Chapter 5 Buying a Tea Garden A chance encounter in a tea house
Besides, in Shu Manyin's private room, after waiting for a short time, Xiao Er came in with a teacup: "This young lady, this tea is ready, you taste it first, the little one is waiting outside the door, you have something to order." ”
Shu Manyin nodded, Comfrey stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for her, Shu Manyin took the tea, and said to the cloves, Comfritty: "It's hard for you to come out, don't be restrained, let's taste it together, this tea has never tasted before." ”
Lilac and Comfrey glanced at each other, nodded and agreed, although they are master and servant, but the eldest lady has always been very good to them, and has never regarded them as subordinates, saying that they are master and servant, more like sisters.
Shu Manyin took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but confirm in her heart: That's right, it's this tea. Lilac and comfrey followed Shu Manyin to taste a lot of good things, and after drinking this tea, she was even more surprised: "Miss, the taste of this tea is very special." ”
Shu Manyin looked at Lilac and smiled: "Yes, this tea is the only one in Beijing, let Xiao Er call the shopkeeper in, I have something to ask." ”
"Yes, miss." Lilac took the order and left.
After a short time, the shopkeeper entered the private room, arched his hand and asked, "I wonder what happened to this young lady calling the little one over?" ”
"Su asked the shopkeeper Chen is a refreshing person, I will get straight to the point, I just tasted this tea, the taste is very like, I don't know if the shopkeeper can tell the source of this tea, I want to buy this tea garden." Shu Manyin's voice was soft, and her moist eyes exposed outside the veil looked at Shopkeeper Chen.
"Miss, I'm afraid this is not very easy to do, this tea is the signboard of my Hongyan Building, I am afraid it is inconvenient." Shopkeeper Chen is worthy of being a businessman, and he can smell business opportunities from these few simple words.
"Chen's shopkeeper's words are a bit too true, this tea is only two or three days old to your teahouse, the whole capital knows this new tea only two or three people, if I didn't accidentally learn, but also just like the taste of this tea, do you think I will put the best clouds, Longjing and so on, do you have to choose this nameless tea?" Shu Manyin was not in a hurry, and slowly used the tea cup to omit the floating leaves.
The shopkeeper Chen's desire to speculate was suddenly exposed to his face, and his face was inevitably a little red, but he also understood that although this tea has a mellow aftertaste and a long aftertaste, there is also a big shortcoming, that is, the entrance of this tea is relatively bitter, and most people are not used to the bitter taste of this tea. He said that just now, but he saw that someone took a fancy to it and wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
"This ......" Seeing that the shopkeeper Chen was still a little hesitant, Shu Manyin opened his mouth and ordered: "Lilac, let's go, it seems that the shopkeeper is not as refreshing as the legend." ”
Seeing that Shu Manyin was really leaving, Shopkeeper Chen was a little anxious, and responded directly: "Wait a minute, since Miss really likes this tea, the small one will also cut love, and it is a coincidence, the owner of this tea garden is now in Hongyan Tower, Miss sat for a while, and the small one called the owner of the tea garden." ”
Shu Manyin sat down leisurely, the reason why she was not in a hurry was because she knew that although the owner of this tea garden was also a scholar, he was a loser, and the family's industry was almost lost, and the old lady was angry with him, but although he was infected with gambling disease, he was a filial piety, and when he saw that his old lady was sick, he did not have the intention of gambling badly, but only wanted to cure the old lady's illness.
So I borrowed some money and bought some tea seeds, but I don't know what went wrong, but the tea was planted, but it was a bitter one. He used his own dead horse as a live horse doctor, picked some tea, and made tea, but unexpectedly found that although the tea was bitter, the aftertaste was relatively mellow.
Seeing that the debt collectors were also coming to the door, all the relatives and friends who could borrow borrowed borrowed it, and then they went to eat the closed door. On the other hand, his mother's body couldn't stand waiting, so he thought about coming to this Hongyanlou to try his luck, this Hongyanlou did not buy his tea garden, just bought some tea to try, and planned to buy it after seeing the advantage, but was asked to buy it by Wei Chi, who came to drink tea later.
After a while, the shopkeeper Chen took the owner of the tea garden to come over and then retreated, the owner of the tea garden heard the shopkeeper say that someone took a fancy to his tea, he was very happy, but on the way to be a little worried, I don't know if the price is reasonable, there is still a big mess of bad debts at home, as well as the old lady's medicine fee.
He only has these acres of tea plantations left for his livelihood, and if he comes ruthlessly, he is afraid that he will eat melons and not mention it, and the old lady is afraid that he will go like this.
He was full of thoughts, and came to the private room with anxiety, but what he saw was a veiled girl, but he would not despise it because he was a girl, you must know that his identity is very small in the capital where he arrests an official, and any one of them is someone he can't afford to provoke.
"This young lady, I don't know what is the matter with calling the villain?" He saluted Shu Manyin.
"I guess the shopkeeper also told you, I like the taste of this tea very much, so I thought, buy this tea garden, I don't know what Mr. thinks." Seeing that he was still wearing a scholar's robe, Shu Manyin took the opportunity to call Mr.
"It's no secret, the villain does intend to sell this tea garden, but there are still sick mothers at home who need to be taken care of by the villain, and I am afraid that it will not be sustainable in the future." He clenched his hands into fists and lowered his body even more.
"Mr. don't be embarrassed, I want to come to Mr. to take care of this tea garden, I also need someone to take care of this tea garden when I buy it, if Mr. doesn't mind, you can continue to take care of it for me, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" After saying that, she waited quietly for an answer.
Sure enough, the owner of the tea garden raised his head with a happy face: "What Miss said is true?" ”
"What my young lady said, naturally, is to do the counting." Comfrey came back to the side.
The owner of the tea garden thought about it, took out the title deed from his arms, and knelt down: "Villain Chen Hai, I am willing to serve the young lady as a dog and horse." He didn't mention the price, but since this young lady has this heart, it can be regarded as sincere, it is better than those vampires who want to occupy their own tea gardens and drive their mother and son out.
A smile appeared on Shu Manyin's face when she lowered her head to drink tea, and gently put the tea cup on the table, Lilac had already taken over the title deed in Chen Hai's hand, Shu Manyin said: "I have also heard about your family's affairs, you take these five hundred taels of silver, take care of those things at home, and take care of the tea garden with peace of mind, I will also go to the tea garden more in the future, you and carefully serve those teas, I have always rewarded and punished clearly, if the food is good, I deserve to be rewarded, if I find anything wrong, I will not be spared." At this, her moist eyes were dyed a little fierce.
In the end, he has been a queen for many years, and the momentum on his body should not be underestimated, which will exert pressure, and it will make Chen Hai back with a layer of fine cold sweat, and he is busy: "The villain Chen Hai will definitely live up to the trust of Miss." After saying that, he kowtowed deeply, he knew in his heart that five hundred taels of silver to buy his tea garden had already been given more, and this young lady didn't know what it was, and the momentum on his body made him feel furious.
"Okay, you can get up too, I'm not a harsh person, you can go to General Anguo's Mansion to find me if you have something in the future." Lilac also handed over a sign representing the identity of the young lady.
Only then did Chen Hai understand that the gentle young lady in front of him was actually the daughter of General Anguo, no wonder, no wonder.
"Ding Xiang, you go to the yamen with Mr. Chen, and you will handle the matter of this title deed today." Shu Manyin said in her heart that this matter should not be sooner rather than later, and she could only feel at ease when it was decided as soon as possible, and then turned her head and said, "Mr. Chen, you will have to worry more about the affairs of the tea garden in the future." ”
Chen Hai has recovered from the shock, Miss Shu is worthy of being the queen of the door, this graceful bearing, not losing to a man, he has no thoughts, this result is beyond his expectations, as long as he can take care of the tea garden with peace of mind, I believe that Miss will not embarrass herself.
After Ding Xiang and Chen Hai saluted, they left for the yamen first. Only Shu Manyin and Comfrey remained.
"Does Miss trust that Chen Hai so much, if he is trustworthy, will he still be so down?" Comfrey was a little unconvinced.
"People in this world can't say the same, some people don't have a bottom line in doing things, some people have a bottom line in doing things, although Chen Hai is addicted to gambling, but he is a filial son, his mother is his bottom line, this person who has a bottom line in doing things is worthy of trust." Shu Manyin thought of Wei Chidu as she spoke, that is a person who has no bottom line in doing things, so such a person is bloodthirsty and inhumane.
The two sat for a moment and then prepared to go back to the house first: "Miss, do we want to go and see again?" Comfrey asked.
"Let's go out and buy something." Shu Manyin replied, there is still a Shu Fangyin who is always staring at herself in this house, no matter what, today's incident must not be known to others, no matter what, you still have to buy something to confuse Shu Fangyin, otherwise how can you see her disappointed expression.
When the two walked to the stairs, they didn't want to meet the person she didn't want to see in her life at the corner: Wei Chi asked. To say that Wei Chi Du asked that he did have a face that was enough to fascinate a woman, an angular face, sword eyebrows, and an innate royal nobility that was enough to make a woman crazy, and he was deceived by this in his previous life, so he insisted on marrying him despite his father's opposition, but in the end?
The moment she saw him, she was cold, and what appeared in front of her eyes was her mother's dead head, a bloody child, and her own flesh and blood flying in the wolves, and she tried her best to restrain her body trembling with anger, and just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
"This young lady." Xu is providence makes people, the more he wants to avoid him, he just leaned over to himself, Wei Chi asked the folding fan in his hand to close, with a little smile: "I just overheard Miss's remarks, so that I can't help but be amazed, this sudden come, just to get to know Miss, and I hope Miss forgive." ”
Shu Manyin was a little surprised in her heart, she came to talk about the tea garden today because of the memory of her previous life, but she didn't think that Wei would ask early in Hongyan Tower, and she was extremely glad that she had done it first. Now her strength is too weak to ask Wei Chi about a head-on conflict, and the matter of revenge can only be slowly figured out.
"It's just a little girl's foolish opinion, and she shouldn't be praised by her son." Although Shu Manyin turned around and was talking to him, her eyes were cold.
"Miss's insight is already high-minded, I don't know where the young lady's house is?" Wei Chi asked a little puzzled about this woman's indifference, he was very confident in his appearance and bearing, which of the women he usually saw was not ashamed, this woman seemed to have an enmity with him, but he confirmed that he did not know her.
"Little girl's boudoir, it's inconvenient to disclose, please forgive me." Shu Manyin didn't want to face it more, so she saluted and said, "The little girl is saying goodbye, and the son is staying." With that, he turned around and left Hongyan Tower.
Wei Chi asked very much and wanted to catch up and ask, but when he thought that there was still his own imperial uncle in this private room, a woman, no matter how much knowledge she had, she could only stay in the backyard after all, if she could get the support of the imperial uncle, the great cause she wanted was just around the corner. This woman's business, as long as she is Miss Kyori, there is a chance to find it in the future.
