Chapter 89
It was already getting hot in the south of the Yangtze River in April. Early in the morning of this day, before the summer heat came, Yin Yong took Yin Lang and several guards accompanying the merchants to a tea garden outside the city of Yixing.
Yixing's Yangxian tea is famous throughout the country, especially loved by dignitaries, and is also a fine tea that nobles in foreign countries compete for.
Yin Yong bought a tea mountain here and handed it over to reliable tea farmers to manage.
Along the way, Yin Yong taught Yin Lang about tea, including how to grow and make tea, how to transport and protect tea, and even how to taste tea and taste life.
The old man had been traveling around the country with the previous generation of the Yin family's patriarch since he was ten years old. No matter what kind of business it was, he could talk about it in detail. Although the Yin family's library contained various business books, books were dead. Even if a person read all those books, he might not benefit as much as listening to Yin Yong's talks.
Yin Lang's attitude towards the old man has also changed a lot.
When he was still living in the second house, the old man was just the head of the Yin family to him, a distant grandfather who treated him like a distant relative despite their blood relationship. Yin Lang had no hatred or other feelings towards the old man. Even after he was successfully adopted into the first house, Yin Lang was only deeply grateful to his sister Yin Hui, and kept a distance from the old man in his heart.
Later, after Yin Wen was punished, the old man began to keep him by his side and taught him how to run the business.
Both of them knew that they were a grandparent and grandson who were brought together by chance for various reasons, and that their family relationship was not pure. Yin Yong did not show much affection for Yin Lang, and he treated Yin Lang more like teaching a disciple. Yin Lang was also not able to be as attentive and flattering as a filial son and grandson, and he treated the old man like a teacher, with more respect than intimacy.
But any emotion in the world comes from relationships.
As they spent more and more time together, and as his respect and admiration for the old man grew deeper, Yin Lang treated him more and more naturally. He would considerately hold the old man's arm when getting on and off the boat, no longer worrying about whether this action would be misunderstood by the old man as deliberate flattery.
Yin Yong felt relieved that the young man was free and willing to be filial to him. He no longer had to worry about whether the young man would dislike him when taking care of his grandson.
Back and forth, the estrangement between the grandparents and grandchildren caused by years of unfamiliarity disappeared unknowingly along the way.
"Grandfather, have a drink of water."
After strolling on the tea mountain for half an hour, Yin Lang took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to the old man.
Yin Yong took it with a smile, looked at the mountain scenery below, raised his head and took two sips.
Yin Lang also took two sips, replaced the lid, and put it back around his waist.
After a short rest, the group continued on their journey. Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly. Large dark clouds suddenly floated over from the horizon. The rain had already started, and a white rain fog formed between the sky and the earth, which quickly approached this side with the thick clouds.
"It's a rain shower. Let's go to the tea farmers to take shelter first." Yin Yong smiled and said without any hurry.
When everyone went down the mountain, Yin Yong and Yin Lang walked in the middle, with two guards in front, behind, and on both sides, for a total of eight people, including the four that the Feng family had secretly squeezed in.
