Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

As soon as he finished speaking, the customers in the store were amazed.

“It’s true.”

"That's a good point, hahaha..."

Fan Jinyou immediately felt uncomfortable. He also had some thoughts about Chen Xueru, the beautiful boss. So he frowned and said, "So what Pianye meant was that Qin Zheng is a gigolo! Besides, Chen Xueru is just Qin Zheng's girlfriend now. They haven't gotten married yet. Isn't it too early to say this?"

The tavern suddenly became quiet, and the originally lively and harmonious atmosphere was suddenly interrupted.

Pian Ye said angrily: "Fan Jinyou, is this what I mean?"

Chen Xueru's face flushed red, and she was also very angry. She was about to speak for her lover, but Qin Zheng patted her hands. How could he let her stand up for him in this matter? He gave her a reassuring look, then laughed and said:

"Fan Jinyou's words are right. Even though I have nothing now, I am actually just one bowl of soft rice away from reaching the peak of my life. I have bad teeth, so I can only eat soft rice. If I eat soft rice, it means I have grasped the future. Master Niu, don't you agree?"

The joke of living off a gigolo has been played out in many different ways in later generations, and Qin Zheng naturally would not let Fan Jinyou laugh at him, so he started making self-deprecating remarks and let Niu Ye take over the topic to see how Fan Jinyou would take the bullying.

Niu Ye said cheerfully: "Haha, yes, not everyone can eat this kind of free food."

Pian Ye also recovered his emotions at this time, and immediately replied: "That's right, the kind of people who don't eat pigs and dogs will definitely not be able to eat free rice."

After saying that, he glanced at Fan Jinyou, and his meaning was very clear: you are the kind of person who would not be eaten by pigs or picked by dogs.

Fan Jinyou slammed his wine glass on the table and said angrily, "How can you talk like that?"

Pian Ye said: "How can you talk like that?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xu Huizhen said, "Everyone who comes to my place is a guest. I am a little woman who runs a tavern. I am happy that everyone can support my business."

Niu Ye said: "Hey, that's a very true statement."

Xu Huizhen said: "Whether it's genuine or not, everyone knows what kind of person my brother-in-law is. Fan Jinyou is the first and probably the only one who dares to say that he is a gigolo."

"Of course not. What does Fan Jin think?"

"Fan Jinyou, you don't look drunk, so why are you talking like that?"

The customers in the store all complained about Fan Jinyou, which made him look very unhappy.

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and said nothing. He probably didn't need to say anything, so he just had to watch the fun.

Chen Xueru looked at Qin Zheng and gave him a subtle wink, her eyes full of praise.

As expected, Fan Jinyou couldn't stand it anymore. He put his cup on the table, glanced around the tavern, and said, "Why are you targeting me? You only know how to flatter people, right? This wine is boring. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he ignored everyone, left the tavern with a dark face and his head held high.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the tavern.

"Oh, oh, let's go."

"It's embarrassing."

Fan Jinyou, who had just walked out of the tavern, was so angry after hearing this that his legs went weak and he almost fell. He staggered for a moment, quickly steadied himself, looked towards the door of the tavern, then spat on the ground and hurried away.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Okay, the person who ruined the atmosphere has left, let's continue drinking."

Niu Ye said: "That's right, everyone continue to have fun."

The guests responded one after another.

Xu Huizhen clapped her hands, attracting the guests' attention and said, "Everyone comes here to drink, just for fun, don't think about unhappy things. Things in the tavern have always been like this in every dynasty. Tell me, how was our Peking liberated peacefully? The People's Liberation Army went south of the Yangtze River, crossed the Yangtze River, recovered Hainan Island, and drove the GMD to Taiwan. How did the GMD's troops fail? How many of their troops did we destroy? These things are all new things in the tavern! They are all fun for everyone to drink and have a good time. What do we Beijing people like most?"

Some people said: "It's a national event!"

"Yes, even though our tavern is small, we are here to care about national affairs. Now that our country is doing well and everyone can have enough to eat, we should be happy if we earn some money to drink."

At this point, she raised her voice and said, "Tell me, everyone, am I right?"

"Yes."

Teacher Xu said loudly: "The shopkeeper said it well. I'm willing to give it a try. Let's have another two taels."

Many customers also said: "Yes, I'll have another two taels too."

Qin Zheng secretly admired: "It's OK, this sister-in-law is really fierce, the boss's reputation has been established. A small tavern is like pinching snails with three fingers, pinching with her hands."

On the way back, Chen Xueru kept praising her: "This Xu Huizhen is indeed a capable person."

Qin Zheng joked with her: "Why? Are you afraid of being outdone?"

There was a hint of provocation in his tone.

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and said, "Tsk, would I be afraid?"

"Who are you? You are Chen Xueru, a famous female boss in this area!"

"Huh, you're right."

When they got home, Chen Xueru blushed and said shyly, "Please let me go today."

"Haha, it's impossible to let you go, but the number of times can be reduced by one."

"You, you are really my enemy."

Qin Zheng laughed, picked her up and said, "I love my enemy, and I can't let go of the cold stone after it's warmed up. As the saying goes, love in life is priceless."

In response, he murmured, "I'll bite you to death."

After the exercise, Chen Xueru lay on Qin Zheng's chest, her fingers drawing words irregularly, and said regretfully: "I have to go on a business trip, which will probably take ten days or half a month."

Qin Zheng was perked up and asked quickly, "Where are we going?"

He already had the answer in his mind. After all, Chen Xueru was in the silk business, and the place where she would go on business trips would most likely be Suzhou or Hangzhou.

Sure enough, the beauty did not disappoint him: "I am going to Suzhou and Hangzhou to expand my supply channels. Are you willing to let me go?"

"Baby, can I go with you?"

The beauty immediately perked up, sweeping away her previous fatigue, and asked in a tender voice, "Really?"

"Of course, no need to lie to you, I just happen to have time."

"Then it's settled. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

The beauty was overjoyed. The two of them were in the heat of passion. Although she was powerless to cope with it, she still wanted to see him every day and didn't want to suffer from lovesickness.

Qin Zheng was also very happy. The lack of tea trees in the space had always been a regret for him.

In the next half month, his regrets were made up.

In Suzhou, he searched for wild tea trees on Dongshan Mountain and had very encouraging results. He transplanted a total of more than 50 Biluochun tea trees, 30 Xueya and Haocha tea trees of different ages, many of which were old tea trees of a certain age. There were also precious tree species such as pipa, bayberry, plum, peach, ginkgo, osmanthus, chestnut, etc. He also showed off his swimming skills in Taihu Lake and introduced most of the lake seafood species in Taihu Lake into the space.
