The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 628 How many servants are there in your family?

Shi Hongshang smiled and said: "I will prepare some good tea for you then, so don't be polite to me."

Zhong Siyu lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi."

Shi Hongshang said: "If you have nothing to do, I will take you to the tea farm to have a look. You must have never seen such a thing as a tea tree in the Bianjing area."

Shang Xi is interested, especially things she has never been exposed to before.

"Okay."

Zhong Siyu said: "I can't be together anymore, I have to take care of Mr. Hou."

Shang Xi said: "Cheng Feng is waiting for you. Besides, the Marquis has brought many people. You can take this opportunity to take a rest."

Zhong Siyu said: "Can Cheng Feng, a man, serve the Marquis well?"

Shang Xi said: "Humph, given the arrogant temper of the Marquis, if he doesn't serve him well, he will scold Cheng Feng to death. Don't worry about it. Let's go to the tea garden and have a look. The Marquis will be left to Cheng Feng. The quality of the service is at best Cheng Feng can withstand a few scoldings."

Shi Hongshang's follower Zhugen said: "I think Mr. Hou is a nice person. He talks and laughs and is very kind. He is not like the rumors outside."

Shang Xi said: "You were deceived by Mr. Hou's appearance. The rumors are not groundless. You will know later."

Zhugen'er said: "Impossible, I really like Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou speaks very nicely."

With that look of admiration on his face, if it weren't for the presence of two girls, Shi Hongshang would have kicked Zhu Gen'er in the butt and even scolded him. Why doesn't he look at his own young master like this? Is he, Shi Hongshang, just a decoration? Isn't he, Shi Hongshang, unpopular? Doesn't the words he, Shi Hongshang, say sound good?

Zhugen'er has been following Wan Lianxing since he met Wan Lianxing. As long as he hears Zhugen'er talk about Wan Lianxing, Shi Hongshang will not be angry at all. In Zhugen'er's heart, this Wan Lianxing was so perfect that this man didn't even know whose follower he was.

Shang Xi said: "You can wait until he recovers and regains his energy. He can grind people to death. Miss Zhong, you have to be careful. You will always be by Mr. Hou's side in the future. You will suffer."

Zhong Siyu smiled and said: "Master Hou is very good to me. He is always polite and kind."

Zhu'er, who was following behind her, was the most dissatisfied with Wan Lianxing. Their young lady had been made angry and cried many times by Wan Lianxing. At this time, their young lady was still speaking for the Marquis, but she would have packed her things and returned home. I am in Bianjing and I am getting angry here.

When Shang Xi heard this, she thought that Wan Lianxing was just being polite to Zhong Siyu, but she also saw it today. The relationship between Wan Lianxing and Zhong Siyu was not very good, and they even pretended to be inseparable. , but this is definitely not Zhong Siyu’s fault, it’s Wan Lianxing’s changeable temperament.

Shang Xi comforted Zhong Siyu and said, "Master Hou must be very fond of you, otherwise he wouldn't have taken you with him all the way." How could this kind of Siyu fall to the ground and force her to follow her? Shang Xi had long since left Cheng Feng asked clearly.

Zhu Gen'er said: "Isn't Mr. Hou not close to women?"

Shi Hongshang hit Zhu Gen'er on the head with the fan in her hand. Zhu Gen'er, who was thin but not weak, shrank her neck and muttered: "Ask what you are afraid of."

Zhong Siyu said: "I want to accompany Lord Marquis to the camp. He can't drive me away."

Zhu Gen'er said enviously: "I am you, and I won't leave. It's so nice to be by Mr. Hou's side. Listening to Mr. Hou speak is a pleasure."

Shi Hongshang's teeth were itching with anger, and he said coolly: "See if the Marquis is short of manpower. If there is no manpower, just follow him."

Zhugen'er smiled and said, "If I don't go, I will stay by your side to protect you."

"Hmph, I think your heart has long since lost its way, and you can no longer be loyal to me."

Zhugen'er said: "Heaven and earth can serve as a lesson. I am completely sincere to the young master."

Shi Hongshang ignored Zhugen'er and said to Shang Xi and Zhong Siyu: "We left the house and walked west for a while. There is a tea tree in my house. I will take you to see it."

At first I thought it was far away, but it was indeed far away when I walked out. It felt like a green tea tree was right in front of me, but I just couldn't get anywhere.

Shang Xi was fine, but Zhong Siyu seemed to be in trouble, so Shang Xi said, "Don't you go out and walk around often?"

Zhong Siyu, who was covered in sweat, said: "I also came out for a walk, but I didn't go this far."

Shi Hongshang said: "It's almost there."

After walking for a while, they arrived. Taking a breath of the air here, Shang Xi felt refreshed and suddenly felt that the road he had just walked was worth it.

Looking at the endless tea trees, there are many people bending down to pick things.

Shang Xi said: "Master Shi, are they picking tea?"

"Yes, there are people picking tea here every day."

Shang Xi said: "Why not pick tea when it is cool in the morning and evening?"

Shi Hongshang said: "You don't know, the tea in this season must be picked in such good weather."

Shang Xi said: "Can I try picking tea?"

Shi Hongshang said: "You want to pick tea."

Shang Xi said: "I think you know whether it will damage your tea tree."

Shi Hongshang said: "How could I teach you?"

Soon Zhugen'er brought out several small baskets, and Shang Xi and Zhong Siyu each carried one basket on their shoulders.

Shi Hongshang taught them how to pick tea and what kind of tea to pick.

Shang Xi was quick, and he grabbed several handfuls of tea leaves in a short while.

Shi Hongshang glanced into her basket and said, "Shang Xi, you picked the wrong tea. It's too old. The tea you make will not taste good. Throw it away and pick it again."

Shang Xi said: "Don't waste it. Give this to me. I'll fry it when I go home and drink it myself. Anyway, I can't drink enough tea."

Shi Hongshang said: "If you want to fry tea, you can pick the buds. How can such a large tea tree not have enough for you to drink?"

Shang Xi shook her head and refused to throw them away. She said she would take these handfuls of tea leaves back and fry them, as if she really knew how to fry them.

Shi Hongshang said: "Look at the tea picked by Miss Zhong and Zhu'er, and look at the tea picked by you. They are completely different."

Zhu Gen'er said: "Mrs. Cheng must not have listened carefully when the master just told you how to pick tea."

Shang Xi said: "I listened carefully. The tea I picked is not bad, but it is a bit old."

Shang Xi couldn't bear to part with these handfuls of tea leaves if he didn't throw them away. The tea trees were so neatly repaired and the tea garden was so close to Shi's residence. He knew it was good tea without even asking.

Seeing Zhu'er wiping Zhong Siyu's sweat with a handkerchief from time to time, and then looking at Shang Xi, casually wiping the sweat on his face with his arm, he felt that the gap was a bit big. Zhu Gen'er asked Shang Xi: "Mrs. Cheng, what should I do? I don’t see any maid waiting on you.”

Shang Xi smiled and said, "I don't have a maid."

"Then how many servants are there in your family?"

Shang Xi said: "There are no servants, only those who care for the children, those who manage the affairs, and those who cook. There are only three in total."
