The poor water quality in the capital has always been the heart disease of the powerful and noble families, and even the emperor cannot let people carry water on their backs every day from the sweet and clear Jiangnan River.

In order to obtain high-quality water, the powerful people in the capital also racked their brains, some families found ways to filter the well water, and some families swept the winter snow in urns and stored it for summer to enjoy.

But the real solution to the problem, or rely on the mountain spring water, there is a gentle hill in the south of Bianliang, called Qifenggang, the hill is about 50 miles long, about several miles wide, there are hundreds of small hills of large and small sizes on the hill.

Since the Later Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court has strictly forbidden the people to cut wood and hunt in Qifenggang and the surrounding dozens of miles, and they are not even allowed to collect firewood.

After hundreds of years of mountain closure and afforestation, the whole hill has become lush and green, and the valley is deep.

In winter, it becomes one of the famous scenery of Bianliang, Baigang winter snow, the people of the capital will come out with their families to enjoy the snow.

The strict protection of the hill ushered in the harvest, and the sweet mountain spring water finally appeared, which simply made the royal family magnates and high-ranking officials ecstatic.

At present, there are a total of five mountain springs in Qifenggang, and a garden has been built in the landing pool of each mountain spring, the most famous of which are the plum garden and the beam garden.

The Plum Garden is a royal garden, and the mountain spring water in it is of the best quality, and it is generally reserved for the imperial palace and the royal family.

Every morning, there will be a special person to drive ox carts and donkey carts to the plum garden to get water, which is guarded by soldiers, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

The second is the Liang Garden, the water quality of the spring in the Liang Garden is slightly inferior to the Plum Garden, but the amount of water is much larger than the Plum Garden, the court officials can enjoy it for free, and at the same time sell it to the major teahouses in the capital, of course, the Alum Tower is an exception, the Alum Tower is specially approved to take water in the Plum Garden.

Further to the south, there are Chen Garden and Chai Garden, and there is also Jichun Garden, these three gardens belong to the government, and the water quality of the pond water in it is a little worse, of course, it is much better than the well water in the capital.

Ordinary people can come here to get water for free, but there is a special guard, which does not damage the water quality, and is not allowed to take more, and each person is only allowed to take one pot of water.

The water sold on the street mainly comes from the mountain spring water of Jichun Garden, which flows out of the garden and flows into a small stream to flow into Bianshui, and the water seller takes water from the stream to the capital to sell in the early morning every day.

More than an hour later, an ox cart slowly stopped at the gate of Liang Yuan, and at the gate of Liang Yuan, a wide carriage had already stopped.

Zhu Pei's carriage was faster, and she had already arrived one step ahead, and her carriage couldn't accommodate so many people, only Cheng Yuanyuan and the little maid followed her.

Fan Ning, Su Liang and Cheng Ze went by ox cart.

"This is Liang Yuan?"

Cheng Ze jumped off the oxcart and looked at the garden in front of him, which is a garden covering an area of hundreds of acres, along the mountain, surrounded by high walls, and hundreds of exquisite pavilions and pavilions are distributed within the high walls.

A mountain stream is flowing down a stone cliff, and the sound of rushing water can be faintly heard outside the garden.

Fanning also got out of the ox cart and saw that the gate was open, and a dozen workers were repairing some dilapidated doorposts.

He looked at the carriage in the distance again, and said to the three of them, "They should have already entered!" ”

At this time, the little maid cuckoo ran out and saluted: "The two girls are resting in the teahouse inside, please go in!" ”

"There's a teahouse in there?"

Cheng Ze's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Can anyone go in?" ”

Su Liang next to him said with a smile: "I heard that there is a door in the place where the water is taken, and it is estimated that it is strictly controlled over there." ”

The three of them walked into the gate of the garden, and at a glance they saw a two-story shop, above which was holding a flag with black edges on a yellow background, and the four big characters on the flag were written 'Liangyuan Tea House'.

By the window on the second floor, Fan Ning faintly saw Zhu Pei's figure, and the three of them walked quickly into the teahouse.

The teahouse is filled with a faint fragrance of tea, very elegantly arranged, a small table for four people to sit around, tables and chairs with exquisite workmanship, the lobby is very quiet, only two old men are sitting opposite each other in the corner to drink tea.

A guy greeted him and smiled: "Three officials, please come with me!" ”

The three of them followed the men to the second floor, the layout of the second floor and the first floor is similar, but there are many more screens, and a series of exquisite screens divide the tea house into an independent space.

"Why did you guys come, we've been waiting for a long time!" Zhu Pei stepped forward and complained a little.

Fanning spread his hands, "The cow leg can't outrun the horse's leg, and we can't help it!" ”

"Then you can't run over on your own?"

Zhu Pei glanced at him, and greeted Su Liang and Cheng Ze with a smile, "Come and sit down and rest, the tea here is good!" ”

Cheng Ze asked Su Liang in a low voice, "I found that this Miss Zhu doesn't seem to have a good tone towards Fan Ning?" The attitude towards us was very good. ”

Even Su Liang found that this Cheng Ze was too interested in Zhu Pei, and he said angrily: "That means that people have a close relationship, the more polite they are to you, the more unfamiliar they are, don't understand this?" ”

Cheng Ze was right to think about it, so he had to touch his nose stupidly, walked to the table and sat down.

"Aning, you sit here!"

Zhu Pei naturally pointed to his side, Fan Ning's face was a little red, and he sat down under Su Liang's secretly teasing gaze.

Zhu Pei was happy when he saw that Fanning had given him face, so he picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of tea, handed the teacup to Fanning, and smiled at him: "I also fried a pot of tea, how about you taste it?" ”

The best feature of this teahouse is that only water and tea utensils are provided, and the sencha is left to the guests themselves.

"When did you learn sencha?" Fanning asked curiously.

Zhu Pei pursed his lips, "I've been good since I was a child, but when I'm in a good mood, I fry myself and drink!" ”

"Then I'm honored today!"

"Drink if you want, why is there so much nonsense?"

Fanning picked up the tea bowl and sniffed, a fragrant tea fragrance came to his nose, he drank it all, and blurted out: "Good tea!" ”

Zhu Pei immediately smiled, and filled Fanning's teacup again.

Cheng Ze, who was sitting opposite, looked itchy and wanted to ask for a cup of Zhu Pei's fried tea, but before he could speak, Cheng Yuanyuan had already poured him full of tea.

"Big brother, try my fried tea, the water here is okay."

Cheng Ze looked at the teapot in front of Zhu Pei greedily, but Cheng Yuanyuan kicked him under the table.

Cheng Ze had no choice but to pick up the tea, take a sip, and nodded: "Although it can't be compared with the Mingyue Spring in Shugang, Yangzhou, it is much stronger than the water in the city." ”

Cheng Yuanyuan poured Su Liang another cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Su also tastes it!" ”

The delicate 'Brother Su' made Su Liang's heart melt.

Flattered, he picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and praised exaggeratedly: "Good tea, this tea is only available in heaven, how many times can I taste it in the world?" ”

Everyone laughed together, Cheng Yuanyuan's face was suddenly full of shyness, and he glanced at Su Liang lightly, but his heart was full of sweetness.

Su Liang was triumphant, pretending not to see Fan Ning's vomiting.

Fanning couldn't stand this guy's numbness, so he had to get up and walk to the window.

From the window, you can clearly see the waterhole 100 steps away, the waterhole is blue and blue, and the waterfall with white flowers falls from the cliff in the sky, making the surrounding water mist filled.

Zhu Pei walked up to him and said with a smile: "The water here is not bad, I heard that the water quality of Chen Yuan and Chai Yuan is much worse, we don't want to go to see it anymore." ”

"I heard that the water here doesn't seem to be for sale!"

Zhu Pei smiled slightly: "The water here is only supplied to the hundred officials of the imperial court and the top ten teahouses in the capital, if you like the water here, I can take it in the name of my father, and I don't need to spend a penny." ”

Fanning didn't really want to use Jupe's father's name, he smiled and asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Then you have to spend money to buy it, just now the teahouse shopkeeper said that he has to send water to the teahouse in the city every day, and he can send you five pots of water every day, directly to your residence, but each pot costs twenty yuan, can you accept this price?"

Fanning smiled: "In fact, we are five people, let's share it, twenty cents per person per day, I think it's acceptable!" ”

At this time, Su Liang and the three of them got out of the teahouse and ran towards the waterhole, Su Liang turned around and waved to Fan Ning and shouted, "Fan Ning, let's go together!" ”

Fanning smiled: "You go first, I'll come over later!" ”

Fan Ning said to Zhu Pei again: "Do you know why this Cheng Ze brought his sister to the capital?" ”

"I can see it!"

Zhu Pei asked Fan Ning with a smile again: "I heard Cheng Yuanyuan say, you went to Yangzhou halfway?" ”

Fan Ning briefly said what happened in Zhenjiang, and finally sighed: "I don't know how to persuade Su Liang now, it seems that he is completely trapped, I hope this matter can have a happy result, Su Liang's parents can accept Cheng Yuanyuan, if the final result is to beat the mandarin duck, I will be sorry for my friend." ”

Zhu Pei calmly listened to Fan Ning's narration, and she hit the nail on the head and said: "The key is whether Su Liang can be admitted to the children's department, if he is admitted, he can say anything, and if he can't pass the exam, Su Liang's parents will definitely think that Cheng Yuanyuan delayed their son." ”
