After drinking tea, Cao An invited Dong Ce to his study to watch.

"Virtuous nephew, just tell the truth, do you know something?" Cao An suddenly said cautiously.

Dong Ce was looking at the calligraphy and paintings in Cao An's study, and said casually: "Uncle invited me to come and see your study, just to say this?" ”

"Now that you can see it, why bother talking nonsense." Cao An said dissatisfied.

"It's not that I like nonsense, it's really my little nephew who doesn't know!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly.

"I don't want to have a bad conversation with you, I did hear some news by accident!" Cao An said, and sighed deeply: "This troubled era in Jiangnan came too suddenly, and it seemed to catch the court off guard, but in fact, someone deliberately did it, no matter what you know, remember, don't publicize it!" ”

Dong Ce's expression was even more confused, and he frowned and said, "Uncle, what do you want to say?" ”

Seeing Dong Ce's expression, Cao An was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "You, you, I really don't know what to tell me about you, you are more ghostly than your grandfather, forget it if you don't understand, okay, I have to go to the palace to teach after noon, you will live in my house these days, if you need anything, tell your aunt directly." ”

"No, I've already ......" As soon as Dong Ce opened his mouth to refuse, Cao An came to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if you make the old man happy, as for you and Luo Rong's affairs, I will try to convince the old man in the past few days, you can rest assured." ”

"I think you're trying to convince me!" Dong Ce sighed lightly in his heart, everyone in this Cao family is good, but that crazy woman is really unbearable, how old she is, she doesn't understand any etiquette, and the most terrible thing is that she likes to drink and make trouble, and this kind of person is purely looking for guilt when she marries back.

It's no wonder that the Cao family wants to stuff their daughter to themselves, with her virtue, who does he want?

"Young boy!" Liu Fu suddenly appeared in front of the study, looked at Dong Ce who came out of the study, and comforted him in a very uncomfortable mood: "Look at it, isn't there a cloud in the old saying, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, everything can't be full of your heart, so why be melancholy." ”

Dong Ce glanced at Liu Fu and said angrily: "If you are not in your own house, you will have nothing to do, right?" ”

"No, no, no, isn't the little one going to take care of the horses, by the way, just now the people of the Cao Mansion brought this to the little one, it was sent by someone not long ago, and it was for you." After Liu Fu finished speaking, he took a post from his arms.

Dong Ce frowned, took it and opened it to take a look, then said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Wang Fuyan to move very fast, I know that I didn't come to Suzhou just for marriage!" ”

"We don't get married, why else?" Liu Fu was curious, he hadn't heard the young man mention anything else along the way?

"Nonsense, if you don't come to Suzhou to Taihu Lake, what are you doing here?" Dong Ce smiled faintly, but didn't explain too much.

What is there in Taihu Lake, Dongting Mountain! What's in Dongting Mountain, Biluochun!

Now Biluochun is still in the embryonic stage, it's not that no one knows, it's just that they are freshly picked and brewed, and green tea is collected at the beginning of spring, and some people try to dry and preserve, or steam into tea cakes, but unfortunately the fragrance is lost too quickly, or the taste is unsatisfactory, so it can't become a commodity now!

But Dong Ce is different, in his last life, he was dragged by a tea addict to travel when he had nothing to do, and the places he went to were all famous tea production areas, from picking to selection, finishing, roasting, and kneading were all processed by himself, and finally tasted the fruits of his labor, and the taste was indeed not comparable to ordinary tea.

And Biluochun is one of them, although Dong Ce has only fried it twice, but he has also fried a lot of other teas, and his kung fu is naturally a bit of a doorway, even if he can't technically put it on the table, but he knows the process, he will taste good or bad, isn't it enough to ask someone to develop it together?

It's a pity that he is now lacking in funds, and it is impossible to open up a tea garden by himself, so he can only find a collaborator, and he must start now, and wait for the next year's spring Biluochun can come out, otherwise I don't know how long it will be delayed, and the land is in the hands of the Shi clan this year, if there is no sky-high price, they rarely sell, the Dong family's tea garden in Shizigang is to spend twelve times the land price, or rely on the old man Dong to make a lot of contributions to the Jinling Shi clan, people are willing to sell to him.

Now that he is a guy with no power and no power, he has come here to make a lot of money by renting land and building a garden, so it doesn't instantly make those scholars blush-eyed one by one and divide his tea garden!

Therefore, this collaborator must be on the table, and now there are two people who are very good chess pieces, one is Cao An, and the other is Wang Fuyan, as long as they match the relationship with the Shi clan, with Dong Ce's three-inch tongue, I really don't believe that I can't understand these guys.

"It's okay anyway, let's go to Taihu Lake now." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of Cao's mansion.

Liu Fu followed behind and said curiously: "Aren't you going to see Wang Yuanwai?" ”

Dong Ce smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry! ”

Coming to the gate of Caofu, Dong Ce was waiting for Liu Fu to drive the carriage out, and suddenly saw a person walking out of Liufu on the other side, Dong Ce subconsciously looked over, only to see that it was a stunning beauty in a blue shirt and skirt, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, and her posture was as soft as the March willow, swaying and swaying, so light that a breeze could blow her away, making the man's pity instantly swell to the extreme.

"Wow!" Liu Fu, who was just in time to come by car, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this woman.

Dong Ce was also shocked, but it was definitely not the woman's appearance, but the little guy in the woman's arms!

"How is that possible?" Dong Ce was screaming in shock, only to see the woman bow slightly towards them, and then pass over her shoulders.

"Wait ......" Dong Ce suddenly woke up, and was about to stop the woman when he suddenly heard the woman whispering in the direction of Caofu: "Hey, sister, what are you doing sneaky?" ”

"Huh? Oh, I didn't do anything, I just went out. "The woman who spoke was actually Cao Luorong who had been arguing with Dong Ce all morning! At this moment, half of her body was still hidden behind the pillar in front of the Cao Mansion, revealing half of her small head, and she smirked at the woman with an embarrassed face.

"Where are you going?" After Cao Luorong finished speaking, she quickly jumped out, and after glancing at Dong Ce quickly, she suddenly saw the little guy in the woman's arms, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, your new kitten, it's so cute." As he spoke, he teased the kitten twice, but unfortunately, the kitten looked sick and didn't even have the strength to look at Cao Luorong.

"Well, this is the kitten that Lu Xiaoxiao gave to me after leaving Huixianzhuang yesterday, I heard him say that this is a bobcat caught by Orion in the mountains, but it can be cherished, but for some reason, I fed it but refused to eat, only drank some water, I was wondering if it was sick, and I wanted to take it to Academician Lu to see it." The woman's voice was as delicate as flowing water, and it made people's bones almost crisp when they heard it.

"I think he has nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief, you have to be careful!" Cao Luorong sneered.

"You're embarrassed to say that you were thinking about pushing people to him yesterday." The woman glanced at Cao Luorong, and after she finished speaking dissatisfied, she suddenly looked at Cao Luorong carefully, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with my sister today?" Not only combed the bun, but also smeared gouache and red lips, this dress is also new, is it possible that I am in a dream? ”

Cao Luorong's face turned red when she heard this, but before he could explain, Dong Ce's voice sounded out inopportunely: "I see, this lady has a grudge against the guy surnamed Lu!" ”

"You are so rude, other girls talk, who allowed you to interject." Cao Luorong immediately sarcastically said when she heard this.

Dong Ce glanced at Cao Luorong and said directly: "If someone gives this thing to you, I will never talk nonsense, but this lady is a compassionate person at first glance, I really don't want her to cry for this poor little guy!" ”

"Who is this son?" The woman looked at Dong Ce curiously, and then at Cao Luorong, wondering when this girl was so breathless? As soon as people said a word, she was like a frightened kitten, and she exploded in an instant, with a look of full vigilance.

"In Xia Dong Ce, Jinling people." Dong Ce saluted at the woman.

"The surname is Dong, and he is still from Jinling!" When the woman heard this, she instantly understood something, glanced at Cao Luorong, who was pretending to be arrogant, with a smile, and then bowed to Dong Ce and said, "Little woman Liu Su, dare to ask Dong Gongzi what he meant by what he said?" ”

Dong Ce looked at the little guy in Liu Su's arms, his brows couldn't help frowning again, and said: "Of course, it's all because of this little guy, if I'm not mistaken, it's definitely not a bobcat, but a little tiger!" ”

"What!" Liu Su and Cao Luorong were shocked when they heard this, and Liu Fu behind Dong Ce exclaimed: "Young boy, are you mistaken, this little guy who is the size of a cat is also a tiger?" ”

"Don't understand less nonsense!" Dong Ce knocked Liu Fu on the head, looked at Liu Su and continued: "The reason why wild animals would rather starve to death than eat is nothing more than two situations, one is that they are wild and untamable, and they would rather die than give in, and the other is that they can't eat at all, because they haven't been weaned yet!" ”

"Ahh Liu Su was shocked, looked down at the sick little guy, and suddenly posted it to Dong Ce, so startled that Dong Ce subconsciously took a step back and said, "What are you doing so close all of a sudden?" ”

"No, no, no, it's the little woman who is abrupt, Su'er is here to compensate Childe, and ask Childe for guidance, how to save this little ...... Little Tiger? Liu Su stared at Dong Ce eagerly and eagerly, and his shining apricot eyes made Dong Ce feel creepy.

"There's something to say.,Don't sell cute.,I can't stand cute things the most." Dong Ce said secretly in his heart, but his face was relaxed and said: "Presumably, this little guy has never drunk milk since he was carried, and Mrs. Liu just needs to find some milk to feed it." ”

"Huh? Milk...... No, Childe, where are you going to get this tiger's milk? Liu Su stared at Dong Ce with blank eyes.

Dong Ce subconsciously looked away and said casually: "Other milk is also made, such as people, horses, cattle and sheep, that is all done." ”

"Really?" Liu Su was instantly excited.

"Hmm!" Dong Ce nodded, and said cautiously: "But raising tigers will eventually be a problem, especially for people who don't know how to domesticate, don't look at this little guy is just a cat now, but in a year or two, it can slap people to death!" ”

"Isn't it, young boy, it's really a tiger?" Liu Fu was still incredulous.

"Of course!" Dong Ce explained seriously: "To be precise, the South China Tiger, this tiger has a round head, short ears, and thick limbs, don't you see, this little guy's limbs are about to catch up with the dog's legs, and when the male of this tiger grows up, it is nearly a foot long from head to tail, weighing more than 200 catties. As for the female tiger, although the size is small, the threat to people is not much different, even if you raise it from a young age, if you are not careful, even if you don't die, there will be others into its tiger's mouth! ”
