On the other side, the study of the Governor's Palace

Hu Zhifu respectfully handed a gold-painted and painted official kiln white porcelain cup with both hands in front of the Governor-General Lin, who was sitting behind the desk, wearing a robe with five bats holding a longevity pattern.

Hu Zhifu bowed his waist, and said obediently: "Lord Governor, this is the tea that the Zhuang family wants to present to the emperor, and I also invite Lord Lin to taste it."

The Governor-General is nearly fifty years old, with a white face and no beard, his face is thin, his eyes are slightly squinted, but when he suddenly opens it, a 'fine' light flashes. He glanced at Hu Zhifu quietly, then raised the tea cup in front of him, took a slow sip, and frowned slightly: "Although this tea is not bad, it is better than other tribute teas. It's a bit worse, the emperor has not tried any good things? How can this kind of 'color' be seen, in case the emperor is in a bad mood and is charged with disrespect, none of us can bear it."

Hu Zhifu was still leaning over, looking at the Governor and whispering: "Lord Governor, although this tea is not as good as Longjing Huqiu, there is a very touching legend..."

The Governor raised his eyes, and the 'fine' light flashed in his eyes, "Legend? What legend?"

"A legend about a father's kindness and filial piety..." Hu Zhifu looked at the Governor and said word by word.

Lord Governor rolled his eyes, stood up, and paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. After a while, Fang stopped, "If that's the case, you can give it a try."

The emperor has been on the throne for so many years, what good things in the world have you not tasted? But just because have tried everything, even the best things are numb. Only things that can move his heart can win his favor. The emperor's biggest heart problem now is that his sons are all grown up, and each has his own ideas, and gradually begins to break free from his control. At this time, the emperor should be the most emotional about the story of father's kindness and filial piety...

"My lord, as long as the second house of the banker gets the tribute tea, they will be able to successfully win the position of the head of the tea shop. At that time, the largest tea shop in Yangcheng will be completely under our control!" Mr. Hu approached Mr. Governor's office. He said before him, "Now, the emperor has ordered the ban on the sea, and Shengshi Tea Shop is second to none among the tea merchants in the south in terms of scale and financial resources. At that time, we can use Shengshi to use various conveniences to sell tea overseas. I heard that we The tea produced is very easy to sell overseas, and it will be an income no less than that of the salt business!"

After these words, Governor Lin was overjoyed. He turned to pat Hu Zhifu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Jingzhi is so loyal and hardworking, he will succeed in the future, and he should remember his merits!"

Hu Zhifu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent over and cupped his hands: "Everything depends on the cultivation of adults!"

Governor Lin patted him on the shoulder a few times, raised his head and laughed a few times, and then said: "The holy car will arrive in Yangcheng soon, and you should be more restrained during this time. Don't disturb the emperor."

"Yes."

Meixiang Garden

A man in his thirties dressed as a servant entered the yard and was taken to Zhuang Mingxi's small study by the big maid Magpie to answer.

Zhuang Mingxi was practicing calligraphy, but he didn't raise his eyes when he saw people coming in. He kept writing and asked lightly, "What's going on?"

The servant bent down and replied respectfully: "In response to the fourth lady, the fourth lady asked the little one to stare at the eldest young master and the eldest young 'milk'. In the courtyard and the tea shop, I saw the eldest young master's servant Haifu and the big shopkeeper have gone out a few times."

Zhuang Mingxi stopped writing and raised his eyes: "Did you ask someone to follow them, do you know where they went?"

"Haifu went to the palaces of officials at all levels in the city to cast their salutations, but none of those officials saw them."

At this time, Zhuang Xinchuan walked in with a smile, and said loudly, "Sister, I'll say you're over-hearted, Lord Hu has already 'confessed' it, don't try to find a 'door' way to approach the emperor from the big room!"

The magpie and the servant called the second young master, and Zhuang Xinchuan waved his hand to let them go down, but Zhuang Mingxi told the servant, "Keep sending people to watch them."

Then he looked at Zhuang Xinchuan, and said lightly, "Be careful sailing the ten thousand year ship, I always feel that as a person, I should not be unprepared!"

"How can she prepare for being blind?" Zhuang Xinchuan flipped up the robe with the pattern of azurite 'color' treasure phase 'flower', sat down on the chair opposite Zhuang Mingxi, looked at his sister and said with a smile, "Just now, my uncle Send someone to pass the word, and when our tea arrives, he will personally offer it, our tribute tea this time is guaranteed!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingxi couldn't help showing some joy. She put down the pen in her hand and walked out to Zhuang Xinchuan with a slight blessing, and said with a smile, "My sister is here to congratulate my brother first."

Zhuang Xinchuan laughed complacently, and suddenly he withdrew his smile as he didn't know what was going on. Seeing it, Zhuang Mingxi hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Zhuang Xinchuan said embarrassedly: "Master Xie asked me to meet at Wangjiang Tower tomorrow. It must be about Qin Tian's affairs with me. I don't know how to explain it."

Zhuang Ming raised his head and said with a sneer: "Is there anything I need to 'explain' to him? We don't owe him. If he dares to despise me because of a maid, I won't marry him!" With a slap in the face, Zhuang Mingxi still hated herself in her heart. Although she loved Nicholas Tse's handsomeness and the wealth of the Xie family, when she thought that she was not as good as a maid in his mind, she had countless unwillingness and resentment in her heart, and she would rather not marry this person. .

"Sister, don't say such rude words again!" Zhuang Xinchuan's face sank, he patted his robe and stood up, seemingly annoyed: "Marriage matters are the orders of the parents, the matchmaker's words! If not With my uncle here, do you think the aunt will let you get into such a good marriage? If you are more awkward, she will be the first to be happy! The Xie family is of great use to us, so don't ruin everyone's good deeds!"

After speaking, he snorted and walked away

Looking at his brother's back, Zhuang Mingxi blushed with anger, tears welling in his eyes. She suddenly 'kneaded' the paper on the table to practice calligraphy into a ball, and slumped to throw the paper on the ground.

She thought of her brother wholeheartedly, but her brother didn't care about her mood at all...

She bit her lip involuntarily.

A four-carriage with blue forgings and dark sleeves slowly drove out of the big 'door' of the dealer, and two people stuck their heads out of the secret place next to the big 'door'.

One of them was Zhang Quan, the servant who spoke to Zhuang Mingxi in Meixiang Garden. He said to another younger servant next to him, who was wearing a gray 'color' coarse robe: "Where did you hear they went?"

The man replied, "I heard that he was going to Liu's family, the eldest son's 'milk' and 'milk'. ( )"

Zhang Quan frowned: "Didn't you go back to the 'door' in the three dynasties?"

"I heard that Liu Shi was ill, and the eldest young master's 'milk', 'milk' and the eldest young master went."

Zhang Quan nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are fast, follow first, don't lose. I will come later."

The man agreed and ran out in a hurry.

Zhang Quan turned around and called two more talents to follow.

In the carriage, Qin Tian quietly lifted the curtains of the car and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a man trotting furtively and not far behind.

I sneered in my heart, why are these people tracking without any technical content?

She turned back to Zhuang Xinyan next to her and pointed to the back, Zhuang Xinyan glanced back, smiled slightly, and looked like she understood her 'chest'.

He wrote on the paper: "Everything is going according to plan, see if they can keep up!" He raised his eyes to look at Qin Tian, ​​his eyes flickering, the corners of his mouth smiling, with a rare vitality. It's like the 'spring' snow melts and hundreds of 'flowers' bloom, making people's eyes bright and feeling more comfortable.

"Yes, our young master Zhuang is the smartest!" Qin Tian couldn't help laughing.

Zhuang Xinyan had already discovered that someone was stalking him, so he simply took the plan and made the other party think that they were running around in Yangcheng with nothing to do, and let the other party relax their vigilance. In fact, Zhuang Xinyan had other plans.

Hearing Qin Tian's praise, Zhuang Xinyan raised his eyebrows, obviously very happy.

Qin Tian suddenly approached him and blinked with a strange expression, "They like to run so much, why not let them run faster?"

Zhuang Xinyan rolled his eyes, immediately understood what she meant, smiled again, his eyes 'shot' on his face through the car window, reflecting his nobleness and elegance like a beautiful 'jade'.

Qin Tian blinked again, didn't turn his head decisively, and shouted to the outside of the car, "Haifu, hurry up the carriage."

"Okay." Haifu outside the car replied, and then there was the sound of a whip, and after a while, the carriage seemed to be flying.

Qin Tian turned his head, looked at the stalker running outside the car, covered his mouth and laughed.

Soon after arriving at Liu's house, the two got off the carriage at the door. Qin Tian deliberately slowed down his movements. After a while, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the stalker coming and hid in a small alley not far away. , panting like he was about to die, Qin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, nodded towards Zhuang Xinyan, and the two entered the banker together.

After a while, Zhang Quan also came with someone. When he looked left and right, he saw his striker beckoning to him not far away, and he hurried over.

"How is it?" Zhang Quan asked.

He started gasping for breath and replied, "I just went in, I watched them go in with my own eyes."

While speaking, another Zhu Lun carriage drove to Liu's house's gate, and a man and a woman got off the carriage. Zhang Quan glanced casually, and saw that the man was wearing a dark blue 'color' robe, and the 'female' was wearing a light green 'color' robe. ' It was a guest from Liu's residence, so he didn't care much. He turned his head to the two people beside him and said, "Give me to the back door and the side door to guard, don't let them take the opportunity to escape!"

The two took the lead.

A few people stood guard outside the 'door' for about an hour and a half, when they saw a man and a woman come out. Zhang Quan recognized from their clothes that it was the man and woman who went in first. ' lowered his head, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and seemed to be sobbing. The man turned his back to Zhang Quan, put his arms around the woman's waist, and comforted her softly. Zhang Quan watched them get on the Zhu Lun carriage, and after Shi Shi left, he turned his face and continued to stare at the big 'door', ignoring the scene just now.

On the Zhu Lun carriage, the 'woman' took off the handkerchief covering her mouth, glanced out from the curtain of the car, and then smiled at the man beside her, "I finally got rid of them."

The man and woman were Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan in disguise. The man and woman who had entered before were also the ones they arranged. After they changed their clothes, they slipped out under Zhang Quan's eyes.

It's not that I'm afraid of Zhang Quan, it's just that this time the actions must be kept secret, and there must be no 'disclosure', otherwise it will only give them a chance to destroy, and they must continue to 'bewilder' and 'confuse' opponents until they successfully get the tribute tea. one day.

Qin Tian only cared about being happy, but he didn't notice the hand that Zhuang Xinyan was still putting on her waist. Zhuang Xinyan secretly rejoiced and approached her quietly, almost hugging her in his arms.

Just when he was enjoying the soft 'jade' warm fragrance in his arms, Qin Tian suddenly noticed it. He first looked at the hand on his waist, and then looked straight at him.

Zhuang Xinyan seemed to have noticed it just now, and let go of his hand innocently, his clear eyes seemed to say, "I didn't mean to, I didn't pay attention..."

Qin Tian rolled his eyes and looked at him for a while, his eyes became more and more clear and innocent.

Qin Tian was not sure again, and felt that the other party might not really mean it...

Hai Fu's voice came from outside the 'door': "Young master 'milk', 'milk', where are you going now."

Qin Tian first looked at Zhuang Xinyan and smiled, and then said to Hai Fu, "Go to the Governor's Ya'men!"
