Ruoxue met with several housekeepers and mothers in Guanfang Courtyard, dealt with the trivial things left behind these days, and rested on the couch for half an hour.

At the end of the day, Ruoxue took Lianxin and Rice Pearl Gongyue and went to Honghu Pavilion with Zhang Jing.

When I arrived at Honghu Pavilion, I asked my buddy if Duan Jie had arrived.

The guy looked at the invitation handed over by Lianxin, and remembered that this was an invitation sent by the guests in the private room on the third floor, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Duan Ye has not come yet, why don't you wait downstairs for a while, and the villain will serve you good tea,......"

Ruoxue didn't wait for him to finish, so she asked Duan Jie if there were any other private rooms next to the room, and she wanted one.

"And the Uzumi private room, do you want it?"

"Yes. Lead the way. ”

The man hunched his waist and led Ruoxue and his party up to the third floor and into a room to the west.

There are a few pots of precious orchid grass on the corner flower table in the private room, and there are jade landscape ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion on the west wall, porcelain from a hundred years ago, and bronze four-legged square tripods, all of which are antiques worth thousands of gold.

There are two chairs with Huanghuali placed under the large window on the south side, which are used to watch the crowd and scenery on the street.

In the middle of a sandalwood round table, on which is placed a set of cups from the Ru kiln, around the table there are six carved peach and plum garden round stools, all of which are 500 years of red sandalwood workmanship.

Ruoxue asked Zhang Jing to sit down, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Jing walked to the window by himself, sat down on the chair on the right, looked at the guy and ordered: "Take your Mao Feng here, soak a pot of plum blossom snow water." ”

The guy smiled and agreed, this is an expert, he knows the best tea in their shop, and the water for making tea, he looked at it again and again, he shouldn't be a regular customer, his face is very raw, he piled up a flattering smile, "What else do you two want?" ”

"Don't want anything else yet."

Ruoxue waved her hand to let the guy step back, turned around and sat down on a round stool, and talked to Zhang Jing about silkworm breeding in several places, and how much silk was estimated to be produced.

Judging from the news reported by Zhuangzi in various places, this year's raw silk output is one to two percent more than last year, so that more than 100 brocades can be woven.

"Duan Jie should come to Jinling for this year's silk, I don't know how much he wants." Zhang Jing turned his head as he spoke, and did not forget to look at the people who came downstairs.

The guy came in with a gold-painted tray carrying a blue and white teapot, and placed another teapot next to the blue and white teapot, "Your tea is here." As he spoke, he walked over to the table and put down the tray, then turned and walked out.

In normal times, he has to pour tea before leaving, but today's guest has a maid by his side, so he doesn't have to pour tea for the guest himself.

Some guests will think that their hands and feet are not clean, so a man with a discerning eye should put down the teapot and leave.

Lianxin used the pot of boiling water next to her to wash the Ruyao tea cup on the table twice before pouring tea, a fresh and elegant fragrance of plum blossoms, coupled with Mao Feng's unique tea fragrance wafting in this elegant room, smelling it makes people intoxicated!

"Good tea!"

Zhang Jing praised it, but before he could drink it in his mouth, just smelling the faint fragrance made him full of praise.

Lian Xin smiled and brought a cup on the coffee table in his hand, "Sir, please use tea." She said.

Zhang Jing bowed slightly at her, "There is Miss Lao." ”

Ruoxue looked at the jasper-like tea that Lian Xin put in the Ruyao tea cup in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "The Duan family may buy a large amount of silk and satin cloth this year, and the price should be lowered by three percent." ”

Zhang Jing wanted to send the tea to his lips, but when he heard what she said, his hand was unstable, and the tea was spilled in one hand, but fortunately, he moved quickly and did not let the tea splash on his clothes.

"Won't it?"

He looked at Ruoxue in amazement, and then looked down at the remaining half of the tea in his hand, which was a pity again.

Ruoxue elegantly took a sip of fragrant tea, "I guess he has checked the general situation of the silkworms in Jiangnan before he came, and knows that this year's output is greater than in previous years, and the silk woven is more than in previous years, so it is reasonable to reduce the price." She said.

Lian Xin took a handkerchief to Zhang Jing, asked him to wipe the tea on his hands, took the teacup and poured him a new cup.

Zhang Jing shook the water in his hand, wiped it with a handkerchief, and said, "Isn't Sancheng a bit too much, shouldn't it be like this?" Even other silk merchants would not agree. ”

He didn't know where the eldest lady heard the news when she was so sure, otherwise she wouldn't be so sure just by guessing.

Ruoxue put down the teacup and said, "Huang Bingshan will agree,"

"Huang Bingshan? The owner of Jiqing Silk Village, how could he agree to reduce the price by 30%? Then he will have to pay a lot of silver. Zhang Jing brought the teacup to his mouth and took a sip.

Ruoxue looked at the sunless sky outside the window, and seemed to think for a while before saying, "Last time, he took out more than one million silver to run on Jiutong's wealth, and half of the silver may have been borrowed from Duan Jie,......"

Zhang Jing thought for a while, leaned back in the chair and stopped talking, and slowly tasted the tea that Lianxin had added for him.

Mi Pearl and Gong Yue looked at Ruoxue, and then at Zhang Jing, they were really curious about the tea in their hands, the fragrance was very attractive, and they wanted to taste what the tea tasted like.

Lian Xin looked at the two little girls and looked a little funny, thinking about giving them a taste of freshness for a while.

After a few more moments, there was the sound of talking in the hallway, and the sound of footsteps on the floor.

"Here we are."

Zhang Jing put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the door of the private room, and could hear the sound of the door opening on the left, and the sound of everyone entering the room humbly.

Ruoxue also put down the teacup and looked at the Duobao Pavilion opposite, and behind it was the Yinzi private room under Duan Jie's bag.

Gong Yue said: "There are five people who go in, and one of them is a guy." ”

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Yue, this maid has good ears, she knows how many people just by listening to the voice, and she can tell that a person is a buddy, which is a trained ability.

He looked at the rice pearl again, and heard that the eldest lady had two kung fu maids around her, and they should be them.

Ruoxue stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Jing also stood up, stroked the long dark hair shirt on his body, and followed outside.

Mi Pearl opened the door and took two steps back to the side, letting Ruoxue go first.

Lian Xin walked behind, casually stuffed the teapot into Gong Yue's arms, and winked at her, which meant obviously.

Gong Yue took two sips of the spout, and quickly handed it to Mi Zhu, following Ruoxue with a small face.

Mi Pearl took a sip of the teapot, turned her head and wanted to vomit, but she was reluctant to think about it, so she swallowed it, looked at the teapot in her hand, took another sip of it, and then put it on the round stool by the door, and chased it out.

Lianxin showed the invitation to the two families at the door, and the family looked at it and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Jinling Mei family." Lian Xin said.

A family member pushed the door in, "Master, the people from the Jinling Mei family have arrived." ”
