light wine brewed tea

The dog days are coming, and the heat is hard to bear.

Seeing that the delivery date of the tea goods was getting closer and closer, there was no extra movement from the Fang family's inner house.

Wang Xiuhe withdrew the guards from the inner house, Cui'er was worried, and would go over to have a look from time to time.

Just looking around, can't see anything.

Either I saw the two of them reading in the study together, or I saw the two of them sitting in the yard playing chess together.Second Young Master Fu would occasionally go out for a stroll, and would bring back some weird gadgets, or buy some pastries. All kinds of fresh pastries spanned all the pastry shops in the east and west markets.Tweety paid attention and went to those shops to check them one by one, but found nothing except that the pastries were unusually sweet.

Wang Xiuhe sat drinking tea in the bedroom of the outer house.

Tweety helped her hang her shoulders, and at the same time told all the things she saw in the past few days.

Wang Xiuhe knew this earlier, and opened the makeup box on the table again, and found the letters, "I told you a long time ago that you don't need to look at it at this time."

Tweety said: "The servants are also afraid that they will block Madam's way again."

Wang Xiuhe glanced at Cui'er: "Of course they have to block the way, but it's not right now. When you are watching the tea before the delivery date, there is no need to worry right now."

Tweety responded, seeing that she had been reading letters frequently recently, she asked, "Does Madam really want to ask Mrs. Liu for help?"

"nature."

"But we are not close to her. How can you trust her so much? Entrust such an important matter to her?"

Wang Xiuhe smiled slightly, and closed the lid of the makeup box, "Of course I can trust it. After all, in this world, she is the only one who will not conspire with Fu Jingxuan."

Fast forward to the end of July.

The warehouse in the northwest corner of Linjiangdu is full of tea products from the Fang family, and they will be transported to Beijing by ship on a certain day, and will be put into the warehouse before the [-]th.

Fang Zesheng said he didn't care about it, so he never asked a question the whole time.On the face of it, Wang Xiuhe was still doing well. Even though Fang Zesheng said no matter what, he personally pushed him to come to the ferry to have a look at the tea two days before entering Beijing.

She also invited Fu Jingxuan to come with her, but today Fu Jingxuan was lying on the bed dying with a sick face.

at the ferry.

Wang Xiuhe asked concerned: "What's wrong with Jingxuan? It was fine a few days ago."

Fang Zesheng said lightly, "I have typhoid fever."

Wang Xiuhe didn't believe it in his eyes, but said on his mouth: "Can you call a doctor?"

Fang Zesheng said: "Please pass, Aunt Lao is concerned."

Wang Xiuhe said: "Why is the newborn still so polite? Jingxuan is our Fang family, and I should care about him. I'll let Chen Fu come over to take a look at him when I go back today, and grab some medicine to recuperate."

Fang Zesheng nodded, and Wang Xiuhe pushed him into the warehouse door.

The warehouse rented by Ferry is indeed bigger than Fang's back house. The tea products are wrapped in waterproof grease cloth and packed into hemp rope bags one by one.Wang Xiuhe ordered the tea worker to open a bag, take a piece of tea cake from it and pass it to Fang Zesheng, "I have asked the tea worker to adjust the technique of "carving lotus" this time according to the technique of pressing the cake. The signature of Fang’s house. All the broken tea has been replaced with sprouts and roasted, and we have made corresponding adjustments according to the taste of the outsiders. The soup of the herdsmen in the east is heavier, and the soup of the Zhai people in the west is lighter, so that sometimes they don’t understand us. Let’s reciprocate, let’s talk about our faults.”

Fang Zesheng listened silently to Wang Xiuhe's words, "My aunt has always been very smart about business. When I first came to Fang's house, my father said that you are talented and intelligent, and asked me to learn from you."

Wang Xiuhe was slightly taken aback, then smiled for a while and said, "What can I learn from me? I don't know how to know tea, and I don't know how to make soup, but I can do some calculations. Now that your father has already left, let's not talk about the past. Something happened."

Fang Zesheng responded, and glanced at the goods in the warehouse seemingly indifferently, "Go back, and I have to trouble my aunt to worry about the shipping."

Wang Xiuhe smiled and said "OK", then gave Tweety a look and asked her to stay at the ferry.

Fu Jingxuan's typhoid fever came on strangely today, presumably the two of them felt that the time had come and they were ready to do something with this batch of tea.

At night, the river tide is undercurrent.

There were only a few tea workers from the Fang family at Linjiang Ferry, each holding a torch, walking around the door of the warehouse.

There are red lights on the river in the distance, as if dozens of cargo ships are about to dock. I don't know whether they are coming to Chu to unload their cargo, or passing by to rest.

An old man, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, came to fish in the dead of night and hastily pulled in his net. Only a few shriveled small fish were caught in the net pocket, which was not enough to fit between his teeth.They had to be put back into the river to raise them, and to catch them again at night when no merchant ships passed by.

Tweety stood near the ferry, seeing that it was late, she came to the warehouse door to let the patrolling tea workers take a break, and then came to a dark corner, whispering: "Madam, everyone has been arranged."

Wang Xiuhe stood there, quietly watching the flickering torches on both sides of the warehouse, nodded and said, "Come soon."

After a stick of incense, two people with strange whereabouts really sneaked to the warehouse door while the tea workers were changing shifts.

One looked left and right to help watch out, the other was wearing a dark robe covering his head and face, and was lying on the door of the warehouse with his hunched back, trying to pick the lock.

Wang Xiuhe covered her mouth and smiled: "It's hard for the second young master of the Fu family, a dignified master, to do such an outrageous thing for a cripple."

Cui'er squinted her eyes and looked carefully for a while, but she recognized the three treasures. Although the other one couldn't be seen clearly, it should be Fu Jingxuan who was lying in bed this morning, and said with a smile, "How will Madam prepare to deal with them?"

Wang Xiuhe said: "Naturally, I will be sent to the officials to bring it to justice. No matter what you do with the goods of Tianjia, it is a serious crime that will kill you."

Tweety said: "Then what if the head of the family begs you to let them go?"

"If he begs me, I won't be hard-hearted." Wang Xiuhe said gently, "Let him exchange Fang's family. No matter how you think about it, it's a suitable deal."

Speaking of this, the door to the warehouse has been opened, Wang Xiuhe waited for a while, and ordered Cui'er to gather dozens of tea workers who were hiding nearby, walked over with a lighted torch, and stood in the warehouse. Loudly said at the door: "The stolen goods are taken together, why should the second young master hide?"

The warehouse door was ajar, and it was pitch black and no one made a sound. Wang Xiuhe raised his hand, and the tea workers behind him rushed up and smashed through the door, and found two people along the rows of goods.

Three Treasures covered his face, with a pair of strange small eyes gurgling around, no need to guess who it was.

The other covered her tightly, but at this moment her head was buried tightly and her waist was bent, it was really difficult to distinguish.

Wang Xiuhe treated him as shameless, and ordered the tea worker to grab the back of his neck and roughly tear off his mask.

"Zhou Qi!?"

Cui'er saw the man's face clearly, stood beside Wang Xiuhe and exclaimed, "Why is it you!?"

It was Zhou Qi who slipped into the warehouse gate with Sanbao, looking at Wang Xiuhe angrily at this time, and threw his head aside.

Wang Xiuhe didn't expect her eyes to be in such a state, she frowned, and said sharply, "Where is Fu Jingxuan?"

Sanbao first glanced at her unceremoniously, then raised his round chin towards the river.

The fleet on the river was getting closer and closer. When approaching the ferry, the main ship raised a large flag, which swayed back and forth with the night wind, vaguely, as if the word "Fu" was written on it.

Wang Xiuhe was startled immediately, and took a few steps back in a daze. When the main boat came to a stop, Fu Jingxuan came out from behind the curtain in a round-neck blue shirt, and there was another person coming out with him.

It was Wang Xiuhe who believed in it deeply, and they were called sisters—the Liu family, Liu Ruyan.
