On the other side of the Governor's Palace, the study

With both hands, Governor Hu respectfully handed a white porcelain cup painted with gold and color to Lord Lin, the governor who was sitting behind the bookcase and wearing a five-bat longevity pattern robe.

Governor Hu bowed his waist, and said respectfully: "Lord Governor, this is the tea that the Zhuang family wants to offer to the emperor, and I invite Lord Lin to taste it himself." ”

The Governor was nearly fifty years old, with a white face, a thin countenance, and his eyes slightly squinted, but when he opened them suddenly, he was a 'fine' light. He glanced at Hu Zhifu silently, then picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip slowly, and frowned slightly: "Although this tea is not bad, it is worse than other tribute teas, what good things have not been tried by the emperor?" Where can this kind of goods be looked down upon, in case the emperor is in a bad mood, and a disrespectful crime comes down, none of us can afford it. ”

Governor Hu still owed, looked at the governor and whispered: "Your Excellency, although this tea is not as good as Longjing Tiger Hill, there is a very touching legend......

The Governor raised his eyes, and his eyes flashed, "Legend? What legend? ”

"A legend about the filial piety of a father and a son......" Hu Zhifu looked at the governor and said word by word.

The Governor's eyes rolled, he stood up, paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he stopped, "In that case, you can try." ”

The emperor has been in power for so many years, what good things in the world have not been tasted? But because I've tried everything, even the best things are numb. Only what can touch his heart can win his favor. The emperor's biggest heart problem now is probably that the sons under him are all older, each has their own ideas, and they are beginning to gradually break free from his control......

"My lord, as long as the second room of the dealer gets the tribute tea, we can successfully win the position of the tea shop as a family member, and at that time, the largest tea shop in Yangcheng can completely fall under our control!" Lord Hu approached the Governor and said, "Now, the emperor has ordered the opening of the sea ban, and the Shengshi Tea House is second to none in terms of scale and financial resources among the tea merchants in the entire south, and when the time comes, we can use all kinds of convenience to sell tea overseas, I heard that our tea is very easy to sell overseas, and it will be an income that is not less than the salt business!" ”

After saying this, Governor Lin was overjoyed, he turned around and patted Governor Hu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jingzhi is so loyal and hardworking, he will succeed in the king's day, and he should be remembered for his first credit!" ”

Governor Hu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down and arched his hand: "Everything depends on the cultivation of adults!" ”

Governor Lin patted him on the shoulder a few times, raised his head and laughed a few times, and then said: "The holy car will soon arrive in Yangcheng, and he will be more restrained during this time, so don't alarm the emperor." ”

"Yes."

Plum Fragrance Garden

A man in his thirties, dressed as a servant, entered the courtyard and was taken by the big girl magpie to Zhuang Mingxi's small study to talk back.

Zhuang Mingxi was practicing calligraphy, and he didn't raise his eyes when he saw people coming in, and his pen kept writing, and he asked lightly: "What's the movement?" ”

The servant bent down and replied very respectfully: "Back to the fourth miss, the fourth miss let the little one stare at the eldest young master and the eldest young 'milk' and 'milk' during this time." The little one has not relaxed, and he sent people to keep an eye on the Qingsong Courtyard and the tea shop every day, but he saw that the eldest young master's little servant Haifu and the big shopkeeper had gone out a few times. ”

Zhuang Mingxi paused and raised his eyes: "Have you asked someone to follow them, do you know where they went?" ”

"Haifu went to the mansions of officials at all levels in the city to pay their respects, but those officials did not see them."

At this time, Zhuang Xinchuan walked in with a smile and said loudly: "Sister, I'll just say that you are too careful, Master Hu has already 'handed over' the generation, don't try to find the 'door' to approach the emperor over there!" ”

The magpie and the servant called out to the second young master, Zhuang Xinchuan waved his hand and asked them to go down, but Zhuang Mingxi told the manservant: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on them." ”

Then he looked at Zhuang Xinchuan and said lightly: "Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, I always feel that with the eldest mother's person, I should not be unprepared!" ”

"How can she prepare for a blind man?" Zhuang Xinchuan lifted the robe with the stone blue 'color' treasure and 'flower' pattern, sat down on the chair opposite Zhuang Mingxi, looked at his sister and said with a smile: "My uncle-in-law sent someone to pass the word just now, and he will personally offer our tea when it arrives, and our tribute tea this time is stable!" ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingxi couldn't help but 'show' some joy, she put down the pen in her hand and walked out to Zhuang Xinchuan with a slight blessing, and said with a smile: "My sister is here to congratulate my brother first." ”

Zhuang Xinchuan laughed a few times proudly, and when he saw what he remembered, he suddenly restrained his smile again. Zhuang Mingxi saw that he was busy and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Zhuang Xinchuan said in embarrassment: "Gongzi Xie asked me to meet in Wangjiang Tower tomorrow, he must be thinking about Qin Tian's affairs with me, and I don't know how to 'hand' over." ”

Zhuang Mingxi raised his head and sneered: "What needs to be 'handed over' to him, we don't owe him, if he dares to belittle me because of a maid, I don't want to marry him!" Thinking of the slap Qin Tian received, Zhuang Mingxi still hated herself in her heart, although she loved Nicholas Tse's handsomeness and the wealth of the Xie family, but when she thought that she was not as good as a maid in his mind, there were countless unwillingness and resentment in her heart, and she would rather not marry this person.

"Sister, don't say such inconsequential things again!" Zhuang Xinchuan's face sank, patted his robe and stood up, as if he was annoyed: "The marriage event is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker!" If it weren't for the presence of your uncle, do you think your aunt would let you climb up to such a good family? If you squirm again, she will be the first to be happy! The Xie family is of great use to us, don't spoil everyone's good deeds! ”

After speaking, he snorted and brushed his sleeves away

Zhuang Mingxi looked at his brother's back, his face flushed with anger, and tears rolled in his eyes. She suddenly 'crumpled' the paper on the table for practicing calligraphy, and threw it on the ground in a dejected manner.

She thinks about her brother, but his brother doesn't care about her mood at all......

She couldn't help but bite her lip.

A four-horse carriage with green forging and dark sleeves slowly drove out of the big 'gate' of the dealer's house, and two people poked their heads out of the secret place next to the big 'door'.

One of them is Zhang Quan, the subordinate who talked back to Zhuang Mingxi in Meixiangyuan. He said to another younger man beside him, dressed in a grey coarse cloth robe, "Do you hear where they have gone?" ”

The man replied: "I heard that I went to Liu's house, the mother's house of Da Shao's 'milk' and 'milk'. （ ）”

Zhang Quan frowned: "Didn't you go there when the three dynasties returned to the 'door'?" ”

"I heard that Liu's illness and the young man's 'milk' and the eldest young master have gone."

Zhang Quan nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are fast, follow first, don't lose it." I'll come later. ”

The man said yes and ran out in a puff of smoke.

Zhang Quan turned around and called two more people to follow.

On the carriage, Qin Tian quietly lifted the curtain of the car and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a person sneakily trotting behind not far behind.

I laughed in my heart, how come these people have no technical content in tracking?

She turned her head and pointed to the back of Zhuang Xinyan next to her, Zhuang Xinyan glanced back, smiled slightly, and looked like he knew his chest.

He wrote on a piece of paper: "Everything goes according to plan, see if they keep up!" He raised his eyes to look at Qin Tian, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he had a rare vitality. It's like the 'spring' snow melting, and a hundred 'flowers' blooming, which makes people's eyes shine and feel comfortable.

"Yes, our Young Master Zhuang is the smartest!" Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.

Zhuang Xinyan had already discovered that someone was watching, so he simply calculated it, making the other party think that they were running around in Yangcheng and were at a loss, so that the other party could relax his vigilance. In fact, Zhuang Xinyan had other plans.

Hearing Qin Tian's appreciation, Zhuang Xinyan raised his eyebrows, obviously very happy.

Qin Tian suddenly approached him and blinked, with a strange expression, "They like to run so much, why don't you let them run faster?" ”

Zhuang Xinyan rolled his eyes, immediately understood what she meant, and smiled again, his eyes shining on his face through the car window, reflecting his noble and handsome like a beautiful 'jade'.

Qin Tian blinked again, decisively didn't turn his head, and shouted outside the car: "Haifu, hurry up the carriage." ”

"Okay." Outside the car, Haifu replied, and then there was the sound of a whip, and after a while, the carriage seemed to fly.

Qin Tian turned his head and looked at the stalker running wildly outside the car, covering his mouth and laughing.

Soon arrived at Liu's Mansion, the two got off the carriage at the 'door', Qin Tian deliberately slowed down his movements, and after a while, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the person who was following him, hiding in the alley not far away, panting as if he was about to lose his breath, Qin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, nodded to Zhuang Xinyan, and the two entered the banker's house together.

After a while, Zhang Quan also came with someone, and when he looked left and right, he saw his subordinate beckoning to him not far away, and hurriedly walked over.

"How?" Zhang Quan asked.

He gasped for breath and replied, "I just went in, and I watched them go in with my own eyes." ”

As he spoke, another Zhulun carriage drove up to the 'gate' of Liu's mansion, and a pair of men and 'women' stepped down from the carriage. Zhang Quan glanced at it casually, and saw that the man was wearing a dark blue 'colored' robe, and the 'woman' was wearing a light green 'colored' gown, and entered the 'door' together. ”

The two took the order and left.

Several people guarded outside the 'door' for about an hour and a half, and then saw a pair of male 'women' walked out, Zhang Quan recognized from their clothes that it was the male 'female' guest who went first, at this time the 'female' lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and seemed to be 'sobbing', and the man turned his back to Zhang Quan, hugged the waist of the 'female', and comforted him softly. Zhang Quan watched them get into the Zhulun carriage, and after Shi Shi left, he turned his face and continued to stare at the big 'gate', not paying attention to the scene just now.

On the Zhulun carriage, the 'woman' took down the handkerchief to cover her mouth, glanced out quietly from the curtain of the car, and then turned back and smiled at the man next to her, "I finally got rid of them." ”

This pair of men and women is Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan who are disguised and disguised, and the pair of men and women who went in before are also the people they arranged, and after they turned their clothes, they slipped out under Zhang Quan's nose.

It's not that I'm afraid of Zhang Quan, it's just that this time I must act secretly, and there must be no trace of 'exposure', otherwise it will only give them a chance to destroy, and they must continue to 'confuse' and 'confuse' their opponents until the day they successfully get the tribute tea.

Qin Tian was only happy, but he didn't notice the hand that Zhuang Xinyan still put on her waist, Zhuang Xinyan secretly rejoiced, quietly got closer, and almost held her in his arms.

Just as he was enjoying the soft 'jade' warm fragrance in his arms, Qin Tian suddenly noticed it, first looked at the hand on his waist, and then looked straight at him.

Zhuang Xinyan seemed to have just noticed, let go of his hand with an innocent face, and his clear eyes seemed to say, "I didn't mean to, I didn't pay attention to ......"

Qin Tian's eyes rolled, and he looked at him for a while, his eyes becoming clearer and more innocent.

Qin Tian was unsure again, feeling that the other party might really not mean it......

Haifu's voice came from outside the 'door': "Da Shao's 'milk' and 'milk', where are you going now." ”

Qin Tian first looked at Zhuang Xinyan and smiled, and then said to Haifu: "Go to the governor's ya's 'door'!" ”
