Dong Ce saw Cao An's thoughts, smiled faintly, and slightly turned sideways to greet a servant of the Cao family: "Help me call my entourage, oh also, remember to let him bring tea." ”

When the servant heard this, he retreated, and Dong Ce turned to the Cao family again, and said, "Although the business I am going to do is focused on tea, it is far from making tea money!" ”

Hearing Dong Ce's words, everyone in the Cao family was a little confused.

"Virtuous nephew, do you mean that in addition to selling tea, you are also going to sell other things?" Cao An frowned.

"Well, in addition to tea, there is also a novel tea set." Dong Ce nodded.

"Tea set! I don't know if it's a virtuous nephew, porcelain is a bear in a prosperous era and a dog in troubled times! Cao An was a little worried, after all, the current situation in Jiangnan is really not suitable for Dong Ce to enter this industry, after all, rich people are not bad tea sets, and he doesn't need to be rich if he doesn't have money.

Dong Ce didn't care and said: "That industry is not like this, besides, the pot of boiling water in Jiangnan is about to get cold, and all industries will naturally recover at that time, isn't it better for me to be preconceived than to stick in the way!" ”

Hearing Dong Ce's words, the Cao family was surprised, and Cao Luorong didn't care about the small grievances between her and Dong Ce, and asked directly: "How can you be so sure that the troubled times in Jiangnan will soon subside?" ”

"This ......" Dong Ce smiled faintly and said, "Guess!" ”

Cao Luorong suddenly learned from Dong Ce and returned him with an elegant white eye.

"It's just a guess, you're going to make a big move, nephew, it's a bit presumptuous!" Cao An was even more worried.

Dong Ce was about to speak, when he suddenly found that Liu Fu was hunched over, holding a large wooden box in one hand and a hot water kettle in the other.

Dong Ce retracted his gaze, looked at Cao An and said, "I'll mention this matter later, let my uncle try a new way of drinking tea first!" ”

When Cao An heard this, he and his family couldn't help but look at Liu Fu curiously, and Liu Fu first saluted everyone in the Cao family, and then put the big wooden box in his arms on the desk in front of Dong Ce, and took out the same utensils in the box very skillfully.

Everyone in the Cao family was very curious, and they collectively got up and gathered around, and found that the box brought by Liu Fu was a grid with a square frame, and a small porcelain cup and teapot were placed in each frame.

When Liu Fu took out the cup and teapot, he took out the grid again, and finally took out a black wooden plate two feet long and one foot wide from the bottom of the box, everyone in the Cao family was shocked again, because this piece of black wood carved a very exquisite bamboo forest, the roots of the bamboo and the bamboo leaves are concave and convex, as if swinging with the wind, lifelike!

"This ...... Whose hand is this? It can be carved into such an ingenious portrayal! Cao An exclaimed.

Dong Ce smiled faintly and said, "Since I am the one who carved the seal for Uncle Cao!" ”

Cao An was stunned when he heard this, then pointed at Dong Ce and shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to ridicule Dong Ce's fake modesty, when he suddenly heard his daughter on the side shouting: "Dad, which master is the person who helped you carve the seal?" ”

Although Cao Luorong was expressionless, but there were ripples in her eyes, from the beginning of seeing this portrayal, she did not leave the slightest bit of her gaze, feeling that although this portrayal is missing an ancient rhyme, it is like a real thing, standing in front of her alive, she can't help but use the word master, it is too beautiful, if these people are not masters, I am afraid that the royal carpenter will be embarrassed!

Cao An was stunned for a moment, glanced at Dong Ce, but saw that Dong Ce didn't pay attention to him at all, picked up a bamboo tube by himself, scooped some shriveled small leaves with a small wooden spoon and poured them into the teapot, Cao An retracted his gaze, and said to his daughter with a light smile: "Why do you want to know who they are?" What do you want to do when you know it? ”

"My daughter naturally wants to get acquainted with such a master, and if she can, she wants to ask him to help me carve a few screens."

As soon as Cao Luorong said this, Cao An immediately glanced at Dong Ce secretly, just to find that this kid was so frightened that his hands were shaking, and he almost poured hot water out of the teapot.

Dong Ce was really taken aback, you know, just this small tea tray, he spent half a year, what kind of screen is it, one is worth four or five tea trays!

"That person is in Jinling Mansion, you want to know, can you go back with Dong Ce! Let him introduce you. As soon as Cao An's words came out, Mrs. Cao immediately answered: "It's best not to come back as soon as you go!" ”

Cao Luorong couldn't hear the meaning of these words, and said with a faint smile: "Then it is also necessary for people to marry their daughters!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Dong Ce, but saw that Dong Ce didn't pay attention to her at all, and was shaking the teapot with a calm and relaxed look, and couldn't help but smile even more, but suddenly saw Dong Ce's servant holding a cup and putting it on the bamboo forest, and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, what are you doing?" It's a pity if you get it spent. ”

Liu Fu was so frightened by Cao Luorong's coquettish voice that his little hands trembled, and a cup fell directly out of his hand and smashed on the carving, which made Cao Luorong feel distressed, turned his head and looked at Dong Ce coldly: "Look at who you are receiving, how will you serve me in the future?" ”

"Young boy!" Liu Fu looked at Dong Ce pitifully.

"You don't know what kind of virtue she has, so don't care what she does, do things." Dong Ce didn't have a good airway.

"Yes!" Liu Fu didn't dare to look at Cao Luorong, and honestly lowered his head to work.

And Cao Luorong He Cheng was ignored like this, and Dong Ce seemed to be overpowering her from the beginning, which made her already cool heart angry, and she was ready to say what about this pair of masters and servants, but on the side, the old lady Cao suddenly shouted: "The thing belongs to Ce'er, you are not Ce'er now, why are you in charge of other people's affairs!" ”

"It's not that I don't marry, it's that people don't want to marry me, a beautiful girl!" Cao Luorong actually stuck out her tongue and made a cute look, but in fact, she was almost speechless in her heart, she didn't seem to say that she wouldn't marry, but why did the spearhead point at her?

Dong Ce is really speechless, this old lady really doesn't know what she thinks, her granddaughter has been said like this by me, you are actually even happier, the eyes that looked at me were like saying, the old grandson-in-law is none other than you!

Ignoring the pair of mothers-in-law and grandsons, Dong Ce poured the tea from the teapot in his hand into the small cup of the tea tray one by one, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing, but before the Cao family could smell enough, he saw that Dong Ce actually poured the tea in the cup directly into the tea tray, and everyone in the Cao family secretly said that it was a pity.

However, the tea did not stay in the tea tray, but slowly left into a small hole along the gap between the bamboo cracks, and then a small hole flowed out, and flowed into the wooden barrel placed under the desk along a thin bamboo tube.

Only then did everyone understand the purpose of the tea tray, but they didn't ask again, but quietly watched Dong Ce's movements.

Dong Ce poured another cup of tea, handed it to Cao An and said with a smile: "This is the new tea I am developing now, how about Uncle Cao try it!" ”

Cao An saw Dong Ce's series of movements like flowing water, he was already very curious, at this time, Wen Yan quickly knelt down, took the teacup, glanced at the clear and turquoise tea inside, smelled the fragrant fragrance, couldn't help nodding, took a sip in front of his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he didn't say a word and directly took a sip of the rest of the tea, and finally in the curious eyes of the Cao family, he said excitedly to Dong Ce: "Good tea!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Dong Ce didn't say anything, and Cao Luorong on the other side couldn't help asking, "How good is it?" ”

Cao An smiled when he heard this: "Elegant, sweet, and endless!" ”

Cao Luorong was speechless for a moment, then looked directly at Dong Ce and said, "Hey, give me a cup to taste." ”

"How do you speak, there are no rules." Old Madam Cao suddenly snorted coldly, so frightened that Cao Luorong stuck out her tongue, looking naughty and cute, but unfortunately, no matter how Dong Ce looked, he felt that this girl was not cleaned up.

Dong Ce skillfully poured two cups of tea and handed them to the old lady and Mrs. Cao respectively, as for Cao Luorong, he directly ignored it, not that he was stingy, but he really didn't want to waste it, this guy is your mother if he has wine, and if she gives it to drink, it will be pure waste.

After the old lady and Mrs. Cao drank tea, they were both as amazed by this tea as Cao An.

And Cao Luorong, seeing that Dong Ce didn't pour it for himself, her slightly fiery heart became even hotter!

"Hey, and me." Cao Luorong was dissatisfied.

"You don't have enough wine!" Dong Cecai didn't bother to pay attention to this girl, and explained to everyone: "This tea is called Yuhua, produced in Jinling Shizigang, my Dong family happens to have a tea garden there, and it is now the last foundation of the Dong family, but the planting of this tea is just beginning, at present it is still a new tea, I tried several ways can not improve the taste of this tea, but fortunately got a master to point out, fried in a special way, novel tea sets, only to appear this way of tea tasting that everyone has seen!" ”

"I see, no wonder it tastes so good!" Cao An said, and said to Dong Ce: "Although I don't know if the tea set of the virtuous nephew can sell well, as far as this tea is concerned, it can definitely be a big seller!" ”

"It's such a hassle to drink a cup of tea, it's a waste of time." Although Cao Luorong said this, she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup, and then drank it all, and suddenly, the lazy phoenix eyes flashed, but they passed away quickly!

"Yes, not everyone has this leisure, but drinking tea can also be secondary, you can watch a play while drinking tea, you can talk about world affairs with friends in a quiet house, talk about your heart, and for us businessmen, it is natural to talk about business!"

The reason why Dong Ce showed off the new tea and tea set is nothing more than to pull business, although Cao An is not a businessman, but who said that if you are not a businessman, you can't talk about business? He is a Confucian scholar, and he has too many opportunities to contact the scholars, if he can spread the way of tea tasting, will he still have no business at that time!

Cao Luorong moved to Cao An's side like a little crab, and her little face approached Cao An and said in a very strange tone: "Dad, everyone has abandoned your daughter, but you still want to sit back and enjoy it, and kill him beautifully, our Cao family can't get this stinking copper smell!" ”

"Don't mess around!" Cao An scolded, and then smiled at Dong Ce: "Virtuous nephew, if I can help you, my uncle will never say anything!" ”

"Thank you Uncle Cao so much, my little nephew doesn't have anything to honor you now, you can keep this set of tea sets, and this bucket of tea can be brewed more than 20 pots, you can keep it." Dong Ce said very generously.

"How can I accept such a big gift." Cao An immediately refused, but he was also a little reluctant in his heart, after all, whether it was the beauty of the tea set, or the fragrance and taste of Yuhua tea, he loved it very much.

"Family, what are you polite to him?" On the side, Cao Luorong jumped into a family and jumped directly!

There's no way, she also likes the tea tray very much, and she can't wait to take it for herself, besides, she knows very well that she has no right to speak in this family, whether to marry or not, and she can't choose!

On the other side, Mrs. Cao couldn't help it again, and said coldly: "You haven't married yet, can you be polite!" Although the tone is cold, it is difficult to hide the joy!

As soon as he heard that Mrs. Cao mentioned the marriage again, Dong Ce couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he didn't know how to persuade this old man, so he simply ignored it, and said with a very unwillful smile: "I sold this, and there are many in the family, and Uncle Cao will accept it." ”

"In that case, then I'll take it from my uncle!" Cao An didn't want to excuse himself, so he happily responded.

As the saying goes, marriage is not a business, and a business is not benevolent, no matter what, try not to hurt the feelings of the two families, this is the maximum limit that Dong Ce can do.
