After Yan Xia bought the jade pendant, she went to the county government office.

This time he didn't prepare a wallet, but took out two taels of silver and handed it to Xie Yanan.

"Excuse me, sir, please allow me to meet shopkeeper Deng."

Xie Yanan glanced at Yan Xia.

Didn't answer.

"You can see serious criminals in prison whenever you want."

Yan Xia grimaced.

"Master, I really don't have much money left, please be accommodating."

Xie Yanan scanned Yan Xia up and down and saw that she only wore a plain silver hairpin on her head, and the bracelet on her hand was gold, not pure gold, but probably gilded.

Then it's not worth anything.

but.

Xie Yanan suddenly stood up from the chair.

His eyes were fixed on Yan Xia's waist.

This jade pendant is actually made of red jade, with no flaws at all. No matter how cheap it is, it only costs a few hundred taels.

It just so happened that he lost another bet last night.

If you get this jade pendant, then...

"I see that the jade pendant around your waist looks good."

"Master, I really can't give you this jade pendant. I..."

Yan Xia covered her jade pendant and backed away.

Shi Qi shouted loudly on the side.

"It's your honor for my elder brother to have your jade pendant. Don't you want to go in and see Shopkeeper Deng? Bring the jade pendant and see it whenever you want. I tell you, don't be shameless."

There were only three of them in the duty room, and the other officials were sent away by Shi Qi.

Xie Yanan didn't want to force it, but Shi Qi's words made him stand on the fire. His face looked a little unkind, but he didn't say anything.

If I could get this jade pendant and pawn it, I would definitely have a great time gambling tonight.

Maybe after making a lot of money, he would never play again.

Buy a big house, have a few beautiful concubines, and enjoy yourself.

"There's nothing I can't get for what I want. If you don't give it to me, you won't be able to meet this man. Also, he has a bit of a tough mouth. It seems like I need to try the torture device."

Xie Yanan followed Shi Qi's words and sang with a black face.

"Here, here, can't I give it to you? Please stop hitting shopkeeper Deng, sir. He is so old and can't bear the punishment. Here, I'll give you the jade pendant. Let me go in and see him."

Yan Xia took off the jade pendant and handed it to Xie Yanan with a flattering smile.

"Xiao Qi, take her there."

"yes, Sir."

Before entering the cell, Yan Xia gave Shi Qi instructions. "Remember what I said, don't mess with it."

"Yes."

"Brother Deng." Yan Xia came to the third cell and shouted.

"Shopkeeper Yan, you, you are here." Compared with the last time, Deng Qiuzhi was even more haggard and had many new injuries on his body. Yan Xia's expression was a little serious.

"Don't worry, you'll be out soon. I've already thought of a way..."

She revealed her plan to Deng Qiuzhi.

He left after a while.

In the afternoon, Yan Xia put on ugly makeup and went to Xu Mansion with the freshly made colorful fruit tea.

The concierge announced and let her in. The maid led her all the way until she stopped in a courtyard.

"Please come in."

The maid stood at the door, motionless.

Yan Xia pushed open the door of the main room.

There was a large round table inside, and several people were sitting on the table. The person sitting at the head table was Mrs. Xu, and the people beside her turned out to be the family of three that they met yesterday.

"Mr. Yan, why are you here?"

Mrs. Xu was very kind to Yan Xia. It seemed that the flattery Yan Xia had given her yesterday had made her happy. When she spoke, the eyes of the man on the round table shrank sharply. He stared at Yan Xia.

After looking at it for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked away.

"I wanted to come at chenshi, but something unexpected happened. I was just thinking about making you an ice drink, so I was delayed for a while. It's hot in summer. Even if I sit still, I feel sweat pouring down my body. I must have The old lady should be the same, so she specially prepared a cup of colorful fruit tea to relieve you from the heat."

Yan Xia walked to the table and took out the fruit tea from the food box.

Fortunately, she specially prepared a few extra cups, fearing that there would be too many people to drink. There were five cups in total, and Mrs. Xu had one cup.

One cup each for a family of three.

There's still one cup left.

Mrs. Xu is a bit fat, which is generally true for people who love sweets. In addition, she is old and inactive. When summer comes, it is even too hot to sleep.

Xu Zhixian was filial and was afraid that she would catch cold, so he only allowed his servants to put some ice cubes in her room to cool her down at noon.

Once past noon, the ice will be removed.

The time when Yan Xia arrived happened to be in the afternoon, and Mrs. Xu had a layer of sweat on her forehead.

When she heard this, she smiled even more happily.

"How to drink this? Colorful fruit tea, is it made from fruits?" Mrs. Xu held up the bamboo cup and looked left and right, not knowing how to drink it.

Yan Xia simply picked up the remaining cup and showed it to her. There was a short tube in the cup, which just exposed part of the cup. It was made of thin bamboo and was held in the mouth like a modern straw.

As soon as you take a sip, the fruit tea immediately hits you, because it is chilled, and after one sip, the heat is gone.

Yan Xia sighed involuntarily.

Mrs. Xu looked at it with greed, and imitated her actions and took a sip.

"Oh - the taste is so, so wonderful."

She had never read a book, so she didn't know how to praise something delicious. She tried all her vocabulary and could only say two words: "Excellent".

"Grandma, I want to drink too." The girl said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, Jiaojiao also drinks. Wenshan, each of you can get a glass. Use this bamboo to suck it, and the juice will come up as soon as you suck it."

Mrs. Xu taught them how to drink. She didn't know how to drink it just now. She looked like a child who had just learned a few pinyin and was showing off to his parents.

Yan Xia wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

"Wow, grandma tastes delicious. It's sweet, bitter, fruity, and has the fragrance of tea. How did you make it?"

The girl's eyes widened.

"This tea is the concentrated juice I extracted from eighteen kinds of fruits. I blended it with the prepared vine tea, then added a little refined sugar water, stirred evenly, and mixed the fruit pieces to make this cup of colorful fruit tea. You can drink it At the back, you can remove the bamboo tube and drink and eat at the same time.”

Yan Xia explained to her.

"It's wonderful. It's really wonderful. No wonder the business of your shop is so good, Mrs. Yan."

Madam Xu couldn't put it down and kept drinking this fruit tea.

"It's really good. I can't get such delicious food at the border. Mom, I won't leave. It's better to go to Jiangnan." Xu Wenshan once again held Mrs. Xu's arm and acted coquettishly.

She is clearly in her thirties, yet she still behaves like a little girl. She seems to be extremely favored.

Yan Xia thought.

"Don't leave, don't leave. Mother said, your eldest brother will support you all your life. From now on, you and Jiaojiao will stay in the house with mother, enjoy the flowers and feed the fish. If you feel bored, we will go to the village to play. Play, or go to the temple for a while."
