Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 30
A few days passed.

Although the Xue family was kicked out of the house and humiliated, they did not make any move after all.

The Dong family has always been officials, and the Xue family has always been businessmen, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and the hierarchy is strict.

Although the status of merchants in Chen State is not low, compared with officials, it is still inferior.

……

In the past few days, Zhu Xiuyuan has been very leisurely every day.

Either he was practicing calligraphy with his wife, or he was taking his wife and maids out to play in the street.

Occasionally, I was holding a vertical book with no punctuation marks and chewing on it...

This kind of ancient book looks very laborious, so I read it very slowly.

So far, Zhu Xiuyuan has only briefly read some history-related books.

I have not read any of the rest, such as poems, songs, and miscellaneous notes about characters.

As for Dong Shuyu, she has completely emerged from the shadow of that incident and is no different from before.

I devote my energy to the tea house business every day...

Now, Dong's Tea House has officially sold new tea.

In addition, there are matching ceramic tea sets, such as tea cans, teapots, tea cups, tea cups, tea cups, etc.

New tea is not cheap.

The weight unit is calculated based on "two".

It can be described as huge profits!

The tea house is full every day, business is very good, and a lot of tea sets are also sold.

Added up, the profit of the tea house is actually a terrifying figure...

This situation directly led to Zhu Xiuyuan's status in the Dong Mansion rising.

The boys and maids used to call Zhu Xiuyuan uncle out of etiquette.

But now, it's out of respect in my heart.

……

Huafu.

atrium.

Jiangzhou Governor Hua Chaoshi, his son Huajianhu, and Jiangzhou Sima Wanqian gathered here again.

"Sir, if we carry out our plan, we will really help Dong's Tea House a big favor!"

"Nowadays, the name of fried tea is not only known in the four counties of Jiangzhou, but also in neighboring Ezhou, Xuanzhou, Hongzhou, Raozhou and other places..."

Wan Qian took a sip of green tea soup with a smile, then his smile faded and he frowned slightly.

"But sir, we have spent so much effort to spread the name of fried tea, but the result is that the Dong's tea house is full of guests every day, and the money is rolling in, but it flows into the Dong family …”

"Xiaguan is so worried. Sir, when are we going to take action? We really want to catch this hen that lays golden eggs in our hands immediately."

"Yes, father, this fried tea is just a hen that lays golden eggs, but it has been nesting in the Dong family... My son feels uncomfortable. He always feels like he has lost thousands or even thousands of taels." Huajian Huye echoed.

"Master Wan, Hu'er, don't be anxious."

Hua Chaoshi took a sip of tea soup with a smile. He liked drinking this kind of tea more and more.

"It's too early to close the net now, at least until the fish are plump!"

"My lord is saying that the official is impatient." Wan Qian answered with cupped hands.

"But father, the Xue family a few days ago..."

"Hmph! The Xue family, Xue Baochang of the Xue family, just married a daughter to the King of Shaozhou and became a concubine, and his tail is raised to the sky. Hey, the Xue family can't make a fortune!"

"Sir, why is this?" Wan Qian asked in confusion.

Hua Chaoshi smiled and said nothing and did not answer.

Huajian Hu, however, didn't take his father's words seriously. …

Soon the party ended and Wan Qian left.

Huajian Hu also left the house for an excuse and came to a secret place in the city.

"How did things go?" Huajianhu asked coldly.

thump!
A man who looked like a little gangster knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me..."

bump!
Huajianhu kicked it away more than ten feet away.

The man lay on the ground struggling for a long time, then knelt and shouted: "Master, spare your life..."

"Shut up, I'm asking you how things went? Just answer truthfully, I won't kill you." Huajian said with a smile.

"Master... I approached the Dong's Tea House, but I didn't expect... Outside the tea house, there were generals from Poyang Prince's Palace guarding there, pretending to be ordinary people. The kids didn't dare to get close... …”

"A general from Poyang Prince's Palace?!" Hua Jianhu's expression changed, his brows furrowed, and he murmured: "When did the Dong family... become involved with Poyang Prince's Palace..."

"Master?"

brush!
Huajian Hu pulled out a sword and wiped the man's neck directly.

……

at the same time.

Poyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the new tea set, this is the tea can, this is the teapot, this is the tea cup, this is the tea cup..."

The palace steward pointed to a pile of porcelain and explained them one by one with a smile on his face.

"That's right." King Poyang twirled his beard and said with a chuckle: "Using a teacup is indeed much more interesting. Using a teacup... always makes me think it's for drinking."

"What the lord said is very true!"

After taking a sip of the tea soup, King Poyang suddenly felt something in his heart, "Such a wonderful tea, coupled with such a tea set, I think your majesty will like it."

When the palace steward heard this, he immediately realized that this was an extremely serious matter, so he hurriedly bowed and listened carefully.

"Let's do this. You go prepare a batch of new tea and a batch of new tea sets. They will be sent to the palace overnight as a gift from the king."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately and keep it safe."

"Well, go ahead. By the way..."

The palace steward immediately stopped and looked at King Poyang.

"You said just now that someone wants to take over Dong's Tea House?"

"Reporting to the prince, that's exactly what happened."

"Have you found out who it is? The new tea is very likely to be selected as a tribute, so Dong's Tea House... must not have any problems." King Poyang said.

"For the time being... we haven't found out yet... But my lord, this old servant remembered something again. A few days ago, the Xue family wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Dong family in order to obtain the secret recipe for fried tea, but the Dong family's son-in-law beat her away with a wooden stick. ”

"The Xue family?"

King Poyang's expression changed.

Turning to stare at a wall.

On the wall was a map of Chen State, with notes posted in some places.

The palace steward followed King Poyang's line of sight and saw the words "King of Shaozhou".

"Hmph! Dong's tea house's new tea secret recipe must not be allowed to the Xue family."

King Poyang walked twice with his hands behind his back.

"Let's go ahead and send people to guard Dong's tea house day and night to strengthen the defense. We must not let anyone get the secret recipe of the new tea."

"Yes, my lord!"
