Yutai Bi

Chapter 314 Pearl 1
The three boys took turns looking at the little brother whose eyes were wrapped into small pillows, and all sighed: "Hey!"

The five-year-old child pretended to be an adult, and Cen Sanniang and Du Yansui were amused: "Why are you sighing!"

Buckwheat said bluntly: "He's another brat, I don't know if he will listen to me in the future."

Mai Mian said softly: "It's troublesome to be like a big brother."

Buckwheat doesn't understand: "What do you mean if you look like me and you're in trouble?"

Mai Mian ignored him, turned and left.Let the soba let the imagination go.

Mi Gao said to Cen Sanniang: "Mom, I didn't sigh, I was happy. Someone finally called me brother."

I don't know if Cen Sanniang's calculations were accurate or for other reasons. After giving birth to Xiaosi, she never got pregnant.Ten years passed in a flash.The three boys have grown from small bamboo shoots to Tingting Green Bamboo.Xiao Si is also ten years old.

A lot has happened in ten years.

Empress Wu became the queen of heaven, and she was listed as the second sage with Gaozong.In a blink of an eye, Emperor Gaozong died of illness, and Prince Hong ascended the throne.The news of the changing world spread far and wide to the remote Qingxi Village in Lingnan.

Such a major event only made the adults express a few sighs of emotion.If you should go to the fields, you should still go to the fields, and if you should go to the mountains to hunt, it is still the same.Life is still peaceful.

But when the sons grow up, they are not only full of curiosity about the outside world, but also full of curiosity about the girls.

A letter came from the Zou family in Chang'an.Du Yanwan hoped that Du Yansui would allow one of his sons to return to Chang'an and inherit the incense of the third house of the Du family.

Time had already diluted Du Yansui's memory of Chang'an.In addition, Cen Sanniang didn't want her son to be involved with the future Wu family court at all.Both of them were in trouble.

The clan is okay to say.Du Yanwan was not easy to deal with.She mentioned Mrs. Du and her parents.She couldn't see that the third wife of the Du family had adopted a son from the clan to inherit the incense.

It seems to be unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason.After all, Du Yansui also agreed back then.

"Just wait and see, Empress Dowager Tian will not be willing to let her son be in charge." After so many years, Cen Sanniang finally revealed the truth.Du Yansui's hesitant appearance made Du Yansui even more hesitant.

Du Yansui is very satisfied with the status quo.Looking back on my own experience back then, I really didn't want to let a son go back to recognize his ancestors, and then let the whole family get involved in the court affairs again.

Anyway, Lingnan is far away from Chang'an, so let's wait.

The two forgot about Du Yanwan's temper.

Three months later, people from Qingxi Village came.

"Young master, there is a tea house at the intersection two miles ahead!" The guy who scouted the road ahead rode a horse to the side of the carriage and reported.

Zou Zhenzhu raised the curtain and ordered: "Go to the front to take care of her, and avoid resting at noon before leaving."

Guys arrange it themselves.

She retracted into the carriage, picked up the folding fan and kept fanning: "Why is this place so hot! Riding a horse makes me dizzy, and riding a carriage makes me feel stuffy!"

The girl Yinzi, who was wearing a servant's clothes, fanned her vigorously with a big cattail fan, and comforted her, "It should be here soon."

The teahouse is ten miles away from the entrance of Qingxi Village.It was the Du family who set up a lookout here.The three boys are grown up, Du Yansui asked them to take turns to be on duty.Today it's Boss Soba's turn.

Buckwheat is wearing the clothes of Xiao Er.The sunshine in Lingnan turns the skin into a wheat color.He doesn't look like a pampered young master.Wiping the table and delivering water has also been done for a long time, the movements are proficient, and there is no flaw in pretending to be a waiter.

The person guarding the teahouse was an old guard from the original mansion.More experience than soba.At the first sight, four people dressed as clerks came, surrounded by a steward.Judging by his complexion, he knew that he often ran outside, so he gave Buckwheat a vigilant look, and greeted him: "Guests, please sit down, what tea do you want?"

The steward is Wuliang, Zou Xiongjie's former personal servant.Now that he is in charge, and accompanying the young lady to find relatives, Wu Liang knows that this matter is unusual.Looking around, there is only one boss in the teahouse, a young guy.Look at the stove and the wall for making tea.The smoky trace is heavy.I have seen the terrain before, and it is at the intersection of two roads, which is a place where a tea shop is opened.Knowing that it has been open for a long time, it will not be a black shop.

"Prepare the herbal tea. My young master will be here soon. I will borrow the expensive store to rest and avoid the afternoon sun. The waiter is ready, and the reward is too small to take you." Wuliang counted the number of people in his family, took out half a coin and put it away on the table.

Listen to his tone first, it's the young master and the money rewarder.Unexpectedly, only half a coin was paid.Buckwheat turned around to take the tea bowl, and couldn't help sniggering.

The three boys come here to work as a buddy.The main thing is to let them learn to observe words and expressions, and to treat others.By the way, understand common affairs.

Not long after, the five carriages of Zou's family and the attendants stopped outside the teahouse.

Buckwheat drank loudly and swiftly set up tea bowls on several square tables, picked up the big teapot, and poured the herbal herbal tea brewed in summer into the tea bowls.He counted secretly, silent again in his heart.shocked.A bowl of herbal tea costs 40 Wen, and [-] people come, and each of them has two bowls, which is [-] Wen.The extra one hundred wen just happened to be that someone was thirsty and drank a bowl or two more. If there is a reward, it could be worth a dozen or twenty wen.This steward is really good!

Buckwheat helped the boss greet the guests, move the stools and install the table, and glanced at the steward unconsciously.He was seen coming in with a man dressed as a young master in a light silk gown.

Before the young master sat down, a waiter took away the tea bowl from the table.The boy shook off a piece of green cloth and put it on the chair, and then shook off another piece of cloth and put it on the table.Then he took out a tea bowl from the bamboo basket in his hand and put it on the table.Bring out a few more plates of snacks.Pull out the pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder.

There is no embroidery on the blue cloth, it is just a piece of ordinary cloth.The tea bowl is also just ordinary white porcelain.The chopsticks are ordinary bamboo chopsticks.But the chopsticks cover is blue satin with a white magnolia embroidered on it.

Simple and clean, but also revealing a sense of extraordinary.

While serving herbal tea on buckwheat noodles, I deliberately gave that young master a bad look.Wide forehead detail, oval face, a bit delicate.But the skin is the best.

She was resting one hand on the table.When Soba poured tea, he glanced at his hands.My own is black charcoal, others call it white jade.The contrast between black and white is too sharp, and I can't help being a little dazed.So much so that the tea was too full, and when he put away the teapot, the tea was still at the mouth of the cup.

"Hey! How did you pour the tea? How do you call my young master to hold the cup?" Yinzi was angry.

There is a saying that tea is full of bullies.When pouring tea, it should not be too full.The tea is poured too full, and the tea will shake out as long as the guest lifts the bowl.

Buckwheat subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll give you another bowl."

He picked up the tea bowl with one hand, but didn't spill half of the tea, and poured it into the open space next to him.Putting it back in front of Zou Zhenzhu, poured another half a bowl of tea without leaking.

General magnanimous guests are fine.Buckwheat is waiting to hear this.

Zou Zhenzhu glanced at Wuliang, the steward, and asked, "How much tea money did you give?"

"Five hundred words."

Zou Zhenzhu snorted, and said to Buckwheat: "Go down."

Soba didn't understand what it meant to ask herself to ask for tea money before retiring.He poured water into the pot to make tea, and suddenly figured it out.The young master was trying to figure out whether he needed more money for the cup of tea he threw away.He thought contemptuously, five cents for a bowl of tea, my lord treats you to a drink!How petty.

"Xiaoer!" The servant called him again.

Buckwheat groaned, and went over with the teapot.

"How far is Qingxi Village?"

Qiaomian raised her eyebrows: "It's not far, there are still twenty or thirty miles to go. Nuo, go along that road and bypass the mountain pass ahead, it's not far."

There are two roads at the door.One is the short-cut and the other is the long-distance.

Those who have problems refer to a long way.Someone from afar interrogated him.If you have bad intentions, you will never be able to enter the village.There are several forks in the short road. If you are not one of your own people, you will look at the mountains and run dead horses, and you can't find the village entrance.

Here comes NO.40 strong man.All with knives.Buckwheat pointed away without even thinking about it.He asked casually: "I heard the accent of the guest is from other places, right?"

Zou Zhenzhu didn't deny it: "We came from Chang'an. I heard that Qingxi Village has good tea, so I want to sell some back."

Coax the ghosts to go!Qingxi Village grows rice, wheat, vegetables and fruits, but not tea.Every household grows a few tea trees sporadically for their own drinking.Soba is more vigilant.

There are pigeons in the back shed.He replied and let him go out.

Shoushankou's second wheat noodles today.That kid is a thief, he will definitely take the advice of this young master with thin skin and tender meat.

After the end of time, the steward yelled, and everyone surrounded Zou Zhenzhu and boarded the carriage, left the teahouse and stepped onto the spacious driveway.

Lifting the curtain of the car and watching the teahouse being left behind.Then Pearl frowned and told the girl Yinzi: "Tell Wu Ershu to come to my car."

Yinzi sighed, and went to call Wuliang who was sitting in the car behind.

Wuliang got into the carriage.Zou Zhenzhu said: "Uncle Wu, you have been with Dad for so many years, and you haven't noticed that there is something wrong with the guy in the teahouse?"

Wuliang was also a little puzzled: "The little one looked at the teahouse. It has indeed been open for many years, and it doesn't look like it's newly built. It should be this one. The uncle wrote in the letter that he used tea as a code word. Although the guy said it was for us Pointing. But he and the boss don't seem to understand it."

Zou Zhenzhu said: "That guy didn't leak any water when copying the tea bowls, as if he has martial arts skills. Be careful."

Wu Liang nodded: "I'll give you an order, my little one. Do you want to change into your clothes and ride a horse?"

"it is good."

After walking for half an hour, the carriage turned into a mountain depression.

Standing beside the road is an old banyan tree, the trunk of which is embraced by several people, and its roots are like a forest.The sun is completely blocked out, and a large area of ​​shade is covered.

I saw the convoy approaching from a distance.Mai Mian stood up carefully from the bluestone, and carefully shook the thin cocoon silk gown on his body, making sure that there were no wrinkles from sitting on it.Only then did he free the horse tied to the root of the air, jumped on the horse's back and greeted him with a smile.
