Chapter 359 ·Tea Leaves

The water of West Lake is as shimmering as ever, and the autumn wind swept by, causing ripples. Because the weather is getting colder and the market is on the other side of Tongyang Avenue, there are not many tourists, which makes the surroundings look particularly empty.

Li Qi stood under the willow tree by the lake and took a few breaths gently, "The air is so good, it makes people feel comfortable, and even the troublesome things are gone. It can be seen that West Lake is indeed a good place. No wonder so many literati and poets have liked to write poems and lyrics here throughout the ages, and many good sentences have been circulated."

The mother intimately pointed to the distance and said, "The scenery is no longer good now. If there are lotus flowers blooming on the lake in June, it would be beautiful."

"That's certain, otherwise why would there be a poem that says 'After all, the scenery in West Lake is not the same as the four seasons in the middle of June'? It can be seen that it is different." Li Qi whispered, "But the remaining lotus also have the scenery of the remaining lotus, but it is inevitable that people feel lonely and sad."

The close mother smiled and said, "When Mrs. Li is well prepared and she will turn around and hurry up for the good times of spring flowers. You will come back and raft the lake. Then it will be really pleasant."

But at that time, my fifth sister had already gotten married, and maybe her marriage was decided.

Things are people are only a bigger problem.

Li Qi whispered, "There are so many things at home, it's not that easy to go out. I don't know when I come to Hangzhou again."

The mother intimately smiled and knew the inside story again, "Maybe, Miss Six's marriage has not yet settled. Hangzhou is the ancient capital of three dynasties and is full of people. If Mr. Li becomes interested and find an excellent husband for you here, why don't you come here? What's the use of years or months?"

When Li Qi heard that she mentioned her serious business, she didn't change at all. Instead, she was secretly surprised by her close mother. She thought that Li Qi had calmed down to this point and could be so calm when others mentioned her marriage. Mrs. Zhang could not have been like this when she was her age.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Mom, it is said that the Longjing in the Rain in Hangzhou is famous all over the world. I am also uneasy. Because I was so excited to travel far, I spread the news of my visit to Hangzhou well in less than a day and a half. The sisters I have been with on weekdays are clamoring to ask me to bring tea back. I also know that since Longjing in the Rain in the future, I am afraid that the price will not be too cheap, so I only plan to buy a little bit for everyone. In short, it is my wish, so I can just try it. But I heard that Longjing in the future is also true and fake, so I was worried that I would buy something that was better for the inferior ones. I don't understand the experts. Since my mother has lived with my aunt in Hangzhou for many years and has a lot of knowledge, she must know which tea is better, right?"

My personal mother was stunned.

What does Miss Li mean?

I have to go out first... and come to West Lake again... and now I have to buy tea again...

My mother's mind was a little bit unreal, "This...this...this tea is mostly the one in charge of the family's business, and I really don't know what to do...but our in-laws are in the tea business. Since the two families got married, they have not bought it elsewhere. What's more, the Tang family always brings some tea when giving gifts during festivals. The family has a small population and the eldest young master is not often at home, so it's enough to drink...why don't you wait for me to go home to ask you the manager? Or just ask them to help you buy it, so that you won't be able to bargain with others in public."

How can it work? I came out by myself, but I just went to the Tang family to see if the "tea leaves" are good or bad.

She held back her smile and said seriously, "I didn't buy too much, so I can't use it to manage the business? Besides, the family is busy with the marriage of my elder brother. The manager is not stuck all day long. How can I mess with them because of the trivial matters of my boudoir house? I saw a lot of tea shops all the way. Mom took me over to take a look. If we see that the quality is good, we will buy two taels. I have nothing to worry about with you by my side."

My personal mother couldn't figure out what she was selling in the gourd, "Then... OK..." After careful consideration, it was not far from the tea shop of the Tang family. If you want to buy tea, it would be better to go directly to the Tang family. First, they are all their own people and will not be deceived, and second, they can also take care of the Tang family's business, and there is no need to be cheaper for outsiders.

The personal mother suggested, "This place is not far from the Tang family, why not go to the shop of the in-laws? If you don't say anything else, the quality of the tea must be guaranteed."

A sentence hit Li Qi's thoughts, and she nodded immediately and agreed, "Okay, okay!"

After all, it was a young man, and seeing that things were going according to his plan, he couldn't help but feel a little proud and agreed very happily.

This made my mother suspicious.

She couldn't help but look at Miss Li Jialiu curiously. She was a beautiful girl, and now she smiled like a blooming bud, which made people unable to move their eyes for a while.

But the smile on his face also made his close mother wake up instantly.

She recalled Miss Li's inexplicable actions and immediately guessed her intention.

The little girl is so cunning. After such a big circle, she actually went to the Tang family shop to see it. What she saw... is self-evident.

But her personal mother can understand her mood.

Although her parents ordered her to say something, she sometimes married a blind man and was not as good as her own. It is rare that she had the courage and courage to come to see Mr. Tang, which made her look at her with admiration.

But this matter is always a bit outrageous, and she is just a servant. If something happens in the middle, how can she afford it?

How can I get a job with Mrs. Zhang and the Li family?

My personal mother was in a little trouble for a while and wanted to go back and discuss with Mrs. Zhang before making a decision. But the words had already been spoken, and I didn't know what excuse to use to stop it at this time.

Li Qi said, "Mom, don't worry, I only buy a little bit of this tea, and I will never take advantage of the Tang family. And I will leave after I buy it, and it will not delay you from going back and reporting to my aunt."

It seemed to be reminding the mother that she would not cause trouble, so they went back to Zhang's house after buying tea.

The mother intimately smiled bitterly. It was hard to say anything now, so she could only take Li Qi to the tea shop located by the Tang family by the West Lake.

Nowadays, every family has a difficult business, and many shops have no customers. The shopkeeper is lying on the counter and is drowsy, while the young guys gather under the eaves and talk in groups of three or three under the door. In sharp contrast to this is the Tang Family Shop. Although there are not many customers, they are still very eye-catching when entering and leaving.

Li Qi couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that the Tang family either had a good business style or was very honest and had repeat customers willing to visit. No matter which one was, it was admirable.

The personal mother took Li Qi to the gate.

The young man in front of the door immediately greeted him with a smile, "Mom, do you want to buy tea? The store has new tea, which has a mellow and long-lasting aroma. Do you want to taste it? Buy two taels back and it can be enough to drink until the end of the year. Keeping it for yourself or giving it to friends is an excellent choice, and the price is fair and affordable, and it is not short of pounds. You can just buy the reputation of a century-old store. If you buy too much, we will send it to you, which will save you the trouble of carrying it."

Li Qi smiled slightly when she heard this.

Guys are all such weirdos, no wonder the business is good.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper in the shop looked at him and saw the close mother serving Mrs. Zhang. Although this mother didn't come often, he recognized her and immediately met her, "Oh, isn't this the mother next to Mrs. Zhang? Why are you here? But the house has short tea leaves, please come in and sit down."

He kindly invited his personal mother and Li Qi into the door.

The shopkeeper saw that Li Qi was not old, but she was slender and beautiful, and she was flawless. He had seen many people in recent years, but this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl, so she could not be distracted, "This is..."

The personal mother explained, "This is a lady who comes to the mansion as a guest. She doesn't come to Hangzhou often, no wonder you don't recognize her." She asked again, "Are Mr. Tang and the eldest son not in the shop?"

The shopkeeper said, "I went to another store to inspect the store, and I guess I won't be back in the evening."

When Li Qi heard this, she was inevitably a little disappointed.

The mother looked at her and smiled secretly. The little girl had done everything she could, but she didn't expect that the wise man would make a mistake in everything she wanted. Young Master Tang was not in the store.
