I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 4
The moon has risen in the east, and the lanterns have just come on.Tokyo City, which has been quiet all day, finally has some festive atmosphere.The people from the Bingma Huangcheng Division disappeared at some point.

In front of the Daxiangguo Temple, there is a lot of people, and there are many tourists on both sides of the Tianjie Street.And this Jinming Pond was even more noisy, crowded with people.

A new round of dragon boat races is about to begin.Those dragon boats have different shapes, but the bows of the boats are all images of glaring dragon kings, which are vividly portrayed by skillful craftsmen, which is shocking.

The rowing sailors are gearing up, and several of them have already jumped on the dragon boat, ready to compete at any time.

At this time, the gong sounded suddenly.A boy riding a fast horse came galloping.He was wearing a green and purple robe, and he was wearing sky-high boots, each of which was inlaid with a green gemstone.He is riding a green horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is very handsome.

The boy on horseback galloped while beating the gong, which shows that his riding skills are extraordinary.And everyone in Tokyo can tell that he is a servant of Prince Duan's mansion.So no matter how many tourists there are, no one dares to give in.

He rode his horse to the edge of the gazebo where the sailors were resting, and when he reined in the horse, the horse neighed, stopped its four hooves, and just circled in place.

The young man said in a shrill voice: "King Duan will be here in no time, and the dragon boat will not start until Wang Jia arrives."

The sailors looked at each other, and they all turned to worship, and they all said yes.Seeing this, Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er couldn't help but look at each other and smiled wryly.

"This Duan Wang is also a childish temper, he just picks up the excitement." Huan'er muttered in a low voice: "If he doesn't come, he won't be able to row the dragon boat. Well, if he doesn't come, today's competition will be suspended ?”

The master and servant are sitting on the second floor of a tea house, and they can see the crowd and horses outside from the window.

"Where are you complaining so much?" Mo Yunxiao choked her, and said: "Who doesn't know about Duan Wang's temper? We don't have to watch dragon boats. There are many fun things to do during the Lantern Festival. He sees His, let's visit ours."

"Oh, so what else?" Huan'er sighed.

Before the words were finished, there was a shout from a distance: "King Duan is here! The people give in! King Duan is here! The people are back..."

Everyone looked around, and saw two groups of men and horses wearing bright red robes clearing the way, beating gongs and drums neatly, followed by a luxurious orange sedan chair slowly approaching.

"It's King Duan!" Huan'er stretched her neck and shouted.

"Auspicious King Duan!" The common people bowed and saluted one after another, showing no disrespect.Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er, who were still in the distance, looked down from the pavilion of a teahouse, and saw the people bustling with each other, and King Duan's brigade was surging like a river flowing into the sea.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse walked over lightly, and called out with a smile, "Miss Mo's family."

Mo Yunxiao turned her head and asked, "What?"

"Hey, Xiao Di is very happy that the lady of the Mo family can visit the shop." The shop owner rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Wang Duan will go to the lake pavilion to watch the dragon boats later. People will naturally Followed. The business of the small shop is..."

Mo Yunxiao sized him up and down, feeling somewhat suspicious: "What do you mean?"

The shop owner patted his chest and said: "Although the small shop is not conspicuous, the terrain is very good. From the position where the lady is standing, you can watch Jinming Pond from a condescending position. Hehe, although it is a little far away, you can't see it clearly, but you can cook a pot of good tea. But it is also rare. So the little old man has a plan, and he boldly mentioned it when his wife Ke Qiaoer came to visit..."

"You want to use the leaves from our tea house, don't you?" Huan'er interrupted him and asked quite proudly.

The owner of the shop was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands together, and shouted: "Oh, this girl is also exquisite, she guessed it right. The leaves of our Minglou are famous." Minglou Xiang Take a leaf from the cup, and Mother Wang comes to exchange the Panyuan'. Hehe, the Queen Mother can give up the entire peach garden in order to get a leaf from our Minglou. What a pomp. I despise the little old man’s money. However, our stall is in this Jinming Lake, and King Duan also visits from time to time. Maybe one day he will come to our shop with the intention of tasting tea. Isn’t that also the reputation of our tea house? Is it more prominent?"

Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile, and slowly raised her head to look at him: "Your words are pleasing to the ear. But you also know that although the leaves of our tea house are good, the skill of dividing and ordering tea is unmatched in the world. To put it bluntly Well, teahouses not only sell tea, but also kung fu. There are many tea stalls in Tokyo that use our leaves, but their tea doctors have to go to our school for three years as apprentices before they can become teachers. And this is just for appearance Yes, it’s far from home. There was a saying by Lu Yu in the former Tang Dynasty that spring water should be used to make tea, and well water should be used below. Shichen, that is even more tormenting. You, an old man, are at least sixty years old, how can you stand this torment."

"It's worth it." The shopkeeper bowed again and again, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's rare for the lady of the Mo family to come here. The little old man can't make tea well, but he's not Baiding either. I'll go and order two bowls right now." , just take a look at the color of the flowers, if you can get the golden eyes, please ask the lady to go back and give a lot of good words."

He said he was about to leave, but Mo Yunxiao stopped him: "Slow down!" The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then turned around again.

Mo Yunxiao sighed, and said: "It's rare that you are so sincere, no matter. You can try it tomorrow. However, my family also has rules. There is no money for apprentices, and you have to take care of your own board and lodging. If you are halfway Run away, or get sick and die, that has nothing to do with Minglou."

The owner of the store felt overjoyed when he heard the words, clapped his palms again, and said tremblingly: "The eldest lady is really a living Bodhisattva, and the little old man is grateful for your kindness!"

"Okay, we're going to watch the dragon boat race. There's no one here, so let's take a break earlier." Mo Yunxiao got up and walked away with Huan'er.The shopkeeper still kept bowing behind them: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness..."

At this time, King Duan's driver had gone to the pavilion in the middle of the lake with small boats, and the noise on the shore resumed.

Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er walked together.Those who sold lanterns, made sugar, played tricks, and played sumo all attracted countless tourists to watch and applaud. Only the two masters and servants did not stop to watch.

"Girl, look at the shopkeeper is so old, can he bear that suffering?" Huan'er walked and said, "If something happens to him later, will people outside talk about us using power to overwhelm others?" Is it? Although our family is rich and honored, it is no better than the Duke Hou Men's Mansion. If the reputation is bad, the brand of Minglou will also go down."

Mo Yunxiao nodded, and said, "You are right. However, what the old man said woke me up."

Huan'er blinked her eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Prince Duan often comes to swim in the lake. If he is really happy, it is not impossible to drink tea in front of his stall." Mo Yunxiao said: "If King Duan likes the leaves of our tea house, maybe, It is also helpful for Shigure's scientific research."

"Ah?" Huan'er was a little disappointed, and said, "It turns out that this is what the girl has in mind."

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "Isn't this a bad idea? Shi Yu has studied hard for more than ten years, isn't it just for the big exam next year?"

"But he is the second girl's elder brother after all." Huan'er pouted and said, "The second girl and the third girl are at odds with you. If her brother is awarded Jinshi, then she will not be able to ride on our heads up?"

"With my Mo Yunxiao's abilities, can she do it?" Mo Yunxiao smiled, then raised her eyes to look in the direction of the Huxin Pavilion, only to see crowds of figures, which couldn't be seen clearly.

"Well, whatever you say is what you want." Huan'er didn't want to continue this topic, so she turned her eyes elsewhere, and happened to see a kite seller.Those kites have different shapes, including Dali King Kong, Chang'e Fairy, carp jumping over the dragon gate...

She couldn't help clapping her hands and shouted: "Girl, look, those kites are so beautiful. Let's buy one and play with it."

Mo Yunxiao chuckled, then reached into her bosom, took out a purse, then stuffed it heavily into Huan'er's palm, and said, "Take it. But, save some money."

"Ha! Thank you, Miss, for the reward!" Huan'er took the purse and ran towards the place where the kites were sold.

Huan'er's temper is frizzy, and she can't suppress her joy when she sees something interesting.She trotted all the way to the kite stand, relying on her height, squeezed into the crowd of children, and said to the kite vendor, "Get me the best one!"

The peddler chuckled and said, "As far as the kite is concerned, all my kites are good. It depends on which one the lady likes?"

Huan'er looked around and saw that there were all kinds of kites, all kinds of shapes and colors, and it was really dazzling.

"I want that...the golden armor general!" She said and passed the purse in her hand forward.

The children beside her yelled loudly: "Bullying people... bullying people... I fell in love with that golden-armored general first!"

The peddler, on the other hand, laughed, and stretched out his hand to receive the money, saying, "Even General Jin Jia can't spend so much money. So, let's make up for you another lantern for Chang'e flying to the moon. Shangyuan, let's add a lot of money." .”

Huan'er kept nodding her head and said, "Well, that's right."

Just when the peddler was about to take the purse in her hand, there was a shout behind her, and the crowd became commotion.

Huan'er heard the strange movement, and quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I fell into the water! I fell into the water! Someone fell into the water!", "Hurry up and save someone!", "A lady fell into the water!"...

Huan'er took a deep breath, and squeezed out from the crowd again. The peddler kept calling: "Lady! Madam..." Huan'er turned a deaf ear and ran all the way back.

At this time, several strong young men jumped into the water "plop plop plop" in the lake, stirring up layers of white waves.Huan'er looked around, but her own girl had long since disappeared, and she felt a little nervous, so she shouted loudly: "Girl! Girl..."

While shouting, she opened her eyes to search, but all she saw was the panicked crowd, where was the figure of her own girl?

She held the purse tightly in her hand, and muttered softly: "Amitabha, I hope it's not my girl who fell into the water..."

But at this moment, two rowing sailors who jumped into the water had picked up the woman who fell into the water.Someone with sharp eyes shouted tearfully: "Oh! It's the eldest lady of the Mo family in Minglou!"

Huaner's eyes widened, and she ran to the lake in three steps at a time, crying in her mouth, "Big girl!"

Fortunately, someone stopped her, otherwise she would really jump into the water.
