Chapter 17 A Chance Encounter in a Teahouse

In the early morning of this day, Xia Lian personally buttoned the third brother of the Lin family, and said tenderly in his ear: "Husband, I have made an appointment with the head of Yuhefang, and we will see you at the Accord in Baoning Teahouse today." ”

He cautiously glanced at the maid in the outhouse and said, "Be careful, don't let my father know, that Yuhefang always wants to steal our exclusive carving techniques to rob the royal family's special channel, and my father is not very happy." ”

Xia Lian was immediately silenced and concentrated on buttoning the placket of his clothes.

The third brother of the Lin family remembered something again, and said, "By the way, what news did Mama have to find that man the day before yesterday?" ”

Xia Lian's mouth pouted downward: "It's really strange, that person disappeared out of thin air!" ”

"Oh? Did that person not intercept the little sister at all? ”

Xia Lian tightened the belt of the third brother of the Lin family with his hand, and said unwillingly: "Maybe yes, Mama went to the suburbs to see the little sister's carriage first, and the reins of the bolted horse were indeed broken." She searched around, but she didn't see the man around, and she went to his house to look for the place she likes to go on weekdays, but she didn't find him. ”

"Humph! Most of the people Mama is looking for are unreliable, this kind of big smoker, I don't know where to go to ecstasy when I get the money, where can I still do things! Next time, don't let Mama find someone. ”

Xia Lian still wanted to argue a few words for his dowry grandmother, and thought of asking him to meet the people from the Yuhefang, so he had to swallow the words in his stomach, and said with a wry smile: "Let's go quickly, don't let the family wait for a long time." ”

As soon as they went out on the front foot, Lin Zhuyun walked out of his courtyard with Xiaotang on the back foot.

"Xiaotang, take a closer look at me, can you still see the bruise on this wrist?" She rolled up the sleeves of her soft white smoky skirt, revealing a lotus arm that was whiter than her clothes.

Xiaotang lowered his head and looked carefully, and he couldn't see the bruises and purple scratches of the previous days, but there was a refreshing magnolia fragrance.

She put down Lin Zhuyun's sleeve and said with a smile: "I can't see it, now Miss, your wrist is as white, tender and sweet as the camellia soft cheese in Baoning Teahouse." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhuyun showed his silver teeth and smiled, and gently pointed Xiaotang's nose with his index finger and said:

"You glutton, you would compare other people's wrists to eating. However, I am really hungry when you say it, the weather is good today, I will take you to eat fresh camellia cheese after I go to greet Daddy and Auntie. ”

"Thank you, Miss!" Xiaotang immediately smiled and saluted.

……

Inside the private room of the Baoning Tea House.

"Thank you for being willing to meet us, if the matter is done, we will be 'beans and vines' in the future, and we will be rich and prosperous in this mausoleum together."

Xia Lian's joy reflected the spring breeze on the face of the third brother of the Lin family at the moment, and he proudly drew a blueprint for He Zhangshi, trying to show his strength in the business field.

But He didn't raise his eyes, he used a bowl to pluck the fine silver quill in the teacup, and slowly drank a sip before saying: "It's still early to say this, ask me to come over, but the silver taels mentioned earlier are all together?" ”

The third brother of the Lin family has always relied on Lin Ji's prestige, and he has rarely been so neglected outside, and his face is difficult to look at at the moment.

Xia Lian glanced at it, and hurriedly eased up:

"Don't worry, don't worry about it, let's not talk about silver today. Didn't you always say that you were afraid that I would not be credible when a woman came out to talk about business, but today the third master of our Lin family came in person, and you also know how sensitive our two families are when they meet, so we can see our sincerity! ”

He Zhangshi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Lian, then at the third brother of the Lin family, and said with a faint smile: "Also, the third master of the Lin family is willing to come to see me in person, which has already given a great face." However, in business, if there is no silver tael, how can you talk about business? ”

Lin San was about to speak, Xia Lian hurriedly pressed him, she personally got up and picked up the teacup that He Zhangshi had drunk and changed it to a new cup of tea, came to his side and said:

"When we talk about business, we must give silver taels, but we are not in a hurry at this time, are we? You also know that our husband and wife have limited cash in their hands at present, but our sincerity in doing business with you can be seen in heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be seen! Coming here today is a compromise method that we want to say to you, I wonder if you are willing to sell us a face, enjoy the light and listen? If it is possible, please tell the adult as well. ”

He Zhangshi saw Xia Lian's diligence in adding tea to himself, and his heart was naturally beautiful, and he touched the tea cup and said, "You say come and listen." If it is appropriate, I can go to the person above me. ”

Xia Lian was overjoyed, sat down beside He Zhangshi, and said eagerly: "I heard Lin Ji's buddy say that all the horse gangs from the Shan country will arrive a while late, and the same is true for those in your fang." I don't know if it's true? ”

He Zhangshi glanced at Xia Lian, lowered his head and drank tea: "Well, there is such a thing. ”

The smile on Xia Lian's face was stacked so much that it was about to overflow that face: "Yes, so I thought it would be better for us to bookmark the deed first, so you don't have to find other buyers, and when the materials arrive, they will be sent directly to our shop, and then we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

"Signed deed? Who signs? Are you old men? ”

Xia Lian's eyes dodged for a moment, and continued: "The old man only cares about carving the special things for the royal family now, and these trivial matters in the business are handled by a few of our children, and this deed can be signed by Lin San." ”

The head of the Yuhefang had never cooperated with Lin Ji, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, but he was still skeptical and asked, "Is it feasible to sign him alone?" ”

Xia Lian gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck and said, "If you are really not at ease, when the time comes, we will bring the old man's seal and sign the deed with you, right?" ”

When the third brother of the Lin family heard this, he was about to open his mouth but was twisted by Xia Lian's thigh, and he immediately shut up in pain.

He Zhangshi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, before he said leisurely: "I'm going back to ask, I'm just in charge, and the people above me still have to decide such a major matter." ”

Xia Lian saw that there was a drama and immediately said: "Cheng Cheng Cheng!" I went back and asked. ”

At this moment, Lin Zhuyun took Xiaotang into the Baoning Teahouse, picked a window seat on the side of the lobby and sat down.

When the shopkeeper of the teahouse saw Lin Zhuyun coming, he hurriedly came over with a smile and said, "Miss Lin hasn't come over for some days?" What to use today? ”

Lin Zhuyun glanced at the people in the lobby, and only said with a faint smile: "A pot of Gantong tea and a drawer of camellia soft cheese are fine, and the shopkeeper is tired." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Zhuyun and looked at the lobby, thinking that he was looking for the third brother of the Lin family, so he said: "Lin Sanye is upstairs in the Accord, Miss Lin wants to go up?" ”

Lin Zhuyun wondered when he heard this: The third brother is here to meet guests?

However, in order not to startle the snake, she put on a flattering smile and said to the shopkeeper: "I originally ran out of the house today to satisfy my hunger, but I didn't expect to bump into the third brother, and please don't tell the third brother that I am coming, and when he leaves, you will also cover up for me, don't let him come to the lobby." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Zhuyun's delicate and lovely appearance, remembered the equally naughty daughter in his family, and his heart suddenly softened a little, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I understand, I understand! After a while, they will go downstairs from the second floor and go directly out of the door, and they can't get to you, so you can eat camellia cheese with peace of mind, and I will bring you a drawer of freshly steamed ones. ”

Lin Zhuyun smiled and crooked: "Thank you, shopkeeper!" In the future, I will take care of the business a lot. ”

As soon as the tea was served, Lin Zhuyun heard the footsteps of several people coming from the wooden staircase, she leaned forward slightly, and sure enough, she saw the third brother and sister-in-law of the Lin family coming down from upstairs.

I saw the two of them bowing slightly, smiling at a middle-aged man in front of them who was dressed in brocade and had a shrewd face, quite flattering.

After seeing it clearly, Lin Zhuyun immediately lowered her head to prevent them from finding out, and after hearing that they had gone out, she called the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, who are my third brother and third sister-in-law seeing today?" Which shop do I look like? ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse was a big-hearted person, and he felt that Lin Zhuyun and Lin San were his own family, so he said directly: "That's the shopkeeper of Yuhefang, I see that you Lin Ji had little contact with them before, and I was surprised when they met today." ”

Yuhefang? Lin Zhuyun lowered his eyes, and his index finger tapped lightly on the table and fell into deep thought.

In her previous life, when she was indulging in Jiang Xianxu's false tenderness and sweetness, Lin Ji jade carving experienced a catastrophe, which was related to Yuhefang.

About that turmoil, Lin Zhuyun only remembered that the door of Lin Ji, who came to ask for the explanation, was blocked, and their subordinates smashed the jade in the entire shop, and afterwards Daddy beat the eldest brother and the third brother to lie on the bed for half a month, saying that there was a problem with the jade raw materials.

Half of the problematic materials were transported back by the eldest brother's horse gang, and half were bought by the third brother from Yuhefang, and in the end, Lin Ji and Yuhefang jointly lost money to all buyers.

After this incident, both families were greatly damaged, and the business was not as good as before, and the father was unwilling to take care of the business anymore, so he only buried himself in the carving room all day long, and the third brother took advantage of this to gradually control the entire Lin Ji's business.

"Miss, eat it quickly, this camellia cheese should be delicious while it is hot!"

Xiaotang's words pulled Lin Zhuyun's thoughts back, she picked up a piece of soft cheese but didn't put it in her mouth, her brows furrowed tightly.

It's all because she didn't care about the family's business in her previous life, and now she can't remember what went wrong with that batch of materials, why Daddy, who has always disliked Yuhefang, would agree to the third brother to buy the materials from there, and why the eldest brother also had problems with the materials shipped back.

The soft cheese slowly melted between Lin Zhuyun's fingers, and the sticky feeling made her come back to her senses, she had to go back quickly, keep an eye on the third brother, and couldn't let the Lin family suffer the catastrophe in her previous life again!

When she hurriedly stepped into the Lin Mansion, she saw Xu Luqing walking out of the courtyard of Mother Lin.

Xu Luqing also saw her, and greeted her with a light smile: "Sister is back, just right, my aunt just said that on the fifteenth day, she wanted us to accompany us to Dongshan Temple to make incense, let me ask if you can go." ”

"Of course I have to go, what my mother ordered." She smiled at Xu Luqing.

Yes, it's almost fifteen, and it's time to go and see how Jiang Xianxu's fan is repaired.
