The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 40
"A Li, are you tired?" Chu Zhengyang put down the ledger in his hand, looked up at his daughter sitting opposite, his eyes were full of distress.

In order to avoid the Hu family's eyes and ears, he was already waiting outside the city gate early this morning. Normally at this time, he knew that Chu Qing was still sleeping.

Ming Liu put a thick cushion on the back for Chu Qing, making it more comfortable for her to lean on.She shook her head slightly and smiled lightly: "No problem. How can you be tired sitting in the carriage?"

"The carriage bumps all the way, daddy is afraid that you are weak and hard to resist." Chu Zhengyang showed worry.This was originally a matter for him as the head of the family, but now he let his daughter run around with him, and he felt ashamed.

Chu Qing smiled gently: "Father, I am not a weak person."

Seeing her like this, Chu Zhengyang didn't say any more, he just ordered Ming Liu Haosheng to take care of the young lady, and at the same time ordered Fusu, who was driving the carriage, to drive the carriage more gently.

In this carriage were Chu Qing's father and daughter and Ming Liu, and Fusu was driving, while the two accountants of the Chu family business were sitting in the carriage behind.Regarding the young lady traveling together this time, the two of them were puzzled. One of the more staid accountants, Yuan accountant, was very dissatisfied with this, and complained to his companion in the car: "The boss is really serious this time, and he still wants to bring the young lady along. Don't even look at this time." But it’s time to relax and go outing.”

It turned out that he thought that the reason why Chu Zhengyang took Chu Qing out was because he spoiled his daughter too much, so he took this opportunity to take her out to play.Therefore, he was dissatisfied.

Another thin, square accountant with a goatee twirled his beard with his fingers: "Why do we care so much about the boss's business? Just do our part."

The square-faced accountant Yuan snorted, looked through the swaying curtains to see the goods behind, and said puzzledly: "I don't know what's in those cars, they are mysterious."

These goods did not go out of the city with them, but waited outside the city gate, and then the two teams walked together.

"I heard that it's some goods that the boss sent people to collect." Fang's accountant obviously had more information than Yuan's accountant, so it seemed that this person was also more tactful than Yuan's accountant, and knew how to deal with people.

Here, the two accountants are guessing the origin of the goods, and in the previous carriage, the same topic is also happening, but the person who asked is Chu Zhengyang, and the person who is asked is Yuan. Miss Chu who came out of the accountant's mouth to play in the mountains and rivers.

"Ah Li, those grains..." Chu Zhengyang was also full of doubts at the moment.

The Hu family cut off the supply of tea farmers, so he had no choice but to go to the tea village in person to understand and move his emotions, hoping to receive tea from the tea farmers.However, before departure, Chu Qing took half of the payment from him and used it to buy a lot of food.Today, it is the harvest season of grain, and the people who sell grain at this moment are those whose families can't finish it, and the price is very cheap.The Chu family doesn't do grain business, so he doesn't understand what Chu Qing's hoarding of grain is for.

If it weren't for the trust in Chu Qing in his heart, he would definitely not do this.However, trust belongs to trust. Whenever he sees the grain collected from nearby towns, he still feels pain and his heart beats.

Half of the silver brought this time has been turned into grain. If the tea farmer agrees to sell tea, what should he exchange for it?
Hearing the worry in Chu Zhengyang's tone, Chu Qing smiled slightly: "Father, don't worry, Chu Qing will definitely let you return with a rewarding experience. Letting the Hu family eat chicken won't make you lose money."

Chu Zhengyang's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously, "Oh? Ah Li already has a plan in mind?" From the bottom of his heart, he was very much looking forward to this mysterious daughter bringing him another miracle.

Unfortunately, until now, Chu Qing refused to say anything.He just showed a mysterious smile to reassure Chu Zhengyang.Everything will be known when you arrive in the tea town.

Fusu was driving his horse outside, and heard the conversation between the father and daughter.Before leaving, Chu Qing's instructions to him surfaced again.

Before leaving, Chu Qing once told Ming Liu who was packing her luggage and him that those who stayed with her had to learn a lot.As for what to learn, she won't say, as much as she can understand, that's how much she can learn, that's how much she can learn.

Faintly, Fusu seemed to realize that there should be some plan in his young lady's heart, but, what was the plan, he thought about it but couldn't think of it.

Shaking his head, Fu Su smiled wryly, slandering in his heart: Following such a young lady, I'm afraid my head will not be idle in the future.

What plan does Chu Qing have in mind?In fact, it is nothing more than that after she gradually integrated into the ancient life, she has already understood some ways of survival in this world.

She is a person who goes with the flow and is not one with inflated ambitions.Naturally, she enjoys being able to live in peace and contentment. If someone bullies her and humiliates her, she also needs to protect herself, doesn't she?If you want to protect yourself, you need people around you.

The convoy traveled along the official road, and the road was uneventful. Two days later, they arrived at the tea town specified in the Hu family's contract.Before entering the village, I heard someone yelling for tea.

This sudden situation made Chu Zhengyang's heart skip a beat, and Chu Qing's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The tea is received! The tea is received! The Hu family, a big family in Anning, is here to collect the tea!"

Before the convoy entered the tea village called Yaoxi, they heard the sound of gongs and drums in the village.Many tea farmers put down their work and headed for the Changba in the center, not noticing the foreign convoy.

However, they didn't pay attention, the loud shout made Chu Zhengyang and Chu Qing, who came out of the carriage, quickly exchange colors, with the same voice in their hearts: The Hu family has come.

The arrival of the Hu family was beyond Chu Zhengyang's expectation, even Chu Qing did not expect it either.Because, after the Hu family cut off the supply of tea farmers, they all thought that the Hu family would wait for the results.Unexpectedly, the Hu family's mind was not simple, and they sent people here to collect tea.I'm afraid I'm thinking of taking away the tea, so I can do it once and for all.

In a flash, Chu Qing figured out the joints.When I looked at Chu Zhengyang again, seeing his clear eyes, I guessed that he probably already understood the whole story.

"A Li..." Chu Zhengyang frowned and looked at Chu Qing.At this moment, Fang Yuan's accountant in the second carriage also got out of the carriage and walked towards the owner side by side.

Chu Qing responded with Chu Zhengyang's reassuring smile, looking around, there were green tea trees all over the mountains and plains, and there were girls picking tea in the tea garden.In the land where the houses are stacked, many chimneys emit white smoke, and the faint fragrance of tea blends into the air.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Qing admired in her heart that this place is really a paradise.Deep in the mountains, old forests, traffic jams, far away from the hustle and bustle, everywhere is full of tea fragrance, everything is just like the news she told Fusu to inquire about.

"Master, Miss." No matter what they thought, on the surface, Fang Yuan and Yuan still saluted Chu Zhengyang and Chu Qing respectfully.

Chu Zhengyang nodded and didn't say much.Chu Qing, on the other hand, smiled and addressed the two of them in a sensible manner: "Uncle Fang, Uncle Yuan."
