Zhong Weiwei didn't dare to go out, but Fang Jian was in a hurry, he finally got the list of Dongling people to participate in the tea fighting conference, and wanted to send it to Zhong Weiwei, but he didn't dare to enter the door of the Dayan Gang.

I had to find a way to buy off the cook who broke the rudder and brought a letter to Xiaotang, saying that he wanted to see Zhong Weiwei.

Zhong Weiwei entrusted the helmsman of the Dayan Gang to divide the rudder, and took advantage of the dead of night to quietly transport Fang Jian in.

After the two talked, Zhong Weiwei could basically determine that there was indeed something wrong with Mei's inquiry.

This problem may have had a big impact on his tea fighting skills, causing him to be uncertain about whether he can defeat his opponents.

That's why I said that I would lead a team to participate in the meeting, but I would not necessarily make a move.

If Mei Xun doesn't make a move, then, if Chen Shaoming, Nan Xiaoqiao, Huang Xinchan, Mo Lao and others cooperate tacitly, the chance of winning is at least seventy percent. She didn't have to show her face anymore.

If Mei inquired about it, it wouldn't be necessarily, and he had to think of new countermeasures.

Zhong Weiwei sent Fang Jian back: "Find out what happened to Mei Xun, and then come and tell me as soon as possible." ”

On the third day, the Fangda Pavilion selects the tea masters who will participate in the tea fight this year, and the selection competition is open, and the entire capital will participate, including the emperor, who will also go out of the palace to watch the battle, and the importance of the excitement is second only to the tea fight.

Zhong Wei got up before dawn, wanting to go out to see the excitement, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by the people of the Thirteen Guards.

So he fidgeted and chased Brother Liang several times and asked, "Have you heard cicadas chirping these days?" ”

"Did they withdraw?"

"They're not going to tryout, are they?"

Brother Liang replied to her expressionlessly: "I didn't hear the cicadas, but I didn't hear the cicadas at the end of the work, of course, maybe when they finished work, their subordinates fell asleep." ”

"As long as Your Majesty goes, the Thirteen Guards will definitely be at the selection meeting! This is a question that you can think of with your thumb and foot. ”

The last question was answered by Xiaotang instead of Brother Liang, and she looked at Zhong Weiwei with disdain: "If you want to go, you just want to look at Your Majesty from a distance in the crowd, and we won't laugh at you." ”

Zhong Weiwei gritted his teeth and clapped: "Go!" ”

When she went out this time, she didn't dress up as a noble son, but pushed Xiaotang out, dressed Xiaotang as a chubby little daughter-in-law, and she dressed up as Xiaotang's grandmother and went to see the selection meeting together.

Here's how the rules of the selection meeting were.

There can only be six tea masters who can participate in the tea fighting conference, of which three places are for the locality, one place is for the capital, and the remaining two places are in the hands of Chen Junqing, the great priest of tea, and one is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

In other words, Dajicha can participate in the tea fighting conference by himself, or he can give this quota to anyone;

His Majesty the Emperor can also specially recommend people who he thinks are very good, and directly enter the tea fighting conference without going through the selection competition.

The remaining four places will depend on the tea masters to fight for each other.

In order to save time, there are two stands, one for the rest of the tea master competition, and the other for the tea master competition in the capital.

Zhong Weiwei and Xiaotang stood under the big sun and went to watch the competitions of tea masters from all over the world.

Nan Xiaoqiao, Mo Lao, and Huang Xincian are all popular candidates this year, Zhong Weiwei walked around, and basically knew the result.

Then she went to watch the tea master competition in the capital, and according to her discussion with Chen Shaoming, it was for Chen Shaoming to win the place.

There are two considerations for this.

First, because Chen Shaoming had never represented Liguo in a formal tea fight before, although his reputation was loud, he had no actual military exploits.

If you can start with the most basic selection competition and go up step by step, you can make those who question Chen Shaoming shut up and surrender sincerely.

The second reason is that a place must be set aside in order to deal with the changes on the Dongling side.

If Mei Xun can't be on, then pick another tea master, and if Mei Xun suddenly wants to go, then Zhong Weiwei will temporarily make up for it.

This is a selection competition with almost no suspense, and before Chen Shaoming arrived, several local tea masters in the capital were fighting against each other.

Zhong Weiwei felt bored after watching it for a while, and the sun was too big, so he couldn't stand the heat, so he planned to find a place to drink tea and rest first, eat something, and wait until Chen Shaoming came.

But I heard a sudden commotion in the crowd, and someone said loudly: "Miss Zhong from Taifu Mansion has come to sign up!" ”

Zhong Weiwei and Xiaotang glanced at each other and stopped together.

Under the big banyan tree on the side of the street, where the registration was made, Zhong Xinran, who was dressed in plain white clothes, was particularly conspicuous.

She was much lighter than before, plain white, delicate and tall, with the long hair of a crow and crow curled into a simple bun, and only a wooden hairpin on it, no fat powder, her expression was silent, and she looked very pitiful.

A group of people pointed behind Zhong Xinran, and there were even some gentlemen, Zhong Xinran's maid and mother-in-law were all angry, but she herself was unaffected at all.

Shao leaning, after the registration was completed, a few people dressed as scholars came out of the crowd, saluted Zhong Xinran respectfully, and whispered something to her.

Zhong Xinran replied to these people's words very kindly, and a woman with dirty body and snow-white hair staggered forward, grabbed Zhong Xinran's snow-white dress and knelt down, begging her to give some money to treat the children at home.

The people around showed disgusted expressions, and Zhong Xinran's dress was instantly stained with black fingerprints.

Zhong Xinran did not change her expression, and even stretched out her plain white hands, gently helped the woman who asked for food up, and after asking a few words amiably, she asked the girl who was with her to take the money and give it to the woman who asked for food.

The woman knelt down and kowtowed to her, and shouted: "Living Bodhisattva! Miss Zhong is a living bodhisattva! Thank you, the old woman gave you the tablet of immortality! ”

Zhong Xinran still looked gentle and unfazed: "Don't kill me, my parents have taught me to be merciful and poor, I just did what I should do, and I am accumulating virtue for myself, my mother-in-law should go and buy medicine for her grandson to treat his illness." ”

Yun lightly walked away from the woman who asked for food, the girl took a handkerchief to wipe the dirt on her white dress, she brushed the girl's hand away disappreciably, shook her head with a smile, and walked to the tea table.

The crowd erupted in admiration, all of which were praising how good Zhong Xinran was, how gentle and righteous, how kind and lovely.

From her character and family background, it has been said that she is capable and talented, there is nothing in the sky and no earth, even the daughters of the Wei family and the Lu family, as well as the noble daughters of the noble clan in the entire capital, are inferior to her.

Proper first beauty in the capital and the first talented woman in the country.

Xiaotang was dumbfounded, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong, it was an illusion. (To be continued.) )
