On the second day, An Ying went to Gaosheng Street, where half of the street is a tea shop, half of the street is a medicine shop, several big shops that make tea in Huzhou are on this street, and the Pingting Street next door is a tea shop for drinking tea, as well as a hotel. An Ying went to Zheng Yishun, the largest tea shop on Gaosheng Street, and she inquired clearly, the boss Zheng Ping was the manager of this Huzhou tea shop.

An Ying bought two packs of honeysuckle in the pharmacy opposite the Zheng family's tea shop, saying that she was going back to soak in water and drink, and then stood at the door of the shop. Not long after, a man dressed in green cloth came from the corner of the street, followed by a small servant with a bag. An Ying looked at it for a moment, then stepped forward.

The man in the green cloth was Zheng Ping, the owner of the tea shop, who happened to receive a new mold from Fujian on this day, so he rushed back to the store. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a little girl at the door of his store, this little girl raised her hand, signaled him to stop, and said slowly: "Zheng Jingban, please stay." ”

Zheng Ping raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Whose child are you?" ”

An Ying: "The little girl is An Tinggui's eldest daughter, and she is here to wait for Zheng to do it, my father's affairs, presumably Zheng Manager is also clear." You see......"

Zheng Ping was about to leave with his feet up, not wanting to talk more with a little girl on the street, as soon as he heard An Tinggui's name, he stopped, and couldn't help but look at this little girl again.

Zheng Ping said: "It turned out to be the eldest girl of Brother An's family, we should meet for the first time." The girl had good eyesight and recognized me at a glance. We are all very upset about your father's affairs, but this case has been investigated by the Criminal Department, and we can't do anything about it. After that, Zheng Ping also untied a cloth bag from his waist and said: "You live in an inn, there are some copper coins and silver here, you can take it, play more, and make Brother An more comfortable." ”

Seeing this, An Ying couldn't help sneering in his heart, pretending to be charitable, if he really has a heart, why wait until now to think of it.

"Thank you so much to Zheng Jingban, the little girl still wants to ask Zheng Zheng's office about some things, you see ......"

Without waiting for An Ying to finish speaking, Zheng Ping waved his hand impatiently and said: "I still have something to be busy, your father's affairs still depend on the adults of the Criminal Department, and we merchants and small people can't come to the government, it's really difficult for your girl's family to move around like this, just go back to the inn and wait for news." After that, he walked to the store, and the little guy behind took the cloth bag and handed it to An Ying, and by the way, he blocked the road, seeing that Zheng Ping was about to return to the store.

Zheng Ping, who was planning not to see this eldest girl of the An family in the future, suddenly heard a cry, only to hear the voice of the eldest girl of the An family floating miserably: "Zheng Jingban, why did you leave like this, when my father was taken away by the government, he told me that if you encounter something, you can find Zheng Jing, what should I do if you leave?" The voice was so terrible that those who heard it wept.

Zheng Ping felt that his head was bursting out, the people in the surrounding shops leaned out to look, and the pedestrians around him also stopped, feeling that more and more people began to surround him. Zheng Ping immediately asked the little maid to call the servant woman in the store, and pulled An Ying into the store half-dragged and half-invited.

Zheng Ping's tea shop is much larger than other kind of street-side tea shops, with a place to buy and sell tea cakes in the front, a place to eat tea in the back, and a private seat upstairs. Even the four corners of the lobby are several high, with potted flowers and copper ornaments on them, and there are calligraphy and paintings on one wall. An Ying was arranged by the servant woman into the private room upstairs, and a beautiful woman was sitting at the table, scooping tea and soup. Seeing An Ying coming in, he pushed the tea soup over, "This is the eldest girl of the An family, don't cry, use some tea soup first." The beautiful woman glanced at Zheng Ping and said, "Master, no matter how you invite the girl's family to talk first, why do you make a fuss on the street?" The girl's family, how to say the in-law's family in the future. I don't know, I think what's wrong? ”

An Ying said in her heart, what a powerful woman. Seeing that there are windows in the north and south of the private room, and the window on the south side faces the street, it is no wonder that he knows that he is making trouble outside. The north window faced the courtyard behind the tea shop, where a few people were talking, and there were some things piled up under the corner on one side.

Zheng Ping took off the sweat towel around his waist, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Miss An, it's not that I'm not righteous, you also have to see who this matter has provoked." ”

"Oh, I really don't know who to mess with. Zheng told me, "An Ying took a sip of tea soup and sat upright at the table, feeling like a student in a private school.

Zheng Ping didn't know how to send this girl, grabbed the tea soup and took a sip before saying, "This is an order personally issued by Master Su of the Criminal Department." We don't know what's going on. Miss An knows no, in previous years, this was handled by Lord Fu Yin, and this year has been the same. Who knows, it's only been a month since it was handed in, and we all thought that the new mold was good, and we were about to use the new mold, so this happened. It's useless for you to look for me, look at how many new molded tea cakes I have pressed in my backyard, all of them are fine purple bamboo shoots. With that, Zheng Ping let out a long sigh.

An Ying sneered and said, "Fortunately, I came to ask Master Zheng, and now I figured it out." I still think, my dad is honest and honest, where did he come from a hot head to make a new mold to please the trick, the feeling is that everyone let my dad explore the way first, and if it is smooth, it will be done, and if it is not smooth, my father will be unlucky. It's a shame that my father treats you as a brother, and Master Zheng is really not authentic in this matter. ”

Zheng Ping's face was white for a while, blue for a while, and he put the thick tea bowl in his hand on the table in half a loud voice, "Miss An, I advise you, a girl's family, don't come out to do such a face-showing thing." Your father is just a different mold, not to mention the lack of catties and two, go back and wait, not to mention that it is not only you who settle down in this tea shop, we are all watching the wind, when the time comes, our brothers in the tea shop will naturally dredge. I don't like to hear those things about you, and I don't want to hear them in the future. This will allow you to go out of this door, and your father and I are also friends, and I have nothing to say about taking care of your brothers and sisters in the future. Do you understand? ”

An Ying got up, smoothed the folds at the corners of her skirt, and said slowly, "I understand." I can't see it. It's said to be dredging, but I haven't seen any dredging these days. If I hadn't come to you, I wouldn't have known what would have happened. Although I don't like to listen to words, I also know that they don't sound good, and this is not as good as my father's life. An Ying still put the copper and broken silver brought by the little servant just now on the table, and said: "Forget about Zheng Jing's care, our sisters and brothers really can't stand it." ”

After that, An Ying left the Zheng family's shop, but when she went downstairs, she got the wrong direction and walked straight into the backyard of the house, only to hear the woman's voice floating overhead: "Miss An family, you have misremembered the way." An Ying looked up and smiled, and said, "Exactly, your store is big, it's really not easy to remember the way, it just so happens that I came to take a look at your tea cakes." As he spoke, he walked into the room he had just seen, and really saw boxes of goods stacked and wrapped in silk. An Ying looked at the pattern on the box, opened a box casually, and before he could open the goods wrapped in silk cloth, he heard the noise of people outside, and knew that Master Zheng was coming.

An Ying immediately sealed the box, walked out of the wing, and said to Master Zheng: "I'm sorry, I went in the wrong direction, so I looked at the tea cakes you said, they are really all good purple bamboo shoots." It's a pity, it's a pity. Zheng Ping sighed and said: "Look, I didn't tell you, look at my batch of good purple bamboo shoots, this time has dragged on for a long time, and it will be difficult to deal with." I don't know how this matter should end," he said, and sent An Ying out of the tea shop.

An Ying returned to the room of the inn and took out a small book from the baggage, which was the pattern of this year's mold in Fujian, square, round, copper coin style, hexagonal style, with butterfly patterns, peony patterns, and auspicious words, the last page is the most exquisite dragon and phoenix group, a small round cake, but the palm is large, depicting extremely complex dragon patterns and phoenix patterns. Today in Zheng Ping's shop, drinking this kind of tea cake, An Ying remembered that when the beautiful woman scooped the tea soup, there was a tea cake with half a cake left at hand, and it was this pattern.

An Ying thought to herself, this matter seems to have become complicated.
