Chapter 251: Just Going with the Flow
The other party must have tasted it before coming here.
So Xie Yuchuan wanted to know what kind of "surprise" the other party had that made him take the risk to come here.
Now that the Xie family members are exiled prisoners, if they want to stay with them for such a long time, they must have paid a large sum of money to bribe the officials who are guarding them outside.
"It has a delicate taste, rich aroma, and exquisite packaging. What I like most is that I've never seen it on the market before."
Shopkeeper Tian was straightforward and told us everything he liked.
Xie Yuchuan nodded slightly, and what he said was indeed sincere.
He reached out and pushed the candies that Tian Qing had placed in front of him back to Tian Qing. "Thank you, Shopkeeper Tian, for the trouble. My Xie family doesn't have much candies left, so we can't help the Tian family much."
Tian Qing raised his head. "But does this put the General in a difficult position? I know this is difficult, but the Master is in trouble right now, and I want to do my best to help."
"Manager Tian, please go back."
Xie Yuchuan turned to Xie Wuying and said, "It's a rare visit from Shopkeeper Tian. It's not good for him to go back empty-handed with such sincerity. Go get some sugar from the candy jar and bring it to me."
"OK."
Xie Wuying went over to wrap the candies, and Xie Wenjie stood up to help. He understood what the sixth brother meant and reminded Xie Wuying to wrap a few different kinds of candies. So the two of them picked seven or eight different kinds of candies, wrapped them in paper, and tied a knot on the outside with hay rope. Although simple, it was not shabby. They gave it to the sixth brother.
Xie Yuchuan politely gave it to Shopkeeper Tian and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Shopkeeper Tian. This is a small gift. Shopkeeper Tian, take it back and thank Tianjiabao for letting me stay overnight."
Tian Qing looked around, his eyes slightly disappointed, but he still stood up politely and bowed his head to express his gratitude: "I am unworthy of this. Tian Qing thanks the general for his generous gift on behalf of the young lady."
"Goodbye, Manager Tian." Xie Yuchuan said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, Tian Qing knew that the other party was sending him away.
The Xie family was unwilling to reveal the source of the refined sugar. Tian Qing returned to report to his host, Miss Tian, feeling very disappointed. Miss Tian looked at the "gift" that Shopkeeper Tian had brought back and smiled. "Uncle Tian, it's not your fault. They're fugitives now. It's already difficult for them to carry such good stuff with them. How could they casually tell others where it came from? Well, if you don't want to tell, don't tell. We can send more people to inquire about it later."
After saying this, he reached out to untie the knot, saying as he did so, "Uncle Tian, you've met Xie Yuchuan before. You always have a discerning eye. What do you think of him?"
Tian Qing said, "He has a heroic appearance and an extraordinary bearing. He is not an ordinary person." After a pause, he said, "Miss, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Tian Su'e smiled and said, "We are all family, so why can't we talk? Uncle Tian, just tell me."
"It is rumored that there is a god in the Xie family. Before I went to see the Xie family, I heard the officials joking about this person, saying that he has the ability to communicate with gods. The rumor is spreading like wildfire. Miss, do you think it is true now?" Tian Qing has experienced a lot at this age and always feels that the rumors may not be false. Nine out of ten times, there is always a little truth in it.
Tian Su'e turned around and smiled, "Uncle Tian, don't trust that Taoist priest too much. He said that if I could just hold off the exiles for a few more days, he could solve my problems. Maybe he was just saying it casually."
"Then Miss, you..."
"It's just a case of taking advantage of the situation and using the power of others to bully others." Tian Su'e untied the rope and opened the package. "The thieves are rampant now, and I can't rely on the officials in Yucheng. I have to keep a few more adults who can deter others so that I can hold on until my eldest brother returns. Now it's just a matter of giving away more money, which is better than letting the people in the fort die for no reason."
However, the next second after opening the package and seeing the "small gift" inside, I was speechless...

After the Tian family left, Xie Yuchuan thought for a while before Zhang Dayi came over to analyze the matter with him.
When Shopkeeper Tian said that the Tian family was willing to meet the Xie family's requirements in order to source goods, Zhang Dayi, who was listening, felt that under the current circumstances, the two families could discuss this deal.
Zhang Dayi said, "When I entered Tianjiabao, I saw that the people here are mostly young and strong. Moreover, Xiong Jiushan chose to stay here, which must be because he thinks it is safer. If the Tian family is willing, the general may be able to borrow these people."
Suppressing bandits is dangerous, but there is strength in numbers.
Zhang Dayi’s idea is that if you are going to do it, the better the chances of success are, the better.
Xie Yuchuan understood what he meant.
"What the Tian family seeks is a gift from the family god. How can I obtain it?"
After Xie Yuchuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Yes, those delicious and stamina-boosting candies were all gifts from the family gods. Even if the Xie family wanted to trade with the Tian family, they were powerless to do anything about it.
Zhang Dayi remained silent because he knew that in such an occasion, it was not appropriate for him to make suggestions regarding matters related to the Xie family's gods.
What's more, the Xie family's god had done Zhang Dayi a favor.
How could he persuade Xie Yuchuan? Otherwise, you should ask the Xie family god if he can reward you with such a holy item again.
So bad.
The masters were silent, and the guards were even more silent.
It takes people to suppress bandits.
What Mr. Zhang said makes sense.
Xie Wuying, a young man with a fearless spirit, thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Brother, sir, since the Tian family is willing to help with the candy, can we also ask the household deity if she needs anything right now, or if she needs some incense or offerings? We'll try to get it for the deity, and see if we can get some candy from her?"
After Xie Wuying finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.
I have to say that at critical moments, Xie Hezhi is the bravest!
Zhang Dayi clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea."
He turned to look at Xie Yuchuan, "General, why don't you give it a try?"
Xie Yuchuan looked at Xie Wuying with serious eyes. The latter was frightened by being seen by his sixth brother and thought he had said something wrong.
In fact, he had thought about what Xie Wuying said in his mind just now.
only……
The Xie family's god is now attending a banquet far away.
The household god is busy, but he bothers him with such a small matter. Isn't it a bad idea?
Ever since seeing the "world" of the household god with his own eyes, Xie Yuchuan has become more aware of the huge gap between the two sides.
For a god living in that kind of world, such things should be just "small matters".
He bothers with trivial matters.
Xie Yuchuan always felt something was not right.
His thoughts became confused and his mind became heavy.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Tu Huan's cell phone, which was far away, started ringing.
Tu Huan, who had just returned from a walk in the villa with Jiang Li, heard a WeChat notification sound on her phone as soon as she entered the holiday villa.
A string of garbled characters came from Xie Yuchuan, more than a dozen of them were sent in a row.
Tu Huan stopped at the entrance.
A puzzled look on his face.
What could make Xie Yuchuan so troubled?
Could something have happened?
She opened the dialog box and saw that she had just sent a message when a new message was pushed in.
"Xie Yuchuan: How can I have the nerve to tell the family god that I just want so much candy?"
Tu Huan: ???
