The decoration style of the ancient style residence is like a stage, there is a semi-circular stage in the middle, and there are many tables and chairs on both sides and in front of the stage, and the guests sit together in twos and threes or drink tea and chat, or watch the performance on the stage while eating, which is also popular.

After standing for a while, a small servant stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Gu is back." ”

"Hmm." Gu Ruohan nodded at the little servant, and waved his hand: "This Miss Qin is my honored guest, arrange a private seat immediately, I have something to talk about with Miss Qin." ”

"Okay." The little guy smiled back, looked to the side quickly, bent down and signaled, "Mr. Gu, Miss Qin, please come here." ”

On the first floor of the ancient style house is an open lobby with more than a dozen tables, and because it is still early, there are only five or six tables of guests sitting at the moment.

On the second floor, there is a VIP seat, which is divided into an independent small private room, and the two connected private rooms are blocked by screens, so that guests will not be disturbed by each other, and the privacy is better.

The seats in the private room on the second floor are different from the high chairs on the first floor, but there are many soft cushions directly on the wooden floor, and a small square wooden table with no height or height is placed in the middle.

After Qin Ran sat down, Sprite also pulled a cushion and knelt beside to wait.

Soon after the servant left, another servant brought tea and snacks.

Gu Ruohan sat opposite the two of them and pointed to the tea in front of him: "Miss Qin, it's hard to travel, please use some tea first." ”

"Thank you." Qin Ran pursed his lips, then picked up the teacup and put it to his lips and took a sip.

A faint fragrance of tea instantly entered her heart, and she was slightly surprised in her heart: "This tea is so fragrant." ”

Gu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "This is the new West Lake Longjing this year, a friend gave a few catties, if Miss Qin likes it, I will ask someone to pack some for you to take back in a while." ”

"That's not necessary, it's the first time I've come to your ancient mansion, and I'm already embarrassed to bring no gifts, how dare I bring your things." Qin Ran said with a smile.

Then, she drank the remaining half cup of tea in her hand and put the cup down gently: "If I remember correctly, this should be the best in Longjing tea this year, and the price is quite expensive." ”

Gu Ruohan was slightly surprised, and Xu Yu echoed: "I didn't expect Miss Qin to also study tea, you are right, there was a pest plague in the tea mountain in early spring, and there are not many tea harvested this year, and there are even fewer tea leaves in such good condition." As far as I know, there are less than 30 catties of tea on the market at present. ”

Qin Ran paused, less than thirty catties?

Such a superb tea is generally sent to the palace in the end, and no matter how bad it is, it will fall into the hands of the officials and nobles, and if you heard it right, Gu Ruohan once said that his friend gave him a few catties. How generous is his friend, how many catties of excellent tea are when he makes a move?

Thinking of this, Qin Ran faintly inquired in his heart: "Presumably, this friend of Mr. Gu has a very good relationship with you, right?" ”

If not, how can you be willing to send so many precious tea leaves at once.

Gu Ruohan was about to drink the tea, when he heard the words, he paused, put the cup back on the table, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Miss Qin, these tea leaves are actually rewarded by the King of Chu." ”

"Oh?" Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, a puzzled expression on his face.

Gu Ruohan continued: "Miss Qin should know that when she went to the Yan Palace, she actually went to the Yan Palace's mansion that night, and she actually went on the order of the King of Chu, right?" ”

Recalling the scene of that day, Qin Ran nodded: "Yes." ”
