Chapter 407: A Critical Moment

Cui'er looked at the appearance on the field, couldn't help frowning, looking at the surnamed Qian and Jin Yu's eyebrows with a gloating smile, Cui'er became more and more worried in her heart, they were not worried at all, and they looked very determined, did someone do something in this tea fight?

After the doubts in Cui'er's heart arose, she couldn't calm down. Although Cui'er has no imperative intention to win the position of the imperial businessman, and it is normal to lose the competition when her skills are not as good as others, it does not mean that Cui'er will let others cheat and make her own loss unclear.

"Dad, you look at the appearance of the Qian family and the Jin family, as if they don't care at all, will there be anything strange in it?" The more Cui'er looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, pursed her lips and whispered softly next to Master Ye.

"I look a little wrong, let's see if they did something on the tea or charcoal fire during the lunch break." Master Ye nodded when he heard this. Looking at the techniques of the people from the Qian family and the Jin family who helped make tea, although they were very skilled, they were not stronger than Ye Qing, if they could be sure of victory because they borrowed people, they were really underestimating people.

Master Ye knew in his heart that the Qian family and the Jin family had today, and they were definitely not people who looked down on others with their eyes above the top, and now that they were like this, they must have nothing to fear. As for what kind of place there is no fear, Master Ye and Cui'er still don't know, so there is a faint layer of melancholy between their eyebrows, but they invariably don't mention it again.

After a while, it was time for a break at noon, and at this time, Ye Qing's action of kneading the tea had come to an end. Just shook the tea green and put it in the basket to dry, so that the petty officials of the Internal Affairs Office could inspect it and seal it on the table.

Ye Qing rubbed his sore arms, and after cleaning his hands, he put down the sleeves that his arms had rolled up as he walked, and walked to Master Ye. "Daddy!"

"Well, it's hard work, sit down first!" Master Ye nodded, looking at his tall and big son, he felt quite comforted in his heart. Although his son is usually not smiling, he is a good hand at making tea and doing business, and he looks at his son who looks so handsome. Master Ye's heart was very comforted.

"Big brother. How about this tea green? But fresh? Cui'er was most worried about the quality of the tea, so Ye Qing sat down and drank a cup of tea. Cui'er asked anxiously.

If you use stale green tea to make tea, with different degrees of fermentation or decay, no matter how good the frying technique is, the finished tea may not be satisfactory.

"The quality of the tea is ok. It was freshly picked and slightly bitter. It is also suitable for making green leaf tea. Although Ye Qing didn't know what her sister was worried about, she admired Cui'er's tea-making skills very much, and secondly, she had nothing to say to this sister who had loved her since she was a child. Hearing Cui'er ask, she replied carefully, without a trace of impatience in her expression.

"It's okay for Chaqing." Cui'er nodded. The gloom between the eyebrows did not relax, because the Qian family and the Jin family were their tea masters. Now Shi Shiran is sitting in his seat, and he doesn't look worried at all.

The doubts in Cui'er's heart became more and more intense, is this their old suspicion, or what agreement has been reached between the two of them, if they rely on some despicable means to kill their own family, but the two of them have merged into one share, then today's loser is only their own family.

Cui'er's brows furrowed slightly, if it wasn't for Cha Qing's problem, what else would it be? The preservation of tea greens? Charcoal fire in the afternoon or tea making tools? The judgment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also ......

Thinking of this, Cui'er's eyes widened suddenly, and a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, which made Cui'er's heart can't help but thump. If...... If the Qian family and the Jin family really join forces, or respect the Qian family or the Jin family, as long as two of the three judges are their people, no matter who Duanwang votes for in the end, the winners of this tea fight will be the Qian family and the Jin family!

When Cui'er thought like this, she only felt as if she was soaked in cold sweat, and she was a little stunned for a while.

How can this be? Cui'er hurriedly whispered her guess to Master Ye, Ye Qing, and Ye Bi. Hearing this, although Master Ye and Ye Qing felt that Cui'er's guess was very bold, in the matter of the selection of the emperor and businessman, which was very dependent on the background of the relationship, it was not impossible for Cui'er to guess.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and even the people who had been prepared and waited outside the teahouse to bring food to everyone did not remember to call in.

Cui'er looked down and thought about how to deal with it, and when she looked up again, she found that the Qian family teahouse had brought up a lot of food boxes from the back kitchen, and the wine and dishes taken out of the food boxes were put in front of several adults one by one, and then the Qian family's young and old, and then the Jin family......

Seeing that the people of the Qian family and the Jin family were drinking and eating, but they did not have the Ye family's share, the conjecture in Cui'er's heart was confirmed from the side, whether it was the Qian family or the Jin family, or they found a common backer behind their backs, the matter of the Qian family and the Jin family joining forces was already ten!

Because the guessed matter has been decided, when she was calculated, Cui'er's originally panicked heart miraculously stopped worrying. If the crux of the matter is that two of the three judges are bought, then as long as there are more reviewers, wouldn't it be possible to be fair?

If it's a best-of-three game when there are three judges, what if it's a five-game judge? What about the seven judges? Cui'er believes that if she can temporarily add a few judges in, then even if the Qian family and the Jin family have already bought off two judges, it will be too late to buy more judges.

As long as there is such an opportunity, it is possible for you to turn the tables!

Cui'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and she had already taken it into account, and immediately whispered a few words to Master Ye and them, and then beckoned the people under her to bring the food prepared downstairs. The food was for Ye Ye and Ye Qing to eat, which saved the time to eat, and Ye Qing had no strength to make tea in the afternoon.

And Cui'er herself brought her own personal ring and walked out of the teahouse. Although Cui'er's pace is hurried, the goal in her heart is very clear, and the only thing she can rely on is the Dingguo Mansion. So if you need to ask for help this time, you can only turn to the Dingguo Mansion for help.

The carriage walked towards the Dingguo Mansion, Cui'er's hand squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and secretly prayed in her heart that the prince of the Dingguo Mansion or General Wenxiu could be at home, if they were not at home, then they would run away in vain, and the tea party in the next morning. There will be no suspense about victory or defeat.

After Cui'er left. The Ye family hurriedly had lunch, and the family sat in the audience, quietly waiting for the opening of the afternoon.

Master Ye understood very well in his heart. If you want to get a chance of winning in this obviously unfair event, you can't panic, and your tea must be prepared. As for whether Cui'er can really bring the rescuers, although Master Ye is looking forward to it. Seeing the arrogant appearance of the Qian family and the Jin family, they didn't dare to expect too much.

The next day's tea party soon began. Xu is because he has already bought off the judges, and when making tea in the afternoon, no one uses tea green, tea-making tools or charcoal fire. Master Ye looked at his son, who was still serious about making tea, and then looked at the Qian family and the Jin family, who were full of ambition as if they were in their chests. gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, so that he could bear it and let himself not lose his temper.

But. It's just that there is no gaffe, and it seems that it has reached the final stage of roasting tea. Cui'er hadn't returned yet, and the flame of hope in Master Ye's heart was extinguished little by little.

Yes, it's yourself, it's impossible to find someone who is willing to stand up for your family and dare to fight with the Xiao faction within half a day, let alone Cui'er, who is only in her early twenties?

Master Ye looked at the field with a wry smile, the tea fragrance brought by the bursts of roasted tea was familiar to Master Ye, in the past, this fragrance could always make him feel happy and relaxed, but today is really different. With this burst of fragrance wafting out, Master Ye knew very clearly in his heart that the time for his family to face defeat was getting closer and closer.

Master Ye is not afraid of failure, after all, ten years ago, he was defeated in the selection of imperial merchants, and such a scene is just a repetition today. It's just that the reason why Master Ye is unwilling to fail at home is not because the tea is not good, not because the business is not big, not because the backers are not strong, but because the opponents join forces to cheat!

Cheating and cheating, how can you wipe out all the things you have been looking forward to for half your life and all your hard work for so many years because of such dirty methods, such despicable methods, and even fair competition?

Thinking like this, Master Ye only felt that the blood in his heart was surging, and the heavy unwillingness echoed in his heart. Subconsciously hope that this time will pass slowly, and if it is slower, even if it fails, it will have to make a final struggle.

However, God seemed to be going against Master Ye, even if he wanted to make time slower in his heart, the three tea merchants also finished making tea one after another. Although Master Ye is a little far away, he can probably judge the tea made by the Qian family and the Jin family by virtue of the appearance of the tea leaves and the fragrance of the tea when making tea.

Looking at the smug smiles on the faces of the Qian family and the Jin family, there was no movement at the door, and even Cui'er, who went out to ask for help, did not hear from him at all. Master Ye sighed in his heart, knowing that his family was gone.

"Try the tea!" The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs collected the tea leaves of the three families, placed them on silver plates, and after showing the three adults the brown color and tea shape and aroma of the dry tea, they ordered three cups of tea to be brewed respectively.

The three adults drank tea separately and did not talk anything, and the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over a big red piece of paper, meaning to ask the three adults to write down the merchants they thought had been selected.

Master Ye saw clearly, except for the Duan Wang Ye who was sitting in the middle, he was sipping tea carefully and seriously judging the good or bad, the remaining generals surnamed Dong and the adults surnamed Zuo actually glanced at each other secretly, if it was usually Ye Ye who couldn't notice anything, with Cui'er's observation, Ye Ye almost confirmed on the spot that these two people were going to cheat.

Master Ye shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes, knowing that his family still did not break free from the trap of others in the end, and his heart was desperate and uncomfortable, but he still stood up for the last dignity.

At this critical juncture when the imperial merchant was about to be produced, everyone suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside. (To be continued)
