Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 71

Chapter 70 Fell into Whose Arms

"Treasurer Yan?" Jin Xi was really astonished, how could it be impossible to imagine that the shopkeeper Yan of Chaxiangxuan would go over the mountains to find Sunjiagou in Shangadari?Could it be that there was something wrong with the batch of tea last time?

impossible!

"Miss Jinxi, this small mountain village of yours is really easy to find. I almost lost my way when I searched for it all the way! I found it!" Shopkeeper Yan gasped, his clothes were covered with a layer of dust, The same is true for reading glasses.

Puzzled in her heart, Jin Xi and Sun Yuxia first welcomed Shopkeeper Yan into the door, and at home, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Yubao all came out after hearing the sound.

Shopkeeper Yan washed his face and dusted off the dust on his body with a feather duster. Jin Xi found a clean soft cloth and asked him to wipe his glasses. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and came to the main room.

"Shopkeeper Yan, are you here alone?" Sun Yubao asked after taking his seat.

Shopkeeper Yan withdrew his eyes from looking at the main room, smiled, and said, "I also brought a man who drives a carriage, and asked him to stop in front of the stone monument at the entrance of the village."

"Ah, it's so far away, why don't you come in for a rest? The horse also needs to drink and feed some food. Shopkeeper Yan, please sit down first, and I'll go and bring your carriage and buddy over here." Liang Yuzhong After finishing speaking, he was about to get up and go out, but was stopped by Shopkeeper Yan.

"Thank you for your kindness. The horses were well fed when they came, and they don't need any extra food. I'm going to leave after sitting down for a while, and I can't get away because of something in the shop!"

"Father, just follow Shopkeeper Yan, he is busy with his affairs. By the way, Shopkeeper Yan, I haven't asked you yet, but I have come all the way here, is there something wrong?" Jin Xi asked.

Shopkeeper Yan nodded, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Jin Xi.

Jin Xi took it over suspiciously and took a look, it was actually a bank note with a face value of 50 taels, with a bank stamped on it, and there was a semicolon in Changqiao Township, every time Jin Xi went back to town, she would usually hit the street in front of the bank pass by.

Jinxi handed the banknote to Sun Yubao and the others. Sun Yubao was literate, and immediately read out the denomination and the bank. Everyone expressed shock at this moment. Ga Po, Sun's family, and Sun Yuxia had never seen a banknote. Tickets, and I don't know how the shopkeeper Yan sent such a large sum of money for no reason!

"Shopkeeper Yan, you have paid us the money for our last batch of autumn tea. This bank note is..." Jin Xi asked in surprise.

Shopkeeper Yan twisted a few strands of beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "The regular customers responded well to the batch of green tea last time, and the black tea is also very popular with the people in the town. I plan to ask you to send more this winter. The tea leaves go to the Tea Fragrance Hall, and as for the tea money, I will send them to you in advance."

Jin Xi and Sun Yubao were both surprised and happy. They were happy that the tea could be liked by customers, and they were surprised that the 50 taels of silver was a big deal.Jin Xi then said again: "Master Yan, if the response to our tea is good, you can send someone over to tell us that we can stir fry more and send it over after winter comes. But the 50 taels of silver ticket, we had it in the original contract Didn't it say that the payment is due? You paid in advance like this, which makes us a little..."

Shopkeeper Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, looked at the people in the room, and said: "The contract is a dead thing with rules and regulations. Only by changing the situation at any time can we make a big deal. I am very optimistic about the tea roasted by your family. I am willing to pay in advance. My sponsorship for you! You don’t need to worry too much, take this silver ticket and plan the next batch of winter tea carefully. I am a businessman, so I want it to be worth it!”

Since shopkeeper Yan said so, Jin Xi felt relieved, she exchanged glances with Sun Yubao, and then accepted the silver ticket graciously.

"Shopkeeper Yan, you are really our great benefactor. Thanks to you, our tea can be exchanged for silver..." Sun thanked Shopkeeper Yan with red eyes.

She knew that Jin Xipan shop was still short of money, and she was always weighed down by a stone in her heart. At this moment, the arrival of shopkeeper Yan undoubtedly allowed them to see the moon through the dark clouds, not only the Sun family, Ga Po, Sun Yuxia, but even the little girl. The young Jinrou always regards Shopkeeper Yan as a great benefactor.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Yan. With your favor and support, we will definitely not let you down with the first batch of winter tea after winter begins," Jin Xi said earnestly.

"That's good, that's good!" Shopkeeper Yan said with a smile, took a sip of tea, then said goodbye and got up.

Everyone in the room stood up and wanted to keep shopkeeper Yan. Liang Yuzhong took a step forward and stopped shopkeeper Yan. Farmers don't know how to be pretentious, so it is true to keep him: "Shopkeeper Yan, it's not easy for you to come all the way to the mountains. , at any rate, we have to have lunch before we can leave."

"It's all simple tea and light food, don't be disgusted, at least fill your stomach before you go on your way!" Granny also advised to stay.

"Hehehe, thank you for your stay. Mr. Yan is really busy with work. I will definitely come back as a guest when I work hard next time!"

"You are busy with your affairs, and you take such good care of our children. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Please stay after lunch before leaving?" Sun said.Over there, Sun Yuxia swiftly packed up the dry goods. Those dry goods were straw mushrooms, fungus, and bamboo shoots usually picked from the mountains, which can be regarded as local specialties in the mountains.

Shopkeeper Yan declined politely. On the one hand, he couldn't bear the enthusiasm and straightforwardness of the Sun family. On the other hand, he was really moved by those wild goods, so he accepted them with a smile.

"A capable child is rare for everyone. Our two families are now business partners, and we will naturally have the opportunity to visit in the future. If you go to the town, you can come to Chaxiangxuan to play tricks." Before leaving the door, shopkeeper Yan told The whole family sent out behind them cupped their hands and said.

"Definitely..." Everyone responded.

Liang Yuzhong took Sun Yubao and Jin Xi all the way to the village entrance with Shopkeeper Yan, watched him get into the carriage and drove out of sight, and then turned back to the village.

"It's really poor and there is no way out, and there is another village in the shadows and flowers!" Sun Yubao was overjoyed, and threw out two poems.Liang Yuzhong couldn't hide his excitement.

Jin Xi's eyes lit up, and she jokingly said, "Uncle drying ink?"

Sun Yubao scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said happily: "Xi'er, your luck is really not bad, look at this, yesterday you said you would go to Chaxiangxuan to ask for an advance payment, so the shopkeeper Ren Yan took the initiative It’s delivered to your door, darling, 50 taels, we have a shop, painting, purchases, etc., everything!”

Jin Xi nodded, that's right, she never dreamed that shopkeeper Yan would send money here at this time, she still thought it was just a dream!Thinking of this, she suddenly left Liang Yuzhong and Sun Yubao behind, and ran towards the village.

"Hey, Xi'er, where are you going when you run like this?" Sun Yubao shouted from behind.

"I'm going to Erhu's uncle, I want to tell him the good news quickly, so that he doesn't have to go to the county to sell horses..." Jin Xi's cheerful voice came back, and the man had already run away without a trace.

"This girl, really!" Liang Yuzhong smiled and shook his head, talking and laughing with Sun Yubao all the way home.

............................................................

Being able to rely on her own ability to open the shop without Sun Erhu selling horses, Jin Xi was filled with joy.Thinking about the opening of the shop, thinking about the future management, thinking about relying on her own efforts to make her life better and better, Jin Xi's steps became bigger and bigger, faster and faster, and she ran outside Sun Erhu's yard in one breath, eh, strange , What kind of courtyard door does his house close in broad daylight?

Jinxi was at the breaking point of joy at this moment, she just wanted to share the good news with Sun Erhu quickly, and without thinking about it, she went to knock on the courtyard door, still shouting excitedly: "Uncle Erhu, Uncle Erhu ..."

Unexpectedly, after she yelled once or twice, the door slammed open without warning. Jin Xi, who was knocking on the door, leaned forward with her upper body and fell into the door.

The yard of Sun Erhu's house is solid land. Some time ago, Sun Erhu had a whim, picked broken stones from the mountain and laid them behind the gate of the courtyard, saying that he learned how people in the city made threshold stones.

It would be a bad taste to fall on that threshold stone, Jin Xi moaned in her heart until she fell into a warm and firm embrace.

The faint fragrance mixed with sunlight and vegetation lingers in the nostrils, and a strong and powerful sound like a drum beating can be heard in the ears.Jin Xi raised her eyes, and what caught her eyes was a piece of black ink, which was a fine black robe dyed with ink.Looking up, what she saw was the collar of the outer robe twisted with gold thread, and inside, there were layers of snow-white obscene clothes and the collar of the middle coat, which were not stained with a speck of dust.

Slender wheat-colored neck, prominent Adam's apple with masculine features, and above that, a clear face with clear lines and handsome facial features. In the narrow and long phoenix eyes, the brown eyes seem to absorb the coldest brilliance in the world.

But when he saw the person who fell into his arms, the coldness in the brown eyes faded away, and a touch of surprise appeared, which was immediately hidden.

Jin Xi stared blankly at this handsome face so close, she was in a daze for a moment, until Sun Erhu's voice sounded from the side, and she realized that more than half of her body was hanging on this person in front of her.Her arms instinctively hugged his waist, and her face was pressed against his chest.But his hand just happened to be on her back, Jin Xi found the reason why she didn't fall down, it was because of this person in front of her that caught her.

And this person is none other than Wending, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

"Xi'er, are you alright?" Sun Erhu's voice rang in his ears again, and Wen Ding and Jin Xi, almost at the same time, let go of each other like an electric shock.

Wen Ding backed away a few steps, put his hands behind his back, his face was normal, but his cheeks were a little hot, and he stood on one side softly staring at Jin Xi, who was a bit rash in front of him.

And Jin Xi also quietly took a deep breath, a little annoyed by her reckless behavior.Forcibly steadying his heartbeat, he quickly returned to normal, and met with Sun Erhu and Wending one by one.

The corners of Wen Ding's mouth tilted into a smile, looking at Jin Xi, Sun Erhu had already asked, "Xi'er, you came here so fast, is there something urgent?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Jin Xi's mouth couldn't help but curl up, because she was happy, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were also curved, she glanced at Wending, and said to Sun Erhu: "Uncle Erhu, I'm here to tell you that tea fragrance Shopkeeper Yan of Xuan just sent us the advance payment for winter tea, which is a full 50 taels, so we don’t have to go to the county town to sell horses now!”
