"It's him!" Cui'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this, this is really a narrow road!

"It's their house!" Master Ye said with some indignation, "You originally came up with this flower tea, but I didn't expect that Jin Yuman to be so brazen that he imitated the flower tea in the name of a Huxi tea merchant......"

"Dad, this tea-making thing, I have drunk other people's good tea, and I want to imitate it, it's not a big deal, as long as our tea is better than theirs, there are always people who know the goods." Although Cui'er said this, she was also a little worried in her heart.

After all, the brand awareness of the ancient people was not strong, and now the Jin family's tea is very poor, and they still have advantages, even if they want to fight, they can only compete for the market of some low-income households who can't afford to buy good tea. But if the tea made by the Jin and Yin families is as good as their own in the future, the competition in this market will be fierce.

"This matter, let's think about it in the long run, we can't rush into chaos!" Although Cui'er didn't think about what to do, she was naturally vigilant, if she said.

"Okay, just as you said, I'll go to the teahouse and let the shopkeeper appease the guys." Master Ye made a decision immediately, got up and left.

Cui'er sat next to the bookcase, looking at the appearance of this flower tea, but her heart was already drifting away. I don't know if Lian Qingshan's life in the northwest is good, whether the clothes on his body are enough to wear, whether he is sick or injured......

Cui'er stared at the flower tea for a moment. I just felt a little dazed in my heart, no matter how much I thought about business, I couldn't compare to Lian Qingshan, so I simply let go of this flower tea first. Let the carriage be prepared and go to the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Liu asked someone to bring Xin'er two days ago, saying that he had made another gold sore medicine that was very effective for arrow wounds. The sword has no eyes, and the good medicine on this battlefield is a life-saving thing, Cui'er thought about going to see it quickly, if the effect is really good, let the shopkeeper Liu make this medicine in batches. It's good to send someone to Lian Qingshan in the northwest.

Cui'er went to the pharmacy to see the new wound medicine, and then to see the wound healing after the experiment was done on livestock. I feel that this new wound medicine is indeed much better than the ordinary gold sore medicine before. Cui'er's heart was settled, so she first took away the two bottles of wound medicine that had been made, sent Uncle Zhong to find someone to test the medicine, and asked Shopkeeper Liu to hurry up and make the wound medicine in batches. I can send it to the northwest as soon as possible.

After arranging these things, Cui'er returned home and saw the flower tea spread on the table, and then remembered the flower tea again. Cui'er was thinking about making some arrangements, but she heard someone report that Miss Huiya was here.

"Why are you here at this time?" Cui'er looked at the sky outside, it was already dark. Dinner is still an hour or two away, and if there is nothing important, Hui Ya will never come to the door at this time on weekdays.

"I went to a small tea party today and encountered an interesting thing. Just tell Aunt Cui about it. Hui Ya's eyes sparkled and she seemed to be happy.

"Oh, the tea party?" Cui'er looked at Huiya's appearance. With a wave of his hand, he sent the maids who had served the refreshments down, leaving only Xiangying to wait in the room, "Let's hear it." ”

"This morning, I received a post from a young lady who has some friendship on weekdays, and I went to the ......home of a four-grade civil official," Hui Ya said slowly.

It turned out that Hui Ya usually followed the sisters of the Zhao Mansion to attend banquets, flower parties and the like. I also got to know a bunch of little sisters. Although the relationship between these girls is close and far, thick and thin, it is because Huiya is kind and humble on weekdays. Everyone has a bit of face, whoever has a banquet or something, they will invite Huiya.

Today's is a tea party of a four-grade civil official surnamed Shi who is more honest and honest, the young lady of this civil official family is a pampered one on weekdays, and it is very good on weekdays.

It's just that the flower tea gift box of this Biye Piaoxiang Building, a box costs eighty-eight taels of silver, not to mention the civil officials of the fourth grade, even the members of the first grade, if there is no foreign wealth, how many gift boxes can be bought every month?

Even if this Miss Shi is valued by her father and mother, and she has a few small amounts of money in her hand, she can't spend it like this. Not to mention Miss Shi, it is the daughter of the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, if she doesn't have a rich family background, who would dare to buy a few gift boxes to hold a flower tea party at every turn?

Therefore, when Huiya arrived at Shi's house and saw the flower tea, she knew that the flower tea in her hand was not, not the flower tea of Biye Piaoxianglou, but the imitation flower tea.

Huiya is a kind-hearted person, when Miss Shi was triumphant, she said directly that her flower tea was wrong, so she didn't say anything, just wanted to hurry up and pass the tea banquet.

But there are all kinds of young ladies from rich and noble families, and there are kind-hearted people like Huiya, so naturally there are those who don't look down on each other with Miss Shi on weekdays.

The girls have suspicions on weekdays, even if they have no reason to stab each other, but now they find that the flower tea that Miss Shi made under her triumph is actually an imitation, where is she willing to let go of such an opportunity. The young lady pointed out the facts without saying a word, which made Miss Shi very embarrassed.

Miss Shi's father's official position is not high, although her mother is a side branch of the Xiao family, she has no big face, not to mention the birthday banquet of the princess of the Dingguo Mansion, even the door of the Biye Piaoxiang Building has not entered.

Now it's just a gift box of flower tea that was given by someone, where do you know the twists and turns here, I wanted to earn a little more face in front of people, so I endured the distress and took out the flower tea gift box to hold a tea banquet, but I was thought that I didn't earn face, but I lost face inside and out.

Miss Shi couldn't think about it for a while, and ran out crying, but Huiya was worried that she would follow, and it took a thousand efforts to persuade her. took out a gift from his carriage, and there was a gift box of flower tea given to her by Cui'er in the gift, so that Miss Shi said that she had taken the wrong tea and rounded up the matter.

"You. It's kindness. When Cui'er heard this, she only felt that Huiya's child was really kind-hearted, and she reached out and touched her black hair. With a loving face, "What happened then?" ”

"Later, I took Miss Shi with me to tell you in detail about the good and bad of our tea and the imitation tea, as long as the ladies who participated in the tea banquet will definitely be able to distinguish the real from the fake!"

Hui Ya said, for dealing with this matter by herself. It's still quite proud. However, there was still a trace of worry between his eyebrows, "Aunt Cui." You said who imitated your flower tea, and gave a gift box out in a big way, but you didn't want to be embarrassed at all. ”

"You, you're really Aunt Cui's lucky star. The things that Aunt Cui was still thinking about were solved by you all at once! Cui'er listened to the whole thing, and only felt that Huiya's child was so cute! I was still thinking about how to teach customers how to distinguish the truth from falsehood of this flower tea, so Huiya first used practical examples to tell you about it.

With Miss Shi's tea banquet, the ladies of the rich and noble families know that this flower tea is true or false, and the gold and jade are full of boldness and thoughts, and no guests will pay, and this flower tea will not be able to set off too much storm.

Cui'er was in a good mood, took Hui Ya's hand and said considerate words for a while before letting Hui Ya go back to Zhao's mansion. When Huiya was about to go out, Cui'er instructed Xiangying to pack out a dozen or so gift boxes of flower tea for Huiya to bring.

Huiya wanted to excuse herself, but Cui'er wouldn't let her. "This gift box is expensive to sell outside, but how much does it actually cost, even if you don't know a ten**, but you also know a rough, more than a dozen gift boxes, you usually get along with the ladies of the boudoir. It's good to give favors as a gift. ”

Huiya heard what Cui'er said, so she smiled and accepted it. Go home with these dozen gift boxes. In the days that followed, whenever I went out to attend a banquet, I would look at the situation or send flower tea or talk about the quality of flower tea, so that in the already very hot flower tea trend, there was a whirlwind of genuine flower tea.

Because the most easily deceived rich and noble ladies know that there are imitations of flower tea, and the flower tea of the Jin family is in the home of the upper class, not to mention that it cannot be sold, even if it is sold at the door, it will be ridiculed.

Only those daughters of small families with mediocre family backgrounds and no access to high-rise families will regard the flower tea that can be bought casually by the Jin family as a treasure, although there are a lot of sales, but one cannot sell at a high price, and the other is not good enough, so that Jin Yuman's desire to use flower tea and get a piece of the pie in the selection of imperial merchants has completely failed.

However, although Cui'er paid attention to the affairs of these little daughters in the boudoir, she didn't pay too much attention to them, and as time went by, Cui'er's life became more and more busy.

The arrow wound medicine made by the shopkeeper Liu, when Uncle Zhong was looking for someone to test the medicine, happened to meet a hunter who was accidentally injured and bleeding profusely, which saved a person's life and greatly increased Cui'er's confidence. Full of confidence, Cui'er asked Shopkeeper Liu to hurry up the value of fifty bottles of wound medicine and send someone to the northwest quickly.

In addition to their own affairs, the matter of the selection of imperial merchants is also getting more and more powerful, and the tea circle, which was already turbulent, is changing every day. Tea merchants from all walks of life have found ways to build relationships, and the tea merchants who were originally fighting for each other have gradually divided into several major factions led by the big tea merchants who are more able to choose the imperial merchants.

The war between the emperor and the merchant was about to break out, and at the most critical juncture, everyone seemed to have calmed down. Several major factions have been formed, and the resources and abilities in everyone's hands have almost touched each other, and the more critical the time, the more deserted the tea merchants become, and there is a faint sense of the last tranquility before the storm.

On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, news suddenly came from the Dingguo Mansion that the exact regulations and time for the selection of the imperial merchants had been decided. Along with the news, a letter was also attached, which wrote in great detail the steps, methods and evaluation criteria for the selection of the imperial merchants.

As soon as this letter was sent, Master Ye and Cui'er's family were all in good spirits, and the selection of imperial merchants was finally here! (To be continued)
