Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 410 410. Mountain

Dong's Tea House opened today, and the news about it was like a tsunami, sweeping every corner of the capital in just half a day.

Whether it's a high-ranking official's residence or a residential building in an alley.

Whether it’s a tea house, a restaurant, or a roadside vendor.

Almost everyone, regardless of age, status or status, has heard some news about Dong's tea house.

The residence of a high-ranking official.

"Master, master, I bought it...I bought the new fried tea!"

A servant, dressed in casual clothes, came happily, holding a small oiled paper bag in his hand, and holding it with his hand underneath, for fear that the rope of the small oiled paper bag would break...

"Bring it quickly, sir, let me smell it and see!"

The old man was wearing his home clothes and was fishing in his pond. He quickly threw away the fishing rod and grabbed the small oil paper bag.

The words "Dong's Tea House", "Newly Made Fried Tea", "High Quality", etc. are particularly conspicuous on the small oil paper bag.

"Okay! It is indeed the brand name of Dong's Tea House!"

The old man couldn't help being happy, but in an instant, the smile on his face disappeared, he weighed the small oil paper bag, and his two sparse eyebrows also condensed.

"Hey, Master, slow down..."

The boy hurriedly bowed and held the palms of his hands open, to prevent the small oil paper bag from falling.

There was a smile on his face, and before he realized it, his master was already a little dissatisfied.

"Why is it so small? Master, I think it's only about one tael. If I drink it alone, Master, I'm afraid I can only drink it for a few days..."

The old man continued to weigh the small oil paper bag with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Oh, my master, just one tael of newly prepared fried tea, the little one still fought for his life and even tore his clothes..."

The boy turned sideways and showed the old man the holes in his clothes at his waist.

"...I even tore my clothes and went through a lot of effort just to buy a couple of new teas! Master, you don't know, many people queued up early in the morning, but they didn't even get a little bit of new tea. Buy it! If you can buy one or two of the small ones, it’s already pretty good..."

The more the boy talked, the more excited he became. He was both complaining and asking for credit.

"That's it!"

The old man paused, immediately stopped weighing the small oil-paper bag, held it with both hands, sat down, and put it on the table, carefully.

"In the past, people were sent to Jiangzhou to buy new roasted tea. Although it took a lot of trouble, they could still buy a lot. But why, even though the tea house has opened to the capital, they can only buy so little. Why is this?"

As the master asked, he unwrapped the small oil-paper bag, moved his head closer, took a deep breath, and his face was full of intoxication.

He waved his hand again and ordered another servant to get the tea can.

"Sir, you don't know something. The Dong's Tea House claims that it is not easy to refine new tea. Moreover, it is a long journey. It has to be transported from Jiangzhou to the capital, and there are many inconveniences along the way..."

"So the owner of Dong's Tea House decided to limit the amount per person per day and not buy more. He said it was to... let more people enjoy the beauty of the new tea."

The boy bowed and smiled, he was still very proud.Because so many people went there, he was among the small group who bought new tea...

What an honor!
"Bullshit!"

The master took the tea can, cursed loudly, and slammed the tea can on the table with a "bang" sound.

This sound, as well as the master's scolding, frightened the smile on the boy's face to disappear.

"Then what kind of business is Dong's Tea House doing? Since this new tea is expensive, all you need to do is sell it to high-ranking officials and dignitaries like me. You can also spend a few more silver coins..."

"Let's do this. You take my warrant and go to the Ministry of Revenue..."

"Master, no, absolutely no!"

"Well, why not?"

"Master, have you forgotten who is standing behind Dong's Tea House?"

"Hiss... Uncle Jiang Cheng!"

"Yes, it's Jiang Chengbo! That's the disaster star!"

"Then forget it, forget it, let's leave this matter behind! How come such a good tea comes from the hand of the disaster star... God is so unfair!"

The old man sighed and took it upon himself to pour the one or two pieces of new tea into the tea can. He was very careful. Even if a little bit fell out, he would pick it up and put it back into the tea can.

"Sir, Dong's Tea House also released a new set of tea sets today. It is very strange. There are only ten sets in total."

"Oh, what tea set?"

"Sir, that new tea set is called a purple clay teapot!"

……

The residence of the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister Li Zhong also heard about this.

"Purple clay teapot? Or is it made of some kind of 'purple jade'? It takes several craftsmen and several years to build one set? Then Dong's Tea House only has ten sets for shooting... shooting... shooting for what?"

"Master Prime Minister, auction."

"Well, auction? Haha..."

Li Zhong, the Prime Minister of the State, put down a document and twirled his beard. His serious face, which had always been stern, as if everyone owed him a few hundred taels, couldn't help but smile at this moment.

"Master Xiang, why are you laughing?"

"Haha... these are just gimmicks that Uncle Jiang Cheng came up with. Humph, this man is very popular with the witch, but he has devoted himself to business affairs..."

"That's good, that's good!"

Prime Minister Li Zhongfu picked up the document again and began to read it.

"Master Prime Minister, there are only ten sets of purple clay teapots. Should we... also take a set of them and bring them back?"

"No need, the purple clay pot is a gimmick and a trick, don't worry about it!"

"Yes, Lord Prime Minister."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

The servant came to the study of Prime Minister Li Zhong again.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, there is something unusual at Dong's Tea House..."

"Hmm...what's abnormal?"

Li Zhong, the Prime Minister of the State, was quite calm, holding a book in one hand and reading without raising his head.

"Prime Minister, there are two anomalies. First, the Dong's Tea House limits the purchase of the newly made fried tea to one or two per person per day. This afternoon, the tea house's clerk actually said that today's supply has been sold out. , No more. If you need it, you need to queue up early tomorrow morning..."

"Ah."

Prime Minister Li Zhong nodded slightly and was unmoved.

If he hadn't paid attention to the activities of Jiangcheng Bo Zhu Xiuyuan, as the prime minister of a country and in charge of hundreds of officials, he would not have sent people to inquire about the situation of the tea house.

"Secondly, the new purple clay teapot from Dong's Tea House is indeed not simple!"

"Oh, how is it not easy?"

Prime Minister Li Zhong still held the scroll in one hand, but his eyes were no longer on the scroll, but on the servant.

"Master Xiang, I personally went to the tea house and tried the purple clay teapot myself. As expected...it is comparable to beautiful jade! It is really a rare masterpiece!"

"Oh?"

Prime Minister Li Zhong was confused again and frowned, but his posture did not change.

"Prime Minister, I saw many servants from the palace of high-ranking officials in the teahouse. Although they were dressed in casual clothes, I could tell them apart. They were all heading for the purple clay teapot."

"Because the Dong's Tea House is going to use some kind of auction to sell those ten sets of purple clay teapots. Anyone who participates in the auction needs to sign up first. Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, I stayed at the tea house for a long time and met most of the senior officials. All the servants in the mansion have signed up!"

"According to you, that purple clay pot is indeed a great treasure?"

Prime Minister Li Zhong put down the book and stared at the servant.

"The Prime Minister is right. I have followed the Prime Minister for many years and I have seen a lot of antique jades. That purple clay pot is indeed very special. It is like a beautiful jade and is of great value for appreciation and collection!"

"And Prime Minister, there are only ten sets of purple clay teapots, and most of the senior officials have sent people to sign up. The Prime Minister's Office of our country..."

The servant asked tentatively.

"Well, that's fine. We'll sign up too. Go to the auction in person tomorrow. Make sure you get a good one. Bring it back and have a look at it."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

……

The newly made fried tea and purple clay pots have swept the entire capital with great excitement.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan, as the instigator, saw that the tea house was on the right track and there was no need for him to stay here, so he returned to the house.

Dong Shuyu stayed at the tea house to plan and deal with the auction in the future.

Dong Shuzhen did not follow him back home, but stayed in the tea house and stayed with her sister.

Zhu Xiuyuan returned to his house alone. The house was a little deserted. Not to mention the Dong sisters, even his father-in-law Dong Cheng had left early and returned late these days.

Dong Cheng has been mainly busy these days with the reconstruction of the county government in Jiangning County.

A fire a few days ago razed the entire Jiangning County government office to the ground and turned it into ruins. It can no longer be used.

Needs to be rebuilt.Zhu Xiuyuan went back to the mansion and walked around, cleaned up again, took Yan Dashan and several Jinwu guards, and rushed out of the city to the camp of the Shenlei Army to inspect the situation.

Although the construction of the Shen Lei Army Camp was still supervised by the Camp Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works did not dare to be careless in this project.

That week, all the food and lodging were in the big camp, and he was in charge of supervising the work. He will not release the water this time, and strictly abide by Zhu Xiuyuan's requirements, and build the big camp like iron...

With Zhou Dong, after inspecting the Shenlei Army camp under construction, they went to the Shenlei Square next to the camp for a stroll.

This Shenleifang was built entirely on the scale of a small city.

There are residential areas and street shops inside... The craftsmen of Shenleifang, as well as the soldiers stationed at Shenleifang, can live a good life without leaving Shenleifang even half a step.

The Shenlei Workshop has begun to operate, and according to the process flow formulated by Zhu Xiuyuan, new weapons have begun to be mass-produced.

Firecrackers, thunderbolts, thunderbolts, etc. have the highest technical content and are also new weapons that are built in batches.

……

After walking around for a long time, Zhu Xiuyuan felt a little tired, so he came to the small courtyard in Shenleifang and rested here for a while.

This small courtyard is fully equipped with bedrooms, wing rooms, living rooms, and study rooms... If necessary, Zhu Xiuyuan can live here for a long time.

"what!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan walked through the corridor in front of the study, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance in his nose.

He paused, raised his head, and glanced at the study door.

He is very familiar with this sweet smell!

"Emperor?"

Yan Dashan was behind, and suddenly saw his benefactor stopping, and couldn't help but curiously asked.

"It's okay, Dashan, I want to go in and read a book for a while, you can go to the living room to rest by yourself."

"Yes, benefactor!"

Yan Dashan did not doubt that he was there and immediately walked to the living room.

Squeak!

Zhu Xiuyuan pushed open the door of the study, walked in, and closed the door.

"Miss Kou, come out!"

Zhu Xiuyuan walked into the study slowly, looked around, but Kou Wanwan was nowhere to be seen, but he knew that Kou Wanwan must be here.

"Sir, you are finally here. The slave family has been waiting for a long time."

Kou Wanwan walked out from behind a bookshelf.

Wearing her iconic red dress, she looked stunning.

Kou Wanwan seemed to be very happy. She danced, twirled her body, and when her long sleeves danced, they bloomed like a red flower, making people unable to look at her.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood still, like a wooden stake, looking at her calmly.

"Sir, do you dance well?"

Kou Wanwan suddenly stepped forward and waved her long sleeves, letting the bright red long sleeves dance and brush against Zhu Xiuyuan's face.

Like a gauze falling to the ground, the touch is very wonderful, and a sweet fragrance hits the nose, which is intoxicating.

"Okay, okay, the girl has danced enough on the stage in front of the tea house today, isn't she tired?"

Zhu Xiuyuan grabbed the tulle at the bottom of Kou Wanwan's long sleeve, lifted it outwards, away from his face, and said to Kou Wanwan with a serious face.

"Master, are you still angry?"

Kou Wanwan stopped dancing and stood opposite him handsomely. The distance between them was only three inches.

The tips of their noses almost hit each other.

Being so close always makes people feel dazzled.

Because this Kou Wanwan is really a seductive fairy. She always has a smile on her face, as if she has some kind of magic power, which makes people's hearts beat wildly.

"I'm not angry. I just hope that the girl will stop making her own decisions..."

Zhu Xiuyuan took a step back and put some distance between them.

"At least, the girl should discuss it with me!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a step back, and Kou Wanwan immediately took a step forward.

She has extremely high skills, but Zhu Xiuyuan is a rookie and cannot avoid her tracking.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan's "eyes are full of Kou Wanwan."

"Okay, okay, I will remember this. From now on, if anything happens, I will come to see you and discuss it with you!"

When Kou Wanwan said the word "discuss", she deliberately emphasized it and winked wildly, her big eyes blinking with a proud look on her face.

Zhu Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Just now... Kou Wanwan took advantage of her.

He said, "Young lady should also discuss with me." There is a problem with this sentence, discuss, how to discuss?

In ancient times, there were no telephones, so of course it was a face-to-face discussion.

Kou Wanwan took advantage of every opportunity, which was equivalent to giving her a reason to come to Zhu Xiuyuan whenever she had nothing to do!
Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and lowered his head slightly...

However, after lowering his head and taking an unintentional glance, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately looked up.

He couldn't stand the rough waves.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't avoid Kou Wanwan, so he simply came to sit down in front of the desk, picked up a book, and started reading.

Boom!
The bookcase shook slightly and made a soft sound.

Zhu Xiuyuan moved the book in front of him, and he saw that Kou Wanwan's face had appeared in front of him. It was horizontal, extremely delicate, and as gorgeous as a peach or plum.

Like a peach, it makes people want to hold it and take a bite.

It turned out that Kou Wanwan was lying on the desk, like a mountain of beauty, with uneven heights, her head propped up on one hand, and she kept laughing...

"Young master, what's so good about the book? Look at me, although there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a 'Yan Ruyu' right in front of you. Why do you want to stay far away from the near side?"

Kou Wanwan blinked.

This Kou Wanwan is really...

It was so bright and moving that Zhu Xiuyuan's throat couldn't help but move.

"Young Master, this slave is just a piece of sweet candy, waiting for you to come and eat it!"

Kou Wanwan obviously saw Zhu Xiuyuan swallowing his saliva secretly, and couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Miss Kou, can you stop talking?"

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly raised the book and blocked it between the two people's sight. His old face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.

"Young master obviously likes the slave family very much, right?"

Kou Wanwan imitated Dong Shuzhen's tone, which was delicate and coquettish.

Zhu Xiuyuan had not yet made any expression, but suddenly he heard Kou Wan's sweet voice say: "Husband..."

The book that separated the two people's sight shook for a while, and Zhu Xiuyuan himself almost fell down.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan did not see her appearance, he could still imagine how her small cherry mouth, with two red lips like peach blossoms, opened and closed when Kou Wanwan said the word "husband". of……

Moreover, the teeth are fine and as white as a rhinoceros, with abundant "juice", like a bite of a peach.

"Miss, please stop talking nonsense. You and I have not worshiped each other. You cannot call me your husband...Miss Kou, please remember your identity and do not do such frivolous things, lest you tarnish your father's reputation!"

Zhu Xiuyuan said seriously.

"Then... the slave family, why not call the young master... a son-in-law?"

"Girl, you...you...you are talking nonsense again..."

"Hahaha……"

Kou Wanwan laughed, and the "Beauty Mountain" shook for a while, and the flower branches trembled, making people dizzy.

"Girl, it's getting late, and I need to go back to the city, girl, please do what you want."

Zhu Xiuyuan really couldn't stand it. This goblin made his heart feel like grass, but he didn't want anything to happen to her.

This makes people uncomfortable.

This place can't stay any longer.

"Sir, why don't you stay and play for a while..."

"Miss Kou, goodbye!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately dropped the book and rushed out of the door, ignoring Kou Wanwan who was still lying on the bed.

When he rushed out of the study door, he seemed to hear Kou Wanwan's coquettish laughter...

Zhu Xiuyuan ignored her and called Yan Dashan directly, left Shenleifang and rode back to the city.
