(xxiii) Cooperate again

The most high-end restaurant in the imperial capital of Beimu - Qionghualou, the decoration of Qionghualou is very rough, the decoration style of the restaurant is generally more elegant like Tianyue, more decorative calligraphy and painting, celebrity masterpieces, more like a place where the literati and ink dances and grinds, and the architectural style of the restaurant in Beimu is more atmospheric, there are few calligraphy and paintings embellished among them, and more are the trophies of the host or guests hunting, such as the head of the elk, the fur of the tiger and leopard and other beasts, and there are also many bird specimens such as cranes and falcons, Otherwise, it is a variety of handicrafts inlaid with pearls and gemstones, although Qionghualou is called Qionghualou, but the interior decoration of the trophies is more, many of which are the trophies of the royal family, it seems that the boss behind the Qionghualou is not simple, just look at the name under the furnishings can imagine how luxurious it is.

At this moment, Lan Susu was sitting in a position near the window on the second floor, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, looking at the bustling street market with people coming and going downstairs, still dressed in white and snowy, the guests who came in from this Qionghua Building were also characters with heads and faces, and Lan Susu was still sitting there like this, which still made the passing guests a little unable to take their eyes off. Lan Susu didn't pay attention to this scrutinizing gaze, just drank tea leisurely, today she made an appointment with Helian Qingcheng to do business with him before going back.

Hey, isn't this Miss Lan Su from Tianyue? Lan Susu ignored the people around him, but it didn't mean that people wouldn't provoke him, and when he looked back, who was Helian Qingzhu, the red-clothed county lord who inexplicably discriminated against him because of Gao Changgong in the palace banquet. But she really likes red, and she wears red everywhere she goes.

Lord of Qingzhu. Lan Susu is not angry, but he just says hello without saltiness, this person has nothing to do with himself, and he doesn't take those things to heart, but Lan Susu doesn't take it to heart doesn't mean that Helian Qingzhu doesn't take it to heart.

Helian Qingzhu only felt that Lan Susu let her fall into the ice lake that day, and let her imperial uncle and cousin Qingcheng lose a lot of face to her, she has not been able to find a chance to enter the post house in the past few days, just when she thought that there was no way to take revenge, but she didn't want to step on the shoes and nowhere to find it, she actually came out by herself to let herself be arrested, she is the lord of a country, I am afraid that I can't rectify a business girl! Lan Susu, you are so bold that you dare to despise the county lord of a country, why don't you salute when you see the county lord of this country. Helian Qingzhu raised her head proudly, and there were several young aristocratic ladies standing beside her, thinking that they were the people she usually came and went.

Lan Susu has seen the county lord of Qingzhu. Lan Susu didn't want to entangle with Helian Qingzhu, stood up and blessed Helian Qingzhu, then sat down and continued to drink tea by himself, ignoring Helian Qingzhu and his party who were still at the table.

Lan Susu, did you bow to the lord of the county like this? I am the lord of a country, why do you see me not doing national etiquette? Seeing that Lan Susu just blessed himself and sat down, Helian Qingzhu's proud face was crooked when he saw Lan Susu get up and salute, this foreign woman was too arrogant to even take herself in her eyes! If you don't teach her how embarrassing it is! The county lord, Su Su is just a vulgar country woman, and she doesn't understand complicated etiquette. Lan Susu still looked indifferent.

You'll admit that you're just a vulgar redneck, and that's fine. Since I am the lord of a country, you can give me a national gift.

Please also forgive the county lord, Su Su is difficult to obey, this national rite is the etiquette of the king's majesty, the county lord is just the prince's daughter, Su Su is the guest of the Beimu Emperor, and the ceremony just now is just for the sake of you being the county lord of Beimu Qingzhu, the county lord should not beat the snake and stick it, so as not to cause trouble. Lan Susu's tone was not salty or light, but it was even more so that Helian Qingzhu's face was blue but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, Lan Susu is a person who will really bring benefits to Beimu, and he is just a county lord of Beimu, and he has no contribution to the royal family, to say that the effect on Beimu is indeed that Lansuin has a greater effect! Miss Lan, the county lord lost a valuable jade pendant in this Qionghua Building, this jade pendant is a gift from my imperial uncle to the county lord on the day of the county lord and the county, it is very important to the county lord, now the county is mainly looking for this jade pendant, all the people in the Qionghua Building will cooperate, after all, this is a valuable item rewarded by the Son of Heaven, I think Miss Lan will not refuse to cooperate with our investigation. Seeing the two patrols in the market downstairs, Helian Qingzhu had another plan in his heart, thinking that this time Lan Susu would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die, and he would not come to Beimu again in the future.

Su Su is naturally willing to cooperate, but since the elements are cooperative, then everyone present cannot be excluded and must be inspected together. Helian Qingzhu's small movements have not been hidden from Lan Susu's sharp eyes, people who practice martial arts have five senses that are stronger than ordinary people, Lan Susu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and in the previous life, there was a secret book in the Lan family that only taught the head of the family for training the five senses, in the world Lan Susu has been diligent in practicing, in such a cold weapon era, martial arts are very important, and Lan Susu does not dare to slack off for a moment.

Very good, since Helian Qingzhu wants to be unforgiving, don't blame me for being unkind, the so-called rabbit is anxious to bite people, and the dog is anxious to jump over the wall, not to mention that I Lan Susu is not something that anyone can bully, since you are pressing step by step, then I don't have to be polite to anyone, I don't know who the deer is dead, I hope you have the last laugh, Lan Susu followed Helian Qingzhu's gaze and not only saw the two patrolling patrols, but also saw Helian Qingcheng walking in!

Since Miss Lan agreed to cooperate, and the county lord lost the precious jade presented by the Beimu Emperor, if this matter is not solved by the government, then the Beimu Emperor Xià will also feel that the county lord is incompetent and does not dare to look for the jade pendant, so the county lord decided to ask the patrol of the imperial capital to find this treasure jade for the county lord, everyone here please do not leave, after the patrol and investigation, the person who did not steal the treasure jade can naturally leave, The person who stole the treasure jade will also be arrested by the patrol and arrested, and then punished by the lord of the county, this thief dares to steal the things given by the emperor, and the lord of the county must ask the emperor to punish him heavily, lest some people do not take the majesty of the heavenly family to heart. Seeing Lan Susu drilling into his own good suit, Helian Qingzhu was so happy. On the surface, it is still a strict faction.

The county lord of Qingzhu, Su Su thought that since this treasure jade was given by Emperor Beimu himself, it must be extremely valuable, and the two patrolling shops were afraid that they would not be able to decide, so Su Su thought that it would be more appropriate to ask Jing Zhaoyin to judge the case. Lan Susu's tone was sincere, and the wind was light and there was no panic.

Since Miss Lan mentioned yì like this, the county lord also felt that it was more appropriate, Miss Lan was worthy of being a person who rolled in the business field, and she was meticulous and thoughtful in everything she did. Helian Qingzhu was even happier when he saw Lan Susu say this, it would be better if Jing Zhaoyin came, Jing Zhaoyin is old acquaintance of King Qi is not afraid that he will not buy his own account.

This is very good, the county lord should send someone to invite Jing Zhaoyin quickly, otherwise after a long delay, I am afraid that the thief has already fled. As for what Helian Qingzhu is going to do, Lan Susu has already been clear in his heart, since Helian Qingzhu is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Hongye, you go and ask Jing Zhaoyin to sue him for losing the treasure jade of the county lord, and ask him to come to Qionghualou to judge the case quickly. Helian Qingzhu also gave her maid a look, and the maid had been serving her for a long time, so she naturally understood what she meant, and now she was blessed and went out with a sense of understanding. This qiē Lan Susu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, anyway, he would be fine in the end, why bother with other things, at this time, Helian Qingcheng had already entered Qionghua Tower, and when he went upstairs, he heard Helian Qingzhu's arrogant order to invite Jing Zhaoyin, what happened to invite Jing Zhaoyin! At that moment, he stepped onto the elegant seat on the second floor in three steps and two steps, and saw Helian Qingzhu and a group of her usual followers surrounding Lan Susu in the middle.

Qingzhu, what are you doing here! Miss Lan is a guest of Her Majesty. Helian Qingcheng didn't ask about the situation, his cousin naturally knew her temperament, and she suffered a loss at the palace banquet, she must find a way to get it back, and they were embarrassed by Lan Susu.

Cousin, what are you doing so fiercely, what do Qingzhu dare to do in public, but the treasure jade sent by the emperor's uncle at the time of Qingzhu and Ji was lost, Qingzhu wanted to find it, Miss Lan felt that this matter was serious and asked Jing Zhaoyin to come to investigate, so Qingzhu sent Hongye to invite Lord Jingzhaoyin. Helian Qingzhu is also a person who walks in front of the emperor all the year round, and his kung fu in observing words and colors is not high, seeing that Helian Qingcheng is dedicated to protecting Lan Susu and how could he touch his reverse scales, he immediately explained the matter to Helian Qingcheng in a light way, and Lan Susu didn't dare to say anything, and when Jing Zhaoyin came, Lan Susu was not the meat man on his chopping board who slaughtered it by himself, and when the time came, she couldn't say it even if she had a hundred mouths.

Susu, you built yì Qingzhu to invite Jing Zhaoyin? Helian Qingcheng did not continue to ask Helian Qingzhu, but asked Lan Susu for confirmation.

Yes, the lord of Qingzhu County lost Baoyu, and this thing is a reward from His Majesty, and it is a matter of importance, and the guests of Qionghualou are noble and noble, and Su Su feels that it is more appropriate for Lord Jing Zhaoyin to come to hear it in person. Lan Susu didn't tell the truth, which made Helian Qingzhu breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that he really killed himself and was just pretending to be bland, and he was even more proud and looked down on this twelve-year-old girl, why should he fight with himself as a yellow-haired girl who has not dried up, the things at the palace banquet are just his luck for a while.

In that case, let's wait for Jing Zhaoyin to come. Helian Qingzhu didn't speak anymore, but secretly thought that if things were not good for Lan Susu, he would stop Jing Zhaoyin. Regardless of the other people present, they sat directly on the chair opposite Lan Susu. Qingcheng, since you have arrived, and Jing Zhaoyin has not yet come, then let's talk about business first, this is the best Ming Qian Longjing, you can taste it. Lan Susu poured the tea he had just brewed into the teacup in front of Helian Qingcheng.

For a while, the tea fragrance in the elegant seat was overflowing, and the smell was refreshing, only to see the tea soup in the teacup in front of Helian Qingcheng was green, the color was bright, and the tea leaves in the cup were as beautiful as the lotus heart, and the people present were all Beimu nobles, although the tea production of the wood was scarce, but there was no shortage of good tea in the homes of the nobles, but there were indeed few families in Longjing before such a good rain, and even Helian Qingcheng, who had seen a lot of treasures in the palace, also sighed that it was really good tea! Holding up the teacup, Helian Qingcheng only felt that the fragrance of the tea was getting stronger and stronger, and the tea taste was sweet and mellow after the tea soup was entered, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant.

Sure enough, it's a good tea, but it's a little different from Longjing before the rain, but this is indeed Longjing, but I can't spell the difference? Helian Qingcheng looked at Lan Susu and didn't feel ashamed of what he didn't know, after all, he was a human being, not an almighty god!

This is indeed a dragon well, but it is not an ordinary dragon well before the rain, this is the best Ming Qian tea in the dragon mirror. Lan Susu began to solve the puzzles of Helian Qingcheng. The so-called tea before the Ming Dynasty is three days before the Qingming Festival, by the virgin who has just been married and has not yet married the Longjing buds, at this time the buds of the tea tree burst out, like the lotus heart, so it is also called "lotus heart tea", a pound of dry tea has as many as 36,000 buds, it is a treasure in the Longjing, because the conditions for this tea picking are extremely high, so the annual output is not much, it is generally a tribute to the royal family, I can get a jar is also luck, since we are very good partners, there are good things I can not share with you. Lan Susu is not only introducing tea, but also talking about business, and brainwashing Helian Qingcheng through guò conversation skills!

I see, it's really a treasure, extraordinary, Su Su, what do you have to do with me this time, won't it just drink tea? Helian Qingcheng is also a smart person. Cyanin is penetrating at a point. There are actually two purposes for looking for you this time, one of which is to invite you to taste this excellent Ming Qian tea; Second, I want to do business with you again. Lan Susu is also a cheerful person, and he goes straight to the point, treating the surrounding Helian Qingzhu and others as air, and ignoring them directly.

Talking to me about a deal, I don't know what Su Su wants to sell to me this time? Hearing Lan Susu say that he wanted to talk about business, Helian Qingcheng was also interested.

No, I don't want to sell you anything this time, but I want to buy something from you. Buy something from me, you have already bartered a lot of pearls and gems this time, do you still want to exchange them again? In addition to these, Helian Qingcheng really couldn't think of anything else that Beimu needed.

In fact, what I want to buy is in front of you, and the pearl gems are enough and you don't need to buy them again. Do I have it right in front of me? This sentence made Helian Qingcheng even more confused. That's what I'm going to buy. Lan Susu pointed to the transparent glass-like glass in the window upstairs of Qionghua. You want to buy Ming glaze?? Seeing that Lan Susu wants to buy is not Beimu's pearl gemstones, but ordinary Ming glaze, which is a transparent glaze synthesized by the guò process, which is widely used in Beimu, because of good lighting, most of them are installed on the window instead of Ming paper.

Yes, what I want to buy is it, and I want you to help exchange all the gold and silver I exchanged for this goods for Ming glaze. Lan Susu's tone was solemn, and there was no hint of joke.

However, the Ming glaze is very fragile, and if you go to sea, you are afraid that only one out of ten can be preserved. Helian Qingcheng directly said the shortcomings of Ming Liuli, he didn't want Lan Susu to lose money.

I know that Ming glaze is fragile, I will consider these yourself, you don't have to worry, I have a way to store it, what you have to do is to make it according to my pattern, I will pay you the gold and silver first, and I will send someone to pick up the goods after half a year. Lan Su is full of confidence.

It's up to you, tomorrow you come to me with the contract. Helian Qingcheng suddenly thought that when he experienced the hurricane, there was also porcelain in Lan Susu's goods, but almost none of them were broken, it seems that he must have a way to preserve it, so that it can also promote the economic development of Beimu, why not do it himself.

Okay, a gentleman's word, a quick whip. I'll come to you tomorrow with a contract, and if you think there's no problem, sign it directly, and I'll be back in two days.

Okay, tomorrow night I will set up a banquet for you, both as a celebration and as a send-off for you to drink Gao Changgong, and today I will replace the wine with tea. After that, Helian Qingcheng drank all the tea soup in the cup.
