"Boss He, please take a seat!"
Cheng Kang asked He Dafeng to sit down and then asked someone to serve tea.
He Dafeng was confused. What kind of development was this?
The servants in the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion were all ferocious and acted so quickly that he didn't even have time to take out Lord Ji's letter before they were knocked unconscious and brought to the Marquis' Mansion.
When he arrived at the Earl's Mansion, he wanted to take out Lord Ji's letter again, but was brought here again without saying a word.
When we got here, we found that the master was much more amiable than the servants.
"Uncle, this is my melon..."
Boss He didn't dare to sit down. He wanted to carry Lord Ji out, but was interrupted again.
"I'm sorry, Boss He. It was our subordinates who acted recklessly! Please sit down first. I have something to ask you. Don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble."
Although Cheng Kang's words were kind, they still scared Boss He. He quickly sat down aside, not daring to use the whole chair, only half of it.
"Boss He, are you from Yunzhou Prefecture?"
"Yes, Master. I'm from Yunzhou. Although I've been doing business everywhere, my home is in Yunzhou."
"Is this melon shipped from Xinghua Village in Taoyuan County, Yunzhou Prefecture?"
"Yes, Master. Master, the people who arrested the peasants said that the melons made people sick. That can't be right. This is the magistrate of Taoyuan County..."
"Don't worry, no bad guys were eaten. It was just a mistake made by the subordinates. Boss He, have some tea!"
Cheng Kang once again interrupted Boss He who was about to bring up Ji Mingxuan.
However, this time at least Boss He was able to relax a little, and there was even tea to drink. He needed to drink some tea to calm down first.
"Boss He, you may not know that I am also from Yunzhou. I left home when I was young and never returned. Now that I am old, I suddenly ate the watermelons grown by people from my hometown, so I feel a little homesick."
Cheng Kang smiled and said.
"So Uncle is also from Yunzhou!"
Boss He now breathed a sigh of relief. "Fellow countryman, great. It seems we don't need to move Lord Ji out for the time being."
"Yes. My ancestral home is in Taoyuan County, Yunzhou Prefecture. I left home thirty years ago and haven't returned yet. Sigh... I plan to go back to visit my relatives soon."
Cheng Kang sighed slowly, his face full of homesickness, which didn't seem fake at all.
Boss He was taken aback when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect Uncle to be from Taoyuan County too. These melons are grown in Xinghua Village in Taoyuan County. If Uncle were to return home soon, he could go to the Cheng family in Xinghua Village and pick some melons himself. They still have a few batches of watermelons, and soon they'll have cantaloupes and sweet melons. And Miss Cheng's grapes should be ripe next month. I asked her if she wanted to sell them, but she said no, she wanted to make wine with them!"
"So the one who planted the melons was a girl? I wonder if the Cheng in this Miss Cheng is the same as my Cheng? If so, then maybe we are relatives!"
Cheng Kang said with a smile, holding the handrail even tighter.
Boss He didn't notice it at all. Instead, he felt that the uncle was becoming more and more amiable, and he became more relaxed.
"Uncle, this kind of melon is from the Cheng family and Wang Cheng, but I heard that they don't have many relatives and their family is very small. This old man was the son of a landlord a few decades ago, but I don't know how he became a farmer later. It's been so many years, it's not easy for me to pry into his private affairs! Hehehe..."
Boss He chuckled and then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He finished it in one gulp and poured himself another cup.
If Cheng Kang had the energy, he would have crushed the armrest by now.
