White tea legend

Chapter 235 Sword Dance
Mrs. Yao Si had been missing for a year and a half and finally came back.

Sister-in-law Zhang hugged her and cried loudly, but her brother Yao Ziyi was not very happy.

He only pulled Ms. Zhang and asked her where Mrs. Yao Si had been for such a long time, whether she had been abducted by traffickers, whether she had lost her virginity, and so on.

"If she loses her virginity, tell her not to make any noise and find someone else to marry quietly. Don't stay at home and ruin the reputation of the Yao family."

Zhang was speechless that there was such a big brother in the world.

However, knowing your husband is better than your wife. Mrs. Zhang has always known what kind of person her husband is. Even when her father-in-law was still alive, she also knew what kind of character her son was, and his father-in-law was also unhappy with him.

"It's okay. Si Niang is back in good health. What did you say about losing her virginity?"

It was impossible for Yao Ziyi to believe Zhang's words. Yao Ziyi didn't believe that a woman who had been missing for a year and a half could return home intact.

"Why do we have to force her to say yes if she doesn't have it?" Ms. Zhang felt that her husband was unreasonable.

Yao Ziyi said: "Then what else can she say when she comes back this time?"

"Yes, she said she wanted to open a tea shop in Chang'an City."

"Nonsense!"

Yao Ziyi personally talked to Mrs. Yao Si.

As the elder brother of Lady Yao Si, Yao Ziyi held an important position in the imperial court and was well aware of the political changes. He had to warn Lady Yao Si that her dream of becoming a tea merchant was doomed to be difficult to realize because the imperial court had implemented a pilot tea making system in Yazhou. Soon after, this dream came true. This policy will sweep across the country, and the living space of private tea merchants will be compressed to almost zero.

The sky is as blue as a wash, and the sun shines mottledly through the window lattice into the study.

The brother and sister sat opposite each other in front of the rosewood table.

Yao Ziyi looked at her sister, with an undeniable seriousness in her tone: "Siniang, discussing the tea system is the new policy of the imperial court. The tea business is not a child's play. The imperial court's policy is like a surging river. Going against the current will only be in vain. You are me How can the daughter of the Yao family engage in such meaningless struggles? "

Mrs. Yao Si lowered her head slightly, and gently touched the tea cup on the table with her fingers. It was a porcelain piece she carefully selected, with elegant camellia paintings on it.

Yao Siniang was not sure whether her brother was deliberately trying to scare her because he didn't want her to open a tea house and made up a fabricated lie, or whether the imperial court really promoted the tea tea system.

Yao Ziyi knew that his sister had always been eccentric, had ideas, and was smart, so she would never listen to his advice so easily, so she said: "The tea making process was a suggestion that Wang Xiangye personally made to the sage. The sage has already made Yazhou As a pilot project, the Qiancha system has been implemented, and nationwide promotion is just around the corner.”

While the brother and sister were talking, the housekeeper came to report that the Prime Minister's Mansion had handed over a notice, inviting Mr. Yao to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet tonight.

"Look, it's not good to talk behind someone's back when Cao Cao is here."

As Yao Ziyi said this, he went to change his clothes and prepare to go to the Prime Minister's house for a banquet.

On a hot summer day, there is another cool scene in Wang Xiangye's house.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the gentle breeze blew through the sycamore trees, bringing a slight coolness to the heart.

Tables of sumptuous banquets were set up in the garden of the mansion, and lanterns were hung high, illuminating the entire garden as if it were daytime. Prime Minister Wang invited several close officials from the court by name to attend this rare night banquet. At the top of the moon, fine wine and delicacies were spread all over the table, and golden bottles were filled with amber-colored fine wine. Everyone was sitting around, chatting and laughing.

Wang Xiangye's face was red and beaming with joy. He waved his hand to indicate that the banquet had officially begun.

While the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, a servant hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of the king. Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wang showed a mysterious smile and nodded. When all the officials saw this, they were all curious and looked at him inquiringly.

"Today there is a special guest who will perform a sword dance for everyone." Prime Minister Wang announced in a pretentious manner. As soon as his voice fell, he heard a crisp ringtone from outside, and then, a man in black costume The swordsman slowly stepped into everyone's sight.

The swordsman was tall and slender, with a long sword hanging from his waist. His steps were steady, his face was handsome, and his brows revealed a heroic spirit. He walked to the open space in the center of the banquet and bowed respectfully to the guests present.

"My lords, I would like to entertain you with my sword dance, Pei Min." After saying that, Pei Min unsheathed his sword and saw a cold light shooting out like a shooting star across the sky.

The music started immediately, and Pei Min held a long sword and danced to the music.

His swordsmanship is extremely proficient, and every move and every move is as if it were made in heaven, possessing both strength and grace.

The tip of the sword flickered, and the silver light flickered, as if the stars were jumping in the night sky, making people dizzy.

All the officials in the audience were dumbfounded, some couldn't help but praise the case, while others couldn't take their eyes away, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

Prime Minister Wang also clapped his hands and laughed, feeling sincerely proud that he could invite such a master.

At the climax of the sword dance, Pei Min suddenly turned over and jumped up. The long sword was like a butterfly piercing flowers, creating countless beautiful halos around him.

As his figure turned, he tapped the tip of the sword lightly, and a paper flower in the shape of a blooming lotus flew up from the table, was accurately cut in half by the tip of the sword, and then floated down.

The reveal of this hand was so shocking that the whole scene suddenly boiled with applause and cheers. Pei Min remained calm, sheathed his sword, and saluted the guests present again, with a humble and calm expression.

"Brother Pei is really a master of swordsmanship!" An official who looked quite forthright couldn't help but admire.

"Not only is he a master of swordsmanship, I heard that Brother Pei is also famous on the border. He is a pillar of our Li Dynasty." Another official also agreed.

Everyone praised Pei Min's sword dance and his martial arts, but Pei Min himself just responded with a smile, without any hint of pride.

At that time, Pei Min's sword dance had not yet joined Zhang Xu's cursive calligraphy and Li Taibai's poems as one of the three greatest talents. The reason why the officials were flattering was just to give face to the Prime Minister Wang.

Prime Minister Wang is now a famous figure in front of the sage, with great power in the government and the public. It was Prime Minister Wang who proposed the "making tea system". His long and eloquent article on "The Benefits of Tea Making" was immediately recognized by the sage. Yazhou was approved as a pilot project for tea production.

Because his sister was clamoring to open a tea shop, Yao Ziyi took advantage of his drinking power and boldly asked Wang Xiangye how the "Tea System" was being implemented in Yazhou and whether it would really be promoted nationwide.

Wang Guangjin regards the "Tea System" as his main political achievement during his term of office, and he must brag about it now. And who of the other officials are not sycophants who adapt to the wind? Everyone praised Wang Guangjin's "Tea System" as a wise strategy that benefited the people.

Wang Guangjin waved his hand in a detached manner and said: "Sages are wise and wise. If the tea system is supported in Yazhou, it is also because the saints are supported by the people."

When Wang Guangjin said this, Pei Min, the sword dancer, stood aside and clenched his fist——
