Volume 1: I Didn’t Know When I Traveled At the Beginning
"Here comes the tea." Outside the room, Shen Chen gently knocked on the door and said.
"Bring it in." Haoyue originally wanted to get up and open the door for Shen Chen, but then he was too lazy to stand up, so he shouted this loudly.
Shen Chen pushed open the door and walked in, putting the teapot and teacup on the table. "Hey, poor man, why do you treat your lover like this?" Li Shixia was surprised, why was she so cold to Shen Chen.
It was as if she was the uncle and Shen Chen was the handyman. If she would treat him like this after he married her... Li Shixia shook his head and got rid of all the random thoughts in his head. If she really dares to do that , if she is different from the average woman who obeys her husband when she gets married, I will definitely be able to overcome her bad habits.
After listening to Li Shixia's words, Haoyue shook her head in disappointment and whispered: "A child cannot be taught." She thought he had figured it out. At such a young age, there was no such thing as friendship. But he Now, it's obvious that I think highly of him.
Shen Chen heard him call him that again, and he called him that in front of Haoyue, and his face turned red instantly. But he still argued: "Don't talk nonsense, Haoyue and I are innocent."
Haoyue looked at Shen Chen and was speechless towards him. Is his retort in such a low voice and lacking in confidence a rebuttal? Why did she feel that he was admitting it in disguise?
"Really? If you are innocent, you take her to school every day? If you are innocent, you work in a restaurant? If you are innocent..."
"Where did you come from with so much nonsense? What does this have to do with innocence? He is my neighbor, and what's wrong with taking me to school on behalf of my father? He has to come to the city to work anyway, and he is just dropping me off along the way. What's the problem with this? We worked together in the same restaurant, but because this restaurant happened to be short of people, I hired him. What's wrong? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Does this have anything to do with our relationship?" Haoyue said quickly.
Until he finished speaking, Li Shixia just looked at her and couldn't answer a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he didn't understand what Haoyue said at all. It was too fast, so that he couldn't answer the words. .
Haoyue looked at his expression of being completely 'impressed' by herself, raised her lips with satisfaction, and poured a cup of tea.
Before she could raise the tea cup and pour it into her mouth, Shen Chen called her from behind: "Haoyue."
Haoyue's hand holding the teacup stiffened for a moment, and then she naturally handed the teacup to Li Shixia: "I've been talking for so long, come on, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." He picked up another teapot and poured some water from it. A glass of water and drink it into your stomach.
"Hey, why did you drink that pot of water yourself, but gave me this pot of water?" Li Shixia did not suspect anything like poisoning, but was very dissatisfied with drinking two pots of tea. Is he just annoying her like that? I don’t want to share a pot of tea with him.
"My pot is white water." Haoyue said, picking up the teapot at hand. "Your pot is tea." Haoyue put down the teapot.
Li Shixia said nothing more, picked up the tea cup at hand and started drinking. In his mind, he was thinking, 'That's it. I thought it was the same thing given to different people in different pots.'
However, "Pfft." "What kind of tea is this? Why does it taste so bad?" Li Shixia only took a sip. As soon as he tasted the taste on his tongue, he couldn't bear it and spit it out.
Shen Chen smiled and bowed slightly, saying politely, "This is Biluochun."
"What's Biluochun! Do you think this young master has never drank Biluochun? Is such a bad taste Biluochun?" Li Shixia slammed the cup on the table and said angrily. They regarded him as an ignorant commoner. Are you confused? Could such a bad-tasting tea be Biluochun?
"You don't know that." Haoyue raised her face and looked serious.
"There are several types of Biluochun. Although the ordinary Biluochun has a sweet taste, it has a stronger fragrance. But there is another kind that most people have never tasted. The top-grade Biluochun has this taste. This is our shopkeeper Daye This tea can only be obtained by having a large and wide road. If it weren't for Mr. Li's powerful family background, it would be impossible to serve you this kind of tea. You know, our shopkeeper didn't get a few pieces of this kind of Biluochun tea cake. !”
Although the smile on Shen Chen's face didn't change much, it was obviously wider than before.
There is a big bag of this kind of tea cake in the kitchen behind, specially for those who don't like it or are looking for trouble. But before, if they encountered someone throwing a cup and yelling at someone, what Shopkeeper Yang taught them was, ' The tea in our store all tastes like this. If you are not satisfied, please go elsewhere to drink tea. The purpose is to drive people away quickly. But they have never been taught what to say if the person is annoying but cannot be driven away.
But now, Haoyue has taught him what that rhetoric is, which is nonsense and exaggeration.
"Hey, who are you lying to? How come I don't know about Biluochun like this? This is clearly not Biluochun, it's the rotten tea you brewed for me on purpose! No wonder you're drinking plain water there because you think the tea tastes bad. , I would rather drink water!" Li Shixia was not fooled.
But Haoyue had another trick. She immediately picked up the teapot and handed it to Shen Chen: "Believe it or not. How could the shopkeeper let us, the waiters, drink such a good tea and such a rare tea? You like to drink it?" If you don’t drink it, you’ll save money. Shen Chen, please send this pot of tea to Shopkeeper Hua’s room quickly and tell him that there is a guest who doesn’t want to drink it and won’t pay his bill. Ask him how to deal with this pot of tea.”
"Okay." Shen Chen cooperated very well and responded before opening the door and leaving the wing.
"Wait a minute!" Maybe it was Haoyue's expression that was too serious, or maybe it was Shen Chen's anxious move to open the door that made Li Shixia feel something was wrong.
'Perhaps, that is really excellent tea, but I don't know the goods?' Thinking like this, Li Shixia stopped Shen Chen: "Put this tea down. I remembered that my grandfather once said that it is best to The Biluochun tea is indeed of this taste. He also said that this tea is extremely rare and rare in our Central Plains. A small piece of tea cake is priceless.
When you go out, I will thank the shopkeeper of this restaurant and tell him that it is a great honor for Li to be favored by him and serve such a good tea. Li will definitely bring some rare things to return the favor in the future. "
Listening to what he said, Haoyue thought to herself: 'It turns out that he didn't completely skip the class. On the contrary, he still listened to Master Han's class. At least such polite and polite words came out of his mouth as if they were spoken smoothly. .'
But Shen Chen was thinking, 'This fool really thinks this is good tea.'
"Chen Chen, put down the teapot. Master Li will enjoy it slowly, and we will go out now. When you want to order, just open the door and call the waiter outside." He had already said that he would thank the shopkeeper properly when they went out, so now Go out and thank him.
In the lobby on the first floor.
Yang Qianzhan looked at the handsome face in front of him after taking off his bamboo hat, and laughed: "Why are you here in this little place?"
"I came to see you, He Fengchen. How are you doing?"
"We are very good. As for you, Zhigui, you study so hard, but you have already passed the exam?"
Zhi Gui smiled shyly: "I passed the exam. I am the number one scholar in Jinke. The emperor made me the Taichang Minister."
"Taichang Shiqing? So you are now a third-rank official! Not bad for you." Yang Qianzhan was a little surprised that Zhigui became a third-rank official as soon as he entered the court, and was really happy for him.
"What a senior official, I'm just a third grader." Zhigui was obviously still very immature and shy.
"From the 3rd grade to the 3rd grade! We, Zhigui, are really amazing. I believe that with your talent, it will only be a matter of time before you reach the third grade."
As he spoke, Yang Qianzhan couldn't help but sigh: "I still remember when we first met, you told me about how you chiseled away the walls and stripped them bare. I laughed so hard at that time. You also said you were so in love. After studying, I feel sorry for that wall if I don't let you achieve anything. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. This is what the saying goes. 'Hard work pays off.'" How could I have thought of what made me feel so ridiculous at the beginning? Man, now he has achieved something.
"This is all thanks to you Qian Zan. If you hadn't allowed me to study in your home, provided me with candlelight, and gave me free food, I would have saved a lot of silver to buy for my scientific examination. Wu Shi. I won’t be here today either.” Zhi Gui looked at Yang Qian Zan sincerely and said seriously.
"No matter where you are, it's easy to raise a finger. It's easy to raise a finger. That house is empty, and it can add some popularity to you." Yang Qianzhan said with some embarrassment. In fact, at that time, she just thought he was too pitiful and stretched out her hand. It was just a help to him. To him, it was nothing at all. Besides, he didn't expect that he would really be successful at that time. Now that he has become a high official, he really doesn't know what to say to thank himself.
"Qian Zan is too humble. Don't worry, I will definitely remember your kindness to me. If Qian Zan comes to me for help with anything in the future, I will do my best to help you!" Zhi Gui made a lifelong promise. , just to repay Yang Qianzhan for helping him during the imperial examination.
"Haha, I didn't..."
"Shopkeeper Yang, what are you doing?" Haoyue finally ran out of the side room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Qianzhan chatting leisurely with a diner.
I don't know why, but I feel a little unhappy in my heart. 'He said that he has a distinguished guest to welcome. Is he the one wearing gray and black clothes? I don't see how expensive he is.'
Haoyue is not a person who judges people by their appearance. He is like this now because he is dissatisfied with how leisurely Yang Qianzhan is now, combined with his strenuous battle of wits just now.
Yang Qianzhan raised his head and looked at Haoyue who was on the second floor with a face full of "I'm very unhappy". He knew that he couldn't answer casually at this time, otherwise he would accidentally offend her and he would suffer in the future.
