Wang's little lady

Chapter 4 What a good man
Mrs. Zhang had the foresight to move into the house, move chairs and a small table under the eaves, and invite Jiang Huaizhi to take a seat.

Xie Hongdou also took advantage of the situation and sat down on the other side. His body was really weak and he was afraid of leaving the root of the disease if he didn't take good care of it.

Brother Tuan who was accompanying him took a few curious glances until he ran into Jiang Huaizhi's eyes.

"Little guy, what's your name?"

With Xie Hongdou's nod of agreement, Brother Tuan happily ran over and started chatting with Jiang Huaizhi.

"Sir, my name is Xie Chang'an, nicknamed Tuan Ge. What is your name?"

Tuan Ge'er is a small person, but he doesn't show any timidity at all. His generous replies and sweet voice make people quite fond of him.

"Long-term happiness and peace for the rest of your life. What a good name. Your family must like you very much to give you this name."

"My surname is Jiang, you can call me Brother Jiang."

Jiang Huaizhi smiled and talked to Brother Tuan. In the past, he always felt that children were naughty and annoying.

But if the children are as well-behaved as Tuan Geer, they really won’t be annoying.

"Brother Jiang, hehe. I also like my name very much, and my sister's name is also very nice."

Brother Tuan likes the big brother in front of him very much. He feels very kind and has the same feeling as his sister.

"Ahem, okay, Brother Tuan, don't disturb Young Master Jiang from resting, come and sit down."

Seeing that her brother was about to tell others her name, Anko quickly interrupted.

In this era, if a woman casually tells her name to her husband, he will be gossiped about.

Especially what happened just now was enough to make her family stand out.

Although the surrounding neighbors have almost dispersed, there are still some looking over here.

At this time, Grandma Xie had boiled the tea and brought it out together with Mrs. Zhang.

"Come, come, sir, please have some tea."

"Our family is small and we can't afford good tea on weekdays. This is what we have saved from the past. You will drink some to quench your thirst."

Mrs. Xie scooped out the first bowl of the best tea and handed it to Jiang Huaizhi, her face full of gratitude to Jiang Huaizhi.

In order to prevent the guests from feeling uncomfortable, they would ask questions and chat from time to time.

This young man looks really open and bright. His demeanor alone is as good as that of his family, and I don’t know which family he is from.

"Thank you, old lady, ma'am."

Jiang Huaizhi took the tea politely, took a sip and put it down.

He usually doesn't like tea with this kind of taste. It tastes just like soup, and it has a really complicated taste.

However, wealthy families like to make tea to entertain guests as a sign of respect.

The Jiang family didn't look rich, so if they could entertain him with such sincerity, he wouldn't be picky.

Not only him, Xie Hongdou also had disgust in his eyes when he saw the tea in front of him.

This isn't tea at all, it's simply seasoned water. I can't even praise it just by smelling it.

She also saw Jiang Huaizhi's displeasure with the tea, so she handed him the water on the table.

She was not well yet, so Zhang prepared water for her.

It seems that the level of tea craftsmanship at this time is still in the sencha period of the previous life, or even further forward.

Now that the head of the Xie family has passed away, only the old, weak, women and children are left in the family. How to make a living in the future is their top priority.

Maybe she can start in this direction?

After all, people have been inseparable from eating and drinking since ancient times.

"Young Master Jiang is not used to drinking tea, right?"

Xie Hongdou asked thoughtfully and refilled the water he had finished drinking.

Grandma Xie was a little nervous after hearing this. There must be something wrong.

"I'm really sorry. We didn't want to drink this tea at home, so we kept it. Maybe it's broken. I'll get you some sugar water."

After saying thank you to grandma, she got up and walked to the kitchen so fast that Jiang Huaizhi didn't even have time to stop her.

He could only smile and shake his head: "Mrs. Xie is too polite. It really doesn't need to be like this."

"Young Master Jiang, you don't have to be polite. It's up to us to entertain you properly."

"It's just that it's really inconvenient for my family these days. I'm sorry." Xie Hongdou, as the host, politely entertained Jiang Huaizhi.

"To tell you the truth, I can't get used to this tea either. The taste... is too rich."

"I accidentally saw a recipe for making tea in a picture book before. It's different from what we usually drink."

"I'll make it later and give it to the young master to try. You might like it."

If she really made it, she would have to find a way to sell it.

This Mr. Jiang looks good at first sight. If the tea he makes suits his taste, there might be another good market for it.

"In this case, Jiang will be waiting, haha."

Jiang Huaizhi didn't take it seriously.

If there really was a different recipe and it tasted good, the person below would have offered it long ago, but he wouldn't directly embarrass anyone.

This girl from the Xie family is calm and calm when things happen, and she handles things in a reasonable and well-founded manner without showing panic, which is rare;
She doesn't look like a girl raised in a small family.

Hongdou noticed that the other party didn't believe it, but she didn't take it to heart.

Now she is just a commoner in feudal society, what good things can she bring out?It’s normal for the other party not to believe it.

As long as something is made and others are willing to try it, it can be considered a small success.

Wait until she feels better to deal with this matter.

At the moment, the most important thing is to wait for the money to be settled and settle down the family.

In the memory of the original owner, Brother Tuan was originally going to enter the school this year, but something happened and he was delayed.

Studying is a big deal at any time, especially in this era when everything is inferior and only studying is good, this matter cannot be left behind.

Hongdou didn't panic, he just took care of things one by one.

*******
The town was only half an hour away from Mrs. Zhang's village. After Jiang Huaizhi's boy took the money, he took an ox cart back, which was faster.

"Sir, I got the silver back."

The boy took out the silver, placed it on the table, bowed and retreated behind Jiang Huaizhi.

"Thank you, miss. Keep the money. I've almost rested, so I'll take my leave."

Jiang Huaizhi pushed the silver in front of Xie Hongdou's eyes, stood up and handed over his hands to leave.

They rode horses while it was still early and could reach the county before dark.

Although the Xie family was happy, no one went to collect the cash immediately.
Xie Hongdou directly took out a piece of broken silver and stood up with Jiang Huaizhi:
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your generous action today. This is your pen and ink and the writing fee."

"The little girl can see that Mr. Yin doesn't care about this, but I, the Xie family, keep my word, so please don't refuse."

The fingers holding the silver in front of her eyes were slender and slender, as if they were condensed fat, and she looked like a pampered and raised girl.

Jiang Huaizhi took the silver from her palm in a good mood and waved it up:

"I will stay in the county for a long time. If the girl's tea can be made well, I can have it delivered to the county government office."

After saying that, he quickly left, but with his back turned to Xie's mouth, he couldn't help but raise it.

County government?Could it be that he was on a business trip?

Anko couldn't help but think about it.

It wasn't until Jiang Huaizhi's back disappeared into the alley that the Xie family turned around and closed the door, completely cutting off the gossip outside.

Grandma Xie was the first to take the silver in her hand, counting it over and over, and even took a bite.

After confirming that it was correct, he carefully took it into his arms and said happily:
"We really got our money back. Mr. Jiang is really a good man."

But now that the son is gone, the family has no source of income, the grandson is still young, and the granddaughter has been disowned.

I'm afraid the lives of their mothers will be difficult in the future, and they will have to save some money.

"Hongdou, please go into the room and lie down. Your body is not fully healed yet, so don't fall down again."

"Mom, go make dinner. We will eat early today. Remember to steam an egg for the red beans and make up for it."

"Brother Tuan, go and guard your sister. If anything happens, call someone loudly."

After Xie Grandma finished speaking, she ran into the room to hide the money.
