Chapter 586

Words export, thought of the county Lord's order, quickly swallow back, "Xia Niang Zi, how are you here?"

This word export, Meng Lin more regret, the whole Pingyang County all know vermicelli workshop is Xia Xi open, he this is not knowingly asked?

"I mean, how did lady Xia come here today?"

"Let's see how sweet potato is growing. I didn't expect to meet Meng Yatou."

Meng Lin said, "yes, it's a coincidence."

See Meng Lin and Xia Xi also know, the village head moved his mind, "just in time, all go home to sit, I have good tea there."

The village head jumps down from Xia Xi's carriage. Meng Lin can see clearly.

Knowing that his relationship with Xia Xi is unusual, Meng Lin is afraid to go even if he wants to, "no, today's task is heavy. In addition to your village, other villages also need to collect money. We have to go there."

The village head wanted to call him home and ask why he paid more taxes this year. After listening to his reply, he looked at Xia Xi and motioned for her to help.

Xia Xi understood his meaning and said, "let's go to my uncle's house. His tea is still from my house. It's superior. There are few teahouses in my house."

She opened her mouth, and Meng Lin naturally would not refuse. She handed the gong to the Yamen servant behind her, "Lady Xia, please first."

Xia Xi in the front, the village head with Meng Lin in the back, Wei Cai Dian Dian in the back.

People in the village see that Meng Lin is so respectful to Xia Xi, so they immediately make introductions.

The Yamen servant with the Gong knocked fiercely, and the eardrum of the shocked people was in pain. "What are you looking at? Don't you hurry home and carry the grain!"

The crowd dispersed and went home to prepare.

……

At home, the village head asked his daughter-in-law to boil water. He took a few cups and put them on the table, then took out the preserved tea, put them in the teapot and took them to the kitchen.

The tea table was placed in the shade of the house. For the first time, Meng Lin was so close to Xia Xi that he was a little cramped.

If you want to find something to say, your brain is empty and you can't remember anything.

When the village head came back, he was relieved and said politely, "village head Wei, don't be busy, just sit down."

The village head sat down and poured a glass of water for him first. Meng Lin didn't dare to take it. He said in a hurry, "Lady Xia, please first."

"You drink first, and this is for her."

Words fall, already pour good, village head handed Xia Xi in front.

He poured another cup for himself. "Meng Yatou, how can the tax be raised suddenly this year? I remember it hasn't been so high for many years."

Meng Lin carefully looked at Xia Xi and then replied, "this is the order above, we don't know."

The village head sighed, "I thought it would be a good year, with more grain. The villagers have a better life, but their taxes have been raised."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Wei Cai said to him, holding a pottery bowl with tea in his hand, "it's the first time that such a high tax has been paid since the war with the Lord."

Xia Xi's heart moved.

Meng Lin carefully observed her face and saw that she looked as usual. He didn't seem to hear what Wei Cai said. He was secretly relieved.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xia Xi went back to the county in a carriage. As soon as she got out of the carriage, before she entered the shop, she heard someone shouting, "miss."

Xia Xi looked back, and a jewelry shop clerk came running with sweat all over his head. "Miss, the lady who bought the headdress last time is here again. Shopkeeper Liu asked you to come over."

Although I don't know the identity of the county master's wife, shopkeeper Liu also knows that she is not an ordinary one. He goes to greet her in person, but the county master's wife is about to meet Xia Xi. Shopkeeper Liu still thinks that there is something wrong with the jewelry last time, so he is worried and asks the clerk to call Xia Xi.

Jewelry shop, shopkeeper Liu has been anxiously looking at the outside, see Xia Xi come, quickly welcome out, "miss."

"What about people?"

"In the house."

Xia Xi in the past, two servant girls of the county master's wife guard at the door one by one, see her come over, lift the curtain, let in.

"Madame."

Xia Xi shouts with a smile.

The county master's wife put down her tea cup and said with a smile, "I'd like to trouble lady Xia for a trip."

"Yes, if my wife comes here in the future, let someone say hello to me in advance to save you a trip in vain."

"There's nothing else. I just want to see if there are any good jewelry in the shop. The headdress I bought last time was picked up by one of my relatives. I don't have to go over anything."

"There are several sets, all of which have just been made. They haven't been put in the counter yet. Madam, would you like to have a look?"

"Thank you very much."

"You are welcome, madam."

Xia Xi calls shopkeeper Liu to come over and ask him to take it. Shopkeeper Liu puts his heart back. He goes to the house and takes the jewelry carefully. Among them, one set of headgear is more complete than last time. There are hairpins, back combs, heart picks, pendants, hoops, top hairpins, temples covered, distracted, full crowns and so on, The patterns are as like as two peas. The colors are arranged from shallow to deep, and are very dazzling.

The county master's wife almost lost her manners, and Sheng Yin was so excited that she said, "how much is this set of silver?"

Shopkeeper Liu dare not answer, looking at Xia Xi.

Xia Xi stretched out three fingers, shopkeeper Liu's intuitive heart jumped to the throat, legs unconsciously soft.

"I told my wife that this set of jewelry is unique, 30000 taels of silver. I only earned you 3000 taels, not much."

She said this frankly, without any difference. If she didn't know in advance how much money these agates were bought, shopkeeper Liu would have believed it.

"OK, I'll take it."

With the words of the county master and his wife, shopkeeper Liu really couldn't stand any longer. He was staring at the head and wanted to have a closer look. Where is it worth 30000 taels?

He looks in the eyes, Xia Xi smile comfort, "manager Liu, don't feel sorry, my wife and I have a deep friendship, earn her three thousand Liang, I have been very sorry."

Shopkeeper Liu

County Master's wife looked over, also saw the shopkeeper Liu's face reluctant appearance, in the heart more and more have a good impression on Xia Xi, "well, I don't white touch your light, these sets of head total how much silver, I want all."

Shopkeeper Liu

When I opened my mouth, I was so excited that I was about to cry. The cry in my voice was very obvious, "big, big miss, I, I'll go out..."

"Go ahead."

Manager Liu went out with weak legs.

Xia Xi shakes her head. "Don't be surprised, madam. Originally, these sets of jewelry wanted to be the treasure of the town shop. The shopkeeper is distressed."

"I understand. Thank you, lady Xia. I've made friends with you. If you have anything to do in the future, please come to me."

"Thank you, madam."

Outside, shopkeeper Liu went directly to the side of the jar, scooped up a ladle of water and drank it.
