The two just lay down and sat in a stalemate for a long time.

It wasn't until Fu Jingxuan opened one eye that Fang Zesheng withdrew his hand in a panic, sat on the wheelchair, and stopped looking at him.

Fu Erye accepted it as soon as he saw it, took out a silver water bottle hidden under the quilt and threw it aside, and talked to Fang Zesheng about the business, "Do you have any comprehensive plans?"

Fang Zesheng said: "No, I've been waiting for this opportunity for her to enter the tea market."

Fu Jingxuan nodded, already guessing something.The chess game he played with Fang Zesheng that day was just a guess that Fang Zesheng's current appearance was forbearing for many years, and he didn't really give up the Fang family's family business to deceive him.

Whoever wanted to cheat ninety-nine percent, not only got his intentions out, but also let himself in by the way.

"Then what are your plans now?" Fu Jingxuan leaned on the bed in a good mood, and raised his eyebrows when Fang Zesheng finally took a look at him.

Fang Zesheng looked at him for a long time, but finally closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he wiped away the awkward feeling, his eyes were full of clarity.

"The key is who will she invite this time."

Fu Jingxuan said: "She doesn't have a high family background, and she has been clinging to your Fang family for many years. Even if she can invite high-ranking officials, it should be from your family."

Fang Zesheng said: "The prefect of Chuzhou is surnamed Feng, and a distant relative is surnamed Li."

"Li? There seems to be an adult surnamed Li in the Shangshu province. Could it be him?"

"No, Mr. Li is an official of the Ministry of Officials. Even if he likes to drink a few sips of idle tea, he can't control any major affairs."

"Could it be someone from the household department?"

Fang Zesheng shook his head.

Fu Jingxuan said: "It's impossible to be a relative of the emperor, right?"

Fang Zesheng said: "The status of the person who comes is not important, what is important is whether the person who comes can help her gain a firm foothold in the tea market. She wants to seize the official business and do business in the capital, so the biggest business in the capital is At whose house?"

Fu Jingxuan pondered for a while, then pointed to the sky.

Fang Zesheng nodded, "It's not easy to run the business of the Tian family. The children of the king and grandson want to collect money, and they won't ask for it from a small tea merchant. The officials and ministers in the inner and outer three levels can't find a way to send money, so what? Let her take advantage of the loophole?"

"It's not a high-ranking official or a relative of the state, so it's the department responsible for the trivial matters of the Tian family's tea and rice?"

"Ah."

"Could it be the Purchasing Department?"

Fang Zesheng said: "If you guess correctly, it should be Mr. Song from the former Purchasing Department."

Fu Jingxuan asked, "Why the ex?"

Fang Zesheng said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiuhe is looking for Taishou Feng, and Taishou Feng is looking for Mr. Li. Mr. Li is most familiar with the Purchasing Department is Mr. Song. Naturally, I have to talk to him first. Mr. Song loves tea. I am very interested in the tea tasting conference. According to the number of years of officials, Mr. Song will retire last year, and he should be idle at home. He just happened to catch up with this grand event, so he must be happy to participate."

Fu Jingxuan asked: "Wang Xiuhe has the ability to invite him? Is it possible that the carved lotus of your Fang family can be used as tribute tea again?"

Fang Zesheng shook his head: "The current level is a bit worse."

Since Wang Xiuhe took over Fang's family, her thoughts have been on tea. She has mastered the craftsmanship of "carving lotus with auspicious grass", but she has changed the people who make tea and grow tea. , although I was forced to write down the methods of rubbing leaves and pressing cakes, there will still be deviations if I change hands.The higher the quality of the tea cake, the more critical it is to distinguish the quality of the tea craftsmanship. There must be no mistakes. Even from the beginning of planting tea seedlings, it is necessary to consider the daily sunlight. Wang Xiuhe does not know how to grow tea. However, the new batch of tenants are as lazy as the existing servants of the Fang family. Although they can regularly hand over a batch of new shoots every year, they are far from the previous level.

Fu Jingxuan said: "I only know that today's tribute tea is made by the old three families. The Fu family snatched it for two years and then was dismissed. It seems that the Lin family in Yiyang has also grabbed a place. This year, the tea used in Beijing is all It belongs to his family."

Fang Zesheng said: "The Lin family's "Jintuan Xinxue" has always been a high-quality product. If the Fu family did not have Mrs. Cheng in charge, they would have been squeezed out of the four families."

Fu Jingxuan shrugged: "It's just that the aunt's health is getting worse and worse, Liu Erniang took the lead and is waiting to take her place."

Fang Zesheng seemed to know better than Fu Jingxuan what the situation of the Fu family was like.If the Fang family's "Diaolian" hadn't been downgraded, the other three families would not have been able to offer tribute tea to Beijing.The Purchasing Department selects more than a hundred kinds of tea every year, and picks out the best ones for the Tian family. Fang Changru used the Fang family's tea when he was alive, and no matter whether it is new tea or old tea, it will be in this family.Now that Fang Changru is gone, the quality of the tea provided by the Fang family has plummeted, so they can no longer be used. It's just that after a few years of exchange, they can't find a suitable one. Therefore, the leader of the four families can't be determined.

Wang Xiuhe has a few official businesses in her hands, but it is far from enough. If she does not enter the tea market at this time, she will soon be squeezed out by those tea merchants other than four.In this way, although the Fang family got it, they lost all their business. Isn't it a waste of effort for her to fight for so many years?

"However, if she dares to invite people from the purchasing department this time, she will surely win the tea tasting party by surprise."

Fang Zesheng nodded.

Fu Jingxuan asked, "What's your plan?"

"Tea."

"Tea?"

Fang Zesheng said: "Although Mr. Song has retired to his home, he still has a position in the procurement department. He is a clean and honest man, but he has a high demand for tea. Therefore, when he comes this time, we must respect him with a cup of good tea."

Fu Jingxuan knowingly asked: "How respectful? Naturally, Wang Xiuhe won't let you appear in public, and even if he lets you attend, he won't let you order tea in person."

"So, I want you to help me."

Fu Jingxuan smiled suddenly, moved to the side of the bed, and approached Fang Zesheng's face, "So overbearing?"

Fang Zesheng had no expression on his face, and his hands in his wide sleeves curled up slightly again.

Seeing that he was a little stiff, Fu Jingxuan smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. But I only know how to appreciate tea, not order tea."

In the end, Ming Dou still depends on who makes the tea. Fresh white tea soup is the best, but no one has been able to make it for many years. Fu Jingxuan has only seen white soup tea once when he was so old. It was many years ago when Fang Zesheng cooked it. Show him.

"I can teach you." Fang Zesheng was silent for a while, "It's just that Wang Xiuhe probably knows that you understand tea, so he may not let you appear at the tea tasting party."

Erye Fu sat on the bed in disheveled clothes, and he did not forget to take out a newly bought folding fan from under the pillow and shake it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Wang Xiuhe knows me a lot, not only that I am a tea lover .”
