An arrogant concubine fell from the harem

Chapter 182 I admit it, I feel very upset (4)

Seeing my disapproving expression, Song Huilian was also smart and knew that I was ignorant, so she hurriedly said, "Ms. Concubine Shu, this dragon and phoenix cake tribute tea is very expensive. Picking and roasting. This tea is very rare, only about ten catties are produced a year, and a catty of dragon and phoenix cake tribute tea only costs twenty cakes, which is worth two taels of gold. But no matter how much gold there is, this tea cannot be bought. "

Song Huilian sent me the so-called rare dragon and phoenix cake tribute tea, which was packed in a small red lacquer box with a gold-plated lock. Tea cakes with various patterns of flowers and plants—that is to say, these ten cakes of tea leaves, half a catty, are worth a tael of gold.

我心里飞速地盘算着：1斤=500克，1斤=10两，1两=50克。21世纪2008年的黄金价，1克估计是二百元，50克是1万元。

Damn, this little bit of tea cake costs 1 yuan?

What a luxury.

After I fiddled with those tea cakes for a while, I raised my head and saw Ximen Qing, who was not far away, had been staring at the tea cakes, reluctant to look away, as if seeing some rare treasure, with a salivating and extremely envious look , I raised my voice: "Ximen Qing—"

Simon hurried over: "The servant is here."

"Do you like drinking tea?" I asked him, "If you like, then I will give you this tea."

Ximen Qing was taken aback and couldn't believe it. He shook his head and waved his hands in fright: "Slave, I don't dare to ask for it, it's too, too expensive."

Song Huilian also opened her eyes wide, and she said: "Concubine Shu, this is dragon and phoenix pancake tribute tea. Because it is precious, the emperor asked his concubine to send it to Concubine Shu."

"What the emperor gave me is mine, isn't it?" I asked.

"Yes." Song Huilian said.

"Since it's my thing, how I dispose of it is also my business, right?" I asked again.

"Yes." Song Huilian said.

I said to Ximen Qing: "Take it, if you don't want it, I'll throw it away." I said again: "Anyway, I don't know how to taste tea. I drink tea leaves that cost two taels of gold and one copper coin a catty." To me the tea leaves are no different, a good thing is wasted.”

Ximen Qing was inexplicably pleasantly surprised, and said again and again: "I thank you, my servant! Thank you, my lady!"

I laughed: "I'm just being a favor, if you want to thank, thank Song Cairen."

Ximen Qing said: "My servant thanked Song Cairen."
