Tea, once made "Tu".

There have been many nicknames and interesting names, as well as many different names and writings, and then after a lot of screening, simplification and unification, it was determined.

People have life, tea has tea life, and life is like tea life, which is nothing more than ups and downs.

People have character, and tea has tea virtue. Many tea scholars are studying the theory of tea virtue, and so far they still have different opinions, but in the pursuit of perfection, beauty, truth and purity, there is nothing to say, tea virtue is nothing more than the moral requirements of tea drinkers.

"Then, miss, do you have tea virtue?" Green orange looked at the bustling crowd on the tea street and said curiously to Qi Shu.

"Silly." Mo Zhu criticized the green orange, since the young lady told them a lot of common sense about tea since she came out, she has been deeply interested in it since she was a child, and she has studied it, even if she has no understanding, she can't learn from other families?

There was no answer to Lu Tangerine's question about her, Qi Shu just smiled and said: "If you are deeply interested in tea, the ancestors once wrote the book "The Book of Tea", which is a good book from tea picking and production to tea tasting and research. ”

"Got it, miss." Green orange stuck out her tongue, and she was reading again, she didn't like to read!

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Qi Shu said.

They also just arrived, new tea came out before and after the Qingming Festival, and the largest tea street in Shaoliang City was here, and Qi Shu and Ning Ze discussed coming here to eat tea, but the two did not go together, but met in the tea street when they arrived.

Acquaintances and acquaintances all know that the good tea and new tea over the years are all stored here, except for the tribute to the palace. The people who like tea in Shaoliang City will come here. Those who come and go to do the tea business will also come here to occupy a place and seek some wealth.

Therefore, the businessmen who come and go from all over the world have brought the good tea from all over the world to Shaoliang for people to taste, and the new tea party every year is the most anticipated, and the liveliness is not inferior to any festival event, and the scale is also eye-catching.

Because this is the most valued event before and after the Qingming Festival, the government also stipulates that Shangxin tea can only be on this tea street, one shop at a time, which is also convenient for management. The officials specially sent a detachment of officers and soldiers to maintain order and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

Qi Shuping does not have much hobbies, that is, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, looking at the grand scene of this tea street, I can't help but be overjoyed, and being able to come to the tea party not only responds to my own interests, but also appreciates the folk customs.

"Miss, it's so lively here!" Green orange sighed, although she also likes to go shopping when she is at home, but she has no interest in drinking tea, so she rarely comes to the tea street, and she has only heard of this new tea party, and now it seems that it is really a pity that she didn't come earlier.

There are about 100 shops on the tea street, and all kinds of signboards, both horizontally and vertically. There was a crowd of men, women, young and old, all of whom came to eat tea, and it was a new tea.

As the saying goes: and try new tea with new fire, poetry and wine while the years are in their prime.

In front of each shop, there are masters who set up stalls to set up stoves to demonstrate the skills of sencha, boiling, making tea, and making tea on the spot.

Some of the teahouses are some experienced people hired by the owner who are familiar with the art of making tea. These people are revered as Dr. Tea. The tea doctors not only have superb tea cooking skills, but also come into contact with a large number of people, and have some knowledge and knowledge, which is very respected.

There is the largest platform in the center of this tea street, which is a place dedicated to holding "tea battles".

Every year, the tea party specially established in the tea street will fund the holding of the tea battle.

The so-called "tea fight" is also known as "fighting tea" and "fighting tea", which is a kind of elegant play in the Wei Kingdom, and the origin is now unexaminable.

Tea farmers and tea customers will rank the good and inferior of new tea, which is very interesting, but of course there are risks.

The spectators watched the excitement, and the tea owners who participated in the tea war will take out their new tea for people to taste, and select the best tea, so as to determine the superior, especially the first place of new tea, which will receive special attention.

The content of the tea competition includes: the hue and aroma of the tea leaves, the mellowness of the tea soup, the quality of the tea set, and the urgency of boiling water.

If you lose in the tea battle, it is equivalent to smashing your own signboard, so every time you participate in the tea battle, you will be cautious. The so-called taste of tea and thousands of noodles, the taste of this tea is different, even if it is not pulled up, it is nothing, but the tea shop that won the jackpot in the tea war will take advantage of it, this is just the idea of some small tea shops, and many large tea shops are actively participating in the tea war.

As for why, this is because every year there will be a tea owner who wins the jackpot, in addition to the full bounty, the tea street will put up a special notice for him at the end of the street, and there is also a one-year shop tax exemption, this lottery is not not unrich.

Of course, unless you are a tea owner who is particularly confident in your new tea, you really don't dare to go up casually.

Tea owners who participate in the tea war need to apply for the tea party spontaneously formed by the tea street more than a month in advance, of course, there are also famous and powerful people who specially recommend which one, in short, the threshold is not particularly high, as long as your new tea is good enough.

Because it is so grand and lively and innovative, Qi Shu also wants to come to see this long-brewing tea event this year.

Spring is like flowing water, and it has been some time since I last saw Ning Ze. If it weren't for the fact that the tea party was approaching, Ning Ze handed over the post, and suddenly he had just seen him last night, and he really couldn't keep the spring light.

During this time, Qi Shu didn't go out much, he was honestly squatting at home, and the days were calm and comfortable, and the Liuguo Mansion knew about Liu Ruofeng following Qi Shu to the spring outing, and specially sent a lot of gifts.

Liu Guogong even wrote a letter to ask Qi Shu to go to the Guogong Mansion more often when he had nothing to do. Qi Shu was really flattered, he felt embarrassed, and hurriedly returned a lot of gifts.

But this excitement belongs to Qi Shangshu, how much honor is it to be able to have a relationship with the Guogong Mansion? praised Qi Shu for several days, and sent a lot of good things to Qi Shu, which made Qi Shu smile bitterly.

For Liu Guogong, she sincerely admires it. Thinking of the scene of drinking tea with Liu Guogong last time, Qi Shu secretly decided that if he encountered good tea later, he must buy more and give it to Guogong Mansion, presumably Liu Guogong was also very happy.

Unconsciously, the three of them had followed the flow of people to the tea street tea battle platform, and the platform was very large, with many lanterns and colorful decorations.

In the very center of the tea street, the pillar is more than three zhang high, sitting in the north and facing south, the tea guests are watching on three sides, and the judges are sitting on the north side of the platform, and the center is the place for tea fighting.

"Miss, miss, there!" As if he had suddenly discovered something, the green orange pulled Qi Shu's arm and shook it twice, pointing in a direction, signaling Qi Shu to hurry up and take a look.

Qi Shu looked in the direction he pointed, and what he saw turned out to be Ning Ze, who was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant opposite the Ming Zhan Terrace, sitting next to the window, with the window wide open, looking at the scene below, holding a tea cup in his hand, and meeting Qi Shu's gaze between his low eyebrows.

Qi Shu just wanted to smile back, but Ning Ze looked away coldly, there was no trace of freezing temperature in his eyes, Qi Shu was shocked when he saw it, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.

What's going on? How is this attitude like this? Why did you change your face again? Wasn't it okay last time? A little indignation suddenly rose in my heart, how could this person be so moody.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs to see the prince." Qi Shu said with some annoyance.

Mo Zhu and Green Tang glanced at each other, this, why did Miss's face suddenly fall? It's fine just now.

After Qi Shu went upstairs angrily to find Xiao Er and inquired about Ning Ze's location, Xiao Er was a little apprehensive and said that it was in the first room on the left hand on the second floor, although Xiao Er's attitude was a little strange, but she didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just because it was Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, who was upstairs, so Xiao Er was a little frightened.

Pedaling upstairs, Qi Shu was about to go in to greet him "politely", but he didn't expect that there were two guards standing at the door of the private room, looking tall and strong, with a fierce and intimidating face, looking like a posture that no one should approach.

When did you have this guard? I've never seen such a guard by Ning Ze's side before? Odd?

Mo Zhu saw that Qi Shu stood still and wanted to go in, so he stepped forward and said for Qi Shu: "King Guanghan is here?" The lord of my family, Qingming, asked to see him. ”

The door of the private room was wide open, and only the hanging bamboo curtains. Outside conversations can naturally be heard.

The maid's words came in, and Ji Xue and Ning Ze looked in the direction of the door at the same time.

Ning Ze frowned slightly, he saw Qi Shu, but didn't he glare at her just now? That means I don't really want to see her now, why did she rush to catch up? He hasn't figured out a way to send the person in front of him away, isn't this coming to make trouble for him?

There were two people sitting in the private room, one was Ning Ze, who had been waiting for Qi Shu for a long time, and the other was Princess Ji Xue of Bao'an, who knew that Ning Ze had come here to meet on purpose.

Seeing Ning Ze's slightly nervous appearance, Ji Xue smiled slightly and said, "Since she is the county lord of Qingming, then invite her in." Ji Xue said as if unintentionally, but her eyes were carefully staring at Ning Ze's reaction, for fear of missing his expression.

Ning Ze could feel it, so his face was even more cold and ruthless, but Ji Xue was sneering in his heart, pretending, continuing to pretend.

The guards outside heard the princess's words and stood up to let the people in.

Qi Shu also seemed to notice that there seemed to be someone else inside, and when he heard the female voice, he wanted to run away in an instant, it seems that it was not the right time, no wonder Ning Ze's expression was so cold just now, it turned out that he was chatting with people and eating wine.

"Since the prince has a guest, then Qi Shu won't bother much." Qi Shu also turned around neatly and wanted to leave, which was disturbing others, which was not good.

"Wait, the princess said let you in." The guard stepped forward and blocked Qi Shu's way, his eyes signaling that Qi Shu had to go in.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Shu squeezed out a polite and decent smile, but his heart couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to raise his feet and walk in.

The two people sitting opposite each other at the tea table, Ning Ze, who was dressed in a white moire robe with a golden crown and a golden crown, was pinching the tea cup, not looking at Qi Shu, staring at his own tea cup. The bright yellow one turned around and smiled at Qi Shu.

Playful and lively, round-eyed goose egg face, plump and cute, a cherry mouth is the most cute and pleasing when she laughs, it looks natural and harmless, like an unguarded little girl, who is this Of course Qi Shu recognizes, Princess Wei, Ji Xue.

When Qi Shu looked at Ji Xue, Ji Xue also looked at her.

Wearing a peach-pink dress, her hair is tied with a wooden hairpin, and there are no additional decorations on her body, which is very simple and simple. The makeup is also light and undecorated, if it weren't for the light lips, it would really be plain.

The appearance is average, the figure is average, the temperament is average, and the overall is average. That's it? That's just the case, are the people in Shaoliang City blind? Such a match to compete with her?
