Wang's little lady

Jiang Huaizhi came from an extraordinary background and had heard countless flattering words since he was a child. He laughed at Hongdou's words and naturally he would not take them seriously.

But he was really curious about what this girl was talking about when she came to see him today?
  The girl from the Xie family was also surprised that although she knew his identity, she never came to cling to him after that.

If it were the people he met in the past, even if they were related to each other, they would take the opportunity to come over to ask for benefits, or they might want to be protected by his family.

He and the Xie family are now partners, and it seems that the Xie family doesn't flatter him enthusiastically. This feels quite novel.

Therefore, Xie Hongdou took the initiative to come to the door today. He was really curious about the other party's purpose:

"Since I am so in awe of you, why didn't I see you bowing down to me when I came in?"

Jiang Huaizhi deliberately joked with a stern face, wanting to see Hongdou look frightened, but unfortunately he could not do so.

Hongdou has a good eye for people, but Mr. Jiang doesn't seem like someone who likes to find a sense of presence from ordinary people.

And although his face was sullen, his eyes were not.

"My lord, you are joking. I have long since admired you in my heart and have kowtowed to you countless times."

"You love the people like your own children. This is not the time when you are handling a case. If we give you a big courtesy casually, outsiders will know that it doesn't mean you are arrogant."

Hongdou said with a smile, and then handed over the valuable cakes he bought at a high price:

"This is the dim sum we specially lined up to buy when we came here. I heard that this dim sum is very famous in the county? There is a daily limit, so you may not be able to buy it even if you queue up."

"We've never eaten it before. Try it and see if it's really that delicious."

Meng San and Xiaoya couldn't help but look at each other. Sister Xie (Hongdou) could really borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

This snack was not specially bought for the magistrate at all.

But having said it all, they definitely can't tear her down. But he was afraid that Master Jiang would see something in his expression, so he could only lower his head to cover it up in a tacit understanding.

Jiang Huaizhi was also heartbroken before he said, "This girl from the Xie family must have ten words waiting for him."

He has a really strong mouth, but he does know this dim sum restaurant.

Nowadays, it is quite famous in the county. If you want to eat, you have to wait in line, especially its signature dim sum. Otherwise, you may not be able to buy it after you go there.

"Then Jiang, thank you girl for your kindness. This snack is indeed very popular in the county. I still want people to buy it today."

"Unexpectedly, Miss Xie sent it directly."

Master Jiang asked the boy beside him to put the snacks on plates, and then shared some among Hongdou and the other three.

Tasting the taste of the dim sum, Hongdou finally felt that it was not such a loss to spend twice as much money to buy it. It tastes really good.

Meng San and Xiaoya ate several pieces in succession.

Jiang Huaizhi saw several people concentrating on eating snacks, as if they really just came to visit him this time and had nothing else to do?

It really confused him.

"Thank you, Miss, for coming this time. Is there something wrong?" Jiang Huaizhi asked when he saw that the three of them had almost eaten, and asked for a few more bowls of tea.

Hongdou smiled and said: "I have long wanted to visit Mr. Jiang. It just so happens that the tea matter has also come to light. I also wanted to ask if you have any other instructions in the future?"

"After all, we are partners and we often communicate with each other."

Even though they were here, they still had to find something to talk about so as not to be too abrupt. Hongdou then started talking about tea. The two of them talked about this topic:

"By the way, have you received your share of the revenue that Second Young Master Zhao brought back? If you feel there is any discrepancy, you must tell me in time."

"I keep accounts there, and I can check every entry."

But there is definitely nothing wrong. Who has the guts to deliberately withhold the county magistrate’s money? Isn’t this a way to get slapped on your doorstep?

Jiang Huaizhi's eyes were slightly surprised. This girl from the Xie family really came to him today to chat about personal matters. Didn't she come to ask for help?
  Really fresh. "I naturally trust Miss Xie's character, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to cooperate in the first place. The profit from the first batch of tea is considerable, and we can continue as usual."

"By the way, girl, you have to hurry up now. I promised you to mobilize the villagers in the towns near Shimen Town to pick fresh leaves. I am already ready."

"I'll have someone give the order in a moment. If I give the order, this business will not only concern you and the Zhao family."

"It gradually involves the food and drink of half of the people of Fengdu County, and also involves my future political achievements. Miss, do you understand?"

Seeing that Mr. Jiang even called me out, Hongdou also became serious. The tea industry has huge profits, so she will naturally not let down her guard.

"Don't worry, I already have a lot of prepared tea stored in the store. There will be more before the weather gets cold. It will definitely not delay things."

It was getting late now, today's main goal had been achieved, and they had to rush back to the town.

Today at Zhuangzi, Xie Yi is the only one making tea, which has delayed another day. He will have to make up for it tomorrow:
  "Master Jiang, since you have no other instructions, let's take our leave first so that we can go back and make preparations to collect the tea."

Lord Jiang secretly thought to himself that he really was leaving without making any other requests. He really just came to visit.

The more Hongdou behaved like this, the more Jiang Huaizhi felt it was unreasonable.

After Jiang Huaizhi asked his servants to send them out, Jiang Huaizhi, who really felt itchy in his heart, couldn't help it and ordered his personal servant to find out what Xie Hongdou and the others did when they came to the county today.

"Find out as soon as possible and report back."

"Yes, my lord."

After Hongdou walked out of the county government office and walked slowly towards the outside of the city, Meng San couldn't help but ask:
  "Thank you, sister, do you think Master Jiang will go find out what we are here for today?"

Xiaoya also looked at Hongdou with a gossipy face, she also wanted to know.

Hongdou thought for a while and said not completely sure: "If Mr. Jiang wants to satisfy his curiosity, maybe."

"But it's okay not to check. Anyway, our trip can shock the Luo family, so it's not a loss."

Meng Sanyi thought it was true. If the Luo family secretly wants to confirm whether the Xie family really has contacts with Master Jiang, today's trip is enough.

"We have been out long enough today. Let's buy some gifts and then go home. Tomorrow we will just wait for the good news from the Luo family."

Meng San: "Listen to my sister."

Xiaoya: "..." Okay.

In the evening, the county government.

Jiang Huaizhi: "It's clear."

Boy: "Sir, we have found out. Miss Xie came to the county today to find a family named Luo. The two families had a grudge in Shimen Town a few days ago."

The boy paused and said accurately: "It should be the grudge between the Luo family girl and the Xie family."

Jiang Huaizhi: "Oh?"

Jiang Huaizhi made a connection between the two and immediately guessed why Xie Hongdou came to visit suddenly, without mentioning anything else.

It turned out that I wanted to take advantage of the situation.

He said, it's not a New Year or a holiday, how could this girl from the Xie family have such leisure to visit him alone?

This way, you don't need to openly owe him a favor, but you can also threaten the Luo family.

The Xie girl has a pretty good mind.

"What's the specific complaint? Let me tell you."
