pampering wife

Chapter 8

But the inn is really profitable, two Tianzi rooms are worth the wine she sells in a day!Thinking of making wine... Qingmei saw that there was an orchard in front of her, the peach and plum branches inside were in full bloom, and there were red apricot blossoms sticking out of the low wall, she pulled Bai Haitang into it with a thought.

The owner of the orchard is a man in his 40s. Seeing them coming in, he kindly persuaded them: "Little girl, no one is allowed to enter this orchard." few.

Qingmei smiled and said, "Uncle Jin, you don't recognize me?" She had been to this orchard last year.At that time, Qingmei had just started to make fruit wine, and was busy buying fruits everywhere. She also went here to see that the fruit in the garden was growing very well, but unfortunately there were many buyers. Pity.

The man in front of him is surnamed Jin Mingkui, he is warm-hearted and very good at gardening, Qingmei remembers him.Not being able to buy fruit last year made her worry for a long time. It is rare that the fruit produced in this orchard is good. At this time, she thought of making a reservation earlier—Mrs. During this period, you can have good fruit seasoning when making wine.

Jin Kui looked at her for a long time, then suddenly slapped his head and said, "So it's Shopkeeper Qu Xiao, look at my memory!"

Qingmei smiled and asked him how he was, and said: "Are there still those fruits in the garden this year?"

Jin Kui nodded and said, "Apple, peach, golden pear, apricot and plum are all common."

"I want to order some fruits in advance, I wonder if it's okay?" Qingmei looked up at Jin Kui with a light and decent smile, but she really had the demeanor of a shopkeeper.Seeing that Jin Kui hesitated, Qingmei continued: "The price is negotiable. How about I pay more per catty than others? My mother will not have any objections."

"The price is easy to talk about, easy to talk about." Of course Jin Kui agreed. He had seen Qingmei's mother and daughter get along with each other before, and knew that Qingmei's words were useful, so he said, "I will write a document and send it to the tavern later." Whether Kui made a mistake and sold the fruit to others, or changed his mind temporarily after the green plums matured, there must be a proof to deal with it.

Qingmei is naturally happy, looking at the spring flowers in full bloom in the garden, her mood is extremely bright.However, at the next moment, a dark cloud floated over the head—at the gate of the orchard, Wu Jin and Yao Xiuwu were walking over together, followed by a group of servant girls.

Behind them, Xu Huaiyuan also ran over, presumably because he was afraid that these two people would embarrass his sister.

Wu Jin's crisp voice came from afar: "Master Jin, this year's orchard is even better than previous years."

Jin Kui recognized that this was the daughter of the Sheriff's Mansion. Many of the fresh fruits he produced every year were sent to the Sheriff's Mansion, and he was very dedicated to the personnel.The other party was an official, so Jin Kui naturally didn't dare to neglect: "Miss Wu is well."

Naturally, Wu Jin didn't talk to him seriously, looked at Qingmei twice, smiled slowly: "Isn't this Qu Qingmei? It's really a coincidence that I have taken over this orchard." As soon as Jin Kui said this, he immediately raised his head Seeing Wu Jin's expression and seeing her raising her eyebrows proudly, he glanced at Qing Mei with some embarrassment, but didn't dare to say anything.

Yao Xiuwu next to him knew that Wu Jin was looking for trouble on purpose, so he said, "When did sister Jin buy the orchard, why didn't I hear you mention it?"

"Just now." Wu Jin did not hide her malicious provocation at all, and squinted at Qingmei with a smile.

Yao Xiuwu glanced at Qingmei, but stopped talking.

At this moment Xu Huaiyuan also ran over, clung to Qingmei's side with a look of vigilance.Although Bai Haitang next to him hated Wu Jin's arrogance and domineering, but the business of Tonghua Inn had to be taken care of by the government, so she didn't dare to provoke this young lady for no reason.What's more, the orchard can't be found anywhere, so why bother to grab it with Wu Jin?She pulled Qingmei's sleeve and said: "Then let's look at another house."

Qingmei was also a little annoyed in her heart, and she responded after hearing the words: "Let's go." Knowing that Wu Jin was acting out of anger, Qingmei could only comfort herself. It's a tavern.

What's more, this young lady acts willfully and casually. She only found fault with her today and said she bought the orchard. How can she count on what she said?Looking back, Jin Kui would ask the Sheriff's Mansion what he meant. They were not in a panic, and they certainly wouldn't take over the whole orchard seriously, so it would be fine to come back then.So, right now, why do you have to compete with this messy daughter?

Wu Jin, who was on the opposite side, couldn't help but feel proud to see her withdrawing so knowingly.

Qingmei looked down on Wu Jin very much, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.Although this Wu Jin is a dignified lady from the official family and was sent to a women's school by the county sheriff, her nonsense, obsessive, provocative, and provocative nature is really annoying.As a female student, her conduct is far worse than that of Bai Haitang.

Qingmei curled her lips, and was about to leave with Bai Haitang, when she heard a familiar voice: "I've taken over this garden!" The voice was not high, but it carried an indescribable majesty, not like a proposal, It doesn't seem like an order, but rather like stating a matter that has already been settled.

At this time, Qingmei was standing under a tree of apricot blossoms. She looked up, and through the drooping branches and leaves of the apricot blossoms, she could see the fragrance of pink and white peaches and plums not far away. Wei Li, wearing an indigo brocade gown, was striding towards her come.
