Nanhe Street, Mingyue Tea House.

At this time, it is still early, and there are not many guests.

A middle-aged man about forty years old was leisurely sipping tea on the second floor, when he listened to the little servant pedaling up the stairs.

"Shopkeeper!"

Fang Xuran's face was displeased: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Frizzy, what it looks like. ”

The little guy panted, pointed downstairs, and said nervously: "Shopkeeper, you, you can go down!" Someone is looking for! ”

Fang Xuran opened his eyes: "What, there are distinguished guests?" ”

"It's not! Yes, yes—" The little guy looked embarrassed, and didn't seem to know what to say, "Anyway, you'll know when you go down and see!" ”

Fang Xuran had to get up, dusted off his clothes, and then went downstairs slowly.

"This tea house is a noble man's business, and if you let people see it like this, you won't be laughed at."

Fang Xuran chattered as he walked down.

Suddenly, his voice paused, and he looked at the few people standing in the store, stunned.

Hearing the voice, the girl standing at the front looked up.

She was dressed in a moon-white embroidered begonia skirt, and the green silk was only pulled up with a white hosta, and she stood there, with a graceful posture and a graceful and beautiful appearance.

She was holding a small ball of milk on her right hand, and she looked to be about four years old, looking curiously at the store with her big black grape-like eyes.

The two teenagers in the back, one is Sven and elegant, and the other is presumptuous.

Fang Xuran faintly guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, slowed down his pace, and arched his hand:

"In the shopkeeper of Xia Mingyue Tea House, dare to ask this young lady but——"

Ye Chutang smiled.

"Shopkeeper Fang, I have admired the name for a long time, I am Ye Chutang."

Fang Xuran said in his heart, sure enough!

Although he had never seen this face, it was too easy for people to guess the identity of the four sisters and brothers standing together.

"Miss Ye Er! If you miss the distance, forgive me! Fang Xuran immediately showed a warm smile, "You see that you came too suddenly, we didn't prepare anything......

"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite." Ye Chutang interrupted him softly.

Fang Xuran smiled.

"Yes, you're right! You can come whenever you want. ”

He glanced at Ye Chutang a few times, and asked tentatively, "I heard that you were injured a few days ago, why didn't you take care of yourself at home, but came here instead?" ”

The news spread really fast.

"It doesn't matter." Ye Chutang shook his head slightly, "I have nothing to do at home, so I want to take a look." ”

Fang Xuran thought about it a few times in his heart, but his face was unlimited, and he smiled: "Of course this is no problem!" Just look! These two are the third and fourth sons, right? What a talent! And the fifth miss—"

Ye Chutang was not interested in listening to his flattery, looked left and right, and said, "This store seems to be a little deserted?" ”

Fang Xuran explained: "The tea business is different from other businesses, it has always been like this. ”

Ye Chutang walked forward, sat down on the chair, and said:

"Shopkeeper Fang, sit down too."

Fang Xuran subconsciously responded, and then reacted that something seemed to be wrong.

- Obviously he is the shopkeeper of this tea house, but why does it seem that Ye Chutang has become the one who takes the initiative? From the moment she came in, every word and deed was as if this was her territory.

Fang Xuran felt a little uncomfortable, but he still sat down, and at the same time scolded the little guy in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze?" I didn't see Miss Ye Er and they all came, and they didn't go to make tea! ”

The little guy answered and hurriedly went.

Fang Xuran arched his hand and said with an apologetic smile: "The following people are negligent in discipline, which makes you laugh." ”

The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved, and he didn't care about his pretentious and majestic set.

She got straight to the point: "The second uncle returned this tea house to me, the shopkeeper should already know, right?" ”

Fang Xuran's expression froze.

But just for a moment, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he nodded again and again: "Yes." ”

Ye Chutang said politely: "Actually, I came here today, I don't mean anything else, I just want to understand the situation of this tea house in the past three years." After all, our sisters and brothers have been out before, and they don't know anything about the situation in the capital, although they got back the title deed, but there are still many places that they don't understand, and they have to trouble the shopkeeper. ”

Fang Xuran smiled and responded.

"No problem! If there's anything you want to ask, just ask! I must know everything in the next! ”

Not to mention anything else, dealing with these sisters and brothers is still a trivial matter.

"Then thank you to Shopkeeper Fang first." Ye Chutang tilted his head, "Ah Yan." ”

Ye Jingyan handed over a book, and Fang Xuran caught a glimpse of what seemed to be an account book.

"This is the account transactions of the tea house in the past three years, I have read it before, there are a few places that are not very clear, I want to ask the shopkeeper Fang to answer, can you?"

Ye Chutang asked softly.

I don't know why, a subtle uneasiness rose in Fang Xuran's heart.

But looking at the warm and beautiful face in front of him, as well as the clear and clear black eyes, Fang Xuran felt that he was thinking too much.

What can a seventeen-year-old girl understand?

He nodded: "Miss Ye Er, just ask!" ”

Ye Chutang opened the account book, pointed to a certain page, and asked: "The price of this batch of Mingqian Longjing imported from Yuzhou in April last year doesn't seem to be right. ”

"What?"

Fang Xuran was directly stunned.

He thought about it, but he didn't expect Ye Chutang to ask such a question!

"Why, what's wrong?" Fang Xuran asked rhetorically.

Ye Chutang said: "It seems to be a lot more expensive." ”

Fang Xuran glanced at it.

"Oh, you mean this? You don't know this, the tea in Yuzhou is of good quality, the output is small, and it has always been expensive, which is the normal purchase price. ”

He smiled and said, "You were in Gangneung a few years ago, and you didn't know much about these things, so it's normal to think it's expensive. But in fact, the really good Ming Qian Longjing is to be counted this number. ”

In and out of the words, it is implied that Ye Chutang does not know anything about these at all, and he is a layman at all.

Ye Chutang tilted his head.

"Really? Coincidentally, I visited a tea merchant who was passing through Gangneung last year, and he said that Yuzhou had a high production last year, and the price of tea was lower than in previous years. Shopkeeper Fang, the purchase price on your account is three times the price he quoted. ”

The smile on the corner of Fang Xuran's mouth gradually froze.

"This, this...... It's just a tea merchant, maybe he didn't tell you the truth at all? People like them don't have a few words of truth when they're out of the house—"

"Really?" Ye Chutang blinked, "But that person is doing business in the capital, and he also said that Lord Tang Zhongli likes his tea very much and buys it every year." ”

She looked at Ye Jingyan.

"Why don't you ask the priest-sama about it?"

Fang Xuran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

How can Ye Chutang still have such connections?

And in the entire capital, who doesn't know that Ye Jingyan personally wrote a letter of recommendation by Tang Zhongli to enter the Guozijian, if he really asked-
