Section 108 The Tea Bureau with a Dark Tide

Shen Mu looked at several sets of samples from the craftsmen of the blacksmith shop and was not very satisfied. In this era, there were no large machinery in the industrial era, so the tea canisters made were always unsatisfactory. In Shen Mu's opinion, if the tea cans are not good, how can they make others have the desire to buy.

Shen Mu was a little angry, the craftsman clearly said that he could build it according to his drawings, and patted his chest to promise. At the moment, I can't believe the rhetoric I said.

Shen Mu was furious for a while, and asked the craftsman to re-polish it, and be sure to make more than ten delicate small jars tomorrow.

Helplessly, the craftsman was also short-tempered, not only did he not feel that he had a problem, but instead scolded Shen Mu for picking and choosing......

I'll take it, if it weren't for the fact that my lord still has big things to do, I would have to fight with you today.

Shen Mu was speechless for a while, thinking that it was pointless to quarrel with them, so he had to wave his hand and exit the blacksmith shop.

It's important to find a substitute, the gift box has been made, but you can't put the tea directly into the gift box.

Walking on the street, Shen Mu was a little depressed.

There were not many people on the street, and most of them were attracted to the main street by Sister Feng. Only the owner of this shop sat boredly on the bench in the store, waiting for the guest to enter the door.

Shen Mu passed by a rouge shop, and he didn't know whether it was a ghost or a blessing from God, so Shen Mu casually glanced inside, and suddenly rushed into the store with a happy look as if he had found a treasure.

The rouge seller was a middle-aged woman, and when she saw Shen Mu coming in, she immediately greeted her.

"Yo, master, are you buying rouge to give away, or are you giving it to the lady of the house?"

Shen Mu was stunned when she asked this, and said, "Boss, what's the difference?"

The woman said: "Look, I said that this young master doesn't understand, if this is given to his sweetheart, then you must choose the best rouge, the color should be more divine, the fragrance should be stronger, preferably osmanthus and gardenia." If it's for a woman, then you have to pick a lighter one!"

Shen Mu swallowed his saliva, it turns out that there is still this kind of exquisiteness in this?

The woman continued, "Well, I will choose for you who the little guest officer is going to give to." ”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I won't give it away...... That, that...... That one...... And show me the one. ”

The woman looked at Shen Mu as if she had seen a ghost. said: "Master, this thing is a woman's ......"

Shen Mu said: "I know, you bring it for me to see,...... Well, I promise you've got a big business......"

The woman was suspicious and took the rouge powder box that Shen Mu was referring to from the shelf.

Shen Mu carefully examined the powder box one by one, and was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect this powder box to be so exquisite, and the size was also very appropriate, if it was used to hold white tea, it could just hold the amount of tea needed to brew a pot of tea. (about 10 grams)

This is really a village with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright.

Shen Mu shook the blue and white porcelain powder box and a small bronze tripod-shaped rouge box in his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, give me ten copies of each of these two." He took another porcelain bowl-shaped powder box with pink peach blossoms, and continued: "This is five servings!"

The woman looked Shen Mu up and down as if she was looking at a monster, and suddenly said, "Oh...... I understand. Master, this is going to be given to the group of girls on Qianmen Street...... Don't blame me for not reminding you...... That's not what those girls like, what about them...... Loved the ...... of the longer lasting scent"

Shen Mu didn't wait for the woman to finish speaking, and shouted: "I'll teach you to wrap it up, and say it's ...... to do more."

The woman said, "Gotta get it...... Just when I talk a lot......" and then muttered in a low voice, "If you don't listen to your aunt and grandmother, I promise that you won't get a good face when you turn around!"

The woman wrapped the rouge powder box in a silk handkerchief and continued, "Master...... It's two taels of silver!"

Shen Mu paid the silver, took the package, and thanked him. Turned around and walked out of the store.

As soon as I went out, I passed by someone.

The man's ridicule came from his ears: "Who is this, don't you go out without eyeballs...... Ouch...... Why are you again!"

Without Shen Mu looking at it, there is no doubt that this person is that Wu Ma.

Shen Mu remembered the matter of white tea in his heart, and he was too lazy to theorize with her. Let go of the shop.

saw that Wu's mother was still followed by the woman.

When the woman saw Shen Mu, she bowed and said softly, "Childe, we meet again." ”

She had a reddish complexion and a slight smile, a pink dress and a white embroidered trench coat.

Shen Mu arched his hand and said, "The girl is well!"

Before the woman could speak, Mother Wu had stopped between the two and raised her voice: "It's really unlucky, I can meet you wherever I go." Say...... Did you kid mean to stalk my young lady!"

Shen Mu said: "It seems that you came first, why did I follow you?"

Wu Ma said: "Tut-tut...... No wonder you don't look like a good person, a big old man actually came to the rouge shop! Miss, let's stay away from him......" As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the woman into the rouge shop.

The woman smiled back and said, "Childe, don't blame ......."

Mother Wu has raised her voice and said, "Miss, don't take care of everyone...... Listen to me, this man is not a good ......"

Shen Mu couldn't help but shake his head, he really didn't know what kind of grudge he had with this Wu Ma, how he had been counted down by her many times.

A good man doesn't fight with a woman, let alone an unreasonable woman.

Shen Mu bowed to the woman and went to the inn with the package.

Wu Ma's voice came from behind him: "Miss, don't look at it, there is something wrong with this person...... You see he bought so many rouge ......"

The next words are not very clear, Shen Mu doesn't care what Wu's mother says, he is concerned about tomorrow's business affairs at this time.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Shen Mu handed the rouge box to Ma Linzi and taught him to clean the rouge gouache box.

Ma Linzi was also at a loss when he saw these gouache boxes, but he didn't ask anything, and directly followed Shen Mu's request.

Shen Mu rested for a moment, waited for Ma Linzi to send the washed box over, wiped the small box clean, and then put it in the gift box.

Don't say it, these three small boxes are quite suitable for the empty space in the gift box.

Although it is not as perfect as customization, it has a unique charm.

Throughout the ages, Shen Mu is probably the first person to use rouge boxes to make tea cans......

Early the next morning, Shen Mu took Zong Ming and Ma Linzi to enter the Tea Bureau. And Hou Cheng continued to take a group of Feng sisters and continued to "make a fuss" on the street!

Gonggong Qiu first instructed Shen Mu to pay attention to some proportions when speaking. He also taught Zhu Biao to look at Shen Mu, so as not to let him lose the heavenly power of Yunzhao Kingdom.

Zhu Biao is submissive, but Shen Mu is confident. Shen Mu has been preparing for this negotiation for a long time. What's more, this is not a meeting between the leaders of the nine countries, and there are not so many courtesies, so why scare yourself.

What surprised Shen Mu was that the Eight Nations Mission had not yet arrived. Yin Yu Yonghe, the governor of Dingzhou Mansion, actually arrived at the Zhicha Bureau first, followed by the woman in pink yesterday, but Wu Ma was nowhere to be seen.

When Gonggong Qiu saw Yu Yonghe, he first exchanged a few words of greeting and then led him to the seat beside him.

Gonggong Qiu glanced at Yu Yonghe and the girl behind him, and coughed dryly: "Lord Yu, when our family invited you to come a few days ago, you were busy with government affairs at the moment, why did you suddenly come to the Tea Bureau today...... But what instructions are there in the court?"

Yu Yonghe said with a smile: "Gonggong Qiu, you are too careful. A few days ago, Yu really couldn't leave, just after the New Year, all kinds of stalls left behind by last year had to be cleaned up one by one, and he really couldn't get out. But I thought that this matter of knowing the tea bureau was a major matter of the Dingzhou Mansion, and the official would not come. It doesn't make sense. What's more, father-in-law, you have come all the way to the boundary of my Dingzhou Mansion, if the lower officials can't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, they will feel ashamed!"

Qiu Gong said fairly: "Lord Yu is polite. Lord Yu is a feudal official, and our family is only a fourth-grade petty official, how can Lord Yu remember it like this!"

Yu Yonghe said: "My father-in-law is so worried about the affairs of Dingzhou Mansion, as a parent official, how can he turn a blind eye." So I postponed the matter for the time being, and rushed over overnight, but fortunately it was not too late. ”

Yu Yonghe paused and continued: "Oh...... This is the little girl Yu Yu. Yu'er, come and see Uncle Qiu!"

Yu Yu entered the hall and kept bowing his head and saying nothing until he saw that Shen Mu was also among them, and he was overjoyed and made a blessing to him. Hearing Yu Yongfu mention himself again, he hurriedly bowed to Gonggong Qiu and said, "Yu'er has seen Uncle!"

Gonggong Qiu laughed and said, "Okay!

Yu Yonghe said: "Where is the ......?"

When Shen Mu heard Yu Yonghe's introduction, his heart was stunned. It turned out that this woman was Yu Yonghe's daughter, no wonder she would enter Yu's mansion. This Yu Yonghe looks average, but he didn't expect to have such a beautiful daughter.

Here, the yamen sent a report that the eight-nation mission had arrived at the yamen.

Gonggong Qiu immediately led Yu Yonghe and a group of officials of all sizes to the gate to greet him.

Gonggong Qiu is a person appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is okay to be the master here.

Although Yu Yonghe's official character is high, he does not dare to offend his father-in-law Qiu, and while laughing, he respectfully leads the way by the side.

The eight countries envoys entered the front hall one after another, Shen Mu looked around, and there was no shadow of Avril, it seemed that she might just be an ordinary businessman with the group.

Yu Yu quietly approached Shen Mu, pulled his sleeve, and said, "You are Shen Mu?"

Shen Mu's mind was on the Eight Nations Mission, and when she suddenly asked, his heart was confused, and he nodded again and again: "Yes." It turns out that you are the daughter of the Yu Mansion, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Yu Yu frowned and said, "Don't talk about this first, I'll ...... I have something to tell you......"

Shen Mu said: "Miss Yu, what's the matter, can you wait until it's over here?"

Yu Yu said: "No, it's too late to ......"

Shen Mu wondered, "What's too late?"

Yu Yu said: "Alas, it's not clear for a while. I heard that you are very smart and can help me...... Can you help me get out of here......"

Shen Mu said: "Escape ???"

Yu Yu said: "Daddy always teaches people to look at me...... I can't even go and see the excitement...... If you can help me this time, I ...... I'll be sure to thank you in the future!"

When Shen Mu heard her say this, his heart was happy. It seems that every woman who reaches the age will have a period of rebellion.
