Mingmen Family

Chapter 187

Although the aroma of Longjing tea is not as overbearing as sweet-scented osmanthus tea, a table full of tea is full of fragrance, but the aroma is unique, the taste is sweet, and the taste is much higher than that of sweet-scented osmanthus tea. People who drink it are full of praise.Veteran tea drinkers who understand tea really appreciate the taste of this tea.

The master, who is not short of money and drinks everything the same, praises this tea without a word.

After all, where are the gimmicks of the emperor, prince, and princess, as well as the expensive prices? If you say it's not delicious or worth it, doesn't that reveal your shallow nature?Isn't their tongue more precious than the emperor?

So the scene when sweet-scented osmanthus tea was on the market reappeared again. Those who could afford the money and liked the tea would buy one or two taels back and invite friends to taste it.There are even rich people who buy them as gifts by a few catties.

Therefore, although the price of Longjing tea is high, it still cannot stop its sales.Both Beijing and Lin'an are in short supply.

……

In the capital, Meng's house, there was a sound of "ping pong pong pong" in the hall.

The servant girl who was delivering refreshments to the hall stopped immediately, walked over to the boy standing on the porch, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, young master?"

Since the Eldest Young Master came back from exile at the border half a month ago, his temper has become more and more irritable, and his eyes are all gloomy and frightening.The servant girl was punched and kicked for the slightest carelessness.

Now the servants serving in Meng Chengwei's yard are all in danger.

"I heard that it's Ye Family's Jixianglou tea that sells big." The boy said.

The word "Ye family" has become a taboo for the servants of the Meng family.

Who ever wanted the wind to be the wind, the rain to the rain, the young master who was doing well in the capital, but when he arrived in Lin'an, he fell into the hands of a small businessman with no backer?
Because of this, the Meng family has become a joke in the circle.

What's more, because of the account book and the case of robbing and killing the eldest son of Xuanwuhou, the prince made a big fuss and pointed the finger at Meng Chengwei.

Meng Chengwei was originally a person who took the crime, and during the execution period, he had to make trouble and commit crimes, and the crime was aggravated. Concubine Min paid a high price to save Meng Chengwei's life, but Meng Chengwei suffered a lot for this.

Although he is back now, he is limping on one foot, and there is still a small scar on his face that cannot be removed.

As a result, his temperament changed drastically, and his temper became more moody.And it's been almost a month since I came back, and I shut myself in the yard, seeing no one except my parents.A word or a look inadvertently by the servant girl can provoke him into a rage and bring about disaster without reason.

Hearing the word "Yejia", the servant girl hesitated.

She knew that if she went in to deliver refreshments at this time, she would definitely be angered by the young master, and her life and death would be unpredictable.

But it won't work if you don't send it.

She decided to stay here for a while.

Seeing no one around, she asked: "Isn't the Ye family an ordinary merchant in Lin'an? There is no backstage or background, and the young master has come out. Isn't killing them as simple as killing an ant?"

"Being able to deliver tea leaves to the emperor, and he was praised by the emperor, is this an ordinary merchant? The emperor just praised the Ye family's tea, and wanted to use the Ye family's Longjing tea as a tribute tea. Later, the Ye family suffered a lot. Young master If you move the Ye family at this time, isn’t that courting death? Yuwei really wants to investigate, what can’t be found?”

The servant girl listened and nodded: "That's right."

She sighed: "I just hope that the young master can live in peace and stability, and don't cause trouble again."

The life of the Meng family is not easy, and the first ones to suffer are these servants.

The boy shook his head: "Impossible."

Meng Chengwei was a person who had to take revenge when he was young, not to mention that he fell into such a big fight, if he didn't take revenge and go back, he wouldn't be Meng Chengwei.

The two looked at each other and sighed together.

In the room, Meng Chengwei was gnashing his teeth: "Ye family, I won't make it easy for you."

Mrs. Meng, who came in a hurry, just heard this when she got a report from her servants.

She persuaded: "Son, let's forget it. Then the Ye family will fight against you. Think about it, what did you do wrong before? But since you went to Lin'an, everything you do , the results were contrary to what you expected, and in the end you ended up like this, isn’t this a crime, what is it?”

"So, please, let's not mess with the Ye family, okay?" She said, crying.

"No." Meng Chengwei said, "How can I not report the shame and humiliation of my life? If I don't destroy the Ye family, I will never get well in my life."

Mrs. Meng thought for a while, and said: "You were backlashed when you used shady tricks; why don't we use ulterior motives this time?"

Meng Chengwei asked curiously: "What conspiracy?"

"The tea-making of the Ye family is very good, it is the second master Ye and the third girl of the second room. The third girl heard that she was divorced, and no one has found her next family. Why don't we try our best and spread the word to her? Isn't the Fifth Young Master Jiang in the British government looking for a suitable replacement?" Madam Meng lowered her voice.

Meng Chengwei narrowed his eyes.

Concubine Min's son-in-law of the third princess is the second son-in-law of the British government.Because Concubine Min admired Meng Chengwei's resourcefulness all the time, she directly raised him as her daughter's support outside the palace, so the relationship between the third princess and her cousin Meng Chengwei was quite good.

Because of this, they know more about some things in the British government than others.

This fifth son of Jiang is also a good-looking talent from the outside.He never thought that within a year of his marriage, his wife died, and she was still scarred when she died.

The wife's natal family is also prominent, and she still loves her daughter. After finding out the reason, they went to the British government to make a fuss. Only then did everyone know that Mr. Jiang Wu was inhumane, so they became suspicious and tortured his wife on the bed.

Naturally, this matter was settled after the British government lost a lot of benefits.

In desperation, the British lady-in-law had no choice but to marry her son the daughter of a county magistrate from another place.This girl has a delicate appearance, and the British lady hoped that her son would take pity on her and stop causing trouble.Furthermore, his family background is not obvious, so even if something happens, there is not much trouble.

Perhaps it was because Fifth Young Master Jiang's mental illness was getting worse, or maybe he lost the worries of Yue's family background. In less than half a year, the county magistrate's daughter disappeared.

The county magistrate was originally the son of a humble family, without roots.When I got married at the beginning, I also had the idea of ​​clinging.Now that he lost a daughter, he didn't even dare to say a word.His wife cried a few times behind his back, that's all.

But Jiang Wu's young lady is gone, and this matter can't be kept hidden for a while. During the New Year's Eve, various families held banquets and she never showed up. Many people asked, so the British princess had to say that she died of illness.

Everyone doesn't say anything in person, but who doesn't talk about the reason for this "death of illness" behind the scenes?

Therefore, it is even more difficult for the British government to marry Mr. Jiang Wu another wife.

After Meng Chengwei was imprisoned and exiled, Mrs. Meng sent someone to check Ye's house carefully, and knew that Miss Ye San was outstanding, so she gave her son such a bad idea.
