Qing Yin Yuan

The eldest wife didn't wake up until the night, and after seeing it, Dr. Zhou said that there was nothing serious, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After waking up, the eldest lady had a sad look on her face. This year, she had already sent a few people to Huqiu Temple, but every time she got a reply, she was told to wait a little longer. She also thought that something went wrong. But didn't expect it to be so serious.

The loss of Huqiu Tea certainly made her sad, and it was even more sad to hear the news that the abbot had died.

She said to Zhuang Xinyan and the others: "Master Kasyapa has always remembered in his heart just because he received your father's help when he was young. After he became the abbot, the tiger hill tea in the temple was scarce, and he would always make it every year. Leave us some. It can be said that if it weren't for these Huqiu teas, we would never have achieved the status of tribute merchants in Yangcheng, and we would not have become the head of official tea so easily. I didn't expect our benefactor to end up in such a tragic end." Tears fell as he spoke.

Qin Tian couldn't see that the eldest wife was sad, so he quickly comforted: "Madam, don't be sad first, Huqiu is far away from here, and the news is not well-informed. Maybe there is something wrong in the period, I'd better find out first."

The eldest lady raised her head and said, "You're right, I want to find out what's going on here and see what I can do to repay Master Kasyapa's kindness to us."

The next day, the eldest wife sent a few competent people to rush to Huqiu Temple to inquire about the situation. At the same time, she also asked Manager Xu and Steward Feng to find a way to find new tribute tea varieties. ( ) Hope to find out as soon as possible to replace Tiger Hill as a tribute tea. In order to preserve the status of Gong Cha, now the Zhuang family has just lost the position of official tea, if even the name of Gong Cha is lost, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold among the many menacing competitors of commercial tea.

It was really a 'wave' before a 'wave' started again. While waiting for the news from Huqiu Temple, the eldest lady was anxiously looking for new varieties of tribute tea. The body is getting thinner day by day.

Fortunately, the second room also knew that the tribute tea issue was of great importance at this time, and did not add "chaos" at this time, otherwise the life of the eldest wife would be more difficult to be peaceful.

Half a month later, one of the people sent to Huqiu came back to report, bringing back good news and bad news.

The good news is that the abbot, Master Kasyapa, has not died, but was just locked up. The bad news is that the Huqiu tea tree has been destroyed. From now on, there will be no Huqiu tea in the world.

The eldest wife was flustered by joy and sorrow, and she was exhausted.

Lai Ren said: "I heard that this is a force from the capital, and even the local government dare not directly confront it. We spent a lot of money to find out that Master Kasyapa was imprisoned by them and suffered a lot. , but the person in charge suddenly returned to Beijing, and the people below just didn't know what to do with the host master, we got through the way, and the other party said that as long as we 'pay' the full five thousand taels of silver, the host master will be let go."

Without any hesitation, the eldest wife hurriedly called steward Jiang, took 5,000 taels of silver from the account, and asked this person to take it with him, and ordered that Master Kasyapa be brought back safely.

But the matter of tribute tea left the eldest wife at a loss, because so far, no tea leaves that can replace Huqiu have been found.

"Madam, I heard that the Tianchi Tea Shop in Sucheng is preparing to open a branch in our Yangcheng.",

On this day, shopkeeper Liu reported to the eldest wife.

"Tianchi?" The eldest lady raised her head, her expression full of worry, "How can we hide such a big thing about the destruction of Huqiu Tea? They must have received the news that Huqiu Tea was destroyed. Their Although Tianchi Tea is also a tribute tea, it has been crushed by our Tiger Hill for a long time, and they have long been unwilling, and now they are trying to take advantage of our loss of tribute tea to steal our business."

Yueniang, who was on the side, quickly comforted: "Don't worry too much, madam, although we lost Huqiu, but we have been in Yangcheng for so many years, how can someone say that they can take it away?"

The eldest wife is not as optimistic as she is: "Most people in the world tend to follow the trend, and they are popular with people who are in power, and those who lose power are trampled on. Now that we are not official tea, and there is no Huqiu tribute tea, do you think those merchants will still sell us. face?"

Internal and external troubles, the worst result is that even the tea shop will not be able to operate...

The eldest lady took a deep breath, only to feel a dull pain in her 'chest'.

On the other side, in the Juxiang courtyard, the second concubine and the others were also worried about the loss of the tribute tea.

"Without the title of official tea, and without Huqiu tribute tea, it will be even more difficult for us to do this business!" After all, Zhuang Xinchuan has been in the tea shop for so long, and he knows how bad it is to lose tribute tea, "It's only been so long, Tianchi in Sucheng has begun to prepare to grab our business, and I am afraid that more tribute tea merchants will come in and want to take a share in the future."

"So, even if we grab the tea shop, it might be a mess?" Although the second concubine is very powerful, she doesn't know much about the business. Seeing Zhuang Xinchuan's anxious expression, she realizes the seriousness of the matter. !

"Oh, what about the money I owe my father? My father wrote a letter two days ago to mention this!" Liu Bijun was also anxious.

When Zhuang Xinchuan heard this, he became angry, slapped hard on the table, and said angrily: "You only care about your parents' family, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, you have to remember, you are us now The banker's man!"

Liu Bijun is the eldest daughter of a daughter, and she is pampered at home, but she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Hearing Zhuang Xinchuan's anger, he immediately stood up, pointed at him and said in a shrill voice, "Zhuang Xinchuan, you have no conscience, haven't I done enough? How long has it been since I got married, but how much money did I bring back from my mother's house? I am devoted to you, but what about you, how did you treat me? While saying that you only like me, it is Linger and Qin Tian. What the hell are you doing to me? You talk, you talk!" Afterwards, Liu Bijun was beating and crying, which annoyed Zhuang Xinchuan, but because he owed her family in the end Silver, and dare not attack. ( )

The second concubine watched anxiously from the side, but couldn't talk, because what her son did was really disgraceful, she gave Zhuang Mingxi, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, a wink and asked her to Come find a way.

Zhuang Ming sighed with joy, put down the tea in his hand, and said calmly: "Brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, things are not exhausted!"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Bijun stopped crying and sat down again, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuang Mingxi looked at her and smiled slightly: "sister-in-law, how can there be a cat that doesn't steal in this world? Why does my brother keep 'touching' and 'touching' secretly all the time? Isn't he worried about sister-in-law's feelings? Now Qin Tian has already expressed his attitude. , Linger has also been sold, my brother also knows that I'm sorry for you, sister-in-law, and has been changing the way to please sister-in-law. If sister-in-law still insists on the past, makes a lot of noise, hurts the relationship between husband and wife, sister-in-law Will you be happy?"

Liu Bijun was stunned, glanced at Zhuang Xinchuan secretly, and was speechless.

Zhuang Mingxi looked at his brother again: "Brother, it's not my sister who wants to talk about you, so you should take care of yourself. Look carefully, how many people really care about you? That is, we are sitting beside you, especially Sister-in-law, I am more responsive to your needs, thinking of you wholeheartedly, planning for you, sister-in-law is the one who is with you for life and worthy of your trust, you should cherish it well and never make your sister-in-law angry again."

These words were said to go to Liu Bijun's heart, she blinked and the tears rolled down again.

Zhuang Xinchuan could naturally hear what his sister said. He will rely on the Yue family a lot in the future. Offending his wife will not do him any good. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand and said softly, "Okay, don't cry, yes. Mine isn't, I'll let you fight okay?"

With her husband's soft words, Liu Bijun's face looked better.

The second concubine was anxious about what Zhuang Mingxi had said before. She sat down beside Zhuang Mingxi, took her hand and said, "Good girl, don't sell it. You said that things have not reached the point of exhaustion. Do you have a good idea for something!"

"Isn't the emperor going to visit Yangcheng in the south next year?" Zhuang Mingxi smiled slightly, his eyes 'waves' flowing, "The uncle is the prefect, and all the emperor's affairs in Yangcheng are naturally handled by him. "

Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingxi opened the small blue 'flower' porcelain cup on the table, which contained the best tea leaves. Zhuang Mingxi pinched some of them, put them in the palm of his hand, and pulled the tea leaves with his fingers.

"There are a lot of good teas in the world, as long as we can find a good tea with a little 'color' and let the prefects present it to the emperor to drink, the emperor can only praise 'good tea', and the title of tribute tea can't be escaped. Take off, from now on, both the tea and the tribute tea are in our hands, and the aunt won't give up her seat!" Zhuang Mingxi suddenly clenched his fists and crushed the tea leaves in his hands. But even so, the expression on his face remained calm.

The second concubine and Zhuang Xinchuan immediately showed their smiling faces, but after a while, Zhuang Xinchuan suddenly frowned, "But where can I find tea that can replace Huqiu, I heard that the aunt kept looking for it, but never found it. ."

"Brother is really confused!" Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Sometimes good things are brought out. There are many tribute teas in the world. Is it all the best tea in the world, and the people in the royal family must be able to distinguish the good from the bad? As long as someone is by the emperor's side Say a few more good words and praise it, as long as this tea is of a certain standard, the emperor will be able to become the best tea as soon as he opens his mouth!"

Zhuang Xinchuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he slapped his big legs, "What my sister said is very true, it is difficult to find tea that can replace Huqiu, but it is easy to find good tea with some special characteristics! Do it!"

Zhuang Mingxi got up, gave his brother Yingying a blessing, and said with a smile: "Then sister will first wish my brother success here, and take the position of head of the family as soon as possible!"

On the other side, Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan were in the tea room together with Steward Feng and Manager Xu, studying the tea leaves collected from all over the world these days.

All kinds of teas were tried one by one, but everyone shook their heads, "It can't be compared with Huqiu tea at all!

Zhuang Xinyan remembered one thing and wrote on the paper: "Master Feng, do you still remember a time when a few young masters picked fresh tea leaves from the mountain and asked us to help fry them?"
