Chapter 129: Taste of the Heavy Daigo
"Xiao Er~ on the pot of tea!"
Xu Shangao and Sheng Linyun walked into a simple teahouse built along the street, at this time on Chang'an Street, the flow of people was still relatively small, and they were all stalls set up by vendors.
"Two of you~ so early! Xiao Er hasn't come yet! What kind of tea do you two want to drink? The boss put down his work and beckoned the two.
"Any tea is fine~" Xu Shangao found a place to sit down at random.
"Okay~" The boss responded happily and got busy.
"Linyun~ Do you remember the first time I went to the piano tower with you?" Xu Shangao's face was filled with rare sadness.
"Remember! You said that it was in a piano building that your brother took you back from Chang'an to meet by chance, and since then your love for piano art has been out of control! Sheng Linyun's tone was light, trying to fit Xu Shangao's mood as much as possible.
"It was my brother who put me in the piano building, and I can't remember a lot of things when I was a child, but there is one thing I always remember... When he came to pick me up again, his whole body had been dyed red, and he looked very little decadent, but he still had a smile, and the guests of the piano building avoided him, only I couldn't wait to run up, I asked him what he was stained on, and he said it was cinnabar! Xu Shan Gao spoke eloquently, his eyes staring at the empty cup in his hand.
"And then?" Sheng Linyun asked.
"The smell of my brother's body is terrible, but I have written down the smell, how can a scholar not know cinnabar? You're right? Xu Shangao glanced at Sheng Linyun helplessly and continued, "Since then, for a long time, I have never smelled that smell and such a bright red color again, until I cut my hand while making the piano, and the bright red color immediately reminded me that my brother was full of blood at that time!" ”
"So yesterday in the Shuiqing Mountains, when you saw the blood dripping from Rukaka's shoulder, you lost your mind and remembered your brother?" Sheng Linyun said with a little concern.
Xu Shangao nodded: "My brother must have a secret!" I vaguely remember that he had an official position in Chang'an, the kind that was particularly busy, I lived in Mingyue Academy, and sometimes I could see each other in a hurry for a long time, but then he accompanied me all day long, never leaving! ”
"He doesn't tell you that he naturally has his intentions, I don't think you need to dwell too much on this!" Sheng Linyun comforted.
Xu Shangao immediately took over the words and asked eagerly, "Linyun, if one day, you know that you are about to pass away, will you hide it?" ”
Sheng Linyun was silent for a moment before nodding slowly.
"The reason why I know how to do some three-legged cat kung fu is also because I am afraid that my brother will leave me somewhere again, I hope to face any problems with him, but unfortunately I was too comfortable in the mountains later, I almost forgot these things" Xu Shangao scratched his head and looked extremely impatient.
"Mr. Xu~ Let's not tell you what your brother's secrets are, have you forgotten why you came to Chang'an?" Sheng Linyun's words changed, and he looked at Xu Shangao firmly.
"Me?" Xu Shangao looked at Sheng Linyun suspiciously, "In order to gain fame and repay the country~"
Sheng Linyun's eyes regained their original brilliance, "The reason why Mr. Xu has been protected is related to his own strength, and when he can be on his own one day, he will naturally be able to stand by his brother's side!" ”
Xu Shangao carefully pondered Sheng Linyun's words and felt that it was not unreasonable: "Am I too weak?" ”
"The tea is coming~" The owner of the teahouse carried a pot of freshly brewed tea and poured it for the two, and then put down the teapot and walked away, "Please use it slowly, these are all new products~"
Sheng Linyun saw that Xu Shangao's negative attitude had improved, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Poof~ Why is it so bitter!" ”
Xu Shangao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, while the teahouse owner hurriedly ran over.
"This is Kuding tea~" Xu Shangao's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to the boss and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a high-quality tea here~ According to common sense!" Only big tea merchants will travel thousands of miles to Nanzhao to buy this tea, and they will be monopolized and only sold to affiliated teahouses! ”
"Childe really knows the goods, this is Kuding tea!" The boss, who was afraid of neglecting the guests, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's the first time I've drunk it, and I've only seen it in books," Sheng Linyun felt a little rude and glanced at the boss apologetically.
"Childe doesn't like it, I'll change another pot, this pot is my gift!" The teahouse owner said generously.
"No need! No more! Sheng Linyun picked up the teacup again and forced himself to take a sip, and then sniffed the teacup, indicating that it tasted good.
"This tea is a rare thing, boss, you are too generous, it can't be made of herbs, right?" Xu Shangao tasted it again and compared it with Sheng Linyun's 'swallowing tea', he could see at a glance whether he liked to drink it.
"Son, what did you say, I bought it all from the Luzhuang tea merchant, how can Lord Lu's tea be fake?" The teahouse owner explained proudly.
"Lord Lu?" Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao stopped their movements at the same time, and their eyes quickly focused on the owner of the tea house.
"It's... Yes~" The owner of the tea house was startled by the sudden eyes of the two, and quickly explained, "Two sons, I know that this tea is expensive, but I bought it from the tea merchant seriously, and the price is really not expensive!" I heard that there is enough surplus tea in Nanzhao, so the tea merchants under Prince Lu deliberately bought more to meet the needs of the people in Chang'an City, and naturally they will no longer monopolize it~"
'Nanzhao? Pu'er Kuding? Tea merchants? Sheng Linyun's mind flashed the words that Xiao Wenjin had written, and felt that there must be some inevitable connection in it.
"It's a rarity, can anyone buy it?" Xu Shangao asked.
"That's not it, you need to buy a certain amount to sell you, if you want to drink, you should come to my tea shop to drink, hehe!" The owner of the teahouse smiled proudly, thinking that Xu Shangao also wanted to buy some tea, "Son, you drink first, I won't be busy when there are more people later!" ”
"Mr. Xu, Xiao Wenjin's life experience seems to be related to Nanzhao and tea merchants!" Sheng Linyun said in a low voice.
"Tea is like wine, the more it sinks, the more fragrant it is, how can it be too redundant~" Xu Shangao was also puzzled, "It sounds like it's in a hurry to dispose of a large amount of tea." ”
"This Lu Qiming must have a ghost, but with his background in Chang'an City, it is not something that our two fledgling boys can shake~" Sheng Linyun unconsciously bit his thumb.
"Xu Liangfeng?" Xu Shangao reminded.
"He is like the emperor, even if we see him in person with a token, we can't tell it clearly with two mouths!" Sheng Linyun shook his head thoughtfully.
Suddenly, the two colleagues raised their heads, looked at each other and smiled, "Fan!" Child! ”
