The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 39 Opponents
When I got back to the teahouse, there were not many people at the moment, but when I thought about the opening of another teahouse across the street, I felt bored and panicked.

"Qilan, have you heard that someone is going to open a teahouse?"

Seeing my question, Qilan shook her head.

I also guessed that she didn't know about it, but the most famous tea maker in the imperial city was invited, and I always felt that the person behind this scene must be not simple.

"Miss, if you want to know who the owner of the teahouse is, and if you want to open the teahouse tomorrow, we should be able to meet you."

Hearing this, I paused slightly.

Forget it, no matter whether that person comes or not, this teahouse of mine must not be closed. After all, this teahouse is a place where I make a living, and on the other hand, it is also a place where I communicate with Aunt Liu. There is almost nowhere for me to go away from here.

However, not long after I entered the teahouse, suddenly a carriage stopped at the door of the teahouse.

Not long after the carriage stopped, I saw my father get out of the carriage.

Seeing this scene, I immediately froze.

father this is...

I walked out, and my father's spirit was much better at this time. When he saw me, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, you are safe."

Hearing this, I felt sore in my heart, but I pretended to be panicked and said on the face: "The Prime Minister actually came to my small teahouse in person, Xiaomin is really lucky."

Seeing what I said, my father smiled and said, "Just call me Master Zhou outside."

Hearing this, I immediately laughed and said, "Master Zhou please come inside!"

After I settled my father down, I smiled and said, "Xiaomin hasn't made tea today, if Mr. Zhou is willing to wait for a while, Xiaomin will go and make you some good tea right away."

Seeing what I said, my father nodded, "It's okay, I'll just wait a little longer."

Seeing that I made tea not long after I came back, Qilan felt a little distressed and said, "Miss, why don't you let this servant come, you'd better rest more, your body hasn't recovered yet!"

Hearing this, I raised my eyes and looked at Qilan. I was naturally happy when my father came. Even if I couldn't tell him my identity, it was my filial piety to make tea for him.

"No need, Mr. Zhou who just came in is a distinguished guest, we must not neglect."

I have never explained my relationship with my father to Qilan, so naturally I will not tell her that no matter how bad my health is, I am willing to cook a pot of hot tea for my father to honor him.

After about three quarters of an hour, the tea was ready and I brought it to my father myself.

Then, I reached for the glass and poured a glass with him.

"Master Zhou, please have some tea!"

I put the cup in front of him, he raised his hand to pick up the cup, smelled the tea fragrance slightly and couldn't help laughing: "Xiang, although it's not the best tea, but the smell of this tea makes people feel comfortable."

Hearing this, I smiled lightly.

Immediately, my father lowered his head and took a sip. I stood aside and looked at him with a very clear expression. Thinking about these days, he has thought through a lot, and his body has become much healthier.

But after seeing him take a few sips of tea, he put the cup down.

He took a closer look at me, then frowned immediately and said: "Why, looking at it now, Brother Zhou seems to be much thinner than when he went to the Zhou Mansion a while ago?"

Hearing my father's question, I felt sour. If in the past, where I was wronged, my father would definitely come forward to help me get justice. If I was sick, he would be even more worried.

Now that I suddenly heard him say that I am thin and weak, I naturally remembered many things in the past.

But soon, I suppressed the soreness in my heart, and said with a faint smile: "To tell the truth, Master Zhou, I suffered from some wind and cold a few days ago, and I was sick for a few days. I didn't even do the business of the teahouse. Coincidentally, I came back for a while, and you came."

Hearing that I was sick, my father frowned a little, but when I heard that he was lucky today, he smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke the already gray beard on his chin and said: "It seems that the old man and Brother Zhou are also Some fate!"

Seeing what he said, I smiled slightly, but not far away, Qilan has been looking at us without knowing it, yes, I have never explained the identity of my father to Qilan.

At this moment, Qilan brought some snacks, I immediately took the snacks and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, try the almond cake made by my brother, and then drink the tea I made myself, let's see how it tastes?"

Hearing what I said, my father reached out and picked up a piece of almond cake, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he saw the servant beside him say: "Master, you should be more careful."

Hearing this, I subconsciously frowned, maybe this servant was worried that I would poison my snacks.

However, I immediately smiled and said: "Since your master has drunk the tea I made, naturally he can also eat my dim sum."

Seeing what I said, my face turned red, but my father smiled and said: "Brother Zhou is right!"

I watched my father reach out and pick up the almond cake casually, and ate it. Afterwards, I drank a few sips of tea, and I seemed to be in good spirits.

But I saw people's voices coming from the teahouse opposite the house from time to time, and many passers-by also gathered around to watch. At this moment, my father's eyes were also attracted.

"What is the shop across the street doing? It's so lively?"

Hearing this, I smiled and said: "I heard from my brother that there is also a teahouse to be opened across the street, and the best tea maker in the imperial city has been invited. I am afraid that my business here will be much weaker in the future. .”

When I said this, although I had a smile on my face, I was a little displeased in my heart. After all, this man insisted on opening a teahouse opposite me, which was clearly against me.

Seeing what I said, my father smiled and said: "In my opinion, the tea made by Brother Zhou himself is unique. Even the best tea maker in the imperial city can't make the tea contained in Brother Zhou's tea. It's just a taste."

Hearing this, I was a little surprised.

"What is the taste?"

Seeing my question, my father smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's just me who thinks that, although Brother Zhou's tea is not high-quality tea, it does make people feel comfortable drinking it, and it makes people feel comfortable drinking it. No matter how good the taste of other high-quality tea is, you can’t drink it like this.”

Hearing my father comment on the tea I made, I was naturally moved.

"It's Mr. Zhou who praised me!"

Talked to my father again, about an hour later, my father got up to go back to Zhou Mansion.

I sent him out of the teahouse, but he smiled and said, "Go to the teahouse and get busy!"

Seeing the carriage going away, Qilan just walked up to me and said curiously: "Miss, who is this noble man just now, this servant looks at him like he is very powerful."

Hearing this, I turned around and looked at Qilan and smiled slightly.

"It's our prime minister from Daqing, so naturally he's amazing!"

Seeing what I said, Qilan's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, but she stammered: "Then miss, how did you know our prime minister in Daqing?"

Seeing her surprised look, I immediately smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that there was a young master who knocked on the door of our teahouse to avoid the rain? At that time, I lent him my umbrella."

Seeing what I said, Qilan naturally remembered, and immediately I continued: "That young master is the prime minister's son, now you understand."

I've already explained it clearly enough, Qilan looked almost as if she had made a big mistake, she immediately blushed.

"Miss, why didn't you make it clear to the servant earlier that when you were sent by the young master's people to pick you up to the prime minister's mansion, the servant was afraid that the young master was not a good person and would harm you, miss!"

Seeing Qilan's appearance, I shook my head helplessly and smiled and said: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't tell you the truth. I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion next time, so you should be anxious!"

I chatted and laughed with Qilan, but after we finished speaking and took a break, I remembered what happened today.

Today in Prince Li's mansion, I always felt that Yu Wenli seemed to be secretly competing with Jun Wuyou, not only that, but he also seemed to be deliberately testing me, thinking of this, I felt a little annoyed, and I wondered if he would You can see my identity. After all, my current appearance is the real third lady of Murong Mansion. If he sees it, I don't know if he will get me into trouble.
