I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 30
Today's Minglou is bustling and lively.There was an endless stream of tea customers in the lobby on the first floor, and it was more than three times more lively than in the past.Countless young talents gather here.They chatted and greeted each other, and even strangers raised their sleeves and saluted each other, showing extreme humility.

"Hey! Isn't this the Erlang of the Liu family?" A fat young man stepped forward and greeted the man who just stepped through the threshold: "What's the matter? Brother, you just married the third concubine last year, and you want to marry Is the 'female Yan Luo' the wife?"

Erlang of the Liu family laughed loudly, and said: "Brother Lu was joking, I can marry 'Female Yan Luo', but I just heard that there will be a tea fighting meeting today, so I came to watch it."

"Yes, yes." Big Brother Lu also smiled and said, "My brothers and I have the same thoughts. I heard that today is the pick of the son-in-law of the shopkeeper Mo Da. Only the winner of the tea fight can get into the eyes of the 'female Yan Luo'."

"Hey. Brother, you know about our brother's kung fu." Liu Erlang said with a smile: "This good tea is like a beauty. If you don't carve it carefully, you won't be able to serve it. It's a pity, brother, I can only treat beauties, but I can't. Good tea." After speaking, he and Big Brother Lu laughed together.

He was overjoyed, stepped back, and bumped into a person suddenly.Before he could turn around, the man pushed himself hard and shouted, "Be careful!"

Liu Erlang's heart became angry, he turned his head and saw two teenagers standing facing each other.The one pushing himself was quite gorgeous, with a dark green woolen jacket and gauze trousers; while the other was even more luxurious.He was wearing a button-down shirt and a brown crane cloak over his coat.The so-called crane cloak is a coat woven from crane feathers, which is extremely expensive and gorgeous.The lower body is a pair of dark satin trousers, and white-soled upturned boots.

White shoes are easy to get dirty, and it takes a lot of trouble to clean them up, so ordinary people don't wear them easily.Therefore, most of the people who wear white shoes to go out are either rich or expensive.

This person's skin is fair, his face is like gentle jade, his facial features are sharp and angular, and his demeanor is quite good.Holding a folding fan tightly in his hand, he was looking at himself with a smile.

Liu Erlang was about to get angry, but seeing that these two people were unstoppable, he must be from a family of officials, so he didn't dare to get angry easily.

The boy who pushed him looked like a torch, and said, "Brother, watch out for people!"

"Yes." Liu Erlang put away his frivolity, and nodded respectfully.

The noble young master tapped his young boy on the shoulder with his folding fan, and said: "I didn't do it on purpose, let's go our separate ways."

While talking, he looked around at the layout of the Minglou, but he saw that the antique porcelain and screen carvings were all very particular.Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

The young man led the noble young master into the hall, and said as he walked, "This is the case in the market, you need to be careful outside, young master."

"What are you careful about?" Your young master looked around and said, "What the marketers want is the appearance of all living beings. If they are all like the family, and everyone is low-browed and obedient, what's the fun?"

At this moment, a clerk greeted him and said, "Dare to ask the distinguished guest, are you here for a tea fight?"

Your son and his servant looked at each other, then smiled and said: "No, we're just walking around, and we'll take a look when we see the excitement here. If there's something abrupt, please Haihan."

The clerk also laughed, and said: "Oh, since the only people who come into the store are customers, I dare to make the decision for you, open an elegant room on the second floor, and prepare you the newly arrived sweet-scented osmanthus Longjing and mung bean cakes. I don't know if it's what you want?"

Seeing that the man in front of him is very noble and his speech is gentle, he guessed that he must come from a wealthy family and must have a lot of money, so he wanted to make a fortune from him.

The young master smiled and said, "Is this Longjing produced in Jiangning?"

The man laughed and said, "Exactly. It seems that the guest officer is a master of tea tasting."

The nobleman spread out his folding fan, covered his mouth, yawned, and said: "'A cup of eternal sun will wake up your eyes, and the flowers and trees will be full of faith'. Anyway, drinking a cup of fragrant tea when you are sleepy is also a very elegant thing. .”

"Yes, yes, please come here." The waiter led the two of them to the stairs on the second floor.

They were going upstairs when they heard another commotion outside the door. "Yo! Who is this!" People were discussing.

The nobleman looked back, and saw a luxurious sedan chair at the door, and a beautiful woman dressed in the same luxurious clothes came out from it.

"Where's He Lu?" She grabbed a shop assistant and asked.

The guy's arm hurts from her pinching, so he could only whisper, "Little... I don't know."

"Hmph!" She pushed the buddy away and strode into the teahouse.Du Juan hurriedly went up to salute, and said with a smile, "Madam Wei, what kind of wind is it that brought you here."

Mrs. Wei looked her over and said, "Du Juan, I remember you. Where's the Helu people?"

"It's in my Zhengqi Pavilion." Du Juan replied.

"Zhengqixuan?" Mrs. Wei frowned, quite puzzled.

Du Juan nodded slightly and explained: "My eldest daughter's biological mother's house is named 'Yinglanju'. When the eldest daughter was ten years old, she suddenly didn't like the name, so she changed it to 'Zhengqixuan', which was taken from 'Haoran Zhengqi'. ' allusion."

Mrs. Wei nodded and praised: "This is the Helu I know." Then she turned to Du Juan and said: "Take me to see her."

Du Juan frowned, and hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "I dare to ask you, why are you looking for my eldest daughter at this moment?"

Mrs. Wei stared, and said: "What? Don't you have to report for me before I can see you?"

"Don't dare." Du Juan backed away quickly, and explained: "It's just that today is the day when my eldest son chooses a son-in-law for the girl. Madam, you came here in such a busy way, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..."

"Afraid that I will hinder your girl's marriage?" Mrs. Wei said it for her.

Du Juan just lowered his head and didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

Mrs. Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "That's right, I just want to ask your girl for clarification. With a body as precious as ours, how can we easily commit ourselves to others? Quick! Take me to see her!"

Mrs. Wei spoke quite loudly, and all the talented people present could hear her clearly.So everyone started whispering and talking again.

Du Juan looked around and felt that if she continued to yell like this, the situation would get worse, so she saluted repeatedly and said, "Yes, I will bring my wife in. You can come with me." So Du Juan and Mrs. Wei One after the other like walking in the back hall.

The noble young man stood at the stairs and looked at it for a while, then turned his head and asked the man beside him: "Your eldest daughter wants to choose a husband? How do you choose a method?"

The waiter replied: "To be honest, there are so many guests today, it is indeed the day when my eldest daughter chooses her son-in-law. As for the choice of method...you have seen it, it is the tea art."

"Hmph! How weird! How can someone choose a son-in-law like this." The servant next to your son said disapprovingly.

Your son reminded in a low voice: "Zhang Di, don't be rude." Then he smiled and continued to ask: "I don't know the name of your eldest daughter?"

The guy found it strange that the tea guests who came to the tea house may not know Mo Chenglin, but there is no one who does not know Mo Yunxiao.But since the guest asked, he had to answer.So he said: "My eldest daughter's surname is Mo, her fang name is Yunxiao, and her small character is Helu."

"Mo Yunxiao?" Zhang Di couldn't help but called out.But as soon as he yelled, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"What are you shouting about?" Your young master reprimanded slightly displeased.

Zhang Di hurriedly leaned into his ear and said, "My lord, I've heard a witty saying in Tokyo. 'It's better to touch Kaifeng Mansion than Mo Yunxiao; I'd rather eat three fights of vinegar than Mo Helu'."

"Oh?" Your young master was a little surprised, but at the same time curious, he asked, "Where did you start talking about it?"

"My lord, I heard people say that in the street before, so I don't know for sure." Zhang Di replied.

The store clerk smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly urged: "The two of you should come with the younger ones."

He brought the two of them into an elegant room, and introduced: "It must be the first time for the two guests to come here. Our tea house is no different from other tea shops and tea houses. There are no singers and dance music. Only good tea and snacks. But..." He pointed to a desk on the right and said, "There are go and chess here. If you two have time, you can play a game."

"There is work, there is work." Zhang Di bowed again and again, took out a small silver ingot from his arms, stuffed it into the hands of the shop assistant, and said, "A small profit is not a respect."

But the clerk hastily pushed his hand and said, "You can't make it. You don't know that this is not what our teahouse is doing."

Your young master was still looking at the layout of the room, but he was startled when he heard his words, he quickly turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

The clerk smiled bitterly, and said: "The rule set by our eldest girl is that only tea money is charged, nothing else."

The nobleman's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Interesting and interesting."

"You wait a moment, I'm going to prepare tea for you." He was about to leave, but was stopped by the nobleman: "Wait a moment, you just said that today is the day when your eldest daughter fights tea to choose a son-in-law. The people below are all here to choose a son-in-law?"

"Exactly." The shop assistant replied.

The young master asked again, "What kind of tea are they fighting for?"

"It's snow bud tea, a specialty of Mount Emei." The store clerk replied.

The young master nodded and said, "I don't want my sweet-scented osmanthus Longjing tea, please give me this snow bud tea too."

The store clerk and Zhang Di were startled when they heard the words, and they both stared at him with wide eyes.

The young master smiled and said, "What? Am I not worthy to fight tea?"

"No, no, little one, let's go now." After saying that, the buddy hurriedly backed out.

Zhang Di hurriedly closed the door, came up and said, "My lord, do you want to participate in the tea fight too?"

The young master walked around with a smile, and said, "This Mo Yunxiao is really curious. I want to meet him."

"This girl is not easy to deal with," Zhang Di reminded.

The young master nodded, then turned around and asked, "The one who was yelling in the hall just now, but Mrs. Wei, Zeng Bu's wife?"

"It must be her." Zhang Di said: "This Mrs. Wei is very domineering, just like Mo Yunxiao."

The young master chuckled, walked to the screen, admired the paintings on it, and stopped talking.
