Liu Xu came out of the Yunzhu courtyard and stood on the bank of the Nanyang River, remembering that Cui Ye had said yesterday that he would cooperate with him to open a wine shop, so he wanted to discuss this matter with Cui Ye. However, Liu Xu thought about it, he had never been to Cui's mansion, and when he first went to see him, he didn't know if he could meet Cui Ye. It's better to go and visit Cui Lao first, anyway, I've already arrived on the bank of the Nanyang River, go to the Changting to see if Cui Lao is playing chess there.

Speaking of which, Liu Xu has not come to run for seven or eight days since he was imprisoned. Liu Xu had a terrible fever last night, but he didn't take medicine, he just drank some hot porridge, slept a lot and didn't burn this morning, Liu Xu felt that the physique of his body seemed to have improved a lot because of his running exercise. So Liu Xu felt that he had to insist on running and exercising every day.

Liu Xu has always been a person who thinks of what to do, since he thinks of running and exercising, and he thinks of meeting Cui Lao, he trotted all the way along the Nanyang River and went straight to the long pavilion where he often played chess with Cui Lao.

The surface of the Nanyang River is rippling, the weeping willows on both sides are still so beautiful. In the early morning, there are many less pleasure boats and less noise, only the river is flowing quietly.

When Liu Xu ran to the foot of the long pavilion, he saw Cui Lao as he wished, and Cui Lao was with a chess friend, and he was happy to kill, showing that Cui Lao had the upper hand.

When Cui Lao heard the sound of footsteps, he couldn't help but look up, and when he saw that it was Liu Xu, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yo, this is not Liu Dacai." ”

Liu Xu said with a smile: "Cui Lao Mo killed the kid, the kid is a layman, what kind of talent can he be, and I have to thank Cui Lao for his help!" ”

Cui Lao obviously won this game of chess, and while playing chess, he also laughed and talked with Liu Xu.

"Then I don't have anything to do with me, if you want to help, that's why Rokuro helped you, I never care about your juniors' affairs, you take care of it yourself."

Liu Xu bowed solemnly and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank you, Mr. Cui." ”

Cui Lao smiled: "That's it, that's it." ”

Cui Lao dropped another son on the chessboard, looked up and asked Liu Xu: "Listen to Liulang, Brother Xu made another wonderful song yesterday?" ”

Liu Xu said in his heart, Cui Ye's mouth is really fast, and he hurriedly said: "What a good word, done indiscriminately, it can't be a good word." ”

At this time, Cui Lao fell again, and laughed: "Lao Lu, I'm afraid you will lose this game of chess." ”

Opposite Cui Lao, an old man in a dark cyan slanted robe, looked at the chess game and muttered for a moment, seeing that it was difficult to return to heaven in this game, he threw himself in the first place.

Cui Lao smiled and said to Liu Xu: "Boy Xu, sit down and kill a few rounds?" ”

Liu Xu was a bit addicted to chess, but remembered that he was going to visit Cui Ye and finalize the matter of cooperating in opening a wine shop by the way, so he couldn't help it again. Cui Lao is addicted to chess more than himself, I am afraid that as soon as he sits down, Cui Lao will not let himself leave if he does not kill him. At that moment, Liu Xu hurriedly said: "The kid won't go down, let's go down another day." There is still something to do today, I am planning to visit Brother Cui in your house, and I am here today mainly to thank Mr. Cui! ”

Cui Lao smiled: "What is not thankful, it doesn't matter, then it will go down another day, you go and do your business first." After Cui Lao finished speaking, he took out a jade plate from his arms, handed it to Liu Xu and said: "This is a token of our Cui family, you take it, in the future, the Cui family, you can come and go freely, you go to find Liulang." Also, this jade plate, if you have something to do in the future, go to the Cui family firm for help, it will also have a great effect. ”

Liu Xu hurriedly excused himself and said: "Such a valuable thing, how dare the kid bear it, Cui Lao Mo is going to kill the kid." ”

Cui Lao smiled: "What kind of valuables, you and I can forget the New Year's friend, where can I get so many politeness, take it." ”

Liu Xu couldn't shirk it anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said, "That kid will bear it, thank you Cui Lao for your love." Although Liu Xu was prevaricating in his mouth, he was actually eager to take it over in his heart, with the strength of the Cui family, the influence of this jade brand can be imagined.

Cui Lao said: "You can go by yourself!" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly saluted and said, "That kid has taken his leave." ”

Liu Xu picked up the jade card, and Shi Shiran left.

"Why does Cui Gong love this young man so much?" The old man surnamed Lu, who was playing against Cui Lao, asked Cui Laodao.

Cui Lao smiled: "Hehe, this kid is a talent, and his future may be limitless." Yesterday, Kou Xianggong also asked someone to ask me about the relationship between this kid and Liulang, saying that he wanted to meet this kid, and Kou Xianggong was also very interested in this kid. I enveloped it in advance, and it's always good. ”

The old man surnamed Zhang, who often wore black clothes that Liu Xu often met in Changting before, asked: "I heard that this Liu Xu was imprisoned by the Tang family, and the Tang Wei kid of the Tang family is narrow-minded, so I am afraid that he may not be willing to let him go." ”

Cui Lao said with a smile: "Puyu needs to be carved by itself, and it is difficult for the young eagle to spread its wings and fly without training." Let this Liu Xu kid and Liulang toss, even the useless kid of the Tang family can't deal with it, so how can he become a great talent? ”

Lu Lao and Zhang Lao both said: "It's still Cui Gong who thinks thoroughly!" ”

On the shore of Yangxi Lake, spring flowers and autumn moons, summer and winter snow, there are charming scenery at all times, and there are Yangxi Pavilion, Yinhe Pavilion and other landscapes dotted in the meantime, it is a place with excellent scenery in Qingzhou.

Many wealthy families in Qingzhou have settled on the banks of Yangxi Lake, and among the countless mansions of wealthy families on the banks of Yangxi Lake, Cui's huge Jiujin courtyard is undoubtedly the most prominent.

Liu Xu didn't have much effort to find the Cui family's mansion.

Liu Xu took out the jade plate given by Cui Lao, handed it to the porter, and told the porter that he was here to find Cui Ye. The two servants on duty in the concierge took the jade plaque, only glanced at it, and respectfully returned it to Liu Xu, obviously the weight of this jade plaque was very heavy in Cui's mansion. A servant in Tsing Yi asked Liu Xu to sit in the hall for a while, and the other quickly ran to inform Cui Ye.

Liu Xu sat in the side hall.

It didn't take long to hear Cui Ye's hearty voice: "Where is my second brother?" ”

Liu Xu hurriedly stood up and greeted the door, and shouted with a smile: "Big brother, little brother is here!" ”

Cui Ye saw Liu Xu and said with a smile: "Second brother is sober?" ”

Liu Xu pursed his lips slightly and said, "Big brother, what about it, you and the third brother left the little brother alone in Yun Xingshou, but it made the little brother embarrassed." ”

Cui Ye laughed and said: "Come on, others want to stay downstairs in our Oiran in Qingzhou, but they can't get it, second brother, you don't have to be cheap and sell well." Besides, I can't complain about leaving you in Yun Xingshou, I can't complain about my eldest brother, Yun Xingshou is afraid that the second brother will be drunk and go back alone, and no one will take care of you, so she will take care of you if she leaves the second brother there. Tsk, the second brother has such a talented and good-looking confidant, which really makes the eldest brother jealous. ”

Liu Xu said with a smile: "Big brother, don't laugh at the little brother." ”

Cui Ye and Liu Xu walked inside while making trouble. In the courtyard, exquisite pavilions and pavilions, quiet and beautiful pools and water corridors can be seen everywhere. Liu Xu followed Cui Ye into the courtyard several times, and finally passed the vertical arch and arrived at the back house of Cui's mansion. Entering the vertical arch and turning to the east side, an elegant courtyard appeared in front of Liu Xu at the end of the path.

Cui Ye pointed to the elegant courtyard and said, "This is where the eldest brother lives." ”

Liu Xu couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, the mansion of this wealthy family is really different, he secretly counted it when he came over just now, and it was probably through six or seven courtyards before passing through the vertical arch, which shows the depth of this courtyard. Looking into the depths of the courtyard, there are still courtyards, but I don't know how deep they are. The demeanor of this wealthy family, this mansion alone is enough to see its heritage.

Cui Ye's small courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, green willows hang around, mountains and stones in the courtyard are embellished, and lotus ponds are surrounded. Liu Xu followed Cui Ye into the small courtyard and sat down in the living room. Cui Ye's living room is elegantly furnished, with several calligraphy and paintings on the wall, full of brushwork, showing the hands of his own famous artist. On the long table next to the wall, there are two pots of orchids, which are very elegant. There is a long sword hanging on the wall, and it can be seen that Cui Ye, the son of the family, is not only brilliant in literature, but also has a martial spirit.

The two sat down, and the two handsome little maids served tea, served refreshments, and stood aside to serve.

"Second brother, please use tea!"

Liu Xu picked up the delicate tea bowl, looked at the tea in the tea bowl, but frowned a little, the color of the tea soup was a little shiny, but Liu Xu didn't say much, he came to his mouth and took a sip, for a while, the mouth was sweet and sour, bitter and salty, all five of them were complete, and it took a lot of effort to swallow it without spitting it out.

In fact, Liu Xu thinks that the five flavors are there, and it is really true, this tea is fried with green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, salt, and a little lard. This method of drinking tea, inherited from the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, has been passed down to this day. In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, the method of brewing tea and ordering tea have become popular, but famous families like the Cui family still uphold the legacy of the family and disdain to accept it. Although the strength of the family has been greatly weakened by the great turmoil of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, they still refuse to bow their heads in terms of adhering to the tradition, and still uphold the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties. It's like the horse-drawn cart is faster, but they still like to ride the ox-cart; Obviously, it is more comfortable to sit on the table and stool, when they still like to sit on their knees. In the eyes of the famous clan, this is part of their pride.

Cui Ye saw Liu Xu take a sip of tea soup with a painful look on his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Erlang can't get used to drinking, I'll let them change a cup for you." ”

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Don't be too troublesome, just brew some tea with boiling water." Liu Xu was afraid that he would not give him an order, and after a while, he came up to himself with the kind of tea soup that literati often drink, and he was really not used to drinking it, and he also liked light brewed tea.

Nowadays, the literati of the Great Song Dynasty drank tea and popularized the method of ordering tea, which was no longer to put the tea powder into the water to decoction, but to put the ground tea in the tea cup and pour it with boiling water, and then stir it fully with a tea whisk. When the bowl is creamy and the bowl is full of fine white foam, you can drink it slowly. Song people like to get together to compare and appreciate tea, to see whose tea soup has more camellias, disperses slowly, "bites" well, and finally evaluates the high and low. This is called a tea fight. Tea fighting, also known as "tea war". It first originated among the people, and then gradually spread to the study pavilions of literati and scholars, and even to the imperial palace. A large number of literati and scholars participated in tea drinking and tea fighting, which made tea drinking in the Song Dynasty gradually become artistic. However, these things that literati think are elegant, Liu Xu is really not used to drinking them.

Fortunately, the tea that the little girl brought to herself this time was a refreshing and refreshing brewed tea, and she smelled the fragrance of tea when she held it. Liu Xu still likes to drink tea brewed like this, and Liu Xu is really unaccustomed to drinking the tea soup made by the sencha method and the tea ordering method.

Liu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Big brother likes to drink this tea soup with mixed flavors?"

Cui Ye said: "I've been used to drinking since I was a child, but I don't feel anything, the five flavors are also very good, savoring the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, just like the flavors of life, you have to taste it slowly, which is also a good feeling." ”

"The eldest brother can appreciate life with a cup of tea, which shows that he has a lot of concern for the world, and the younger brother admires it!"

"You believe it?"

"Big brother is joking?"

"Hehe, in fact, I don't like this kind of tea soup either, but I was told since I was a child that this kind of tea drinking represents the inheritance of our famous family, and I have to drink it, and I have been used to it since I was a child. The second brother may envy me for being born in a wealthy family, glorious and wealthy, but I envy the second brother for being born in a common people's family, extraordinary and free. ”

"Yes, big brother, don't say that I'm extraordinary, I've been living these days, and I can't open the pot at home, but today I'm here to talk to you about the wine shop business."

"Winery, this is easy to say, my Cui family has a winery on Zhaode Street in Anpingfang, and then other wines will not be brewed, only the second brother's soju. As for this shopkeeper, if the second brother is interested, you will be the one. In fact, you don't have to worry about it, just give some guidance when you have time, and then I'll send a few more helpers to you, they will do this winemaking and selling wine, our Cui family has its own channels, do you think this is good? Cui Ye said again: "We are also good brothers to settle accounts, fifty-fifty points, and let the housekeeper write a contract for a while, and our brothers will sign it and make a fortune together." ”

Liu Xu came today to smash the matter of opening a wine shop, Cui Ye was so happy, Liu Xu was full of promises.
