One hundred and seven

When Zhao Chengjin hurried to the gate of the tea garden, Xu You was using the world's common skills of pretending to be stupid to deal with all kinds of strange problems of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be particularly interested in her, and even the Wei guards, who had always been stiff-faced and didn't like to take care of people, looked at her from time to time, and their eyes were terrifyingly gentle, and Zhao Chengjin looked at her with a twitch in his heart.

Hurriedly greeted His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Cheng hurriedly led everyone into the garden, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the emperor's uncle was coming, and there was no preparation in the garden, which is really rude." He glanced at Xu You uneasily as he spoke, thought about it, and then pleaded guilty for her, and said, "Xiaoxue, she-"

As a result, his words had just begun, and the emperor waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go in and take a look." ”

What does that mean - His Majesty the Emperor is not angry? Zhao Cheng squeezed his eyes at Xu You, Xu You puffed out her face and spread her hands, she never knew whether His Majesty the Emperor was thinking well or not.

So, the group walked to the garden again, and the farmers who had stopped people before finally knew that the identity of the person who came was not ordinary, and at first they were frightened and their legs were weak, but when they saw that the emperor did not seem to have the intention of asking the queen, they couldn't help but get excited, and turned their heads to find someone to brag.

The tea garden is quite large, the original owner built a small manor at the foot of the mountain, with a total of seven courtyards, Shen Rong changed three of them into a place for making tea, and the rest of the yards were all cleaned up, but fortunately he prepared well in advance, and His Majesty the Emperor suddenly arrived at this time, and there was no place to sit.

But the emperor did not come to the garden to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but after sitting for a while, and drinking a cup of tea, he got up to walk around. Zhao Chengjin naturally knew what he wanted to see, so he glanced at Xu Yu and motioned for her to sneak away. Even if Zhao Cheng didn't warn, Xu You would try to hide away, and when he saw this, he quickly ran back with oil on the soles of his feet, but he didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to seem to have eyes on the back of his head, and suddenly said: "That little girl from the Meng family will also follow." ”

Xu You's newly raised foot stopped in mid-air, and he wanted to cry without tears and made a grimace at Zhao Chengjin, who also had a helpless and headache expression, nodded at her very hard, and motioned for her to come to him.

"I heard that this tea was made up by this little girl from the Meng family?" The emperor asked nonchalantly as he walked. Xu You didn't reply left and right, lowered his head and acted honestly, and Zhao Chengjin was fully responsible for answering, "Yes, she also learned it from elsewhere, and she fried it a few times, but I didn't expect it to be really made by her, it's really a coincidence." ”

The emperor didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, he glanced at him, and his eyes drifted to Xu You, who became more and more honest and respectful, and didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere with his head down. The more she was like this, the more the emperor stared at her, although he didn't forget to walk, but his eyes always glanced at Xu You, which made Zhao Chengjin on the side feel strange in his heart.

Fortunately, the emperor's attention was quickly attracted by Shen Rong and the hot tea scene in the courtyard, and began to ask Shen Rong various questions one after another, which gave Zhao Chengjin and Xu You a chance to breathe, and the two quietly hid behind the team and whispered.

“…… Why did Your Majesty come all of a sudden? I didn't even say hello, but it scared the hell out of me. Xu You wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with some fear, and complained in a low voice: "Is His Majesty the Emperor usually so idle? ”

Zhao Chengjin also smiled bitterly, "He remembered that one is one play, and no one can do anything about him." At first, Zhao Chengjin was always worried that the emperor would look down on the Meng family's family background and obstruct this marriage, but now, he began to worry about something else - how could His Majesty the Emperor look at Xiaoxue's eyes so strange! It's so disturbing.

Although Zhao Chengjin also believed that his imperial uncle would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary, he was still unhappy in his heart.

The workers who roasted tea in the courtyard didn't know the identity of the emperor, but seeing him walking and imposing, even Zhao Chengjin stood behind him respectfully, and he could guess that this person was high and powerful, so they all held their breath and concentrated, only one or two workers with light grades did not have such great eyesight, and when they saw Xu Yu entering the courtyard, they immediately shouted at the top of their voices, "Miss Meng, you are here!" Come and help me see what's wrong with this tea, I always feel that something is not quite right. ”

Xu You was called out by him unexpectedly, gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but it was not good to hide anymore, so he had to walk out hard, paced slowly in front of the young worker in front of everyone, reached out and fished out a handful of tea leaves in the pot, put it under his nose and smelled it, his brows suddenly wrinkled, "The temperature of the pot is low, and the fire will burn bigger." ”

The worker in charge of the fire hurriedly stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, but Xu You still shook his head, frowned and said to the young worker: "This pot of tea will be released in a while, and the tea will be green when it is fried, and it will be demoted to the second class." ”

The workers immediately responded, and Shen Rong also came over to take a closer look, and sniffed it like Xu You, "It turns out that this is Qingqi, when I fried tea yesterday, there was a big fire in a pot, and the tea was fried, and I smelled a faint burnt fragrance, which is just the opposite of this." ”

Seeing that the two of them were engaged, the emperor couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look, sniffed the smell, and said, "I didn't smell anything strange." ”

Zhao Chengjin explained with a smile: "At first, no one could ask, but as soon as the tea was brewed, it was obvious to drink. In the future, if it is sold like first-class tea, there will be objections from customers. You can't fold your own sign for this little money. "In fact, it is Xu You's opinion to sell the tea at different times and grades, Zhao Chengjin originally wanted to let her show her face in front of the emperor, but at this time, he didn't have any thoughts, he just wanted to hide Xu You.

The emperor glanced at him with half-squinted eyes, smiled slightly, nodded and praised, "Brother Shun is thoughtful", and then continued to look down.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at it for a while, and suddenly had a whim, wanting to fry a pot of tea by himself, Zhao Chengjin was stunned at first, and then hurriedly stopped: "Uncle think twice, this is ...... It's really inappropriate. "The temperature in this pot is not a joke, these workers in the yard, when they just started to learn to fry tea, who is not hot and full of blood, although the emperor is not as delicate as the little girl's skin, but in the end he is also raised in brocade clothes and jade food, there is not even a callus on his hands, if he really enters the pot, I am afraid that he will be burned in a blink of an eye, and it will be difficult to explain when the time comes.

But His Majesty the Emperor's character, can he hear the advice of others? He even pointed at Xu You and said: "This little girl can be fried, why am I not even as good as such a little girl?" ”

He said so, who else would dare to talk more?

Zhao Chengjin had no choice but to let Shen Rong pick a steady worker to demonstrate to His Majesty the Emperor, and he asked his subordinates to find a scald plaster to wait aside. Speaking of which, although His Majesty the Emperor was a little self-conscious, he was still very careful when he really did it, until a pot of tea was fried, and his hands were only slightly red.

Eunuch Liu immediately stepped forward to take a sycophant, of course, a eunuch of his level has a very clever ability to speak, although it is a sycophant, but it sounds very sincere, it will not make people feel abrupt at all, but it sounds very comfortable, Xu You can't help but look at him differently.

His Majesty the Emperor was photographed by Eunuch Liu in a good mood, no matter who he talked to, he rarely gave a good face, and even praised Zhao Chengjin in front of everyone.

The emperor's private tour of micro-service was very low-key, and there were not many guards with him, but Zhao Chengjin had a headache, because looking at the emperor's meaning, it seemed that he was planning to rest here for one night. Xu You held his cheeks a little helplessly, and quietly complained to Zhao Chengjin: "You say, how can Your Majesty be like a child now, thinking of one out of another, if something happens in the garden, what can I do?" ”

Zhao Chengjin was also helpless, rubbed his temples, and whispered to her, "Don't go out for the past two days, just stay in the courtyard and let Ah Chu talk to you." When Your Majesty is gone, I will send you back to Beijing. ”

He didn't ask anything else at all, how did you recognize it as Your Majesty and the like, as if all Xu You's performances were taken for granted, Xu You breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and at the same time, he had a wonderful illusion, as if, Zhao Chengjin knew everything.

However, no matter how strictly Zhao Cheng guarded it, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, his little tricks were not enough to see, and when it was time to eat in the evening, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked her again, "What about the little girl of the Meng family, why don't you see anyone?" Didn't you say there was a little brother? Let's all come together. Morning and evening, it's a family, so you don't have to see each other like this. ”

Zhao Cheng smiled stiffly, got up and answered "yes", and then asked the guards to go to the courtyard to ask Xu You.

Although His Majesty the Emperor said "sooner or later it will be a family", but when he thought of His Majesty's sharp eyes, Zhao Chengjin felt all kinds of uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help but think about it, what happened in the palace back then?

Soon, Xu You and Ah Chu entered the hall one after the other, Ah Chu was young in the end, it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, and he honestly lowered his head when he knelt down to ask His Majesty the Emperor for peace, until the emperor let them get up and sit down on the side, he quietly and cautiously glanced at the position of the head, and then, he quietly leaned into Xu You's ear and whispered: "Sister Xiaoxue, it turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is not so terrible." ”

He doesn't have three heads and six arms, he doesn't look fierce, and he smiles, just like the kind and kind uncle of the neighbor's family, speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks quite similar to him.

Xu You didn't have anything to do with this stupid little brother, she wanted to instill in Ah Chu the horror of instilling this big boss, but now this occasion was obviously not very suitable, so she only glanced at him and signaled him to be careful.

However, His Majesty the Emperor obviously refused to let them go so easily, and Xu You had just taken a few sips of soup when he heard him put on an amiable face and began to talk to Ah Chu.

At first, he just asked a few words very casually, what "what books have you read" and "what does the sage mean by this", and then later, the question began to slowly change taste, when Xu You realized it, His Majesty the Emperor had already figured out the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Meng family from Ah Chu's mouth - this is still because Ah Chu is young.

After that, he began to inquire about his past.

“…… Oh, you've been to the capital before? That's when I met Brother Shun? ”

Zhao Chengjin also felt that he should say something, so he got up and responded: "I saw it once, it was in the Lingshan Temple outside the city, but we were still young at that time, I stared at Xiaoxue's toy carriage, and after all the good things were said, I wanted to buy the car, but she still refused." However, when she returned to Yunzhou, she left the carriage with me. Later, the prince's brother also asked people to make an identical one. ”

The emperor was reminded by him like this, and he vaguely had some impressions, at that time, the prince was still very naughty, and he didn't do anything serious all day long, and for a while he was indeed circling around a small carriage, so to speak...... When the emperor thought about it, he felt that he was quite ridiculous, it was just a blind toss.

However, this little girl from the Meng family ...... It's not bad either.

Then the emperor asked about Zhao Chengjin's life in Yunzhou in those years, Zhao Chengjin had already replied that he didn't know how many times, and he had all returned, but His Majesty the Emperor was obviously not satisfied, and asked Xu You and Ah Chu again, and Ah Chu was immediately stupid. He also knew that there were some things to say and some things not to say, but the problem was that he and Zhao Chengjin had not confessed in advance, so how to reply was a difficult problem.

As a result, after only a few words of reply, the emperor found the problem, looked at Xu Yu with a frown, and then looked at Zhao Chengjin, "The little girl was still sick, when did she get sick?" ”

When His Majesty the Emperor was a child, he liked to read all kinds of booklets, and there were all kinds of strange things in the books, including fairies and goblins who turned into people to repay his kindness, and when he was young and ignorant, he also fantasized that he might encounter such interesting things, even if he later knew that it was just a story made up by people, but he still had a longing in his heart, so when he met that strange cat, His Majesty the Emperor has always behaved very calmly, in his opinion, this is not an absurd and ridiculous thing.

"When I was very young," Ah Chu said with a wink, "It's been many years, and at that time, I didn't know how to speak." ”

The emperor counted the time in his heart, but it was not those years, so the mind that had just been extinguished before was ignited again. The past half a year has gone well, and he began to feel bored again, always wanting to get something out, otherwise, he would not have run out of the palace for a tea garden, never expected that when he arrived at the tea garden, there would be more interesting things.

Anyway, Zhao Chengjin's marriage has to be his last nod, and the Queen Mother still has to rely on him to convince him, and now it's nothing to let a few juniors play with him. As soon as he thought of this, the little uneasiness in His Majesty's heart was all gone.

“…… Well, I've been sick for several years, and I really can't see it now. The emperor glanced at Xu Yu deeply, turned around and smiled at the Wei guards: "Old Wei, you say, does this little girl look familiar?" The first time I saw it, I always felt like I had seen it somewhere. Don't you look like the cat that used to run to the study? ”

Wei Guard's face remained unchanged, and he replied "yes" with a calm face, and Ah Chu glanced at Xu You with a little uneasiness, as if His Royal Highness King Qi had said such things before. Why do these strange people always associate Sister Xiaoxue with a cat?

As soon as his face changed, the emperor immediately found out, and then asked him what was wrong with a pleasant face, Ah Chu was also honest, and immediately confessed, and tilted his head and said with a puzzled face: "However, speaking of which, when my sister first woke up, it was really a little strange, she couldn't help but sweep them all to the ground when she saw things on the table, and then my little red beans also ...... like this."

For the first time, Zhao Chengjin really realized Ah Chu's skill in selling sisters, which was simply ...... I want to cry without tears!

The author has something to say: I learned this morning that my colleague who joined the unit with me and had a good relationship was diagnosed with cancer and is now undergoing chemotherapy in Shanghai......

When I practiced singing last week, everyone jokingly asked him to be the lead singer, but I didn't expect it to be like this all of a sudden.
