The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 44 Is she playing tricks on him?

The Xue family has a teahouse, and the Duke of Zhao also has a teahouse.

The former's net worth is far less than that of the latter, and the amount of tea he can produce naturally varies.

But Xue Qingyin invited them to have tea at the Xue family teahouse, and Manager Zhao didn't show any contempt at all, and happily took Zhao Xufeng with him.

The steward of the silk and satin shop was a little anxious: "What about the silk and satin shop..."

Xue Qingyin and He Songning have completely different styles of acting.

If it were He Songning at this moment, he would have downplayed the idea of ​​killing the person who set the fire.

Xue Qingyin... really left them confused.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. Can't we just wait for Jingzhao Mansion to find out the results?" Xue Qingyin said without looking back.

She does not have as strong a desire to control as He Songning. If others can do things for her, she will not burden herself.

"Yes, I have already told you about this, so why worry about it anymore?" Manager Zhao also followed.

These stewards of the Xue family are actually a little bit behind the times, and they are not calm enough when things happen. Mr. Zhao thought to himself.

In fact, with a master like He Songning who is tyrannical and suspicious by nature, it is not uncommon for the people below him to be weak and have no independent opinions.

Xue Qingyin didn't care much. She felt that everything had both good and bad sides.

She left everyone in the satin shop and went to the tea house.

The Xue family's teahouse is located not far away, which is very convenient.

And fortunately, nothing happened at the tea house today.

Otherwise, if she provokes another enemy, she will be exhausted to death?

"Big girl?" The steward of the tea house was very surprised to see Xue Qingyin and did not dare to recognize her for a while.

Xue Qingyin has not been here before, and she did not have a steward with her today. It was her servant who took the initiative to identify himself.

"This is the Young Master of Duke Zhao's Mansion, and this is General Manager Zhao." Xue Qingyin followed and explained.

The manager of the tea house originally thought that the owner came without saying hello and wanted to question the tea house.

At this glance, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

If I remember correctly... the several shops in Duke Zhao's mansion are not that big of a deal with us, right?

That is to say, they did not dare to offend the Duke of Zhao, so they always retreated.

I heard that not long ago, even the silk and satin shop was smashed, and for a while it became the laughing stock of the Thirty-sixth Industry in the capital.

As a result, those of them, who are also part of the Xue family's property, have to keep their heads down.

Various thoughts flashed through the tea house steward's mind, and when the tea was served, he looked extremely respectful in front of Manager Zhao and Zhao Xufeng.

Manager Zhao frowned and said, "Miss Xue please go first."

The manager of the tea house suddenly realized that this flattery was on the horse's leg.

He quickly turned around and put tea in front of Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin didn't care. She turned around and pushed in the direction of Manager Zhao: "I don't like this."

Manager Zhao did not refuse, and just asked: "What kind of tea does Miss Xue like to drink? Yangxian or Shouzhou Huangya?"

Manager Zhao secretly thought that if Miss Xue likes it, he can pick some for her from his own teahouse next time.

Xue Qingyin shook her head and said, "As long as it doesn't add salt flowers, ginger, pepper, cinnamon and other things, I think it tastes good."

How can this thing be called tea now? It's almost enough to order porridge.

But nowadays, tea is mostly eaten this way.

Xue Fushang is quite conservative in making tea, but he likes to add orange peels to it, which can regulate qi and whet the appetite.

Boil a pot and it becomes Xue Qingyin's special tea.

What is served at the tea house seems to be that you can't wait to add all the seasonings to show off your skills.

Just outrageous. Xue Qingyin thought.

"Miss Xue is not afraid of the bitterness of tea?" Manager Zhao said in surprise.

Xue Qingyin whispered: "How can it be bitter? The aftertaste is sweet, and the fragrance of tea lingers in your nose. If you eat something fishy and fishy, ​​wouldn't it be just right to have a cup of tea without adding anything else?"

Manager Zhao nodded and smiled: "What Miss Xue said is quite reasonable. It is rare in the world to have such fantastic ideas and refuse to follow the world..."

Manager Zhao praised her so much that Xue Qingyin even blushed.

Is it possible that your way of drinking tea is heresy?

After all, everyone in later generations drank tea without adding any condiments! What are her whims and whims?

Manager Zhao followed Xue Qingyin's instructions and tried eating some sweet snacks first, and then drinking tea without adding anything.

"It really has a unique flavor!" he praised.

Even Zhao Xufeng on the side imitated the example, picked up the cup, took a sip, and spit it all out again.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help laughing and asked the steward to bring more snacks for Zhao Xufeng.

When Zhao Xufeng eats one piece, he always leaves one piece for her.

Zhao Xufeng was a good eater, and by the time he finished eating, the snacks in front of Xue Qingyin were almost piled up into a small mountain.

The manager of the tea house couldn't help but have the ridiculous idea that Zhao Guogong's mansion was going to eat us alive.

Fortunately, Xue Qingyin put down the tea cup at this time and said, "Have you ever been to the outskirts of the city?"

Manager Zhao sighed: "It's not easy to get out of the house."

"I'm going to the village on the outskirts of the city soon, will my young master go with me?"

Manager Zhao's eyes lit up, and he was eager to do so.

But I'm just afraid that it will be too much trouble for Miss Xue.

But the opportunity is really rare... Manager Zhao thought for a moment, and then said with certainty: "Go!"

When they walked out of the tea house, General Manager Zhao stopped the steward and asked, "How is the business of your tea house doing recently?"

The steward didn't dare to answer.

I thought this was my opponent!

"Just answer the question." Xue Qingyin interrupted.

The steward then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "This year, there are many days of dry weather in various places, which naturally affects the tea harvest. This business... naturally, it is far inferior to the silk and satin shop."

The steward smiled awkwardly.

Manager Zhao didn't say anything more, just showed a thoughtful expression.

Miss Xue treated them so well, so they naturally wanted to repay her.

Xue Qingyin didn't know what Manager Zhao was thinking. She strode out and saw that the young man named Kong Qun from before was still outside.

He was wiping his head with a handkerchief in his hand.

After such a long time, his face became swollen even more, and the corners of his eyes were pulled out, giving him a somewhat sinister look.

However, after he noticed that Xue Qingyin was looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"What are you doing here, Du Chu? Go back and receive your punishment." Manager Zhao came out and saw him, and his face immediately darkened.

Kong Qun then responded and took the people away.

An hour later.

Xue Qingyin came to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.

It's just that the surrounding atmosphere is very different...

Xue Qingyin's maid couldn't help but trembled: "Why doesn't anyone come out to greet you?"

Xue Qingyin was also puzzled.

Could it be that something happened again?

At this moment, several powerful men wearing armor and holding spears came into their sight.

Manager Zhao was shuddered: "Xuanwu Army?!"

He grabbed Zhao Xufeng with a serious look on his face.

However, Xue Qingyin suddenly realized it and went up to him directly, asking: "Where is your General Du?"

Manager Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Miss Xue was really brave and not afraid of anything.

The Xuanwu Army on that side stopped and looked at each other: "You are..."

"Is she the Xue family girl?"

Xue Qingyin nodded.

Manager Zhao watched helplessly. After a while, the door opened and a young general walked out quickly and spoke to Xue Qingyin warmly.

He couldn't hear clearly.

But he was shocked in his heart.

How come Miss Xue can play so well with everyone?

This is actually a kind of... wonderful talent!

This time Du Hongxue told Xue Qingyin what was going on.

"It turns out that His Highness Prince Xuan ordered the takeover." Xue Qingyin whispered.

Du Hongxue smiled and nodded: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has stayed here for two nights."

But the host whom I promised to entertain was not there.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but touch her nose with guilt.

Du Hongxue's voice suddenly changed: "His Royal Highness is inside, and someone has already gone to report it."

Xue Qingyin: "Ah?"

Okay.

I became a guest.

Xue Qingyin walked in front of Du Hongxue and walked through the door without any fear.

Halfway through, she didn't forget to turn around and greet Manager Zhao.

General Manager Zhao led Zhao Xufeng through the door in a daze. When he saw King Xuan in the flower hall, he straightened his body unconsciously and felt the slightest chill in his old bones.

But right now...it's too late to leave.

"Greetings to His Highness King Xuan." Everyone saluted the people sitting on their seats.

Today, King Xuan is wearing a white robe and a jade belt around his waist. Sitting there, he suddenly feels calm and noble.

Just turning his eyes for a moment, he caught a glimpse of a dark sleeve armor fastened on his left forearm.

The sleeve armor has a cold and hard shape, with sharp lines, and a murderous aura rushes towards the face.

That combination of white and black.

The calm nobility contrasts with the coldness and solemnity.

I don't know why... Xue Qingyin tilted her head, and there was an indescribable taste of abstinence in her heart.

Xue Qingyin looked at King Xuan.

King Xuan was also looking at her.

The atmosphere was cold and stagnant for a while, and no one spoke.

King Xuan moved his lips and said in a cold tone: "The Zhuangzi of the Xue family..." That's right.

The last two words of "King Xuan" haven't been spoken yet.

Xue Qingyin quickly said: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, can you lend me a horse cao from the army and teach us how to raise horses?"

Isn’t it useless to have sex at this time? When do you have sex for free?

Xue Qingyin thought.

Xue Mansion.

It was already a little late when He Songning knew something happened at the Silk Village.

The servant said: "The eldest girl went with the steward."

"What kind of things can she handle?" He Songning spoke and pursed his lower lip again.

Then he stood up and said: "Go to the silk and satin shop."

Unexpectedly, when I went to the satin shop, the steward said that the eldest girl had gone to the tea house.

He Songning went to the tea house again.

When we arrived at the teahouse, the steward of the teahouse said respectfully, "The eldest lady said she was going to the village on the outskirts of the city."

He Songning: "..."

Sure enough, I have grown up, my temper has grown, and my brain has grown!

Was she playing a trick on him on purpose?
