Mr. Yuan could not guess that Gu Shun could read his mind even though he was beaten to death. At this moment, he had already seen what he thought in his heart without missing a single point.

When Gu Shun learned that he was the prince of the Great Qi court and came to Jiangnan City to test and win over the Gu family, it might have a huge impact on the situation in Jiangnan City. Gu Shun was even more alert to him.

"Since Mr. Yuan has any hidden secrets, I am rude." Gu Shun bowed slightly, and had already made up his mind that he must stay away from Zhang Yian.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Yuan waved his hand, and said nothing.

Boom-

A thunder sounded in the sky, and the pouring rain poured down, as fine as silk, washing away the mossy-covered stone steps.

The pedestrians in the rain were caught off guard and were exposed to the rain. They hid quickly under the eaves of shops on both sides of the street.

People holding oil paper umbrellas are walking in the rain in a hurry, enjoying the comfort of the rain.

As the rain came, the business of the tea stall suddenly became a little colder. Many ladies and ladies, under the care of servants, either boarded a sedan chair or boarded a carriage and left.

The owner of the tea stall wrapped the washed white towel around his neck and said to the three people sitting at the tea table: "Several guests, my tea stall is about to close. Please finish the tea quickly, so I can pack the tea set."

"It's just afternoon, why is it closed?" Mr. Yuan asked strangely.

"It's raining too much, no one wants to come out, and there are no customers waiting, so I'd better go back early to rest. Before going out today, my wife asked me to go back early today, saying that she wanted to give me a surprise. Hehe, I don't know what she is going to do."

"These two people ordered two bowls of tea and sat for a day. The position of the two made me less money. If the tea ordered by that man was very expensive, they would have driven them away long ago. If everyone was like them, I wouldn't have to do this business anymore.

Alas, the rain is so heavy, not many people come out to have tea, so it’s useless to waste it here, so hurry up and warm up the kang with your wife.”

Zhang Yian took out a few copper coins from his arms, counted them in his hand, and handed them to the boss, saying, "I'm sorry to the boss again today. This is tea money, and I paid with Mr. Yuan's."

The boss took the copper plate, put it in his hand and weighed it. He counted it and frowned and said, "This guest official, this money is not enough."

Zhang Yian said in confusion: "Isn't it two cents for a bowl of tea or ten cents for a pot of tea? Mr. Yuan and I only drank one pot of tea and a bowl. Here are eleven cents, why is it not enough?"

"This guest drank the best West Lake Longjing tea. The tea prices have risen sharply recently. These precious tea varieties are naturally more expensive than the local ordinary tea."

"How much does that cost?" Zhang Yian said in a uncertain tone. He had a limited budget, and the money was originally the money given to him by his mother, but he saved him to drink tea and read books here. When he heard it was precious tea, Zhang Yian felt even more at ease.

Before the boss could speak, Mr. Yuan said, "I drink this tea, I'll pay."

Zhang Yian refused: "Mr. Yuan has been explaining the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period and today. Yian has no choice but to repay him, so he still has to invite a cup of tea."

The boss said: "This Longjing Tea originally had to charge 200 quotas, but depending on your frequent visits, I will charge you 199 quotas."

Hearing that he wanted so much money, Zhang Yian's face suddenly became embarrassed. He didn't have so much money, and 200 cents were almost worth his mother's three-day wages.

But I have just made a boast about Haikou, and it would be rude if I ask others to pay again.

But Zhang Yian still has a total of more than ten cents left on him. The money was given to him by his mother before leaving yesterday morning.

In addition to these, he also had notes written to him by Gu Shun at that time. I heard that the notes could be used at will in Jiangnan City, and the effect was comparable to black cards.

However, Zhang Yian quickly rejected this idea. He could not always take advantage of Gu Shun. Although the two were friends, he did not intend to use this note.

After some ideological struggle, Zhang Yian asked embarrassedly: "Boss, I wonder if you can take credit here. I really didn't bring so much money today. Will I repay you if I come tomorrow? Don't worry, I will come here every day in the future and I will definitely not be able to escape."

The boss looked bad and said, "I don't care whether you come or not, but you know the rules of my tea stall. They are written on the sign and will not be on credit."

"Boss, you can be compatible."

"No, if you set this precedent for you, how can I do this business? I think you don't wear rough clothes. You should be the young master of a wealthy family. Isn't this money either? If it really doesn't work, it's enough for your servant to go back and get it."

Zhang Yian is alone, so there is no servant.

Just as Mr. Yuan was about to pay, Gu Shun stood up first and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't panic, I'll go and say a few words to this boss, and I'll go back."

After saying that, Gu Shun pulled the confused tea stall owner to the side, muttering in his ears that he didn't know what he said.

After hearing this, the owner of the tea stall turned pale in an instant, and he bowed to Gu Shun repeatedly, looking very panicked.

Not long after, Gu Shun and the tea stall owner returned. The tea stall owner said to Zhang Yian: "Please forgive me for not recognizing Mr. Zhang as the young master's friend. I'm so embarrassed to charge you money. This is your tea money, and the tea money from yesterday."

Zhang Yian was very surprised by the boss's actions and waved his hand and said, "I can't ask for this money. I am me. Although I am friends with Young Master Gu, I can't take advantage of him. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money from Hulongjing."

Seeing that Zhang Yian refused to accept the money, the tea stall owner rushed to force the money into his hand and said, "Young Master Zhang said this, isn't this a scattering me? The young shopkeeper had specially ordered that as long as it was Young Master Zhang, he would not charge any money."

Zhang Yian was at a loss and said, "But, I really can't ask for this money."

The boss was really stubborn and suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "I beg Mr. Zhang to take the money away. It is not easy for us to make money outside. I also accept the favor of the young shopkeeper as the young shopkeeper if he can set up a stall in front of the Gu Mansion. If the young shopkeeper knows that I even took Mr. Zhang's money, wouldn't this openly disobey him?"

The tea stall owner was stunned by the kneeling of Zhang Yian. He hurriedly helped the boss up from the ground and said unbearable, "I understand."

Mr. Yuan was very surprised by the boss's actions. A commoner could be so obedient and convinced by the young master of the Gu family, and even kneeled down to complete the Gu family's in-depth influence and terrifying execution.

If everyone in Daqi could be as convinced by the court as this boss, why should Daqi worry about not being prosperous and prosperous in the country and the people?

Mr. Yuan then asked tentatively: "The young shopkeeper of the Gu family doesn't know whether you have collected the money. Why do you have to be so serious? You can just take the money secretly."

After saying that, Mr. Yuan took away his usual money from his waist and threw it to him, "This is my tea money, and the rest is used as a reward."

It is said that wealth is moving, and Mr. Yuan took out so much money to see if the tea stall owner is really convinced by the Gu family or just pretending.

"How can this work? People are doing it and God is watching. I am always being taken care of by the young shopkeeper when I can sell tea in front of the Gu Mansion. I am sorry, no one can be sorry to the young shopkeeper.

You go to this street to inquire which one has never received the favor of the Gu family. If you make even this little money secretly, you will be too unconscience-free. I must not ask for this money."

When Mr. Yuan heard this, he became even more afraid of the Gu family.

There is an old saying that the people have not been able to follow the crowd. The Gu family is not just a small favor. The people praised the people in Jiangnan City, and they all admired them so much. It seems that this trip is worth it.

The rain was much smaller than before.

The tea stall owner quickly packed up the tea set and rolled up the cloth on the shop that was shaded from the sun and rain, so that he could open it when he continued to set up the stall tomorrow, but he deliberately left the roll on the top of the three of them.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll leave first. In the future, Mr. Zhang welcomes me to have tea. I will definitely let you taste the best tea here."

Watching the tea stall owner leave, Zhang Yian said to Gu Shun: "Thank you Brother Zhou for your help just now. I can't ask for these tea money, so I put it on the tea table and wait until the boss will take it away tomorrow."

"Young Master Zhang, you are the friend of the young shopkeeper. The young shopkeeper has given instructions, so we, as servants, must do it. And these books, why don't I go back with Mr. Zhang and help send these books back to the young master's residence."
