The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The seats in the hall on the first floor and the invitations made according to the number of seats have been sent out.

The private rooms on the second floor are also full.

Everything is strictly controlled according to the number.

In order to avoid any problems, they are all nobles, even Li Fu, the King of Jingyang, will not rush to offend people.

At this time, there was no one on the auction table, but the whole table was covered with a red carpet, and a beautiful solid wood table was placed on it, and the table was covered with a red tablecloth. The whole table looked particularly festive but not without solemnity.

As time went by, the guests from outside the door also came in sporadically, and their clothes were not so gorgeous. After coming in, they all sat in the hall on the first floor. The shop assistants looked at the seat numbers written on the invitations in their hands and led them inside.

Li Fu was on the third floor. Although the shop assistants could not frequently travel between the first and second floors, they could watch the situation below at the stairs and report the news below to the room at any time.

In this way, it will not attract too much attention. Even if you stand at the stairs and don't go down, even the people on the second floor will not notice the movement upstairs.

Everyone's attention is on the stage in the hall on the first floor.

At that time, Zhang Deyuan will personally support this occasion as the owner of the tea shop.

In other words, the auctioneer of today's auction is Zhang Deyuan.

Everyone is here, and Zhang Deyuan stepped onto the stage on time.

He first bowed to everyone present.

"Dear distinguished guests, welcome to gather in this teahouse on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to participate in the auction of premium tea, to experience the fragrance of tea and the excitement of the New Year's Day.

This auction is jointly organized by Chang'an East Market Tea House and Huizhou Tea House. Here, we would like to thank His Majesty the Current Emperor.

If His Majesty the Current Emperor had not approved it, there would not be ten sets of premium tea gift boxes as auction items today, which would gather all the distinguished guests in this teahouse.

Thank you for your great grace!"

After saying this, Zhang Deyuan bowed from a distance in the direction of the palace.

Of course, coincidentally, the private room on the third floor where Li Shimin was located was also in that direction.

Then, Zhang Deyuan spoke again.

"Dear guests, as we all know, the best quality tea on the market today is the first-grade tea in the tea shop. Special tea has never appeared on the market. The price of these ten gift boxes of special tea is inestimable. It is precisely because of this that today's event is held in order to prevent you from missing this opportunity.

Of course, before the official start, you can't spend money just because of a few words from me."

Zhang Deyuan smiled and said to the waiter behind him.

"Serve tea to all the guests!"

After that, a row of waiters behind him held trays with small tea bowls on them. Each tea bowl had three or two leaves of special tea, and there were fifteen cups on a tray.

The waiters carried trays, some went upstairs, and some shuttled among the many guests on the first floor, placing the tea bowls in front of them.

"Dear guests, the tea in this tea bowl is the tea made from the special tea to be auctioned today. Please taste it."

When hearing this, there were bursts of surprise in the hall.

The precious tea leaves, the tea made from them, were tasted directly, and there were three or two tea leaves at the bottom of the bowl, which also made people clearly see the difference between special tea and first-class tea.

Those who were invited were all tea lovers, and they had tasted first-class tea many times.

They had enough money in their pockets, and even if they bought two taels of first-class tea a month, it was enough to drink.

The people who got the tea began to taste the tea carefully.

The tea leaves in the bowl were like needles, with a dark green color and bright yellow tea soup.

The fragrance was high and far, the taste was mellow and sweet, and the aftertaste was long and lasting...

Good tea!

The people in the private room on the second floor also received the hot tea sent by the waiter and tasted it carefully.

As for the third floor, in the two rooms, the teapots on their tables were filled with special tea.

Li Yuan was used to it, and those first-grade teas were not to his taste.

As for Li Shimin, he started drinking tea and chatting with Fang Xuanling after he entered the door and sat down.

The auction had not officially started, and he didn't care about anything else.

But there was only one thing! It made him feel a little unhappy!

This teahouse was actually also the property of the Jingyang King's house!

The owner behind it was still Li Fu!

He didn't know this at first!

Even last time he came, he honestly signed a note!

The last time he came here, he drank tea upstairs with the ministers around him, that tea is not cheap.

I was really taken advantage of!

Now thinking about it, I am really angry!

This place also belongs to Li Fu. If he had known that it was a business of Jingyang Wang's residence, he would not have paid!

"This Li Fu, I said that ordinary people would not be so generous as to open such a teahouse next to the tea shop." Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed.

"If it weren't for the tea shop and the teahouse working together to hold such a grand event, how would we know that these two are actually one." Changsun Wuji laughed.

He was a little jealous of Li Fu in his heart.

Jealous of his brain, how is it.

How can he make money in everything he does.

Think about his own industry and the stupid people who are in charge of the industry!

Compared with the people in Jingyang Wang's residence, they are simply stupid!

Apart from jealousy, Changsun Wuji also admires Li Fu.

I admire the long-term vision of King Jingyang, who tied the tea business to the palace in advance.

In this way, such a big business has the emperor and His Majesty standing behind it, which means that there is a backer, and the interests are consistent with the palace.

If anyone wants to touch King Jingyang's business, the palace will not sit idly by.

The inner court finally tasted the taste of being rich, how can this good life be disturbed by others?

In Changsun Wuji's view, this is a good thing.

Who is in charge of the inner court now? It's his own sister!

If the money falls into the inner court, it falls into the hands of his own sister!

How can this not be a good thing?

In the second-floor box, after tasting the special tea, the people from each family all brightened their eyes.

What they usually drink is the best first-class tea available on the market.

But now that they have drunk the special tea, they find that there is a real difference between this first-class tea and the bowl of tea in their hands.

So, the Emperor and His Majesty in the palace drink so much good tea?

They don’t need anything, so why can’t they get such good tea?

I’ll buy a box today to test the waters. In the future, I’ll have to think of ways to get more special tea…
