85_85563The only few tables of guests on the loose seats, at the beginning, were still chatting with each other, I don't know when it began, the teahouse became silent, and even the little two who ran the hall stood at the staircase with a heavy kettle, and they could hear it.

Tian Zhenyu spoke for more than half an hour, and finally said: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown!" He hugged his fists, turned his head and left.

Thanks to his speed, all the guests at the café stood up and shouted, "Hey, storyteller, don't go!" I'm listening to it! ”

Xiao Er put down the big kettle, rubbed his sore arm and ran to the guest, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, Mr. says once a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and tomorrow he will talk about the second time, and the guest officer will continue to listen!" ”

In the afternoon, these guests came again, and they each brought a few friends, and introduced while letting them take a seat: "The tea here is delicious and doesn't cost money!" The fairy tale told by the storyteller is particularly interesting! ”

Xiao Er poured them tea, "Guest officer, you're here again!" Didn't hear enough in the morning? I'll tell you the truth, we're waiting to hear it a second time. However, only for these three days the tea is free, and in the future, it will cost fifteen copper plates. ”

"Isn't it just the money for a few buns!" The guest waved his hand widely.

When it was Tian Zhenyu's turn to play, he saw that there were more guests than in the morning, and his spirits were lifted and he spoke more and more hard. At the end of the game, it was still a run-and-run.

Xiao Er dragged him at the door and asked, "Sir, no one is chasing you, what are you running!" ”

"Alas, I'm afraid that as soon as the guest calls, I can't help but want to talk about tomorrow!" Dare to love him, he has never talked about it, I'm afraid I can't hold it back!

By the third day, the teahouse was already full of guests, and the tea was free, but some guests also paid extra money to order dried fruits. Eating and listening to books, even if Tian Zhenyu finished speaking, they were still sitting there talking with relish.

On this day, peanuts and melon seeds alone were sold for seven or eight taels of silver, which was the largest income since the opening of the teahouse.

Xia Qingyun specially instructed Zhou to go to the pharmacy to buy some Luo Han Guo and give it to Tian Zhenyu to soak in water to drink, worried that he would make his voice hoarse.

Day 4. The free wooden sign was removed from the entrance of the teahouse. Put on a new sign that reads "Journey to the West, a fairy story, one of the fifteen essays!" ”

When the door was first opened. The little two pounded their legs and discussed, today they will start to charge, there must not be so many guests, and they can be leisurely. My legs have been running thin for the past two days!

Who would have thought that the guests would still flock to it. Some old customers drank jasmine tea for a few days and wanted to change the taste, so they ordered other teas on the water card, and the turnover of the day went down. Broke through twenty taels of silver!

The teahouse is very popular, and Xia Qingyun ordered the kitchen to add some new refreshments, and the business is booming!

It's the day of Qingming Festival. On the left bank, which was the most lively in previous years, the number of people who went out of the city was reduced by 30%. The Qingyunxuan teahouse on the right bank is surrounded by a sea of people.

Many people who came to listen to the book as usual found that the door of the teahouse was posted with a notice of "Qingming 100 Poetry Club, the book field will be suspended in the morning", although they were a little dissatisfied, but the people in Yuzhou City admired the style of literature, and when they heard that there was a poetry club, they also stayed and watched.

The 300 literati and scholars elected by the academy and the painting academy splashed ink and wrote their own literary talents, and one by one the works were taken out for public display, and the cheers were one after another, and bursts of applause rang out from time to time.

A jury composed of deacons selected 30 finalists, and selected the top three, who wore red and hung colors in public, holding their respective prizes and silver taels of white flowers.

Those who were not shortlisted also got a small gift from Qingyunxuan, a jasmine silver needle produced by Qingyun Tea House! Their works were also asked for price by onlookers, and they were bought home to decorate the hall.

Xia Qingyun invited the deacons and thirty literati to the upstairs seat, presented them with the best Bitan Drifting Snow and White Peony for them to taste, and asked them to inscribe the private room, and announced that in the future, all the students of Yuzhou City Academy and Painting Academy will enter Beijing to take the exam, Qingyunxuan will sponsor one hundred taels of silver, and if any academy has a gold list title, it will also sponsor a thousand taels of silver in the academy!

This time, the literati and scholars were extremely sensational! Although these people read poetry and books, they did not have much money in their pockets, and many of them had to borrow money in order to enter Beijing to catch the exam, so that the names of Qingyunxuan and Xia Qingyun spread throughout the literati circle of Yuzhou City.

Many wealthy businessmen in Yuzhou City who like to be vassals and elegant, learned that Qingyunxuan had well-known literati Mobao, and they came to seek each other with a lot of money. Xia Qingyun gave all the money sold to the author, and her move won the praise of the literati, saying that she was a 'elegant businessman' with high moral character, and Qingyunxuan also became a 'treasure land' in the eyes of literati and artists, and gathered here every three or five times.

Of course, Xia Qingyun will not do a loss-making business, she took the opportunity to launch a VIP card, red sandalwood zuò into a small wooden card, carved on the front in the shape of a tea tree leaf, and carved on the reverse with numbers and secret charges. VIP card 500 taels of silver, with this card in Qingyunxuan consumption can be 20% discount!

The deacons of the academy and the painting academy each gave one each, and others had to pay for the silver if they wanted it! Although the price is not expensive, but the businessmen and wealthy people are proud to have a VIP card of Qingyunxuan, a few days of hard work, the VIP card alone has sold more than 100 pieces, and the income is more than 50,000 taels of silver!

Jiang helped take care of the business of the teahouse these days, ushered in the delivery, spoke and acted very decently, and remembered the accounts clearly, Xia Qingyun asked her to serve as the shopkeeper of Qingyunxuan. That Jiang looked weak, he was capable in his bones, and he was not hypocritical, so he gladly accepted it.

Chu Qi helps the Jiang family take care of the teahouse every day, he already likes to read, and now he has the opportunity to often contact the top literati in Yuzhou City, and his temperament has become more and more elegant.

Chu You also came to the teahouse from time to time to perform tea art for the guests in the private room, she after a period of exercise in the tea house and Xia Qingyun's personal teaching, her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, and she spoke clearly and elegantly about the tea ceremony, which was quite praised by the guests.

Tian Zhenyu is still happy to talk about Journey to the West on the first floor, and someone even gave him the reputation of "the first book in Yuzhou".

A stone in Xia Qingyun's heart finally fell to the ground, and she wrote to Hua Jingtian and Yao Xili, informing them that they could start preparing the tea house and tea house in Zhili, and send the decoration drawings here together, so that they could decorate according to a unified format.

Except for the person Si Hong Bowen was looking for, the business in Yuzhou City can be said to be on the right track, and after more than three months, Xia Qingyun can finally take a break and go home to have a look.

Before leaving, she instructed the Zhou family to set up a luncheon in the house and invited the Tian family to have a celebration banquet together.

Hearing that she was going back to her hometown, Tian Chuyou was the most reluctant. She has regarded Xia Qingyun as her best friend and mentor these days.

"Sister Qingyun, you have to come back early! If you don't just take your uncle and aunt to Yuzhou, you will be saved from running back later. ”

Jiang smiled: "Say something childish!" If Miss doesn't go back, what will happen to Qingyun Tea Garden? If the production of tea gardens is reduced, how can our tea estates and tea houses continue. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that I can't become two people, otherwise I really want to follow Sister Qingyun to see those magical tea trees and see how the tea is made." Chu You said fascinatedly.

Xia Qingyun smiled: "Don't worry, one day I will take you to the tea garden." Okay, this is a celebration banquet and not a farewell banquet, if there is no effort from your family, how can the business of the tea house and the tea house be so prosperous, come, replace the wine with tea, and toast everyone! ”

Everyone raised their glasses and said some auspicious words, and was about to clink glasses, when Hua Fu ran in from outside, panting and shouting: "The owner, the teahouse, the teahouse has been sealed by the government!" ”

"What!" The quilt in Jiang's hand fell on the table with a thud, "Sealed?" Why did the government seal our teahouse? ”

"I don't know what's going on. Just now, a team of officials broke into the teahouse, drove away the guests without saying a word, put a seal on the door, and said that they would arrest the owner and go to the yamen! ”

Tian Zhenyu and the others looked shocked and looked at Xia Qingyun together.

Xia Qingyun frowned, put down the cup, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "You stay here, Huafu will go to the teahouse with me." ”

"No, what if the officials arrest someone!" Jiang's face turned pale.

"Let's do business honestly, what reason do they have to arrest me for no reason?" Xia Qingyun smiled slightly and walked towards the door.

The Tian family looked at each other and chased them out together.

There were many people in front of the teahouse, pointing and discussing. A team of officials stood in a row at the door with knives in their hands, and the juniors were also driven out, squatting aside with sad faces.

"I am the owner of Qingyunxuan, dare to ask the official, why did you seal the teahouse?" Xia Qingyun walked closer and asked without humility or arrogance.

The official at the head looked her up and down, and waved his hand behind him, "Someone, take it away!" ”

"Wait!" Xia Qingyun shouted, "The government can't just arrest people!" Gotta give a reason! ”

"Reason? When you get to the lobby, you know! Without saying a word, the officials tied the iron rope to Xia Qingyun's wrist and pulled him away.

Tian Zhenyu wanted to step forward to argue, but Xia Qingyun shook his head to prevent them from speaking, and gave Hua Fu another look.

Hua Fu squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared into the street with a puff of smoke.

In the yamen, the prefect of Yuzhou, Kong Xiaoqing, was seated, and beside him stood the master Duan Bukang.

The official pushed Xia Qingyun's back and shouted: "When you see the prefect, you don't kneel and kowtow!" ”

Xia Qingyun has never been forced to kneel in his two lives, and he feels very humiliated. She lifted her chin slightly, staring fearlessly at the high prefect.

The officials on both sides beat the water and fire sticks in their hands on the ground, and lowered their voices to shout. If this formation is changed to a timid one, the legs will tremble involuntarily.

Master Duan Bukang frowned, and a servant came up next to him, raised the water and fire stick and aimed it at Xia Qingyun's leg and hit it.

Where could Xia Qingyun stand it, his legs ached, and he knelt down in the hall. Rao is like this, her body is upright, and she will never kowtow to the people in the hall.

The prefect Kong Xiaoqing was shocked, "Who is in the hall, are you guilty?" ”

When Xia Qingyun heard this, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Lord Prefect, since you have arrested me, you still don't know who I am?" What is the sin of the people's daughter? ”

Unexpectedly, above the court, she didn't give face to the prefect at all, and the master Duan Bukang said angrily: "Be bold and make a fool of the people!" If you don't admit your guilt honestly, let you taste the power of killing! (To be continued).
