Chapter 167

The two stood in the inner courtyard, next to a ginkgo tree, the leaves shimmered with a faint golden light in the sun, the autumn wind blew gently, a ginkgo leaf fell quietly, floated in the air, and leisurely, gently fell on the village. Nobuhiko's shoulder.

Realizing that he had shot too hard, Zhuang Xinyan hurriedly took out a small notebook from his body and wrote, "I'm sorry."

Seeing those three words, Qin Tian was embarrassed. After a while, he smiled and said, "Why do you say sorry? I should be the one saying thank you. If you didn't support me in time, I would definitely fall."

"Are you OK."

"I'm fine." Qin Tian chuckled and shook his head, turned around and pushed the 'door' into the house. Zhuang Xinyan followed her in.

When the two of them entered the house, Zhuang Mingxi walked out from behind a big red pillar at the corner. She looked at the red lacquer 'flower' and 'door' of their house, her eyes kept flashing, and her heart was full of doubts and confusion.

An apology, a thank you, the two of them looked close in front of them, but they were so unfamiliar in the back, it was really strange!

Zhuang Mingxi shook his head, unable to understand. She 'wanted' to leave here and go to the front hall. Just two steps out, she suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at Qin Tian's house with wide eyes, thinking of the scene six months ago in her mind.

It was in the 'flower' garden at home. When she met two people, she felt very strange at that time. They were obviously two people in the same tent. Such a difference is too incomprehensible. It's just that she didn't think about it at the time. Now combined with what just saw, a thought suddenly formed in mind...

She suppressed the surprise in her heart and tried her best to calm her emotions.

She covered her 'chest' and thought to herself: If things are as she expected, if everything is true, as long as she can expose all this, Qin Tian is no longer qualified to stay in the tea shop! She can't be impatient, she still needs to observe carefully, she must confirm this matter!

As long as Qin Tian is fixed, no matter whether her brother can become the head of the family or not, she can take the opportunity to ask for help in the tea shop when the aunt needs help and gain some rights. As long as she is given this opportunity, she can definitely get to the position she wants step by step!

She smiled slightly, turned and walked into the hall.

"Fourth Miss."

There was an endless stream of people coming and going in the hall. The guy didn't forget to say hello to her despite his busy schedule.

"You guys are busy, don't worry about me. I'll just take a look next to me." Zhuang Mingxi 'showed' the most kind smile to the guys.

She was born with a good appearance, and now it is easy to get everyone's goodwill under her deliberate disguise. The guys all cast kind smiles at her.

"Uncle Niu, is your 'daughter' better?" Zhuang Mingxi walked up to a man in his forties wearing a robe, who was the manager of the hall.

When Niu Guanshi saw her coming, he piled up a smile: "Thanks to the 'medicine' ointment sent by the fourth lady, I'm much better now. Thank you fourth lady!" He bowed to Zhuang Mingxi.

Zhuang Mingxi hurriedly avoided: "Uncle Niu is not like this. Uncle Niu has been in the house for so many years. Speaking of which, he is like my elder, but it's just a bottle of 'medicine' cream. How can Mingxi be a big gift from Uncle Niu? Niu? Uncle Zhe killed Mingxi!"

Guanshi Niu was very moved to see her sincerity.

"Steward Niu, you greeted that guest for a long time just now, isn't he a troublesome guest?" Zhuang Mingxi asked indifferently.

Guanshi Niu smiled, because it was not a very important matter, and he was very fond of this 'woman', so he told Zhuang Mingxi about the process of entertaining the guests just now. He just thought it was a little girl who was curious, deliberately chose interesting things to say, and mentioned the business he had done before. Zhuang Mingxi seemed to be very happy to hear it, smiling from time to time, and kept asking questions , which made Niu Guanshi talk more and more. She picked useful ones and secretly wrote them down.

Qin Tian was able to call out the names of every guest and every man. So she 'spent' countless hours and efforts to write down the names of all the staff and merchants in the tea shop. Qin Tian knew about the affairs of the tea shop, so she tried her best to observe and inquire.

What a maid of hers can do, there's no reason why she can't do it as a young lady.

Qiu Lanyin watched this scene from the side, and after returning to the inner courtyard, she told Qin Tian what she had just seen.

"I also saw that Fourth Miss greeted the guests while the guys were busy, and she seemed to have made a deal," Qiu Lan said.

After hearing this, Qin Tian waved Qiulan down, turned around and said to Zhuang Xinyan, "What do you think this fourth young lady is planning on? She is going to get married in another year, but she still asked her to stay in the tea shop. Is she not afraid to show her face like this and damage her reputation?"

In mind, remembered the scene of Zhuang Mingxi kneeling in front of the eldest wife and begging with tears in her eyes.

Before, she asked Qiulan to stare at her secretly, and when she found out what she had done in secret, she would report it back to the eldest wife, and wanted the eldest lady to order her to forbid her from coming to the tea shop. There is a ready-made reason, she is already engaged, and it is not appropriate to show her face.

Unexpectedly, after Zhuang Mingxi got the news, he ran to the eldest wife, knelt in front of her and kowtowed, crying: "Mingxi knows that she cannot trust the aunt, but Mingxi has no bad intentions. Mingxi will be married soon. Another is the famous Xie family. I believe that the aunt also knows that the Xie family wanted to break off the marriage. Mingxi just wants to learn more business knowledge before marrying, so as to be able to please her husband in the future and stabilize her position in the Xie family Aunt, Mingxi knows that you are a bodhisattva, so you should take pity on Mingxi, and let Mingxi have more capital so that she can gain a foothold in the Xie family. Mingxi will never forget her kindness."

The eldest wife has been resting at home with peace of mind since she retired, but her eyes still did not improve, so she turned to the gods for help, and she drank 'medicine' every day for conditioning and ate fast and recited Buddha. She was not a ruthless person at first, but now seeing Zhuang Ming begging bitterly, and seeing that what she asked for was not excessive, she did not refuse, but said, "But you, a 'daughter', go to the tea shop every day to throw it away. If you show your face, you are not afraid that the Xie family will be unhappy when they find out?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, Mingxi once met Mr. Xie in the tea shop. I also talked to him about it. Mr. Xie also agreed with my approach and encouraged me." Zhuang Ming said happily.

When the eldest lady saw what she said, she allowed her. He turned his head and said to Qin Tian, ​​"I know that you are worried that the second room will not give up, and that they will cause trouble again. You can go and tell the shopkeeper and the stewards not to 'disclose' the secrets of the tea shop to her. She will do the rest. If you want to see or learn, just let her go. Now you have a solid position in the tea shop, and they can't make any trouble." After speaking, the eldest lady sighed: "After all, it is the blood of the master, and so am I. Watching Mingxi grow up, my mother-in-law didn't do my best to deal with her. It would be a good thing if she could live better at Xie's because of this."

So, Zhuang Mingxi, who got permission from the eldest wife, stayed in the tea shop almost every day. Qin Tian was amazed at her desire for knowledge. Although she had already 'accounted' to all the stewards, she was still a little unsteady, so she ordered Qiulan to watch her secretly and report in time if there was any situation.

But apart from her strong 'desire' for knowledge, the rest are still honest, she didn't cause trouble, she was very self-aware, and she didn't 'intervene' in the internal affairs of the tea shop. And it was well liked by a lot of people.

"Mingxi has been very smart since she was a child." Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the paper, "At the age of three, he could recite the Three Character Classic, and at the age of ten he could write and write poems. When his father was alive, he loved her very much. He also said that if Mingxi was a man, The child is just fine. He can train her to become the head of the prosperous world, but it is a pity that the 'girl' child always has to be married."

Qin Tian sighed on the side, it's really good genetics, Master Zhuang must be a smart man to make such a big fortune, and most of his children are excellent. It's Zhuang Minglan, although her 'sex' is a little weaker, but her head is also very flexible, and now she is doing a good job helping Fang Yanxing's housekeeper.

"Let's take a look first, just handle it carefully. She's going to get married soon, so there shouldn't be any trouble." Zhuang Xinyan wrote again.

Except for a few people in the second room, no one would have thought that Zhuang Mingxi would disagree with this 'door' marriage. After all, in the eyes of everyone, the fourth young lady of the concubine 'daughter' was able to marry the future head of the Xie family. It's too late to hold fast, how can there be any reason to refuse?

Qin Tian thought about it too, and didn't worry too much about it anymore. Seeing that Zhuang Xinyan had rested and felt better, he went with him to the side hall, where Nicholas Tse was still waiting for them.

After seeing Nicholas Tse, after the two parties met, Nicholas Tse smiled and said, "This time I came here to invite the two of you to the humble house to listen to the play. My second uncle came from the north, and he specially 'specially' to do business with Mobei. , If the two of you want to know the situation of Mobei, it's best to ask him. It can be regarded as a small contribution after we join the Xie family."

After the autumn tea ordering meeting, Qin Tian and his eldest wife Zhuang Xinyan decided to agree to Nicholas Tse's entry. Not only because he did not want to establish such a strong opponent when Shengshi was about to develop, but more importantly, what Nicholas Tse said moved Qin Tian very much. He said that if Shengshi wanted to expand the tea business to Mobei, he would be right there. It is very familiar, and there are 'door' roads, which are of great benefit to Shengshi's business in the north.

For Nicholas Tse, Zhuang Xinyan was very defensive and did not want to have anything to do with him. After the eldest wife knew what was on her son's mind, she said to him, "What's in this world is yours, not yours. You can't guard against it. Besides, Qin Tian is now the head of the family, and he has to be in contact with so many things every day. How many people can you defend against? Qin Tian knows that, but she feels uncomfortable. "

After listening to his mother's persuasion, Zhuang Xinyan nodded.

But Qin Tian was still on guard against Nicholas Tse after all. It took seven days for the cooperation agreement to be finalized, and it was signed to him after it was confirmed to ensure that he would not be able to play tricks in the prosperous world when he became the son-in-law of the second room. Although the cooperation between Nicholas Tse and Shengshi was a bit 'selfish', he mainly valued Shengshi's strength and had no tricks, so he happily signed.

This made Qin Tian feel at ease.

Hearing that it was about Mobei's business, Qin Tian asked Zhuang Xinyan's opinion, and happily agreed to Nicholas Tse.

Here, Zhuang Mingxi greeted a guest when the man was too busy to come, and made a deal. Turning his head, he saw Nicholas Tse standing at the door of the hall aisle. She smiled slightly and walked over.

"Separate for three days, look at her with admiration. Now the fourth young lady seems to be doing business." Xie Tingjun looked at her and smiled.

"Mingxi is thanks to Mr. Xie for today." Saying that, Zhuang Mingxi looked around, and while no one was paying attention, he took out a small folded note from his waist and stuffed it into Nicholas Tse as quickly as possible. hands, then turned away.

Nicholas Tse got out of the tea shop and got on the carriage, opened the note suspiciously, and saw the words Juanxiu on it.

"Tonight at Xu, in the Green Water Pavilion, see you or leave."
