light wine brewed tea

As time approached, the boy from the Tea Merchants Association held a gong tied with a red string and knocked it three times.

Master Song put down the teacup, walked out of the gazebo, and stood in front of a long rosewood table.

This table is placed in the first place in the south, and there is a writing brush and a stack of wooden signs on the table.

The principals of each tea shop also came out of the pavilion one after another, brought their juniors with them, stepped forward one by one, and saluted Lord Song in unison.Seeing that Fu Jingxuan was following Wang Xiuhe, Fu Shangyi wanted to call him over with a straight face, but suddenly remembered that he had already married into the Fang family, so he was no longer considered to be the Fu family in name.Standing next to him, Liu Ruyan saw a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes, she couldn't help but sneered, and said in her heart: If I knew this before, why bother?

Liu Erniang is a strange person. She is usually selfish and selfish. She has a despicable and worldly mind, but her eyes are like a mirror, and she can see clearly than ordinary bastards. She is not a kind person, nor is she absolutely evil. Not bad, not bad for the whole Fu family, except Fu Jingxuan and his sister.If her eldest son was not a fool, her second son was a bookworm, and her third son followed his father's indecision, she would not have fought and fought with Fu Jingxuan as a thorn in his side.She claims to be much stronger than Fu Shangyi, who said that she gave birth to her son, she doesn't care about it now, and when she dies in the future, who will take care of these three idiots?Count on his father?Pooh!Although Fu Jingxuan said that he was not liked when he was young, he was not a good stubble who would be bullied.If someone is protecting him, he will naturally sit back and relax, and if no one is protecting him, he can live a better life than the world.At that time, if Fu Shangyi could protect him a little, her absurd idea of ​​marriage on behalf of him would not be possible.

Now that the person is married, it's poked Patriarch Fu's heart, where the cat is crying and the mouse is pretending to be merciful and regretful?It's really laughing out the big teeth of others!

Liu Erniang glanced back at Fu Jingxuan, her eyes were still rolling, and Master Song said with a smile: "Today I am honored to participate in the tea tasting meeting, all thanks to your appreciation. I am ashamed to say that the old man has already retired at home, I haven’t asked about tea for a long time, but now I still have the opportunity to contribute a little to the tea market event, it’s really a great honor.”

Everyone clapped their hands and said politely, Master Song said again: "This time I entered Chu, I did not come empty-handed. On August [-]th of this year, envoys from the Five Kingdoms came to Beijing to pay tribute, and the Tian family ordered the purchasing department to prepare [-] tons of broken pieces. , [-] catties of top-grade tea cakes, and gave Fanbang as a gift in return. Mr. Zhang, who is currently in the Purchasing Department, made a special trip to discuss this with me, and finally decided that this leader will be in charge of the business of this order. I don’t know what you think?"

As soon as this remark fell, the audience was in an uproar, except for the principals of the four major families, they all started talking about this big deal donated by the Dantian family.All the big tea merchants have contacts with local officials in various places. It is not a secret that envoys have entered the court, but the quantity of supply is unknown. Master Song announced it on the spot today, which really surprised people.

Prophet Tao was originally standing beside his grandfather, but after hearing this, he moved sideways to Fu Jingxuan, making exaggerated gestures: One hundred thousand dan——!

Fu Jingxuan stood in the crowd with his hands down, looked Tao Zhizhi up and down, and asked inexplicably, "How many tea growers does your family have now?"

Prophet Tao counted with his fingers, "If you count all the fields, there must be thousands of people, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fu Jingxuan squinted and teased: "It really is a big family in Yizhou, Master Tao."

"Hey." Prophet Tao supported the dazzling gold inlaid jade crown on his head, and said with a smile, "Where is it, it's just a little money."

To say that the Tao family is the richest among the four major families.Firstly, Yizhou has a large land area and few people, and then it has abundant rainfall, which is suitable for the growth of tea trees and can be traded all year round.It's just that with the Fang family's "Rui Cao Diao Lian" first, the Tao family no longer makes new teas. After all, the craftsmanship can't keep up with others, and it is self-defeating to make tea.So, the elders of Tao’s family changed their way and started Chencha. The more it is released, the more fragrant it is, and the more it is released, the more expensive it is.

Fu Jingxuan asked: "In previous years, what did you do with the sprouts in your family?"

Prophet Tao said: "My family never picks new shoots, and I have to pick them all after I get old."

Fu Jingxuan thought for a while, but didn't say anything, and shifted his gaze to Hu Yunshan.

"Dong Dong" two gongs sounded, reminding everyone that the time has come.

Lord Song raised his hands, wide sleeves facing the wind, "Today's duel, we will meet friends over tea, no matter whether we win or lose, it's all about skill and technique, and we must not hurt people's friendship."

Burn the incense and finish the ceremony.

Mr. Song sat at the head, and the little tea boy held a mahogany sign with black characters, stood in front of everyone and said crisply: "First try, the tea tasting game."

The so-called Tea Tasting Bureau is an opportunity specially reserved for younger generations to show their face in public.The first time Fu Jingxuan met Fang Zesheng was before the Tea Tasting Bureau. The things Fang Zesheng secretly buried behind the pavilion were the tea cakes and broken pieces needed for the Tea Tasting Bureau.

Now that I haven't come to the tea tasting conference for many years, the younger generations who participated in the tea tasting bureau have not changed much. Beside him, Prophet Tao was so ashamed to face others, he kept waving at Fu Jingxuan, hoping that he could embarrass himself with him like he did when he was a child.

The tea table for tea tasting was filled with children and grandchildren of various families one after another, but the table of the Fang family was still empty. The little tea boy flipped through the wooden sign, scratched his hair according to the writing on it, and ran to In front of Mr. Song, show it to him.Lord Song took the wooden sign and looked at it, stroked his beard and laughed, then returned the wooden sign to the boy, and patted his bun.

After receiving the order, the little tea boy obediently returned to his original position, held up the wooden sign and said in a loud voice: "Fang Zesheng, the head of the Fang family, the new in-law married last month, Fu Jingxuan? But you're here?"

One sentence, no one answered.

The little tea boy raised his voice and shouted again: "Fang Zesheng, the head of the Fang family! The new in-law Fu Jingxuan who married last month? But here?"

Two sentences, no one answered.

The little tea boy grabbed his neck, held his breath, and shouted loudly again: "Fang Zesheng's inner room, Fu Jingxuan, is here...!"

"coming."

Before Xiaocha's fairy tale could be heard, Second Master Fu walked out of the loose crowd. The crowd had already made room for him and allowed him to walk all the way generously, before he reached Prophet Tao's place. beside.

In order to stay away from the eight-year-old boy, Prophet Tao insisted on joining Fu Jingxuan, and said in a low voice, "It's over, it's over, no one knew that you married Fang Zesheng, and everyone knows about this trouble! What will you do when you leave the Fang family?" Get married!"

Second Master Fu raised his eyebrows and smiled, cupped his hands at the haughty little boy beside Prophet Tao, and said to Prophet Tao, "This time, I won't be with you."

It's midnight tonight.

From the east corner of the Fang family's inner house, there were a few faint cat meows.

The guards on duty shifted in twos, one by one standing listlessly in the dark courtyard and dozing off. The lights in the main house had long since gone out. Seeing that nothing was wrong, the two new guards each found a place to sleep soundly. There is no reason for other movements.

Zhou Qi finished delivering the paper balls early in the morning, and received a letter secretly handed to him by the dumb uncle at noon. Fortunately, he knew a few words since he was a child, and understood the contents of the letter. Enter the main house without interest.

After a while, the lights in the main house turned on, not too bright, so it couldn't disturb other people's dreams.

Fang Zesheng had already moved from the bed to the wheelchair. Although he took medicine every day, there was still no blood on his face.

Zhou Qi clasped his hands in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and called out, "The master."

Fang Zesheng nodded: "Thank you."

Zhou Qi hurriedly said: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, and if you can do things for the big master, it's not in vain for the little one to come to Fang's house for nothing."

Fang Zesheng had never seen him before. Seeing his fifteen or sixteen-year-old appearance, he thought for a while and asked, "Where does your family live?"

Zhou Qi said: "My small family belongs to Taoxi Village. The land there is not good, and I can't open fields and grow tea trees."

Fang Zesheng said, "Taoxi Village? My father has been there."

"Hey." Zhou Qi said gratefully: "It all depends on Mr. Fang's visit when I was young, so that my family can survive the famine and survive."

"Then you can read?"

"It was also ordered by Mr. Fang. He lived in the village for nearly a month at that time and taught the little one a lot. The little one's parents kept reminding the little one of Mr. Fang's kindness, saying that he would come to the Fang family to repay him in the future. "

It's just that Zhou Qi lives in a remote place, and he didn't know that Fang Changru had passed away a few years ago, so he had to find a job at Fang's family when he came all the way, and then make plans later.

"I don't know that Mrs. Wang is not a good person. If I had known that she was so harsh on the head, I wouldn't have helped her watch the gate!"

Fang Zesheng bowed his head to Zhou Qi again, and then asked, "Is there any news from Yuming Mountain?"

Zhou Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the three treasures have come these two nights. Last night, I asked the little one to deliver a note. Tonight, it was said that the second young master won the championship in the tea tasting competition, which shocked everyone's jaws."

Fang Zesheng seemed to be able to recall the scene at that time, and asked, "How did Prophet Tao react?"

Zhou Qi said, "I'm terrified."

Fang Zesheng asked again: "Where is the Fu family?"

Zhou Qi said: "The Fu family can't believe it even more. I heard that after the tea tasting session, Master Fu stood in front of the mountain pavilion and didn't move for a long time."

"Where's Mrs. Liu?"

"Liu's family? Is it the Liu Erniang mentioned by the Three Treasures?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that he fainted directly in the arms of the eldest young master of the Fu family."

Fang Zesheng pondered for a while, then murmured with some doubts, "Did you get dizzy?"

Zhou Qi said: "Sanbao said so, it seems that the second young master was angry with her and said something in front of her."

Fang Zesheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, "Did you mention the tea order meeting between the Lin family and the Fang family today?"

"I mentioned it, but there is no winner or loser. I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow."

Fang Zesheng asked, "Is there a reason?"

Zhou Qi couldn't bear it, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh presumptuously, "Second Young Master was ruthless when tasting tea, and bullied that talented young master of the Lin family for a while. That young master is only eight years old. He was already very proud of his temperament, but he couldn't get angry for a while, and he lay down on the Yuming Mountain and cried loudly. This time, his father made the tea for the Lin family, but in the end, he had no choice but to put down the utensils and run to coax the children."

After listening to the dumb uncle, he immediately burst out laughing, and the corners of Fang Zesheng's mouth trembled slightly. After a long while, he curled up his fingers and asked, "Is there... anything else?"

Zhou Qi blinked, scratched the back of his neck and said, "No more."

Fang Zesheng's eyes darkened, "Really...no more?"

The dumb uncle hastily raised two fingers to Zhou Qi, and gestured again. Zhou Qi was not stupid, so he immediately understood his meaning, and respectfully said: "Although the second young master didn't speak personally, Sanbao said that he It’s a good show on Yuming Mountain today.”

When Fu Jingxuan was mentioned, Fang Zesheng's eyes lit up again, and he asked, "How do you show off?"

"It is said that the tea boy called him several times in the Fang family's inner room in front of everyone, and the voice was so loud that it almost penetrated the valley of Yuming Mountain."

Fang Zesheng didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence right away, he was stunned for a while, then turned his head to the side stiffly, hiding the faint blush on his face.
