coming here slowly, "Now I heard in Beijing, that is, there is a leisurely Accord in Mocheng, and the store is furnished with calligraphy and painting strategies of students from all walks of life, even the new champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua masterpieces are also among them, and the unique five-child cake is also launched for the students. β
"......" Lei Biao and Lin Xia listened lightly, without saying a word.
"So we are very interested in this leisurely Accord, specially from the capital here, but found that the leisurely Accord belongs to Yalinju, Yalinju in Qinghou County, Jiangling County, Chaoyang City have restaurants, and it seems to be very famous, we tasted all the restaurants under Yalin, really amazed us."
Li Sen sincerely continued to add: "We have always wanted to meet with the boss of Yalinju, and then asked the shopkeeper of Youxian Accord, saying that he has moved to Yaohai City, and there has been news that Yalinju has opened a sea banquet hall in Yaohai City, and we have come here non-stop to taste the seafood that we have never seen on the menu, and I really can't help but ask the shopkeeper to make an appointment with you to meet with curiosity." β
Li Sen saw that the two still did not react, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Lin Xia was a little impatient listening to his long nonsense, and said bluntly: "Then you have met, what do you want to do?" β
He Mu was not as impetuous as before, but changed his gentle face and said humbly: "We just want to make friends with the two of you." Suddenly, his eyes flashed, "But I heard that last winter, Yalinju sold a batch of fresh vegetables, is this true or false?" β
Lin Xia was shocked and didn't dare to admit it.
Lin Xia had considered the disadvantages when planting greenhouse vegetables, after all, the ancient development technology was not so advanced, and it was impossible to grow summer vegetables in winter, but Yalinju planted it, and sold it on a large scale, which was very eye-catching.
However, Lin Xia has always felt that wealth is in danger, she has earned it by relying on fresh vegetables, and when the news spreads and reaches the ears of those dignitaries and magnates, Lin Xia can get acquainted with the powerful through fresh vegetables, and expand the relationship network of Yalinju, after all, Yalinju does not have a tough background, and it is easy to be targeted by people with hearts in the future, she doesn't want to be ruined by all her hard work under an order from others.
Unexpectedly, some people disdained to be friends with Yalinju, but instead came to the door and directly threatened to force it, it seems that Lin Xia is still too naΓ―ve.
Lei Biao seemed to be aware of Lin Xia's emotions, and patted Lin Xia's hand lightly under the table, and said with an indifferent face, "Is it true or false, you have already found out the results, why bother to ask again." β
He Mu pursed the corners of his lips lightly, "We Mingren don't say dark words, so I'll be blunt." We at Juxian Pavilion want to buy a large number of your vegetables, and the price is negotiable. β
"Why?" Lei Biao said.
This doesn't sound like a rhetorical question, but He Mu still replied, "In the Wu Dynasty, no one has ever been able to grow summer vegetables in winter, and your Yalinju has not only planted them, but also sent a lot of dignitaries and nobles, and sold them on a large scale, these news have been successively transmitted to the capital, and even the palace, I believe that many people will come to inquire about the news soon." β
Lin Xia hooked his lips and smiled deeply, "Then you guys are really fast." β
He Mu didn't care about what Lin Xia said at all, and asked bluntly, "Do you want to hold this technology in your hands?" β
"Why not."
was blocked by Lei Biao's indifferent tone, He Mu was very disdainful in his heart, these two people deserved to come out of the countryside, so ignorant of current affairs. "You don't seem to have a very tough backer, it's already very good that you Yalinju can make such a result, if you ruin all your hard work because of a vegetable, is it worth the loss?"
The threat hidden in the words Lei Biao and Lin Xia were heard clearly, Lei Biao was expressionless as always, and Lin Xia fell into deep thought.
She has not forgotten that this is ancient times, this is the Wu Dynasty, the monarchy, killing people silently, if she was killed by someone one night, she didn't know who she was, and she just threw a mass grave and ended her life, and no one remembered or remembered it. Lin Xia is a traverser, God let her cross over, gave her a new life, met her husband, gave birth to a pair of twins, has a field and a shop, and has a happy life, if she dies like this, it is really not worth it.
Lin Xia just wanted to loosen his mouth and sell this out-of-season vegetable, but was blocked by Lei Biao.
"It's up to you."
I saw Lei Biao's obsidian-like eyes, exuding a cold and fierce light, which brought people an infinite sense of oppression.
He Mu was stared at by this gaze, and a picture quickly flashed in his mind, and he was immediately shocked, "You are from the Lei family?" β
Lin Xia looked at Lei Biao with a face, this look was simply full marks, handsome, and she was sorry in her heart, why did her husband drag him so much, what if he really died? But hearing He Mu's call again, Lin Xia quickly sobered up, keenly aware that the Lei family seemed to be a not simple existence.
Lei Biao was silent, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea very comfortably.
He Mu was obviously a little flustered, "No, it's impossible, if you are from the Lei family, wouldn't it be ......?"
Lin Xia frowned slightly, silently, glanced at Lei Biao sideways, and saw that he was still the same as usual, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Could it be that the Lei family is very famous in the capital? It can't be a powerful person, right? Or a relative of the emperor? Lin Xia couldn't help but guess in his heart.
Li Sen, who was sitting on the side, also quickly thought of the Lei family in He Mu's mouth, his face was full of disbelief, and he hurriedly looked at Lei Biao carefully, and found that the eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar, if it was really the Lei family, then reasoning down was really scary.
Who would have thought that he was just a villager, born in the countryside, but he would have some connection with the famous families in the capital.
