There is a big house in Fei County, Xinzhou, Tang Dynasty, the house is very large, and it is also very exquisite, everywhere is full of beautiful atmosphere, there is a very inconspicuous thatched house in the garden of this mansion, the appearance looks very ordinary, the simple wooden board is the wall, the gravel is the ground, and the weeds are the top, completely integrated with the surrounding scenery, as if this cottage should exist here, if it is forcibly removed, it will lose a trace of charm.

In the room, there were two elderly people sitting cross-legged, with a stove, a pot and two tea cups in front of them, and nothing else, and the pot was steaming.

An old man smiled: "The water is boiling, you can make tea!" ”

The other old man had a white beard and white eyebrows, and looked at the old man opposite with a curious expression, and found that the other party's techniques were very ordinary, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "It's very ordinary!" ”

The old man who was making tea nodded and said, "I didn't say that there are any techniques and skills for making tea, but you think too much?" ”

"Ugh!" The white-eyed old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "You are playing tricks!" ”

"Definitely!" The old man who made the tea did not argue, he kept in his hands, quickly brewed two cups of tea, handed one of them to the old man with white eyebrows, and said, "Taste it, there is another taste in this?" ”

The white-eyed old man obviously attached great importance to the other party's words, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea tasted in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't speak, he continued to take a sip, and after drinking three sips in a row, he put down the teacup in his hand, his expression was very relaxed, and the smile on his face made people look very natural, but the light in his eyes did not dissipate for a long time.

"This method of drinking tea is the first time to taste it, and when you went to me half a year ago, you probably didn't learn it yet, right? If I'm not mistaken, it should have been brought back from your trip to Yangzhou this time? ”

The old man who made tea just now was Zhen Qian's grandfather Wang Bo, who had just returned to Fei County half a month ago, and learned this very simple way of drinking tea from Zhen Qian?

"The patriarch is right, this is indeed a new way of drinking tea that I just brought back from Yangzhou, what do you think?"

Sitting opposite Wang Bo is the current patriarch of the Langya Wang family, named Wang Heng, who is already sixty and four this year, he is extremely low-key, and rarely appears in front of people, even if the grandchildren of the Wang family want to see him, it is not easy.

"The entrance is bitter but the aftertaste is endless, and it seems to be an extremely ordinary tea, there must be a lot of knowledge in it, right?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "The patriarch is worthy of being a knowledgeable person of the Wang family, but he can see the mystery from this little clue?" I think that Zhen Qian's kid is still playing tricks, and he still refuses to leak his secrets, he really underestimates the world? ”

"Oh! This tea art was created by Zhen Qian's kid, tell me about it? ”

Wang Heng obviously also knew Zhen Qian's person, and his snow-white eyebrows raised lightly: "If I remember correctly, it seems that you married the third mother of the fifth room, Yingying, to Zhen Qian, but Yingying's mother is very unhappy, tell me what do you think?" ”

Wang Bo frowned, Wang Heng didn't stay at home in the past few years, but went out to visit a few old friends, I don't know how that matter was discussed? At the moment, he said what he met Zhen Qian in Yangzhou, "The Zhen family in Hengzhou has been in great decay over the years, except for a Zhen Ji in the third room, there are no more outstanding characters, I thought that the Zhen family would collapse in the future, but I didn't expect a Zhen Qian to suddenly appear." The patriarch may not have heard of it in these years, Zhen Qian is not only outstanding in poetry and writing, and has written a few talented poems, but also in the way of businessman, in just over a year, in Zhending, Fanyang, Taiyuan and Yangzhou opened a drunken immortal building, the dishes launched by the restaurant are also different, and even brewed a very unique soju, called drunken immortal brewing, the tea and tea ceremony tasted by the patriarch today are also this Zhen Qian's own originality, do you say it is unexpected? ”

Wang Heng also frowned and said: "Just now you said that Zhen Qian was appointed as the deputy envoy to send Tang and returned to China with the envoy to send Tang, but you saw this with your own eyes?" ”

Wang Bo was stunned by Wang Heng's words, and didn't understand why Wang Heng suddenly asked this question, so he immediately told Zhen Qian's envoy to the country in detail, "What's wrong with the patriarch?" ”

The light in Wang Heng's eyes flashed and said, "You are confused!" A few days ago, when I was in Qizhou, I heard people say that the envoy to the Tang Dynasty seemed to have encountered a storm on the way back to China, not only the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, but also the maritime merchants who followed the envoy to the Japanese country were buried in the sea. ”

"What? encountered wind and waves, and all of them were buried at the bottom of the sea? ”

Wang Bo couldn't calm down anymore, this news was too shocking, and continued to ask: "Patriarch, where did you hear about this matter, why didn't I hear it when I was in Yangzhou?" ”

"It's not surprising that you haven't heard of this matter, because this matter has not been finally confirmed, but someone rescued a person in the sea of Mizhou, and I heard that person said that he was a maritime merchant who returned to China with the Tang envoy this time, and encountered a big storm on the way, and saw with his own eyes that all the ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the man was holding a plank and was rescued by a fisherman for three days, if it was a little later, he would not be saved!"

Wang Heng said worriedly: "Before this matter spreads, Yingying's marriage will be stopped, you will personally talk to the Zhen family, and say that the Wang family does not agree to this marriage, even if the Wang family loses a little money, it doesn't matter?" ”

Wang Bo's eyes rolled around, and after a while, he said slowly: "Patriarch, you said that if you use Yingying's life to exchange 100,000 yuan for the Wang family, as well as Zhen Qian's industries, can this business be done?" ”

"100,000! Zhen Qian's family property? Wang Heng also gasped, 100,000 guan is not a small amount, the Wang family has a big business, but it is not easy to take out 100,000 guan at once, having a family property of 1 million guan and taking out 100,000 guan cash are two completely different concepts, besides, Wang Heng also heard Wang Bo talk about Zhen Qian's industries just now, and there are also tens of thousands of guan together.

"The happiness of Yingying's life is compared with 100,000 guan?" Wang Heng's eyes lit up, 100,000 guan plus tens of thousands of guan of industry, sacrificing a Wang family's daughter is too worthwhile, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, "After the Zhen family knows about this, won't they compete for Zhen Qian's family property?" ”。

Wang Bohaha laughed and said: "The patriarch doesn't know, Zhen Qian's industries are not the only ones in our Wang family's eyes now, just half a month ago, An Lushan of Fanyang didn't know where to get the news, and found our Wang family, hoping that our Wang family would give up the marriage with Zhen Qian, does the patriarch know what An Lushan wants?" ”

Wang Heng shook his head and said that he didn't know, Wang Heng's eyes flashed with greed and said: "An Lushan has taken a fancy to the brewing method in Zhen Qian's hands, and is willing to buy the brewing secret method from our Wang family with 50,000 yuan, patriarch, can our Wang family withdraw this marriage now?" ”
