No one expected that a tea battle would make a hairy boy come out on top. But they are all connoisseurs of tea tasting, seeing that this young man's tea soup is white in the green, the bowl wall is not scattered, and they can smell the fragrance of this wisp of tea. Everyone doesn't say it, but they all admire it in their hearts.

Mo Chenglin looked at the young man carefully, but saw that he was dressed luxuriously, and there was a bit of nobility in his extraordinary gestures, and then he looked at his servant Zhang Di, who was also clear and beautiful, and his face was pure, which was very different from those evil servants in the city.

He also felt a little happy in his heart, and thought to himself: "Seeing that this young man doesn't look like a child of anointing, maybe Helu has relied on him in the second half of his life, and Minglou is also ......" However, he still had some concerns. If the other party is the son of an official eunuch, then this family affair will never be settled.

So Mo Chenglin took a step forward and said with a smile: "Little Lao'er is not presumptuous, he dares to ask the name of his son." In the future, if there is fate, the little old man will come to visit, and it may not be said. ”

All the tea customers also listened patiently, and they also wanted to know who this tea master was. As long as he gave his name and asked each other, most of them could find out who he was.

The young man was also quite humble, bowed to Mo Chenglin slightly, and said with a smile: "I don't know my name, and I'm afraid that no one will know if I say it." ”

As he spoke, he dipped his finger in the tea and wrote on the table. "The surname is Zhao, the same surname as the country, and there is honor. The single name is a Pang word, the cursive word is auspicious, and the meaning of auspicious people is taken. ”

All the tea guests looked at each other, and they all looked blank, and they didn't seem to know this Zhao Pang Zhao Renji.

Mo Chenglin also frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help but look back at Mrs. Wei, as if asking her. Mrs. Wei knew what he meant, so she also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know this person.

"Oh, it turned out to be Zhao Xian's nephew. It is indeed rare to see that the virtuous nephew is young, but he has such a good tea art skill. Mo Chenglin politely said a few words, then turned his head to Du Juan and said, "This Zhao Gongzi is an extraordinary person, and he has to serve him with his heart." ”

"Yes." The cuckoo folded his hands in front of his abdomen, bowed and saluted, and then said to Zhao Pang with a smile: "Son, please come with the little one." ”

"Tired girl." Zhao Pang saluted, but saw Zhang Di beside him looking at the back of the cuckoo in a daze, so he knocked on his head with a folding fan and reprimanded softly: "Look at what, don't be afraid of people's jokes!" Zhang Di touched his head and said "oh", and went with his son-in-law.

Mo Chenglin turned his head and asked Mrs. Wei with a smile: "In Madame's opinion, what is the character of this person?" ”

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "This person is elegant and elegant, but he looks like a scholar who rushes to the field. It's good to be very good, but the most disdainful thing in Helu's life is to deal with such people. ”

Mo Chenglin was displeased, and thought to himself: "What do you know, how can making friends and choosing a husband be treated equally." You are so informal, but isn't your husband Zeng Bu also a gentle gentleman? But after all, it was in the way of face, so he had to say: "I have to let Helu see it." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, I'll call her." With that, he turned around and left. Mo Chenglin looked at her back and couldn't help sighing, thinking, "This Mrs. Wei and Helu are really exactly the same. ”

Mrs. Wei pushed open the door of Zhengqixuan's room, and saw Mo Yunxiao with her hands behind her back, with her back to her, looking at a painting on the wall. Mrs. Wei's heart moved, and she couldn't help but feel pity: "Alas, poor girl. I know you don't want to get married, but you don't have to pretend to look at the painting to force your composure. ”

"Yuru, what's the situation outside?" Mo Yunxiao turned around and asked.

Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows, stepped forward quickly and grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister, I only need a word from you, do you want to marry someone in such a daze?" If you don't want to, your father has me to go around, and you don't have to look at any Rausch paintings here! ”

Mo Yunxiao was taken aback and asked, "How can you say this?" ”

Mrs. Wei stomped her foot heavily in anger and said hurriedly: "What are you talking about, your father has already hung a golden beetle son-in-law." Now I want you to go out and see you. If that guy is a monkey in a hurry, moves three books and six rites, and meets the ancestors of heaven and earth, then it will be too late for you to regret it! ”

Mo Yunxiao's eyes widened at first, and she couldn't hide her panicked look. But soon, she calmed down again.

She smiled bitterly, gently took off the hand that Mrs. Wei was holding her, and said, "The person I love has something else in my heart." What is the difference between me marrying and not marrying? Am I really going to be alone in the empty boudoir and grow old with red candles for him? ”

Mrs. Wei was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Who is your beloved?" ”

Mo Yunxiao's gaze suddenly became firm, she looked directly into Mrs. Wei's eyes, and said, "It's the one who wants to withdraw from my marriage at all costs." ”

"Huh? Song Mingxuan! Mrs. Wei was taken aback again, then shook her head and said, "Although Song Mingxuan is handsome, he is benevolent and cowardly by nature. Helu, like me, is a dashing and wanton person, how can you like him? ”

"Just because he's the best man I've ever treated since I crossed over." Mo Yunxiao said sneeringly.

Mrs. Wei didn't hear clearly, and asked in her ear, "What?" ”

Mo Yunxiao came back to her senses at this time, and said with a busy smile: "It's nothing, don't mention this sad thing." Yuru, you come to see this painting with me, like Mi Fu's real handiwork? ”

Mrs. Wei looked up and saw that there was a landscape painting depicting strange rocks hanging on the wall. Although there is a gurgling stream, the strange rocks occupy the most central picture. The lower right corner of the painting is stamped with a seal, and the four official characters are written on it: "Mi Fu's seal".

Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "This is indeed Mi Fu's true handiwork." ”

"How so?" Mo Yunxiao asked with a smile.

"Although I don't know how to draw, I still know a thing or two about calligraphy." Mrs. Wei said: "Mi Fu's glyphs have both, familiar but not vulgar, strange but not strange, I believe that no one in the world can imitate." ”

Mo Yunxiao also nodded and smiled: "Yes, Mi Fu's words are indeed of the highest quality, but his paintings are also excellent." This strange stone uses a combination of brushwork and splashing ink, which is both bony and a little plump. Except for Mi Fu, I'm afraid no one dares to use a pen like this. ”

Mrs. Wei was a little suspicious, and asked sideways, "Helu, when did you also like calligraphy and painting?" It's not like you. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly and said, "People will change. If I become someone else's family in the future, won't I have to teach my husband and children, how can I cause trouble as indiscriminately as before? ”

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Wei became more and more worried. She said with concern: "I know that you are bitter in your heart, but you don't have to do this to yourself. All I want is that you can live as you please, without scruples about anything. Whether it's Minglou, your father, or Song Mingxuan, you don't have to scruple. I just want you to be back to your old self. ”

Mo Yunxiao took Mrs. Wei's hand and said with a smile: "I remember Yuru's words." Let's go and meet the golden beetle son-in-law that my father hanged. ”

At this time, it was close to dusk. Zhao Pang and Zhang Di were still waiting in the private room. Zhang Di was pacing back and forth a little anxiously, but Zhao Renji was calm, shaking the folding fan and looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Zhang Di, you have to change your temperament. If you always do this, how dare I take you out again in the future? Zhao Pang said lightly.

Zhang Di greeted him and said: "Son, this Mo family is too arrogant, so we have waited for a long time, and there is no one." ”

"What are you anxious about?" Zhao Pang said with a smile: "So many people came to fight tea for Mo Yunxiao, presumably this woman is extraordinary." Hehe, daughter's family, it's also necessary to be reserved. ”

Zhang Di didn't think so, and thought secretly: "This Mo Yunxiao doesn't even pay attention to the Heavenly King Laozi, how can he still know what to be reserved." But he only thought in his heart, and didn't dare to say it.

I heard the door squeak open, as if someone had walked in. The master and servant looked back at the same time, but saw that the door was still closed. Before they had time to wonder, they heard a woman's delicate voice from behind the screen: "Childe has been waiting for a long time, the little woman is late, rude and lazy, I hope to invite Childe Haihan to be one." ”

Zhao Pang followed the sound and looked at it, and then he understood. It turned out that the house had two doors. One main entrance and one side door. The side door was behind the screen, and Zhao Pang and Zhang Di didn't look closely, so they didn't find it.

When you think about it, this arrangement is quite reasonable. After all, both parties are unmarried men and women, and it is inconvenient to be in the same room, so it is more appropriate to use a screen to separate them.

Zhao Pang thought to himself: "I thought that the merchant family did not pay attention to etiquette, but I didn't expect it to be so regular, but it is an upright family." ”

So he stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Xiaosheng Zhao Pang, the cursive character Renji, passed by by chance today, and participated in the tea fighting conference for a while. ”

The woman behind the screen secretly looked out from the gap in the screen, only to see that this person was extravagant, his skin was like white jade, and his demeanor was also down-to-earth and generous.

I only heard her say: "Childe, do you know why Minglou holds this tea party?" ”

"I heard that it was for the eldest daughter of Minglou, Miss Helu, to choose a son-in-law." Zhao Pang replied.

The woman smiled: "I see that Gongzi is not a frivolous person. Childe knows the reason, and he can still come to the tea party, presumably it also has the meaning of seeking a phoenix? ”

Zhao Pang said with a smile: "I came in a hurry today, but I never thought about climbing high. It's just that Xiaosheng often hears the name of Miss Helu, so he asks to see it. If you fall in love, you will be introduced to each other as confidants, and what is the matter of marriage...... It can also be considered in the long run. ”

"Childe!" When Zhang Di heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but change color, as if he wanted to dissuade him. But he folded the fan and blocked Zhang Di's words.

"I don't know where my son's family lives, and what do my parents do?" The woman asked.

Zhao Pang thought for a moment and replied: "Xiaosheng is a traveling businessman, and he has no fixed residence, so he only lives temporarily in Daxiangguo Temple. Both parents also died early, and there was nothing to worry about. ”

"Oh, that's it." The woman's voice was a little low, as if disappointed with his answer.

Zhao Pang said again: "Since the girl wants to choose a son-in-law, and Xiaosheng also won the tea party, why not exchange a token, he can meet one day?" ”

The woman pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, then let's change it." The tone sounded extremely perfunctory, very different from what it had just been.

At this time, a yellow-clothed maid came out from behind the screen, holding a jade pendant, slowly walked in front of Zhao Pang, and said with a smile: "Please take it, sir." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Pang clenched his fists and arched his hand, picked up the jade pendant, and shone in the sun, only to see a small "Mo" character engraved on it, and a camellia on the other side. Although this jade pendant is exquisitely made, it is also an ordinary product, and seven or eight hanging money can be used to create a pair.

But Zhao Pang didn't think it was strange, and turned back to Zhang Di and said, "This is a token from the Mo family's girl, you have to take it." ”

"Yes." Zhang Di carefully took the jade pendant, but his expression was disdainful.

"I was born in a hurry, I have no long things, only this fan is still precious." As he spoke, he handed the folding fan to the maid and said, "Please don't be surprised by Miss Mo." ”

The maid curtsied and smiled, "Where is it." The small ones will also be carefully collected. With that, he retreated.

Zhao Pang made a gesture and said, "In this case, Xiaosheng will leave for the time being." ”

"The tea house is not considerate, don't blame the son." The woman replied lightly.
