Chapter 345: Drinking Tea (1)
When the time is near, why is it Xiao Tao who is sleepy? The ministers sitting in the south study were also sleepy one by one, but because the holy queen was still sitting there, they didn't dare to sit upright.
Sun Heng, the head of the household department, was extremely tired at this time, but the matter discussed this time was related to how much silver the household department could operate this year, so he did not dare to slack off.
In order to continue to hold on, the only way is to drink more tea, so when Xiao Tao brought the newly brewed tea, Sun Hengbian couldn't wait to take it.
After skimming the tea foam on the tea soup and blowing the boiling hot tea soup, Sun Heng took a small sip as usual.
"Hmm!" As soon as the tea soup was in his mouth, Sun Heng almost didn't spit it out! Obviously, the color and fragrance are not different, but the tea soup is bitter and spicy, and there is a bit of a fishy and salty taste, and the tongue is numb after drinking, where is this tea? This is clearly a bitter medicine!
Now, however, in the south study, the Holy Queen was sitting in the center with an unkind face. Sun Heng is so bold that he doesn't dare to spit out the tea in his mouth!
"Master Sun, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Sun Heng's strange expression, Ma Yuanze, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't help but ask strangely.
Reluctantly swallowed the tea, Sun Heng shook his head, "No, it's okay......" glanced at the holy queen sitting on the top with a weak heart, and then said with a smile, "The tea is too hot, too hot......"
After speaking, Sun Hengbian reached out and touched a piece of cloud cake and stuffed it into his mouth, hoping to remove the bitter taste in his mouth.
However, the familiar sweet taste of the cloud cake did not appear, but instead had a salty taste like grains of salt.
Sun Heng only hated himself at this time why he stuffed the cloud cake into his mouth in a hurry just now, if it was just a small bite, he could still swallow it if he gritted his teeth. Now I can't swallow or spit out such a whole piece in my mouth......
"Sun Qing, what did you just say about the disaster relief budget of the household department?" Just when Sun Heng was at a loss for what to do with the cloud cake in his mouth, Nan Rong Yuwei, the Holy Queen who was sitting on the top, suddenly asked him.
As soon as he heard the Holy Queen's question, Sun Heng naturally didn't dare to slack off, and swallowed the cloud cake in his mouth hard, but unfortunately he swallowed too quickly and was in a hurry to speak, which caused him to choke his throat again.......
"Back to ...... cough cough cough ...... After returning to the Holy Shrine, a thousand ...... cough cough cough ...... Five million taels of silver......" Sun Heng, who was choking a lot, reluctantly answered the question, and then turned his back and coughed loudly.
"Oh, Master Sun, what are you anxious about?" Tong Weigan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, on the side, stepped forward and patted Sun Heng's back for pretending to be concerned, "Come on, Lord Sun will take a sip of tea first." ”
Sun Heng took the teacup, just took a sip, and then covered his mouth directly, he actually forgot that this tea was not much better than the taste of the pastry......
Sun Heng hurriedly confessed to the Holy Queen, and then ran out of the south study, and the others looked at his figure of leaving in a hurry, all puzzled......
But soon, all the ministers who were discussing in the study understood what happened to Sun Heng......
Everyone's face turned from red to green and then to white, and then to white and then to purple, like a kaleidoscope.
And Nanrong Yuwei, who was sitting on the upper seat, still kept asking questions, forcing everyone to answer, and if she talked too much, she would be thirsty, but no one wanted to take another sip of tea, and after a while, everyone was so dry that they couldn't do it......
"A few secretaries, it's almost ugly, and this disaster relief charter still can't be discussed?" Nan Rong Yuwei looked coldly at the few people sitting at the bottom with different expressions.
