The two of them sat in a private room on the third floor, behind which was a very quiet alley, and on the opposite side of the window was a plum tea shop, and the shopkeeper was a hunchbacked woman. The aroma of plum tea was overflowing, Mu Qianxi stood by the window and took a deep breath of the aroma of plum tea, it was really refreshing, and she didn't want to leave when she smelled the aroma. The location of the tea shop is very good, next to the largest restaurant in the capital, and visitors like to go there to rest and have a cup of tea to relieve their alcohol. After drinking two cups with Xingguang, Mu Qianxi kept thinking about the plum tea outside the alley, smelling the plum tea and getting a little in a trance, sending Starlight back and being attracted by the fragrance of tea. I went downstairs and down the alley to the tea shop.

The shopkeeper greeted him very warmly, Mu Qianxi didn't have the mask of the empress, and the shopkeeper was stupid, and couldn't help coughing embarrassedly twice, "The capital of the guest officer is an immortal, but it swayed the eyes of the old woman" Mu Qianxi smiled lightly "was attracted by the fragrance of your tea, and these feet didn't know how to obey the call, so they had to bother the old woman" The old woman heard that Mu Qianxi praised her plum tea, and her eyes were full of smiles, "It's not that the old woman boasted, my family's plum tea was passed down from my ancestors, and this taste couldn't find a second one" Mu Qianxi kindly took the old woman's hand" Then the lady, you will always give me a bowl first, if the taste is not authentic, I won't pay the bill" The old woman said three times in a row, okay, and beckoned Mu Qianxi to sit on the secluded small table inside, "Look at your dress like a passerby, taste the old woman's plum tea, you will definitely come again" Mu Qianxi sat down, the old woman turned to the door to cook tea, looked around the hut, several small tables were full of people, the store was very clean and there was no superfluous decoration, and the guests who tasted tea were not noisy. There is a word hanging on one of the walls of the store, which reads happiness and health, Mu Qianxi felt that the writing was very good, so he asked the old woman, "The words on the wall are very beautiful, the old woman turned her head and smiled, and bent her eyes, seeing Mu Qianxi praising the words on the wall, she was particularly proud of the application, and waved the spoon for cooking tea, "That picture was written by my wife when she was young" Mu Qianxi was a little surprised, "Auntie, your handwriting is really good" I thought that such an old woman with scars on her hunchback face was illiterate, but I didn't expect it to be written very well.

The old woman's hunched back was also as excited as the master, "When the old woman was young, her father taught her to read and write," instead, she paused, said She sighed lightly, bowed her head to cook tea, and then said, "When I was a child, the supremacy of women's rights was not as enlightened as it is now, and my father was literate at home, and he had been dreaming of gaining fame all his life, and he failed to realize it until he passed away." At that time, men were not allowed to show their wives and children at home, and after my father and mother got married, I was born, and then my father pinned all his hopes on me. When I grew up, my parents ran this tea shop, and they didn't allow me to help, only told me to concentrate on studying, and kept taking exams for me, because the family didn't have spare money to honor the top, and every time I failed. The guests in the store were listening to the old woman, and from time to time they drank a few sips of tea as a compliment to her, and the old woman sighed again and continued to stir the spoon, "The person who took the test with the village to gain fame has become a petty official, and then the family married a relative, and his parents died one after another, so he had no choice but to give up the examination to gain fame, and went home to concentrate on this tea shop with his husband" Speaking of his husband, his face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, and it could be seen that she loved her husband very much, "The dim sum you eat is what he made" Mu Qianxi looked at the delicate dim sum on the table like the group of guests, and picked up a piece to taste the taste, which was really good.

Saying that, her husband came out of the house, holding two plates of snacks in his hands, "What are you doing here!" Get on board! The old woman scolded, Mu Qianxi was surprised by the old woman's attitude, her husband's eyebrows were clear and her eyes were beautiful, and the coarse linen clothes were clean and refreshing. The man looked to be in his thirties, and the old woman had a big scar on her face, hunched over, and looked almost fifty, and the contrast of her man's beauty reflected her ugliness. The people around sighed, chattering about her man's handsomeness, and an abnormal flush appeared on her scarred face.

Her man looked at her with affection in his eyes, he said, "Look at your chat, send two plates of freshly made dim sum to help the fun" His voice was like a breeze, just like the plum tea shop in the bustling capital, injecting a touch of coolness into this turbid small city, saying that, he bowed to the guests in the house, "You guys talk slowly" and returned to the back room, Mu Qianxi nodded lightly as a greeting, the man looked at him and then nodded back into the back room.

After the man entered the house, the originally quiet plum tea shop suddenly boiled, and the guests were talking about her man's handsomeness, curious why her man chose her, even if there was no malicious intent, these blatant remarks also deeply hit the old woman. She bent her back and brought a bowl of plum tea and put it on Mu Qianxi's table, looking at Mu Qianxi's eyes was a little unnatural, and she turned around to add tea to the other guests without saying much. Mu Qianxi's brows furrowed slightly, she was wary, her fingers stirred in the teacup, Mu Qianxi's silver ring can test poison, the ring has not changed color, but Mu Qianxi does not dare to relax her vigilance.

There was a panic in the crowd, and two female officials swaggered in from outside, drove away the guests at the two tables in front, stepped on the bench, and threw the tea bowls that the guests in front of them had not finished drinking on the table. The tea inside splashed all over the table, and a female official with yellow teeth shouted loudly, "Where's the shopkeeper's tea!" The old woman hurriedly came up to add tea, with a flattering face, how could there be the gloom just now, "It's coming, the best plum tea is coming" The old woman is afraid that she hasn't encountered this kind of scene, she is an honest person who does her duty to do business on weekdays, because she is afraid, even the smallest official like the official can kill her in minutes, her hand trembled, and she accidentally spilled the tea on the hand of another female official who was about to drop her earlobe to the ground. The lop-eared official's backhand is a slap, her strength is really great, a slap will fan the old woman to the ground, the old woman blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" The two officials looked at each other and laughed, and laughed at the old woman's cowardice. Mu Qianxi looked at the plum tea that was sprinkled on the table and flowed on the ground along the table, ticking and ticking, the guests in the house did not dare to move, and the guests outside had already gone, Mu Qianxi hated himself a little that his poison had been resolved, otherwise he would not have been rational and would not have been able to bear to beat these two bullying female officials.

The old woman kept apologizing, the yellow tooth official slapped the table with his big hand, jumped the tea bowl violently, jumped to the edge of the table, the yellow tooth official looked impatient, and threw the tea bowl on the ground with a wave of his hand, "bang" the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking, the old woman looked at the fragments on the ground, and there was a distress in her eyes. At this time, the lop-eared official said, "If you want to make amends, it's okay, go and call the two little guys to come to our sisters and sisters, maybe our sisters won't blame you if they're happy" said and looked at the yellow-toothed official, and smiled obscenely, "There is no little guy, it's okay to call your man out" The yellow-toothed official heard the words of the lop-eared official, and hurriedly showed a squinting face, and echoed, "Yes, yes, call your man out and drink with our sisters" As soon as the old woman heard this, the expression of distress on her face was gone, and she immediately changed to horror when she understood it for a moment, and she waved her hand again and again in fear. He can't, he's... He's sick, don't pass it on to the two adults" She paused a little when she spoke, obviously thinking of countermeasures, when people are nervous, they won't think about whether this panic is round or not. When the two officials heard that the old woman was unwilling, they immediately came forward and kicked her, and the old woman begged for mercy again and again, and her cry for help startled the man in the back room, and he ran out, and when he saw that the old woman was beaten, he quickly knelt down and begged the two officials for mercy. When the two officials saw the man come out, they immediately showed a lewd expression, and they put their hands on the man, but the man couldn't bear it and didn't dare to refute, the old woman pounced and shouted loudly, "Please let the two officials let him go" The official immediately became angry, and kicked the old woman in the face, and the two front teeth flew out with blood. The yellow tooth shouted loudly, "You old thing doesn't know how to lift, I usually see you very inconspicuous, but I didn't expect that there are good goods hidden at home" Lop also cried and echoed, "Good things should be taken out and shared, and your man will lend our sisters to play for two days, and we will cover you on this street." Tell you not to know how to lift, otherwise I will see you hit you once" Saying that, the two of them dragged the man on the ground and were about to rush into the house, Mu Qianxi would not be a person if she could bear it, her fingertips pinched two salt beans, which the man had just finished serving. The salt beans flew out, and the two officials fell to the ground, their faces covered with the plum tea that had just been wasted.

Mu Qianxi stood up from the bench, straightened his robe, and then sneezed inappropriately, Yanqiu is really cold, and the wind is cold.

"Robbing a good woman and man in broad daylight" Mu Qianxi paused, feeling weird, "At the feet of the empress, have you eaten leopard gall!" Mu Qianxi's voice was not loud, but her aura gave the two officials a feeling of oppression, and the two officials looked at each other. They are not stupid, they know that they are extraordinary when they look at Mu Qianxi's dress, such a big man is not something they offended, and they don't know how such an inconspicuous little plum tea shop attracted her, and then glared at the beaten half-dead old woman and her man, they all blame the old woman for having such a good-looking man, and blame this man for not seeing him on weekdays, but he came out at this time, so that the two of them met the lustful heart, and then they met Mu Qianxi.

"The adults are offended, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offended you, let's go" The two officials got up from the ground and escaped from the plum tea shop, and the surrounding people cheered.

Mu Qianxi and the man helped the old woman up, and the old woman cried bitterly, and she was still thanking Mu Qianxi with blood in her mouth. Mu Qianxi shook his head and threw a piece of silver to a guest who was watching the excitement, "Go and call a doctor, and I'll give you the rest" The man hurriedly thanked him and ran out quickly. The man helped the old woman to lie on the bed, Mu Qianxi walked to the basin and wanted to wet the towel to wipe the old woman's face, the man ran up and grabbed the towel, and said apologetically to Mu Qianxi, "Don't dare to bother the adult, thank you for it, I'll do this little thing myself" Mu Qianxi pursed her lips and said nothing, she could see the anxiety in the man's eyes, he really loved this old woman, and he couldn't do anything for her now, he could only wipe his face and shed tears, this feeling Mu Qianxi respected, let him come by himself.

The doctor came soon, Mu Qianxi left two ingots of silver and left here, the wind in Yanqiu was really cold.
