Need for a Guard

Ma Wuchang clutched his sleeves tightly, frowned, and with his swollen mouth flickering, he said dreamily, "100 taels of silver...a cup? This...how is this possible?"

A few bored wits looked at Ma Wuchang with some unexpected 'emotions', and cheered around, waiting to see his jokes!

"Yes! Young Master is right!"

The little maid showed a youthful smile, smiling very sweetly.

Delicately stretching out her little loli-like hand, she stretched it out in front of Ma Wuchang, and said crisply: "The tea in our charming pavilion is snow lotus tea picked from Tianshan Mountain. It tastes pure, fresh and elegant, and it's delicious! 100 Two silver coins are really cheap, Mr. Ma, don’t you think so?”

Cheap!

Cheap fart, this is the exploitation and squeezing of Chiguoguo!

Although the little maid looks delicate and cute, especially under the temptation of this white shirt and black stockings, she looks more pure and elegant!

But at this moment, where does Ma Wuchang have the desire to appreciate beauties?

Ma Wuchang intends to play tricks, but seeing the disdainful eyes of all the talents surrounding him, he also knows that now, no matter what, he can no longer do that kind of dirty thing like "a shrew swearing at the street"!

If not, these jealous guys will really throw themselves out like a dead dog.

Hey... I admit it!

These 100 taels of silver...the death is really wronged!

Ma Wuchang pretended to be free and unrestrained and took out a bank note, but turned around and saw that there was also a fat talented man drinking tea in the distance, he leaned over and saw that it was exactly the same tea as his own. ,

Ma Wuchang asked, and the man replied with a grin: "This tea is only ten taels of silver, but it's the Tianshan snow lotus. It's really worth the money. Mr. Ma, why don't you have a cup too!"

Ma Wuchang was furious!

Pointing at the pretty little girl, she blushed and said, "Stinky girl, you have eaten the guts of a leopard. The same tea, why does he sell it to me for ten taels of silver, but sells it to me for 100 taels of silver? This... this Aren't you blatantly bullying me?"

The little girl was startled, her mouth twitched, and she timidly replied: "This is... This is the rule of the Charming Pavilion... Mr. Ma, don't get angry, I... I'm so scared."

"What breaks the rules? You're telling me the truth... Is it because you secretly raised the price?" Ma Wuchang was furious, as if he had finally grasped the loophole of the Charming Pavilion, and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

"Oh! Mr. Ma, you put out the fire!"

You Lan twisted her waist again, walked happily in front of Ma Wuchang, blinked her eyes, and giggled coquettishly: "Mr. Ma, the voice is so loud, be careful to frighten the little sister."

"I inquired about it just now, and my little sister is right. This is indeed the rule of the Charming Pavilion, and it is definitely not that she is fooling you carelessly."

Ma Wuchang was shocked by You Lan's eyes, and said blankly: "I want to hear what the rules are."

You Lan covered her little pink mouth, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma doesn't know something. The talented scholars who can enter the Charming Pavilion all come in after passing the test of Mr. Chen. They all have real talents and real learning. There are detailed records!"

"And all the precious refreshments in the Charming Pavilion are exclusively for these talented people. This is also the characteristic of the Charming Pavilion, and they are never bought or sold."

"However, Mr. Ma, you must understand how you entered the threshold of the Charming Pavilion! In principle, the refreshments in the Charming Pavilion are not open to you. No matter how much money you have, you can't drink the charming pavilion. The fragrant tea in the middle!"

"It's just that Miss Hongxing has a kind heart, so it's convenient for you just now. Mr. Ma, how could you misunderstand the good intentions of Miss Hongxing and the little maid instead?"

Ma Wuchang felt aggrieved!

Do I have to pay 100 taels of silver for tea, and still be grateful to Charming Pavilion?Can we not make such a torturous joke?

Ma Wuchang had no other choice but to admit that he was cowardly, and paid a hundred silver bills to the little maid in distress.

He held the tea carefully, raised his head and drank it clean, wishing to wash off all the water stains on the teacup: every drop of water is very valuable!

But a cup of tea was not enough to quench his thirst, and the tea was really mellow, which hooked the thirsty worm in Ma Wuchang's stomach.

With a blushing face, he said periodically, "Isn't there any cheaper tea?"

You Lan smiled and replied: "I actually inquired about it just now. There is no Charming Pavilion, but Miss Hongxing just told me that Mr. Ma is a distinguished guest. Even if there is no one, you must find a way to get it."

Turning around, he smiled at the little maid again: "Little sister, why don't you hurry up and get it?"

The little maid turned around and went...

Only then did Ma Wuchang show a satisfied smile: This is not too bad. Fortunately, I asked one more question, otherwise, it would be another 100 taels of silver, which would be in vain.

A crowd of talented scholars gathered around to watch the show by coincidence!

The little maid came back obediently after a while, and brought two completely different cups of tea on the tea tray.

Ma Wuchang leaned forward to look at the tea tray, and asked, "Why are there two cups of tea?" He stretched out his big hand, and was about to grab the teacup on the left.

The little girl smiled and dodged it, and said softly, "Mr. Ma, the cup on the right is yours, and the cup on the left is the Tianshan snow lotus tea you tasted just now. It was ordered by that young master."

The little maid raised her small hand and pointed to the fat young man just now.

The fat man came up with a smile, picked up the cup of Tianshan snow lotus tea, and drank it happily in front of Ma Wuchang, occasionally exclaiming: "Good tea! Good tea!"

The little maid brought another cup of tea in front of Ma Wuchang, and said obediently: "Mr. Ma, this tea is loose-leaf tea. It's three coins a bowl. You can enjoy it slowly!"

A bowl of three coins?

Mr. Ma jumped, and while taking the teacup, he was also curious: Is there such a cheap tea in the world?

Looking at the probe, his eyes were full of surprise, he stared straight at the tea, his body froze there.

All the talents were also curious, tilting their heads and looking forward.

But the so-called pine leaf tea is just brewed from some broken tree leaves!

All the talents looked at each other, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Wuchang's face was flushed red by the ridicule, holding a teacup, he didn't know how to express his anger.

The fat talented man leaned over with a smile, pointed to Ma Wuchang's pine leaf tea, and praised: "Mr. Ma, it really is a good taste. It has reached the realm of returning to the basics. I am an ordinary person, and I am ashamed of myself! For example, such I can't drink loose leaf tea, or maybe Mr. Ma can appreciate the artistic conception in it?"

You Lan smiled and narrowly said: "Well... Mr. Ma's artistic conception is really brilliant! Mr. Ma, what are you still doing in a daze? Drink it quickly, and describe the deliciousness of loose leaf tea to us."

The talented scholars were all smiles, and following Youlan's wishes, they kept putting a big hat on Ma Wuchang's head, forcing him to drink the loose-leaf tea.

Ma Wuchang listened to everyone's words from you and me, and he was so angry that his heart trembled.

I thought to myself, if I really drink this pine leaf tea today, tomorrow in the literati circle in the capital city, it will be rumored that I am a shabby hukou with no quality, no money, and no realm.

After that, in this circle, you're still a fart, even Zeng Tong will kick him away!

Thinking of this, Ma Wuchang felt extremely angry, picked up the teacup, swung his arms, and was about to throw it on the ground, wanting to smash this cup of loose leaf tea into pieces.

However, he swung his arm in mid-air, but held back his anger, and obediently put the teacup into the little maid's tea tray.

Because, he suddenly discovered that the floor was a precious Persian carpet!If it was scratched by a fragment of the teacup, wouldn't he have to pay for it and go bankrupt?

Ma Wuchang was in a cold sweat: Impulse is the devil!

The little maid was puzzled, and said timidly: "Mr. Ma, are you not thirsty yet? Why did you put the loose leaf tea back..."

Ma Wuchang let out a long breath, endured the pain, and said in a low voice: "Go, bring me Tianshan snow lotus tea, isn't it just 100 taels for a cup? I have plenty of money..."
