MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 68

March 8th, should open.

On this day, everyone in Qishanju got up very early and started to get busy. They helped Jiang Yunzhu and Xue Jing to make snacks, reviewed how to make tea, and put melon seeds, peanut preserves and other things on plates... everything was ready, and it was already bright outside.

"Boss." Xue Jing took the last piece of dim sum out of the oven, feeling a little apprehensive.

Opening a teahouse, they are opening a new one with heavy drums, and I don't know if there are any guests today.

Jiang Yunzhu didn't speak, and she was a little uncertain. The restaurant opened at noon, when the students across the street were leaving school, and the lion dance team made a fuss, which would naturally attract customers, but the teahouse had to open at the right time, when the students were all in class, and the street could be crowded. Usually nobody.

But everything is ready, "Let's go." She took off her apron, adjusted her appearance in front of the water tank, and took the lead to go out.

Opening the gate of Qishanju, many people were already surrounded outside.

"Boss Jiang, your teahouse opened today? Congratulations." Seeing Jiang Yunzhu coming out, Miss Ye got off the carriage and said. As soon as she moved, the curtains of the several carriages behind were all lifted, and inside were the girls who used to eat at Qishanju.

They all got out of the car and congratulated Jiang Yunzhu for the opening of the new store.

There are so many delicate girls, they are beautiful and well-dressed, and they immediately become a beautiful scenery on the street.

There is still a steady stream of carriages coming here from behind.

"Who are you? Thank you, thank you!" Jiang Yunzhu really didn't expect so many girls to come today.

"When your new store opened, we made an agreement to come and support you together. If anyone doesn't come, we won't allow her to come to your store for dinner and tea in the future!" The round-faced Miss Tao said jokingly.

Hearing what she said, Jiang Yunzhu seemed to understand what was going on, and was extremely grateful in her heart.

At this time, all the girls immediately started talking one after another, "No, it's rare that there is a place like Qishanju for us to eat and play. If anyone doesn't come, don't come in the future."

"Boss Jiang, you want to open a teahouse? Then can we come to your teahouse every day in the future?"

"It's great. We can only come to Qishanju at noon and evening, and we have to leave after eating, so we can't talk properly. With the teahouse, we can come when we are free. This time we can have fun!"

"Boss Jiang, the new store opens today, is there anything delicious?"

"Yeah, why is that octopus ball gone? I haven't eaten enough yet."

…

All the girls sang and swallowed together, and Jiang Yunzhu felt the trouble of happiness. When they asked her together, she didn't know who to answer first.

"Boss Jiang, congratulations!" Compared with these girls, the words of the young masters next to him were relatively simple, and they were all words of congratulations.

Jiang Yunzhu took a quick look and found that out of the ten young masters who were judges last time, seven of them came. Many of the rest are regular customers of her store, and they also came here to congratulate her when they heard that her new store opened today.

Jiang Yunzhu felt warm in her heart, "Thank you everyone for coming to join us. The new store opens today, and all tea and snacks are half price." This was her temporary decision to repay everyone's kindness.

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered up, half price? Sure enough, they came to the right place today.

At this time, the lion dance team danced, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

When it was time for the opening, Jiang Yunzhu climbed up the ladder, reached out and tore off the red cloth, revealing the three characters "tea is not cold".

"Okay!" Everyone cheered. I really don't know who wrote this word, but it is still amazing when I look at it again.

"The tea is not cold, 'the heart of a customer is always hot, and the tea is not cold when people leave'. It is good to hear that the tea is not cold, and I feel comfortable. Boss Jiang, just call your teahouse name, and we will know how much you treat us. gone."

"No, the tea is not cold, I hope we can meet here forever."

"'Thousand cups of fine wine are hard to make a confidant, but a cup of clear tea can also be intoxicating'. If the tea is not cold, we will not leave."

…

As expected of the young masters and young ladies who have studied, one person talked about his feelings, and the others followed immediately. Some young masters even looked at the young ladies while talking, wondering if they were talking about this teahouse. Still talking about people.

It's all right, young man!

"Thank you for your love." Another burst of firecrackers sounded, and Jiang Yunzhu thanked everyone.

Beside her, Jiang Cheng, Chen Shi, Xue Jing, Xie Lian, Xie Chen and others were all there. The new store opened today, and Jiang Yunzhu took the opportunity to distribute benefits to everyone. Everyone was wearing brand new clothes, standing there laughing and talking.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Everyone congratulated again.

"Everyone, please come in." Jiang Yunzhu made a gesture of invitation, and everyone rushed into the store immediately. They wanted to see what the store was like and what delicious food it had.

This store is almost a replica of Qishanju, which makes people look friendly. It's just that in the east corner, there are a few more rows of bookshelves and some paper and pens.

"You can look through these books at will." Jiang Yunzhu explained, "There are also these pens and papers. If you need them, you can also take them, as long as you don't take them out of the store or waste them on purpose."

After hearing this, everyone praised it again. This kind of teahouse is in line with their wishes, and they can chat here in the future.

There were also those who didn't eat in the morning, just waiting to come to Jiang Yunzhu's place for tea and snacks, and immediately began to look at the menus hanging on the wall.

Tea, from ordinary green tea to top-quality Biluochun, is available here, and candied melon seeds are all available here. Of course, the most attractive thing for everyone is the dim sum in the store.

The red bean cake with milk, they had eaten it earlier, it was delicious. They all know what cloud cakes, peanut cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc. are, but what are lotus root cakes, cotton cakes, and mincemeat cakes? By the way, there are also crab shell biscuits, biscuits made from crab shells?

Everyone finds it novel, and can't wait to order a plate to try.

In the end, I chose two dishes with difficulty, ordered a pot of tea, and waited anxiously.

The tea was served quickly, and when everyone drank it, no matter if it was the cheapest tea or the top-grade Biluochun, they were all brewed just right, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing.

Of course, Jiang Yunzhu has learned how to make tea seriously before, not to mention these things, no matter how rare sparrow tongue and snow-topped greens are, she can make them 100% delicious.

After only two sips of tea, the snacks were served.

The lotus root cake can be made so thin, even thinner than the dragon beard cake, and the cake is full of the fragrance of lotus root, no wonder it is called the lotus root cake. Mincemeat Cake, filled with various dried and dried fruits, is fragrant and soft, but not greasy, really delicious.

Sweet-scented osmanthus cake, cotton cake, cloud slice cake...every kind of cake is delicious, but the most special one is the crab shell cake.

The freshly baked sesame seed cakes are exactly the same as crab shells, and they are crispy and refreshing after one bite.

After eating too many sweet cakes, a fresh and spicy sesame seed cake suddenly comes, which has a special taste.

Almost every table will order a crab shell biscuit, everyone is satisfied, and Xue Jing and others are also busy and happy.

Little did they know, someone was looking at this side, burning with anger. It was Xie Yong, last time he wanted to put his account in the name of Xie Chen or Xie Lian, but Jiang Yunzhu refused and called the police.

The police didn't care so much, they directly took him to jail, and said that when the family sent the money, he would let him go.

Of course Xie Chen and Xie Lian would not give him money, so he has been kept in prison.

But it had been so many days, and he only owed Qishanju forty-eight coins at that time. Seeing that there was no money to fish for, the cell boss released him.

Xie Yong is now disheveled and unkempt, the first thing he does when he leaves the cell is to find Xie Chen to settle accounts with Xie Lian. This pair of unfilial brothers and sisters really had the heart to put him in prison for so many days and ignore him. He insisted on making them look good.

So he came to Qishanju, and happened to see Xie Chen and Xie Lian standing there in brand new clothes, with smiles on their faces.

How can Xie Yong not be angry, he is suffering in prison, but the two are enjoying happiness outside.

He was about to rush into the teahouse and beat the two of them, but when he saw Jiang Yunzhu, he was a little scared, so he poohed on the ground, and went home crookedly.

Xie Chen and Xie Lian didn't know that Xie Yong had come out of prison. After the business of the teahouse stabilized, Xie Chen left.

It was already the eighth day of March, and the scientific examination was due in May. Now he had to hurry up and prepare for the examination.

Jiang Yunzhu understood, let him rest assured.

At night, Qishanju closed, and Xie Lian returned home with a food box. The food box contained snacks and vegetables that were not sold out in the store today. Jiang Yunzhu didn't want to waste it, so she bought some for her.

Xie Lian has already eaten in the store, this box is for Xie Chen. She was carrying the food box, happy in her heart, and couldn't wait to go home, show Xie Chen what was in the food box, and let him eat.

Back home, when she opened the door, she found that the door was unlocked. Xie Lian thought that Xie Chen had returned, so she walked briskly into the door.

The room is very dark, Xie Chen didn't turn on the light?

Xie Lian lit the lamp, but saw a person sitting in the room.

Seeing that person's appearance clearly, Xie Lian's skin suddenly turned cold, and her whole body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, and the food box in her hand fell directly.

Xie Yong caught the food box and said in a dark voice, "What a good thing, it smells so good."

Opening the food box, I saw a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of twice-cooked pork, a bowl of white rice, and even three snacks.

Xie Yong became more and more furious, "You eat these every day, no wonder, you are all fat. But, have you forgotten that you still have a father, who is still suffering in prison!" In the last sentence, he It was drunk out of anger.

Xie Lian was so frightened that her body shook like sifting chaff, like leaves falling in the wind.

Xie Yong was very satisfied with her reaction, took a step back, and sat on the stool, "What are you doing standing up, go, get me chopsticks." He ate first, and then had fun with her after eating.

Xie Lian didn't seem to hear what he said.

"Go soon?" Xie Yong raised his eyebrows.

Xie Lian hurried out to get the chopsticks, and handed them to him with shaking hands. In the middle, the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.

Xie Yong took it impatiently, "Trash." He cursed and started to gobble up the vegetables.

Soon, he ate up two dishes and a bowl of rice.

"Water," he said.

Xie Lian picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water.

While drinking water and eating snacks, he looked Xie Lian up and down.

Xie Lian wore a new light grass-colored long dress today. The girl has a slender waist and her skin is much fairer than before. With her big watery eyes, she is very beautiful.

"Just like your **** mother, she knows how to seduce men." Xie Yong cursed, then suddenly pulled Xie Lian into his arms and touched her body.

Xie Lian's eyes widened in horror, and she wanted to shout, but she couldn't.

Her eyes slowly dimmed, and despair overwhelmed her like a sea.

"Don't shout, that's right, if you let your brother see it, he won't want you. If you let others see it, they will just call you cheap!" Xie Yong said proudly.

At this time, his hand had reached into Xie Lian's clothes.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, "Alian?" It was the voice of Xie Chen.

Xie Lian burst into tears.

Xie Yong cursed in a low voice, and reluctantly let go of Xie Lian, he was still a little apprehensive about his gratitude.

Xie Lian was soft on the ground, curled up into a ball, like a small animal.

When Xie Chen came in, he saw Xie Lian curled up there with tears all over his face, beside him, Xie Yong was full of anger.

Xie Chen didn't know what almost happened just now, just like he didn't know what Xie Yong did to Xie Lian before, he just thought that Xie Yong beat and scolded Xie Lian again. He punched Xie Yong with a fist, "I told you, don't touch Xie Lian."

His fists were precise and ruthless, Xie Yong didn't guard against his sudden attack, he was hit in the face and fell to the side.

But soon, Xie Yong stood up, "Okay, dare to hit me!" He picked up the pole next to him.

Seeing this, Xie Chen pursed his lips and picked up the kitchen knife beside him.

His face was extremely ferocious, as if he really wanted to fight Xie Yong desperately.

Xie Yong looked at the kitchen knife and became timid, but he still said, "Why, you want to chop your father? Try it."

Xie Chen clenched the kitchen knife in his hand, "I said, don't touch Xie Lian."

"You were all born by me, so I can't move? The father beats his son, and the official doesn't care about it." Xie Yong said.

"What I owe you, I will pay you back."

Returning to the original question, Xie Yong gave a piss. It took him eight lifetimes of bad luck to give birth to such a rebellious son. Throwing away the pole, he went back to his room to sleep.

Xie Chen put down the kitchen knife, and after a while he came back to his senses and went to help Xie Lian, "Did he hit you?"

Xie Lian threw herself into Xie Chen's arms, crying out of breath.

Xie Chen took a cursory look at her body, and he didn't seem to be injured, so he was relieved.

At night, it was time to go to bed, Xie Chen wanted to send Xie Lian back to the room, but Xie Lian held his hand firmly, no matter how much he comforted and persuaded him, it was useless.

There was no way, Xie Chen let Xie Lian sleep on the bed, he moved a chair and sat there to accompany her.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lian was awakened by a nightmare and subconsciously went to arrest people. Feeling that Xie Chen was beside her, she felt relieved. But after she lay down, looking at Xie Chen's tired face, she couldn't help crying again.

She didn't want him to work so hard, but she was so scared!

The next morning, Xie Yong got up early and scolded in the yard.

Xie Lian grabbed Xie Chen's arm, shaking with fear.

Xie Chen took her out the door directly.

When the two arrived on the street, Xie Chen looked at the somewhat empty streets and felt that this could no longer be the case. Xie Lian cannot be under the same roof as Xie Yong, otherwise she will be afraid and he will not be able to study quietly.

Go out to rent a house? It has been rented before, but when Xie Yong came to make trouble, they refused to rent it to him.

What else can I do?

Xie Chen looked at the vast sky, and said to Xie Lian, "Otherwise, let's go to Beijing early." He hasn't collected enough travel expenses, but he can earn money while walking.

Xie Lian only held his hand tightly, she would go wherever he went, as long as he didn't leave her behind.

Before the teahouse opened, Xie Chen brought Xie Lian here. Both of them were not in a good condition. Xie Chen had bloodshot eyes, Xie Lian seemed to have cried, and his eyes were still a little swollen.

"What happened?" Jiang Yunzhu asked, and then asked Li He to bring a glass of milk and a little snack for each of them.

Xie Chen opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything about Xie Yong. He had already troubled Jiang Yunzhu last time, and he didn't want to trouble her again.

"The scientific examination will be held in May, and I want to take Xie Lian to Beijing ahead of schedule." He only said.

"Didn't you say we will start again in April?" Jiang Yunzhu was puzzled.

"It's better to go early, otherwise if something happens along the way, it will be troublesome if you are delayed." Xie Chen said.

Jiang Yunzhu felt that what he said was also reasonable. In ancient times, many scholars fell ill and fell ill on the way to catch the exam. If you have more time, you don't have to hurry.

"You can decide for yourself. I will pay you and Xie Lian." Jiang Yunzhu took out the abacus and started counting.

Xie Chen wanted to say that Xie Lian's wages would be forfeited, and she would leave within a month of working. If she changed to another place, she would definitely not get a penny.

But he also knew about Jiang Yunzhu, and she would definitely give it if she said so.

In the end, he didn't speak, but silently kept this kindness in his heart.

At this time, Jiang Yunzhu did the calculations, and the two of them had a total of one, two or three coins.

"So much?" Xie Chen was surprised.

"That's right, Xie Lian is one of the top ten employees in my shop, so of course she should be paid more." Jiang Yunzhu laughed.

Xie Lian heard and looked at Jiang Yunzhu, her eyes became bright again, she was the first person to praise her like that. She really likes it and is very reluctant to leave here.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, took out the silver and handed it to Xie Chen.

"Thank you!" Xie Chen solemnly said.

"You deserve it." Jiang Yunzhu only said.

Xie Chen thought for a while, "I'll give you the account of the teahouse yesterday, anyway, I won't be able to leave today."

"Go to work, account for me..."

Thank you for sticking to it.

"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu said, "Then you guys eat this milk and snacks first, and then go to work."

Xie Chen ate with Xie Lian, and Xie Chen helped Jiang Yunzhu settle the accounts. The teahouse opened yesterday, and there are a lot of accounts.

Xie Lian went to the kitchen at the back to work, and in her free time, she touched everything there nostalgicly, recalling the happy days spent here.

Soon, the teahouse opened for business and customers came in.

At that time, Xie Chen finished the account and handed the account to Jiang Yunzhu.

The teahouse opened yesterday, and I made a total of two taels. It doesn't look like much, but it was half price yesterday.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that the teahouse is very profitable.

Jiang Yunzhu nodded with a smile, almost as she expected.

At this time, Xie Chen and Xie Lian were leaving, Li He and the others knew that they were leaving, so they came out to see them off. Especially Xie Lian, we didn't get along for a long time, but we worked hard together and watched Qishanju get better and better. Now that she is leaving... everyone is very reluctant.

Xie Lian was also reluctant to part with them, and everyone reluctantly bid farewell.

"Bon Voyage."

"Take care on the road."

"If you have a chance in the future, you must come back and see us."

…

Qin Yao and Lin Yubai entered the teahouse, and when she heard this, she immediately stood there in a daze. Xie Chen wants to leave, bring Xie Lian to Beijing?

Xie Chen and Xie Lian had bid farewell to everyone and walked outside. At this time, he saw Qin Yao.

The eyes of the two were glued together.

But in the end, Xie Chen took Xie Lian and left without looking back.

Qin Yao stood there, at a loss.

The Qin family also has a rice and grain shop in Wuling County, as well as a courtyard. In the courtyard, Qin Yao took out a purse and stood there hesitantly.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and walked out with her purse in her hand.

"Ayao!" A person stopped her, it was Lin Yubai.

Qin Yao looked up at him.

"Ayao, don't go." Lin Yubai looked at the purse in her hand and said earnestly, "Your father will not agree with you being together."

"How do you know? If he gets the fame..."

"Unless he passes the exam, there will be no one in the court, and at most he will be released as a county magistrate. Your father is looking for the young master of He Zhizhou."

"I won't marry him." Qin Yao said angrily.

"Ayao, I..." Lin Yubai wanted to say something more, but Qin Yao had already left. He chased him out, and there was no sign of her.

Qin Yao came to the street where Xie Chen lived and lingered there.

At this time, Xie Yong happened to come out of the house and saw her. He remembered her, the lady from a rich family, it seemed that she was interested in Xie Chen.

Thinking of this, Xie Yong felt resentful. The last time he heard the news, he was very happy for a long time, thinking that if Xie Chen could marry a rich man's daughter, he would be able to live a good life along with it.

But with Xie Chen like this, even if he has money, he won't spend it on him.

Looking at Qin Yao again, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his skin is so tender that it seems that water can flow out with a pinch, and a thought that shouldn't have flashed through his mind. Good thing was interrupted last night, he's just now...

Thinking of this, he walked towards Qin Yao.

Qin Yao also remembered him, Xie Chen's father.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Xie at home? I have something to tell him." Qin Yao lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Yong, her face blushing.

Xie Yong saw that his eyes were burning, "here, I will take you to see him."

"En." Qin Yao's voice was like a mosquito.

Xie Yong walked in front, she followed behind, and the two walked through the street one after the other.

As for a family next to the street, Xie Lian was sitting in the yard, and happened to see two people passing by outside.

After reacting for a while, she rushed towards the door, trying to stop Qin Yao and tell her that Xie Yong is not a good person.

But when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound. She was so anxious that she ran over there and slapped the wall, hoping to attract Qin Yao's attention.

Qin Yao was so immersed in her own world that she didn't pay attention to the voice behind her.

At this time, she entered Xie's house.

Xie Yong saw Xie Lian behind him, and showed her a stern expression.

Xie Lian was immediately frightened and limp there.

Satisfied, Xie Yong closed the door with his backhand.

Xie Lian leaned against the wall, her eyes blushing anxiously, but what should she do?

Yes, go find Xie Chen. Xie Chen went to the academy just now, and asked her to wait for him at the neighbor's aunt's house first.

She suddenly ran to the academy like crazy.

Soon she arrived at the academy, looking at the shadowy houses, she stood there, crying with anxiety, there are so many houses, such a big place, where can she find Xie Chen.

"Boss, Xie Lian, she seems to be crying." Li He was busy in the teahouse, and suddenly saw Xie Lian on the opposite street, and said to Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu looked outside, it was indeed Xie Lian, what happened to her?

"What happened?" Jiang Yunzhu went out, walked up to Xie Lian, found that she was indeed crying, and asked gently.

Hearing her voice, Xie Lian grabbed her hand as if she had found a savior, and whimpered.

"Where's your brother? You still want to find your brother." Jiang Yunzhu asked tentatively.

Xie Lian nodded and shook her head again, gesticulating with her hands.

She was too anxious, and her gestures were messy, Jiang Yunzhu couldn't guess what she wanted to say.

Suddenly, she guessed, "You, no, your family?"

Xie Lian nodded, anxious and excited, and suddenly let out a hoarse voice, "Help!" The voice was harsh and unpleasant like fingernails scratching the ground.

"Save?" Jiang Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat, who to save?

At this time, Xie Lian suddenly thought of something and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. The handkerchief was very well made, and there was a small Qin character embroidered on the corner. It was given to her by Qin Yao to wipe her tears last time. Said that this handkerchief was given to her.

She received the gift for the first time and kept it with her very carefully.

When Jiang Yunzhu saw the word Qin on the handkerchief, he immediately thought of a lot. Ever since she saw Qin Yao, she has always had a question in her heart, how could she become like in her dream, could it be...

"Your house?" She grabbed Xie Lian's hand and asked urgently.

Xie Lian nodded immediately.

"Take me there quickly."

Xie Lian ran over there.

Jiang Yunzhu followed for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, "Wait for me, I'll be right back." Then she turned back to Qishan Residence, and when she reached the backyard, she just saw Shen Fengming coming out of the house, she grabbed his hand and ran out.

She thought just now that if something happened to her and Xie Lian, it would be difficult.

Bringing Shen Fengming along is faster than calling those arresters, and it works.

Shen Fengming didn't know why, but he quickly grabbed Jiang Yunzhu's hand.

The two quickly returned to the street.

Xie Lian was a little afraid of Shen Fengming, but seeing him holding Jiang Yunzhu's hand, she felt much more at ease, and hurried home.

The author has something to say:

"Thousand cups of fine wine are hard to make a confidant, but a cup of tea can also be intoxicating" from the Internet
