"Master Sun, where is the tea we want?"
Gao Chun's words were so soft and casual that Liang Chuan acted as if he didn't hear them. When he heard it, Mr. Sun's ears felt like thunder. What he was most afraid of was these words, which made him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. Unable to move.
The Xu family is the one who is most afraid. What is Gao Chun doing? He is clearly trying to kill the Sun family!
Liang Chuan winked at the servant again, and the servant hurried to the gate and locked the door tightly!
The officials in Weiyuan Tower had just walked away when they heard Peng's voice. When they looked back, they saw that the door of the Sun family was closed, as if they were counting money behind closed doors, for fear of being discovered by others!
"What are these people doing?"
Sun family.
Sun Houpu looked at Liang Chuan and Gao Chun with a surprised look on his face. Xia Xue got a lot of benefits today, but why is it a bit unpleasant to see this scene, Cha Yin? What is it? Is it valuable? Why is my mother-in-law so afraid of this person from the yamen that she kneels down all of a sudden?
"Mom, get up quickly, what are you doing? Third brother, why is this?"
Liang Chuan didn't explain too much. Gao Chun was so pretentious, sipping the tea carefully without even looking at Mr. Sun.
The helpless old man Sun immediately turned his attention to his new beloved wife today. Xia Xue looked confused when he saw it. She couldn't understand which play this song was about!
Sun Houpu thought that since he got married to Xia Xue, he only told Xia Xue that his ancestors were tea sellers, but what he didn't mention was that they sold private tea!
In the Song Dynasty, the crime of smuggling tea was similar to that of smuggling salt. Since the Tang Dynasty, smuggling salt for more than one stone will result in death, and the same applies to tea.
The naive Xia Xue understood that her husband's family must be selling legal tea, otherwise she would marry a smuggler from a scholarly family. . Then his father must be angry to death.
Xia Song had sent people to inquire since the day he knew that Sun Houpu wanted to pursue his daughter. If he had known the details of Sun Houpu's family, he would have almost lost his temper. But how could he stop the two young people from getting together?
Xia Xue could only ask Gao Chun: "Master Gao, what is Cha Yin? Why are my father-in-law and mother-in-law so worried?"
Xia Xue spoke to Gao Chun. Gao Chun immediately changed his face, put down his feet, stood up, and stood in front of Xia Xue with fists clasped as if reporting work. He replied in a good voice: "Miss Xia, this is what she said Yes, a few days ago, the officers of the Yamen were inspecting the port. At night, they found a batch of tea with extremely suspicious origins. As usual, they stopped them for interrogation. Upon inspection, they found that this batch of tea did not have a tea hook. What is the so-called tea hook..."
Gao Chun glanced at Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan was noncommittal. Gao Chun continued speaking confidently: "The imperial court has laws. Tea is sold in six states and thirteen markets. Rent and taxes are paid in tea. The official quota is set and the advance is paid. The capital, the amount of tea and the extra remaining tea are all purchased at the official price and are not allowed to be sold privately. The tea is the proof of this transaction. If there is no proof, the person selling it is privately... the tea!"
Private tea? smuggling? Xia Xue seemed to understand what he meant. His father-in-law, oh no, the Sun family is doing this kind of business! Xia Xue blushed. Could it be that the daughter of her dignified prime minister wanted to intercede on behalf of this private tea seller?
What is this? It's equivalent to someone from the government arresting someone and investigating him in front of his wife, and the father-in-law asked him to protect her? What is this? At this moment, Xia Xue seems to know the difficulties of her father. It would be great if she could find a well-matched person to get married. How could she have such an unruly mother-in-law, and where could she find such a lawless father-in-law!
Xia Xue looked at Sun Houpu. Sun Houpu was a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but there was no time to explain to him now!
Xia Xue felt that she had been deceived again, but when she looked at Liang Chuan, she was stunned by the way Liang Chuan was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Did this kid know everything from beginning to end? Is it possible? . All of this was arranged by him!
Only then did Xia Xue realize what role she was now!
She is no longer the daughter of the Xia family, she has become a married woman, she is now Sun Houpu's wife, she should consider Sun Houpu even more!
If she wanted to plot against Mr. Sun, Liang Chuan could adopt a more radical approach. There was no need to embarrass the old man in front of her. The reason for doing this must be that Liang Chuan had a deeper intention? What's the intention? It must be for Sun Houpu and himself!
After thinking about this, Xia Xue felt relieved and the expression on her face immediately relaxed, and she said to Gao Chun: "Tea cannot be made without tea leaves. Master Gao, of course we will not make it difficult for you. You are the executor of the imperial law. Let's be clear." You are a good and law-abiding citizen, so you should naturally uphold the laws of the court!"
Gao Chun said softly with an embarrassed look on his face: "Miss, what do you mean..."
This low-key gesture of consulting Xia Xue's opinion is very humble, and it is completely different from treating Mr. Sun!
Of course, Xia Xue couldn't directly say that he was my father-in-law. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. She learned the lesson and said to Mr. Sun, "Dad, are you sure that batch of tea belongs to our family?"
Everyone onlookers, including Sun Houpu, were stunned and didn't react at all. Only Liang Chuan watched Xia Xue's performance quietly. Even Mr. Sun was confused. How did he know that this was a point giveaway? The question was still a proposition. As a veteran, he looked into Xia Xue's eyes, hoping that his daughter-in-law could give some hints!
Xia Xue didn't blink, and asked again in a more serious tone: "Are you sure that batch of tea belongs to our family?"
Gao Chun, who was standing aside, was slandering Mr. Sun. Isn't it obvious enough? As long as he denied it, he would lose this batch of tea leaves. Who else could impose it on him?
Sun Houpu could only stand up and say: "That was before, our Sun family has not sold tea for a long time!"
Only then did Mr. Sun come to his senses and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Gao, whose family the tea leaves are from, you have to investigate carefully. How could my Sun family do such illegal things!"
The old man's heart is bleeding. This batch of autumn tea that has just been launched is worth more than 100,000 yuan. Why is it just gone? Gao Chun looked at the tea leaves for a long time, how could he return the tea leaves to him after autumn? Even if he returned them, the tea market would have been out of season, so how much money could he still make from the tea leaves?
He was worried about more than that. It seemed that Xia Xue didn't want their family to continue doing this business. If they didn't sell tea, how much would they lose!
Xia Xue was very satisfied, this was the answer she wanted!
"Master Gao, I'm sure my father won't lie to you about whose family smuggled the tea at the port. Please check carefully. If my family commits a crime, I will not live up to it. As for other people's family, then I I can’t even care less!”
Gao Chun didn't mean to cause trouble for the Sun family. Xia Xue's intention was to only protect Mr. Sun, and she couldn't and didn't want to take care of other things!
Gao Chun replied cautiously: "It really needs to be verified whose family the tea belongs to!"
"Master Gao, like Brother Ling, speaks based on evidence. I still appreciate this. I hope Master Gao will not unjustly accuse a good man!"
"I must investigate thoroughly and give Mr. Sun justice!"
Gao Chun glanced at Liang Chuan, and Liang Chuan stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I've drank tea. Seeing that it's time for you to have dinner, we won't disturb you anymore!"
Mr. Sun already wanted to kill Gao Chun and Liang Chuan, but he still wanted to leave them here to cause trouble. Sun Houpu looked at the scene and saw that it was not appropriate to go to Liang Chuan. He could only persuade the old man and Xu to see them off. Leave the Sun family.
"What should I do with Sanlang's batch of tea? He is worthy of being the daughter of Mr. Xia's family. Look at his handiwork. He waved away hundreds of thousands of taels of property without blinking an eye!"
"What does this mean? The gifts my father receives every day are all rare treasures in the world, and the money is just common things. What's so rare about it? If you were destined to be like that, you would be nobler than her!"
"What should I do with these tea leaves? This is not just one cake or two cakes. I counted it that day, and it was tens of thousands of kilograms!"
"I'll ask people to move them out later. It just so happens that the brothers under me are very tired these days. Share some tea with them and let them all enjoy the treatment of rich people!"
Gao Chun was stunned when he heard this. According to his expectation, these tea leaves must have been returned to Mr. Sun privately. After all, everyone was so familiar with each other, and this was originally a planned show for Xia Xue and other people. Look, what has become of this now, a fake show for real?
Gao Chun's face changed at every turn. He used to be in high spirits, but now he's completely depressed. He felt regretful in his heart! It was promised at the beginning that Mr. Sun would be taught a lesson, but he didn't say it was serious. After all, we are a family, and money is just going from the left pocket to the right pocket. You cut someone off in the middle, When the family sits down and complains in the future, they won’t be cannibals anymore?
Gao Chun wished he could slap himself twice. How could he be so mean? Well, seeing that no one else wanted to get involved in the Sun family's trivial matters, his own hands were so mean. Now that it's better, even if the tea leaves are divided into two cakes and brewed, Well, I didn’t even drink a sip of tea. I don’t know how Xia Xue will hate herself in the future!
Sun Houpu didn't expect that Liang Chuan's move would be so harsh. When he was eating in the evening, he looked at Mr. Xu and thought that the relationship between the family would be relaxed and he would smile more. When he was eating, his face looked as smelly as Yoneda Gong. , just like poisoning the food, I wish I could poison myself to death!
He wanted to explain something, but he was afraid that the description would get darker and darker, and Xia Xue would no longer be happy as before, because Sun Houpu, the person beside her, did not tell her that her family was selling private tea! The most important thing between husband and wife is honesty. I would never look down on him because of his background. I didn't expect that he would lie to me for so long!
It was a rare reunion dinner that was full of mixed flavors, each with its own concerns. The most uncomfortable thing to be caught in the middle was Sun Houpu. As soon as the meal was finished, Mr. Sun sincerely wanted to retain this big man with the mentality that he could not afford to lose his wife and lose the army. Son, Xia Xue said that it would take some time to accept the current situation, and she directly rejected the master's kindness. The family was in such a mess!
