Siheyuan: The more excited you are, the more excited I am

Lin Fan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the woman's back. Isn't this Liu Yan? Even when dressed as a woman, she still has her charm.

In the world of Menghualu, she is a married peasant woman with children named Sun Sanniang, and she is also Zhao Paner's business partner.

The fruit that Zhao Paner recommended before was made by her, but the fruit in Song Dynasty did not refer to fruit, but pastries.

Then Lin Fan found a seat near the river and sat down, quietly enjoying the view of Qiantang River.

"Pan'er, why is this young master here for tea so early?"

Sun Sanniang walked into the kitchen, took out the fruits from the food box and placed them on the table.

"It's still early? It's almost noon!"

"But doesn't your teahouse usually only have customers in the afternoon?"

"I invited Mr. Lin back from the street. He came to Qiantang to watch the tide. It happened that I could see the view of Qiantang River, so I invited him back."

Zhao Pan'er smiled when she heard this, and then explained to Sun Sanniang in a low voice.

"His last name is Lin? I think he looks like a young master from a noble family. Pan'er, tell me honestly, are you trying to attract customers or a husband?"

Sun Sanniang quietly poked her head out from the back kitchen and looked at Lin Fan. Looking at his perfect profile, she couldn't help but feel distracted, so she quickly turned around and asked Zhao Pan'er.

Even a woman like her, a wife and a mother, blushed and her heart beat fast when she saw Lin Fan. Zhao Pan'er was a virgin, so it was inevitable that she would fall in love with him, right?

"Sanniang, stop joking. Just look at Master Lin's temperament and his clothes, and you'll know he must be rich or noble. How could he fall for a merchant woman like me? What's more, I was once a lowly person, so I'm not worthy of him at all!"

Zhao Paner's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and then she shook her head helplessly. She knew that there was a huge gap between her and Lin Fan, and she was not worthy of being with Lin Fan at all.

"You also said that that was in the past. Now you are a good citizen! And I remember you said that you never used your sex life to seduce others when you were a lowly person. Now you make a living by selling tea and you are self-reliant. What's there to be unworthy of!"

"Many things cannot be done with a clear conscience. Sanniang, please stop talking. I'm going to go order some tea for Master Lin."

Zhao Pan'er sighed helplessly. Although she had a clear conscience, her previous status as a lowly woman was always shameful.

Those wealthy families would not allow their sons to marry a woman like her.

"Hey, bring some fruit and let him taste it."

"Mr. Lin hasn't said he wants it yet, we can't just act first and ask for permission later."

"It's okay, just consider this as a gift, you can take this opportunity to chat with him for a while!"

"You, okay!"

Zhao Pan'er couldn't persuade Sun Sanniang, so she walked out of the kitchen with some tea sets and a portion of fruit and came to Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, Pan'er is good at tea acrobatics, why don't I perform for you?"

"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you!"

Hearing Lin Fan's agreement, Zhao Paner's face couldn't help but slightly smile. Then she skillfully arranged the tea set and performed tea arts for Lin Fan.

Tea Art, also known as Water Painting, is actually painting on the surface of tea. This really tests the level of a tea master, as one must not only be able to make tea, but also be able to paint.

Zhao Paner's tea art this time was to paint a picture of the Qiantang River and write the character "Lin" of Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, I am sorry for showing off my ugliness!"

After the tea show was finished, Zhao Paner handed the tea to Lin Fan and then looked at him expectantly.

"You made the tea so beautifully, what should I do if I can't bear to drink it?"

"No matter how delicious the tea is, it is still just tea. The purpose of making good tea is to make the tea drinker happy. If Master Lin doesn't drink it, wouldn't it be a waste of Pan'er's efforts?"

"Makes sense."

Lin Fan smiled when he heard that, then picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully.

Although he doesn't usually like to drink tea, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to appreciate tea. He just doesn't want to make any trouble.

But since there is such a beauty by my side today, it would be okay to pretend to be elegant.

"The tea has a pure and mellow aroma, a long-lasting fragrance, and a very pleasant aftertaste. You really ordered a good tea!"

Then Lin Fan began to praise Zhao Paner in the look of expectation.

"Thank you for your compliment, Master Lin. This is the fruit prepared by our shop. Sanniang said she would give it to you for free. Master, please don't say that we are after your money!"

Zhao Pan'er was overjoyed when she heard that, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Then she brought the fruit made by Sun Sanniang to Lin Fan and did not forget to make a playful joke.

This was because Lin Fan had said that she was a good business person and had recommended fruit to him before he even had tea.

"Oh? Then I'd like to taste it carefully. After all, there aren't many free things in the world. But I haven't even spoken to the Sanniang you mentioned, and she's already thinking of exempting me from paying for the fruit. Why don't you, Pan'er, show some appreciation?"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was joking with him, Lin Fan also started teasing her without wanting to be outdone.

"So Master Lin means that I should waive the money for the tea as well?"

Zhao Paner was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Fan with a smile and asked.

"That's not my opinion. It's mainly up to you. After all, you are the boss lady, so you have the final say!"

"So I gave you a plate of fruit, performed tea opera for you, and even waived your tea fee. Then I worked for nothing, didn't I? Master Lin is really good at calculating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan'er looked at Lin Fan with resentment. He really was taking advantage of the situation.

"It can be waived if possible. It's just the money for a cup of tea. Why can't it be waived? As long as Master Lin comes to Pan'er's place to drink tea often in the future, it will be fine!"

Sun Sanniang, who was hiding in the kitchen and eavesdropping, couldn't help it and rushed out to speak.

"What if I come here often but never want to pay?"

"Oh, that's difficult, unless... you marry our Pan'er, then you can come often to drink tea without paying!"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, even Sun Sanniang was stunned for a moment. It was okay once or twice, but how could someone keep coming without paying? However, she quickly reacted and smiled and gave Lin Fan an idea.

"Sanniang, don't talk nonsense. Is Master Lin in trouble? If you really need money, Pan'er can lend it to you first!"

Zhao Pan'er first stopped Sun Sanniang from continuing, and then spoke to Lin Fan with a serious face.

"We don't know each other, and I'm eating and drinking for free here, and you still dare to lend me money? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? It's not easy for you to make money, right?"

Lin Fan was really surprised this time. This Zhao Pan'er really surprised him.

"Mr. Lin, you are joking. Just the clothes you are wearing are worth more than a thousand strings of cash. Why would I worry about not being able to return them?"

"Then maybe I am just pretending to be rich, and the only thing I have is this set of clothes, which makes it easier for me to cheat?"

"I believe in my own eyes. No one can match your temperament. This cannot be faked. Even if I really saw it wrong, I will admit it!"

When Zhao Pan'er spoke, she stared into Lin Fan's eyes with a serious look, and said what was in her heart.
