Chapter 18 The opening of the teahouse

Tonggu flushed his face, and replied with an embarrassed expression: "I really haven't heard of it." In the memory of the original owner, the biological mother has always been on the sickbed, and the original owner is already anxious to take care of his mother and manage the courtyard every day, and he is not in the mood to attend the banquet and watch the performance. And Tonggu has never experienced this dynasty at all, nor has he seen this kind of performance form with strong customs, and the only thing that can make Tonggu feel a little similar is the dancing god.

Huaxi realized that what she said was wrong and hurriedly went back. "The girl is an official lady, and she is raised in the deep boudoir, and it is normal that she has not heard of these unpopular things. This play is called a mold play, which is to perform some stories in the play book with limbs, recitation and singing. These are all clichΓ©s, and recently the slave maid is also trying to find some new playbooks. ”

Tonggu's big red eyes flickered, and an idea flooded into his mind. "I can write a notebook, how about I write you a few copies?"

Although Huaxi has some doubts about her girl's ability to write a playbook, she can't refuse, and it's a big deal not to act in the end. "That's great, the girl writes more. The girl can rest assured, the famous singers in the teahouse are all dead deeds, they can only play here, and no one else can steal the lady's playbook. ”

Tonggu touched his chin and said, "I have some good tea in my hand, you can't buy it." I'll let the spirit ruins send it to you later, and you can tidy it up. ”

Huaxi asked suspiciously, "Where did you buy the tea in the girl's hand?" The two sisters almost recognize the tea merchant in this place, so how could they not buy it? ”

Tonggu said with a smile: "You really can't buy it, it's a treasure in my collection, you will know if you bring it." By the way, when will the teahouse officially open? ”

"Back to the girl, it will officially open in five days, and the plaques have been hung, I wonder if the girl may come to cut the ribbon at that time?" Hua Xi replied with a stern face.

"It's not convenient for me to come forward to cut the ribbon, but I will be there in five days." Tonggu dragged his chin a little frustrated, after all, the teahouse was his first career after coming here, and it was a pity that he couldn't cut the ribbon. But the Zhao family at home is eyeing each other, looking for their own mistakes at any time, but as the daughter of the Lei family, she really shouldn't show her face, and when she is full-fledged in the future, she doesn't have to worry about these anymore, and now she is more peaceful.

After leaving the teahouse, Tonggu returned to his courtyard from the small door, and left himself in the bedroom after opening the subordinates. Tonggu took out the tea in the old nest one by one, there were many varieties, and after a while, the room was filled with tea. Tonggu thought about it and changed his original plan and decided to let Huaxi come to the house to fetch tea.

When Huaxi heard that Lingxu said that she wanted to hire three carriages, she was curious, thinking that it was just the girl's family secretly hiding some tea to drink and play, but she didn't expect that there would be such a large amount. Although he was mentally prepared when he entered, Huaxi was still surprised to see all kinds of tea leaves piled up in the room.

Huaxi opened her mouth wide, stared at her round eyes and said, "Girl, these won't be all of these, right?" ”

Tonggu nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, I was worried that you wouldn't know you when the spirit ruins sent you, so I called you here." ”

Huaxi picked up some tea leaves, smelled them, and put them in her mouth to taste them. In an instant, the surprise on his face was a little more. "Girl, what kind of tea is this? I didn't expect this kind of black tea to have such an aroma, and the slave maid was really the first tea tongue in vain, and she couldn't say it at all. The maid, the frog at the bottom of the well, only knew that the White Dragon Regiment was the best in the world, and she didn't think that there were so many tea products in the world that slaves and maids had never seen. ”

Tonggu picked up the tea caddy and glanced at it and said, "This is Jin Junmei, this tea is fragrant, sweet in taste, and less bitter." Tonggu smiled secretly in his heart, this Jin Junmei is a modern craft that only exists in the past five years, and the ancients must have never drunk it.

Huaxi fell to the ground with a plop, looked at Tonggu with teary eyes and said: "The slave is really the stupidest person in the world, I used to think that the girl didn't understand tea to find the slave sister, and after a long time, the person who knows the most about tea in the world is the girl herself." ”

Tonggu pulled up Huaxi and said, "Okay, don't be emotional, I'll tell you everything I know, okay?" ”

Huaxi's eyes lit up, her eyes were full of starlight, and she looked at Tonggu expectantly and said, "Is the girl serious?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously, you go and get paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and write down what should be remembered." Tongya commanded.

Huaxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and hurriedly went to Lingxu to ask for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Tonggu and Huaxi were busy together until the second day when the sky was hazy and bright, and Huaxi finally loaded three carts of tea and returned to the teahouse, but he didn't have time to sleep, so he directly called Huajie up and tally the goods into storage.

Tonggu made up for a beauty sleep during the day, and it was already afternoon when he got up. lazily began to compile the script on the bookcase, and finally arranged all the stories of Wu Song fighting the tiger, Grandma Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, Taoyuan's three knots, and painting skin. When I wrote that at night, I found a familiar figure sneaking into the house.

"Childish, why are you here?" Tsuya asked, pretending to be nonchalant.

Shang Yishe picked up the notebook on the table and glanced at it, and said excitedly: "What is this stinky girl?" How come I've never seen this before? Did you write it? ”

Tonggu grabbed the notebook and said, "That's what I wrote, my teahouse will open in four days to welcome customers." The stage and the celebrities in the building are all there, so I am short of interesting scripts, so I went into battle myself. ”

Shang Yishe touched Tonggu's little nose and said, "It's worthy of the girl I fancied, it's really talented." ”

Tonggu said with a disdainful face: "Okay, don't be poor, I'm tired today, I have to rest early, and I have to go to the teahouse to watch the ceremony in four days." ”

Shang Yishe looked at Tonggu with eyes that looked like a pool of clear water, and said curtly: "Then I will also go to the theater, and by the way, I will give you some opening gifts." ”

Tonggu lay on the bed with his back to Shang Yishe, and did not answer Shang Yishe's words, and Shang Yishe had to leave stupidly.

The next day, Tonggu asked Lingxu to send the written book to Huaxi. Huaxi was taken aback after seeing it, at this time Huaxi was even more convinced that she was a frog at the bottom of the well, and the fact that the third girl was a strange girl in the world, now Huaxi's belief in her own girl has become worship, and even if the girl can go to heaven and earth in the future, she will no longer have any doubts.

After Huaxi got the script, she didn't delay, and let the celebrities rehearse overnight. The celebrities got the new script and it was also fresh, and they were not tired of rehearsing the drama all night.

On the day of the opening of the teahouse, Tonggu got up early in the morning, let Zhutao and Zhuqing paint themselves a delicate makeup, and wore a red Luo skirt, the whole person looked bright and moving, smart and elegant. The opening of the teahouse caused a sensation in the whole city, and the streets at the entrance were flooded in the morning, and people had to walk to it. Tonggu asked Lingxu as he walked, "Where are so many people?" Why is this Huaxi so capable? How can you make such a big noise? ”

Lingxu shook his head and said, "I guess it's not Huaxi, could it be Lord Situ?" ”

The two continued to walk forward with doubts, and suddenly a figure flashed in front of them. "Stinky girl, you're finally here. Do you think this scene is sensational enough? The Seventh Prince invited all his royal brothers. ”

Tonggu laughed and scolded, "You childish ghost, big skin monkey. Let's hurry up, we don't have time to talk to you. ”

The three of them finally squeezed into the teahouse, only to see a clip of Wu Song fighting a tiger on the stage. Suddenly, an attendant stepped forward and said, "Girl, my lord, the prince is invited." ”

Tonggu looked at Shang Yishe with a puzzled face, and Shang Yishe took Tonggu upstairs and said: "The crown prince is the third prince, it was born by the late Concubine Chen, and the emperor Aiwu and Wu have made the three princes the crown prince since childhood. If I guess correctly, the fourth prince and the sixth prince should also be there, because these two princes are also from Concubine Chen, and the relationship between the three brothers is extremely good. ”

Shang Yishe pushed open the door and saw four princes sitting in the private room, and Shang Yishe greeted them in turn.

The first person on the left is the fifth prince, who is very different from the other three in appearance. In his twenties, he was dressed in a blue lotus-colored straight-placked robe, with silver threads rolling on the neckline and cuffs, his black hair was tied up and he was wearing a small silver crown, his face was gentle and elegant, and a humble and gentlemanly temperament exuded.

Sitting in the second place is the fourth prince, tall and well-proportioned, dressed in a violet Shu brocade forging placket robe, with a wide-brimmed brocade belt around the waist, and all kinds of pendants hung on the brocade belt, although it is messy, it can also be seen that it is worth a lot.

Sitting in the middle was the third prince, the oldest of whom looked to be less than thirty, dressed in a goose-yellow robe and covered with a silk-faced ivory-white jacket. A sheep fat jade belt around the waist echoes the hosta hairpin, and the feet are on white deerskin boots, and the boots are inlaid with jade. A pair of peach blossom eyes are exactly the same as the four princes and the six princes, and you can see at a glance that they are three brothers.

The one on the far right is the sixth prince, no more than twenty years old, dressed in white, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaves. He is full of books, and it is better to say that he is a prince than a scholar.

"You wrote this story?" The sixth prince asked with Wu Song's book of fighting tigers in his hand.

Tong Gu took the script, looked at the six princes with big ruby eyes, smiled elegantly and said, "I wrote it, isn't it interesting?" ”

The sixth prince was stunned at first, he had never seen a woman who answered like this, and ordinary people saw the prince with trembling clothes and groveling looks. "The script is interesting, and the people are interesting, but there are other scripts?"

"There are some, and some have not been written, if the six princes like it, I will copy a copy and give it to you." Tonggu did not twist and replied naturally.

The sixth prince's peach blossom eyes were full of joy, "Okay, we'll make a decision." ”

The prince also felt interesting when he heard this conversation, and interjected: "Don't stand, we are on a visit today, no matter how high or low your status is, come and sit." ”

The sixth prince returned to his seat, and Shang Yishe also took Tonggu to sit down. The prince continued: "It was Lao Qi who brought us here today, but Lao Qi was called back by his father as soon as he came out. I left a few of our brothers here, but fortunately, I stayed to drink such a special tea and see such a different scene. ”

"Yes, yes, what kind of tea are these? Where did you buy it? The fourth prince asked curiously.

"There are Jin Junmei, Lao Banzhang, Tieguanyin and melon slice tea." Tongya pointed to the tea bowl and introduced, "But I'm afraid these teas can't be bought in the market." ”

The fourth prince's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The girl has a way to get a steady stream of goods?" ”

Shang Yishe suddenly laughed and said, "Fourth Prince, have you done all this business?" Shang Yishe turned his head to Tonggu and said, "You don't know, this fourth prince is a businessman, and his business has gone all over the country." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tonggu also became interested and said, "The fourth prince wants to invest in the teahouse?" ”

The fourth prince shook his head and smiled: "This small teahouse can't satisfy the appetite of this palace. ”
