Ye Anran smiled wisely: "Exactly, I finally mustered up the courage to open a teahouse, naturally I couldn't just take a name, so I took this on a whim, how about it, let's go back?" ”

"Well, it's very interesting, seeing the name of this teahouse makes people want to rush in and drink tea." As he spoke, Nishinomiya Lonely picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

At this time, Qi Niang came over, leaned over to Ye Anran's ear and whispered, "Master Princess, there is a purple-clothed boy outside who asks to see you." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Ye Anran didn't seem to remember that he had other friends in Bianjing besides Xigong Lonely and Xigong Jin.

"He said that his surname was Meng." Qi Niang's voice was very low, it seemed that this was related to the master's private affairs, and it was inconvenient to say more.

As soon as he heard the surname Meng, Ye Anran immediately understood, got up and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, you drink tea first, I have something to deal with." ”

The other three nodded, Ye Anran went downstairs with Qi Niang, and at a glance caught a glimpse of Meng Zhaoyang, the son of the Meng family, who was standing at the door of the jade tree in the wind.

"Zhaoyang Gongzi, why are you here?" Ye Anran is not very familiar with Meng Zhaoyang, so he always adds the word son after his name.

"Coincidentally, today I went to Ye's Tea House to buy tea and overheard the guy there talking about the Ye family's daughter's teahouse opening today, I turned my head and thought, the Ye family is only you except Sister An Yao, Sister An Yao is the imperial concubine, and she will definitely not come out to open a teahouse, so it can only be you, sure enough, I really came to the right place, caught up with the opening of your teahouse, but I came to visit, please bear with me if I am rude." Meng Zhaoyang's words were reasonable and well-founded, which made Ye Anran suddenly feel a little moved.

She didn't have any friends in Bianjing, so it was naturally a good thing to have friends to celebrate the opening of the teahouse for her.

"Zhaoyang Gongzi is too worried, please come inside, Qi Niang, go and make a good pot of tea for Meng Gongzi." Ye Anran turned around and ordered.

"Yes." Qi Niang is also a smart person, so she won't ask more, just do what her master tells her.

Because Xigong Jin and Xigong were lonely on the second floor, Ye Anran could only settle Meng Zhaoyang on the first floor.

"An Ran, you don't have to call me Zhaoyang Gongzi so polite, it sounds ...... Hehe, it's too raw, if you are afraid that calling me Zhaoyang will be unseemly, just call me Brother Meng. Seeing that Ye Anran was not comfortable every time he called himself, Meng Zhaoyang took the initiative to propose.

Ye Anran smiled embarrassedly: "Well, okay, then I will call you Brother Meng in the future." ”

"There is nothing to give when the teahouse opens, this pair of jade vases will be given to you, I wish you a good opening of the teahouse." Saying that, Meng Zhaoyang took a big black wooden box from his entourage's birthday gift.

Inside the wooden box lie two green jade vases with bright color and transparent body, just looking at the style, you know that the price is expensive.

"No, this is too precious, the last time Brother Meng gave me osmanthus cake, I am already very grateful, I can't accept such a valuable gift anymore, and I ask Brother Meng to take it back." Seeing this pair of vases, Ye Anran refused to accept them.

Meng Zhaoyang saw that she refused, and he was not in a hurry, but smiled faintly: "An Ran, you accept it, our Meng family and your Ye family are also world friends, this gift is nothing, although we have no chance to become husband and wife, but it is not bad to become friends, the gift given by a friend, I don't care about the precious, it only represents a little heart, if you accept it, my friend can be more comfortable." ”

Seeing that Meng Zhaoyang said these words without leaking, Ye Anran bit her lip, in order not to reject the face of the Meng family, she had to reluctantly accept it.

"That'...... Then I might as well be respectful. Ye Anran took the jade vase, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart, she always felt that this son of the Meng family was too good to herself, the last time she sent osmanthus cake, this time she sent a vase, it was really a little unguessable.

At this time, Qi Niang happened to come over with tea leaves, put down two cups of Qixing grass and said, "Meng Gongzi, please use tea." ”

"Okay, thank you." Meng Zhaoyang was very gentlemanly in his gestures, which left a good impression on Ye Anran.

Just when Qi Niang turned around to leave, she was suddenly stopped by Ye Anran: "Qi Niang." ”

Qi Niang turned her head in response, waiting for the master's next order, Ye Anran paused and said, "Go and wrap two boxes of cannas that just arrived today, and take them away for Meng Gongzi in a while." ”

"Yes." Although Qi Niang knows how valuable the canna is, and the price of two boxes is almost five hundred taels of silver, but since the master has ordered, he can only do it, it seems that this son surnamed Meng is not ordinary.

Qi Niang thought like this, and sped up her pace to pack the tea......

Meng Zhaoyang's face changed slightly: "An Ran, what are you doing?" No, the canna is so valuable, so let's keep it for the guests. ”

"Brother Meng, don't be polite to me, I know that Uncle Meng also loves to drink tea, and the canna grows very well this year, but most of them are paid tribute to the royal family, and it is difficult for the people to buy them, so there are some here, you can bring them back to Uncle Meng, which is also a little bit of my heart." Of course, Ye Anran knew the meaning of courtesy.

Not to mention that the canna is worth five hundred taels, that is, five thousand taels, she has to give them all, because she knows that the pair of bottles that Meng Zhaoyang gave her just now must be priceless, which is almost nothing.

To be a man, you still have to come and go, otherwise I will always accept gifts from others, and I will really feel a little uneasy.

Hearing Ye Anran say this, Meng Zhaoyang no longer shirked, so he arched his hands and smiled: "Then I will thank you for my father." ”

"We're friends, what's polite?" Ye Anran borrowed Meng Zhaoyang's words and asked rhetorically, which made both of them laugh.

Then Meng Zhaoyang and Ye Anran talked and laughed, and Ye Anran found that Meng Zhaoyang was a well-educated man, and his smile made people as refreshing and gentle as a spring breeze.

Many times she was thinking, if she hadn't rescued Jia Luo and hadn't been married by the emperor, would she have married the Meng family like an ordinary woman and lived a plain and happy life?

No one knows the answer, because if it is impossible to happen, her fate has changed dramatically, how can she go back to before?

Before leaving, Meng Zhaoyang pretended to ask mysteriously: "An Ran, do you really not remember a story about the jade vase?" ”

"Huh? Is there one? Does this vase still have a story? Obviously, Ye Anran didn't seem to remember.

Meng Zhaoyang looked at Ye Anran gently and said slowly: "When I was eight years old, I went to Yangzhou Yefu with my father as a guest, and met a six-year-old girl holding a jade vase, I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to take it and take a look, but I didn't want to accidentally break it, the girl kept crying, crying all the time, I later said to her a little impatiently, Anran, don't cry, I ...... Isn't it okay to pay you a lot of vases in the future? ”
