Chapter 242: County Magistrate Fang’s nephew?
In the Green Bean Shop, Baoya was attracted by the various pastries displayed on the counter.
These pastries are delicately made, many of them are filled with mung bean filling, or mung bean cakes of various flavors with other ingredients added.
As expected, the main product of Green Bean Pavilion is green bean cake or green bean fillings. Baoya felt that she had discovered a shocking secret.
Under the puzzled gaze of the owner of Green Bean Pavilion, she pulled Jingzhen aside.
She stood on tiptoe and whispered mysteriously into Jingzhen's ear, "Little Brother Jing, at the Red Bean House in Ping'an Town, red bean cake is their specialty; at the Green Bean House here, green bean cake is their main dish."
"Do you think we'll encounter other 'douxuan' when we pass through the next town? Like yellow beans, black beans, or something like that?"
She was really curious, and her clear eyes blinked at Jingzhen.
Jing Zhen smiled slightly and reached out to pinch her soft cheeks: "It's very likely."
In fact, the little girl guessed it right.
Nan Xuan, this unreliable man, opened a main store in the capital called Baidouxuan, while the branches in various places in Dakang Kingdom were set up very haphazardly.
There are Red Bean Xuan, Green Bean Xuan, Yellow Bean Xuan, Black Bean Xuan, White Bean Xuan, Purple Bean Xuan, and the most outrageous one is Flower Bean Xuan.
Well, just play anyway.
"My two little guests, would you like to buy some snacks?"
The shopkeeper became a little impatient when he saw the two of them looking at each other for a long time and then going over to chat.
"Buy it." Jingzhen said.
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Baoya: "What do you want to eat? Or, do you want one of each?"
Baoya shook her head, stood in front of the counter, sucking her little finger, looking at it for a long time, and only ordered two items.
"I want these two, three dollars each."
"We've never sold it this way in our shop," the shopkeeper frowned. "We always sell it by the kilogram, with a minimum order of one kilogram."
"Then... no."
The little girl's face fell. She wanted to buy it for herself, one for her grandfather, Brother Rong, Brother Xiaojing, and Master, and of course for herself, so six pieces would be just right.
But she couldn't afford one pound. She couldn't spend the money her grandmother gave her all at once, as she hadn't even arrived in the capital yet.
At this time, Rong He and Nan Xuan also entered the store.
When Rong He heard what Bao Ya and the shopkeeper said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he reached out to pull Nan Xuan's sleeve.
As a result, Nan Xuan took a step back in disgust, and Rong He missed.
But Rong He didn't think much about it at this time, and said excitedly: "Go and get your apprentice out of the way now, so I can go buy some snacks for Baoya!"
He finished speaking, but Nan Xuan didn't move.
Rong He urged: "Go quickly!"
Nan Xuan still didn't move, then stretched out his hand towards him.
Rong He was even more confused: "What for?"
Nan Xuan: "This is a different price."
Rong He: ...
"Didn't I just buy you a candied haws?"
"So I just listened to you? You asked me to follow them into this shop, so I came in. But now you want me to get rid of Jingzhen, you have to give me extra money."
Nan Xuan acted as if it was a matter of course, which made Rong He's forehead veins throb.
"you……!"
Rong He didn't know what to say: "But I'm only eight years old!"
"So I don't ask for more, two taels of silver will be enough."
Rong He: ...
This guy is really thick-skinned.
Okay, just treat him as a fool with lots of money.
"I'll give you five taels. Send Jingzhen away right now!"
Rong He now felt uncomfortable when he saw Jingzhen and Baoya sticking together.
Baoya is his newly adopted little cousin. Why does this young man named Jingzhen take Baoya around everywhere as soon as he comes?
Have you asked his little cousin for his opinion? !
Jingzhen is just Baoya's senior brother, but he is her cousin, cousin! They are blood relatives!
He swiftly took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into Nan Xuan's hand. Nan Xuan took the silver and walked over in two or three steps without waiting for Rong He to speak.
He patted Jingzhen's shoulder and said, "Come, come, I have something to tell you in private."
Jingzhen was just about to buy some snacks for Baoya. When he heard him calling him, he frowned and said, "Wait a minute."
"Oh, I can't wait any longer. It's urgent." Nan Xuan said, "Here, I'll give you two taels of silver. Just to buy a little time of yours."
Jing Zhen looked up at him and said, "Master, I'll give you ten taels of silver. Will you wait here for me?"
However, after all, he gave Baoya a few instructions and decided to go out with Nanxuan first.
Although this guy is usually a bit unreliable, he never delays important matters. He was afraid that Nan Xuan had something important to tell him, and he was joking like this because Bao Ya was there.
Baoya was very sensible and nodded towards Jingzhen and Nanxuan: "Master, Brother Jing, you guys go ahead. Brother Rong and I will be waiting for you here."
Jingzhen also nodded lightly in response to her, then followed Nanxuan out the door.
Rong He took the opportunity to come to Bao Ya.
"Sister Baoya, do you want to buy some snacks? Whichever one do you want to eat, your cousin will buy it for you."
On the other side, Nan Xuan took Jing Zhen out of the shop to give Rong He and Bao Ya some time to spend together.
However, just as the two of them reached the door, a shrill male voice suddenly rang out, startling them.
"It's you?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Jingzhen looked up when he heard the voice. Standing at the door of Green Bean Pavilion was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen. He was wearing gorgeous clothes, a jade crown and jade belt, and had fair skin and tender flesh. At first glance, he was obviously a playboy from a wealthy family.
But he had no impression that he knew such a person.
Frowning, he asked, "Who are you?"
The dandy young man seemed offended and immediately became angry.
"Don't you know who I am?! Why are you acting like a grandson?"
But Jingzhen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked around him and was about to go out.
The young dandy boy became furious and reached out to pull him.
He said, "Hey! Why are you so arrogant? I'm just the nephew of a small-time county magistrate. What's there to be proud of?"
Jingzhen looked at him as if he were a fool, and at the same time pulled his arm away to avoid his pull.
The dandy young man missed the opportunity, feeling both ashamed and angry. "Don't think you can bring down our family with your little tricks! I'm telling you, even if my father isn't the prefect anymore, our Zheng family still has plenty of money!"
Oh, now he finally remembered.
Previously, in order to bribe the people in several villages in Ping'an Town with grain and inquire about his whereabouts, Ye Jinghua colluded with the governor of Huzhou and embezzled grain from the Huzhou Changping Warehouse.
At that time, he used the identity of Fang Huan, the nephew of Fang Chengbing, the magistrate of Ping'an Town, to submit evidence and petition to the upright chief clerk beside the prefect.
Jingzhen looked at the dandy young man in front of him, whose eyes were blazing with anger, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
What a coincidence, I can meet the beloved son of the former prefect while shopping.
"Brother Xiaojing, what's wrong?"
Behind him, Baoya's worried and soft voice sounded.
