When Sun Shaozu heard the word "tea house", his eyes shrank, turned around and immediately followed the little girl to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Magnolia standing outside the courtyard gate, Sun Shaozu frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

When Magnolia saw Sun Shaozu come out, he hurriedly gave a salute: "There is tea ordered by the master in the tea house, and the tea house has brought news for the master to go and have a look." ”

Sun Shaozu immediately turned around and walked towards the door of the house, and halfway through, Sun Shaozu saw a mother-in-law, Sun Shaozu said to the mother-in-law: "You go to the courtyard of the lady and tell the lady that I will not eat in the house at night." ”

The mother-in-law answered, and Sun Shaozu left.

When the mother-in-law saw Sun Shaozu leaving, she came in the direction of the courtyard to welcome spring.

"What? Won't you come back for dinner? Yingchun asked in surprise, "Didn't the master go to the second girl?" Does the master want to eat at the second girl's place? ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly replied: "The master has gone out of the house." ”

Yingchun raised her eyebrows and sent her mother-in-law down.

What's so urgent? Listening to Si Zhu say what Sun Shaozu asked Si Zhu, Sun Shaozu should go and persuade Sun Huiying, is there something going on in the yamen? Why don't you just come in and leave again, and you don't eat at home? Yingchun called Si Zhu over, and his voice was lowered: "You go to the second girl's yard to inquire, what is the master going out for?" ”

Si Zhu replied and retreated.

Yingchun stood up, looked at a few pale red fiery clouds in the sky, and his right eyelid jumped. Yingchun's heart couldn't help but palpitate, nothing will happen to Sun Shaozu?

Sun Shaozu rode his horse to the door of a tea house in the north of the city, and a plaque was hung on the door of the tea house, on which were written a few or three golden characters - Mingxiang Pavilion. Sun Shaozu jumped off the horse, Magnolia took the reins of Sun Shaozu's horse, and Sun Shaozu strode into the house of Mingxiang Pavilion. A man in his forties hurriedly walked over, with a smile on his whole face, and waved his hand at Sun Shaozu, "Lord Sun is here, Lord Sun has always been good?" ”

Sun Shaozu nodded lightly, "Shopkeeper Yu, I heard that the Tieguanyin I ordered has arrived?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "It's here, but I just arrived this morning, the car hasn't finished yet, and the tea is now in the backyard, Lord Sun is in a hurry, if I'm in a hurry, I'll take Lord Sun to the backyard to see the tea." ”

Sun Shaozu looked at the shopkeeper Yu with a groveling smile on his face, nodded, and the shopkeeper Yu smiled and led Sun Shaozu to the backyard of the tea house. When he arrived in the backyard, the shopkeeper led Sun Shaozu to the door of a room, and the shopkeeper pushed the door and went in. Sun Shaozu also followed the shopkeeper Yu in, and then closed the door.

The room was large, there was nothing else in the room, and there were many tables in rows, and there were many glass jars on the tables, and the glass jars contained all kinds of tea. The shopkeeper looked out at the window in the room for a while, convinced that no one was paying attention to this, turned around, smiled, and slowly said to Sun Shaozu: "Please Lord Sun choose your own tea." ”

Sun Shaozu didn't speak, Yu shopkeeper opened the door by himself, then gently closed the door and walked out.

Sun Shaozu walked to the west wall, put his hand on the last glass jar on the table on the south wall, and slowly forced, the originally extremely ordinary glass jar actually turned, and then a one-person-wide gap cracked in the west wall. Sun Shaozu hurriedly walked into the crack, and the crack closed automatically. On this side of the crack, there is a bluestone staircase, the stairs extend to the ground, and at intervals on both sides of the stairs, there is a small stone lamp on the wall, and more than a dozen small stone lamps illuminate this winding passage dimly and strangely. Sun Shaozu walked down the steps.

After walking for half a cup of tea, Sun Shaozu walked to a wall, and there was no way to go in front of him. Sun Shaozu looked up at the upper left corner of the wall, and raised his hand to press the most edge of the brick. The bricks slowly sank in, the entire wall opened, and Sun Shaozu walked in. On this side of the wall was a room, which was underground, but it was not damp and dark, and many lamps illuminated the whole room as if it were day. The wall of the room is hung with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, there is a bookcase and pen and ink on the west side, and there is a majestic screen on the opposite side, on which a flying dragon is drawn, the world dragon looks down on the earth proudly, and the dragon's eyes flash with cold light, which makes people daunting.

Sun Shaozu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the screen: "The slave is late, so the master has been waiting for a long time." ”

Vaguely from the light lines of the dragon screen, it can be seen that there is a chair behind the screen, and a man is sitting on the chair with his back to the screen.

At this time, the person on the chair heard Sun Shaozu's words, and he didn't move, and for a long time, a low and flat voice came faintly: "Get up." ”

It was not a high voice, it was very normal. But in this sentence, there is an indescribable coolness, which makes people shudder when they hear it. Sun Shaozu stood up and stood aside respectfully. On the other side of the screen, there is the sound of a teacup gently uncovered, and with the slight sound of tea blowing, it can be imagined that the person on the chair is drinking tea.

"Got a clue?" After a while, the screen spoke again.

Sun Shaozu immediately bowed down and replied, "Master...... The minions are incompetent, and they don't have a clue yet. ”

There was no sound on the other side of the screen, and suddenly, there was a very soft laughter on the side of the screen, just a sound, like a sigh, and a disdain. "You've been tired lately, haven't you?"

When Sun Shaozu heard this, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his head, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "The slave is incompetent, which makes the master annoyed." ”

There was a sound of the teacup being put down on the other side of the screen, "I also thought you were tired, and you didn't have the heart to check." The voice was very soft, but there was coldness everywhere.

Sun Shaozu kowtowed and said "don't dare".

"It's hard for you, I can tell you that lady is extremely powerful." The people on the other side of the screen spoke very compassionately, but their voices were cold.

Sun Shaozu's face stiffened, he didn't dare to savor this sentence, but he didn't dare to answer easily. He was stunned for a moment, and carefully weighed his words: "The Jia family is indeed a very different woman. ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and I only want you to find a way in the gentle township, and you are drunk there." It was a joke, from the man's mouth, but it was not meant to be a joke at all. Sun Shaozu's face turned white, and he kowtowed again, "Master, I will definitely think of something, I must find out some clues, please rest assured." ”

"I don't need to say anything else, it's just that Master Sun doesn't forget his identity, you, go back."

"Yes." Sun Shaozu stood up slowly, peeked at the person behind the screen, and saw that the person was slightly supporting his head with his fingers, not moving at all, like a statue. Sun Shaozu turned around, and when his hand touched the mechanism of the door, a gentle word came from behind the screen: "I heard that your whole family has moved here?" ”

Sun Shaozu shook his hand suddenly, he immediately turned around and knelt on the ground again, "If you go back to your master, it was some time ago. ”

Sun Shaozu knelt on the ground and waited for the screen to speak, and after a long time, the screen said again: "It's okay, give Mrs. Sun a substitute, okay." The word "good" was spoken very slowly, as if it had been spit out after careful consideration.

Sun Shaozu's cold sweat finally dripped down and fell on the bluestone ground in front of him. Sun Shaozu kowtowed, and then dared to stand up and retreat.

Sun Shaozu walked back to the tea storage room he came in the same way, he saw that there was no one around, he gently wiped the sweat on his head, took a few deep breaths, and then raised his feet and walked out of the house and went straight to the front hall. When he entered the front hall of the tea house, Sun Shaozu's face had returned to normal.

The shopkeeper Yu was greeting guests in the front hall, and when he saw Sun Shaozu coming out of it, he immediately greeted him, bowed down with a smile and said, "Lord Sun can choose tea?" ”

Sun Shaozu replied lightly, "Well, weigh the new Tieguanyin half a catty and wrap it in two packs." ”

Yu answered the shopkeeper with the long tone that merchants are accustomed to, "Okay ......", and then instructed the guy to weigh tea bags for Sun Shaozu. Sun Shaozu waited aside. After a while, the shopkeeper Yu carried two bags of tea and sent them to Sun Shaozu, "Lord Sun, you have taken it." ”

Sun Shaozu said to the shopkeeper: "I will ask the little maid to give the shopkeeper silver." Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Sun is an old customer." Sun Shaozu called Magnolia outside the door in, handed a bag of tea to Magnolia, asked Magnolia to take back to the house, and then told Magnolia to give the silver to the shopkeeper, Sun Shaozu waved his hand at the shopkeeper and said "farewell".

Shopkeeper Yu smiled and sent Sun Shaozu to the door of Mingxiang Pavilion: "Master Sun go slowly." ”

Sun Shaozu smiled and went out. At this time, the twilight had become heavy, Sun Shaozu looked at the faint sky, carried another bag of tea, got on the horse and left.

Yingchun was listening to Si Zhu in the house. "Madam, the girl in the courtyard of the second girl said that the master went there to persuade the second girl a few words, but the second girl just closed the door and disappeared. Later, Magnolia came to the master, as if to say that the tea ordered by the master arrived, and the tea house asked the master to see the tea, and then the master left. ”

Just watching the tea? Yingchun frowned. You don't have to be in such a hurry to watch tea, and you don't even come back for dinner.

Yingchun glanced at Si Zhu: "Tell me to go down, if the master and Magnolia come back together, that's it." If Magnolia comes back alone, let him come to see me. ”

Si Zhu replied and retreated.

Yingchun sat down in the small kang and saw the pair of embroidered shoes that Sun Huiying had cut on the corner of the small kang at a glance. Yingchun's brows furrowed a little more. There is one thing that Yingchun has never understood, Sun Huiying is a few years younger than Sun Huiyan, why is Mrs. Sun not in a hurry about Sun Huiyan's family affairs? Yingchun faintly felt in her heart that there might be something she didn't know, and she didn't want to ask Mrs. Sun questions.

Xiaocui came in with a curtain and said to Yingchun with a smile: "Madam, there is a happy event, Sister Xiu Tang is pregnant." ”

When Yingchun heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately said to Xiaocui: "Go quickly, call the embroidered orange here." ”
