Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

Si Nanxing picked up the teapot, poured two cups, and gently pushed it in front of Hui Dabao and Ning Xuyou.

"This tea is so fragrant, little brother, you're welcome!"

Hui Dabao picked up the tea cup and took a small sip. A strange fragrance penetrated from the nose and mouth into the internal organs, which was indescribably comfortable.

I couldn’t help but praise, “It tastes so good!”

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "Brother, drink a few more cups. This black vine tea is not only refreshing and relieves fatigue, but it is also very effective in relieving hangovers!"

Hui Dabao scratched his head and said, "Do I smell like alcohol so much? You all know that I drink..."

While pouring tea for Hui Dabao, Si Nanxing said, "It doesn't matter if the wine smells too strong, but I'm a little disappointed. Brother Hui doesn't even make a sound when he drinks. I'm so lucky!"

"Brother Si Nan... that's not the case... I have some insomnia... I just want to drink a few glasses of wine... so I can sleep... nothing else..." Hui Dabao explained hurriedly.

Si Nanxing put down the teapot and said with a smile, "Haha... Dabao, I am joking with you, don't take it seriously..."

"oh oh…"

Hui Dabao scratched his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, Brother Ning said that His Highness has something important to ask me. What's the matter?"

Si Nanxing said, "Oh...it's not really an important matter, I just want Brother Xianghui to do me a favor..."

He waved his Dabao and said, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you say so!"

Si Nanxing said, "That's right. Tonight, I will receive a mission in my palace, and this mission is from Dongyi State. Since this is the first time for me to receive a mission from Dongyi State, I am very interested in Dongyi State." I’m not very familiar with the country’s customs and etiquette, and I’m afraid of losing the etiquette. It just so happens that you, Dabao, are from the Dongyi Kingdom, so I hope you, Dabao, will accompany me to receive them tonight, how about it?”

It turned out to be a reception for the mission, no wonder the house was so strange today!

Only then did Hui Dabao understand why those servants were so busy. He picked up the tea cup and pretended to drink tea. In fact, he was thinking about whether to agree to Si Nanxing. After all, receiving the mission would not be of any benefit to him, and he was also afraid Something unexpected happened, after all, his luck has not been very good...

Dongyi Kingdom’s mission, yesterday, Brother Chu seemed to say that he wanted to secretly protect the mission. Could it be that this group of people...

Si Nanxing seemed to notice the hesitation of wielding Dabao and said with a smile, "Actually, there is no complicated ceremony. It's just a banquet. It's not too troublesome!"

Hearing what Si Nanxing said, Hui Dabao was too embarrassed to refuse, so he said, "Okay... But, Your Highness, I come from a poor family, and I don't know much about the etiquette among nobles. I'm also afraid of losing my etiquette..."

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not an official occasion and there are no such rules. It's just that we will be quiet when the time comes. Brother Hui knows the customs and customs of Dongyi Country better and can lead to more resonant topics. Other brothers don't need to Worry!"

Hui Dabao nodded and said, "In this case, I will take the liberty of agreeing, little brother!"

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "By the way, I would like to thank Brother Hui for your help. Come on, let me drink tea instead of wine. I will give you a drink!"

"Your Highness is so polite!"

Hui Dabao put down his tea cup, and Si Nanxing filled it for him again. At this moment, Hui Dabao suddenly remembered what happened at Xinglong Inn and said, "By the way, Your Highness, have you ever heard of a man named Tao Qingfeng in the Tang Mansion?"

"Tao Qingfeng!"

Si Nanxing put down the teapot and asked doubtfully, "Dabao, how do you know this person?"

Hui Dabao said, "To be honest... I went out of the house yesterday and met him in a restaurant. From what others said, he seemed to be the Tang family's son-in-law..."

Si Nanxing nodded and said, "So that's it... Yes, Tao Qingfeng is indeed General Tang's son-in-law. This is not a secret in Zhaoge City!"

"Yes, Tao Qingfeng turns out to be a well-known handsome man in Zhaoge City. Everyone knows about him, and it's normal for people to talk about him!" Ning Xuyou answered.

Waving Dabao, he turned to Ning Xuyou and said, "In this way, I will definitely become the son-in-law of the Tang family. The Tao family should also be a wealthy family!"

Ning Xuyou sighed and said, "Hey... It turns out that Tao Qingfeng did come from a wealthy family. The head of the Tao family, Tao Qingfeng's father, Tao Daoming, was the official of the pottery kiln in charge of Zhaoge City. It turned out that their surname was Ma. Ma Daoming, since Ma Daoming became the chief officer of the pottery kiln, he felt that pottery kilns dealt with fire, and his surname was Ma, so he was roasted horse, so he should be surnamed Tao. Originally, he changed his surname as a good sign. Unexpectedly, a fire five years ago wiped out the Tao family, and only Tao Qingfeng escaped... Since then, the Tao family has plummeted, and Tao Qingfeng has also been living on the streets..."

Hui Dabao said doubtfully, "Isn't that right? Tao Daoming said he was a court official. Even though the Tao family was destroyed by fire, the court would not let Tao Qingfeng live on the streets..."

Ning Xuyou said, "Originally, the imperial court would definitely help Tao Qingfeng, but as the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone. After the Tao family was destroyed by fire, someone reported on Tao Daoming, saying that people had been burned to death in the pottery kiln. If you die, the kiln will be useless and it will no longer be able to produce pottery. However, Tao Daoming concealed this matter and continued to bake pottery and send the pottery out of the oven to the palace. Wouldn't this ruin the feng shui treasure of the palace? So, The imperial court removed the official status of the Tao family, and Tao Qingfeng completely ended up living on the streets!"

Hui Dabao said, "Then how did he become the Tang family's son-in-law?"

Ning Xuyou said, "After Tao Qingfeng lived on the street, he was only eighteen years old. The original young master had the skills to make a living. Fortunately, he was well-read in poetry and books, and he wrote prayer poems for people at the door of the temple outside the city. At that time, Tang Dynasty The eldest daughter of the Tang family, Tang Wan'er, happened to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and she immediately fell in love with him, so Tao Qingfeng became the Tang family's son-in-law!"

Hui Dabao nodded and said, "So that's the case. If you say so, Tao Qingfeng is really unlucky. However, he has endless blessings and can become the son-in-law of the Tang family..."

Si Nanxing said, "Dabao, why are you suddenly so interested in Tao Qingfeng?"

Hui Dabao said, "Your Highness, didn't I tell you last time that if we want to overthrow Quan Cao, we must have an imbalance of power in Zhaoge City. Therefore, Tang Mansion is a very critical point!"

Si Nanxing said, "Oh? What do you mean, Dabao?"

Hui Dabao said, "I met Tao Qingfeng in a restaurant, and I always felt that there was something wrong with him, but I couldn't put my finger on it, and I have no idea now..."

After Si Nanxing heard what Hui Dabao said, he turned to Ning Xuyou and said, "Brother Ning, find someone to investigate Tao Qingfeng secretly and try not to leak any information. Do you understand?"

"As ordered!"

Ning Xuyou said solemnly.

After the discussion, Hui Dabao was too sleepy, so he bid farewell to Si Nanxing and returned to his residence to catch up on his sleep. However, due to the fact that he had to receive the Dongyi Kingdom's envoy in the evening, he was full of worries and could not sleep peacefully. He could not sleep peacefully. He was in a daze, half awake, but even so, it was already sunset when he opened his eyes.
