Shen Changle's voice gradually choked, and he couldn't stop crying.

Su Qixiao realized that this trip was really abrupt, so he asked Su Xu to ask her to sit down, and asked Chunqiu to enter the house by the way.

After listening to what Shen Changle said, King Fengling's eyes were gloomy. She never knew that the people outside Yangzhou City were vastly different from the people living in the city, and she thought that the Shen family's father was a good official who worried about the people everywhere, so she couldn't help but be moved and blamed herself: "The hemp rope is broken from the details, and the wicked deceive the hard-working people, which is the negligence of the king's administration." ”

Shen Changle knelt down and kowtowed, "Please let His Royal Highness King Fengling take a clear look." ”

Oiran's sister Spring and Autumn returned to the house at this time, and when she saw Shen Changle's tears in her eyes, she knew that she had finally reached the time when she was expected to fulfill her father's last wish.

Su Qixiao opened his mouth and mentioned: "This king heard Chunqiu mention an interesting thing a few days ago, since Chunqiu knows the inside story, let her say it next." ”

"Yes."

The Spring and Autumn Festival is gentle, telling the story of a Yangzhou wine lady -

"In the city of Yangzhou, I don't know when it began, a seven-word poem "Apricot Blossom Drunk" that is well known to women and children gradually emerged. Among them, the sentence "Yangzhou noblewomen should be ashamed, not as good as apricot blossoms" is particularly famous.

"Apricot blossom, refers to the wine that is drunk with apricot blossoms; The person who brews apricot blossom drunk is called the apricot wine girl.

Xingjiuji was young and had a hard life, and her family suffered many changes, so she began to learn to make wine to supplement her family. But since the day her stall came out, she has always been squeezed out by the owner of the tavern in the city and caused trouble. Until one day, the slave maid passed by and bought a pot, and was surprised by the aroma of wine, so she invited Xingjiu Ji to come to Guangling downstairs to sell, so she met her.

With her own wine recipes, her apricot blossom wine is quite popular with the drinkers in the building, and her good reputation has slowly spread. Until the first "Apricot Blossom Drunk" in Yangzhou appeared!

One day, the slave maid took advantage of her free time to go out of the city to visit, and learned that "Apricot Blossom Drunk" turned out to be written by a mysterious old man on the outskirts of the city.

When this old man first arrived in Yangzhou two years ago, he came from afar to experience the wind and rain all the way, and happened to meet a wine girl who was returning home from a stall. The old man, who regarded wine as his life and had a dry mouth, could not take out the silver taels, so the girl asked him to wait where he was for a while, and then he went home and came back again. The wine girl who went back and forth for several miles was sweating, but she just smiled lightly, and poured the green glazed wine pot for the old man for free.

Interestingly, the mysterious old man saw that the girl had the heart to save the poor, so he had the heart to point out the shortcomings of her family's apricot blossom wine, and taught the improvement method, making her self-brewing a signboard. Later, the old man named the wine Xinghua Drunk and sang a poem, and since then, the girl has also been called the Apricot Wine Lady.

The full text of "Apricot Blossom Drunk" is catchy, and it has been widely circulated in the suburbs and countryside near and far. As for the origin of the famous sentence, in fact, everyone who sees the wine Ji has the same feeling, although she herself was born in the folk countryside, the charm is gentle and elegant, the apricot hairpin with long black hair with her pure spirit, as if the hair really bloomed a spring apricot blossom. In addition, the brewed apricot blossoms are drunk and taste good, and the reputation is worthy of the name.

"With the increasing number of drinkers, the poor life of the Xingjiu family has finally improved.

"But the good times didn't last long......

"Apricot wine Ji was famous, and it attracted Wu Kai's spicy hands to destroy flowers. Wu Kai saw that her pretty face was worthy of her reputation, and he had the idea of accepting her into the house as a concubine. After that, Wu Kai brought a lot of family members to forcibly kidnap Xingjiuji, and at that time, a scholar and Jiu Xiaoer swore to protect her, and finally disappeared.

"This scholar and Jiu Xiaoer are both her friends, and the apricot hairpin in Xingjiu Ji's hair was bought for her with all their money. The life and death of the two of them are uncertain, and the apricot wine Ji has disappeared since then, and she will no longer sell wine.

"That mysterious old man is the old man who is stepping on the clouds.

"And Xingjiu Ji is Shen Changle in front of His Highness."

An hour later, Zhao Zhiyan, the chief soldier of Yangzhou, rushed to Tayun Road.

Zhao Zhiyan was ordered by King Fengling to investigate the official records the day before yesterday, and came to make it clear at this time: "The last general has basically found out the deeds of Wu Kai and several powerful sons and daughters who oppressed the people and robbed the land deed in the suburbs of Yangzhou. It is said that there were two major events when Wu Kai invaded the fields, one was that a scholar went to the city alone to sue Wu Kai and others, but he suffered a tragic accident on the way, and the evidence in his hand was also burned after the scholar disappeared; The second is that there is a group of people who don't know whether they are heroes or bandits, in order to protect Shen Changle and Wu Kai's eagle dogs, there was a firefight, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The leader is said to be the famous wine Xiaoer, if it weren't for the two dart masters of the Wu family, the wine Xiaoer almost killed Wu Kai. After these two major events that caused trouble to the government, Wu Kai unilaterally bullied the people from weekdays, and his life was in danger for the first time. ”

Gao Yingchen understood that the deeds were true, and couldn't suppress his angry thoughts, and ordered: "From now on, prepare to liquidate the Wu clan in full!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhao Zhiyan received the order, whispered to King Fengling before leaving, and then was ordered to leave and return to Yangzhou.

Su Qixiao walked out of the door and breathed a sigh, and when he returned to the house, when he saw Gao Yingchen's angry appearance, he knew that Zhao Zhiyan must not have brought her good news.

But Su Qixiao is not the lord of Yangzhou after all, it is really difficult to be angry for her, but I am afraid that Gao Yingchen will be too angry and hurt her body, so Su Qixiao deliberately pointed to the location of the cabinet and asked Shen Changle: "After chatting for so long, why don't you bother Miss Shen to make two more cups of tea?" ”

Shen Changle's body trembled, and in the carved wooden window was the rare egret pattern tea tripod, it seemed that His Royal Highness King Su had already noticed it.

Shen Changle didn't dare to disobey, and responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Gao Yingchen glanced at Shen Changle's figure, and couldn't help but say: "The reputation of Xingjiu Ji, this king has heard of it, but he didn't expect it to be Miss Shen." ”

The corners of Su Qixiao's mouth curled, and his eyes were like torches: "Yes, and our Changle girl seems to have other interesting secrets." ”

Su Qixiao originally planned to leave after learning about the Shen family, but the appearance of this high-quality and familiar tea tripod in the Shen family really aroused his greater interest.

Shen Changle took out the egret pattern tea tripod and hurriedly explained to the two highnesses: "My father is an honest official, and he has never been corrupt about anything. ”

Su Qixiao understood Shen Changle's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "Miss Shen misunderstood, Ling Zun's sleeves are breezy, this king admires, this king just wants to learn from you about the origin of this object." ”

Shen Changle, who was making tea, didn't know much about tea, and although he took out the most cherished Ming Dynasty gift gift from his old friend, Shen Changle was still worried that the two highnesses would be condescended.

However, she didn't expect that the quality of this tea was surprisingly extraordinary, and it was not half a point worse than the tea used by Fengling Wangfu to entertain King Su?!

This tea is shaped like pine needles, the bottom of the leaves is tender and green, and the tea leaves produced in Gusu City are very similar to the white and dewy tea leaves, and the tea mercury is clear and green, which is undoubtedly the top grade, even the Fengling King who does not like to drink tea tasted it, and was amazed and surprised.

Gao Yingchen tapped Su Qixiao on the side with his fingertips and pushed the teacup in front of him.

Su Qixiao glanced at it, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Yingchen said: "You taste it, with your tea tasting skills, you should be able to drink it." ”

Su Qixiao will appoint Shen Changle to make tea, and at first he just wanted to see the rather familiar egret pattern tea tripod. But now this tea seems to be more interesting.

Su Qixiao twisted a few pieces of slender and emerald green dry tea with his fingertips, took a sip of tea soup, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "This king used to visit a prince's mansion most often, and it was this tea that he tasted in his mansion. As far as this king knows, this is the gyokuro tea produced in Gangneung, a tribute from the Yangcheng Palace of the Divine Capital. ”

King Feng Ling was surprised: "Jiangling? Chunfeng's fiefdom! ”

Shen Changle was very shrewd, and immediately heard that since His Royal Highness King Su, who did not often open Chrysostom, would introduce the origin of this tea, he was obviously asking himself such a precious tribute tea, how could she have it as a people's daughter? Of course, even Shen Changle himself didn't expect that this jar of the old man's thing was actually tribute tea......

Shen Changle saluted and said: "Back to Your Highness, Changle mentioned two childhood sweethearts before, and this tea and tea tripod were given by one of the scholar friends. ”

"Scholar friend?" Su Qixiao tasted the osmanthus cake and suddenly looked at her.

Shen Changle remembered the people and things that were separated in the past, sadness gradually appeared in his pupils, and he nodded: "Yes, one of them is a wine junior, and the other is a drunken scholar who disappeared later." ”

The tip of Dong Xia's nose approached Su Qixiao's teacup and sniffed it, and said curiously: "Your Highness, is this tea really so good?" ”

Su Qixiao gently shook the green liquor in the cup, his eyes were very deep, and said: "The quality of Gyokuro tea has nothing to do with quality, it is a symbol of imperial grace, Gyokuro tea was personally rewarded by His Majesty to the royal family, and only a few people were rewarded. ”

Shen Changle suddenly panicked, how could she have met such an unangry and self-righteous aura of King Su, standing in place in a daze, Zhang Huang explained in a daze: "Your Highness, the little girl didn't lie, it was really the little girl's scholar who gave ......"

Su Qixiao looked at her fixedly and asked, "Does he like to wear white clothes the most?!" ”

"Your Highness...... Yes......"

"Enough!"

King Fengling interrupted with a loud scolding, waved his hand to let Shen Changle retreat, then looked at Su Qixiao again, and comforted in a low voice: "Tian Jin, I know that the father of Yulu Tea has given Chunfeng, and I also know that Chunfeng likes to wear white clothes and osmanthus cakes, and I know that you are eager to read Chunfeng!" The people of Kesi have passed away, and Chunfeng is the prince of the hundred flowers of Gangneung...... How did you get acquainted with the ordinary folk girls of Yangzhou? ”

Su Qixiao's eyes twitched, and he stopped talking.

He laughed at himself in his heart: "This trip to Tiandao Mountain is to thoroughly investigate Chunfeng's traces before he died, I never thought that he was gone, and he still couldn't escape the turmoil in the wind." ”

Su Qixiao looked at the hot tea ripples and was stunned, he was originally here to inquire about Wu Kai, and the sudden unexpected joy was close at hand, but it was untouchable.

After being silent for a long time, Su Qixiao finally spoke-

"This king still doesn't want to miss any news about Chunfeng."

Gao Yingchen looked gentle and nodded.

Su Qixiao asked, "Miss Shen, do you know King Jiangling of Great Xia?" ”

Shen Changle's delicate face flashed with a trace of sorrow, and he replied truthfully: "That prince named Gao Chunfeng, the little girl was fortunate to have a relationship with him. ”

The hearts of the two princes trembled at the same time, even if Su Qixiao had a slight premonition before, the moment he heard Gao Chunfeng's name, his trembling fingers couldn't hold the teacup.

Gao Yingchen waved his hand and ordered the others: "You guys should retreat first." ”

Su Qixiao's voice trembled slightly, and then asked, "What kind of person is Miss Shen's scholarly friend?" Has he ever told you about the origin of this tea? As for Chunfeng, how did you meet? ”

"Returning to Your Highness......"

Shen Changle respectfully gave a blessing gift, held the cherished tea tripod in his hand, and told the story of his childhood sweetheart......
