After some simple jokes, they brought the topic back to the main topic.

Little Paimeng stroked his chin and said, "By the way, is Jiaming's family situation really that complicated?"

She looked at Ying, as if trying to find agreement: "With Jiaming's cheerful personality... plus he is nimble and works carefully. It's hard to imagine any contradictions..."

"Well... how should I put it..." Zhigui didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything more. "Since he is ready to tell you about this matter, I, an uncle, will not say anything more.

I see that you two are of similar age, so you might have something in common. If you are willing, please help me persuade him... I'm counting on you to do this."

Since it was a matter between friends, Ying naturally had no reason to refuse. However, considering that it was a family matter, she also felt it was a bit tricky, so she could only agree for the time being: "Well, I'll try."

She didn't dare to guarantee that she could help. After all, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and these disputes are the most difficult to deal with.

Maybe it would be better to let Arlecino or Saphir come?

Ying thought of those two people, but quickly rejected it in her heart. No, the situation was still different. Although the Fireplace House was a home, it had strict rules and there was an always visible red line that restricted everyone.

The punishments and treatments for crossing the line are extreme and not suitable for ordinary families.

Jiaming's family is most likely an ordinary family. This kind of family has rules but not many, and is maintained by family affection rather than rules, hierarchy and status.

This kind of household chores is the most difficult to deal with because there is no standard answer.

Paimeng didn't think too much about it. She smiled and said, "Uncle, if you have time, why don't you make a small flag for us. Just write on it - Helping others is a pleasure!"

This was said as if the matter had been resolved.

"Then I will really ask someone to do it. Do you have any other requirements? Do you want any more words to be printed?" Zhigui asked half-jokingly.

This joke immediately scared Paimeng away. She waved her hands hurriedly: "No way? I was just joking..."

"Hahaha, your tone is so similar to Jiaming's." Zhigui couldn't help laughing out loud, and Ying also laughed. Although Paimon can't fight, she is a real funny person. With her around along the way, it will indeed be a lot easier.

Ying sometimes wonders, would this journey be better without Paimon’s company?

The answer is no. Without Paimon, she would not have been able to complete such a long journey so easily. She might have been trapped and died in some ruins in the desert, or lost in the seabed somewhere in Fontaine.

Never underestimate the power of companionship. Even if it is just mutual companionship between two people, it is an indispensable force that is enough to support you and keep you standing in the world without falling.

After laughing, you will feel much better. Zhigui sighed and looked at Ying and Paimon's cups: "Is there any more tea? Do you want me to add some more?"

"No need. We finally got here, and we want to go to the pier to take a look. We saw a lot of stalls on the way here." Paimeng declined. She wanted to go shopping. As she spoke, she started to act coquettishly with Ying again, "Maybe there will be kites that Liyue Harbor doesn't have!"

"You are good at arrangements." Ying put one hand on her waist and glanced at her friend. This one sentence arranged everything that was to come clearly. He really was worthy of being the prodigal king Paimeng.

Seeing that the two had other plans, Zhigui stopped trying to persuade them to stay: "Okay, then please do as you please. Tell me if you want more tea, and if you want to take a break, you can sit as long as you want."

Anyway, it's the Lantern Festival, and there's not much to do at the escort agency, so it's a great time for guests to have a rest.

After sitting here for a while, Ying and Xiao Paimeng stood up and said goodbye to Zhigui. It turned out that one should go shopping early, otherwise the atmosphere would not be there.

The two walked towards the pier, but after turning a corner, they saw a familiar figure.

The mature woman wearing a black silk tight-fitting dress, a green feather cape, a bun, and red-framed glasses, who else could it be but Xianyun?

Seeing Xianyun was obviously unexpected for the two of them. Paimeng couldn't help but speak first: "Why is it you?!"

"What are you saying? Are you not happy to see me?" Xianyun was also a sharp-tongued person. He said nothing nice from the beginning and the tension immediately rose.

Ying greeted him very politely: "Hello, Master Liuyunjiefeng."

Xianyun was very pleased with her behavior, and immediately used it to teach Paimeng: "Learn from them, this is how you should respect your elders."

Paimeng wouldn't fall for it. If she had to say which immortal she was least afraid of, it would definitely be this woman. After all, the other immortals were more or less pretentious, but Xianyun was the only one who had been humiliated several times in front of her.

Basically, every time there was a quarrel with Safir, Xianyun was always the one who suffered. However, because of their relationship, no matter how big the quarrel was, no one would take it to heart. It just so happened that the two immortals who were closest to Safir were her and Aping.

Ah Ping is a steady person, so when she suffers a setback, she becomes a idler.

After being humiliated again and again, Xianyun's status as an immortal has long been shattered. Although Safir's status has also been almost reduced, Safir is strong and she is right when she can fight. Paimon has not yet found anyone who is willing to offend Safir for her, so when facing Safir, she mainly acts obediently and well-behaved.

And meet Xianyun...

Hehe, just hide to Saphir before getting beaten.

Anyway, if these two people collide with each other, there will be chaos and no one will care about this little guy.

For this reason, Paimeng crossed his arms arrogantly, "You're still relying on your age..." She acted like a peer, "Xianyun, shouldn't you be staying in your cave, tinkering with your mechanical kite? How can you think of traveling far away?"

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes to glance at the other person's feet and found a strange box on the ground. She frowned again: "There is such a big box next to you...ah, you are...you are shopping!"

"So what? What does the fact that Qixing introduced Fontaine technology to hold a kite competition have to do with me? In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would compete with secular trends, or even get angry?" Xianyun had been provoked by the little guy more than once or twice, and he had long been immune to it. Every time after being provoked, he would go to Saphir, and then he would suffer.

She had already figured it out. This little guy was very bad. She would tell Safir to punish him severely next time she had the chance.

Paimeng didn't know that the woman in front of him was already thinking about how to punish him. She immediately passed the buck and pointed out the other two immortals: "It's not my guess! It was Lishui and Xieyue who said it! They gave themselves awkward names... Not easy to remember at all."

Ying took a deep look at the little girl. This Paimeng... is very easy to be a traitor. She is the one who confessed without being asked.

Paimeng remembered what Jie Hu and Hou Zhang had asked him to do, and hurriedly continued, "Anyway, those two came to the city to look for you, and asked us to say hello to you."

After hearing this, Xianyun's face suddenly changed. Oh no! Ever since coming to Liyue Harbor, time has passed a lot faster day by day. How could he have forgotten about those two old guys!

"Xianyun?" Paimeng noticed something was wrong.

Ying also looked at Xianyun's expression, which was three parts of surprise, three parts of panic, two parts of sudden realization, one part of embarrassment, and one part of being at a loss...

The combined expressions are always so... vivid. She coughed lightly: "Could it be..."

Xianyun's eyes moved rapidly, and he began to think of a remedy: should he bring some magical herbs to those two? Or... tea leaves?

Thinking of tea leaves, Xianyun's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes! Tea leaves! Isn't Safir's Golden Tea Workshop nearby?

Lishui and Xueyue occasionally came to Liyue Harbor and once drank golden tea at the Yanshang Teahouse. They praised the tea highly.

Unfortunately, the supply of Golden Tea was limited, and even Zhongli himself couldn't drink much, let alone any extra to supply to others.

But Xianyun knew that although the output of Jinming was not high, it was definitely not low. After all, each tea tree would produce one patch of tea, and the tea trees in Chenyu Valley were connected into a patch.

The main reason for its scarcity is that after Golden Tea is produced, it is packaged and sold to various countries, so that only a few boxes can be delivered to Yanshang Tea House every month.

It is for this reason that golden tea is so ridiculously expensive. If Zhongli wasn’t so thick-skinned, these immortals might not be able to drink it often.

Thinking of this, Xianyun coughed lightly and said, "I suddenly had an idea and remembered that I need to buy some things. You may wait here for a while. I will be back soon."

After saying that, she walked quickly in one direction.

Seeing that she left without even taking the things, Paimon quickly exclaimed: "Huh? Wait, you're just leaving us to show you the things?"

Unfortunately, her words were simply ignored by Xianyun.

Paimon sighed helplessly: "This woman comes and goes like the wind, she is so free."

Ying thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Paimeng, you stay and watch the box. I'll go and take a look."

"Hey! Don't learn so fast in a place like this!" Paimeng was unhappy. Looking at the box...what's so good about it? This is so boring. She still wants to go shopping!

But seeing that Ying had made up her mind, Paimeng could only nod helplessly: "You have to come back soon! I... I'm afraid someone will come and snatch it away!"

Ying followed Xianyun forward, and after turning a few corners, she saw her jump up, climb over a wall and enter a fully enclosed yard.

Yes, it is completely enclosed with no entrance or exit at all.

If you don't look carefully, no one might know that there is such a place hidden in Yilongbu.

At first, Ying thought that Xianyun jumped in because he had no sense of public morality. It was not until she turned around and almost got lost and couldn't find the door that she realized that she had to climb over the wall to get in.

She looked around to make sure no one was watching her, so she quietly found a place to stand on, then slowly climbed to the top of the wall and looked inside.

I was shocked when I saw that Xianyun was talking to a man inside.

That man was none other than Nicholas of the Fatui, one of Saphir's men.

Nicholas was embarrassed: "Sister Yun, it's not that I don't want to help you, but... it's the Lantern Festival now, and we also have orders... you asked for two big boxes right away... where can we get them for you...

How about you take some more ordinary ones and consider them as your Lantern Festival gifts? This time, Jin Ming is really out of stock."

Nicholas was not lying. Jin Ming was indeed out of stock. The new batch had not been produced yet, and the ones that were already produced had been shipped. This workshop did not have any of them now, and he could not get them even if he forced his request.

After hearing this, Xianyun sighed and said, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

"Sister, you are my biological sister. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. Even if you go to ask Lord Safir...there is no money..." Nicholas was also distressed. He knew the relationship between Xianyun and Safir. Naturally, he couldn't offend the person in front of him casually. He could only explain earnestly.

Hearing what Nicola said, Xianyun tutted his lips: "This is difficult... ordinary tea... feels a little low-grade..."

While she was talking, Katarina also came out of the house. Seeing Xianyun, she blinked and immediately came over: "Hey, isn't this Sister Yun? What's the matter? Why are you like this?"

"Sister Yun came to buy Jin Ming, but it's out of stock." Nicholas explained simply, and Katarina immediately understood what was going on.

The last time Xianyun came, she took a lot of golden tea and left. For this, she blamed Nicholas. After some explanation, she realized that this woman was one of Saphir's immortal friends.

Immortals, there is no need to explain how high their status is in Liyue. Katarina immediately attached great importance to it and conducted a thorough investigation of the existing immortals and senior officials in Liyue.

Including the human form of the immortals, as well as all the images of the Seven Stars and their families, were distributed to subordinates in the form of portraits, and they were told to be cautious when they met the people in the portraits.

Of course, behavior like Nikola's giving away golden tea for free is definitely not advisable. The batch given away at that time caused the supply of Yanshang Tea House to be affected for a long time afterwards.

There is no way around it. Business is all about reputation, and there must be no problems with the tea sold to other places. We have to suffer the shortfall at home. Fortunately, we have Saphir. Even if Yanshang Tea House does not have enough stock, Saphir can temporarily make tea that tastes almost the same as Jinming.

We did survive that incident, but after that, there was a limit on the amount that could be purchased next time.

Xianyun only bought two boxes this time, obviously because he knew the interests involved and therefore restrained himself.

It’s a pity that I happened to run into a day when there was no stock. I can only say that I was unlucky.

Katarina rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "Sister Yun wants this golden tea... are you planning to take it back to drink yourself? If it were you, why would you take any tea back? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Yanshang Tea House?"

You have such a good relationship with our family, how can she not invite you? Don't worry, she won't refuse. "

"I'm not drinking it myself, I want to give it as a gift." Xianyun really liked Katarina's words. Although there was no obvious compliment, it made people feel important and comfortable.

After hearing this, Katarina understood a little: "That's easy. Gifts are only given to superiors or friends. Is there anyone in Liyue who can be your superior? The only one is Lord Yan, but he is also a frequent visitor to Yanshang Teahouse. It's not appropriate to give this as a gift."

As for friends... sending some ordinary tea can actually express your thoughts. As the saying goes, a gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is more valuable than the thought. The gift itself is not important, what matters is sincerity.

In this way, after giving the gift, you can also invite the other party to your home or go shopping together, which is a favor after all."

Xianyun nodded continuously upon hearing this, feeling that this was indeed the truth, so he said, "Then... bring me two boxes of Songluo Xianya."

Songluo Xianya is considered to be the best type of ordinary tea. Xianyun has tried it and felt it was good.

Katarina smiled happily: "That's right, come to think of it, Sister Yun, are you only buying gifts? I remember you have a lot of friends, right? If those immortals heard that you only gave gifts to two of them, wouldn't the others be unhappy?

Forget it, as long as you think it's okay, it's a pity that I was planning to talk to you about buying more and getting more free. "

"Buy more, get more free? What's that saying?" Xianyun raised her eyebrows. She did feel that it was not thoughtful to only give gifts to those two guys. After all, including Ganyu, Shenhe, Saphir, Zhongli and Aping, there were five places.

If we add Yan Fei's family, the Great Sage who subdues demons, Fushe, and Bubulu's place, shouldn't my little disciple Shuyu also send some?

Well, it’s better to buy more.

Katarina narrowed her eyes and smiled. "The Lantern Festival promotion was originally scheduled to start in two days. Since Sister Yun is here, I will do you a favor and give you a 10% discount on three boxes, an 20% discount on four boxes, and half the price on ten boxes!"

"Half price!" Xianyun was tempted, "Okay, then install it for me."

"Okay!" Katarina nodded, signaling Nicholas to hurry up and prepare the goods. "Sister Yun, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Today, Xianyunbai finally returned some of the golden tea to Mora. Katarina rubbed her cheeks, crying in her heart but her face was about to twitch with laughter.
