Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 88
Even though he had already gone to the box of the teahouse on the second floor and lowered the curtain facing the lobby, he could still see a group of people sitting indistinctly inside the curtain.

Holding a long-spout teapot in the teahouse and looking at the guy helping to refill the tea, he couldn't help but look up into the curtain.

That group of guests was indeed conspicuous.

The two young masters were so outstanding in appearance and demeanor that they were not natives of Baoling at first glance. After all, they were born with this appearance, so there was no reason that the well-informed teahouses would not know about it.

It seems that there are three masters and servants following the two young masters. The maid and the guard are okay, not too eye-catching, but the young lady, um, with this figure, I am afraid that there is no second one in Baoling City.

Apart from the few people who looked like they were walking together, the reason why people looked at them frequently was the attitude of one of the young masters towards the fat lady.

I always feel that... it's too good.If it wasn't for the young master's outstanding demeanor, many people would have already started to guess whether the fat young lady had some kind of power in her family, and used her power to force the young master.It can be seen that the son's expression does not seem to be forced at all, and he seems to be caring. Could it be that he is a married son-in-law... Before the storyteller started to tell the story, the man began to guess wildly.

It's not just the guy who has this idea, even through the curtain, he can feel the gazes from all directions.

Jiang Shaoyan took a sip of the tea: the tea tastes neither bad nor bad, obviously the crowds of tea drinkers sitting in the lobby downstairs are not here for tea tasting.Today's storyteller hasn't come yet, but before the storyteller arrives, the tea drinkers who came earlier were invited to watch the excitement.

Jiang Shaoyan glanced at Xiaobaicai at the side, wondering if it was deliberately low-key, Xiaobaicai was wearing a plain scholar's robe today, but it was not that bright white, but apricot color with some "yellow". It looks like it has the old feeling of passing through the years.It's just that such an inconspicuous robe is worn on Xiaobaicai's body, but Xiaobaicai has a bit of a breeze and moon-like smell.

Probably beauty to a certain level can really accommodate each other, and the gorgeousness of the cabbage is not incompatible with such a low-key and dull contrast.

"Miss Jiang Si." Xiaobaicai seemed to have noticed Jiang Shaoyan's "loving" gaze, and he was in a good mood. He pushed a plate of pastries in front of Jiang Shaoyan, and said, "The mung bean cake in this teahouse is good. Miss Jiang Si should try it. .”

Jiang Shaoyan glanced at the small and delicate mung bean cake, squeezed a piece and put it in her mouth: I don’t know if it’s because the local people in Baoling don’t have a strong taste or the pastry master in this teahouse doesn’t like sweetness, and most people at that time like to pour thick cheese on it. The sweetness of the pulp is different, this mung bean cake is indeed neither sweet nor greasy.

Jiang Shaoyan ate an extra piece, put it down, and looked at Ji Chongyan, who also ate an extra piece.

Thinking of yesterday's jasmine tea, Jiang Shaoyan thought that the taste of cabbage was somewhat similar to hers.

After drinking a cup of tea, the storyteller dressed in a coarse linen robe came.

The storyteller's surname was Jiang. Seeing him coming, regular customers in the teahouse greeted him in twos and threes.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The elegant-looking storyteller in his forties responded with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang came late today, but something has delayed it?" The enthusiastic tea drinker asked curiously.

"I went to see those children." The storyteller named Mr. Jiang replied with a smile.

Several regular customers who knew the inside story were immediately in awe when they heard the words: "Mr. Jiang has a kind heart!"

"Sure." Mr. Jiang replied with a smile, not forgetting to say hello to the waiter, and then walked to the back and said, "I'll be right back."

Looking at Mr. Jiang who left, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Ji Chongyan, who had been paying attention to Jiang Shaoyan, asked.

The girl had a pair of graceful and cheerful distant mountain eyebrows, black eyebrows, jade-like skin, clear color, very conspicuous, so Ji Chongyan noticed it just by picking it up slightly.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled when she heard the words, and explained lightly: "I just never thought that this storyteller is so young."

Not to mention all, but nine out of ten teahouses have storytellers who are old men with beards.Most of those who can talk about books have read some books. After reading some books, it is obviously better for a man in his forties to teach people to read and enlighten. Much more than storytelling in teahouses.Only at the age of no longer teaching and educating people will he switch to a storyteller who earns neither money nor status.

Ji Chongyan said "Yes", his eyes fell on that Mr. Jiang and he paused for a moment, then he looked back at Lin Yan, and saw that Lin Yan was staring at Mr. Jiang's back with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Mr. Jiang came out soon, walked to the storytelling stand in the middle of the lobby and sat down.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang picked up the Xingmu, some regular customers who had heard it yesterday said immediately, "Mr. Jiang, do you want to continue with yesterday's story? Tell the story of General Zhao being besieged by the White Emperor and rescued by the immortals?"

"Stories are just stories, but facts are facts. Don't confuse them." Mr. Jiang said with a smile, subconsciously raised his eyelids but quickly suppressed them, and then said with a smile, "Let's not talk about immortals today. Let me tell you the story of Jiang's daughter from the previous court."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shaoyan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: ... No way!

Then, "Jiang's daughter" was mentioned next, and the atmosphere in the teahouse became lively.

"Is it the story of the evil girl who ruined the country?"

"Say it quickly! I heard that if it weren't for her, the tyrant of the previous dynasty wouldn't be a tyrant either!"

"I heard that woman's kung fu is extremely good at hooking up kungfu, and she's the scourge of the reincarnation of Daji!"

……

Before Mr. Jiang could open his mouth, discussions began one after another in the lobby.

"Miss, what is Jiang's daughter?" Xiangli didn't know the story of Jiang's daughter before, so she couldn't help asking Jiang Shaoyan curiously.

Jiang Shaoyan was about to speak, but Ji Chongyan who was on the side spoke before her.

"A girl with a good life but a little unlucky." Ji Chongyan said.

A little unlucky... With this statement, Jiang Shaoyan glanced at Ji Chongyan in surprise, and responded to Shang Xiangli's gaze.

"That's quite pitiful." Xiangli muttered when she heard the words. At this time, Mr. Jiang who was sitting in the lobby also patted Xingmu and started talking.

"By the way, this daughter of the Jiang family can be regarded as a noble family. She is the only daughter of the former prince Jiang Gong who was nearly forty years old..."

Speaking of Jiang Gong, all scholars know a little bit. The annotated classics of Confucius and Mencius compiled by him are regarded as "treasures of scientific research" by many scientific research students, and they are very capable.

I heard that his appearance is also first-class, romantic and handsome, but as soon as the words "the only daughter is near forty", some scholars who know Mr. Jiang among the tea customers immediately said: "Then this Miss Jiang is probably pitiful. Yes, Duke Jiang also passed away at that time."

It must be a bit miserable to lose a father since childhood.

Mr. Jiang responded, and said again: "Ms. Jiang's mother also had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Ms. Jiang. Therefore, although Ms. Jiang came from a noble family, she didn't have the love of her parents since she was a child."

Isn't that an orphan girl?But luckier than ordinary orphans is that this Miss Jiang is Mrs. Jiang's daughter. The Jiang family all depends on Mr. Jiang's reputation, and Mr. Jiang's reputation among scholars, the family would not dare to short Ms. Jiang's name in terms of external things. Not only that, but the clan respects Miss Jiang very much.
