Lu Xiuer said, took out three wooden cards from her arms, and carved three Lu characters in cursive in the middle of the wooden card, next to them are some patterns, which are filled with gold leaf, which can be seen to be a token.

She handed the three wooden cards to Wei Ruyu, Wei Rushuang and Ye Tanghua respectively, and said with a smile: "In the future, if the three young ladies want to know any news, they just need to send someone to find a beggar in Beijing with this thing to explain, and they will have eyebrows in three days." ”

Wei Ruyu was anxious, took the wooden card and looked at it for a while, then raised his head: "Looking for a beggar?" Is it really like what the book says, there is really a beggar gang on the rivers and lakes? ”

Lu Xiuer said with a smile: "I haven't heard of the beggar gang or anything, but our family is a beggar leader, if the girls often watch plays, do you know Jin Yunu's father Jin Song in "Jin Yunu Stick Beats Bo Qinglang"? Our family is just like the Jin family, but our family has been a beggar for four generations, and we are not as rich as the Jin family. Even so, all the beggars in the capital must always respect our family. ”

Although Ye Tanghua has never seen what a beggar leader is, she has always seen it in the play, and knows that this beggar leader, as the name suggests, is in charge of beggars, just like a leader. The beggars asked for something every day to honor the beggar's head, and when the beggars didn't want to eat, the beggars also helped them, chewed when the weather was cold and frozen, and the beggars were also responsible for the use of cotton clothes in winter.

It seems that this time they inadvertently inserted willows and willows, and actually saved such a character. Although the status of the Lu family is low, it should not be underestimated. Beggars are the most common characters in the streets and alleys, and they know everything they know, and they can't hide a hint of wind and grass from their ears and eyes. All the beggars in the capital are headed by the Lu family, and they can drive the beggars in the name of the Lu family, and if there is any trouble in the future, they can really get a lot of help.

Ye Tanghua thought so in her heart, and saw Lu Xiu'er standing aside with a smile, so she beckoned to her: "Come and sit, we are just here to wait for the market to reopen, and we will leave after sitting for a while, so you don't have to be too restrained." ”

Wei Rushuang took a sip of the teacup and blinked her eyes: "This tea is so delicious, sweet and silky." ”

Lu Xiu'er said with a smile: "This tea is a dragon well before the rain, with honey added to it, soaked in the spring water in the mountain, and some rock sugar added to it, it is delicious and warms up, Miss may wish to drink more." ”

The mention of tea couldn't help but touch Ye Tanghua's heart, she thought about it and said with a smile: "Miss Lu seems to be very good at tea?" ”

Speaking of her strengths, Lu Xiuer nodded calmly: "I have been helping out in this teahouse since I was four years old, and now I dare not say that I am very proficient in the art of tea, but I also think that I have a little attainment." ”

Ye Tanghua nodded with a smile, with a little envy in her words: "Miss Lu actually knows the tea ceremony, it's really enviable." My mother likes to drink tea, but I don't know anything about tea art, and often spoils my mother's good tea. ”

Lu Xiu'er gave birth to * tea, Aiwu and Wu also liked those who loved tea, and now I heard that Ye Tanghua's mother likes good tea, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of heart, and my heart itched.

Their Lu family is from a beggar's head, and even if you become a beggar after a few generations, there will still be people who look down on you. It's not that the family doesn't have enough money, after all, ordinary people and neighbors have always laughed at the poor and not at the prostitute, as long as your family is still passable, no one will be difficult for you.

However, after a family becomes wealthy, it is impossible to deal with the neighborhood all day long. The rich have the life circle of the rich, and the nobles have the life circle of the nobility, if you don't integrate into this circle, you won't really get rid of the past, but neither the rich nor the nobles will have a good face for the Lu family. This is not because the Lu family is not good enough, but because the background of being a beggar makes people look down on you.

Because of this, since Lu Xiuer's father, he has been looking for a way to get rid of the identity of a beggar. Although the Lu family is not considered to be a huge wealth now, it also has some assets, otherwise Lu Xiuer's grandfather would not have spare money to open such a teahouse, and the Lu family now wants to change careers, even if it is a businessman in the last industry, it is better than being a beggar.

But how easy is it to get rid of the status of a beggar? A group of beggars have already obeyed the management of the Lu family, and if they change to another beggar, they may not be really convinced, and what if they come to the Lu family to make trouble at the end of the day? Second, isn't the new beggar head taboo with the old beggar? Third, let's not talk about it, look at the situation of the Jin Yu slave family in the play, and also know what kind of life the Lu family will live in the future, although the Lu family is in charge of the beggars, why not live on the beggars? Even if the Lu family wants to tear it apart, can these beggars be willing to let go of the Lu family?

Therefore, for the sake of the future, the Lu family is bound to get rid of this beggar identity, but if you want to get rid of this identity, it is almost impossible to rely on the strength of the Lu family alone.

It is precisely because of this that after careful consideration, Lu Laohan put his goal among the nobles in Beijing, if the Lu family wants to get rid of the status of the beggar, someone must support them, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the capital, who is more suitable to help them than the nobles?

But as the leader of the Lu family, how easy is it to make friends with high-ranking officials and dignitaries? Lu Laohan has been worried about this time recently, who knows that before he can come up with a way, the three noble daughters of the Wei family sisters and Ye Tanghua fell from the sky, Lu Laohan invited the three of them to sit in the teahouse, half of the reason is to repay the favor, and most of the reason is that he hopes to use Lu Xiuer to set up a relationship with these noble girls, and finally achieve the goal of getting the Lu family rid of the identity of the beggar.

Now that Lu Xiuer hasn't hinted at her purpose, Ye Tanghua has already thrown a high branch to her, why should she not catch it?

Therefore, Lu Xiuer smiled and said, "It turns out that Mrs. also likes tea?" That's really a coincidence, it's a pity that Xiu'er's status is low and she doesn't dare to climb high, otherwise she really wants to discuss tea art with her wife. ”

Lu Xiuer only thought that Ye Tanghua's unintentional words were fulfilling her wish, but she didn't know that Ye Tanghua also had a heart. Although Ye Tanghua knew that the tea leaves that Ye Mu's daily drink were poisonous, firstly, there was no evidence that Ye Mu's might not believe her, and secondly, her relationship with Ye Mu's was not very harmonious.

Rather than letting Ye Mu's insistence on going his own way, it is better to do what he likes. Doesn't Ye Mushi like tea? Then she will find someone who understands tea, if this person who understands tea says that there is a problem with tea, Ye Mushi should be able to believe it, right?

Although Ye Tanghua and Lu Xiuer each have a little selfishness, it is Zhou Yu who beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so the two are more and more in love.

Ye Tanghua smiled at Lu Xiu'er: "What is lowly and not lowly, there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, in terms of tea art, you are clearly a master, where can you be called low?" If you really want to discuss the art of tea with my mother, I have an idea, how about I hire you to be the tea master in my yard? First, it is to hire not to buy, although I am not talented, but I also have a second-grade county lord to cover, you come to me to teach me tea art, when teaching is not to be a maid, and it will not be cheap, and secondly, it is convenient for you to discuss tea art with my mother, what do you think? ”

Seeing Ye Tanghua say this, Lu Xiu'er became more and more in line with her desire to climb up, and said with a busy smile: "It turns out that Miss is actually a county lord, Xiu'er is rude, Xiu'er is a woman, she is nothing more than taking care of her own business all day long, and she is very idle." It would be great if you could do what you tell you. ”

"That's it, I'll take Miss Xiu'er home later, teach you to recognize the road and people, and you will come to me to be my master tomorrow!" Ye Tanghua also smiled back.

Wei Ruyu listened to it for a long time, and then couldn't help but interject with a smile: "I said that I came to relax, but I taught the Tang girl to worship the master, Miss Xiu'er is such a capable person, why did she teach you to get it?" It's a shame. ”

The corners of Ye Tanghua's lips hooked, and she said proudly: "This is called the first strike, as soon as you look like rain, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, don't you ask for tea art teaching?" Pour my eyes hot mine? ”

Wei Rushuang said with a smile: "Please yes, but it's an aunt in her forties and fifties, the folds on her face can't be covered with powder, she likes to train people with a straight face, and my sister doesn't know how many times she has asked her to talk about it." Now that I see Tang'er, your tea art teaching is young, beautiful and kind, this is not a taste in my heart, Tang girl, don't worry about us, you have a cheap, don't you allow us to pantothenic acid? ”

Ye Tanghua touched her cheeks with her little hand, and pretended to be impatient and said: "Okay, okay, for the sake of your suffering, let your sour go, tsk, the sore teeth will fall after a while." ”

Wei Ruyu chuckled lightly and turned her head to look at Lu Xiu'er: "Miss Xiu'er can see it, this Tang girl is usually sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, you must be careful when you teach her in the future, don't teach other people's skills, and you will be angry and scattered." ”

Lu Xiu'er pursed her lips and lowered her head, judging from her shaky shoulders, she knew that she wanted to laugh and tried her best to hold back: "Thank you for the reminder, Xiu'er wrote it down." ”

Wei Rushuang has been looking forward to the reopening of the New Year's market, and she will go to the window to take a look after a while, and at this time, she saw that the street was crowded again, and she couldn't help but stand up: "I see that the New Year's market is almost open, why don't we go down?" ”

Ye Tanghua nodded with a smile, thought about it and looked at Lu Xiu'er again: "Why don't you go down with us?" It just so happens that we don't know what's interesting in the New Year's market, and Miss Xiu'er can also give some pointers. ”

Lu Xiu'er nodded and readily agreed: "I also think so in my heart, a few young ladies will clean up first, and I will come after I go to explain to my grandfather." ”

Wei Ruyu nodded: "You go first, just wait for us downstairs in a while, you don't have to toss upstairs and downstairs." ”

Lu Xiu'er answered yes and turned around.

The three of them also put on their veils and hats after a while, and they rushed out, and when they went downstairs, they saw Lu Xiuer waiting at the door, and the three of them hurriedly greeted them and went out together.

After the figures of the four girls disappeared, a bearded man sitting in the inconspicuous corner of the teahouse with a big horse golden knife threw down a few copper plates of tea money, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, lifted the big knife wrapped around his side, and followed out.
