Chapter 582 Pretentious

Author: Gongsun Xiaoyue

From then on, Jiang Fu prepared meals every day, packed them in food boxes, and waited for Ding Chunfang to pick them up.

Ding Chunfang was such a smooth-tongued person, but he never dared to say an inappropriate word when facing Jiang Fu, because he knew in his heart that Jiang Fu would be the prince's woman sooner or later.

Ding Chunfang sent two guards to the book school every day to prevent Japanese pirates or scoundrels from coming to harass him.

Occasionally, when Gu Changyuan passed by the book school, he heard the tinkling of the piano and would stop and listen for a while.

If Jiang Furu discovers him, she will invite him in for a cup of tea.

If Gu Changyuan is in a good mood, he will taste the tea she brews.

Therefore, when Tang Qing found him to inquire about the capital, he was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Fu making tea for him.

"As expected of His Highness Prince Xuan, he has only been here for a short time and already has a confidante like Miss Jiang." Tang Qing's words could not be heard as praise or sarcasm.

Jiang Fu smiled, put a cup of tea in front of him, and said gently: "General Tang, let's try this cup of tea too."

Tang Qing held the small tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and smacked his lips: "I can't stand you so-called literati, all of you are pretentious, making a small tea cup worth a thousand gold, boiling and frying over and over again.

Such a small cup is not enough to soothe your throat!"

Jiang Fu said calmly: "General Tang's words are wrong. This is called tea ceremony."

"If you are asked to farm in the fields from morning to night every day, and fish at sea and be exposed to the sun, I will not believe it. How can you still make a cup of tea so slowly?" Tang Qing sneered, "take a scoop of water from the well.

Drink it in a big bowl and it will cool down and quench your thirst. That is what people really need!"

At the end, he added: "It's just that I'm so full that I have nothing to do! If you have money that's so wasteful, it's better to donate it to the soldiers for the war!"

Jiang Fu's cheeks turned slightly red and she smiled and said, "General Tang taught you a lesson."

She glanced at Gu Changyuan and wanted to know what he thought of Tang Qing's words.

Gu Changyuan was sitting by the window, playing with the tea cup with his right hand and supporting his chin with his left hand, looking outside with a somewhat distant look.

He didn't pay attention to the argument here.

Jiang Fu turned around and went back to the house. After a while, she came out, holding a small box, placed it in front of Tang Qing, and said with a smile: "This is a little savings I saved, and I think it supports the eradication of Japanese pirates."

Tang Qing rolled his eyes: "No need."

Gu Changyuan turned around and saw this scene and said calmly: "Miss Jiang Fu, you don't have to be like this. General Tang is just talking loudly, and he doesn't want your money." He then said to Tang Qing, "General Tang, this tea for Miss Jiang Fu belongs to her.

The tea sets were also passed down from her ancestors. She made her own money to support this book school, took in many children who had no money to study, and provided them with education and food. It was not easy, and she was not an extravagant person."

Jiang Fu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for explaining it to me. However, I think General Tang is right."

"It is indeed hard for the soldiers to fight, but that is the bounden duty of soldiers. They should do it, otherwise they will not eat this bowl of rice. You can make some tea so as not to interfere with their business." After Gu Changyuan finished speaking, he said to Jiang Fu

Said, "Actually, General Xiao Tang is not a mean or rude person. In his early years, he was a famous young talent in our capital. It's just that he has been in a bad mood recently and has spread his anger everywhere."

"Is there any difficulty with General Tang?" Jiang Fu asked.

"The difficulty for him is that he can't speak Japanese." Gu Changyuan said with a half-smile.

Jiang Fu smiled in surprise and said: "This is not a difficult task. There must be many people in the army who can speak Japanese. Just ask them to translate for General Tang."
