Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 227

Anping Tea Shop was his half-life effort, if he really wanted to let go, he would really be reluctant to part with it.But seeing that the owner had already let go, and many shops with the signboard of Anping Tea Co., Ltd. began to remove the signboards and change their appearance, he felt even more heartbroken.

Now he came to the door only when he was desperate. In fact, he also had no foundation in his heart. After all, Zhang Ji is no longer the same now.Not only is it hard to find tea in the teahouse shop, but people have even opened up business in the capital early, and even shops with noble backing behind them will ask for it.Therefore, he really wasn't sure that Lin Baozhu would take Anping Tea House's business seriously.

Only when Lin Baozhu was in front of him did shopkeeper Xu regain his composure.Seeing Madam's demeanor and posture, he really didn't dare to be casual. After all, it was something to ask for and it was difficult to talk about. He couldn't talk about business like before.

This was the first time he came to Zhang Ji's house since Zhang Ji became a guardian of the country. Seeing that the spacious yard was tidied up and guarded on both sides, shopkeeper Xu was already muttering in his heart.Before reaching the threshold, seeing the dark red carpet with large flowers in the room, I was even more afraid to step in.

Seeing this, Lin Baozhu repeatedly asked Chunxi, who was waiting and joking, to open the curtain to welcome shopkeeper Xu into the door.One must not forget one's roots, the folks in Taoshuwan have so much affection for them, so she is willing to take care of everyone in the village.Shopkeeper Xu, on the other hand, has the kindness to promote Zhang Ji, and also has the kindness to save the lives of herself and her own men, which she will never deny.

Seeing shopkeeper Xu enter the room anxiously, Lin Baozhu called Dongmei to move a chair for people to sit down, and then asked Xiangming to serve excellent tea.Naturally, she still has the health-preserving red date tea on hand.

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, she often suffers from anemia, and she always felt dizzy and dark in the past few days. After seeing the doctor, she said that she had a little blood loss.It's just that now she doesn't want to drink those bitter tonics, but likes tonics. She doesn't discuss this with the doctor, and feeds it with red dates every day.

Shopkeeper Xu felt slightly relieved when he saw that Lin Baozhu didn't show any anger, nor did he look down on her at all.Seeing her gentle attitude and not being overbearing or unattainable in her words, he was really relieved, and the hesitation in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Long time no see, I wonder how the shopkeeper is doing?" Seeing shopkeeper Xu's cautious appearance, not even daring to move his feet too much, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but secretly sighed that something was different after all.But she doesn't force some things, she just keeps them in mind.

"If you go back to Madam, everything is fine." Shopkeeper Xu paused, and then said again, "It's not been a day or two since I have dealt with Madam, and I know Madam is kind. Son, I came here to ask my wife for a favor."

Lin Baozhu raised her eyebrows, but seeing the melancholy in Shopkeeper Xu's eyebrows, she didn't say anything, and asked people to talk about it first.

"Last year, I mentioned to my wife that the owner of Anping Tea Shop wanted to change hands." Shopkeeper Xu sighed and said tentatively, "The business of the tea shop has plummeted and the owner has abandoned it, so I want to ask I asked my wife if she was interested in continuing. Among other things, the foundation of Anping Tea House is still there, as long as it takes a little rest, it will be able to flourish again."

It was indeed difficult to speak at the beginning, but when he really spoke, he didn't hear his wife stop him, so he really let go, and the speech became more and more smooth.

In fact, if shopkeeper Xu didn't mention it, Lin Baozhu would really have forgotten about that.It is true that she is too busy now, from the village to the capital, and back to the capital all the way, as well as the river beach in the village and those newly developed things, because she missed a lot, so now she is willing to try it whenever she has time. Try it out.Even if you can't think of a way out, you can remind the left and right, maybe it will be figured out by Zhang Ji's enthusiastic "researchers".

No, a few days ago, there were a few dogs left, who were working on grafting colorful peppers.The reason was just casually mentioned by Lin Baozhu. In the previous life, many side dishes had beautiful colorful peppers. He didn't expect anything at first, but Gou Sheng heard it and took it to heart.

Having said that, Anping Tea Shop is indeed older than Zhang Ji's shop.Moreover, there are shops in towns and counties. Although the business is a bit lonely, it has to be admitted that it is not too difficult to regain it.

More importantly, as Zhang Ji's business is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Ji's tea is becoming less and less enough for merchants from all over the world to come to buy and order.If it is really possible to take over the Anping Tea Shop, it may be a good thing.

He is a person who knows the basics, and Zhang Ji is not short of money at all now.So next, the shopkeeper Xu was the recommender, so that the original owner of Anping Tea Shop and Zhang Ji's current external director Shi Dayong negotiated the business, and it didn't take much effort.On the second day, the two families took inventory of the shops and objects, discounted the current price, and handed over all the shops in Anping Tea House, including the tea workers and shopkeepers, to Zhang Ji at the price of a thousand taels of silver.

Now that Lin Baozhu's body is getting heavy, not to mention she doesn't want to jolt around, even Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang who are close to her keep her from running.And Nanny Liu, who was sent from Prince Rui's mansion, took Madam seriously, fearing that she would be right, so she said she would go to the county seat to sign the contract.

With such an incident, Zhang Ji's business can be said to have reached a new level.After all, Zhang Ji has a source of tea, and the Zhang Ji Anping Tea Shop with Zhang Ji's signboard has a well-connected way.In addition, Lin Baozhu asked the tea shop to give half of the profits to the old merchants, so in just half a month, the Anping Tea Shop, which had been dead for many days, became prosperous again.

But shopkeeper Xu is still the big shopkeeper of Anping Tea Shop, so Lin Baozhu only transferred a bookkeeper and assistant in the village from Taoshuwan.For the rest, not much has changed.

In April, Lin Baozhu's stomach began to bulge like a ball.As for Da Ya, besides going to the private school every day, she just helps Lin Baozhu check and manage the accounts, and spends most of the rest of her time by her mother's side, talking to her younger siblings in her womb.

Lin Baozhu never gave birth to any heirs, but in her previous life, she saw her senior sister conceived and had children after getting married. It is said that early education is very meaningful.And now the family also has the conditions, so she also asked people to collect some children's enlightenment books, plus some short stories written by herself, so that the big girl can learn to interact with the baby in her stomach.

Don't say it's a big girl, even Zhaodi comes here every day now, from the Three Character Classic to the hundred surnames, it's always a joy to talk about.The two of them are unmarried children, and they have never seen the miraculous changes in the pregnancy of the people around them, and Lin Baozhu just satisfies the curiosity of the two of them.

In late April, news finally came from Mobei.Along with the good news, what was sent all the way to the capital, besides His Royal Highness Prince Rui's Greeting Note to the Emperor, was also a thick stack of family letters from First Class General Zhang Mandun, Lord Protector.

Seeing the battle report of Mobei's great victory, I was very happy.After more than half a year of fighting, they finally saw results.And look at what Prince Rui said between the lines, he respects and admires him as his father, how could the emperor be unhappy?
Compared with Prince Rui's filial piety that still never forgets to say hello when he is fighting outside, the old five and the six who are busy in courtiers fighting with each other in the capital are even more disliked by him.However, the date of Prince Rui's return is uncertain at the moment, and the court really needs two people to act as a shield, so as to prevent someone from playing tricks and disturbing the foundation of the Eastern Palace.

After looking at Zhang Mantun's family letter that came with the good news, the emperor was covered with black lines. Then he rubbed his throbbing head and waved for Zhang Laixun to send him to Taoshuwan.No matter how you look at it, the words that those parents murmured should not have been uttered by such a black-faced and angry man as Duke Hu Neng, but the fact is so, which really made the emperor feel very helpless.

Originally, he thought that such a person would be easier to control, but since he made Prince Rui the crown prince, he was really full of plans for his own son.The prince is kind and generous, and has never been involved in party disputes. Right now, he is making friends with Zhang Mandun, the trusted protector of the country. Compared with the general Fuguo who holds the security of the capital, his foundation is still too shallow.So when the prince invited him to Mobei, he made an exception and ordered Zhang Mandun to go with him.

Firstly, he wanted to promote Zhang Mandun so that he could become the prince's right-hand man.The second is to restrain other generals, so that Zhang Mantun can become the prince's power.

Anyway, after all, those are things for later.Now that he knew that the Great Zhou was victorious and that the rebels had been chased to the north of Mobei and were still fleeing, how could he care about whether Zhang Mandun came here with the battle report or not?

"Zhang Lai, I'm drinking Zhang Ji's white cockscomb today. Didn't Chenyue give me some when she entered the palace last time? Today I will taste how good the tea is, and it has been praised by so many people." Ever since the army set out, the emperor had never been as happy as he is today.It just so happened that at that time, Zhang Mandun, the protector of the country, mentioned Zhang Ji's business. When he saw the cold tea in hand, he naturally gave orders in a good mood.

It was a joyful mood, plus the white cockscombs that Zhang Ji sent to the Princess Mansion were made by Lin Baozhu himself, so the taste was naturally not comparable to that made by ordinary tea masters.Furthermore, the white rooster comb has the effect of cleansing the whole body's breath. Now that the emperor is in a good mood, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.

"The color of the tea soup is clear, the aroma is mild, and the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks. It is really a good tea."

So, the emperor only drank half a cup, and praised repeatedly.In the end, he personally decided to add Zhang Kee white cockscomb to the tribute tea in the future.

If the emperor only talked about the white cockscomb, it would be fine, but he added a sentence of Zhang Ji.In this way, there is no need to make a choice at all. In the future, the white cockscomb of tribute tea can only be provided by Zhang Ji's family.
