I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 420: Hello, madam, you are more charming!

Su Changan looked at his wife's surprised expression. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Yes!"

Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang immediately said: "Well, how big are you? When did you learn it? Why didn't I know?"

Su Changan hesitated to speak, he couldn't continue talking about what he learned in the village. Because this was a bit too outrageous, I thought about it and said, "I'll keep it as a surprise for you."

Xia Fengxiang: "Huh?"

Su Changan reached out and put his hand on Xia Fengxiang's head: "I'll go get the hairpin for you first."

Xia Fengxiang squinted his eyes and couldn't see Su Changan escaping, but after thinking about it, he had enough time to ask clearly, so he nodded: "Since you are going, let's bring the Tea King's tea as well."

Although he said that, looking at Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang felt like this person! It seems that this person still has a lot of things he doesn’t know!

Su Changan saw the meaning of this look and smiled awkwardly: "Okay!"

After saying that, Su Changan glanced at the front of the tea house and found that someone had already gone up, but it was nothing. He turned and walked towards the outside of the private room.

The so-called "ordering tea" is actually a way of making tea.

It is also a kind of etiquette.

"Well, that's right, but this Xiayi Tea House actually invited Liang Shilun to take charge of the tea house. What a generous move."

"Is this shopkeeper Pang the shopkeeper of the Xiayi Tea House that I opened some time ago?"

Liang Shilun?

Is Suzhou and Hangzhou ranked first in tea fighting during the Lantern Festival this year?

When Shopkeeper Liu saw this man, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Shopkeeper Pang."

"The first one to come is Mr. Zhou. Maybe he will just take the tea king away."

Shopkeeper Liu was surprised when he heard this.

"It's possible, but I feel like I'm here to demonstrate. Mr. Zhou is in danger. I heard that Liang Shilun easily won the tea fight this year. And he was ranked twelfth on the poetry list!"

……

Let the girls and ladies watching outside whisper in low voices one by one.

"I feel like this event by Shopkeeper Liu is going to turn into a tea fight."

The thin man named Shopkeeper Pang bowed in return, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu is having such a big event today, and I am here to support him."

"Shopkeeper Liu."

but.

Liang Shilun is the number one in Jiangnan, and he is very important!

When the people around heard this, those who knew about it all looked at Liang Shilun and then at Shopkeeper Pang, and pursed their lips.

"Oh, Tencha started preparing water at the same time. Mr. Zhou is really brave as a master of art. He is not afraid that the water will be damaged after the second boil."

Over time, activities such as "tea fighting" using "tea ordering" techniques also gradually appeared.

The tea culture in the south of the Yangtze River is more popular than in the north, especially there are many chambers of commerce that deal with tea business. Every year during the Lantern Festival, these major chambers of commerce will hold an event called "Tea Fighting".

"I don't know if Mr. Zhou has prepared any poems. I think with his tea-ordering skills, he will have no problem getting the hairpin. But I don't know if Mr. Zhou can write poems that satisfy Shopkeeper Liu."

Shopkeeper Liu was standing on one side without saying anything or disturbing. All the tools for ordering tea had been prepared. It just depended on the skill of this person.

……

This made this handsome and talented Confucian scholar in Chenzhou City look even more charming.

[Order tea] is one of them.

Just like the young Confucian scholar who was currently in the tea house, carefully baking the tea cakes in his hands, he saw the color changes on the tea cakes, and even smelled the fragrance on the tea cakes to judge the changes.

After that, it’s time to drink tea, and then it’s time to order tea, which is more important.

"Master Zhou, come on!"

And this Mr. Zhou does such an elegant thing, and he also looks extra serious and careful.

"Why are there still people questioning Master Zhou's literary talent? Have they forgotten that he was a Jinshi the year before last? But Mr. Zhou just doesn't want to be an official."

If there is even a slight mistake during this period, the flavor of the tea will be damaged, so the craftsmanship of the tea is extremely important.

Of course, the skill of "ordering tea" is becoming more and more demanding, especially in Tencha. The process of preparing tea after getting Luo Cha is the most important thing for the skill of the tea maker.

And in the tea house, Mr. Zhou who was making tea facing outside could naturally hear the words outside. The corners of his mouth raised. It was really enjoyable to be praised and praised like this. However, he did not raise his eyes to look, he just looked down. After all, the first step in ordering tea is to prepare water.

"Young Master Zhou is the first in the tea fighting competition during the Lantern Festival this year. How could it be damaged? Besides, if you smell it carefully, the tea cakes baked by Mr. Zhou will smell just right."

With that said, Shopkeeper Pang gestured, and the scholar behind him immediately saluted Shopkeeper Liu: "Liang Shilun, a late student, has met Shopkeeper Liu."

Just like in Chenzhou City, Mr. Zhou Xin'an won the first place in the tea fight in Chenzhou City this year.

To this day, serving guests with tea is regarded as the greatest etiquette for guests.

But looking at the tea-ordering technique of Mr. Zhou, the famous person in Chenzhou City, he secretly praised him.

At this time, some people came out of the crowd, led by a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, followed by a scholar.

"That's right, Master Zhou's literary talent is nothing to say, he will definitely be able to get the tea leaves picked by the Tea King."

Others, too, looked at the Confucian scholar and spoke one after another.

"Good guy, this is for the Tea King's tea. I heard that the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce has always wanted to acquire Cui's Tea House and the Cui family's tea mountain. Their purpose is to get the Tea King tree on the mountain."

Wenzhi and martial arts are popular in Daxia, especially among the literati. Due to the rise of tea culture, a long time ago, in addition to making friends with wine, these literati and poets also popularized another way of making friends with tea. Over time, it was just ordinary sencha. Making tea could not satisfy the elegance of our literati, so various tea cultures emerged.

Seeing those women who were obsessed with Mr. Zhou speak, the people around him sighed and said nothing more.

Therefore, even people who are very skilled in tea-ordering skills will be cautious when ordering tea.

Everyone said this, but looking at the smile on Shopkeeper Pang's face, and the expression on Liang Shilun's contemptuous glance at Mr. Zhou, everyone felt inexplicably that Shopkeeper Pang had the illusion of bringing someone to cause trouble.

but

No wonder these people looked at it this way.

The main reason is that the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce came in force. After arriving at the end of October last year, it successively annexed several major tea houses in Chenzhou, and took half of the tea business in Chenzhou City into its arms.

And I heard that the remaining tea houses that have not been sold, including the shopkeeper Liu, have all been contacted by the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, but these tea house owners are unwilling to sell, but the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce still refuses to give up.

even

I heard that the shop owner of Qian's Tea House said that he was threatened by someone, and many people speculated that it was the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce that did it.

And behind the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce is the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce, one of the two major chambers of commerce in Jiangnan.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Liang Shilun and knew the purpose of Shopkeeper Pang's visit, but he didn't show it. He said with a smile: "I've heard Mr. Liang's name for a long time, it's really extraordinary."

Liang Shilun smiled.

Shopkeeper Pang said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I specially invited Mr. Liang to come over to support you. You have to treat me to a meal."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "It should be."

After saying that, he immediately looked at the waiter behind him: "Go and get ready, please order Mr. Liang some tea."

I was just ordering tea, so there was no need to say those polite words.

Shopkeeper Pang smiled when he saw this, stood aside and looked at Liang Shilun.

Mr. Liang Shilun and Mr. Liang saluted Shopkeeper Liu and said, "If you are born late, you will be embarrassed."

After that, he sat down towards the seat where the guy had brought the spring water.

But before sitting down, Liang Shilun glanced at Zhou Xin'an's desk over there, and the contempt on his face became more obvious. The blisters on the eyes of fish and crabs are so dense that they are not taken away yet, that's all.

After just a glance, Liang Shilun was too lazy to look at Zhou Xin'an. After sitting down, he picked up the tea cake on the table and smelled it.

The tea is pretty good.

Not old tea.

Then, Liang Shilun gently rolled up his sleeves, looked at the eyes of the audience looking at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and let you see it.

Thinking like this, Liang Shilun picked up the tea cake, not baking it, but gently patting it on the table, as if intending to remove all the outer layer.

Seeing this scene, everyone frowned.

Only old tea needs to be roasted and then crushed to stimulate the aroma of old tea that has been stored for too long.

but.

Liang Shilun's current action is the way to treat new tea.

Could it be that the tea was not old tea? But judging from the appearance and color, it was definitely old tea.

Zhou Xin'an also saw it over there. His expression was startled and he immediately looked at his tea foam.

He couldn't help but look solemn.

He likes to be in the limelight and even more so to be praised, so when he saw the activities at Liu's Tea House, he immediately stood up.

But what I didn't expect was that Liang Shilun came.

He has never met Liang Shilun, but he has heard about him, especially the rumors that he knows tea, tastes tea, and orders tea with extraordinary skills, and few people can compare with him.

Especially Zhou Xin'an also felt that shopkeeper Pang had brought Liang Shilun here, and it was clear that he was here to cause trouble. After all, he had also heard about the conflicts between the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce and the remaining Chenzhou Tea House.

but.

Isn’t this inexplicably turning into a tea fight?

Chenzhou ranks first in tea fighting during the Shangyuan Festival.

Competing with the No. 1 tea contender on the Shangyuan Festival in Jiangnan.

But at the moment, seeing Liang Shilun judge that the tea cake was actually new tea, Zhou Xin'an felt a heavy weight in her heart and became even more nervous.

You want to be in the limelight, but you don’t want to be the one that others step on!

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

But now I got the tea cake again

This is an implicit recognition of Liang Shilun, which will definitely catch people's tongue.

Zhou Xin'an had a heavy heart and regretted that she shouldn't have stood up. If she looked more closely, she would see Shopkeeper Pang coming out, and she would just leave when the time came.

Zhou Xin'an's face no longer looked relaxed. The onlookers could clearly see that the women who admired Zhou Xin'an became even more nervous.

Shopkeeper Pang looked at the expressions of the people below and laughed with satisfaction. He glanced at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Humph, I want to take this opportunity to find someone who can give Cui Ping some tea. Can't we see this little thought?" I'm here to watch today, who dares to come out and look for trouble!

Shopkeeper Liu had a smile on his face, but his heart was solemn.

On the second floor of the restaurant opposite the tea house, Xia Fengxiang stood at the window and watched this scene. After looking at shopkeeper Pang with a slightly amused expression, he looked at the door of the restaurant, waiting for Su Changan.

On the other hand, the few Jianghu people in the private room next to them were also standing at the window, looking at Shopkeeper Pang and Shopkeeper Liu, whose appearance and aura had gone up and down just now.

"It's really aggressive. We're all here with Shopkeeper Liu. We'll leave later. If we can invite Liang Shilun, we might also spend money to hire someone. We can't afford this. Let Shopkeeper Cui take care of himself. Thank you. Anyway, we have done everything for him."

The tall man spoke.

The person next to him naturally nodded.

However, when one person looked at the surrounding audience, he saw a 'girl' walking out of the restaurant.

He couldn't help but froze for a moment, and at the same time pursed his lips: "Brother, look at that person!"

Hearing this, the eldest brother in the world lowered his head and looked over. When he saw it, his expression was startled. What a beautiful woman!

And it's not just them

When Su Changan walked out of the restaurant and planned to pass through the crowd to enter the tea house, many people saw him.

And these people, both men and women, all looked stunned.

Su Changan didn't care about such looks. After all, he was used to it. Who made him look so good-looking?

Is there such a beautiful young lady in Chenzhou City?

Everyone was surprised.

Next to Su Changan, Li Xizhi helped clear the way.

So I immediately walked to the tea house.

When everyone saw Su Changan, Shopkeepers Liu and Pang naturally saw it too.

Especially shopkeeper Pang's eyes widened when he saw Su Chang'an. What was in those little eyes could be seen at a glance.

Even Zhou Xin'an and Liang Shilun, who were ordering tea, just raised their eyes and glanced at Su Changan, but they couldn't move their eyes away and just looked at him like this.

Su Changan looked at Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper, I want to participate."

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

In fact, he was already prepared that no one would be willing to participate. After all, Shopkeeper Pang brought Liang Shilun here, which had blocked the way for others to participate.

Especially Liang Shilun's behavior, which inexplicably turned this event into a tea fight. Who would be willing to come up and embarrass themselves?

But I didn't expect that the person in front of me would actually participate.

This surprised Shopkeeper Liu, but since someone wanted to participate, it was a good thing, so Shopkeeper Liu immediately said with a smile: "Everyone can participate in today's tea house event. Girl, please come over here."

Su Changan smiled.

Shopkeeper Pang, on the other hand, came up and looked at Su Changan: "This girl, may I ask your surname and which famous family you are from."

Su Changan glanced at Shopkeeper Pang and said, "I'm married, I'm no longer a girl."

heard this

The people around were amazed again.

Who has such a good life to be able to marry such a fairy-like woman? He must have done a great good deed in his previous life.

When the shopkeeper Pang heard this, he was stunned and seemed to become more interested. No wonder he has such charm and is already married. That would be great!

……

Ps: The empress and the queen stand side by side and wish everyone a happy new year.

But the Queen thought for a moment and felt that this was too ordinary, so she carried the Empress on her shoulders.

The two clasped their fists and said in unison to all readers: "Happy New Year everyone."

but.

This time she bent down, the empress was about to fall.

The empress had quick eyes and quick hands, and she directly held the empress in her arms like a princess.

Their eyes met.

The empress said: "I'm here to pay my New Year greetings. Let me down quickly."

The Empress said: "Kiss me to help everyone celebrate the New Year."

……

PS: Happy New Year everyone.
