Chapter 534: Tea Seeds Enter the Palace

Su Xiaoman's set of kung fu tea is becoming more and more skillful, Lu Li is a little amazed at how many times she has made kung fu tea to drink these days, but she has only seen it once, and that time she was distracted by preparing a surprise for her, and she didn't see it seriously.

The refreshing incense elegantly lingered on the table, and the flowing fingertips seemed to be dancing Su Xiaoman's fingers at the moment of pouring the tea, and the transparency of the fingertips appeared in front of him like jade under the faint light.

A touch of fragrant tea was placed in front of Lu Li, and he said softly: "Husband, please drink tea!" ”

A sip of the aftertaste is sweet, and there is a unique taste jumping between the taste buds, as if in the clouds, all the feelings come from brewing a good kung fu tea.

Suddenly, the sound of the guqin echoed in his ears, and Su Xiaoman smiled knowingly: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to sublimate his shop again, there was no guqin music before, but now it has a more artistic conception!" ”

Hearing Su Xiaoman's praise, the shopkeeper who had just come out hurriedly said: "Where, where, these are nothing in front of the princess!" ”

"Shopkeeper, have the tea seeds you ordered before arrived?"

Su Xiaoman raised his eyes slightly, and his words revealed a burst of fairy intent, and his smile fascinated Lu Lisheng.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, that batch of tea seeds arrived two days ago, and now they are kept in the ice cellar in the backyard of the grass people, and they are transported according to the method that the princess said, and the tea seeds are only a few dozen plants, which is very good! But some of them have already sprouted because they are soaked! ”

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, it was indeed good news for Su Xiaoman, after all, it was best to minimize the loss, after all, this silver had to be spent on the blade.

Su Xiaoman didn't know much about the sprouted tea seeds that the shopkeeper said, after all, whether the sprouted tea seeds could still be used had to be asked to know.

Su Xiaoman immediately put down the teapot in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't know what you said about the sprouted tea seeds, can they still be sown?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Yes, tea seeds that have sprouted are naturally more convenient to plant, but a small amount of irrigation will be required in the future, after all, it is easy to soak the seeds after soaking in water for a long time!" ”

"In that case, then ask the shopkeeper to pack all the seeds and prepare them for delivery, and send them to the gate of the palace, and someone will naturally answer them! That's the rest of the silver, you add it up, and if it's right, it's done! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Xiao Yuan to hand a bag of silver to the shopkeeper, and after taking the silver taels, the shopkeeper quickly walked to the counter and put the silver taels.

For now, the planting of tea is going well, and the next thing is to sow seeds, but fortunately, I helped Uncle Yang turn over the soil earlier, which is the right time.

Then the shopkeeper didn't know what he wrote with a pen on the counter, but he walked up to Su Xiaoman respectfully, handed a few pages of rice paper to Su Xiaoman, and said: "Princess, this is the method and steps of planting tea, and the following one is the precautions, I wish you success in opening up Xinjiang!" ”

took the rice paper and looked at it carefully, described the process of planting tea and the things to pay attention to in detail, and looked up and said, "Then thank the shopkeeper first!" ”

The shopkeeper bent down and walked out of the door of the teahouse, shouting: "Done, ready to load the tea seeds and send them to the palace!" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to enter the palace, the shopkeeper was excited, his face was full of surprise, and he responded: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

Hurriedly ran into the backyard of the teahouse, only to hear a few noisy sounds, the backyard people quickly moved the tea seeds in the cellar, quickly separated the sprouted tea seeds, and specially added some soil to plant, in case the germinated seeds died.

There are also a lot of four thousand tea seeds, and the germinated seeds were packed into two carriages, and they were transported in the direction of the palace according to Su Xiaoman's instructions.

Seeing that the hour was almost noon, he tasted a few flavors of tea and got up to go back, and the shopkeeper politely stepped forward with a few bags of famous tea leaves: "Thank you princess for your help, if you need or help, you can come to the grass people in time, these bags of tea will be regarded as gifts!" ”

Xiao Yuan stepped forward to take the tea, and Su Xiaoman said: "Then thank the shopkeeper, we will leave now, I wish you a prosperous business!" ”

I was going to go back like this, but I was stopped by Lu Li halfway through the way, and I was stunned to walk around the market for an hour, and I couldn't bear Su Xiaoman's anxious heart, so I was dragged back.

Su Xiaoman didn't buy anything in the bazaar, but Lu Li bought a lot of things, eating and playing, everything, but this clothes don't need to be bought, after all, there is a special place in the palace to make clothes for them.

When he returned to the palace gate, the shopkeeper had been waiting for a long time, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate did not let him in, which made the shopkeeper jump around in a hurry.

"Hurry up and let me in, this is the tea seed that Her Royal Highness the princess ordered to ask for, if the tea seed wilts later, will you bear this sin?"

The shopkeeper shouted in front of the palace gate that he had to go in, but there was no token given by the emperor or the official badge of the court servant in the palace, and the Praetorian Guards would not let a shopkeeper enter casually.

A burly Praetorian Guard angrily reprimanded: "Let's go, don't yell here, be careful to arrest you, I haven't heard of any princess buying tea seeds, let's go!" ”

Seeing the ice cubes on the carriage that kept the tea seeds melting little by little, it is really summer, and the weather is hot, where can the seeds withstand such high temperatures, and it is just noon, the sun is high in the sky, and even the horses on the side are about to be unbearable.

"Oh, this military master, this is really the tea seed ordered by the princess, you see that the ice cubes have melted into water, and if you don't send it in for a while, the sun should turn into mature seeds!"

The shopkeeper was very anxious in his heart, and he couldn't wait to break in directly, but looking at the weapon in the hand of the Praetorian Guard, he could only stand in front of the palace gate and wait.

At this time, Su Xiaoman was on the way back, and estimated that the shopkeeper should be in a hurry at the gate of the palace, and instructed the groom in front of him: "Hurry up!" ”

If it weren't for Lu Li pulling her around, it wouldn't have been delayed for an hour, the groom scolded, and the carriage sped up, but because of the large crowd in the market, it still had to slow down.

Seeing her anxious appearance, she immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”

Su Xiaoman, who was already anxious, looked at him in surprise and thought: What is he going to do again? Still want to go shopping?

Lu Li quickly got out of the carriage, dismantled the horses in front of him, and said to the groom: "You go and find a horse to send my envoy to the palace." ”

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoman lifted the curtain and asked.

Without waiting for a reaction, Lu Li's big hand stretched out directly to her waist, put her on the back of the horse with a horizontal hug, and rode on the horse's back with a wave of his hand, scolding the horse's buttocks: "Drive!" ”

The two of them rode a horse and disappeared into the vast sea of people, Su Xiaoman was puzzled, and was about to ask him, only to see the gate of the palace getting closer and closer, and it can be seen that the speed difference between riding a horse and riding a carriage is still very large.

Looking at Su Xiaoman's figure, the shopkeeper seemed to have seen a rescuer, and he didn't care about the sprint of the horses, so he jumped forward and shouted: "Princess, the little one is here!" ”

"Phew"

Stopping the horses, Lu Li gave an order: "Open the door!" ”

Seeing that it was Lu Li and Su Xiaoman, the Praetorian Guards immediately opened the palace gate respectfully, and the carriage of the shopkeeper also entered the palace smoothly after being strictly inspected by the Praetorian Guards.

Stopping at the cargo handling place in the palace city, Lu Li got off the horse first, and then hugged Su Xiaoman off the horse, and instructed the attendant: "Deliver the goods of these two carriages to the Imperial Garden!" ”

Several attendants listened respectfully to the order, and carried a few boxes of tea seeds in the direction of the imperial garden.

I had never seen such a magnificent palace city, and the shopkeeper turned around several times and exclaimed: "Wow, wow, this palace is really splendid!" ”

A palace road with no end in sight made him even more amazed, where the road in front of him leads, how big is this palace, such a big place in front of him is just a place to unload goods in the palace, and then exclaimed: "I don't know what the emperor looks like today!" ”

Looking at his novel appearance, Su Xiaoman stepped forward and said: "Since you are here, why don't I go to the Imperial Garden, although the shopkeeper has written the methods and precautions for planting tea, but if you are pointing on the side, will it be better?" ”

"Well, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know anything, the shopkeeper is my father, and he knows best how to grow tea!"

can have the opportunity to enter the palace, why don't you go and watch it, it is rare for Su Xiaoman to appreciate it, and the shopkeeper is naturally willing to go with her.

"Okay, but there are a few things you have to remember, don't talk nonsense, don't walk around four times, and look indecently, otherwise you will violate the rules of this palace, and I won't be able to protect you!"

After listening to Su Xiaoman's instructions, the shopkeeper just sneaked a look at the environment in the palace along the way, and when there were people, he consciously lowered his head and didn't look around.

Lu Li had promised to go to the Imperial Garden to help Uncle Yang be a flower farmer, but he had no time because he was on duty before, so he happened to be off today, so he went with him by the way.

The huge imperial garden amazed the shopkeeper, and he praised again and again: "What a fairyland on earth!" These flowers and plants grow so well! ”

The waiter has already delivered the tea seeds to the Imperial Garden, and informed Uncle Yang that the two acres of vacant land have been almost turned over, and when the wooden box is opened, a large number of tea seeds are wrapped very well, and there is no damage at all.

"Uncle Yang, these seeds are not bad!"

Su Xiaoman never used his identity to oppress people, so he treated Uncle Yang like his own family, seeing Su Xiaoman coming, Uncle Yang saluted her according to the rules of the palace.

"The old slave knocks on Her Royal Highness!"

An old bone is very powerful, and he can still afford the hoe in his hand.
